Chapter 105: Domineering Prestige

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

A full day of classes passed quickly, and it was dark before Hao Ren even notice. He put his books in his dorm and headed over to Zhao Yanzi’s house by bus.

Hao Ren didn’t go to Su Han’s office because he had something else to do in the afternoon. He didn’t mean to disturb her too much since she had to focus on her cultivation as well.

Getting instructed once or twice by her could save Hao Ren more than 100 days of cultivation. However, their relationship was in fact ‘the police’ and ‘the criminal”, so Hao Ren didn’t dare to swim into her net all the time.

His mom and grandma were already there when Hao Ren arrived at Zhao Yanzi’s place.

Zhao Hongyu was cooking in the kitchen with Grandma’s help. Although Yue Yang wasn’t good at doing housework, she still tried to help in there. The three of them seemed to be having a good time.

Zhao Yanzi kept running between the kitchen and the living room to check what was on the menu. She wanted to join them out of curiosity, but the kitchen was too small to fit all four of them. Therefore, Zhao Hongyu kept kicking her out.

Zhao Guang was fairly relaxed today; he sat comfortably on the couch, watching TV.

When he saw Hao Ren come in, Zhao Guang waved him over. Zhao Yanzi also saw Hao Ren when she got out of the kitchen, and she immediately put on her angry face to show that he was not welcomed.

“Ren is here?” Zhao Hongyu asked as she walked out of the kitchen, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“Sorry to cause you so much trouble, Auntie,” Hao Ren said.

“It’s ok. It’s nice to have everyone here, and I missed your grandma a lot since I haven’t seen her for days. I was thrilled when you called about the dinner,” she wiped her hands on her apron and said cheerfully.

It looked like she finally finished the design she had been working on and Zhao Guang must have successfully invited Elder Mu from the Qingfeng Forest; that was probably the reason why they both seemed really delighted today.

“Anything I can help with?” Hao Ren stood up from the couch and asked.

“No, your mom and grandma were of enough help!” Zhao Hongyu smiled and said, “Sit for a bit, and dinner will be ready soon. Zi got good grades this time all thanks to you!”

“It’s her own hard work…” Hao Ren said politely.

Zhao Yanzi hopped up as well and yelled, “Exactly! It’s all my hard work, and he didn’t help much at all!”

Zhao Hongyu rolled her eyes at Zhao Yanzi and went back into the kitchen.

“You!” Zhao Yanzi came to Hao Ren and questioned, “Did you go through my drawer at the Parent-Teacher Meeting?”

Seeing how upfront she was, Hao Ren thought,” I didn’t even blame you for trying to murder your fiancé! Are you trying to catch thieves or kill me?”

Then, Hao Ren said lightly, “Nah, I just put things in order while I was there. I found two comic books and a gossip magazine…”

Zhao Yanzi raised her eyebrows in surprise and immediately covered Hao Ren’s mouth.

Zhao Guang, who was watching TV beside Hao Ren, slowly turned to Zhao Yanzi and asked, “Oh, you are reading those in class?”

“No! No!” Zhao Yanzi shook her head like a pellet drum.

“Oh, my mistake. I was in the wrong seat at first, and those were in that person’s drawer. I was wondering how come a neat student like Zi would have such a messy desk,” Hao Ren looked up at her and said, “Do you still think that I went through your drawer?”

Zhao Yanzi knew clearly that he meant to tease her, but she couldn’t say anything. Her little chest went up and down as she puffed angrily as she sat on the other side of the couch.

Grandma and Yue Yang walked out of the kitchen at that moment.

Grandma smiled gently when she saw Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren staring at each other from Zhao Guang’s two sides.

“Hehe, dinner will be ready in a minute!” she said.

Boom… There was a sound of thunder outside of the house.

“Ah…How come it’s raining now?” Grandma looked outside and said gloomily.

“Mom, the tropical pressure is moving towards the east lately, and the warm moist air rises. That’s why it’s sunny during the day and more likely to rain in the evening. However, the rain won’t last long,” Yue Yang explained in comfort as she put a plate on the dining table.

“I don’t understand all that. In traditional saying, ‘the rain would fall when the dragon raises its head’,” grandma said and went back to the kitchen. Yue Yang shook her head with a smile and followed her into the kitchen.

Zhao Guang turned to Hao Ren and said, “Ren, come up with me and take a look?”

“Take a look at what?” Hao Ren was confused as he thought Zhao Guang meant something upstairs.

“Elder Xu is in charge of the rain today. I’ll bring you up to take a look,” Zhao Guang said calmly.

“Ah?” Hao Ren looked at him, surprised.

Having ignored Hao Ren’s reaction, Zhao Guang stood up and went upstairs. Hao Ren followed hastily after a few seconds of pondering.

Zhao Yanzi stayed on the couch to watch TV; she was still angry.

Zhao Guang took Hao Ren to the balcony on the second floor. With a swing of hand, a white light sphere enveloped the two of them.

At this moment, it was dark outside, and the clouds covered over the entire sky. Waves of fierce wind were crazily blowing the plants in the backyard, and it was clear that a storm was on its way.

Zhao Guang grasped onto Hao Ren’s arm and said, “Stand still!”

Shoo! The light sphere turned into a ray of white light and quickly shot into the sky. If there were anyone near them, they would have thought that it was a reflection of light off of a piece of glass.

Hao Ren felt like he had gone through a few layers of clouds, and his eyes were busy checking them out.

Then, he looked down.

“Damn……” He was already a few hundred meters in the sky!

However, Zhao Guang didn’t intend to stop at all. He dragged Hao Ren as they ascended further and further; they were even going at a speed that was faster than an airplane!

Soon, Hao Ren could see the entire city under him. All the skyscrapers were as tiny as a speck of dust!

Zhao Guang slowed down after they went through a layer of thick cloud, and the light sphere which had been protecting them slowly disappeared.

“Use your Spirit Concentration Scroll!” Zhao Guang said in a stern voice.

Hao Ren immediately used the Nature Essence in his body according to the Spirit Concentration Scroll obediently. At the same time, insane coldness slammed Hao Ren’s body as the light sphere vanished.

Hao Ren was barely able to resist the coldness with the Nature Essence stored inside his body, and he finally stood himself still beside Zhao Guang.

He lightly shook his dizzy head and realized that they were standing on top of a colorful board made from lights, and there was an old man in a green robe in front of them.

“Xu Wei welcomes Dragon King and Fuma!” this old man lightly bowed to Zhao Guang and Hao Ren. His eyes were bright, and his face was calm. One could tell that he was an upright and outspoken person.

“Yes,” Zhao Guang waved casually and said, “Nothing special. I just wanted to show Ren around. You can get back to work!”

“Yes!” The green-robed Elder bowed again to Zhao Guang and took a banner out of his chest pocket. He looked up into the sky and shouted after a few seconds, “Time is up! 36,000 liters of rain until 7:45 PM!”

Zhao Guang backed off 100 meters with Hao Ren. He wasn’t worried about Hao Ren being hurt by Elder Xu; instead, he didn’t want Hao Ren to get scared by the shocking power from such a close distance.

Splash…

Millions of white water droplets gathered from all directions.

It seemed magnificent and endless as if all the water from the river and the ocean had been pulled up around them.

Along with the generous water droplets that were now in the sky, the clouds underneath them started to generate lightning and thunder as well!

Rays of flash climbed through the clouds like snakes, and they made loud crashing noises whenever they ran into each other.

Hao Ren was almost going deaf due to the loud noises. He was too astonished by the view of tremendous water waves in the sky.

Elder Xu waved one hand, and the gigantic ‘lake’ that had formed in the sky suddenly fell straight down in streams.

Bang! Splash!

Then, millions of huge drops smashed down towards the city.

The water drops broke into smaller droplets over time and turned into dense yet plump raindrops!

Elder Xu, who was conducting the rain, waved his left hand that was in a cloud of green energy, and the millions of raindrops tilted towards the east!

Hao Ren could imagine what a storm this would be when the raindrops reached the ground.

This was exactly ‘Commanding the Power of Heaven and Earth with Domineering Prestige’!

Hao Ren asked Zhao Guang under the sound of the thunder after he had come to himself, “What level is Elder Xu on?”

“Not very high. He is only on Gen-level,” Zhao Guang answered calmly.

“Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan……” Hao Ren recited the levels in his heart. Gen-level was indeed not that high; even Lu Qing was on Kun-level.

Then, he realized that if even a Gen-leveled master could cause such astonishing effects, what would it be like for a Qian-level master to apply his or her techniques!

Zhao Guang didn’t pay attention to Hao Ren’s facial expression. He continued, “Several Elders are in charge of generating rainfall in turn. They have to be at least on Zhen-level to do so. Zi’s level was not stable, yet she insisted on trying last time, and that caused the whole incident.”

Hao Ren nodded and thought to himself, “I wouldn’t be standing here if it wasn’t for Zhao Yanzi’s mistake last time.”

He thought Elder Xu looked very impressive while directing the rain; his power was enough to empty a giant lake.

“When can I get as powerful as him…” Hao Ren thought as he used the Spirit Concentration Scroll to maintain his warmth.

“It’s time to eat. Let’s get back down!” Zhao Guang created another light sphere with ease and dashed down with Hao Ren.

The descending speed was even faster than the ascending speed; Hao Ren felt like he was falling straight down from the sky; it was scarier than the turbo drops he experienced in amusement parks.

Hao Ren opened his eyes and felt like he was being thrown to the ground like a bomb. Suddenly, he realized that no extreme sport could be exciting to him after this.

Even Zhao Guang could easily take his life by letting him go from a height like that, let alone Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle who was the most powerful person in the Human Realm. Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to stay alive even if he cultivated the Spirit Concentration Scroll to the max!

Hao Ren shivered at the thought of this, “With a powerful father-in-law like him, and a group of strong Elders who care so much about Zhao Yanzi, how dare a Fuma like me even look at other girls!”

Boom! Zhao Guang and Hao Ren landed on the balcony, causing no damage to the house.

Hao Ren checked his outfit and found himself completely dry.

They went downstairs to the dining room, and Zhao Hongyu was just putting all the plates in order.

“It’s dinner time, and you are still wandering around,” Zhao Hongyu glimpsed at Zhao Guang and said in dissatisfaction.

“Hehe, nothing special. Ren was interested in a China from the Qing Dynasty that I had in my room, so I showed it to him,” Zhao Guang sat down as he said to Yue Yang and Grandma as if nothing special happened.
