Lu Qi looked back and saw that the speaker was Xu Ke, whom he had sent people to follow.
Hao Ren turned his head and saw Xu Ke behind him, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't sense Xu Ke's nature essence at all, so he didn't know that Xu Ke was in the crowd behind him.
If they were in the wild, Xu Ke could hide and kill Hao Ren with one strike.
"I'm going back." Zhao Yanzi pulled Hao Ren.
"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Hao Ren asked her.
"I can go back by myself. It's not like I don't know him." Zhao Yanzi curled her lips. She was a little annoyed at the thought of the simulation test this afternoon.
"I have a bicycle. I'll give you a ride," Xie Yujia pushed her bicycle and said immediately.
She knew from Hao Ren that Xu Ke wasn't simple, so she asked Hao Ren to stay here and deal with him while she took Zhao Yanzi away to prevent her from getting involved.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia and nodded. "Ok."
She didn't know what was wrong with Xu Ke, and she didn't have to walk by herself if Xie Yujia gave her a ride.
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead as he watched them ride toward the school gate. "How come they are getting along so well?" he thought.
Wu Luoxue looked at the time and walked slowly toward the main gate of East Ocean University. Zhen Congming didn't have a sense of time and didn't study hard, but she still had to go back to class.
Seeing Wu Luoxue walking away slowly, Zhen Congming immediately chased after her.
LingZhao Elementary School's uniform was different from the blue and green sportswear of other elementary schools. It was a black and white dress, and the boys looked handsome in it while the girls looked cute in it.
Wu Luoxue walked slowly across the campus in LingZhao Elementary School's uniform, and the girls all thought that she was super cute like a doll.
"Sigh!" Hao Ren looked at them and suddenly thought, "Lady Zhen knows everything, so she must have known that Zhen Congming is pursuing Wu Luoxue. However, I don't know what kind of attitude she has toward Wu Luoxue …"
"Liu, test this student's Go skills," Lu Qi said to a member of the Go Club.
Xu Ke came out to challenge the Go Club to retaliate against Lu Qi for stalking him. However, Lu Qi was a calm person and wasn't afraid of Xu Ke at all.
Lu Qi was at Dui-level, and his chessboard dharma treasure was powerful. Among the young cultivators in East Ocean University, he was a master.
"Sure." Xu Ke walked over with a smile, picked up a chess piece, and put it on the board.
The club member who was in charge of recruiting thought for a while and decided to play chess with Xu Ke.
Hao Ren didn't expect Xu Ke, who liked sports, to know how to play chess. He wondered if the metal-elemental dragons also had chess skills.
According to Yue Zilong, the metal-elemental dragons were famous for their devilish cultivation. If a cultivator hadn't reached Kun-level, he wouldn't be a cultivator, and it didn't matter if he died.
Under such circumstances, the metal-elemental dragon cultivators were all cultivation maniacs like Su Han.
Lu Qi looked carefully and found that Xu Ke's chess pieces were placed randomly.
Pa!
Xu Ke put another chess piece on the board.
The club member who was playing with Xu Ke felt like Xu Ke's moves were messy and didn't know how to play chess. However, he had just been shocked by Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue, so he didn't dare to underestimate Xu Ke.
He carefully placed down a chess piece that was ready to respond.
Crack!
The smooth chessboard suddenly shattered.
The club member who had just put down his right hand froze in shock. Then, sweat appeared on his forehead.
This was Lu Qi's favorite authentic Nanzhu Chessboard, and it was his private collection. He took it out to show off during this recruitment activity, but he didn't expect it to shatter!
"President …" The club member looked at Lu Qi in fear, afraid that Lu Qi would get angry.
However, Lu Qi didn't look at him. Instead, he turned to look at Xu Ke and gritted his teeth. Xu Ke's strength wasn't as good as Hao Ren's, but he was one of the top cultivators in the younger generation, especially in the fire-elemental dragon clan. Since he majored in chessboard dharma treasures, he had a special feeling for chessboards and liked to play Go.
Xu Ke's behavior was obviously a response to Lu Qi's investigation on him.
"Senior, I'm sorry. I seem to have broken the chessboard." Seeing Lu Qi staring at him, Xu Ke asked anxiously.
He took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a few hundred yuan. "I'll compensate you. How much is it? 300 or 400 yuan?"
His expression and words were very sincere, making the students around him feel that this junior was too obedient. In the end, when the chess piece touched the chessboard, it wasn't him who touched it. Although Lu Qi was powerful, he shouldn't bully a freshman.
Lu Qi gritted his teeth again. The students around him didn't know that he had spent more than 50,000 yuan to buy this chessboard, and it was a very old antique. It wasn't something that could be bought with just one or two hundred yuan.
Especially for this kind of antique, it couldn't be measured with money. Lu Qi's heartache and anger couldn't be understood by the ordinary students. Only the members of the Go Club could understand Lu Qi's feelings at this moment.
"Forget it. It's okay," Lu Qi said with his eyes squinted.
Cultivators shouldn't care too much about treasures. Although Lu Qi liked this chessboard, it wasn't a dharma treasure after all. Even if it was broken, it wouldn't be a real loss.
However, Xu Ke's behavior made his relationship with Lu Qi very clear. The grudges between dragon cultivators were very simple. They just needed to find a corner with no one around, set up a red energy sphere, and beat each other up.
"Senior, I'm really sorry." Xu Ke still put 200 yuan on the broken chessboard before turning around and walking toward the Academic Building in a hurry.
The surrounding students all sighed in their hearts. This junior brother was too honest.
However, Hao Ren knew that Xu Ke was trying to intimidate Lu Qi. It looked like he was trying to intimidate Lu Qi, but he was actually trying to intimidate him.
However, since Xu Ke could intimidate Lu Qi, he could also attack Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi, which was the real danger for Hao Ren!
The metal-elemental dragon was a loner, and Xu Ke had the support of his master. As long as he got what he wanted, he wouldn't be afraid even if he had to hurt Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.
"I'm going to challenge Xu Ke tonight." Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Arrange a place for me."
"Ugh?" Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
Due to the small number of metal-elemental dragons, most dragon cultivators hadn't challenged metal-elemental dragons before. Lu Qi wasn't prepared for Hao Ren's sudden challenge.
However, he saw Hao Ren's determined expression and knew that Hao Ren wasn't joking. "Let's do it on the field. I know how to set up basic array formations."
"That's settled then." Hao Ren turned and picked up the broken chessboard. He felt the wood grain on the chessboard and injected pure wood-elemental nature essence into it.
Beside the table of the Go Club was a black bag that contained a chessboard. Lu Qi cherished this bamboo chessboard very much, and he usually kept it in the bag and didn't even want to take it out to use. Today, he took it out to let the chessboard bask in the sun so that the members of the Go Club could have some fun with it. However, Xu Ke broke it.
"Take the chessboard and put it away." Hao Ren put the chessboard into the black bag and handed it to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi opened the bag and looked down. He found that the broken chessboard had been restored to its original state!
Hao Ren's move was subtle, but it was very powerful! Wood-elemental cultivators were good at repairing broken dharma treasures and nourishing cultivators' meridians. However, Hao Ren was a water-elemental cultivator, and he had repaired the bamboo chessboard with ease!
Even wood-elemental cultivators might not be able to do this since it tested not only the precision of their nature essence but also the depth of their spiritual senses. However, Hao Ren had reconnected the tens of thousands of fibers in the chessboard with just a touch!
Powerful! Very powerful!
Lu Qi felt that Hao Ren was even more powerful than he was in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams!
He had been worried that Hao Ren would be at a disadvantage when he fought with metal-elemental cultivators, but now, he was full of anticipation! "Is the metal-elemental dragon clan as powerful as the legends say? Can Hao Ren who cultivates all five elements suppress metal-elemental dragons? "
Hao Ren walked past Lu Qi's Go Club and went to the other clubs in front of Green Hill Cafeteria.
Many clubs had to close their stalls due to the sudden storm yesterday. Since the weather was good today, all the clubs had set up their recruitment stalls.
When they saw Hao Ren walking over, they felt pressured.
He was the president of a big club that had 500 members in just half a day, and he had collected a membership fee of 250,000 yuan in just half a day!
Hao Ren glanced at the clubs and walked directly to the Rock-Climbing Club, which occupied the largest area.
Huang Xujie was reading a magazine on a folding chair, and he stood up immediately when he saw Hao Ren walking over. He smiled.
The arrogant members of the Rock-Climbing Club all showed respect to Hao Ren when he walked into their area.
"How's the background of Xu Ke?" Hao Ren asked Huang Xujie.
"I've checked! This kid used to be in Class 4 of City North First High School. His grades are pretty good, and he was on the long-distance running team. He didn't study in East Ocean, and his dorm building is 507 South Eighth Floor. His home address is 269 Guangyin Road in the West 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 Huang Xujie must have used his connections in the police station. However, it was good that he could get Xu Ke's home address. Before Huang Xujie could finish, Hao Ren took the piece of paper from his hand and looked at it before putting it into his wallet.
"I was about to call you. There's still some information that I didn't get. However, he should be living alone since his parents aren't in East Ocean City." Huang Xujie observed Hao Ren's expression. "Did he offend you? Should I … get some people to warn him? "
"It's none of your business. Stay out of it." Hao Ren glanced at him.
After getting Xu Ke's information from Huang Xujie in real life, Hao Ren didn't want to talk to Huang Xujie anymore.
"Yes, yes, Brother Hao is right." Huang Xujie nodded.
In fact, he had thought about getting a few members of the Rock-Climbing Club to drag this freshman Xu Ke to a corner and interrogate him. However, his instinct told him that this sunny Xu Ke wasn't as simple as he looked.
Ruff! Ruff!
Ruff! Little White jumped out from the grass behind the cafeteria and jumped onto the table in front of Huang Xujie. Then, it raised its butt and sprayed a stream of white liquid.
