  (Favorites and recommendations are rising, thank you everyone for your support! Especially to the few classmates who tipped, I'm really grateful. Hope everyone can leave more comments in the review area, if there could be a few more recommendation votes, that would be even better~~)

  Hao Ren hastily dodged and grabbed her slender hand. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzi still had a follow-up move, another punch came towards Hao Ren's stomach, hitting his abdomen with great force.

  She withdrew her arm again and glared at Hao Ren fiercely.

  Knock, knock, knock... The sound of knocking on the door started. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi both turned their heads towards the entrance. Zhao Guang pushed open the door and entered.

  "How's your tutoring going?" he asked as he walked over.

  "Oh, it's alright." Hao Ren rubbed his belly and replied.

  Zhao Yan's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't dare to speak.

  "A Zi's English is very poor. Originally, I wanted to find a tutor for her, but she refused, so I'm bothering you to give her some extra lessons." Zhao Guang said to Hao Ren.

  "Hmm, she's quite diligent," Hao Ren said.

  Zhao Yanzi glanced at Hao Ren, and unexpectedly, he spoke up for her.

  "This girl is just playful, actually very clever, but doesn't pay attention." Zhao Guang bluntly exposed Hao Ren's lie.

  "Dad..." Zhao Yanzi lost face again and couldn't help but call out.

  Zhao Guang ignored Zhao Yanzi's shouting and looked at Hao Ren again, "How is the Condensing Mind Technique that Lu Zhanglao gave you?"

  "It seems like there's no progress." Hao Ren replied.

  "Come slowly." He beckoned to Hao Ren, "Follow me over here."

  He led Hao Ren up a secluded staircase to the top floor, entering a small attic. Zhao Yanzi felt curious and followed them over.

  "This is Zhao Yanzi's mother's study at home, but she usually doesn't use it at night. After you finish tutoring Ziyu with her homework, you can come here to meditate and cultivate." said Zhao Guang.

  Hao Ren looked around the room, this less than ten square meters of studio, but decorated very elegant and quiet, not a bit cramped. The inclined triangular bookshelf made full use of the space, on which were neatly arranged various design-related professional books, most of which were foreign languages.

  On the other side, there is a flat table with various drawing tools placed on it, which are obviously used for designing. The green chair, like a grass stack, adds some artistic atmosphere to this small attic.

  Through a small window here, you can see the deep courtyard behind, with lush greenery and a unique charm.

  "Dad, you're really biased. I'm usually not allowed to enter this workshop, why are you letting him practice here?" Zhao Yanzi said with a sour tone.

  "Otherwise, you're doing homework here and he's practicing in your room?" Zhao Guang asked her.

  "No way!" Zhao Yanzi shook her head like a rattle drum.

  "That's it, go and do your homework!" Zhao Guang chased her down.

  Zhao Yanzi reluctantly left, and Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren again. "Condensing the spirit is actually divided into three layers. The first layer is to communicate with heaven and earth, feel the natural energy between heaven and earth, and also purify your body. The second layer is to guide the energy into the body, this process is slow, but it really strengthens your body. The third layer is to release the energy outside the body, only after going through this layer can you practice various skills after cultivation."

  Hao Ren looked at Zhao Guang, listening and silently memorizing, finally understanding that Zhao Guang was going to personally guide him in his cultivation.

  "This first layer, communicating with heaven and earth, also has its skills..." Zhao Guang explained in detail to Hao Ren.

  He, as the "Dragon King", patiently explained these most basic things to Hao Ren. If those elders were to see this, they would definitely be shocked. However, Hao Ren didn't have a special concept of Zhao Guang's identity and only felt slightly moved that he took time out of his busy schedule to explain these things to him.

  Zhao Guang's guidance was profound and easy to understand, allowing Hao Ren to gain a lot of insight. Things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear. Indeed, it's really difficult to figure out such things just by thinking about them on your own.

  Hao Ren finally understood that Zhao Yan would face a great danger three years later, and he would also take corresponding risks during these three years.

  Swallowing the Dragon Dan is a very dangerous move, if he doesn't cultivate the dragon clan's skills to reconcile and suppress it, his body will eventually be burst by the increasingly powerful energy of the Dragon Dan.

  According to Zhao Guang, Long Dan was born with the innate ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it a treasure among heaven and earth. As the dragon clan is born with Long Dan within their bodies, they naturally become a special and powerful tribe in the world.

  Time flies by every minute and second, and before I knew it, it was already 9:30.

  "Uncle, I should be heading back soon, our dormitory closes at 10 pm." Hao Ren said hastily after noticing the time.

  "Alright, I still have the second half, I'll tell you tomorrow." Zhao Guang led Hao Ren out of the top floor studio.

  "Well, I'll just head back for today then." Hao Ren said with as much humility and politeness as he could muster. To be honest, Zhao Guang had come back from overtime today and taken out so much time to instruct him thoroughly, and Hao Ren was actually a bit moved by this.

  "I'll send you back." Zhao Guang said in a tone that did not allow for refusal.

  Hao Ren initially wanted to refuse, but thought Zhao Guang had something to say to him, so he nodded in agreement. He and Zhao Hongyu were in a relationship as son-in-law and mother-in-law, which was relatively close-knit. And he and Zhao Guang were in a relationship as son-in-law and father-in-law. Especially as son-in-law and father-in-law, there should be many things to hand over, right?

  Zhao Guang took Hao Ren out of the house and drove the car out. It was a low-key black Chevrolet.

  Hao Ren quietly got on the bus and waited for Zhao Guang to speak up as the vehicle started moving.

  However, Zhao Guang drove the car steadily all the way without saying a word. Hao Ren had many questions in his mind, but seeing Zhao Guang's somewhat chilly demeanor, he didn't dare ask either.

  Zhao Guang sent Hao Ren to the entrance of the dormitory area, which happened to be 9:45. Seeing Zhao Guang's familiarity with the school's roads, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Mingri Group was not the largest educational investor in Donghai University? The gymnasium, library, and the newly built building of the Film Academy in the school were all donated by them?

  "Come over tomorrow at the usual time, and I'll help Zi with her homework after dinner." Zhao Guang said as he sent Hao Ren to his dormitory door.

  "Alright, thank you, Uncle," Hao Ren said as he walked out of the car.

  Zhao Guang nodded and drove away.

  From start to finish, this was all the conversation between the son-in-law and his father-in-law.

  Hao Ren walked into the dormitory building, and as soon as he returned to the third floor, he was surrounded by Zhao Jiaxin and others. "Little guy! Now you have a car to pick you up and drop you off everywhere, did you find a rich woman to support you?"

  "She had just finished her tutoring session and her father sent me back." Hao Ren replied truthfully.

  "Why haven't I met a rich woman like this? She's beautiful and wealthy..." Zhou Liren exclaimed in regret.

  If he were to tell them that he was not only tutoring the young rich woman, but also had a fiancée, he wondered what kind of commotion they would make... Hao Ren thought to himself.

  Shaking off their entanglement, Hao Ren climbed onto his own bed to read a book.

  "Hao Ren's peach blossom luck has been non-stop lately, first he was tutoring a young beauty, then Su Han called him to the office, even class monitor Xie Yu Jia has been paying close attention to Hao Ren..."

  Seeing Hao Ren's nonchalant expression, Zhao Jiaxin, Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua started discussing among themselves, as if they had never noticed before that Hao Ren actually had such charm.

  Hao Ren held a book, seemingly reading, but actually adjusting his mind. According to Zhao Guang's words, the weak flow of energy in his body flowed from Baihui to Shenting, then passed through Taiyang, Ermen, Qingming, Renzhong, Yamen, Fengchi, and Renying, expanding to Zanzhong, Jugu, Qihai, Zhangmen, and finally emerging from Yongquan on the soles of his feet before circling back to the center of his body.

  And in Hao Rendan's Dantian, that inner Dan was slightly vibrating with such a cycle.

  With a "bang", Hao Ren's forehead seemed to have been knocked, and his body from top to bottom felt as if it had been opened up.

  Right after that, Hao Ren felt a powerful aura from the heavens and earth rushing into his body, lingering for a moment before dispersing out of his hundreds of acupoints.

  His whole being suddenly became light and airy, the originally difficult to perceive heavenly and earthly auras were actually permeating all around his body, while his body was like a transparent sieve, unable to retain any of the natural aura of heaven and earth, yet also not forming any obstructions.

  This feeling is even more refreshing than swallowing 100 strong mint candies.

  Hao Ren carefully savored this feeling of relaxation throughout his body, and he really hadn't expected breaking through the first layer of the "Condensing Spirit Technique" to be so simple.
