Hao Ren had never thought of allying with Su Han.

Now thinking about it, although his realm was far behind hers, he would still be of the same status once he became an official inspector.

“The general examinations of the Dragon God Shrine is soon, right?” Hao Ren asked.

Last time, Su Han told him that the exams were a month away, so Hao Ren tried his best to cultivate during this time.

A while had passed, so it should be any day now.

“More accurately, it will be this Friday. The general examinations will take place over three days. The first day is the written exam and the latter two days are combat exams. I’ve already enrolled you as my assisting inspector when I went back to the Dragon God Shrine this time.”

“Written exam…” Hao Ren hesitated.

“Don’t worry about that. It is nothing important compared to the combat exams. I will help you review some of the things an inspector should know during this week.”

Before Hao Ren could say anything, she added, “Come to my place after six.”

Hao Ren’s lip twitched. He had been tutoring Zhao Yanzi every day, and he never thought that Su Han would volunteer herself to be his tutor.

Without further explanation, Su Han headed to the administrative building along the lakeside road.

Her speed was neither too rushed nor too slow. She walked ahead with her feet touching the ground softly as if she was a fairy on the lake. One might think that she was walking on water.

In addition, her perfect ice-cold face made the males in the area stand where they were and gap.

The returning of Su Han became the most significant news on campus on Monday.

It seemed like the entire campus had been lit up with energy and passion along with her reappearance. Hao Ren admired her charm deeply since she never liked attending school activities in the first place.

Hao Ren walked to Building D for his Introduction to Mechanical Design class. Finals were approaching, so he didn’t let his guard down on his schoolwork. Everyone knew that the professors might ‘accidentally’ point out the main concepts that would be on the final exams in the last few classes. Thus, even if a student skipped the entire semester, he or she should not be skipping the last few classes.

“Brother Ren! Brother Ren!”

Zhou Liren called out his name as soon as he walked into the classroom.

“What…” Hao Ren walked over lazily.

“Su Han is back, right?” Zhou Liren dragged onto Hao Ren’s shirt and asked in excitement.

“Um, I suppose.” Hao Ren sat on the chair calmly.

“Still pretending! Still pretending!” Zhou Liren was so excited that his face twitched. “I heard that you and she were walking along the lake a moment ago!”

“Aoy…” Hao Ren didn’t know what to say to him.

He looked forward and saw Xie Yujia and Ma Lina working on their notes in the front row. The review material Xie Yujia gave him worked very well last time, and he was able to catch up with all the classes he missed.

Xie Yujia was in a long shirt-style dress, and it looked charming compared to her usual conservative style. The silk material made her look lighter, and a thin black belt hung on her waist. She had a perfect figure: slim waist, long legs, smooth neck, well-developed chest, and smooth skin. She had everything she needed to be a supermodel!

“So, is Su Han going to teach us again?” Zhou Liren suddenly turned Hao Ren’s head to him with his hands.

Hao Ren saw Zhou Liren’s twisted face, and the beautiful scenery was immediately ruined.

“I guess…” Hao Ren answered casually.

Beep, Beep…Hao Ren received a text message on his new phone.

He opened it up and saw Xie Yujia’s message. “You got the new phone?”

He looked up and caught Xie Yujia smiling at him.

“Yeah, I got it,” Hao Ren texted her back.

“Did you buy other things as well?” Xie Yujia sent another message.

“Yes, everything is in my backpack,” Hao Ren answered.

“Um!” Xie Yujia responded with a simple text. Then, she waved at Hao Ren and turned back to her notes.

Even though she was only sitting, she was the focus of people’s attention.

“Going hot and heavy!” Zhou Liren nudged Hao Ren with his arm.

If Su Han was the kind of beauty all men worshipped, Xie Yujia was the kind of beauty that men would find intimate and close.

To guys like Zhao Liren, it would be a great honor for them to get close to Su Han, and it would be a great pleasure for them to date Xie Yujia!

“This is the last class before finals, so pay attention!” Hao Ren patted Zhou Liren’s forehead. “By the way, where is Zhao Jiayi?”

“He is coming because he asked me to save a spot for him.” As soon as Zhou Liren finished talking, Zhao Jiayi rushed into the classroom and sat down beside Hao Ren. He was breathing heavily.

“Damn, you are finally here. I haven’t seen you in ages!” Zhao Jiayi shouted, “What was with the Bentley pickup?”

“Yes! That Bentley! I almost forgot about it!” Zhou Liren shouted as well.

“Nothing… it was just a relative from abroad,” Hao Ren answered casually.

“Here we go again…” Zhao Jiayi looked at Hao Ren and said, “We are all friends here, yet you still lie to us!”

“They picked me up on their way, and I couldn’t say no…” Hao Ren got a little clumsy with his words in front of Zhao Jiayi.

“Also, you are not even staying in the dorm room now. Every night, we have to tell the dorm manager that you are in the bathroom when she comes to count the people…” Zhao Jiayi glimpsed at Hao Ren.

“Um…” Hao Ren was a little embarrassed.

He had been cultivating on Fifth Heaven these days and hadn’t been sleeping in the dorm for a while now. It had cut back the time he had to spend with his good friends.

“I’m not blaming you, but we are worried about you since you are always outside. Some of your foreign relatives probably came back, and you are probably loaded now. We just hope that you will still see us as your friends,” Zhao Jiayi said to Hao Ren.

He talked as the captain of the dorm, but Hao Ren could sense the sincerity in his tone.

Yes, the four roommates were good friends who shared good times and woes no matter if they had money or not. Hao Ren seemed to be slowly drifting away from their group, and it made Zhao Jiayi feel sad.

“Someone on my basketball team told me that Huang Xujie is trying to find people to beat you up. I don’t know if it is true, but you should take care of yourself while you are alone out there. Call me if anything happens!” Zhao Jiayi said to Hao Ren seriously.

Hao Ren appeared to be abandoning his roommates lately, yet Zhao Jiayi was still worried about his safety.

“Ok!” Hao Ren nodded decisively.

In fact, even if Huang Xujie found thousands of fighters, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Hao Ren now.

However, Hao Ren felt thankful that Zhao Jiayi cared about him.

“How is the basketball team doing?” Hao Ren asked.

“We are almost in the finals! It will be in Hangzhou on July 15th! We have been training like crazy these couple of days!” Zhou Jiayi exhaled deeply.

“Can you get into the finals?” Hao Ren asked.

“We will try our best. Now we are in semi-finals, and the team we are playing against the day after tomorrow is very strong! It’s South Ocean University!” Zhao Jiayi answered.

Hao Ren carefully observed Zhao Jiayi and found him stronger than before. The intensive training and matches must have made him even better than he used to be.

Hao Ren sensed an extraordinary domineering temperament from Zhao Jiayi!

He remembered Su Han telling him about how Xie Wanjun was able to sense Heavenly Dao by practicing basketball. Xie Wanjun was in the same realm as the third level of Spirit Concentration Scroll.

As a Gen-level cultivator, Hao Ren could sense Zhao Jiayi’s level. It equaled to the first level of Spirit Concentration Scroll!

Hao Ren didn’t know that the extra nature essence he pulled from nature while he cultivated in the dorm sank down to Zhao Jiayi’s lower berth. The latter breathed it in during his sleep, and it largely improved his physique. As the saying goes, once a person became an immortal, his relatives and followers would ascend with him!

Hao Ren hadn’t been back to the dorm for quite a while now, and Zhao Jiayi had been practicing every day, exhausted from training.

Although Zhao Jiayi’s techniques were being improved, his physique stayed the same. Therefore, the path of progressing in the championship was getting more and more difficult now that they were faced with stronger and stronger teams.

The first level of Spirit Concentration Scroll was to connect with the heaven and earth to sense the natural essence as well as to purify the body. Then, the second level was to direct the nature essence into the body to temper it. Last, the third level was to place the nature essence outside the body and control it.

Hao Ren sensed that Zhao Jiayi was already on the edge of the first level, so he patted on Zhao Jiayi’s shoulder and said, “Fighting! You will be able to get into the finals!”

“Definitely!” Zhao Jiayi was very confident as well.

Hao Ren laughed as he took his hand back.

Zhao Jiayi was stupefied. Suddenly, he felt like something broke throughout his body.

He just got out of a high-intensity training session, and he felt that his body reached another level.

Zhao Jiayi found it strange, but he couldn’t articulate the feeling. A streak of energy went through his body and made each and every joint crack.

“So, this is what it feels like to break through my limit!” Zhao Jiayi comprehended many things at once, and all kinds of basketball skills appeared in his head!

He was even uncontrollably confident about when to stop, when to jump, and when to shoot. Everything was precise to the centimeter!

However, he didn’t know how to describe the feeling to Hao Ren, Zhou Liren, and Cao Ronghua. So, he just assumed that it was an illusion.

Zhao Jiayi turned to Hao Ren and found him slightly frowning at his book as if he couldn’t comprehend what he was reading.

“Ren, you missed so many classes. I wonder how you are going to pass this exam,” Zhao Jiayi shook his head at Hao Ren as he thought to himself.
