538 A Shocked Federation (1/2)

Wang Baole was extremely pleased with himself. He found that his endearment ”Little Duanmu” ran off his lips really smoothly. It was impossible to know how Wang Baole judged it to be so. Regardless, he firmly believed that his promotion to Federation President was guaranteed. It was an inevitability. His confidence led him to believe that there was nothing wrong with him addressing the president as Little Duanmu.

Wang Baole grew incredibly excited at that thought. He waved his hand. The disciples guarding the teleportation array formation stared with wide eyes and open mouths as he spent fifteen thousand battle credits and sent fifteen sets of cultivation techniques back to the Federation!

Fifteen thousand battle credits was a huge sum of wealth to those disciples guarding the teleportation array formation. Their breathing quickened instantly. Their eyes grew red. They could only manage to scramble together a few hundred credits after a month's hard work. That was before they took into account their expenses for the month. After that, they were generally left with only a few credits.

The fact that Wang Baole was so wealthy made them feel incredulous. They could taste bitter jealousy in their mouths at the sight of such wealth.

”So what if he's rich!”

”That's right. So what if they have a bit of money. Doesn't mean a thing. I heard that the Federation Seedlings would resort to anything to earn battle credits. I heard of this person called Li Yi. She's even more despicable. She actually seduced the island lord of the island she was assigned to!”

”Your news is outdated. I've heard of her as well. She didn't stop at one. I heard she's seduced at least seven or eight of them!”

Filled with jealousy, the disciples on guard began to exchange voice transmissions to vent their anger. They watched as the teleportation array formation erupted with a startling, blinding light, and teleported all fifteen jade slips away in the blink of an eye.

Beyond the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, within the same Solar System where the ancient greenish-bronze sword rested, Li Xingwen sat cross-legged next to and guarded the array formation on Mercury. His eyes opened, and an image of Duan Muque appeared at the same time.

They had experienced this before. In addition, they had received cultivation techniques from Federation Seedlings during this past six months. They had grown accustomed to this. They got excited as soon as they sensed waves of spirit energy rising from the array formation.

”How many will they send over this time?”

”Speaking of that. The girl, Li Yi, has done quite well. She's sent over five sets of cultivation techniques. She could be said to be the cream of the crop for this batch of Federation Seedlings!” Duan Muque laughed aloud. Pleased and consoled, he glanced at Li Xingwen.

Li Xingwen snorted and didn't say a word. Wang Baole hadn't sent over a single cultivation technique during the past six months. Li Yi, on the other hand, had been sending one over every month. The comparison was simply too stark. Even if he wanted to show support for Wang Baole, there was really nothing much he could do.

What's that rascal doing up there! Li Xingwen frowned. Even though Li Yi was also from the four Dao Colleges, and her contributions had lent greater weight to the Dao Colleges' opinions in the Federation, she was a graduate from the White Deer Dao College. She wasn't of the Ethereal Dao College. Li Xingwen, who had shifted his loyalties to the Ethereal Dao College after he had retired from his position as Federation President, didn't feel comfortable with that at all.

However, his discomfort was his own business. He still very much approved of Li Yi's performance. After all, the techniques that she had been sending back to the Federation for the past few months had contributed to their cultivation civilization.

”Based on the timing, this should be from that girl, Li Yi.” Duan Muque smiled slightly. He especially enjoyed seeing the dark, sullen look on Li Xingwen's face. Even though he was now the president, he had graduated from the White Deer Dao College. He clearly approved of White Deer Dao College graduates' exemplary performances.

As he said that, the teleportation array formation shone once again. A jade slip appeared inside the array formation. Duan Muque's eyes shone with approval and consolation. He was about to continue speaking when a second jade slip appeared.

”Hmm? Li Yi's done a good job this time. She actually sent two…” Duan Muque was immediately overjoyed. However, before he could finish speaking, a third, then fourth, then fifth jade slip appeared!

The sight stunned the typically level-headed Duan Muque. Then, he burst out into laughter.

”Seems like a few of them are sending over cultivation techniques at one go. These kids are still too young. Don't they know how much attention they would attract?” Duan Muque shook his head. Li Xingwen's eyes started shining intensely. He had a different opinion of what was going on. He could sense that the spirit energy coming from the array formation wasn't diminishing but growing stronger. He suddenly said.
