358 Deterrence! (2/2)

Even if Wang Baole didn't become the mayor of the New Mars Region eventually, the thought of revealing his secrets in public still made those who carried the intent hesitate.

After all, no one who achieved their current position was a fool. Even if they were momentarily consumed by ridiculous thoughts, they soon got a grip of themselves…

The reality was that there was an entirely different meaning to finding out the secret through one's own effort and revealing everything in public. Everyone wanted to be in possession of the secret, and that made it difficult for everyone to join forces. The matter should never be exposed, even if a consensus was reached, or if there was an agreement for someone to act. Otherwise, it would become an indelible mark if people from the Federation were to know about it.

This was a matter that people of higher status, cultivation, and dreams, should never get themselves involved in.

Furthermore, Wang Baole had quite a background… To a certain extent, it could be said that once he became the mayor of the New Mars Region, those who had the intention to risk it would have no choice but to give up on their plans.

In reality, Wang Baole also knew well that he was taking a risk this time around. However, through his evaluation, he concluded that nothing was certain in life. Therefore, there was no harm to risk it during certain crucial turning points in life!

If I win, I would have made a giant leap towards becoming the mayor of the New Mars Region. If I lose, I will just quietly return to the Dao College and suck up to the Grand Supreme Elder. On the battleground, Wang Baole lifted his head and looked in all directions. He felt for his storage bag, which contained three sculptures that he had created.

One was of the Federation President Duan Muque, the other was the Grand Supreme Elder, while the last was that of the Martian Colony Governor. That was the escape route he had thought for himself. If anyone were to ask him about what happened today, he would showcase the three sculptures, and say an obvious but irrefutable lie.

Whatever, I, Wang Baole, do, will be full proof! Wang Baole was delighted as he felt the frightening vibe that he had attracted slowly dissipating. He was more than accustomed to that feeling.

As he thought about how he had only bellowed out two words but could result in such a strong and frightening force erupting, Wang Baole felt that with a simple snap of his fingers, the capabilities he exhibited were to be feared. He didn't care much about the nagging feeling that seemed to be waking him up somewhere in the depths of the cosmos.

However, if I use this trick too many times, would it really awaken? Wang Baole, who was in a state of delight, suddenly harbored this thought. He got a shock, but when he thought of Little Missy who was always accurate and truthful in her words telling him that everything was fake, he slightly heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was still fearful and planned to confirm the theory with Little Missy after the assessment concluded.

Otherwise, every time I chant the sutra, it would be like slapping an asleep person before running away, then returning to slap them again… The more Wang Baole thought about it, the more nervous he grew, and he decided not to ponder over the matter anymore. Right now, as he watched the Beast Tide shunning away from his territory and approaching the zones belonging to the other candidates, Wang Baole felt that he was safe. He kept his Dharmic Armament, and calmly and arrogantly walked back to his base, his hands behind his back.

The moment he returned, he immediately activated some of his puppets and directed them towards the bases of the eliminated candidates, furiously tearing down and moving their belongings as others watched on.

At the same time, Li Yi's shock was slowly transformed into hatred as the Beast Tide arrived, and as she watched Wang Baole shamelessly tearing down everything. However, she was helpless and could only try to resist with all her might.

The Beast Tide this time, however, was extremely powerful. Very soon, the base of one candidate was destroyed, and he had no choice but to crush the jade slip and get transported away.

Wang Baole grew agitated as he witnessed what happened. He activated some puppets again to continue the process of tearing down and transporting the resources. In order to prevent the Beast Tide from interrupting the puppets, Wang Baole gave his all and made his way there personally, while chanting the Dao sutra…

Just like this, the entire process was extremely smooth. As others resisted the beasts while cursing under their breaths, Wang Baole successfully emptied two bases and began to construct his own base furiously.

Until now, there were only half of the original ten candidates left resisting the Beast Tide. Amongst them, other than Li Yi, Kong Dao, and Wang Baole, the remaining two were finding it hard to withstand it. Eventually, one of them could no longer hold on, and even before Wang Baole could send his puppets to the base, and even before the current Beast Tide ended, the sixth Beast Tide suddenly began!

In the loud boom, within the Divine Armament Catacombs, more ferocious beasts emerged, covering a larger area than before as they roared!

It was at this moment that Wang Baole had finally gotten sufficient resources to construct the stronghold that was suitable for combat. As loud clanging noises reverberated within the base, this gigantic block-like stronghold suddenly let out loud booms.

It was in operation!

Wang Baole was revitalized. He raised his right hand and pointed towards the incoming Beast Tide in the distance.

”Eternal Fortress, suppress them!”
