363 A Primary Rank Four Nobleship! (1/2)
The trial for the New Mars Region ended. It had been an exhilarating and heart-stopping watch filled with exciting moments for the Federation residents who had been watching the trial from the start to the end.
Wang Baole had monopolized the limelight almost from the beginning. He had drawn the eyes of many viewers since his appearance and held them captive throughout the entire trial.
The Federation masses had gained a greater understanding of Wang Baole. They had seen a fatty who dug a hole and buried himself, a Dharmic Armament cultivator who used his wits and gigantic megaphones to fight against the Beast Tides, and a jerk who muttered to himself and kicked his donkey. They had also seen him face the beasts alone and rush into the beast hordes, slaying the leader of the Beast Tide…
They had seen a striking figure who unleashed a mysterious mystic technique that terrorized the beast hordes, the spectacular attacks from the Eternal Fortress, and finally… the most memorable sight that they had seen was Wang Baole… casting aside his teleportation jade slip, leaving himself with no escape and emerging victorious from the battle!
Wang Baole's grim, almost brutal, determination had been fully displayed before the entire Federation populace. They hadn't been the only ones moved. The powerful warriors from the other political forces had been silenced by his action.
A singular thought rose in their minds… unless it were the only option available to them, it would be unwise to offend such a character.
They also recalled what had happened in the lunar incident. They might have had some things to say about that or had their doubts regarding the matter then. But now, after they had placed the lunar incident next to what had happened in the trial, they were left with a clear and deep understanding… this Wang Baole was someone who was willing to put his life on the line!
In a time of peace, such a man would either die or suffer a boring, mundane life. In the current Spirit Inception Era though… he would rise to become a hero!
Wang Baole hadn't yet fully grown into his own. However, now that he had emerged victorious in the trial, he would become the mayor of the New Mars Region and a Primary Rank Four Noble. He was going to become an important figure in the Federation. Once he reached the Core Formation realm… he would undoubtedly rise to become one of the powerful personalities in the Federation!
As the entire Federation was overcome by emotion, Wang Baole remained inside the New Mars Region. He noticed Li Yi's teleportation but had no time for joy or relief. He retreated hastily while shrieking at the top of his voice.
”Save me, Governor!”
His scream was sudden and high pitched. The speed he was fleeing was much greater than any speed he had displayed earlier. He kept shouting as he ran away.
”Quick, save me! I'm the mayor of the new city zone. This is going to be embarrassing for Mars if I die!
”Governor, come save me, quick…”
The scene stunned everyone who had still been dwelling on the earlier intense battle. The expression on their faces froze. It was as if they had just mistaken a dog for a person… the immense impression that Wang Baole had left them when he had stared death fiercely in the eye had been too great and shocking. His transformation had been so sudden they couldn't get used to it…
That alone would have been fine, but Wang Baole, upon seeing the Core Formation realm beast's relentless pursuit as he ran away, panicked. He maneuvered another page to crash down and explode in the hopes of slowing the beast down. Then, he grabbed his donkey and jumped onto its back.
The donkey was used to such treatment. It kicked its hooves and sprinted away, desperate and fleeing for its life. It was just that… the Federation populace wasn't aware that the donkey was used to this. When they saw what Wang Baole had done… there was an odd expression on their faces. Wang Baole's figure was so shapely that one could hardly see the donkey after he sat on it…
”My heart goes out to the donkey…”
The tens of thousands of families across the entire Federation didn't know whether to laugh or cry. An indescribable feeling emerged in these ordinary folks' hearts. They didn't even realize that when they had been looking at Wang Baole with admiration and respect, they had also been feeling an unbreachable distance between Wang Baole and themselves.
But now, as they watched Wang Baole yelling for help and bullying his donkey, it was like they were looking at their neighboring family's kid. A sudden warmth and sense of familiarity surged inside each ordinary citizen.
They liked the little fatty.
The Governor didn't know whether to laugh or cry either. She had half a mind to delay rescue to punish Wang Baole. This was being broadcast live to the entire Federation. His shrieking and cries for help were an absolute embarrassment. After all, he was… the mayor of the New Mars Region, a Primary Rank Four Noble.
