119 Baole Returns (2/2)

Complaints surfaced like waves hitting rocks, crashing loudly without pause. They grew numerous and overwhelming, and toward the end, the surrounding students from the other three Dao College, regardless of whether or not they had met Wang Baole before, were all scolding him angrily, pushing the blame to him, creating an imposing scene.

The scene shocked the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges. They had never imagined that Wang Baole would instill so much hatred in the people. Wang Baole's seduction of the thousands of Spirit Roots involved many that were fated with other people. The betrayal and changes in those Spirit Roots unwittingly transformed into immense hatred.

That was compounded by the fact that those Spirit Roots had been unable to locate Wang Baole and began to disperse throughout the area, filling the entire landscape with figures of him. That seemed to form a reminder for those depressed students, causing them to be frustrated yet constantly reminded.

Of course, among the group, there were also many who had never interacted with Wang Baole previously. However, due to jealousy and the desire to participate in the commotion, they all began to comment as well.

It was becoming chaotic with activity, with many students exchanging comments and airing their displeasure. The trio from Ethereal Dao College looked at each other and then at the old physician without saying a word.

That gave the old physician pressure. He was laughing bitterly internally. He had not felt that Wang Baole was so annoying to people previously, but he had never thought that when he was placed within the crowd, he would cause so much displeasure.

As his headache throbbed on and the sounds of discussions grew even louder, the accompanying cultivators from the four major Dao Colleges who were guarding the entrance let out a loud scream!

”There's a flying object approaching!”

”Quiet down! A mysterious object is approaching!”

”It looks big, and it doesn't seem to be a student!”

The shouts from the Spirit Breath Village entrance immediately caught the attention of the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges. It would not have caused much fanfare in the past, but since the glow and changes had occurred in the Spirit Breath Village previously, they were especially alert, and they all turned their heads toward the sky.

The surrounding students also stopped their discussions, looking nervously in the same direction.

Just as they placed their attention on it, they immediately saw that at the entrance of Spirit Breath Village, there was a twenty-foot-tall, thirty-foot-wide object flying toward them.

Magnetic forces surrounded the object. It was shimmering, which made it difficult to take a clear look at. Its speed was fast, and as it charged closer toward the area, it slowly became clearer.

”What is it?”

”It seems like a huge pail…”

”That can't be right. It's not a pail… There seem to be people hanging around it.”

”The pail contains lots of materials… Gosh, I think I saw an alchemical cauldron in it!”

Waves of shocked voices emerged from the crowd. As the object neared, the old physician noticed a figure largely covered by the pail. After it was revealed that it was a rotund figure, he drew a deep breath, his face conveying a look of bewilderedness and shock. The three other Chancellors beside him also recognized the figure after taking a closer look. Instinctively, they wanted to start reprimanding, but they were instead dumbfounded by the gains that far exceeded their imaginations.

Soon, sharp-eyed students also noticed the rotund body. They rubbed their eyes and took another look before wanting to scream but being unable to do so.

”That is… that's Wang Baole!”

The moment they spoke, Wang Baole's low growl could be heard emerging from behind the large pail.

”Those in front, make way! Don't block me, I don't know how to stop this! It's dangerous!”

As his voice spread, the students from the four major Dao Colleges in the plaza saw Wang Baole clearly. Instinctively, they spread out, creating a path, as their minds buzzed with activity.

The instant that they spread out, Wang Baole, who was surrounded by the magnetic force, charged forward at an ever increasing speed. With a loud boom, he passed the entrance of Spirit Breath Village, creating a sonic boom, as he instantly appeared in the plaza.

The magnetic force dissipated, but due to inertia, when Wang Baole landed on the ground, he caused the earth to shake several times due to the weight and the immense speed. He hugged the large pail and tumbled hundreds of feet before stopping. He then placed the large pail on the ground, causing a loud thump.

After that, Wang Baole turned his head while huffing and puffing. Wiping off his perspiration, he looked at the crowd, instantly noticing that the people surrounding him—regardless of whether they were students, the hundreds of accompanying cultivators, the Chancellors from the four major Dao College, or even the elites and old powerhouses from the respective Dao Colleges who arrived thereafter—were all looking at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Looking at the shock on the people's faces, Wang Baole was extremely delighted. He cleared his throat, wanting to say a few humble words, but even before he could do that, a deafening commotion and activity that seemed to be able to shake the heavens and earth suddenly erupted, instantly drowning Wang Baole within it.
