Chapter 352: Old Dragon King!!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
A black Bentley Arnage slowly drove into the campus of East Ocean University.
At the sight of such a car, many students paused their steps and watched.
The short and bright Elder Sun got out of the driver’s seat and talked to a nearby student before handing him a 100-yuan bill.
With the money in hand, the student hesitated for a few seconds before entering Academic Building D.
He jogged to Room 304 and knocked on the door.
The teacher who was in the middle of teaching the class went over and opened the door.
“Hao Ren, someone is waiting for you downstairs!” The student yelled and ran off without waiting for a response.
The students close to the windows all stuck their heads out and looked downstairs.
A black Bentley Arnage was parked on the roadside, giving off a serious presence under the sunshine.
Elder Sun looked up and waved his hand.
“It’s a Bentley that’s worth ten-million-yuan!” Yu Rong, who was a loyal reader of car magazines, shouted in surprise.
Immediately, the room became boisterous; the students ignored the teacher at the platform and swarmed to the windows.
Sitting not far from the window, Hao Ren stood up and looked out of the window as well.
Dressed in a red traditional Tang suit, Elder Sun looked very sharp. He waved at Hao Ren with a gentle smile on his face.
“Ugh…” Hao Ren had a bad feeling about it.
Looking around, he saw the windows of other classrooms were also crowded with students.
Under the curious gazes of the students, Elder Sun stood there steadily like a lighthouse by the ocean.
Hao Ren immediately turned and rushed out of the classroom.
Boisterously, his classmates followed him to watch the drama downstairs even though they were still in the middle of the class.
Lightly, Hao Ren skipped down the steps and appeared at the entrance of Academic Building D in the blink of an eye.
Elder Sun bowed at him. “Gongzi Hao, the old dragon king has returned. Please get into the car.”
The surrounding students were either stunned, confused, curious or baffled…
Hao Ren was in the center of attention on campus for a while. As time went on, the dust had settled down. But today, this drama roused new public interest in Hao Ren.
“Ok.” Involuntarily, Hao Ren nodded and got into the car.
However, his dumb act looked very pretentious to Yu Rong and the others.
“Who is this Hao Ren? Last time when a Mercedes came to pick him up, I heard that it was from the family of a girl he was tutoring. But this time, he is being picked up by a Bentley which was worth ten-million-yuan?”
“Hao Ren’s name is going to spread all over the school instantly! And the pretty girls will swarm to him!”
Yu Rong, Zhou Liren, and the other guys were overwhelmed!
“Is this the Hao Ren that has been hanging out with us in the dorms?” they thought.
After Hao Ren got into the car, Elder Sun returned to the driver’s seat and started the Bentley.
The surrounding students at the entrance of Academic Building D gave way to it.
Elder Sun, one of the purple-robed elders, came to pick Hao Ren up in person, and that alone signaled the importance of the meeting.
Hao Ren was feeling very unease!
Standing by a window on the sixth floor of the Arts Building, Qin Shaoyang spun a small golden weaving shuttle in his palm.
After the Bentley drove out of the school, he stopped playing with the golden weaving shuttle before vanishing.
Standing on the top of the building on the other side of the Arts Building, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili watched the Bentley leave the school and exchanged a look. Then, they turned into two green light beams and vanished as well.
The black Bentley Arnage drove steadily along the road.
With his hands on the steering wheel, Elder Sun looked serious but remained silent.
Hao Ren didn’t speak either as the car drove toward the headquarter of Mingri Group which was located in downtown.
In the sunlight, the Mingri Group’s headquarter with its bright windows shone like a giant in the city.
“Gongzi Hao, here we are,” Elder Sun said abruptly.
Hao Ren looked out at the road and gathered his thoughts. The car drove so smoothly that he didn’t even notice that it had stopped.
After getting out of the car, he looked up at the sun and found the sunlight blinding.
“Summer is coming.” With that thought, he followed Elder Sun into the hobby on the first floor of Mingri Group’s headquarter.
Both Hao Ren and Elder Sun remained silent as they took the elevator up to the top floor.
Then, Elder Su led Hao Ren toward the meeting room. Hao Ren had been here once when he and Zhao Guang met for the first time.
In the meeting room sat the elders of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
The only difference between now and the last time was that a white-haired old man took the head of the table.
After bringing Hao Ren into the meeting room, Elder Sun silently returned to his seat.
Hao Ren looked at the old man cautiously. Since Zhao Guang didn’t offer an introduction, he just stood there.
All the people turned their gaze to Hao Ren.
Today, all the purple-robed elders were present. Some of them thought that Hao Ren, the future Fuma, was disposable to the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and if they pushed him out to take the blame for the incident around the West Ocean Dragon Palace, the crisis East Ocean faced would be over.
“Zhen-level,” After casting a glace at Hao Ren, Zhao Haoran said.
“Yes,” Hao Ren answered.
“You destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, didn’t you?” Zhao Haoran asked.
“Right,” Hao Ren answered.
From the white-haired man’s aura and Zhao Guang’s expression, Hao Ren knew that this old man was Zhao Haoran, the legendary old dragon king.
Zhao Haoran looked him for another few seconds up and down.
Meanwhile, Hao Ren circulated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to its peak.
From the old man’s aura, Hao Ren knew that his power was no less than Su Han’s!
He was almost on the same level as Zhao Kuo!
“Very good,” Zhao Haoran said two words.
The elders all looked surprised, especially those purple-robed elders who opposed to keeping Hao Ren as the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Palace; they looked at each other in astonishment.
After all, Hao Ren destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace and broke the balance among the four ocean dragon palaces. That made the West Ocean Dragon Palace the sympathized party in the public’s opinion and directly gave birth to the establishment of the Anti-East Ocean Alliance. How could that be ‘very good’?
“This time, the West Ocean Dragon Clan has been severely damaged. They pulled allies to their side, showing that they are afraid!” Zhao Haoran stated as he emphasized each word.
Now, the elders in the meeting room were totally confused.
“As to the issue of Hao Ren being Little Zi’s Fuma, I’ll do more tests. But you…” Zhao Haoran stood up and looked around at the elders in the meeting room before asking “What are you afraid of?!”
His words entered the elders’ ears like a dharma spell.
The words instantly woke them up.
Indeed! The West Ocean Dragon Clan had lost more than ten Qian-level and Kun-level master, and half of their dragon palace was destroyed. Now was the weakest moment of the West Ocean Dragon Clan. They even had to pull South Ocean and North Ocean to boost their courage. If the East Ocean Dragon Clan waged war against the West Ocean Dragon Clan, it was doubtful that the other two ocean dragon palaces would be fighting in the frontline.
The dragon cultivators disapproved of the things the East Ocean Dragon Clan did, but it didn’t mean that they would dare to wage a civil war against East Ocean.
After all, no one was certain which party held the justice, the East Ocean Dragon Clan or the West Ocean Dragon Clan!
“Elder Lu, Elder Sun!” Zhao Haoran’s voice resonated in the room.
“Yes!” Elder Lu and Elder Sun immediately stood up and answered.
“Go to the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan to deliver notices of war respectively. Tell them that if they don’t withdraw the blockage on the business of Mingri Group, we’ll declare war against them!”
Zhao Haoran emphasized each word.
“As you wish!” Elder Lu and Elder Sun sat back down.
The remaining elders looked at each other and didn’t know how they should feel. Zhao Guang had issued invitations to the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan, and none of them accepted the invitations or the gifts. Now, the old dragon king was issuing them notices of war!
The elders were nervous, but no one dared to speak.
“What about the West Ocean Dragon Clan?” Hao Ren couldn’t help asking.
The elders sitting behind Elder Lu and Elder Sun looked at Hao Ren and Zhao Haoran.
Hao Ren had asked their question.
“Ignore them!” Zhao Haoran walked out of the meeting room. Then, he turned his head and said to Hao Ren, “You, come with me!”
Seeing Zhao Guang still sitting in the meeting room, Zhao Haoran pointed at him, saying, “Come as well!”
After Zhao Haoran left with Hao Ren and Zhao Guang, the elders in the meeting room began a heated discussion. With a cold smile on her face, Elder Xingyue left the room with Elder Lu and Elder Sun.
Zhao Haoran’s return meant the end of peace! The nagging purple-robed elders were opinionated in front of Zhao Guang, but they absolutely had no say before Zhao Haoran.
After all, in the last war in the cultivation world, Zhao Haoran had killed dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
That was the war that established the ruling position of the dragons on the land while the dozens of big cultivation sects had to abandon the land and move up on and above Fifth Heaven with hundreds of small sects.
At the same time, Zhao Haoran knew that he couldn’t pass the Heavenly Tribulation due to his intense murderous spirit, and he retired from the ruling position of East Ocean to live like a hermit abroad.
With the return of such a ‘Killing God’, even the distant Dragon God Shrine would shiver, let alone the elders in the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
After entering the CEO’s office next door and sitting in the chair behind the desk, Zhao Haoran glanced at the chair across from the desk and said, “Sit.”
Hao Ren inhaled slightly and sat across from Zhao Haoran.
He sensed an overwhelming aura from this old man. It wasn’t derived from his nature essence; it was a murderous spirit that even Su Han didn’t possess!
It was a combination of proudness derived from the moments of life and death, dominance derived from battles, and fierceness derived from commanding wars!
He had retired for almost 100 years, and the West Ocean Dragon Clan thought this legendary figure had died. Everyone thought the East Ocean Dragon Clan was bluffing when they heard that this great figure was returning.
However, contrary to their assumptions, Zhao Haoran had indeed returned!
