4 Ethereal Dao College (2/2)
”Bear, eat me! As long as I, Wang Baole, am alive, I will absolutely not allow you to harm my schoolmates!” Wang Baole roared. The escaping students once again felt so touched that words could not describe it. Many of the girls even wept for him.
Inside the cruiser's main hull, the old physician sneered when he saw the gigantic bear's massive body charge at Wang Baole, about to rip him apart alive.
”See that? The excitement in the punk's eyes. Have you ever seen anyone with such an expression while at death's doorstep? It's as though he's afraid he won't die.”
The other teachers all had strange expressions when they looked at Wang Baole. Wang Baole really looked heroic if they looked at him normally, but if they observed him with suspicion, the flaws in his act became apparent.
”This punk is way too shameless!”
”It would have been fine if he cheated, but he is acting way too out of line!”
The teachers in the main hull could not bear to continue watching. As for Goatee, he was clenching his teeth, feeling deep regret as his heart seemed to bleed. He was just short of beating his chest and stamping his feet.
”Heavens, my mandate!”
Finally, the old physician waved his right hand once again. Immediately, every image in the crystal shattered and dissipated.
”Alright, we will be landing in the Dao College soon. That's the end of the test!”
The final scene Wang Baole saw was the moment the Hallucination Nexus collapsed. The gigantic bear had covered the sky, and following that, it turned turbid along with the world, before turning completely black.
When he regained consciousness again, he felt his body jolt. It felt like a force was pushing him forward. He opened his eyes, realizing that he was back in the cruiser's Spirit Cultivation Chamber. He even heard the exclamations of the people around him.
”This… Weren't we in the Pond Cloud Rainforest? Why are we here?”
”Was I dreaming or were all of us dreaming?”
Wang Baole blinked as he immediately feigned a blank look as he screamed!
”Quickly leave, all of you. Don't bother about me. Bear, I'll fight it out with you!”
His voice was just too loud. Due to his act of courage in the nexus, it was difficult not to win the attention of others. He immediately attracted many looks when he shouted. The students around him were even more agitated.
”It's Brother Wang Baole!”
”What a great pal!”
”Wang Baole, you are the boss from now on!”
Du Min and Bunny were looking at him too. Having survived the calamity, the way they looked at Wang Baole was no longer the same, especially Bunny, whose eyes were brimming with tears. If she was not wearing the Magnetic Spirit attire and sitting a distance away, she might have leaped into his arms.
All of this left Wang Baole extremely pleased with himself. Just as he considered how he should receive the adoration of everyone, he heard a stern voice reverberate throughout the Spirit Cultivation Chamber.
”All students, we have arrived above the Dao College. Everything that just happened was part of our Ethereal Dao College's freshman test. Your results will contribute to your overall grade… Finally, I would like to welcome you to Ethereal Dao College!”
Perhaps the stern voice managed to calm their hearts or perhaps it was the fact that they were close to the Dao College, but all the students inside the Spirit Cultivation Chamber collected themselves and psyched themselves up as they turned to look outside the windows.
Although Wang Baole felt a little wistful, he could not conceal his feelings of anticipation. When he looked down at the ground beneath him through a window, he immediately saw a massive lake. The lake looked like a mirror that paved the ground. It was extremely beautiful as it reflected the colors in the sky.
There were three islands in the lake aligned parallel to one another. There were many boats sailing between the islands. As they approached, one could even see buildings with an air of antiquity on the islands as well as numerous people.
In the periphery of the islands, it looked like there were tens of thousands of people, constituting a tiny city.
”Our Ethereal Dao College is a renowned college that was established in A.D. 2348. It experienced the Federation Era and participated in the battle of the beasts. It also ushered in the Spirit Inception Era and changed its teachings to the Dao. It has more than seven centuries of history and has nurtured countless elites and heroes. It has contributed significantly to the progress of mankind. Even the previous Federation President graduated from Ethereal Dao College.
”The lake you see is called the Green Forest Lake. As the saying goes, years as a green forest pass by happily, the happiness within matches that of a youth!
”As for the three islands, they are the Heaven Traversal Island, core to the Dao College, the Upper Academy Island for Dao disciples, and the Lower Academy Island for students like you. Of those who inherit our Ethereal Dao College's legacy, there is the guiding principle to change the world and bring world peace!”
The stern voice resounded in the Spirit Cultivation Chamber. It was filled with pride as it spread through the hearts of everyone. Everyone, including Wang Baole, could not help but feel stirred by Ethereal Dao College's presence and heritage.
As the Lower Academy Island beneath them rapidly increased in size, they could see more than ten towering mountain peaks on the biggest mountains. They looked like sharp swords that aimed for the skies.
Every mountain peak had countless buildings. There were huge words on them, which were especially clear, even when seen from the sky.
Dharmic Armament Faculty, Alchemy Faculty, Combat Faculty, Array Runes Faculty…
Before they were able to take note of everything, they felt a sudden jerk following a great boom. The cruiser had traversed five thousand kilometers from Phoenix City to land straight in the Lower Academy Island of Ethereal Dao College!
They had arrived at Ethereal Dao College!
