47 You Must Be the Inscriptions Head Prefec (2/2)
”Good, good, good!” The Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder laughed loudly and stood up. He waved his right hand, and the storage bracelet flew toward Wang Baole.
After receiving it, Wang Baole was incredibly grateful and quickly thanked the elder loudly.
”Thank you very much for the treasure, Senior!”
The Chancellor's eyes also showed his admiration as he looked deeply at Wang Baole. Goatee and the other teachers, too, had a rich appreciation in their eyes.
This was too strange, and the surrounding Head Prefects did not really understand. Cao Kun's eyes grew wider. Even though he looked properly, he still could not make heads or tails of it. He did not know why the Chancellor and the others were so appreciative.
Only Lin Tianhao's expression changed dramatically in that instant. His breathing became rough, and his heart shook, creating a storm within him.
Just as these Head Prefects were in confusion, the dust of the Spirit Stone in front of Wang Baole turned into a small cloud. Rain fell in the space before the crowd, and a gust of cold wind from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Elder's bracelet followed, causing the droplets of rain to turn into ice after falling, landing on the ground.
Seeing everyone at a loss, the Chancellor began to explain wistfully. ”The difficulty of this question is not in the selection or engraving of the Inscriptions; what's difficult is the simplification. And the even harder aspects… require Spirit Borrowing. By using the Frost Qi of the bracelet, it perfectly demonstrates the three states of water!”
This scene made everyone gasp, completely struck dumb with amazement. All of them looked at Wang Baole as though he was a god, and Cao Kun seemed even more dumbstruck.
At this moment, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder smiled as he began to leave. When he passed by Wang Baole, he patted his shoulder and smiled at the Chancellor by his side.
”This rascal is your Dharmic Armament faculty's Inscriptions Head Prefect, isn't he? Very good, well done!”
After hearing that, Cao Kun shivered, and his expression became even worse. The Chancellor smiled and said nothing; Goatee and the others had strange expressions. At this instant, Wang Baole—who had recovered from calculating the answer—thought of Cao Kun's previous taunting and showed a humble expression on his face while murmuring to the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder, ”Senior, that… I'm not the Inscriptions Head Prefect—he is.”
Saying that, Wang Baole purposefully pointed at the crying Cao Kun.
Cao Kun's heart burned with hatred, but he was under the attention of everyone, so he could not show it. Instead, he forced a smile and cupped his fist in greeting. However, he had not even finished paying his respects when the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder turned away and looked at Wang Baole curiously.
”Then, you must be the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect!”
Lin Tianhao's expression changed drastically. Wang Baole gave a blushing smile, and ignoring the color on Lin Tianhao's face, he raised his finger and pointed straight at him.
”He is the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect. Senior, I'm the Spirit Stones Head Prefect.”
The Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder had a strange look on his face when he heard that, apparently finding it quite unbelievable. He shook his head, and after some thought, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Wang Baole.
”This jade slip records part of Materials Study, which comes after Spirit Kernel. You can get familiar with it, feel your way around by yourself.” After gifting the jade slip, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Elder and the Chancellor left together.
Very soon, the Chancellor returned. He gave everyone a few words of encouragement, asked Wang Baole about his studies, then announced that the lecture had ended.
Goatee and the others also started to leave; however, before each of them left, they would stare at Wang Baole. This was especially so for Goatee, who looked at Wang Baole with a large smile. He felt that his initial judgement in specially recruiting Wang Baole was correct.
After encouraging Wang Baole with a few words, he left with the other Dharmic Armament faculty teachers.
After all the teachers left, the other Head Prefects immediately came up to Wang Baole to interact with good intentions. They laughed and talked with each other as they walked down Chancellor Peak, and they only separated after reaching the base.
Only Cao Kun and Lin Tianhao had dark expressions and constantly glared at Wang Baole's back. If looks could kill, Cao Kun would have stabbed Wang Baole millions upon millions of times.
”Cao Kun, you need to work harder when you get back. I'm worried that this fatty might come for your Inscriptions Head Prefect position next!” Lin Tianhao was troubled. He knew that reminders were useless, but he still sighed and reminded Cao Kun.
Cao Kun was stunned. Previously, he had felt something ominous, and now he was even more panicked. His face turned white. He quickly ran back to the cave abode with his eyes red and started studying like crazy.
