159 Could This Be a Kidney Stone? (1/2)

As the Dharmic Artifact was spinning at a dizzying speeds in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion cave abode, the order that Wang Baole transmitted to the brain was perfectly activated by the Dharmic Artifact. A momentary explosion resulted in the spirit fat within Wang Baole's unconscious body to visibly disintegrate.

His body gradually recovered. However, the process—compared to normal slimming rates—was indescribably fast. Wang Baole's body also trembled subconsciously.

If seen by others, this would be unnerving. They would not be able to help but be impressed by the fatty's harshness and courage to slim down.

At the same time, in Wang Baole's unconscious state, there was a forbidden zone that was off-limits to those not granted permission to access. It was found on the mountain peak of the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion, located at Upper Academy Island.

Looking from afar, the peak had a depression that looked like a lake. At the lakeside, there was a wooden house. At that moment, the Grand Supreme Elder, who had pointed at Wang Baole, was sitting there, looking at the water surface.

Along his gaze, the great competition within the Combat Pavilion appeared clearly beneath the water surface, just like the ones participated in by Wang Baole. In reality, it was just like a great competition that was held underwater.

Under his observation, the bald youth called Li Wuchen paced quickly from far, wearing an ugly expression. As he arrived, he took a deep breath to barely cool himself down. Walking up to the elder's side, he quietly saluted him once.

”Master.”

”How do you feel?” his master asked with his eyes fixated on the lake surface, without looking back. At this moment, the large competition within the Combat Pavilion had already decided on who was the strongest from each mountain peak. The second round of the competition was beginning.

Upon hearing his master's words, Li Wuchen, who could already hardly keep his cool, seemed to struggle to contain his anger even after taking a few consecutive deep breaths. He clenched his teeth.

”That Wang Baole was too shameless! I merely went to test him, yet he went on to swallow my Illusory Armament world and even digested a good half of it… Master, I suspect he was originally a beast!” Li Wuchen felt more exasperated at this moment.

Listening to the words of his disciple, the elder expression somewhat changed. Recalling what had happened earlier, he uncontrollably laughed and turned back to look at the still peeved Li Wuchen.

”Wuchen, why not let Wang Baole be your junior brother?” The elder deliberated, with his eyes having a glint.

”What?” Li Wuchen obviously did not expect that his own master would say such a thing. His mind buzzed. If Wang Baole became his junior brother, that would be extremely terrible in his mind. Li Wuchen became anxious. However, it would be impossible to persuade his master in such a situation. He can only speak indignantly.

”Master, you need to be careful when making such a decision. I am afraid that you may regret it in the future…”

The elder gave a faint smile and turned to look at the lake surface quietly. However, his eyes seemed to be filled with an even sharper glint. The smile at the corner of his lips did not fade away for a long time.

Seeing that his master seemed to have made his decision, Li Wuchen, depressed, could not help but look at the water drops of his own Illusory Weapon World. Particularly when he suddenly recalled that this was spat out from Wang Baole's mouth, his anger uncontrollably shot up, his expression changed, and he sharply inhaled.

As time gradually elapsed, the Combat Pavilion's competition finally ended after three days. Even though Lu Zihao finished strong, he did not come in as champion of the first level of the True Breath realm in the final match. At least, he managed to be among the top ten of those at the first level of the True Breath realm.

The champion this time round was Zhuo Yifan!

In third place was Chen Ziheng. As for the second, it was a female disciple called Wu Hui. She was lesser known. However, the assistant whom she invited was actually Zhao Yameng. With her help, Wu Hui was able to go all the way to the mountain peak. Furthermore, she was augmented by the array formation given by Zhao Yameng afterward, becoming the dark horse of the large competition.

At this moment, the Combat Pavilion's competition finally ended. As the military and the Federation officials were leaving, the top ten warriors of the first to the fifth level of the Combat Pavilion immediately became famous on Upper Academy Island, catching the attention of many people.

In previous years, the supporting teammates of the other pavilions might be mentioned after the competition, but they would not have received as much attention as those victors of the competition. This was because the competition belonged to the Combat Pavilion after all.
