71 It Is Never Too Early for Revenge (1/2)
Wang Baole's narrow-minded personality meant that he had to take revenge for even the slightest grievance. This was especially so after experiencing near-certain death and eventually surviving the battle that occurred in the Pond Cloud Rainforest. He would have died if he had made a single mistake.
Even if he experienced the events in the Pond Cloud Rainforest again, he could not be sure that he could walk out alive.
The battle not only breached the bottom line of Ethereal Dao College but also provoked Wang Baole. Even though the notice released by the Dao College did not imply a need for him to respond to the issue, Wang Baole still desired to carry out revenge personally.
Doing that would incite more hatred, but Wang Baole did not care. After all, even if he did not take revenge, Lin Tianhao and company would not see him as less of an enemy. Since that was the case, he might as well take revenge by himself and relish in the glee of his accomplishment after that.
In the results of the Chancellor's investigations and the notifications sent out, it was revealed that Cao Kun and Jiang Lin were also accomplices of Lin Tianhao's. The investigation had been extremely thorough. Even though Cao Kun and Jiang Lin did not participate directly, they were co-conspirators.
Slaps to their faces should be given in the public eye by me, only then will it feel satisfying! Wang Baole was in high-spirits, munching loudly on a bag of snacks in the cave abode, as he thought excitedly about the scene upon the return of Lin Tianhao and company.
Very quickly, three days passed. Liu Daobin and the other inspectors of the Dharmic Armament faculty acted immediately and promptly returned to Ethereal Dao College to report to Wang Baole upon receiving Wang Baole's notice.
Wang Baole did not specifically assign duties to his subordinates beforehand and instead instructed them to be ready for duty. Finally, two more days passed, and the first day of the new semester in Ethereal Dao College arrived.
On the morning of the first day of the semester, Wang Baole was up early. He wore his new Head Prefect Daoist robe as he posed in front of the mirror to choose a posture that he deemed to be the mightiest. He turned his head with gusto and lowered his voice as he directed orders to Liu Daobin through his voice transmission ring.
”All inspectors of the Dharmic Armament faculty are to assemble in the aerial port of Dao College within half an hour!”
After directing the order, Wang Baole took a deep breath and felt immensely pleased. With his belly plumped up and his hands clasped, he walked directly out of the Cave Abode. Almost immediately, he heard whirring in the skies and saw an endless stream of aircrafts coming from all directions in the sky.
Almost all the senior students would return to the Dao College on the first day of the semester. Some of the aircrafts carried new students who arrived in advance. On this day every year, the aerial port of Ethereal Dao College was packed.
Furthermore, among the senior students who had returned, many would mix within the crowds of new students almost immediately upon arrival, searching relentlessly for a junior whom they could connect with for the coming year, as they dreamed of starting a passionate relationship in the Dao College.
This year, however, seemed different. At this moment, at the aerial port, Liu Daobin and hundreds of black-robed inspectors were assembled almost immediately at the highest possible efficiency upon receiving their orders, even before Wang Baole arrived. Their presence resulted in a commotion at the aerial port, causing all the students to gasp in surprise.
”What happened!?”
”Why are there so many inspectors?”
”They are from… the Dharmic Armament faculty!”
Amid the discussions among the masses, Liu Daobin and the other inspectors assembled in neat formation, with everyone carrying a stern expression as they stood waiting without speaking.
Before long, when Wang Baole's silhouette appeared from afar, the hundreds of inspectors revealed intense passion in their eyes and began greeting him respectfully. It didn't matter if their reaction was genuine or not.
”Greetings, Head Prefect!”
They were loud, their voices transforming into waves that reverberated all around, causing the students to tremble in response. As for Wang Baole, he was filled with indescribable pleasure as he approached the black-robed inspectors with his hands clutched, looking at the aircraft that was about to land from the sky.
After proposing that he would take matters into his own hands to the Chancellor, the Chancellor had already informed Wang Baole of the serial numbers of the aircrafts that carried Lin Tianhao, Cao Kun, and Jiang Lin. Now, Wang Baole waited silently as his eyes swept over the aircrafts in the sky with squinted eyes.
His silence resulted in doubts in the minds of Liu Daobin and the other inspectors, but they did not have the courage to question anything. They remained stern as they waited in silence. For the masses at the aerial port, the usual hustle and bustle seemed to have been lost, replaced with an overwhelmingly pressure. They speculated with each other, whispering endlessly.
Time passed slowly. Before long, the aircrafts landed one by one. Every senior student that stepped out of the aircraft was initially excited and conversing with each other cheerfully, but after noticing the hundreds of inspectors from the Dharmic Armament faculty, the conversations stopped. Taken aback and shocked, they all avoided walking toward the assembly directly, instead gathering at the side as they appraised the situation.
Furthermore, some of the aircrafts carried teachers who were leading the new students. The new students were unaware of the identities of the inspectors. The exhilaration of stepping into the Dao College made them cheer, but they quickly noticed the gazes of the masses looking at the black-robed inspectors as questions began to form in their minds.
”Who are they?”
