565 This is... the Legendary Thearch Armor Inheritance! (1/2)

Initially, no one on the public square in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace would have willingly paid attention to Wang Baole and his team. The most they would do might be to spare a passing glance as their eyes browsed past other projections.

That was why even though the spectators could see the aerial map as well, not many noticed when their three keys turned to six. Only the group of Federation Seedlings that had gathered at the periphery of the public square had their eyes fixed constantly on the images showing Wang Baole's team.

They had seen with their own eyes when Wang Baole had charged out, how he had struck instantly, broken the legs of three disciples from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and doubled their number of keys. They had been invigorated by the scene, but they hadn't made a loud fuss. Even Li Yi had been silent. They had already realized the key to this trial from Wang Baole's team.

Then, they had seen the battle between Wang Baole and Li Bin's party. They had seen the terrifying blood-colored meridians and Wang Baole's brutal massacre. The sight had made their breathing turn uneven and quick, and they had grown agitated. That had drawn the attention of the surrounding disciples from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

Wang Baole's massacre had ended by the time the disciples who had noticed something strange was going on had looked over. However, on the aerial map, Wang Baole's team's keys had increased from six to thirteen keys. The discovery of that… caught many people's attention. They gasped in shock!

”The keys held by the participants from the Federation… their numbers have increased!”

”Hmm? Thirteen keys! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I haven't been paying attention. How did they suddenly get so many keys without anyone's notice!”

”Something's not right here!”

The gasps of shock drew more people's attention. Soon, increasingly more disciples in the public square had their eyes on the projection showing Wang Baole's team. They were all stunned by the thirteen keys. Currently… in the trial, the participant with the greatest number of keys was Dugu Lin. He had more than forty keys!

The next person with the most number of keys was Zhou Chudao and the other prodigies. Each had two dozen keys or so. Their presences were extremely visible on the map. Wang Baole's team… with their number of keys, actually placed six!

To possess so many keys in such a chaotic situation was seen as an unwise move by many. It had a great likelihood of drawing too much attention. Despite their shock, most of them shook their head secretly. Many, who looked down on the Federation, displayed scorn and mockery on their faces openly.

That was why no one had really paid attention to Wang Baole's violent murders. Even Mie Liezi himself was the same. After all… there were six hundred projections. It was impossible to pay attention to all of them at the same time. Those who had lost their keys, especially, had vanished from the map. They typically found a hiding spot and stayed there without moving a single inch.

The matter couldn't be hidden for long though, especially with more people paying attention to Wang Baole. They wanted to see how their factions had been robbed of their keys. Wang Baole's strength and power were exposed. The spectators saw with their own eyes as he attacked instantly, injuring four participants heavily and snatching another four keys. That brought the tally to seventeen keys. Many spectators caught those scenes. Soon, a wave of shocked gasps stronger than the previous erupted in the spectating crowd.

”This Wang Baole is hiding his true strength!”

”He only took three seconds to crush four other cultivators at the same level as him, at the mid-stage Core Formation realm. Heavens!”

With the rising commotion, Feng Qiuran, Mie Liezi, and many other Nascent Soul realm cultivators began to notice the strange happenings occurring around Wang Baole. They were all taken aback. Feng Qiuran, especially, was stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at a screen. Wang Baole and his team were racing forward.

”Wang Baole? That's quite interesting…” Mie Liezi said suddenly. He raised his right hand and pointed. Suddenly, amongst the many screens showing what the disciples from Feng Qiuran's faction were doing, the one showing Wang Baole's team expanded in size. It took up half the entirety of the vortex. Mie Liezi waved his right hand, and the image began to rewind. The events that had taken place since Wang Baole's team had entered the trial and everything that had happened after were being replayed!

Everyone's eyes zoomed onto the enlarged screen. They saw Wang Baole strike and break the legs of those three cultivators, and Wang Baole's battle with Li Bin!

They saw with their own eyes the blood-colored meridians extending out from Wang Baole's body and his massacre of the other participants. A wave of shock and fury instantly erupted amongst the spectators. Many got to their feet and began shouting.

”What cultivation technique is that?”
