150 It Also Works on Humans! (2/2)
”Little Black! Little White!” the female disciple exclaimed. Her expression instantly changed to one of worry, and she rushed forward to help them.
At the same time, the observers on the sky viewing gallery were uninterested. These masks had their merit, but they were still considered to be ordinary, unlike the golden bead that Wang Baole had previously. Not to mention, one of the three masks had malfunctioned. This live demonstration was a failure in their eyes.
However, on Upper Academy Island, there were many boos from those who had witnessed the scene that unfolded. There was a heated discussion about what had happened.
”That was nothing. To think that one of them malfunctioned!”
”Seems like this Wang Baole is running out of tricks. What a failure!”
Wang Baole was also worried and started sweating. He knew that this must have been because he failed to consider many aspects when he manufactured the mask. Furthermore, he had some trouble with his inscriptions. In a panic, he hurriedly raised his right arm, and the mask that was circling the air returned to its master. He grabbed it.
”Ahem, that was just a small mistake. This Dharmic Artifact, Shut Up, which I have made, is adjustable. I have recorded a list of seven to eight types of ferocious beasts in it, which you can add on to. Look, all I have to do is readjust this a little, then all is well!”
Only, this time, when the mask flew off, it still did not lock onto the remaining wolf that was already stricken with fear. It flew into the sky. Wang Baole slapped his forehead and heaved a huge sigh. He knew that his advertisement had failed.
Seeing his disappointment, the boos from Upper Academy Island became louder. When observers on the sky grandstand retracted their gaze, all of a sudden… that malfunctioning mask—after circling the air once—flew straight for the female disciple, as though it had a new target sighted!
The uproar that followed was astonishing and ear-piercing. Immediately, those outside who had initially retracted their gazes looked over. One by one, they were greatly shocked.
The female disciple was full of anger. She had been helping to remove the masks from her wolves, but upon witnessing the remaining mask coming for her, her eyes widened. Instantly, images of herself wearing the mask filled her mind. It was too frightening for her; she felt like her brain would explode. With a high-pitched scream, she hurriedly backed away.
She was quick, but the duck mask was quicker. It whistled through the air and neared her in an instant. Just as it was about to cover the mouth of this petite, pretty girl, her face paled, and without thought, she took out many protective Dharmic Artifacts, blocking the mask immediately.
Among the roar of commotion, this exceptional mask stopped in its tracks despite cracking after penetrating a few layers of the female disciple's protective Dharmic Artifacts. Before she could heave a sigh of relief, it suddenly exploded. A thick cloud of fog was released in the blink of an eye, which floated straight toward the female disciple.
Never mind the thick fog. To make matters worse, a thin rope, hidden in the fog, suddenly emerged from within the cracked mask. The female disciple's expression changed once again. Although she could dispel the fog, she could not escape the rope. Soon, the rope had wrapped itself around her a few times, tying her hands behind her back.
”Wang Baole!” she screeched. She had heard his self-introduction earlier on. She was enraged, but she could only stand there struggling.
Wang Baole blinked, but he quickly came to his senses, immediately lifting his head toward the sky, coughing.
”Actually, I wasn't finished. This Dharma treasure is not only adaptable but is also amazingly effective on humans…” he said but was instantly interrupted by the huge commotion in the voice transmission ring!
The number of voice transmissions skyrocketed, instantly hitting the roof.
Concurrently, on Upper Academy Island in the outside world, tens of thousands of people paid close attention to this battle, of which many cried out in alarm, their eyes shimmering with excitement. Even disciples of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion took a liking to this product.
Although there was an abundance of such adjustable Dharmic Artifacts in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, the mask that Wang Baole had made—though not without flaws—evidently had unique characteristics. And sometimes, such characteristics could have unpredictable effects during actual combat.
”It can do that too! Absolutely wicked! Too crafty! Wang Baole, I despise you! I want to get three!”
”This Dharmic Artifact is amazing! To think it has three usages! First the face mask, followed by the fog, and lastly the rope! Simply impossible to guard against! It is worthy of being a formidable tool for bondage!”
”All of you have a screw loose! So what if it can tie someone up? This artifact is prepared for our Alchemy Pavilion! Though that fog was rubbish, once we replace it, this baby will be awesome! Whoever smells it will faint!”
”I want ten of them!”
