99 Say Hi! (1/2)

”Wang Baole, you're shameless!”

”It wasn't a Spirit Root that we saw just now. Sisters, it is likely that it was the real Wang Baole!”

”After him! Eliminate that bast*rd!”

Very quickly, voices of anger emerged continuously from the pond. The several women from White Deer Branch College, together with the few others who were guarding the area, charged angrily. They did not notice the stone that Wang Baole was hiding himself under but were instead focused on the puppet that Wang Baole had thrown out. They immediately chased after the puppet, which was running away quickly.

The puppet was fast, and as he charged, he led the group of women away from the forest, and peace was swiftly restored in the forest once again.

Only then did Wang Baole, who was crouching under the stone shell begin inching forward. He only picked up speed when he had completely left the area, and one could see a huge rock tumbling by, crossing over the mountain peaks, distancing itself…

Before he reached the other side of the mountain, Wang Baole did not keep the stone shell at all. He wiped off the perspiration on his forehead and laughed bitterly, thinking about how this assessment in the Spirit Breath Village was becoming too exhilarating.

”It's so difficult to be the good guy. If not for consideration of their emotions, why would I have to torture my eyes? As if I wanted to look…” Wang Baole let out a dry cough and mumbled to him as he continued moving forward in search of a four-inch Spirit Root under the cover of his stone shell.

Perhaps because he was wandering in the area where those Spirit Roots that had morphed into him had gathered previously, Wang Baole did not have to search for long before he found a four-inch Spirit Root that looked exactly like him.

Dashing out quickly to attack it before absorbing it, Wang Baole had happily wanted to take his leave before his facial expression changed. Looking toward his right and putting on his stone shell again, Wang Baole began creeping up to the area with slow, soft steps.

Very quickly, as he neared, he became more cautious of his movements. When he arrived beneath a huge tree, he lay there and looked ahead. Hundreds of feet away, two figures were battling with each other.

It's him! Wang Baole recognized one of the two right away. That person had provoked Wang Baole previously outside the mystic realm, the youth from White Deer Branch College whose fingers had been twisted by Wang Baole. The look of hatred and his urge to take revenge were strongly imprinted in Wang Baole's mind!

The other party the youth was battling was a five-inch-long True Breath Spirit Root that looked exactly like him. It was apparent that the youth already possessed the foundation of a four-inch Spirit Root and could successfully absorb the five-inch Spirit Root if he could successfully defeat it.

Even though attaining a five-inch Spirit Root made one slightly inferior to the top students who have set their sights at the eight-inch Spirit Roots, there actually were few True Breath cultivators who could reach eight inches in the entire Federation. Most people could only reach three inches, making those who could reach five inches seem rather impressive.

Right now, the youth from White Deer Branch College was in an intense match with the Spirit Root. After all, the combat capabilities of a five-inch Spirit Root were highly comparable to that of the actual person. The youth might still emerge victorious, but it would probably be a lengthy battle.

As he watched, Wang Baole blinked.

Should I snatch it from him? Wang Baole was very tempted.

I shouldn't. Snatching without any attempt to hide myself is something that I, the Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty of Ethereal Dao College, cannot do!

Wang Baole's conscience took over. He felt that he was someone of high standing and must not do something so crude and unethical that would not reap many benefits beside inciting anger in the other party.

Forget it, I'll just go and extend my greetings to him. We're all students from the four major Dao Colleges, and it would be rude of me to not greet him. Furthermore, since he's so focused on the battle now, I shouldn't distract him. I'll greet him when he's about to succeed in the battle, Wang Baole thought, pleased with his moral character. He felt that he was a good-natured person who was caring and considerate, so he lay there excitedly, waiting for the right time to emerge.

Five minutes flew past quickly, and the youth from White Deer Branch College was panting heavily. However, his eyes were filled with intense agitation, for he felt that his luck in Spirit Breath Village was through the roof. The four-inch Spirit Root was an easy fight, but the five-inch Spirit Root did not take long either.

”This is a five-inch Spirit Root. It's possible that it is the only one fated to me in the entire Spirit Breath Village!” the youth said, extremely excited as his emotions overwhelmed him.
