194 Who Had Cheats Turned On In Their Life? (2/2)

Zhou Penghai immediately concurred, and the remaining three main team leaders hastily reflected on their conduct. They gathered around Wang Baole, conversing the entire way to the main hall. Along the way, every disciple of the College Administrative Department who saw Wang Baole greeted him with awe.

Wang Baole arrived at the main hall amidst the respectful welcomes. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Penghai started preparing tea for Wang Baole and brought it before the latter. He stood next to Wang Baole as he reported, in a low voice, what the entire College Administrative Department had been doing.

Wang Baole nodded at times as he listened to Zhou Penghai's report. At the end of the report, he raised his teacup. Zhou Penghai hurriedly lowered his head and left. Wang Baole placed his teacup down immediately and stood with his eyes shining. He inspected the main hall—a touch here, a feel there—and felt extremely pleased.

Even though my status has changed, I still have to work harder at cultivation and the refinement of Numinous Treasures. Satisfied, Wang Baole returned to the comfortable seat, pulled out a bag of snacks, and started munching. While snacking, he mused about his path henceforth.

I'm at the fourth level of the True Breath realm now. From now on, I have to work even harder and strive to reach the peak of True Breath realm… after that, I'll be able to prepare for the Foundation Establishment realm. Upon recalling the prowess the Foundation Establishment cultivators displayed during the battle at the stronghold, desire filled Wang Baole's heart.

I shouldn't neglect the area of refining Numinous Treasures either… I'll have to read up on fourth-grade Numinous Treasures.

And that Dragon's Tooth of mine, I should have accumulated sufficient materials. If it turns out as a fourth-grade treasure after crafting, its power should be considerable… not to mention the Core Formation realm monster's tooth that General Zhou promised me. It hasn't reached me yet… could he have forgotten? Wang Baole was reminded of the matter and straightened his back immediately. He felt torn and couldn't decide if he should send a friendly reminder.

Forget it. It doesn't look good to rush such matters. Let's wait a bit longer. If nothing reaches me, then, I'll just have to find some excuse to pay a personal visit to the stronghold.

Upon deciding the things that were to be done, Wang Baole called for the four main team leaders to gather again. He passed down some simple instructions and left the College Administrative Department. When he returned to the cave abode, he began his cultivation.

Time passed steadily, and things ran smoothly. Wang Baole managed to craft the Dragon's Tooth two weeks later.

He studied the mace-like Numinous Treasure before him. Wang Baole left the college and tested the Numinous Treasure in the wilderness. He examined the Numinous Treasure; paying attention to the spirit force it exuded and the destructive force it displayed when wielded. It was regrettable that he couldn't get his hands on a Beast King's tooth, but Wang Baole was still extremely pleased.

When the Beast King's tooth arrives, I'll just recraft it slightly. Its power should increase considerably.

He kept the Dragon's Tooth, happily stepped onto his droplet-shaped cruiser, and made his way back to the Upper Academy Island.

After entering the Upper Academy Island, as he neared the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, nearly everyone who saw Wang Baole paid great attention to his approaching; many even extended their greetings. Wang Baole smiled and nodded, returning their greetings while inwardly moved.

After he had become the Armament Soldier under the College Administrative Department, the change in his status and people's attitudes towards him had him in a constant good mood. Especially the female disciples—he could feel the flirtatious baiting in the eyes of many of them.

I've regained the feeling that I had on the Lower Academy Island, of constantly being the center of attention. As for those girls… I can understand how they feel. After all, it must be rare to find someone like me, who's so young, and so rich, and so good looking, and who wields such great power in his hands.

If it had been anyone else, he'd be strutting around like a flashy peacock by now. He wouldn't be so diligent and modest, and keep his head down like me, Wang Baole lamented. He felt as if he'd just discovered another one of his merits—modesty.

As he lost himself in his humble thoughts and was about to speed up his journey back to the cave abode, he suddenly heard a familiar thundering roar from the distant sky. It made the look on his face change, and he caught sight of a familiar figure charging towards him from afar.

It was the Diamond Ape.

It seemed that it had been secretly spying on Wang Baole for quite some time. As a result, despite having switched his cruiser, the Diamond Ape was able to recognize Wang Baole immediately. It sent its palm flying towards the cruiser without hesitation.

Another ambush! Wang Baole was frightened and at the same time, furious. Fortunately, he had survived a few ambushes by the Diamond Ape and had cultivated an excellent habit of keeping an eye out on his surroundings at all times. With his cultivation reaching the fourth level of the True Breath realm, his reaction had become quicker. Even though the Diamond Ape's outstretched palm managed to brush the side of the cruiser, under Wang Baole's steering, he managed to escape from the fate of being knocked around multiple times. After landing the cruiser with great difficulty, Wang Baole rushed out, looking vexed, and glared furiously at the sky.

In the sky, the Diamond Ape, having witnessed Wang Baole's quick reaction, was extremely dissatisfied. It bared its teeth at Wang Baole, and turned around and jiggled his butt at him. Then, with an air of disdain, it flew towards the Beast Taming Pavilion.

Many Dharmic Armament disciples witnessed what happened. The odd faces they made had a tinge of playful mischief. Nobody went around discussing it openly, but the history between Wang Baole and the Diamond Ape had made a deep impression on many people.

Wang Baole glared at the nasty looks the Diamond Ape gave him, then realized that his embarrassing state had been seen by everyone around him. He felt as if he had received a blow to his reputation. The present humiliation and the past wrongs surfaced in his mind, and his eyes narrowed into a glare.

That shameless monkey, it's time you have a taste of what I'm truly capable of!
