Baffled, Hao Ren stood on the beach, looking up into the sky which had become quiet. “Strange. Is it possible that the lightning cultivation is no longer effective?”

Standing on either side of him, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and didn’t understand the situation as well.

“Forget it. It’s quite a feat to have unlocked one opening.” Hao Ren withdrew his sword energies before looking at the Lu sisters. “It’s done. Let’s go home!”

“Ok, Gongzi!” They answered cheerfully, stepping up to hold his arm before walking with him toward the house by the seaside.

In pajamas, their bodies felt warm. Above the quiet beach, the clouds had scattered, revealing the bright moon and sparse stars in the sky.

Humming a song, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili skipped along, each holding one of Hao Ren’s arms.

Hao Ren’s clothes were torn, but he was pleased since tonight’s cultivation proved the effectiveness of the lightning cultivation.

In the sea far from them, Oldman Zeng stumbled out of the water. His face was burned black by the lightning, and he had even lost half of his dragon horn. Looking at his torn robe, he exhaled a black breath and let out a furious roar!

He had cultivated hard for hundreds of years, but the efforts were all lost in one night.

The sudden Heaven Tribulation had cost him a small part of his realm, making him drop to low-tier Qian Level from mid-tier Qian Level!

“Who launched the sneak attack on me?” Oldman Zeng roared tragically while his burned hair and mustache began to fall from his head and face.

Oblivious to the fact that his lightning cultivation on the beach had cut a small part of realm off Oldman Zeng, Hao Ren took the cheerful Lu Linlin and Lu Lili back to the house.

Grandma was still soundly asleep in her room when Hao Ren tiptoed back to the second floor with the sisters.

“Gongzi…” at his door, Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren and said.

“What?” Hao Ren looked at her.

“Forget it. It’s nothing.” Lu Linlin lowered her head, bringing the tip of the two forefingers together.

“Ok. Good night.” Hao Ren smiled at her.

He turned and entered his room. When he was closing the door, he heard Lu Lili ask Lu Linlin outside the door, “Sister, did you want to sleep in Gongzi’s room?”

“What are you talking about? I just wanted to chat with him.”

“Auch! It hurts, Sis!”

Then, their voices disappeared.

Resigned, Hao Ren smiled and changed into his pajamas to sleep. Even when he was not cultivating, the dragon core was quietly absorbing the essence from nature.

The power he got from the bolts of lightning tonight was equivalent to what he got from one week’s cultivation. Of course, this method was only available to cultivators like Hao Ren who were cultivating the five elements simultaneously and had masters like Lu Linlin and Lu Lili guarding him. Otherwise, even Zhen-level cultivators would have their meridians destroyed by such powerful lightning.

By cultivating five elements simultaneously, he had five elemental pillars in his body to counter the bolts of heaven lightning.

However, for cultivators who cultivated only one or two elements, the lightning power would break down to the five elemental essences, and only one or two aggressive elemental essences would be blocked. The other three or four elemental essences would severely damage their bodies.

The dangerous cultivation technique and strict restrictions were the reasons why the lightning cultivation had lost its appeal and was forgotten by cultivators.

After all, it was challenging to borrow the power of the Heaven Dao to elevate realms.

Quietly, Hao Ren straightened up his meridians before going to sleep.

The next morning, the sunlight shone on his bed, waking him up with its warmth.

“Sleeping in my own bed is indeed comfortable…” He yawned and stretched. Then, his hands bumped into two soft bodies.

Opening his eyes, he found Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sleeping on either side of him in their quilts.

The room was filled with their fragrance; they had slept with him for half a night.

Sunlight shone through the windows and spread in the room.

Convinced it was not a dream, he immediately sat up.

His movements woke Lu Linlin and Lu Lili up. Rubbing their eyes, they looked at Hao Ren and said. “Let us help you change out of your pajamas…”

“No! No! No!” Hao Ren jumped out of bed, clutching his pajamas tightly.

“We wanted to keep you company, but there are no mats in your room,” Lu Linlin explained.

Hao Ren had been to the Dragon Palace and knew the so-called bedrooms all had small beds for maids. However, he was still panicking when he saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sleeping by his sides.

Seeing the alarm on his face, Lu Lili giggled, covering her mouth with her delicate hand in embarrassment.

“Go back to sleep. I have something to do today.” Swiftly, he took out his clothes from the closet and left the room.

After his escape, Lu Linlin pouted and looked at Lu Lili helplessly. “I just wanted to chat with him. Who knew that would sleep like a log?”

Lu Lili giggled and said, “Sister, the middle spot where Gongzi slept on is still warm. I’ll take the spot now!”

“Damn sister! It’s mine!” Lu Linlin rolled over and occupied the middle spot.

They messed with each other in their pajamas in Hao Ren’s room. Meanwhile, Hao Ren had changed out of his pajamas and walked into the living room. Seeing it was already nine o’clock, he went into the garage. He looked at the white Ford and the red Ferrari in hesitation before starting the Ferrari.

After the first formal lightning cultivation last night, he felt so good as if all the cells in his body had been reborn.

The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a technique to cultivate sword energy through lightning cultivation, while the book of sword energy array formations that the old Grandma gave him recorded real sword techniques.

In the future, he would rest for several days before summoning the lightning again to temper his body. In this way, the five elements in his body would be replenished very quickly. After all, as long as he had built a solid foundation, the later stages of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll would get easier.

While he drove, he remembered that Zhao Kuo, who had lost all his cultivation strength, was also cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. Suddenly, he was concerned about the current state of Zhao Kuo.

Thinking about it, if Zhao Kuo hadn’t disappeared, Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t have lost her source of income, and he wouldn’t have to go shopping with her.

The sky was clear, and the sun was bright.

When he came to the door of Zhao Yanzi’s home, it was ten o’clock.

Ding! Ding!

Hao Ren rang the doorbell.

Dressed in a tightly fit purple sweater, a pair of pale blue jeans, and white denim shoes, Zhao Yanzi rushed out of the door with her hair down.

In the sunlight, she looked young and bright. The thin sweater accentuated her elegant figure so well that Hao Ren suspected she was taking physique classes on the weekends.

Bang! She got into the car and wrinkled her nose at Hao Ren. “Let’s go!”

“Zi, you won’t come back for lunch, right?” Zhao Hongyu opened a window and asked her in a loud voice.

“No! We’ll eat out!” Zhao Yanzi turned her head to the window and yelled back.

“Ren, tonight, we’ll go to your Grandma’s place. You can go there with Zi directly,” Zhao Hongyu told Hao Ren.

“Ok!” Hao Ren started the red Ferrari which shined brightly in the sunlight.

Looking at them through the window, Zhao Hongyu smiled in satisfaction with a spoon in her hand. “It seemed to be Zi and Ren’s first date,” she thought.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Yanzi emitted a youthful aura.

Her straight hair gleamed a dark red color in the sunlight.

Her hair was fine and straight. While she looked down at her clothes, her hair fell forward and blocked her face, revealing her small ears.

“Where do we go?” Hao Ren asked her while driving.

“Nanjing Road,” Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips and answered in excitement.

As the center of East Ocean City, Nanjing Road was full of stores and malls and was the favorite shopping place for girls.

Hao Ren drove toward Nanjing Road.

While he looked at the right rear mirror, he sneaked a glance at her.

Zhao Yanzi was young, but she had inherited her mother’s slim figure and her father’s distinct facial shape. She was indeed pretty.

The limited version Ferrari attracted the eyes of the pedestrians.

Finally, they arrived at Nanjing Road, the center of East Ocean City.

He drove around and parked the car before walking with Zhao Yanzi to the car-free zone.

Strolling with Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren found many young people doing a double take.

Zhao Yanzi in Grade 8, and she looked like a pretty girl-next-door. Her bright eyes and delicate face attracted many admiring glances.

Her fashionable sweater accentuated her lively and exquisite figure; it was not sexy but very eye-catching.

At least six so-called ‘star scouts’ ran over to offer auditions for movies or commercials, but Hao Ren turned them all down.

Some journalists secretly or publicly took her pictures, and Hao Ren spotted their movements immediately.

However, he didn’t care about the photographers as long as they didn’t bother her. If her pictures were posted in fashion magazines, her vanity would be satisfied.

It was the weekend, and many young people were out shopping. There were many pretty girls and handsome guys among them, but none of them looked as dashing as Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.

In a clean short-sleeved shirt and a pair of casual jeans, Hao Ren was one head taller than Zhao Yanzi while they strolled together.

Besides Zhao Yanzi’s photos, he didn’t know that the photographers were also taking pictures of him.

After reaching Zhen-level, he had a unique presence. In the eyes of the fashion photographers, it was laziness in simple clothes, an aura even a professional model couldn’t mimic.

Of course, for the young people, their glances were mainly at Zhao Yanzi who was as pretty as a star. Hao Ren was quite handsome, but not devilishly dashing.

The sight of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi walking together gave them an amazing feeling, making young couples look at them with amazement and envy.

Feeling their admiring glances, Zhao Yanzi, who had been walking with Hao Ren shoulder to shoulder, stepped closer to him.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she gently tucked her hand under his arm.

Hao Ren shivered and looked at her in surprise.

Zhao Yanzi pulled him forward until he caught up to her pace. She raised her head slightly and glanced at him. “Uncle, don’t pretend to be dumb. I know you are smug.”

With her arm around his, Hao Ren turned to look at her and couldn’t help grinning; he was indeed enjoying this.
