Chapter 189: Inspector’s Temporary Help?!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Inspector?” Hao Ren froze.
“In the Inspector System, we have Official Inspectors and Assisting Inspectors. Every Official Inspector can have one Assisting Inspector,” Su Han continued.
While she talked, she tore open the package of the instant noodle, placed all the items into a bowl, and poured hot water into it.
Hao Ren sat down and opened his package of instant noodle. It seemed like Su Han didn’t get him here to only fix the stuff for her; she also wanted to talk about this offer.
“What are Assisting Inspectors?” Hao Ren asked.
Su Han poured hot water into Hao Ren’s bowl and explained, “Assisting Inspectors don’t have to join Dragon God Shrine. The Official Inspectors can choose their own assistants and report to the headquarters. In short, they are unofficial helpers.”
Hao Ren didn’t know that Inspectors could have their own assistants. In his mind, Inspectors all operated independently.
“Most Inspectors don’t recruit assistants. After all, the Inspectors have passed multiple tests in Dragon God Shrine and have reached Kun-level at least. They didn’t need any assistance. On the contrary, the assistants might be burdens to them,” Su Han put the covers on the bowls while she explained.
Hao Ren nodded, thinking that if he were a Kun-level Master, he wouldn’t want a low Zhen-level cultivator to help him.
However, from what Su Han had told him, it seemed like she wants him to be her burden.
“The relationship between the Assisting Inspector and the Official Inspector is that of subordinate and superior. If you became my Assisting Inspector, you would be a part of Dragon God Shrine, and anyone who wants to attack you have to consider the potential backlash coming from Dragon God Shrine,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said slowly.
“In short, you want to protect me by giving me this identity, right?” Hao Ren asked her directly.
“I don’t have to give you special protection. With this identity, you automatically get some protection,” Su Han explained.
“Why would you do that?” Hao Ren continued to ask.
“You look good to me,” Su Han answered.
Hao Ren nodded and thought for a while before asking, “Does this have anything to do with Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle’s Heavenly Tribulation?”
“With Zhao Kuo’s strength, he has a 60% chance of passing the Heavenly Tribulation, which is a high success ratio itself. Combined with the careful preparations East Ocean are making, he should have a better chance than all the masters who tried to pass the Heavenly Tribulation in the last few hundred years. However, as an Inspector, I must be prepared if Zhao Kuo fails.” She lifted the cover of her bowl and picked up a pair of chopsticks.
The aroma of the instant noodle floated up. Hao Ren’s stomach grumbled, and he also lifted the cover from his bowl in a hurry.
If Zhao Kuo failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, West Ocean would take the opportunity to invade East Ocean’s territory. If the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, Hao Ren, a low-level cultivator, would be easily killed since no one would care if he was the Fuma or not.
This was what Su Han was worried about. That was why she watched the situation closely and wanted to give Hao Ren the title of ‘Assisting Inspector.’
Hao Ren understood Su Han’s motive. She looked cold but was quite good to him.
For Su Han, making Hao Ren her Assisting Inspector cost her nothing. Although she didn’t have high hopes for his cultivation future, he was quite useful to her, such as changing light bulbs.
“If you want the position, we’ll sign the contract. I’ll tutor you in terms of cultivation periodically, and you don’t have to do anything special for me. You just need to patrol with me when it’s necessary,” Su Han said, eating her noodles.
She was extremely beautiful, and it was somehow an enjoyment watching her eat the cheap instant noodle.
“Ok. I agree to be your… Assisting Inspector,” Hao Ren said.
“Good.” Su Han nodded and took out a piece of pale paper from her pocket. She murmured some words, and the paper turned into a beam of white light, shooting through the window.
“I just issued a voice transmission talisman to the Headquarter.” Su Han turned her head and looked at Hao Ren. “From now on, you are my Assisting Inspector.”
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded, knowing that the so-called Assisting Inspector was just a temporary help for Su Han, not an actual Inspector in the system.
After the instant noodles, Su Han took Hao Ren into her cultivation room to teach him how to use the energy spheres.
To build the energy spheres, one must form a screen with Nature Essence using the Spirit Concentration Scroll. Since people below Kan-level couldn’t see through the essence, they also couldn’t see through the energy spheres, let alone the potential battles inside.
Under Su Han’s instructions, Hao Ren tried several times before finally releasing a layer of essence from his body and forming a solid energy sphere. It was the essential ability of all cultivators. From now on, no matter whom his rivals were, he couldn’t fight in front of mortals.
He also learned that the red spheres meant practice fights whereas the white spheres represented death battles.
After he had mastered how to create the energy spheres, Hao Ren sat down to cultivate. Su Han didn’t tell him to leave, and that meant she allowed him to stay. After all, even if Hao Ren harbored any bad intentions toward her, he would be no match for Su Han, a Qian-level Master.
They sat facing each other. The purple smoke in the incense furnace floated up gently under the soft lights in the room.
Swoosh! Hao Ren had a feeling of ventilation in his body.
In the Dragon Core, the third opening was unlocked!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Like bubbles, another two openings appeared in the Dragon Core.
Hao Ren was pleasantly surprised. He had made no progress recently with his cultivation, but he had just unlocked three openings in one go.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before he could savor this moment, another two openings were unlocked in the Dragon Core!
Two plus three plus two. He had unlocked seven openings by now, and five of them happened in quick succession!
The feeling was so wonderful that Hao Ren didn’t dare to move. He sat quietly, hoping that more openings would be unlocked.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Hao Ren hoped to hear more of such sounds.
However, the Dragon Core was silent. It was just absorbing the essence from nature at high speed.
Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw Su Han sitting cross-legged across from him. Her posture was so still that she looked like an elegant stone statue.
He observed her closely and found her beauty flawless. Her skin was like polished jade, and her facial features were so exquisite that it looked like they came from a perfect drawing.
Her gorgeous curves were so beautiful that they made her look like the masterpiece of a great artist.
“No wonder the extremely arrogant Qin Shaoyang has fallen for her,” Hao Ren thought to himself.
He turned his head to check the time and found that it was already six o’clock in the morning!
They had spent the whole night cultivating.
Su Han opened her eyes slowly.
“Let’s have a practice battle. If your sword energies can touch me, you win.”
