215 The Federation Needs Ten Thousand Wang Baoles! (1/2)

The entrance of the god-like man sent the entire Presidential Pavilion into silence. The thousands of people simultaneously felt the imposing aura exuding from him. Unconsciously, they started shuddering inwardly and lowered their heads.

Part of it was due to his authority and status, and the other due to his cultivation. Be it due to his position as the strongest man in the Federation, the sole wielder of a Divine Armament, or the president, the white-robed man walking in was the focus of everyone's attention. He shone like the sun.

The hundred chosen seedlings stirred under the pressure, their emotions surging like waves. They felt like a solitary boat in a raging ocean. A natural fear and awe rose within them.

Be it Zhuo Yifan or Zhao Yameng, or even Kong Dao, who had a confirmed placement, none dared show any other feelings on their faces. They couldn't help the awe and respect in their eyes.

Wang Baole, as well, stilled his breathing under the imposing aura. However, he was different from the other seedlings. His eyes held the same awe and respect, but at the same time, they had a strange look to them, as if they were looking at his future self.

Such an expression immediately set him apart from the rest.

Under the stares of the crowd, the stern-faced Duan Muque broke into a smile the moment he stepped into the Presidential Pavilion. He walked towards the hundred seedlings, stood before them, and looked at every single one of them. His smile deepened with warmth and pleasure, as well as approval.

”The future of the Federation belongs to you!”

His voice carried the tone of encouragement as well as approval. The spirits of the hundred seedlings, including Wang Baole, immediately soared. They cupped their fists and gave Duan Muque a deep bow.

”Bring the medals over. I'll present them to you. This medal represents your status, and the Federation's approval and expectations of you. I hope, from today onwards, you will be a representation of something extraordinary to the Federation!” Amidst Duan Muque's laughter, a guard who had been standing behind him immediately came forward and delivered the hundred medals the Federation specially made for the seedlings to him.

Duan Muque took the medals and started presenting them one by one. Every time he presented a medal to someone, he would offer words of encouragement. The limelight would fall on each prodigy receiving the medal during that moment. He or she would become the focus of the attention of the billions of people across the entire Federation watching the event in front of their screens.

Such presentation ceremonies were broadcast live throughout the entire Federation.

”Good. This era belongs to us and belongs to you as well!”

”Is this little Yameng? Not bad, I hope to see you surpass your mother one day!”

”Kong Dao, you have to continue to work hard!” Duan Muque walked past the group, presenting the medals. His words of praise resounded throughout the air. The Federation government officials accompanying him nodded with a smile, their eyes carrying looks of encouragement.

The people who had received his praise and encouragement felt varying degrees of excitement. That sight was also seen in the eyes of the billion Federation residents through the screen.

That carried on until Duan Muque stood before Wang Baole. Wang Baole inhaled deeply and pushed his chest out, presenting what he thought was his most good-looking side before the entire Federation.

His feeling of looking at Duan Muque and seeing his future self intensified.

”Wang Baole? I know who you are!” Duan Muque looked at Wang Baole. His smile, compared to his earlier ones at the others, had a little something else to it. Even though he felt that there was something strange in Wang Baole's stare, he didn't think too much on it. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and patted Wang Baole on the shoulder. He turned towards the Federation government officials following him and said with a smile.

”When General Dexi spoke to me about Wang Baole, I said something to him. Today, I'm going to repeat what I said. The Federation… needs ten thousand Wang Baoles!”

As soon as the words were out, the surrounding government officials were stunned. They started paying more attention when they looked at Wang Baole. Duan Muque's actions and his words of praise to Wang Baole were clearly stronger than what he had given the rest.

Even amongst the other seedlings around him were many who looked at Wang Baole with jealousy. However, they had risen above countless others to where they were, and every one of them had own means and ways. They kept their feelings hidden deep within their hearts and revealed nothing on their faces.

At the same time, in the tens of thousands of homes, the residents of the Federation witnessed the scene through their screens. In that instant, surprise spread throughout the Federation. The sounds of debating voices could be heard across the entire Federation.

”That little fatty is Wang Baole? That's the guy who had a confirmed placement?”

”He might be the fattest of them all, but clearly how outstanding one is has nothing to do with their weight!”

”His treatment is obviously different. There must be something going on behind the scenes!”

As the tens of thousands of households continued their discussions, in Phoenix City, on the highest building, a huge screen had been erected and was currently broadcasting that exact scene.

Wang Baole, who had come from Phoenix City, was the pride of the city. Wang Baole's parents, especially, were excited beyond measure at the moment.
