304 Five Hundred Fatties! (1/2)

Wang Baole's voice reverberated throughout the entire Public Square, making all the students there extremely surprised. That was especially so after hearing that Wang Baole was imparting such a peerless skill, which made them even more excited.

What surprised them most was the name of that peerless skill, 'Baole Heaven Devouring Skill…'

The name made many people widen their eyes. They were confused, and some of them even began talking in a hushed manner.

”This… This name is a little weird…”

”Maybe this cultivation technique is known as the Heaven Devouring Skill! The term 'Baole' could be added by Dean Wang Baole himself?”

”It sounds a little dumb…”

As the students discussed amongst themselves, Jin Duozhi from the Trilunaris Corporation, as well as the students who had been through the incident at the Battle-axe Hotel, all turned their heads and looked angrily at the students who were engaged in the discussion.

”Shut up, none of you have a clue about how impressive that skill is!”

”Our dear dean is so selfless in imparting his secret skill, and yet all of you still gossip behind his back? Just listening to its name, this Baole Heaven Devouring Skill already sounds formidable, several times more impressive than what has been passed down in my family!”

These people stared angrily at the crowd, with Jin Duozhi fuming with rage and his voice the loudest amongst them.

”What's wrong in naming the cultivation technique after himself, since he rightly created it? This is extremely logical and reasonable, and at the same time shows how confident the dean is in his skill!

”Furthermore, the term 'Heaven Devouring' implies that the dean is extremely formidable, and is a highly regarded individual. This is to encourage us to learn earnestly and practice diligently. He also wants to tell us that cultivators of our generation shouldn't see the sky as the limit. One day, we will be able to break that boundary and make a name for ourselves through devouring the heavens!”

”It gives us hope, and at the same time, he willingly sacrificed himself so that we could succeed. The simple name of the cultivation technique represents the hopes that the dean has for us, his fearlessness towards the Heavenly Dao, as well as his wish for us to step into the Great Dao in order to fulfill our dreams. Why don't any of you understand his efforts?” Jin Duozhi sounded extremely pained as if he had managed to understand something so profound and precious which the others disregarded. As he spoke, the students around him all felt a torrent of emotions. When they looked towards Wang Baole, their eyes carried a look of excitement and agitation.

Jin Duozhi's explanation pumped up the spirits of those young students. Images of themselves stepping onto the clouds and devouring the heavens and earth appeared in their minds.

Soon, even those who initially questioned Wang Baole or were confused repented, and they were also filled with excitement. They all looked at Wang Baole with passion as they waited for him to impart his knowledge.

Jin Duozhi pumped up his chest proudly, bowing deeply at Wang Baole with cupped fists. When he raised his head, he announced loudly.

”Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dean!”

When he spoke, the students around him followed suit immediately. Instantly, voices spread in all directions and formed quite an astonishing sight.

Even Wang Baole was surprised. He had come up with the name without much thought and had never thought that it would be interpreted that way by Jin Duozhi.

Wang Baole wasn't the only one dumbfounded. Lin Tianhao, who was standing beside him, subconsciously made the decision to distance himself from Wang Baole after hearing the name of the cultivation technique. The teachers standing around were also confused initially, but now, after hearing Jin Duozhi's explanation, many of them hesitated. Jin Duozhi's explanation had somehow… made sense.

Wang Baole blinked his eyes and looked at Jin Duozhi, touched. He thought about what a talent he was, before clearing his throat and waving his hand.

”Since all of you have understood where I'm coming from, you should practice hard in the days to come. Four hundred of you will be eliminated, and the hundred of you that remain can be considered my disciples in the Federation in the future!” Wang Baole spoke proudly, and as his voice reverberated, the five hundred students grew even more agitated.

A passionate fire was burning in the eyes of the majority of students, though not everyone. Basking in the emotional atmosphere, Wang Baole was satisfied. When the area had been cordoned off completely, and when Lin Tianhao and company had left, Wang Baole began to impart the Heaven Devouring Skill to the students.

Even though the Heaven Devouring Skill, being a simplified version of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art, wouldn't lead to the formation of a devouring seed, it was still impressive in terms of suction force. That was especially so as it was easy to master without any significant difficulties.

This made the five hundred students all focus hard in order to remember the skill. They then began practicing. The effect of the Heaven Devouring Skill was astonishing, far exceeding that of the Qi Fostering Art. Anyone who managed to master it would immediately sense that the suction force that emerged from their bodies made the surrounding Spirit Qi charge towards them at several times the original speed.
