Ren stood dazed on the beach, looking up at the unresponsive sky. "Just now, could it be that the lightning cultivation technique failed"

Luli and Lilii from both sides looked at each other, equally puzzled by what had happened.

Well, opening even one acupoint is still a good result. Hao Ren put away his cultivation method and looked at the Lu sisters: "Let's call it a day and head home!"

"Yes sir!" They cheerfully agreed with Hao Ren and immediately came over to either side of him, holding his arms as they walked towards the small villa by the sea.

Wearing pajamas, their bodies still felt warm. On the quiet beach, clouds dispersed, leaving a clear sky dotted with stars.

Luli and Lilii hummed lullabies while hopping along despite holding Hao Ren’s arms.

Hao Ren's clothes were somewhat torn, but tonight’s cultivation proved that after the earthquake, the lightning cultivation technique indeed worked. He felt quite pleased.

Far out in the sea, Old Zeng emerged from the water, his face blackened and his dragon horns half broken off. Clumsily getting up from the seawater, he looked at his torn robe and spat out a mouthful of dark qi before suddenly shouting angrily! Hard work for hundreds of years, back to square one in an instant!

This sudden heavenly tribulation had stripped him of half a layer of cultivation. It had dropped him from the Heaven Rank middle grade directly to the Heaven Rank lower grade.

"Who’s plotting against me!" Old Zeng shouted mournfully, and his singed beard and hair fell off his cheeks in clumps.

Hao Ren didn’t know that his lightning cultivation had struck Old Zeng out at sea. With Luli and Lilii happily pleased with him, he returned to the villa.

Granny was still fast asleep in her room; Hao Ren led the Lu sisters back upstairs quietly.

"Sir," as they reached the room door, Luli suddenly looked at Hao Ren with a pout.

"What is it" asked Hao Ren.

"It’s nothing," said Luli, her head lowered and her index fingers touching each other.

"Then go to bed early."

With that, he turned around to enter his room and closed the door slowly. He faintly heard Lilii ask Luli outside the room, "Sis, do you still want to sleep in a room with Sir"

"Where did you get such ideas I just wanted to chat for a while."

“Ouch, big sister!”

The sounds of their playful bickering faded away outside the room.

Hao Ren smiled helplessly and changed into his pajamas, then slept soundly. The effects of the Dragon Dan are that even without cultivation practice, it can silently absorb the energy from heaven and earth, converting excess spiritual energy.

The power he gained from swallowing lightning today equaled a week's worth of hard training for him. Of course, only a cultivator like Hao Ren, who advances in all five elements simultaneously, could use this method, and even then it required the protection of experts like Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉; otherwise, even a magnitude-level cultivator would suffer irreparable damage to their meridians when encountering such lightning tribulation.

Advancing in all five elements is akin to using five pillars to withstand successive heavenly bolts. But if one practices with only one or two attributes, lacking the other three or four 'pillars', the remaining elements would be enough to cause severe damage to the body due to the energy of the thunderbolts.

Given how dangerous this cultivation method is and its stringent conditions, it's no wonder that lightning cultivation techniques have gradually declined and fallen into disuse.

To harness the might of heaven’s way and achieve one's own realm—how could such a feat be so simple

Hao Ren silently sorted out his chaotic meridians before drifting off to sleep again.

The next morning, warm sunlight fell on Hao Ren's bed, waking him up in warmth.

There’s no place like home!

Hao Ren yawned widely and stretched lazily, only then realizing that his hands were touching two soft bodies.

He opened his eyes to find Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 each wrapped in a small blanket, sleeping on either side of him!

The room was fragrant; they had quietly accompanied Hao Ren through half the night, one on each side.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed.

Hao Ren confirmed that this wasn’t a dream and quickly sat up.

Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 stirred slightly in their sleep. Rubbing their eyes, they looked at Hao Ren: "We were going to dress you."

"No need, no need," Hao Ren pulled his pajamas on and jumped off the bed.

"Originally, we just wanted to accompany you. But there’s no place for us to sleep in your room," Lu L琳琳 explained.

Hao Ren had been to the Dragon Palace and knew that in so-called bedrooms, maids always had their own little beds. However, having Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 suddenly sleeping on either side of him still made him a bit anxious.

Seeing Hao Ren's anxious look, Lu 莉莉 couldn’t help but giggle, covering her red lips with her delicate hand while she laughed bashfully.

"You two can continue sleeping. I have something to do today," Hao Ren quickly took clothes from the wardrobe and left the room.

Seeing Hao Ren leave in a hurry, Lu L琳琳 pouted and looked at Lu 莂莉莉 with resignation: "I wanted to chat with Master but didn’t expect him to sleep so soundly."

Lu 莂莉莉 covered her mouth and giggled again. "Big sister, the middle is where Master slept; it’s still warm there, I want to take that spot."

"You little brat! Dare you take what's mine" Lu L琳琳 rolled over and pounced on the middle.

Lulin and Lili were wearing pajamas, playfully roughhousing in his room. Hao Ren, however, put on ordinary clothes and went to the living room where he found that it was already morning. So he entered the garage, looked at a white Ford and a yellow Ferrari, hesitated for a moment, then started up the Ferrari.

After experiencing his first formal lightning refinement last night, Hao Ren felt as if all of his cells had been activated, making him feel invigorated throughout his body.

The Split Light Sword Shadow Technique uses the method of lightning refinement to practice sword cultivation techniques, while the secret manual on sword formations given to him by the old woman was the true way to manipulate swords.

In the future, as long as he allowed his body to recover every few days and then draw lightning to refine his body, the Five Elements within his body would be replenished quickly. Ultimately, a technique like Split Light Sword Shadow Technique becomes simpler to practice once its foundation is firmly established.

While driving, Hao Ren thought of Zhao Kuo who had lost all his cultivation. Both he and Zhao Kuo practiced the Ten Thousand Shadows Technique, making him suddenly concerned about Zhao Kuo's current situation.

Thinking further, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo's disappearance and Zhao Yanzi losing her economic support, Hao Ren would never have been the one accompanying her to go shopping.

The weather was clear and sunny.

Hao Ren arrived at Zhao Yanzi’s doorstep precisely at ten in the morning.

*Ding dong*.

Hao Ren pressed the doorbell.

Zhao Yanzi, wearing a tight purple thin sweater, blue and white jeans, and white canvas shoes, with her straight hair flowing freely, rushed out from the front door.

In the sunlight, she looked youthful and vibrant. Wearing this kind of light sweater in early spring accentuated her figure beautifully, even making Hao Ren wonder if she had taken a form training class over the weekend.

*Bump!* She sat into the car and wrinkled her nose at Hao Ren: "Let’s go!"

"Yanzi, you won't be coming back for lunch today, right" Zhao Hongyu asked loudly from an open window.

“Yeah! We’ll eat out!” Zhao Yanzi turned to look up at the window and shouted even more crisply.

"Hao Ren, we'll go to my grandmother's place tonight; you can just come over directly," Zhao Hongyu continued talking to Hao Ren through the window.

“Okay.” Hao Ren started the gleaming yellow Ferrari in the sunlight.

Zhao Hongyu, who was watching them from the window with a ladle, smiled contentedly. This seemed to be the first official date between Yanzi and Hao Ren.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Yanzi exuded youthful vitality.

Her straight hair reflected tiny beams of light in the sunlight, especially under the influence of the light, it appeared with a hint of dark red.

The strands were fine and straight. When she tilted her head to check her outfit coordination, her face was covered by her hair, but her small ears peeked out.

“Where are we going” Hao Ren asked while driving.

"Nanjing Road," Zhao Yanzi pouted slightly and said excitedly.

Nanjing Road was the heart of Donghai City, with numerous shopping malls, making it a favorite place for girls to go shopping.

Hao Ren was driving the car towards Nanjing Road.

Taking the opportunity to observe through the right side mirror, Hao Ren secretly glanced at her again.

Although he felt that she wasn't very old, "it must be acknowledged" that Zhao Yanzǐ indeed inherited her mother's slender figure and her father's clear facial features. She was very beautiful.

This limited edition Ferrari had attracted the gazes of countless passersby on the road and finally arrived at Nanjing Road in Donghai City.

They made a small detour to find a parking lot, then Hao Ren accompanied Zhao Yanzǐ to the pedestrian street.

Walking beside Zhao Yanzǐ, Hao Ren felt that the chances of young men and women around them looking back at him were quite high too.

Zhao Yanzǐ in her second year of junior high looked like a very pretty next-door sister. Her lively eyes and flawless face greatly increased her回頭率 (turnaround rate).

Especially when she wore fashionable thin knitted clothes, the curves of her body were lively yet delicate. Although it couldn't be described as sexy, it definitely caught boys' attention.

Not less than five or six so-called "Yan Explorers" ran over to invite Zhao Yanzǐ to film movies or advertisements; all were stopped by Hao Ren.

Some street photographers also aimed their cameras at Zhao Yanzǐ, whether openly or secretly, far or near. All of these were keenly captured by Hao Ren's sharp eyes.

However, as long as it didn't have a negative impact on Zhao Yanzǐ, let them take photos if they want to. If Zhao Yanzǐ's photos could get into the fashion magazine's color pages and satisfy her vanity a little bit, then that would be fine too.

Since it was weekend, there were many young men and women out shopping in groups. Among them, handsome boys and beautiful girls weren't few either. But no matter who they were, none of them looked as compatible with Zhao Yanzǐ and Hao Ren did.

Hao Ren wore a clean short-sleeved shirt and ordinary casual jeans. Walking beside Zhao Yanzǐ, he was more than one head taller than her.

He didn't know that those photography reporters not only took photos of Zhao Yanzǐ but also some of him.

Reaching the Shaking Level realm cultivated a kind of serene aura that would involuntarily emanate, and this was seen by professional fashion photographers as "laid-back" created through simple clothing combinations. This kind of feeling couldn't be expressed even on the catwalk by models.

Naturally, for young people out shopping, what attracted them more was Zhao Yanzǐ who looked like a star in her beauty. Hao Ren seemed decent but wasn't that kind of dazzlingly handsome man.

However, there was an inexplicable beauty when Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzǐ walked together. This scene made those young couples in love feel shaken as they saw them coming their way and felt envious right after.

Zhao Yanzǐ also sensed that the gazes around them were many. She originally just walked shoulder to shoulder with him, but she gradually drew closer to Hao Ren, hesitated for a few seconds, then gently held onto his arm.

Hao Ren trembled slightly and looked at her in surprise.

Zhao Yanzǐ pulled him to walk a few steps further until Hao Ren followed her pace. Then she tilted her head up and glanced at Hao Ren, "Uncle, don't act anymore. I know you're very pleased inside."

With Zhao Yanzǐ holding onto him, Hao Ren turned his head to look at her, finally unable to resist smiling with the wolf revealed.

The number of main text characters in this chapter, Zhang hasn't had time to go online and chat with everyone recently. The classmates in the group have seenin puzzlement. Suddenly, she felt that Hao Ren was unfathomable. She had trained since childhood and had a solid foundation, but when she saw how powerful each of Hao Ren’s punches and kicks were, she...
