Chapter 256: Zhen-level
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were looking for Hao Ren in the sky while Hao Ren was driving back to East Ocean University with Xie Yujia.
“Are your wounds still hurting?” sitting in the passenger seat, Xie Yujia asked Hao Ren softly.
“It’s fine now.” Hao Ren drove the car calmly.
The clothes he was wearing at the moment were all ripped apart and had blood stains all over, but the determined look on his face made him look reliant and manly.
Xie Yujia was going to ask him about his relationship with Zhao Yanzi, but she held it off after a second thought.
The car traveled on the road quickly, and they were back on campus soon.
After dropping Xie Yujia at the front of the Academic Building, Hao Ren started the car again. “I’m going to get some new clothes; the ones I’m wearing now look terrible.”
“Ok.” Xie Yujia nodded. She felt a bit relieved after seeing that Hao Ren was totally fine.
Hao Ren drove off slowly. After he saw Xie Yujia enter the Academic Building through the rear-view mirror, he turned back immediately and drove to the Administrative Building.
After parking the car downstairs, Hao Ren raced into the building and rushed to the stairs.
Hao Ren went to Su Han’s office by bumping the door open.
After closing the door, Hao Ren clenched his teeth as he couldn’t take it anymore. He jumped on the couch, and his entire body twisted.
It was a requirement to experience the pain that results from the transformation of the body when advancing from Li-level to Zhen-level.
He looked like he was driving calmly earlier, but he was actually clenching his teeth and trying to overcome the painful struggle.
The extreme pain had already started when he was giving Zeng Yitao a ‘lesson.’
He pretended to be calm only because he didn’t want to expose his weakness to Zeng Yitao.
Now, sweats were dripping down Hao Ren’s forehead.
On the way back, he stayed silent while driving. It seemed like he was deep in thought or trying to suppress his anger, but the fact was that he almost fainted because of the sharp pain.
He didn’t want Xie Yujia to worry about him. Therefore, he tried to refrain himself from showing anything abnormal.
There were some elixirs that could eliminate the pain in Su Han’s drawer. However, Hao Ren didn’t want to take them even though he was suffering extreme pain.
The greater the pain he overcame, the brighter the future he could have. The realm he could reach would be limited if he relied on elixirs.
Lumps of clouds gathered in the sky above the Administrative Building.
He had to put up with the extreme pain that would thoroughly remold himself in order to advance in the realm, and he had to go through a Lightning Tribulation because of the elevation in Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll’s level.
He used to have Su Han’s protection, but he could only rely on himself at the moment.
Purple Cloud Lightning Tribulation!
A needle-thin dash of lightning split the array formation that was set up in Su Han’s office and stabbed directly at Hao Ren’s heart.
The immeasurably powerful energy instantly filled Hao Ren’s body.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll immediately started to eliminate the lightning power that kept getting more powerful and was dashing around Hao Ren’s body.
Hao Ren’s meridians would burst whenever the lightning went through.
Half of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were damaged.
Meanwhile, the recreation of the meridians wasn’t completed yet.
Hao Ren had to endure the tribulation for human cultivators and the tribulation for dragon cultivators.
One mouthful of fishy and sweet blood gush to his throat, but Hao Ren forced it back down.
There would be a Lightning Tribulation every time the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll went up in level, and the power of the Lightning Tribulation would get stronger each time.
Hao Ren needed to be entirely concentrated while he was going through this. Otherwise, he could lose all of his cultivation strength and die!
The needle-thin purple lightning pierced into Hao Ren’s body continuously.
He felt like every acupoint on his body was going to explode.
Hao Ren felt like the full power of Life-Death Note was probably similar to this.
Boom!
108 main acupoints in his body couldn’t bear it anymore and finally exploded.
At this moment, all the clouds in the sky disappeared in a flash.
Half an hour later, Hao Ren slowly woke up and saw his clothes completely torn apart. The couch he was lying on turned black and burned as well.
Hao Ren was quite terrified after going through that. It was indeed dangerous to go through a Lightning Tribulation without anyone else watching over you.
The Dragon Core was as smooth as before, all the 40 openings on the Dragon Core had been smoothly polished. Although the acupoints and meridians in his body were still quite numb, they were slowly recovering.
If Hao Ren had been a regular brat before, he could be called a talented cultivator now.
The experience of thoroughly remolding himself was extremely painful, but his body composition and quality improved spectacularly.
Yu Rong and the others might not be able to tell the difference since they were with Hao Ren almost every day, but any of his old classmates from high school would be surprised to find that Hao Ren had turned from average to outstandingly handsome.
Even his gestures and expressions followed the natural laws.
“Woosh.” Hao Ren exhaled; he almost dropped his phone on the floor after realizing how ragged he was.
He picked up the phone and saw a message from Xie Yujia asking how clothes shopping was going.
Hao Ren thought for a while and replied that he got the clothes and would be back in class soon.
He couldn’t go out like this, so he called Lu Linlin and asked her to bring him some clothes.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili felt anxious as they could not trace Hao Ren. They didn’t realize that they could have used their phones until Hao Ren called them.
Lu Linlin patted her head. Although they bought cell phones, they never remembered to use it.
The Lu sisters arrived at Su Han’s office shortly with a set of clothes.
Seeing Hao Ren in some burned clothes, they were shocked. “What happened to you, Gongzi?”
Hao Ren showed a bitter smile. “I’m at Zhen-level now.”
They paused for a second out of surprise, and then their expressions turned joyful. “Congratulations, Gongzi!”
“I’m lucky that I got the 40th opening.” Hao Ren looked at them and asked as he took over the clothes, “You guys aren’t leaving the room?”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked back at Hao Ren, covered their mouths and laughing. Finally, they walked out of the office while holding hands and waited for him outside.
As a matter of fact, how could a door block them if they really want to look?
Hao Ren walked out in his new outfit; he looked extraordinarily handsome except for his messy hair. He was gentle yet had power, and he was calm as well with fierceness. If it were on Fifth Heaven, a cultivator at the Core Formation Realm like him would be called Uncle-Master and respected by the cultivators in the sect.
“Gongzi is getting more and more handsome now.” Seeing Hao Ren coming out, Lu Linlin slipped in some sincere but also flattering words.
“So, the reason that Gongzi looked for us was to have us watch over you? I’m sorry we were late,” biting her lower lip, Lu Lili apologized.
Hao Ren didn’t want to talk more about what happened in the valley, so he shook his head and said, “No worries; it was scary but not dangerous. Everything is fine.”
He looked back at the burned couch in Su Han’s office and said, “I guess I have to get Su Han a new couch now.”
“Leave that to us,” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said joyfully.
The stronger Hao Ren got, the happier they became. They knew many interesting places in the mortal world. Unfortunately, Hao Ren wasn’t able to explore with them with his current strength.
