361 A Grudge That Would Last Centuries (2/2)

Many political forces in the Federation fell into a dead silence. It was clear they felt sore about their defeat. The Five Generation Sky Clan, especially, gnashed their teeth as they watched Wang Baole. Zhuo Yixian's preparation might not compare to Li Yi's, but if he had been able to survive the early stages of the trial and complete his city model in the later stages of the trial, he still stood a good chance of winning.

Unfortunately… lifetimes of accumulated bad karma made him neighbors with Wang Baole. He had been sabotaged and his city model completely demolished and taken apart. He had been eliminated. The factors resulting in the other candidates' defeat were many, but Wang Baole was undeniably involved in their eventual elimination from the trials. He had disappeared and pretended he hadn't existed. His megaphones. That mysterious mystic technique that he used to terrorize the Beast Tide. All these antics he had conjured had driven the monsters headed for his zone into the zones of others.

From the beginning of the trial, the other candidates had been placed under stress much greater than that of Wang Baole. Li Yi and Kong Dao had been luckier than the rest. Their zones were further away from Wang Baole, and, as a result, they hadn't suffered as much collateral damage.

Kong Dao's luck had run out though. That was why only Wang Baole and Li Yi remained. If Wang Baole chose to give up now, Li Yi would become the new city zone's mayor.

The White Deer Dao College immediately contacted the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College. Their tone was no longer as harsh as it had been before. It toned down considerably. They tried to negotiate tactfully for Wang Baole to throw in the towel… in exchange, the White Deer Dao College was willing to arrange a posting for Wang Baole in the Federation Capital that was at the same Primary Rank Four Noble.

The Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College didn't even consider the proposal. He turned it down instantly. He knew Wang Baole's character. The young man wouldn't agree to something like that. A Primary Rank Four Noble in the capital city would be a mere deputy to the head of a key department. This couldn't compare with being the mayor of the New Mars Region. They were worlds apart.

He knew that if he presented the proposal to Wang Baole, he would lose his integrity as a Sect Lord! He would have been undeserving of his title!

The significance of him turning down the offer and Wang Baole turning down the offer was different. The consequences were different. He would rather the White Deer Dao College be displeased with him. He was, to a certain degree, trying to protect Wang Baole.

The conflict between White Deer Dao College and Ethereal Dao College played out. At the same time, on the battlefields of the New Mars Region, explosions rang in the air as the eighth wave of Beast Tide began!

The sixth wave hadn't yet been completely decimated, while the seventh wave was still going strong and attacking relentlessly. Li Yi and Wang Baole struggled to hold the fort, but the arrival of the eighth wave immediately turned the battlefield into a critical situation. Victory seemed to be in sight. The outcome of the trial was going to be decided! Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Li Yi started to panic. She poured her full concentration into keeping the city running. With the aid of her servants, the city's array formation suddenly unfurled to reveal three gigantic rings inside. They were intertwined with one another and spun ceaselessly!

The three giant rings spun rapidly and let loose an immense power. It seemed to be able to cut through anything. The surging Beast Tide was immediately stopped in its tracks. This didn't last for long, though. The outermost ring soon showed signs of cracking.

That's alright. I just have to hold on longer than the fatty! Li Yi gritted her teeth in the face of danger. She couldn't stop herself from sneaking a glance at Wang Baole. The sight that greeted her sent her trembling with shock. Her eyes widened. There was an incredulous look on her face.

This… this is simply…

Li Yi wasn't the only one stunned. Her servants, the anxious Federation residents watching the live stream, the powerful figures from the various political forces, and even the Martian Colony Governor and the giant tree were all… in shock. Many rose to their feet, gasping.

”Heavens. Wang Baole's Eternal Fortress…”

”This is…”

Tens of thousands of eyes stared in shock as Wang Baole stood atop his stronghold and pressed his fingers together into a series of hand seals. With a wave of his hands, his stronghold suddenly started rumbling. As countless monsters in the series of Beast Tides charged at him madly… the earth quaked and his stronghold… rose to the skies!
