329 Dark Fire (1/2)

The donkey was frightened, trembling vigorously. Its gleeful look had long vanished, and now, it hurriedly ran towards Wang Baole, revealing an innocent expression on its face as it rubbed its head on Wang Baole's legs. Finally, when it realized that it was useless, it decided to work to Wang Baole's favor.

Previously, before Wang Baole had established a connection with the donkey, he could only vaguely interpret its facial expressions. Now that a connection had formed, it became even more obvious to him. Now, Wang Baole simply sneered.

”No room for negotiation! Scram! Right, I'll call you 'Scram' from now on! How's that? If you disagree, call out twice.” Wang Baole coughed, looking askance at the little donkey.

The donkey seemed to have realized that the name Wang Baole gave it didn't carry a good connotation and began to grow anxious. It wanted to call out, but it was impossible with its mouth being clamped shut.

”Seems like you like this name very much. Since you have agreed to it, then your name shall be 'Scram' in the future!” Wang Baole delightedly patted his stomach and took out a bag of snacks right in front of the donkey, whose eyes widened as it watched Wang Baole slowly opening it and eating it in small mouthfuls.

The donkey was about to go crazy as it stared without blinking at the snacks in Wang Baole's hands. It was on the brink of breaking down, but no matter how it tried, its mouth remained shut.

Just like that, it stared stubbornly at Wang Baole for the whole duration as he ate his snacks. In the end, the donkey seemed to have lost all will to live, and it laid on the ground, dazedly looking at the empty bag that was placed in front of it.

Noticing that, Wang Baole's heart softened. However, when he recalled that the donkey always put on that very same expression after he had beaten it up before forgetting everything about the beating and continuing to have fun by itself, Wang Baole disregarded it coldly. He didn't bother with it and instead decided to begin cultivating now that there was finally peace.

Time flew by, and three days passed. In the three days, the students and teachers of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy were all confused, as the donkey that they were used to seeing seemed to have undergone a change in personality. It no longer called out, no longer pranced around, and no longer ate anything and everything in sight.

”There's something wrong with the donkey!”

”That's right, it passed by me just now while I was holding a Spirit Stone in my hand. However, it didn't even take a look at it…”

”There doesn't seem to be signs of the vegetation and buildings in the college being chewed on these few days…”

As more and more people realized that something was amiss, they quickly noticed that the donkey often laid on the bridge over the river of the academy and looked at the river water flowing, carrying a look of sadness in its eyes. Rumors began to spread continuously.

Some kind-hearted female students felt that the donkey looked pitiful. They brought some food to it, but when they placed the food in front of the donkey, it took a look at the food, smelled it, and actually cried!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

It cried very pitifully as it kept smelling it but not eating it.

”Go on, eat it.” One of the girls spoke softly. However, no matter how they tried to persuade it, the donkey didn't take a single bite. Eventually, it felt so sad that it kicked the food away, and then turned and charged towards Wang Baole's residence.

Right now, Wang Baole was in seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, he had specially approached the donkey to tell it that if it dared to disturb him during the period of seclusion, then the number of days which it had to keep its mouth shut would increase by ten.

Therefore, the donkey could only lay on the ground after returning to the residence. It looked at the sky pitifully, a look of hopelessness apparent in its eyes. It had lost a lot of weight. From time to time, it turned to look at the location where Wang Baole was in seclusion, seemingly waiting for Wang Baole to emerge, and for the day he would be freed from the restrictions.

As the donkey stayed obedient, Wang Baole, who was in the secret chamber, had also completed the cultivation for the second level of the Lightning Dao: First Volume. As his cultivation advanced, the Heavenly Thunder in his legs grew more powerful. With the devouring seed continuously absorbing Spirit Qi, the green lotus also grew stronger. The most obvious transformation was in Wang Baole's physique, as it seemed to have strengthened visibly from previously.

Sensing the strength emerging from his body, Wang Baole seemed to feel that without even activating his cultivation, he could kill a ferocious beast with just his fist!

However, he was still unsatisfied and somewhat troubled… In Wang Baole's mind, he felt that he had still not been able to successfully cultivate the Dark Art. That made him depressed, and doubts about his natural qualities arose in his head.

Little Missy said that she only spent a month to successfully cultivate the Dark Art. I have spent almost a year… Wang Baole felt a headache every time he thought of the Dark Art. He knew all that was possible about it and was extremely fluent in the chants that were involved. However, no matter how familiar he was with those, he was still unable to sense the so-called Negative Spirit Body.

That was especially so as every time he tried to forcefully train in the technique, extreme soreness and pain that he was unable to withstand emerged continuously both from within and outside his body.
