148 Interrupting with an Advertisemen (2/2)
Seeing what had happened, Wang Baole felt that his plans had been completely ruined. However, his reaction was also extremely fast. With the thought that there would be many people focusing their attention on him, Wang Baole immediately tried to salvage the situation. He looked toward the sky and forced a smile out on his face.
”Elders, teachers, Senior and Junior Brothers, how do you do? Er… my name is Wang Baole.
”Today, I'm here to introduce a Dharmic Artifact. It's called the Golden Bell Shield. You've heard it right! It's the legendary Golden Bell Shield!
”All of you have seen it just now as well. This Dharmic Artifact is extremely powerful. Rainbow Spirit Stones lie in its core, and it is covered with over thirty thousand inscriptions. It is made from precious Star Era Sand and has gone through forty-nine days of refinement over slow fire before being completely formed!”
Wang Baole cleared his throat with a cough. His tone became much more natural as he described the Dharmic Artifact.
However, in reality, he had done so out of exasperation. He felt that he couldn't let the fireworks go to waste; and now that he had attracted everyone's attention, he felt that he had to say something no matter what happened. Since he could not advertise the Flying Frost Sword, he could only advertise the protective beads.
The moment that he spoke, everyone on the spectator stands in the skies trembled all over. That was especially so for the red-robed middle-aged man, who was frozen in shock.
”This fatty's actually advertising his products! Is that against the rules?”
The other elders were all dumbfounded. Only the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder who was fond of Wang Baole cleared his throat.
”That can't be considered to have violated the rules. After all, he did not affect the other participants. This can also be considered a battle tactic. You can even see from this that this chap is rather smart…”
His words made the red-robed middle-aged man and the surrounding elders have odd expressions. Not only was the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder openly siding with Wang Baole and finding a way out for him, he was also praising him. The fact that he explain it away as a battle tactic for whatever had just happened was truly impressive.
Over at the military side opposite, all the warriors were also flabbergasted. Even Zhou Lu was shocked, while General Zhou began laughing. He looked at Wang Baole, and his interest in him grew deeper with a glimmer of admiration appearing in his eyes.
At the same time, commotion torrented on the external Upper Academy Island. Disciples from all the pavilions around were dumbfounded as they shrieked in surprise.
”That's so shameless! People have made advertisements in the past, but none of them were ever so direct!”
”How daring of him! I have thought about this in the past, but I did not have the courage to execute it!”
”This Wang Baole… he's gonna be famous!”
The commotion spread. Everyone from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion took a deep breath. This forceful form of advertisement put them at a loss.
However, Wang Baole was not done advertising.
”Everyone must be tempted now. However, this perfect second-grade Dharmic Artifact has even more unique characteristics. Other than the anti-shock capabilities that I have specially included, it can form a Spirit Qi hurricane with a force that all of you have witnessed just now. Do you think that's its limit? No! Watch on!” Wang Baole took a deep breath and raised his right hand to point at the golden glow that still remained.
As he pointed, the glow instantly warped, directly exploding loudly under the gazes of tens of thousands of spectators. It created an air pressure wave that spread in all directions. That frightened the two Combat Pavilion disciples so much that they exhaled deeply.
Ethereal Dao College's high officials, the military, as well as the Federation officials who were on the spectator stand high up in the skies suddenly became serious. In their eyes, a perfect second-grade Dharmic Artifact was nothing to shout about. However, of the second-grade Dharmic Artifacts, the impressiveness of the bead was what caught their eyes!
The disciples from Upper Academy Island spectating from the outside suddenly quieted down from the commotion. Some even held their breath as they stared in shock, while some of them grew increasingly tempted.
Wang Baole swept his gaze toward the spectator stand in the skies. After noticing the facial expressions of the spectators, he grew excited and spoke again.
”This is the final great power of this Dharmic Artifact. Think about it, when using it for protection, your opponent will have difficulty destroying it. Furthermore, if it implodes suddenly, how unexpected and shocking will that be!
”Such a precious and versatile Dharmic Artifact that has unexpected powers… Lu Zihao, how much do you say it's worth?”
Wang Baole was excited, and he looked at Lu Zihao, trying to drop him hints.
