347 Self-Reliant Wang Baole (1/2)

I knew it! A Primary Rank Four Noble! Wang Baole started pacing in his office excitedly after he read the announcement. His eyes were shining with a bright greedy light, and his heart started racing. He wanted this new appointment in the New Mars Region so much.

He even remembered what the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College had said. To become a grand elder of a Dao College's Pavilion and a Primary Rank Four Noble, one needed to have Core Formation realm cultivation and sufficient experience. Time was also required for that to happen. All three conditions had to be met.

He had also been indirectly involved when Chen Yutong's teacher had fought from being a normal elder to become a grand elder. That took almost six months before he had finally acquired his promotion. He had fought and won against other competitors during the process.

That had been a challenge. A Pavilion's grand elder and the mayor of the New Mars Region might be both Primary Rank Four Nobles… but the extent of power they wielded was drastically different.

Wang Baole was overwhelmed with excitement at that thought. He studied the various ways to become a potential candidate carefully again. Then, he thought hard.

The selection criteria for becoming a candidate is obviously based on theory. If the theory passes the mark, the candidate will have to implement it and put it to the test in the Divine Armament Zone. This will be broadcasted live across the entire planet…

This means that baseless grand plans won't work. Even if one got through and became a candidate, if their theory can't be put into practice, they won't be able to rise to become the new city zone's mayor… what kind of proposal should I submit… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He thought for a long while. Then, his eyes flashed. A bold idea popped into his head!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Since we're going to implement this… why don't I use my Eternal Fortress blueprints, which I've worked so long on… as the proposal? Wang Baole's breath quickened at that thought. He had decided to build his own stronghold after he had seen and grown envious of Jin Duoming's stronghold. It took a great deal of his time and energy. He had even prepared quite a sizeable army of construction puppets.

This had been a hobby that had been a result of his own materialistic desires and his proficiency in refining. Now… as he read the announcement and went through the requirements, Wang Baole suddenly felt that nothing could beat submitting his own stronghold for the proposal.

I'm going to build something gigantic, that is both a stronghold and a city! Wang Baole's heartbeat started racing, and his eyes sparkled. He never thought there was a chance his stronghold would come to be of use when he had designed it. This was an unintentional boon. He couldn't help his excitement. This felt like predestination. It was as if he was fated to win this.

Seems like everything's been written in the stars. It's fated that, I, Wang Baole, will rise and leave an everlasting mark on Mars! Wang Baole burst out into laughter. He quickly pulled out the blueprints of his stronghold and made some modifications. He made up his mind; he was going to become the new mayor of the new city zone.

As Wang Baole went about his preparations, Kong Dao, Zhuo Yixian, Li Yi and the rest were also making their own preparations. They were all tempted by the newly created post for the New Mars Region and the important role it would play in the future. The political forces supporting them had also done their homework and were excited about their representatives becoming a candidate and potentially emerging as the new city zone's mayor.

This was true of the dominant political forces in the Federation as well. Even the Galactic Dusk Sect, which had been punished during the Mystic Luna Realm incident, decided to join in the fight. It had already started preparing so that it might emerge victorious this time.

The various political parties began their politicking and infighting. News of a New Mars Region incited heated debates throughout the entire Martian Colony City. There were discussions carried out on earth as well. Countless media agencies began reporting fervently on this news unanimously, as if they had received some message from the powers that be.

Time passed steadily as the debates grew more heated. Both the residents of Earth and Mars were following the news with great interest. As public attention on this matter reached a climax, the various political forces also completed their preparations. They had received the news earlier than the public and had utilized the entire establishment's resources. The structure and theory the proposal would be based on should be fairly sound, without any major flaws. Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses when it came to their proposals.

Wang Baole had also modified and perfected his proposal. He checked it a few times before confidently submitting his application. He had appended his proposal alongside the application.

He couldn't sit still at all after that. He followed the discussions regarding the new city zone that were taking place on Mars closely. He also contacted the people he knew to find out more information on what the other political forces were doing. He couldn't control his anxiety and fear over getting a candidacy.

Jin Duoming might be influential, but this really means too much to me. I don't feel safe with only his help… even if City Lord Lin has come into the picture and offered his help, it's still not a guaranteed placement… Wang Baole pondered for a moment. Then, he pulled out his voice transmission ring and contacted the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College.

As soon as the transmission connected, Wang Baole spoke hastily.

”Sect Lord, the Martian government just announced that they will be setting up a new city zone. Is it possible for you to help…” Wang Baole shared the details with the Sect Lord eagerly. The words poured out of his mouth in a rush. He revealed his desire to participate and was about to request the Sect Lord's aid. It was then that the Sect Lord's exasperated sigh drifted out from the voice transmission ring.

”Baole, don't participate in this matter…”
