54 Head Prefect of the Three Rolls! (1/2)

After sending off Xie Haiyang, Wang Baole was too excited to feel his exhaustion. He immediately took the crimson helmet and examined it. When he saw that the helmet had three barely perceptible marks, Wang Baole's eyes grew wide.

Three Armament Marks? Wang Baole was surprised. He quickly took out the second volume of the Qi Fostering Art and flipped to the page introducing Dharma artifacts. After careful cross-referencing, his eyes lit up.

It's actually a numinous treasure!

According to the introduction by the second volume of the Qi Fostering Art, these kinds of markings were called Armament Marks. First and second grade Dharma artifacts did not have these marks, but they would surface when third grade artifacts became numinous treasures.

Knowing that he held a numinous treasure in his hand, Wang Baole grew more assured in losing weight. Now, he examined the instructions for use before putting the helmet on.

This numinous treasure should be effective… Wang Baole suddenly felt insecure. After all, he had paid a high price to borrow this helmet, and it was also his last hope. This made Wang Baole's heart beat fast and his mind nervous.

As he inhaled deeply, Wang Baole gritted his teeth, allowing the spirit energy to course violently through his body, melding into the helmet. In that instant, Wang Baole felt an explosion in his brain; his vision blurred, and it seemed that a voice reverberated near his ear, except that he could not hear it properly.

Following the instructions, Wang Baole knew that he needed to transmit an order to trick his own brain at that moment.

”I haven't eaten in three months!” Wang Baole quickly sent the order to trick his brain. As he spoke, he heard a boom in his brain again, and suddenly his eyes widened, his body convulsed, and his breathing grew unbelievably rapid.

”Hungry, so hungry I'm going to die!”

Even though his stomach was clearly not hungry, in his consciousness, the feeling of hunger inundated him like a tidal wave. He even suddenly discovered that his body was convulsing uncontrollably.

Very quickly, his eyes became green, and he jumped violently to his feet, screaming feebly.

”I can't take it anymore; I need to eat something!”

That feeling of hunger drove Wang Baole crazy. He immediately opened his storage bracelet, took out some snacks and ate wildly. When he finished, he still felt unbearably hungry and quickly drank water as he screamed.

Yet, even though he did that, the feeling of hunger did not lessen. Instead, it grew stronger.

No, I need to resist!

At the end, Wang Baole's screams grew weak beyond belief. He was so hungry that he scratched the walls, and he only managed to control himself after using a great deal of willpower. As his whole body shivered, the spirit fat in his body began to quickly disintegrate, as his brain judged that he had not eaten in weeks.

The whole process continued for about five minutes. When the feeling of hunger gradually dissipated, Wang Baole collapsed to the ground, his limbs sore and weak. As he panted, he felt his vision go black, and he only recovered after a long while. Struggling to raise himself, he looked at his obviously skinnier belly, and he felt so excited that he laughed loudly.

It worked! It was effective after all!

Again. This time, I haven't eaten in three years!

Wang Baole was ready to go all in. That determination to lose weight caused him to exude an aura of fortitude, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke. In that moment… Wang Baole's vision grew black, and that incredible feeling of hunger was impossible to describe, causing him to scream and lose consciousness.

Although he had fainted, his body was still convulsing, and he foamed at the mouth. However, the effects were alarming. His round body was visibly shriveling. This was all because his order had caused his brain to think that he was on the cusp of starving to death; thus, his brain was working so hard that it exploded.

Under his brain's control, his metabolism went on overdrive, constantly disintegrating the excess spirit fat in his body, releasing energy to replenish what his body needed to live.

Just like that, one entire day passed.

The next day, Wang Baole slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his small belly weakly, feeling that his cultivation level had already broken past the Physical Seal and entered Pulse Enrichment. However, he was not as delighted as he had expected. At that moment, he felt as though he had gone through hell.

His body ached everywhere, especially his brain, which felt like it had swollen to the limit. He was seeing double and lay on the ground without the energy to even pull himself to his feet.

This weight loss… is too scary! Wang Baole's face was white, and he stayed down for a full two hours before he felt some of his energy come back to him. After struggling to sit up, he leaned against the wall and lowered his head to look at his small belly, then he looked again at his handsome photo. This made him feel somewhat better.

As long as I'm skinnier… I don't ever want to lose weight again. This numinous treasure… it's like playing with my life! Wang Baole was still in a state of shock, and he quickly took off the helmet and contacted Xie Haiyang. He returned the helmet and cultivated in his cave abode for three days before he fully recovered.

Looking at himself in the mirror, the strengthened Wang Baole seemed to have forgotten the previous ordeal of losing weight, and he once again grew excited.

Losing weight is no big deal. To me, this is too easy! As he laughed loudly, Wang Baole struck different kinds of poses. Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, he raised his head proudly, while munching on a few bags of snacks, before walking out of the cave abode in full satisfaction.

Now, it's time for me to become the Dharmic Armament faculty's unrivaled and unbeatable Head Prefect!

With such grand ambition, Wang Baole ran toward the Spirit Kernel hall.

When his silhouette appeared at the Spirit Kernel classroom and stood in front of the classroom's blue wall to start the test, this incident shook the entire Dharmic Armament faculty.
