99 Say Hi! (2/2)
”After absorbing this True Breath, I will attain the five-inch Spirit Root, allowing me to fight for the six- or even seven-inch Spirit Root. When that happens, Wang Baole will be nothing!”
The youth laughed heartily as he threw out a powerful punch that forced the five-inch Spirit Root to move backward. When it was about to disperse, his laughter grew even heartier as he leaped into the air, preparing to throw out a final punch.
”Five-inch Spirit Root, you're mine now!”
However, the moment he howled, the exact moment the five-inch Spirit Root was within reach of his fingers, Wang Baole's eyes lit up and revealed himself from under the stone shell. He stood up, excitedly raising his hands to greet the agitated youth from White Deer Branch College.
”Hey, fellow Daoist, how are you?”
Wang Baole's sudden appearance, coupled with his loud greeting, shocked the youth from White Deer Branch College, who was momentarily stunned when he saw Wang Baole.
As he stood there in shock, the five-inch Spirit Root that was originally on the brink of breaking down suddenly trembled before quickly expanding. Even its facial features transformed instantly, morphing into Wang Baole's. While the youth from White Deer Branch College stood flabbergasted, the five-inch Spirit Root that originally belonged to him began charging at Wang Baole while howling.
”Woah!” Wang Baole was suddenly alert, and the moment the five-inch Spirit Root approached, he quickly threw out a tight slap, instantly dispersing the five-inch Spirit Root.
It was not an easy feat because Wang Baole was so strong that the five-inch Spirit Root could not fight him. Instead, it was because the Spirit Root had already been on the brink of breaking down after battling the youth from White Deer Branch College, which made it easily to defeat with just a simple slap from Wang Baole.
It transformed into a green fog, which was immediately absorbed by Wang Baole's body, replacing the four-inch Spirit Root and turning into a five-inch Spirit Root!
Everything happened so quickly that it only took the time of several breaths for Wang Baole to appear, make his greeting, and finally absorb the five-inch Spirit Root. The youth from White Deer Branch College stood with his eyes wide open as he looked dumbfounded at whatever had just unfolded before his eyes. His breathing became quick and urgent, and his eyes grew increasingly bloodshot.
”Wang Baole!” His entire body trembled, and his heart raced widely in pain. The five-inch Spirit Root was too precious, and it was very likely that it's the only five-inch Spirit Root fated to him. It had almost become his just a moment before it was snatched away by Wang Baole right before his eyes.
If it had been snatched away by Wang Baole earlier on, it would not have mattered as much as he would not have exerted so much effort in battling the Spirit Root. He would still have been furious, but he would have been significantly less agitated compared to now. Right now, his mind was about to explode with anger, thinking about how he had put in all that effort and had success within reach before it was being taken away by someone else.
In his rage, he let out an angry scream, howling and charging crazily toward Wang Baole. As he neared, Wang Baole also became alert and immediately kicked powerfully.
Wang Baole was swift, and coupled with the raging anger from the youth, the collision could not be avoided. Wang Baole's kick landed directly on the youth's stomach with a loud bang, causing him to be thrown into the air before landing on the ground far away.
”Wang Baole, you're shameless!” The youth struggled to pick himself up, screaming angrily as green veins popped out of his forehead.
”I merely wanted to greet you, and you're responding by attacking me? You people from White Deer Branch College… don't you have any manners?” Wang Baole replied angrily.
”Forget it, I'm magnanimous, and I shan't be nitty-gritty with you. Bye!”
Wang Baole cleared his throat, and his heart filled with pleasure as he turned to leave. The youth from White Deer Branch College heard what Wang Baole said and was so furious that he spurted out a mouthful of crimson red blood.
”Wang Baole, return my five-inch Spirit Root!”
Wang Baole pretended to not hear those words. He moved quickly, running away at the speed of light until he disappeared from sight. The youth, on the other hand, was unbearably frustrated, unable to release his anger. He wanted to chase after him, but he knew that he would not be able to catch up. Even if he could, he would not be able to battle him.
As he grew crazy with rage, he inevitably vomited another mouthful of blood. He began regretting his past actions and for not controlling his mouth previously, which caused him to provoke the damned Wang Baole, who was someone who held grudges.
