Chapter 200 Path?
The young man looked around in the lab and said, "Xiao Mei, come here." Explore stories on empire
The two stood in the center of the room and the young man waved his hand. Xiao Mei opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Boss, how did you..."
Hao Ren saw ten points appearing on the hologram window before him. Xiao Mei quickly dashed to the side and looking at a computer screen she said, "Indeed, for a second I thought that my sensors were malfunctioning. Boss, what did you do? The intensity of that gust was simply beyond human capabilities."
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "If I told you that in this world, there exist people that have exceeded the limits of a human body, would you believe me?"
Xiao Mei nodded and said, "I will because I have seen such people. They vanish so quickly that even with the strongest detection technology in the world, I can not spot them."
Han Lingshi nodded as she said, "Producing a gust with the motion is not a big deal."
Xiao Mei was surprised and then she saw Hao Ren teleport around in the big room at a speed that her cameras could not focus at. She opened her mouth wide at the display and shook her head, "Boss, are you one of those super humans as well?"
Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "I have no idea what their level is. If you ask me, I would say that I have only managed to touch the surface of that power."
Xiao Mei nodded solemnly, and Hao Ren kept showing her the things that he could do and gained surprise point. However, as he continued, the degree of surprise dropped significantly. After showing ten different tricks, he managed to get only seventy-five points.
After him, Han Lingshi also showed, Xiao Mei the things that she could do. While Hao Ren did not receive any points for this, but he was very sure as of what was going on here.
When the demonstration finished, Xiao Mei was led out of the house, and they went to the Han Mansion. The seven days deadline would be up tomorrow morning. Hao Ren did not show it to anyone but he was anticipating the feeling of being trained by his mother.
Ever since he was a child he wanted to spend time with Tang Zen and this time he would get the chance to. He knew that his parents kept him in the dark in the past, and thus he did not forgive them, but as a human with emotions, he still craves it.
The vehicle entered the premise, and Han Lingshi took the lead to make an introduction. Then the people settled in and after mid-night, Hao Ren received a notification, *Ding: Host, you gained seventy five out of hundred points. You gain a spirit resonance voucher. You can scratch the voucher in a location rich in spiritual energy and you will gain a reward accordingly.*
Hao Ren was surprised but then he asked, 'What is the validation on this voucher?'
*Ding: One year.*
Hao Ren did not mind, he would be going to the spirit shimmer continent soon, he would find a chance to use the voucher over there.
The young man took a deep breath went to cultivate. In the Han Mansion, the people had forgotten that night was the time to sleep. They cultivated inside their rooms.
During the night, Hao Ren realized that he could not improve his cultivation at all as the spiritual energy was scarce. He was sitting very close to Han Lingshi so if he were to cultivate, he would extract more energy because of his higher realm.
He sighed, "There is no grass under the shades of big trees."
A minute later, he came out to lay on a recliner in the balcony as he gazed up at the sky. The clouds parted and Hao Ren spotted the moon peeking down at the world. As the rays of moonlight fell on his body, Yin crawled out of his sleeve and slithered on his chest. Looking at the tiny gentle looking snake, Hao Ren smiled and caressed her head gently.
The snake seemed to have liked his actions as she reciprocated by rubbing her head against his fingers as well. After a few moments, Yin lay under the moonlight and her body began to glow. Hao Ren was surprised but then he recalled how the elders told them that the beasts can absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
Hao Ren wondered if humans could do it as well. However, he was not yet strong enough to find answers to these questions. He closed his eyes and fell asleep gradually.
...
The next morning, Hao Ren woke up in accordance to his bio-clock. He found Yin had returned to rest inside the sleeve. After a few minutes, the young man got up to hit the gym and finished his routine. However, he left Yin outside the washroom when he was bathing, because he was afraid that she might enter any of the drains.
He came out of the room and entered the dining room to find that only Tang Zen was present there. He asked, "Where did Lingshi and the rest of them go?"
Tang Zen put her cup of tea on the table and said, "They took her to the office, she will learn to cultivate while working. That is her training. In the evening she will learn how to fight with your father and the rest."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Why are we both being trained differently?"
Tang Zen said, "That is because you both have different paths. Her path is chosen by fate. She is going to strive and take back her kingdom, avenge her ancestors and family members who fell to ensure their survival. This is why she must become apt at all the things that a Queen needs to know and do."
Hao Ren nodded and did not interrupt her. Tang Zen saw this and said, "Your path is for you to decide. However, since you are her husband, unless you decide to forgo of the relationship, you would need to strive ahead with her. I want to ask you, what do you want to do?"
