17 Specializes in Bullying Our Combat Faculty? (2/2)
However, Wang Baole felt that it was insufficient. Therefore, he kept adjusting the settings until the surrounding four walls started glowing red. Although his lips were parched, even to the point of feeling like his organs were about to be cooked to a crisp, he was delighted to realize that his spirit fat was gradually breaking up when the heat passed through his sweat pores.
Praise the heavens! Wang Baole instantly became excited. He quickly maintained the heat and closed his eyes, withstanding the torturous feeling of having his spirit fat melt.
Although the temperature was high to the point of feeling like he was almost evaporating from it, he put up with it while clenching his teeth in excitement once he noticed his fat decreasing.
Two hours passed, and Wang Baole was still enduring the grueling heat. It continued for four hours, six hours… until it was bright outside.
The Combat faculty's Lava Chamber had no lack of students visiting it. Every morning, there would always be people lining up to enter. People were waiting at the moment, not feeling any sense of urgency since there were more than a hundred rooms. Those who entered would usually exit in less than two hours.
Soon after, there were people entering and people exiting. The people who were waiting would chat with each other to kill the time. They would also occasionally look at the lights on the display board. When one of them went off, it meant that a person had come out.
Time slowly went from dawn to noon before it turned to dusk. Batches of students entered and exited, but at that moment, a keenly observant student who had been waiting for a long while noticed an abnormality.
”Strange, Room 39's light seems to have… never gone off. Have any of you seen it go off?”
He was only asking the students beside him out of curiosity, but gradually, when everyone carefully searched through their memories, they seemed to realize that none of them had seen the light go off. All the students outside the Lava Chamber were immediately alarmed.
They spent another two hours watching it, and when they realized that Room 39's light remained lit, the shock they felt was hardly describable.
”Guys, look at Room 39. Heavens, we have already been observing it for four hours. It has never gone off at all. I recall that it was lit even in the day!”
”Did that actually happen?”
”Are you guys seeing things? How is it possible. The one with the longest record is Zhuo Yifan. All he managed was six hours.”
As the crowd discussed, this rare phenomenon immediately piqued their curiosity. Therefore, the crowd decided against cultivating that day and instead sat outside the Lava Chamber to observe.
They slowly turned short of breath as their eyes gradually widened.
After several hours, when it was late in the night, the number of students outside the Lava Chamber kept growing. There were nearly a hundred students with mouths all agape in shock as if they had seen a ghost. There were constant discussions with many sending voice transmissions to their friends. This matter also broke out on the Spirit Intranet.
”A godly person has appeared in the Combat faculty's Lava Chamber!”
”According to estimates, the person in Room 39 of the Combat faculty's Lava Chamber has lasted more than twenty hours!”
”A record has been broken. It has completely broken Zhuo Yifan's record!”
The thread on the Spirit Intranet instantly gained attention across the entire Lower Academy Island. It drew gasps when the students from all the faculties saw it. The Lava Chamber was famous, and there was only one person in history who had spent more than twenty hours in there!
If the light to Room 39 extinguished at that moment, it would have been fine, for it made sense. However, while countless people on the Lower Academy Island were paying attention to this matter, the light continued staying lit until dawn!
This caused an uproar throughout the Lower Academy Island. This even caught the attention of the teachers. No one entered the Lava Chamber anymore. Everyone stood outside, staring at Room 39's indicator light that remained lit.
”Heavens, it's almost two days.”
”He's about to challenge the previous Federation President's record!”
”Who is he? I will offer ten Spirit Stones for any clues. Once confirmed, it will be given out!”
Be it in the actual world or on the Spirit Intranet, there were all sorts of discussions happening. Finally, the few students of the Combat faculty who had been outside the Lava Chamber two nights ago posted a notice on the Spirit Intranet!
”The person in the Lava Chamber's Room 39 is… Wang Baole from the Dharmic Armament faculty!”
”I can swear that I saw him roll in there quickly while dressed in his specially-recruited student robes!”
The moment that was said, the other faculties did not react much to it and only felt skepticism. However, there was an uproar among the students of the Combat faculty who had been dealt a blow by Wang Baole, especially Zhuo Yifan and his friends. They were burning with rage as they stormed straight for the Lava Chamber.
”Darn Fatty Wang. You didn't go to the Beast Taming faculty's Mt. Scenic Cloud, the Array Runes faculty's Eight Treasures Chart, or the Traps faculty's Frost Ice Tower, but targeted our Combat faculty. Are you bullying us from the Combat faculty?”
From their point of view, this new action by Wang Baole was a sequel to the running and weight-lifting provocations!
