Sword Shadow had completed two rounds—Su Han walked into the dining hall with keys in hand."Let's go!" She came over to Hao Ren and tossed the key at him.Hao Ren reached out to catch it, but realized...Chapter 54 Uh, Expert...
A big thank you to the patrons who sponsored yesterday: Nurse Bro (788), Little Pig's Buttocks (588), Untitled.

Nurse Bro and Little Pig's Buttocks are regular sponsors, always giving such generous amounts. Xiaolong doesn't know what else to say about it anymore. Moreover, there are many new names appearing on this list too, indicating that a lot of new readers have started reading 'Dragon Son-in-Law'.
Unable to sleep in the morning, I compiled yesterday's sponsors and wrote another chapter, even though it was Saturday, I still released it at 7 o'clock as usual. While my nose was running, typing away, the doctor advised me to rest properly, while my dad and mom said that I must rest over weekends. So Xiaolong thought and thought, decided to update once a day this weekend...
Maybe you guys find it fake, but Xiaolong truly feels really guilty... Especially with so many sponsors supporting him...
Sigh, but don't worry, even if I'm lying in bed, I'll still be thinking of plotlines.
——
In the incense burner filled with fragrant scent, smoke was gently rising. The entire office was quiet as a pin could be heard when it dropped.
Su Han had already entered a state of meditation; the blue smoke from the incense burner passed in front of her and then slowly dispersed without any fluctuations, seemingly even her breathing had stopped. Her closed eyes did not even flicker slightly at the lashes.
Hao Ren quietly observed this beautiful woman who looked like she was photoshopped out of a video game trailer. He suddenly realized that Su Han's abilities were extensive; although she kept her eyes shut, she would know Hao Ren was looking at her, so he quickly calmed himself and silently recited the Concentration Formula’s first chapter three times before closing his own eyes to contemplate the second part of the formula.
The second part naturally corresponded with the second level of the Concentration Formula. When Lu Qing passed on his cultivation methods to Hao Ren, he didn't expect that Hao Ren would break through so quickly and was afraid Hao Ren would be in too much of a hurry, so he only taught him the first chapter of the formula initially. Afterward, as Lu Qing had many affairs to handle, occasionally glancing at Hao Ren's progress every now and then but intended to check on his cultivation advancement after a month.
But he didn't expect Zhao Guang personally guiding Hao Ren in cultivation; while Hao Ren’s talent exceeded his expectations, this made him break through the first level without having been taught the second chapter of the formula, leaving him in the dark. On the other hand, Zhao Guang thought that such basic formulas like Concentration Formula were all passed down to Hao Ren by Lu Qing and thus did not teach him the second chapter but instead imparted some insights and understandings.
This was akin to not giving a student textbooks and asking them to attend classes. The knowledge points this student grasps are derived through exercises, lacking systematic organization. Even so, they still managed to score high marks, proving that the child is indeed smart.
Hao Ren immersed himself in the second chapter of Concentration Formula, gradually entering a state of self-forgetfulness.
The clock on the wall silently pointed towards six o'clock; feeling it was about time, Su Han prepared to open her eyes and send Hao Ren back. Suddenly, she sensed something amiss.
A large expanse of white clouds gathered at the top of F building where they were, forming a spectacular giant whirlwind!
The nearby five elements violently expanded! Even Su Han's soundproofing magic array added to her office showed signs of instability!
Strong enemies had come to attack! Upon opening her eyes, Su Han’s gaze was intense. She spread out her palms, and a green precious sword appeared in her hand instantly!
She was just about to stand up and go into the air when suddenly this strange disturbance vanished again! Up on their rooftop, or rather throughout the entire campus, the originally spectacular giant whirlwind clouds dispersed suddenly!
At that moment, Hao Ren who had been sitting across from her behind a desk slowly opened his eyes, somewhat embarrassedly saying, "Ms. Su, I seem to have broken through."
"Hm" Still not fully comprehending the situation, Su Han stared blankly at him.
Only after she had retracted the green precious sword in her hand and grabbed Hao Ren’s arm did she slightly feel that there was actually some part of the Heaven and Earth energy inside Hao Ren's originally empty body!
She let out a sigh of relief, letting go of Hao Ren’s wrist. She looked somewhat surprised and blushed.
The blush wasn’t because she had held onto Hao Ren’s arm and felt shy about it; rather, it was because she, a grandmaster-level expert, almost lost her composure and failed to maintain the poise expected of an expert.
Fortunately, Su Han knew that Hao Ren hadn't seen her panic, so her mind calmed down somewhat.
At this moment, Lu Qing hurriedly barged in through the door, "Miss Su! Did you feel any strange phenomena in the sky just now!"
Su Han sat upright and turned around to say calmly, "Grandmaster Lu needn’t be alarmed. It’s merely Hao Ren breaking through the second layer of the Spirit Concentration Art!"
"Ah Oh…" Lu Qing’s face changed from awkwardness to shock to calmness then joy in quick succession. "Hao Young Master has broken through to the second layer!"
"Yes, he was just meditating here when he broke through," Su Han replied calmly as usual with her cold demeanor.
“Miss Su truly is an expert! With your guidance, Hao Young Master managed to break through to the second layer so quickly!” Lu Qing stood at the door and sincerely praised. He also admired Su Han inwardly for being a true master who remained calm in a crisis, unlike himself who had lost his composure as a grandmaster and rushed over worriedly only to be laughed at by Su Han.
"It's nothing." Su Han remained calm and indifferent.
"Then I won't disturb Miss Su's practice. I thought something had happened and barged in, my apologies..." Lu Qing's face turned bright red with self-reproach as he backed out of Su Han’s office.
Su Han watched Lu Qing leave, her hidden blush gradually fading away. So even Lu Qing got caught up in it, I'm not the only one feeling awkward then. Still, my composure isn't quite there yet...
Haoren watched as Lu Qing rushed in and left after a series of apologies, completely baffled. He asked, "Sis Su, what happened"
"Don’t call me Sis Su, just call me Su Han," said Su Han icily.
Haoren got a frosty reception and changed his wording, "Su Han, what happened just now"
He felt it was odd to just call her by her name. But then again, with their dragon clan's lifespans stretching into the hundreds of years, being two or three years apart wasn't much of a difference.
"You broke through to the second level of the Concentration Formula and caused some minor celestial phenomena; Lu Qing thought something was up and came over to check," Su Han explained nonchalantly.
"Oh..." Haoren looked at his watch. "Time's about right, I have a class tonight so I'll be off now. If I'm free tomorrow, I’ll come back here for practice."
“Fine,” Su Han nodded indifferently.
Watching Haoren leave the office, Su Han looked at his retreating figure and thought to herself: This kid's climbing up the ranks too fast...
Even though she hadn't expected him to break through so quickly, her reaction was still a bit over-the-top. I need to work on my composure...
Su Han flicked her hand and raised another soundproofing formation before closing her eyes and resuming her practice…
Haoren hurriedly rushed with his book to the lecture hall in Building C, where class was about to begin.
"Ren!" Zhao Jiayin waved from the back row.
Hao Ren hurried over and found that the three of them had already taken their seats, reserving one for him.
"Where were you just now We played 3C and absolutely crushed Yu Rong's dorm team!" Zhou Liren excitedly told Hao Ren.
"I went outside to take care of some things and didn't even get a chance to eat dinner," Hao Ren said.
"There was a whirlwind cloud above the school just now, about as big as the basketball court. Did you see it" Zhao Jiayin asked Hao Ren.
"Ah I didn't notice it. Is it gone now" Hao Ren asked.
"It only lasted for a few seconds before dissipating. There wasn’t even time to take out my phone and take a picture. On the way here, Liang Ronghua and I both saw it," Zhao Jiayin said.
Hao Ren wanted to ask more details but class roll call began. Because there were over a hundred people in the lecture hall, everyone couldn't be called out individually, so only random students were called. The teacher was also very tricky; every time he would pick nearby classmates for roll call, meaning if Hao Ren was called, Zhao Jiayin, Zhou Liren, and Cao Ronghua would definitely also be called. Swapping places and having Zhao Jiayin answer "present" on Hao Ren's behalf wouldn't work.
Today, Hao Ren had lucked out; out of a few hundred people, the first one to be called was him. Sure enough, Zhao Jiayin, Cao Ronghua, and Zhou Liren were subsequently called as well.
"Good thing I didn't come in vain. And now that I've been called once, I probably won't get called next time. Next time I can skip," Zhao Jiayin said to himself after raising his hand to answer "present."
"Hao Ren, it looks like a lot of girls are looking back at you," Cao Ronghua, who had also been called out, leaned close to Hao Ren and whispered.
Hao Ren looked up front and indeed saw many people turning around to look at him.
Could it be because the teacher called my name
He strained his ears and gradually heard some murmurs: He's Hao Ren... Oh, he's the one who beat Huang Xujie in the sports meet... Seems like he has some connection with Su Han... Did you know Huang Xujie challenged him to a duel on the playground today at eight...
Seeing more and more gazes shooting back from the front, Hao Ren felt somewhat uneasy.nted; before coming here, he had planned on visiting Normal University to look at girls, Fine Arts College to see some beauties, and Music College as well. However, last night they were playing Mahjon...
