“Ugh.” Hao Ren was stupefied.

“If Gongzi doesn’t want us to take classes, we will keep you company every day,” Lu Lili said, misunderstanding Hao Ren’s expression.

“That’s not what I meant; I was just surprised.” Hao Ren shook his head immediately. Although people were free to enter the university, it would still be too eye-catching to walk with two super beauties every day around campus.

“Yesterday, we paid our respects to the Dragon King and little Zhumu. Tonight, my sister and I will pay our respect to Taijun,” Lu Linlin said.

“Taijun?” Hao Ren froze for a moment before he realized that they were referring to his grandma.

“No! No!” Hurriedly, Hao Ren stopped them. “I will find a time to introduce you to her.”

Hao Ren was frightened by them; it was one thing that Grandma suddenly had Zhao Yanzi as her granddaughter-in-law, it was quite another for her to find two beautiful twin sisters who were about 18 years old calling themselves maids.

“We will follow Gongzi’s instructions.” Lu Linlin smiled sweetly at Hao Ren before walking toward one of the academic buildings with her sister hand in hand.

After a moment of consideration, Hao Ren crossed the campus and returned to his dorm for books. The dorm room was empty, and he guessed that Zhao Jiayi must have gone for his morning jog while Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua were still at the Internet Cafe.

It was almost time for class, so Hao Ren grabbed his textbooks before walking into the campus; he tucked in the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll with the books.

It was still early when he got to the classroom. Hao Ren took a seat in the back row and began to read the technique scroll. With his experience with the Spirit Concentration Scroll, Hao Ren found the content not too difficult for him.

He finished reading the thin cultivation technique scroll in half an hour, and he had a general understanding of the cultivation method which was to turn the five elemental essences in his body into sword energies. He must turn the sword energies into solid ones and increase their strengths gradually.

The fantastic part about it was that he could have five sword energies circulating in his body, and the five sword energies could also combine into one Hundun 1 Five Elemental Sword which could eventually reach Tiangang-Grade.

As the cultivation progresses, the Five Elemental Sword could be split into countless small sword energies. A real master could causally release thousands of sword energies and condense them into solid Tiangang-Grade physical swords.

If they were used according to military strategies and the Art of War, they would turn from a majestic rain of swords into all kinds of sword array formations!

Hao Ren wasn’t clear about the concept of ‘Tiangang’, but he thought it must be something majestic.

On second thought, the description in the scroll was a bit far-fetched. It would be a great feat for an ordinary cultivator to condense one elemental pillar and gradually break through into a higher realm. However, this technique scroll instructed one to cultivate the five elements simultaneously. If a cultivator had a weaker understanding of any one of the five elements, the cultivator wouldn’t make any progress at all.

Like the boards which formed a wooden barrel, the five elements must have the same height to contain the Nature Essence. Any weakness in any elements would stop the progress.

Hao Ren forced himself to memorize the technique scroll. But before he could review it, the scroll suddenly turned into golden light sparks and vanished.

Stunned, Hao Ren realized it was an anti-theft mechanism designed by the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Any scroll would turn into golden light sparks and return to the array formation on the bookshelf in the Profound Cultivation Palace after one reading.

Students began to file into the classroom. With dark circles under their eyes, Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua finally appeared, and so did Zhao Jiayi who had changed into dry sportswear.

The few girls sat in the front rows while the guys gathered around Hao Ren.

“Ren, you are awesome to have two beauties trailing behind you.”

“There’s one more. They even say that Su Han is his girlfriend!”

“That’s nonsense! I don’t believe that they had dinner at the Hongji Square. But I saw those two beauties with him yesterday with my own eyes!”

“Ren, tell us the truth! Who are they, and why did they call you Savior?”

They crowded around Hao Ren’s desk.

Hao Ren was exasperated. It seemed that the rumor had spread fast last night, and now they all came to him for confirmation.

“Breaking news!” Yu Rong rushed into the classroom. “The two beauties, one is called Lu Linlin and the other is Lu Lili. They are both freshmen of the Films Major!”

“No way! If they are freshmen, how come we didn’t know about them?” The guys turned to Yu Rong and questioned the credibility of his news.

“I’m not finished yet!” The one thing that Yu Rong hated the most was people doubting the accuracy of his information. He continued, “They just registered a couple of days ago. It’s said that they postponed the registration due to sickness.”

Now, the guys were all convinced. They turned to Hao Ren immediately and asked, “Hurry up! Tell us how you made their acquaintances and why they called you Savior!”

Hao Ren had no choice but to answer, “I don’t know them well. One day when I was crossing a street, a car drove straight toward them, and I dragged them to safety before the car could crash into them.”

The guys believed his story, lamenting, “What a lucky guy you are! I wish I could be as lucky as you!”

Yu Rong raised his hand to stop the guys’ chatter. “I still have some speculative information that I have not revealed. The two beauties are granddaughters of Lu Qing, the Vice Principal of our university!”

All the guys quieted down at this information.

“According to the rumors, just rumors,” Yu Rong emphasized the word ‘rumor’ before continuing, “they came to the school yesterday in Lu Qing’s car.”

Hao Ren’s heart lurched, amazed that the twins attracted attention wherever they went.

“Awesome! By going out with his granddaughters, you have now connected with the school’s Vice Principal!” the guys yelled at Hao Ren after a silent moment of astonishment.

“Go away! And stop gossiping!” Hao Ren waved them away.

The guys settled down when the teacher came in, and the class began.

“Ren, I hope you can loan me some luck with girls. Just thinking of the two beauties calling you Savior makes me dizzy…” Zhou Liren leaned toward Hao Ren and whispered.

Hao Ren glanced at him, thinking that Zhou Liren would die of pleasure if he could be addressed as ‘Gongzi’ by the twins all day long.

Sitting in the front row, Xie Yujia focused her attention on the lesson and seemed oblivious to the guys’ gossips.

Buzz… Hao Ren’s cell phone on the desk vibrated.

He picked it up and was surprised to find Zhao Yanzi’s message.

“I hope she’s not asking me to help her cheat on her exam again……” Hao Ren thought while clicking open the message.

“My first class this afternoon is P.E. What’s your schedule?”

“My schedule?” after a moment of pondering, Hao Ren replied, “You want me over to watch you play volleyball?”

“Bah! Who wants you over?! What I meant was that I plan to skip the boring P.E. class and go out for fun. This is the plan: I’ll go to your school and visit Sister Su and then watch you play basketball!” Zhao Yanzi sent another text message.

“Playing basketball? It’s not on my schedule,” Hao Ren replied.

“That’s settled! I’ll come over after the attendance in the P.E. class. You will play basketball!”

“Are you serious? I shall reschedule and play basketball just for your pleasure…” Hao Ren was speechless at the message.

It suddenly dawned on him that she was actually jealous of the Lu sisters. The purpose of visiting Su Han was to find an ally against the potential danger. With her female instinct, she must have known that the Class President was not into him, and the real threat came from the Lu sisters. “Your school gate will be locked in the afternoon. How can you get out?” Hao Ren sent a text message to her.

“I’ll climb the wall!” Zhao Yanzi replied in her text message.
