582 The Top Person! (2/2)
As he stepped forward, he seemed to have crossed into thin air from the mountains. His body turned blurry, starting from his legs. When his limbs and body had vanished completely, the trial that everyone in the Dao Palace had placed great emphasis on was concluded!
Wang Baole saw nothing but a blur. When the teleportation ended, and as everything before his eyes regained clarity, he saw the unique appearance of the Dao Palace's skies, the Sea of Fire in the distance, the great hall at the peak of the mountain, and the gazes that everyone had laid on him as he stood in the public square!
Of those people, there was Zhou Chudao, Dugu Lin, and others whom he had defeated, as well as Zhao Yameng, Kong Dao, and the other Federation Seedlings. However, regardless of whether Wang Baole knew them or not, at that moment, their eyes were all on him. That was the case for those Nascent Soul realm cultivators, as well as Mie Liezi and company.
There was silence in the public square.
Even though Wang Baole was from the Federation, he had managed to demonstrate a combat power that deeply shocked most Dao Palace disciples, many of whom were elites themselves. However, there were still a few of them who felt jealous of Wang Baole, though they didn't show it on their faces. After all, right now, Wang Baole was different from before!
It wasn't an exaggeration to call him the top person after defeating Zhou Chudao and Dugu Lin!
Even those Nascent Soul realm cultivators looked at Wang Baole with a profound look in their eyes. Without a doubt, the wave that had been produced from the battle between Wang Baole and Dugu Lin had surpassed that of the Core Formation realm and had reached the standards of the Nascent Soul realm!
They respected such an elite. Even Mie Liezi, who was looking extremely solemn, carried a look of appreciation towards Wang Baole when he looked at him. However, he still felt regret and pity that such a talent didn't belong to his lineage.
As for Daoist You Ran, he had his eyes closed while smiling. No one knew what he was thinking about in his mind.
Amidst everyone's silence, Wang Baole took a slow, deep breath before bowing deeply with cupped fists at Feng Qiuran and company who were in the higher seats!
His greeting made Feng Qiuran feel a torrent of emotions. She stood up immediately, and Mie Liezi also rose slowly while sighing, followed by Daoist You Ran. With the three of them standing up, the Nascent Soul realm cultivators also followed suit, and that was the same for all the other disciples who were around!
”Ring the bell!” Feng Qiuran spoke without waiting for Mie Liezi. If it were some other scenario, Mie Liezi would definitely be displeased. However, right now, the fact that he didn't say anything meant that he silently approved of Feng Qiuran's action.
”Congratulations to my disciple, Wang Baole, for placing first in the trial for the Hyacinthus Tree leaves. You will be given three Hyacinthus Tree leaves and can distribute them according to your own preferences!” Feng Qiuran smiled warmly as the ringing of the bell reverberated throughout the entire Dao Palace.
The sound of the bell was loud and spread in all directions. That caused ripples in Wang Baole's heart, who had become the center of attention of the masses. He looked at Zhao Yameng and company and smiled, before greeting Feng Qiuran and company with cupped fists again!
”Thank you, Elders!”
As Wang Baole spoke, cheers erupted from the Federation Seedlings. The cheers reverberated, and the other Dao Palace disciples recovered from the silence as well. They experienced different emotions as they began to talk, and some of them even took the initiative to begin a conversation with the Federation Seedlings. Amidst the buzzing activity on the public square, Xie Haiyang, who was within the crowd, also began to reap his gains from the bets that he had made with excitement.
Someone also brought up the three bowls that Xie Haiyang had turned over back then. Xie Haiyang laughed and flipped the first bowl over. There was a jade slip under the bowl, and the words 'Wang Baole' were written on it!
Then, the second and third bowl were also turned over. Similarly, the words 'Wang Baole' were also written on them!
