44 Chancellors Lecture Hall (1/2)
Unknowingly, ten painful days passed.
During those ten days, the purging and persecution of the Spirit Stones students by Lin Tianhao and Cao Kun continued in the Dharmic Armament faculty. Even more people had been dragged in. However, because there were too many people and the disturbance was huge, a lot of time was needed to gather evidence. Therefore, all those people were only locked away for investigation and not seriously punished.
Everyone could see that it was only because it was a short period of time. Without any mishaps, those students would definitely be punished to different degrees.
As for Wang Baole, he did not leave the cave abode for ten days. At most, he would leave the hallucination realm to eat something before clenching his jaw and re-entering, trembling with sadness and anger.
Heavens, when will this end…
The moment Wang Baole thought of the fear of familiarizing himself with the system of calculations, he felt as though he had lost his loved one. But when he thought of his own responsibilities and goals, he could only grit his teeth and continue to bear the agony amid his screams.
Under the never-ending lightning strikes, Wang Baole's ability to calculate the formula increased dramatically. Although the lightning still hit him, causing him to scream in agony, the time needed for his calculations swiftly decreased.
As the lightning's power grew bigger and bigger, the feeling of pain forced Wang Baole into a frenzy, unleashing all of his potential. He was very worried that if he did not work hard, he would be shocked to death.
Now, as long as the Inscriptions arrangement was not too complicated, he could arrive at an answer within seconds. However, the mask was still not satisfied with that and gave Wang Baole a shorter time to calculate while increasing the number and difficulty of the Inscriptions.
As such, Wang Baole's screams became more wretched.
Ten more days passed, and Wang Baole's behavior became abnormal. He had already forgotten about the passage of time, and it was not until a voice transmission came from the Chancellor that he stopped his cultivation.
The reason the Head Prefects from the various faculties of Ethereal Dao College and Lower Academy Island were known as disciples of the Chancellor was because they would occasionally gather at the call of the Chancellor. The Chancellor would open the Chancellor's lecture hall and personally teach classes, answering and explaining questions that the Head Prefects would bring up. For these kinds of things, it was compulsory for Head Prefects to attend.
Throughout Lower Academy Island, it was only the Chancellor who could do this. He knew everything about the lessons and knowledge of the Lower Academy Island's faculties, and he had even done research on them, so he could mentor every Head Prefect and even invite the Upper Academy's cultivation masters to provide guidance for the Head Prefects.
At this moment, the voice transmission had summoned Wang Baole because of the initiation of the Chancellor's lecture.
Within the cave abode, Wang Baole walked out of the hallucination realm. His whole body had already been shocked countless times. He trembled as he walked. He was dispirited, his hair was disheveled, and his gaze was vacant. From time to time, even though he had exited the hallucination realm, one could still hear him talking to himself.
”To form the speed Inscriptions, one needs to match and calculate 731 types of basic Inscriptions, and to go through nine times of systemic deduction…”
”Condensing Spirit Qi Inscriptions, there are 3,185 ways, and the first method of systemic calculation is…”
Trapped in the stupor of calculating numerous systemic problems in his head, Wang Baole walked out of the cave abode, swaying. He spent most of his attention on calculations and only a little attention on walking. Just like that, all those students who saw Wang Baole were stunned after noticing his condition.
”Wang Baole, this is… What happened?”
”Why does it look like he has gone silly? Look, what is he muttering to himself?”
”That's not right. Don't tell me he was unable to deal with having his authority removed and went mad?”
The people in the Dharmic Armament faculty discussed the matter in hushed voices. Wang Baole was unable to notice his surroundings. He was performing the numerous calculations in his head as he arrived at Chancellor Peak.
This was his first time visiting Chancellor Peak. If it had been his previous self, Wang Baole would have paid more attention. But today, his mind was hazy, and he had to pump himself mentally to walk up the mountain peak and to the Chancellor's pavilion.
Because he was performing his calculations along the way, he was the last person there when he arrived, even though he was not late. The moment he walked into the large hall, he saw that the Head Prefects of all the faculties were all seated, including Zheng Liang, Cao Kun, and Lin Tianhao.
In the Chancellor's lecture hall, no one was allowed to make a lot of noise. As such, Zheng Liang's gaze was deeply concerned as he nodded in acknowledgment. Cao Kun laughed contemptuously, and as for Lin Tianhao, a cold look flashed across his eyes. After that, he no longer looked at Wang Baole.
All the other Head Prefects also noticed Wang Baole. After all, it was not long ago that Wang Baole had risen to fame. Although he had lost influence today, he was still a notable figure.
