Blue smoke floated from the incense burner, and the office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Su Han was meditating, and the blue smoke from the incense burner floated around her without being disturbed. She looked as if she had stopped breathing, and even her eyelashes were frozen still.
Stealthily, Hao Ren observed the beauty who looked like a photoshopped beauty in Online Gaming Commercial. It suddenly occurred to him that with her capabilities, she would know that he was looking at her even with her eyes closed. At this thought, he looked away in a hurry and silently recited the first chapter of the Spirit Concentration Scroll three times. After that, he closed his eyes and tried to understand the second chapter.
The second chapter corresponded with the second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll. When Lu Qing taught Hao Ren the cultivation technique, he didn't expect Hao Ren to break through the first level so soon. He was afraid that Hao Ren would rush through the process and thus had only taught him the first chapter. Later, Lu Qing was immersed in businesses and had planned to check up on Hao Ren's cultivation progress in one month.
However, he didn't know that Zhao Guang had personally given tips to Hao Ren, and Hao Ren's talent was better than he had thought. Therefore, Hao Ren had to stumble around without the second chapter of Spirit Concentration Scroll. On the other hand, Zhao Guang thought Lu Qing had taught Hao Ren the whole Spirit Concentration Scroll, a basic cultivation technique, so he didn't teach Hao Ren the second chapter either; he just gave Hao Ren some tips.
It was like you telling a student to go to class without giving him or her a textbook and the student had to learn all the concepts through the practices. Without a systematic understanding of the structure, only the super smart kids could get a good mark.
Immerged in the second chapter, Hao Ren gradually entered a meditation state and was oblivious to everything around him.
The clock on the wall showed 6 o'clock. Sensing that the time was up, Su Han was about to open her eyes and send Hao Ren back. Suddenly, something was wrong.
A massive pile of white clouds had accumulated above the top of the Academic Building F, and the clouds formed a tremendous and colossal vortex!
The five elements nearby began to move violently, and even the soundproof array formation she built around her office was unstable!
"A powerful enemy is here!" Su Han thought as she opened her glinting eyes. With a wave of her palm, a blue sword appeared in her hand.
She was about to stand up and leap up into the air when the weird fluctuations suddenly vanished. The large vortex of clouds that were above the building and the whole campus suddenly dispersed.
At this moment, Hao Ren, who was sitting across from Su Han, opened his eyes slowly and said shyly, "Sister Su, it seems that I have broken through the level."
"What?" Su Han stared at him blankly.
She put away the blue sword and grabbed Hao Ren's arm. She immediately sensed that Hao Ren's body contained a little nature essence; it was empty before.
Relieved, she let go of Hao Ren's hand with a bit of astonishment as she blushed.
She blushed not because she grabbed Hao Ren's arm but because she, a Heavenly-level master, had panicked.
Fortunately, she knew Hao Ren didn't see her panic, and the turmoil in her mind began to calm down.
At that moment, alarmed Lu Qing barged into the room. "Ms. Su! Did you see that?"
Su Han turned around and said lightly, "Don't panic, Elder Lu. It was just Hao Ren breaking through the second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll!"
"Oh…" Lu Qing's expression changed from being alarmed to embarrassment to calm and then to pleasantly surprised. "Mr. Hao broke through the second level?!"
"Yes. He was cultivating here, and he just broke through," Su Han said calmly, keeping her usual aloofness.
"Ms. Su is indeed a master of cultivation. Under your guidance, Mr. Hao has broken through the second level so fast!" Standing at the door, Lu Qing praised sincerely. Inside, he was amazed that Su Han was unfazed by the sudden change, and he was ashamed of himself for panicking and rushing to Su Han at the slightest movement.
"It was no big deal." Su Han sounded calm.
"Then I will leave you guys alone. I'm sorry that I barged in thinking something serious had happened…" embarrassed, Lu Qing kept berating himself as he backed out of Su Han's office.
After Lu Qing left, Su Han had also regained her composure. "Good. Lu Qing also panicked, and he shared my embarrassment. Anyway, I still have to work on my composure," she thought.
Seeing Lu Qing barging in and then backing out apologetically, Hao Ren was confused and asked, "Sister Su, what happened?"
"Don't call me Sister Su. Call me Su Han," Su Han said coldly.
Hao Ren obeyed her. "Su Han, what happened?" he asked.
He felt weird calling her by her full name. But on second thought, a difference of a couple of years in age was no big deal for the dragons who could live for hundreds of years.
"Your breakthrough of the second level caused a slight phenomenon in the sky. Lu Qing thought something happened and came here to check with me," Su Han dismissed the incident lightly.
"Oh…" Hao Ren looked up at the clock. "Time is almost up, and I've got to go since I have class tonight. If I have time tomorrow, I will come here to continue my cultivation," he said.
"Ok," Su Han nodded coldly.
Looking at Hao Ren who was walking out, Su Han thought, "This guy is such a quick learner."
"Although his breakthrough was unexpected, my startled reaction was uncalled for. I have to work harder on my composure…" she thought.
With a wave of her hand, the soundproof array formation was activated again. She closed her eyes and entered her cultivation state…
With books in his hand, Hao Ren hurried to the lecture hall in Academic Building C as class was just about to begin.
"Ren!" Zhao Jiayi, sitting in the last row, waved at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren hurried over and found that his three buddies had reserved a seat for him.
"Where have you been? We had a great time playing the 3C tactic! We completely destroyed those four guys in Yu Rong's dorm!" Zhou Liren told Hao Ren excitedly.
"I went out of the school for an errand and didn't have time to eat dinner," Hao Ren said.
"Did you see the vortex of clouds above the school? It was almost as big as the basketball court!" Zhao Jiayi asked Hao Ren.
"Really? I didn't see it. Is it still there?" Hao Ren asked.
"It lasted only a few seconds, and I didn't even have time to dig out my phone to take a picture. Cao Ronghua and I saw it when we were on our way to class," Zhao Jiayi said.
Before Hao Ren could ask more about it, roll call had begun. Since it was a big class of over 100 students, the teacher did it randomly. The teacher was quite cunning, and he would call out the names of those students who were close. For example, if he called Hao Ren's name, he would definitely call the names of Zhao Jiayi, Zhou Liren, and Cao Ronghua. In this case, it would be impossible for Zhao Jiayi and the other two to answer the call for Hao Ren if the latter was absent.
Today, Hao Ren was lucky since he was the first name to be called among the hundreds of students. As predicted, Zhao Jiayi, Cao Ronghua, and Zhou Liren's names were also called one after the other.
"Luckily we are all here! I guess we won't be called next time, so we can skip the next class," Zhao Jiayi said after raising his hand and shouted "here!"
"Ren, it seems like many girls are looking back at you," Cao Ronghua, whose name had also been called, leaned towards Hao Ren and whispered.
Hao Ren raised his head and looked forward. Indeed, many people were looking back at him.
"Is it because the teacher called my name?" he thought.
He listened carefully and overheard some glimpse of conversations, "So he is Hao Ren…Oh, he is the guy who outran Huang Xujie at the Athletic Games… He seems to be close to Su Han… Did you know that Huang Xujie has called him out for a fight tonight on the field… When… Eight o'clock tonight after this class…"
Hao Ren felt a little uncomfortable after seeing more and more glances cast toward him.
