Chapter 110: Charging at Qian-level

“Thanks for the reminder.” Hao Ren nodded before standing up.

Su Han looked cold and aloof, but she was caring in terms of cultivation. She was a selfless teacher and a good friend.

Hao Ren now felt like he was back in the first level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll with the boundless Nature Essence running through his body. The difference was that the Nature Essence now was controlled by his thoughts, and he could store it in his body or push it out.

Seeing Hao Ren getting ready to leave, Su Han said suddenly after half a second of thought, “There is something else.”

Hao Ren stopped and wondered why Su Han was so talkative today.

“There is one important thing,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said, “The Spirit Concentration Scroll can only toughen your body. Only after you enter Kan-level can you be called a real cultivator. You swallowed Zi’s Dragon Core, which is a natural Dharma treasure, that could assist with your cultivation, but you need to find a Mystic Crystal to match your Dragon Core to keep your Nature Essence together; the grade of the Mystic Crystal will determine the potential of your future cultivations.”

“Mystic Crystals?” Hao Ren was baffled since he had never heard of this before.

Su Han said earnestly, “If Gen-level is the highest you want to achieve, the Mystic Crystal doesn’t mean anything to you. They didn’t inject a Mystic Crystal in Zi, and she didn’t work hard. Thus, her cultivation realm is not solid. All her achievement in cultivation was the result of the elixirs that East Ocean had. If you had swallowed a mature Dragon Core, you, a mortal being, would have been dead long ago. The elders were afraid to speak the truth to Zhao Guang; they simply attributed the weakness of Zi’s Dragon Core to her young age. The real reason Zi’s Dragon Core was weak was that her cultivation is bad.”

Hao Ren nodded and waited for her to continue. Su Han wasn’t a big talker, but whatever she said was valuable.

From Premier Xia, he knew that Su Han had been an awe-inspiring master of Kun-level at 15; it proved her words that age had nothing to do with the matureness of the Dragon Core. Those elders were afraid to point out the fact that Zi was a lazy cultivator and concealed the truth with vague references to her age.

“Besides, I appreciate your fast cultivation progress and your ability to suppress the aggressiveness of the Dragon Core. However, your current speed may not be sustainable. Each level in the future would be extremely difficult to break through. The good news is that Zi’s immature Dragon Core matches your progress from zero.”

Hao Ren listened to her attentively. As an Inspector of the Dragon Tribe, Su Han was fair and honest.

“Let’s return to the Mystic Crystal. East Ocean’s expectation for you is Zhen-level, and that’s why I think Zhao Guang won’t approve injecting a Mystic Crystal into you. Apart from the danger, the acquisition of the Mystic Crystal would be difficult. Even in East Ocean Dragon Clan where countless treasures are collected, it is hard to find natural treasures that can be made into a Mystic Crystal.”

“How come Mystic Crystals are so rare that even the rich East Ocean Dragon Clan might not have it?” Hao Ren thought.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he asked, “Su Han, what does your Mystic Crystal look like?”

“Humph!” Su Han rolled her eyes at him and snorted, “The Mystic Crystal is a personal secret, and I will never reveal it to you! But I can tell you that I got it after risking my life.”

Hao Ren looked at Su Han in admiration as he believed that Su Han was the kind of person who would do anything to elevate her cultivation realm.

“What does a Mystic Crystal look like?” Hao Ren asked.

At Hao Ren’s insistence, Su Han hesitated and answered after a moment of consideration, “The Mystic Crystals don’t have a fixed shape. In your case, you will have a pure Water Body Type, so you need to find objects of pure water elements. For example, the Purple Crystal Gel, Seven-Heart Coral, and Kiren Scale, etc. If you can’t get them, at least you must find a West Ocean Mystic Ice.”

Hao Ren had never heard of the items Su Han just mentioned, but he forced himself to memorize them.

He knew he would need a water elemental Mystic Crystal since he would develop in the direction of a pure Water Body Type. Su Han, according to Premier Xia, had the Metal Water Body Type, and that was why she could cultivate at an unusually fast speed. However, it also brought the difficult problem of finding a Mystic Crystal that could fit her. No wonder she only got the satisfactory Mystic Crystal at the risk of her life.

After seeing Hao Ren’s expectant expression, Su Han froze for a moment before saying, “That’s all.”

“Oh…” Hao Ren relaxed and silently reviewed what Su Han had told him. He said, “Su Han, thank you for teaching me this. Now, I have to go since I have class soon.”

“Ok.” Su Han nodded and picked up a textbook and some notes from her desk. At this moment, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that the upcoming class was actually Su Han’s class.

Not wanting to go to the classroom together with her, Hao Ren left Su Han’s office first. Gathering his thoughts, he went out to find Zhao Jiayi and his other two buddies.

Standing at the door, Su Han watched Hao Ren leaving and thought, “What’s wrong with me today? Why did I tell him those things? Do I really expect him to reach Qian-level with his shabby chaotic five elemental mortal body type?”

“But the kid has grit. He could bear the excruciating pain and even refused to take the pill to relieve the pain. It’s more painful for his chaotic five elemental mortal body type to transform into a better body type. It will be a feat to bear such pains. Maybe he will reach a higher realm than expectation…”

Smoothing the hair on her forehead, Su Han shut the office door behind her and walked toward the stairs.

Outside the building, Hao Ren called Zhou Liren and asked, “Where are you?”

“In the classroom! Damn, where have you been? Do you really want to miss Su Han’s class?! We’ve saved a seat for you in the sixth row! They are the best we’ve ever got. Hurry!” Zhou Liren yelled into the phone.

“Coming! Coming!” he replied.

“Well, the best seats ever! I can look at Su Han across the table every day and don’t need to stare at the great beauty in class!” he thought.

Despite his silent complaint, Hao Ren didn’t dare to miss her class. Su Han was called the Icy Beauty not only because she never smiled, but also because she was extremely strict with her class of Weak Optical Signal Processing; it had the largest number of failed students each term.

Although Hao Ren was friends with her in private, he didn’t think Su Han would be lenient towards him in examinations.

When he rushed into the classroom, Zhou Liren stood up and beckoned at him. “Here! Here!”

Hao Ren glanced at him, and sure enough, they were in the best seats in the sixth row. No wonder Zhou Liren was so excited on the phone.

“We came here one hour earlier. We don’t have Advanced Mathematics this week, so we came directly from the stadium to occupy the seats. Even when we did that, we only got the sixth row when we came in,” Zhou Liren praised himself.

“Ok! Ok! Look at your ugly face!” Hao Ren pointed a finger and poked Zhou Liren’s face, directing it away from him.

“No way! I’m more handsome than you!” Zhou Liren, a passable handsome guy, retorted immediately.

As soon as he said that, he found something not right. He leaned to one side and looked at Hao Ren up and down. He thought in puzzlement, “How come Ren looks more handsome than before all of a sudden? Is it possible that this guy has gotten plastic surgery? Why is he getting more and more dashing these days?”

Hao Ren ignored him and turned back to look at the girls who had to sit in the back row; Xie Yujia was one of them.

The moment Hao Ren looked back, Xie Yujia also looked at him. She shivered a little in confusion. “Is he really Hao Ren? How come his temperament is better again?” she thought.
