345 An Ass for a Teammate (2/2)
He's grown stronger! Kong Dao's breathing grew uneven. He knew what had happened to Wang Baole on the moon. Even so, he had thought himself as powerful as Wang Baole then. At present, his eyes grew red. He growled and, as if transformed into a beast, charged towards Wang Baole again. His right hand raised in the air. With a sudden wave, it transformed into black claws!
The claws looked lethal. It was difficult to tell what they were made of. The murderous aura exuding from Kong Dao grew stronger when they appeared. His spirit energy roared and rose to the skies, and a black leopard appeared behind him!
The powerful presence of a Dharmic Armament could be sensed from the claws. The claws were… a Dharmic Armament!
Wang Baole wasn't surprised at all that Kong Dao had a Dharmic Armament. Dharmic Armaments were rare and precious, but they weren't unobtainable for people like Kong Dao and Li Wan'er.
Power exploded from Kong Dao with the reveal of his Dharmic Armament. He seemed to have merged with the black leopard behind him. With a sudden burst of speed, they charged at Wang Baole. Kong Dao sent his claws slashing at Wang Baole's neck!
You think you're the only one with a Dharmic Armament? Wang Baole snorted. His Dharmic Armament saber appeared instantly. With a low growl, he collided with Kong Dao.
Explosions kept resounding the air. The backlash from their blows surged outwards and sent the ground quaking. Everyone in the academy was shaken to their core. Everyone held their breaths as Wang Baole and Kong Dao exchanged more than a dozen blows.
Kong Dao was a powerful warrior. He had a Dharmic Armament and had displayed a sudden explosive power at first. However, his stamina, physical resilience, and strength couldn't compare to Wang Baole's, which was bolstered by his Green lotus Foundation Establishment core. After a dozen or so blows, Wang Baole remained strong while Kong Dao was seeing a slide in his strength and stamina. Wang Baole tirelessly wielded his saber and continued to attack relentlessly. Kong Dao's breathing grew more and more uneven under the barrage of blows. His eyes shone with incredulity. He was unwilling to give up, but he could only retreat steadily under the relentless attack.
Damn it, how did this freak get his physical body to be so strong? Kong Dao hollered inwardly. He watched as Wang Baole unleashed the full power of his Dharmic Armament repeatedly and was steadily overcome by an indescribable feeling. Even though Foundation Establishment realm cultivators had the ability to unleash the full power of Dharmic Armaments, they could generally only keep it up for a dozen attacks or so.
They weren't Core Formation realm cultivators, who could unleash the power of Dharmic Armaments infinitely without rest. There was a backlash from wielding a Dharmic Armament. It was a strain on the physical body. Kong Dao himself had confidence in his own physical resilience, but even he could only wield the Dharmic Armament for a dozen or so attacks. Wang Baole had sent almost a hundred blows at him, but his pace wasn't slowing down a bit. Instead, he seemed to grow stronger with each attack.
Kong Dao had his ultimate attack though. He fell back, and his breath stilled suddenly. There was hesitation in his eyes as he deliberated over whether he should unleash his ultimate attack. It was then that he sensed something amiss. He turned his head abruptly and started looking all around. His white donkey had gone missing…
Wang Baole realized something was wrong as well. He continued wielding his saber as his eyes scanned the area. Both of their gazes soon landed a distance away at the school gates… the black donkey had the white donkey by the neck and was happily racing away…
While the two had been in fierce battle, the black donkey had snuck up and knocked the white donkey out again. It had then dragged the white donkey away…
Kong Dao almost went mad when he saw that. He howled and ignored Wang Baole, turning and racing towards the black donkey. Wang Baole had a strange look on his face, one intermingled with a sense of exasperation.
I'm here cleaning up after the trouble you've made while you seem to be enjoying yourself… this is just… what an ass!
Wang Baole simmered in frustration. He sighed as he watched Kong Dao chase after the donkeys and had half a mind to watch them go, but in the end, he stomped his feet and went after them. The black donkey seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and with great reluctance, it dropped the white donkey and wormed into an underground canal, making its escape.
Kong Dao was no longer in the mood to fight Wang Baole. He glared at Wang Baole, as if he was searing this grudge deep in his heart, before forcing his anger down and bringing his white donkey away.
What the hell was all that about? Wang Baole was furious as well. He stared at the direction his donkey had escaped, then smirked. He returned to his residence and waited for the donkey to come back.
