Chapter 398: Personal Coach

The eastern Mount Tai had the element of wood, the western Mount Hua captured the element of metal, the southern Mount Heng contained the element of fire, the northern Mount Hang absorbed the element of water, and in the center was Mount Song which pulled in the element of earth.

The Five Mountains Bracelets contained the power of the five sacred mountains, locking all five elements within them.

The Five Mountains Bracelets contained the power of the five fundamental elements. Unless the cultivator reached peak Qian-level which was on the verge out jumping out of the wheel of reincarnation, no one could escape the wrath of the bracelets.

Inspectors used them to capture dragon cultivators, and sometimes even human cultivators. No matter which clan the cultivators belonged to, they would not be able to escape their power.

Hao Ren practiced the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, which incorporated all five elements. However, even he could not escape the magic of the Five Mountains Bracelets.

Su Han waved her hands in the air, skipping lightly while still running at a brisk pace. She was beside Hao Ren, ensuring he was keeping up.

Everyone around Hao Ren envied him, thinking how lucky he was to have such a beauty running beside him. For Hao Ren though, he dragged his body unwillingly, showing no signs of thankfulness.

The mortals were unable to understand the pressure Hao Ren was under. Hao Ren was under the spell of the five sacred mountains, and his every step took a toll on his body. His strength and nature essence decreased drastically with every movement.

The Five Mountains Bracelets were powerful enough to seal the nature essence and physical strength of cultivators who had the ability to transform into dragons. To capture these powerful cultivators, the one who had the bracelets on should not be able to have the ability to move freely.

Su Han ‘forced’ Hao Ren to wear the powerful bracelets, but he could still use 40% of his power. However, for Hao Ren who had only reached Gen-level, even running was an extremely tedious exercise.

“If we don’t get to the school by eight, the Five Mountains Bracelets will decrease your power to only 20%,” Su Han said while briskly running alongside Hao Ren.

Su Han’s leaf-patterned shirt fluttered against the wind; she looked taller under the blue sky and the shades of trees.

The blue and white mini skirt pants she wore emphasized her long and beautiful legs. Each of her steps was firm, and each of her breath followed the same rhythm.

“Ok…”

Hao Ren tried his hardest. Using all his nature essence to counter the power of the Five Mountains Bracelets that he wore, he continued to run.

“Faster,” Su Han yelled as she took out her short bat and poked Hao Ren in the back.

The pain of the poke went through Hao Ren’s body; it was unbearable.

However. That pain also unleashed his potential to run faster. Now. Hao Ren realized that Su Han was not just poking him for fun. Instead, every poke went through an acupoint, helping him grow stronger.

Just like the unbearable pain that one must endure to go from Kan-level to Li-level, then from Li-level to Zhen-level, and finally reaching Gen-level; the pain he endured was immense.

However, he understood that to reach a higher level, he must endure a greater amount of pain.

If one cannot persevere, one could not become a strong cultivator. This was the Heavenly Dao that everyone must follow.

In the beginning, Su Han had low expectations for Hao Ren. However, his outperformance made her believe in him. Now, the thought of taking him to the Dragon God Shrine and make him into an official inspector had even budded in her mind.

The dragon core in Hao Ren’s body was spinning rapidly under the bracelets’ pressure. The bracelets had suppressed the power of the dragon core, which stimulated the nature essence within his body.

Hao Ren had cultivated all five-elemental essences simultaneously. For others who had only cultivated one or two elements, they would not be able to endure the elemental pressure of the Five Mountains Bracelets on the elemental essences they hadn’t cultivated.

However, Hao Ren had all five-elemental essences, so he was under the pressure of all the element, yet the pressure stimulated his body and his dragon core.

The wonder of the Five Mountains Bracelets was that it had a fine balance of all five elements. There was a delicate balance of the five elements in Hao Ren’s body as well.

Bup! Another opening appeared on the dragon core, and Hao Ren’s nature essence slowly flowed out of the opening.

However, the leaking nature essence was quickly sealed by the Five Mountains Bracelets.

Hao Ren took half a step with his left foot and another half step with his right foot. Following the fundamental boxing technique he learned, he stepped into a white tiger position, and he focused the nature essence in his palm, flowing it directly to his head.

The spiritual core that had originally been sleeping in the Qihai Acupoint was quickly awakened.

The power that Zhao Haoran had accumulated in his one thousand years of training was all within it.

This was the energy of top-tier Qian-level!

The Five Mountains Bracelets which were in Hao Ren’s arms, legs, and neck let out a dim, warm light.

White, green, blue, red, and yellow!

Just when Su Han was about to use her short bat on Hao Ren again, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her eyes.

The lights released by the Five Mountains Bracelets signaled that it was about to be set free.

“It can’t be!? Did Hao Ren reach top-tier Qian-level already?” Su Han thought.

However, the signals displayed by the dharma treasure told no lies.

Suddenly, the lights darkened.

Hao Ren was exhausted and almost fell to his feet.

Su Han’s eyes opened wide, but they slowly returned to normal.

If Hao Ren were able to break free from the Five Mountains Bracelets, Su Han would be deeply impressed and shocked by his ability.

There was only one way for the Five Mountains Bracelets to be broken; one had to reach top-tier Qian-level.

“Hurry up!” Su Han took out her short bat and hit Hao Ren on his thigh.

“Ah… ah…” Hao Ren yelled in pain as he continued to run.

Although Hao Ren felt like he was having a small breakthrough, it only appeared in a flash unexpectedly. He wasn’t able to increase his understanding of the Heavenly Dao; he only got one more opening on his dragon core.

No matter how much pain Hao Ren displayed on his face, Su Han kept a cold expression on hers.

She knew deep in her heart that Hao Ren didn’t like this suffering, but the perseverance that Hao Ren had was no weaker than hers. Otherwise, he would have given up a long time ago, and she wouldn’t have stopped him from giving up either.

“Pa! Pa!”

The sound of Hao Ren’s steps became louder. Due to his continuous battle with the Five Mountains Bracelets, he slowly became accustomed to them, learning the rhythm.

A delicate array formation connected the Five Mountains Bracelet, and this array formation would have a split-second pause every second.

If Hao Ren could take advantage of that split-second pause by controlling and using his nature essence preciously, he still got a chance.

The opportunities Su Han had to poke Hao Ren with her short bat decreased as Hao Ren slowly caught up to her by himself.

“That’s Su Han, right? The guy next to her is Hao Ren, the person that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili like?”

Just as the first class of the day was about to begin, Su Han and Hao Ren reached the paths near the school. The students that were on their way to school witnessed the sight of Hao Ren and Su Han, which was a picture to the eyes.

Hao Ren was wearing a Hawaiian outfit, so he looked extremely sharp. Anyone from miles away could see him in those bright colors.

The male students who witnessed this scene were filled with curiosity and envy.

“He’s running with Su Han this early in the morning, how nice…” They thought.

Su Han wasn’t a figure who was easy to approach. Therefore, they couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to have the chance to run with her in the morning.

She was in a soft shirt and mini skirt pants, exhibiting the brightness of youth.

Su Han breathed out slowly as she tried to maintain her running speed while leading Hao Ren to the entrance of the East Ocean University. The air seemed to smell like flowers as she passed by.

Hao Ren didn’t want to enter the university like this by creating such a big scene. However, he couldn’t handle Su Han’s poking with her short bat, so he obeyed her orders and followed her into the administrative building.

Amongst those students at the entrance, there were not only ordinary students but also a select group of students – young dragon cultivators!

They were very envious as they saw Su Han and Hao Ren slowly fade into the horizon.

It was almost time for the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine. It would be great to have an official inspector like Su Han to be one’s personal coach!
