Chapter 567: A Taste of One's Own Medicine!!

ng added quickly,"Are you defecting Going over to my side" Hao Zhonghua tossed the documents on hand, pinched Yue Yang's ear.“In the end, it’s still fear of your mother” Yue Yang gloated triumphantly....Chapter 567: A Humiliating Display!!

Lu Qi looked back and found that the one speaking was Xu Ke, whom he had planned to have someone follow.

Hao Ren turned around as well and saw Xu Ke following behind. He broke out in a cold sweat instantly; he hadn't sensed any spiritual energy fluctuations from Xu Ke so he wasn’t aware of his presence among the crowd.

If they were outdoors, Xu Ke could have concealed himself perfectly to deliver a fatal blow.

"I'm going back," Zhao Yanzi tugged Hao Ren.

“Shall I send you” Hao Ren asked her.

She stuck out her tongue. "I know my way back, there's no need." She was a bit annoyed at the thought of having to take another simulated test later that afternoon.

"I have a bicycle. Let me give you a ride," Xie Yujia said immediately as she pushed her bike over.

She knew from Hao Ren that Xu Ke wasn’t an ordinary person and so she had him stay here to handle the situation while she took Zhao Yanzi away to keep her out of trouble.

Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia, nodded, and said, "Alright."

She didn't know what Xu Ke’s problem was. If Xie Yujia gave her a ride home, she wouldn’t have to walk herself.

Hao Ren watched them sit on the bicycle and pedal towards the school gate. He touched his forehead in puzzlement; how had they become so amicable

Wu Luoxue checked the time and leisurely strolled toward the main entrance of Donghai University. Although Zhen Ciming lacked a sense of time and didn't study hard, she still kept track of it as she needed to return for her class.

Zhen Ciming hurried after Wu Luoxue when he saw her slowly walking away.

The uniform of Lingzhao Primary School was different from other elementary schools’ blue and green sportswear styles; it was a black and white dress that looked a bit cool on the boys but very cute on girls.

Wu Luoxue wearing her Lingzhao Primary School uniform slowly walked through the college campus, turning heads everywhere she went. The other female students found her to be incredibly adorable like a little doll.

"Hmm!" Hao Ren watched them and suddenly wondered if Zhen Fei knew everything—she should know that Zhen Ciming was pursuing Wu Luoxue; however, he wasn't sure how she felt about the young wife Zhen Ciming had chosen for himself...

“Little Liu, test this student’s chess skill,” said Lu Qi to a member of the Go club.

Xu Ke deliberately came out to challenge the Go club as his countermeasure against Lu Qi's surveillance. However, Lu Qi was steady and calm in handling things, so he didn't fear Xu Ke stepping forward at all.

Lu Qi was already a level-changing cultivator; moreover, the power of his chessboard treasure wasn't weak either. Among young cultivators, especially within Donghai University, he was considered an expert.

"Sure." Xu Ke smiled and walked over, picking up a chess piece and placing it on the board.

The society member responsible for recruitment thought for a moment and decided to play a game of Go with Xu Ke.

Hao Ren couldn't imagine that Xu Ke, who enjoyed sports, would also be good at playing Go. He wondered if the training methods of the Golden Dragon Clan included chess skills

According to Yue Zilong's description, the Golden Dragon Clan was famous for its grueling training methods; those who hadn’t reached the Kun level weren't considered cultivators and didn't matter even if they died.

In such circumstances, he believed that every cultivator from the Golden Dragon Clan should be as obsessed with cultivation as Su Han...

Lyu Qi cautiously observed for a few moves before realizing that Xu Ke was placing his pieces randomly.

Crack!

Xu Ke placed another chess piece on the board.

The society member playing against Xu Ke felt that his opponent's strategy seemed chaotic and amateurish, but after being impressed by Jin Caiming and Wu Luoxue earlier, he didn't dare to underestimate him.

He carefully placed a counter chess piece on the board.

Ka...

The smooth chessboard suddenly cracked.

The society member who had just finished his move was stunned. Immediately after, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This was the authentic golden bamboo chessboard that Society Leader Lyu Qi loved most and kept as a personal treasure. For this recruitment event, he specially brought it out to impress people, but now it was broken!

"Society Leader..." This society member trembled while looking at Lyu Qi, afraid he would get angry.

Unexpectedly, Lyu Qi didn't look at him. Instead, he turned his head to look at Xu Ke and clenched his teeth. Although his strength was inferior to Hao Ren's, among the younger generation, especially in the fire dragon lineage, he was outstanding. Because his main cultivation method involved chessboard-type magical treasures, he had a special affection for Go boards and enjoyed playing Go.

Xu Ke's move clearly seemed like a response to Lyu Qi’s secret investigation of him.

“Senior, sorry it looks like I broke the board” Xu Ke saw Lyu Qi staring at him and nervously asked.

He took out his leather wallet from his clothes and pulled out several hundred dollars. "I’ll pay for damages, how much 300 or 400"

His expression and words were very sincere, making the surrounding students feel that this little freshman was really obedient. Moreover, it wasn't him who knocked the chess piece onto the board in the end; Lyu Qi might be powerful but he shouldn't bully freshmen.

Lu Qi gritted his teeth again. These students around him didn't have enough insight to understand that he had spent over 50,000 yuan on this chessboard, making it a valuable antique rather than something they could easily buy for a couple of hundred dollars.

Especially with such collections, price alone couldn't fully measure their worth. Lu Qi's pain and anger were hard for ordinary students to comprehend—perhaps only the members of the Go Club would understand his current state of mind.

"Forget it, no big deal," Lu Qi nearly squinted as he said this.

A cultivator shouldn't be too attached to material possessions. Although Lu Qi liked this chessboard, it wasn't a magical treasure; even if it were damaged, it wouldn't constitute real loss.

However, Xu Ke's actions had clearly declared his enmity toward Lu Qi. Conflicts between dragon cultivators were simple: they found an empty corner and fought fiercely within a red protective barrier.

"Senior, I'm really sorry," Xu Ke still placed 200 yuan on the broken chessboard before hurriedly turning to leave for the teaching building.

The surrounding students all sighed inwardly; this little brother was too honest.

However, Hao Ren knew that Xu Ke's action was a deliberate humiliation aimed at Lu Qi, seemingly targeting him but actually warning Hao Ren as well. If Xu Ke could humiliate Lu Qi, he would also be capable of attacking Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi—this posed genuine danger to Hao Ren.

Golden dragons were solitary creatures with no attachments; especially given that Xu Ke had a master behind him, obtaining what he wanted was priority. Even injuring Xie Yujia or Zhao Yanzi wouldn't make Xu Ke fearful.

"Tonight, I'll challenge Xu Ke," Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Arrange a place for us."

Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren with some surprise, "Ah"

Because the number of golden dragons was relatively small, most dragon cultivators hadn't challenged them before. When Hao Ren suddenly proposed to fight Lu Qi, it caught him off guard.

But seeing Hao Ren's resolute expression, he knew Hao Ren wasn't joking around. "Then let's use the playground; I'll set up a basic formation."

"Alright then," Hao Ren turned and picked up the shattered chessboard, infusing it with pure wood essence energy.

At the Go Club table was a black bag to store the chessboard. Lu Qi cherished this Phoebe bamboo board; he usually kept it in the bag without using it. Today, he had brought it out for some sunlight and for members of the club to play with, only to have Xu Ke break it.

"Put the chessboard away," Hao Ren placed the repaired chessboard into the black bag before handing it back to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi opened the bag and looked inside; he found that the previously broken board was now as good as new!

Hao Ren's move, subtle yet powerful! Wood cultivators were skilled at repairs but even they couldn't necessarily fix a Phoebe bamboo chessboard so perfectly. Hao Ren, as a water cultivator, had effortlessly mended it with just his touch.

This technique was beyond the capabilities of many wood cultivators since it required precise control over essence energy and profound awareness; yet Hao Ren managed to reconnect every single fiber in the board by merely touching it!

Strong! Very strong!

Lü Qi felt that now Hao Ren was even stronger than he had been during the Dragon God Temple examination period!

Originally, Lü Qi had worried about whether Hao Ren would be at a disadvantage when sparring with a gold sect cultivator. However, at this moment, he suddenly became full of anticipation! Were the gold dragon-blooded dragons as strong as they were rumored to be Could Hao Ren, who practiced all five elemental schools of magic, suppress the golden dragon

Hao Ren passed through Lü Qi's Go club and headed toward other clubs located in front of the Shanming cafeteria.

Yesterday, there had been a sudden downpour, and many clubs had temporarily closed their stalls. However, today's weather was quite good, so each club put out its recruitment booths.

When they saw Hao Ren walking over, all the members of these clubs felt immense pressure.

A club president who suddenly acquired 500 members in half a day! A super powerhouse who collected 250,000 yuan in membership fees in half a day!

Hao Ren glanced at each club and then directly walked to the largest one—the Rock Climbing Club.

When Huang Xujie, who was lying on an outdoor folding chair reading a magazine, suddenly saw Hao Ren walking over, he quickly stood up with a forced smile.

The former arrogant members of the Rock Climbing Club also showed respect to Hao Ren as he walked into their area.

"How much do you know about Xu Ke" Hao Ren asked Huang Xujie.

"I've looked him up! This brat used to be in Class 4 of North City No.1 High School, and his academic performance wasn't bad. He was also part of the school's long-distance running team. He didn't study in Donghai during middle school; his dormitory is Room 507 on South Dormitory Building 8, and his home address is at No. 269 Guang Yin Road, Western District..." Huang Xujie took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and read it.

Hao Ren looked at Huang Xujie and knew that he must have used connections in the police station to look Xu Ke up. However, getting Xu Ke's residential address was also good news, so he didn't let Huang Xujie finish reading out everything before taking the paper from his hand and putting it into his wallet.

"I actually wanted to give you a call—I hadn’t managed to find some information yet, but I think he lives alone; neither of his parents are in Donghai." Huang Xujie observed Hao Ren’s expression.

"Did he do something to make Brother Hao angry If so… shall I get someone to give him a warning"

Huang Xujie nodded. "Yes, yes, Brother Hao is right."

Actually, he had considered finding some Rock Climbing Club members and cornering Xu Ke for an interrogation, but somehow his intuition told him that sunny-looking Xu Ke was not to be underestimated.

Ji ji ji…

Xiao Bai jumped out from the grass behind the cafeteria and suddenly dashed onto Huang Xujie's desk, raised its butt, and left a trail of white droppings.art.If it weren’t for Hodge, she believed that she would like Zhao Yanzi too, and Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t have such strong animosity towards her either.Sigh... Xie Yujia sighed softly—she never thought sh...
