Chapter 104: Got it!

Wang Baole only had two choices—proceed or retreat!

If he chose to retreat, he would miss out on the eight-inch Spirit Root as he avoided the attacks from the six of them. However, this was also the goal of the six people, as they would never allow Wang Baole, who had interfered midway in the process, to snatch away the eight-inch Spirit Root right before their eyes.

Even if it was someone else and not Wang Baole, the six people would still have unleashed their wrath. They have been fighting intensely among themselves and categorically would not let other people succeed so easily!

However, if Wang Baole chose to proceed, he would have to showcase his incredible combat prowess in front of the six people who had collaborated against him.

Darn it! Why do I have to give way? I have the Golden Body and numerous Dharmic artifacts; and I’m not afraid of any of you! Wang Baole calmed down as he came to a decision. His eyes stared straight ahead, and he sped up even more.

As he charged forward, he waved his right hand strongly. Instantly, tens of small Dharmic artifact seals that had originally been stored in his storage bracelet were thrown out, followed by tens of flying swords that flew into the air at rapid speeds.

That was not the end. Wang Baole also threw out tens of ropes that gave off a Dharmic glow, directed straight at the six people!

At the same time, the purple dragon jade pendant, as well as tens of beads that could be transformed into Golden Bell Shields were thrown out by Wang Baole all at once. Lastly, he retrieved the combat glove that he had modified.

Instantly, he was fully equipped, with hundreds of Dharmic artifacts surrounding him, boosting the frightening vibe that he gave off!

If that was the end, it still would have been insufficient to showcase Wang Baole’s determination. With his gaze revealing a look of determination, he showcased his most powerful trick!

“Puppets!”

With a wave of his hand, Wang Baole retrieved hundreds of puppets that formed a human wall in front of him. They marched like a military contingent toward the six people, appearing like roaring, crashing waves.

After that, Wang Baole let out a loud growl before riding on the golden Blood Qi ocean behind him, charging fiercely toward the eight-inch Spirit Root with power akin to the combination of torrential winds and lightning.

“The Spirit Root is mine, and don’t any of you think of taking it from me! Are you gonna make way or not?”

Looking from afar, one could see the entire space filled with uncountable numbers of puppets and Dharmic artifacts. Within the Ancient Martial realm, they looked immensely impressive, shocking everyone who saw the assembly.

The scene made Li Yi and company worried. Their heads felt numb—Wang Baole’s Dharmic artifacts were just too much to handle. Coupled with Wang Baole’s determination that made him willing to bet everything he had, everyone was shocked breathless.

“Are you crazy, Wang Baole? What’s the point of fighting so hard? This isn’t the only eight-inch Spirit Root around here!”

Not only was Li Yi confused, even Wu Fen, Qian Meng, the black-faced youth, and the others could not wrap their heads around the situation. Wang Baole seemed to have gone overboard in his response toward their attacks, inevitably making them doubtful and injecting them with hesitation.

However, with the eight-inch Spirit Root before their eyes, giving up was not an option. Wu Fen immediately bit the tip of his tongue and spurted a mouthful of fresh, crimson blood. As he moved, the blood was transformed yet again into a Blood Qi hand, boosting his attack.

Li Yi and others also gritted their teeth and attacked again. In that instant, their cultivation techniques and Dharmic artifacts, as well as the poisonous fog and the spell arrays, fought head on with Wang Baole’s contingent of Dharmic artifacts and puppets.

A deafeningly loud roar was produced and reverberated at that very moment, spreading in all directions. It travelled into the ears of the students from the four major Dao Colleges in the vicinity. As they reeled in shock, the tens of ropes that Wang Baole possessed were immediately released at the epicenter of the battle!

The ropes had been improvised by Wang Baole. The first wrapped themselves around Wu Fen’s Blood Qi hand before exploding, causing the hand to tear and disintegrate with the impact that it created.

After that, the flying swords that were under the control of the magnetic force flew at unbelievable speeds. They were all carved with self-imploding inscriptions, and once they were in contact with other objects, they would immediately pierce them and immediately implode to cause a second wave of damage.

Under Wang Baole’s deft control, they locked onto Li Yi’s fire jade pendant. It was loud, and no matter how ruthless the fire jade pendant was, it could not withstand the impact of the flying swords’ implosion and unbelievable speed. Accompanied by the sound of impact, the fire jade pendant was extinguished, and even though it did not break apart, it was hurled far away by the flying swords.

As for the tens of small seals, their target was not the black-faced youth, Li Feng, nor Chen Lingyi, but Qian Meng!

Wang Baole was deeply fearful and concerned about Qian Meng’s poisonous fog. As the small seals approached the poisonous fog, they imploded, too, transforming into raging winds that swept furiously, dissipating the poisonous fog, and revealing innumerable poisonous insects. However, most of the poisonous insects had already been torn apart, and those that remained were all wriggling and squirming.

“Wang Baole, are you using Dharmic artifacts, or are you using bombs?” Li Yi and the others shouted angrily. All of Wang Baole’s Dharmic artifacts were equipped with the power to implode, making each of them extremely dejected.

Going solo against the six of them using the combat technique of explosion was so swift that one could barely register it with their eyes. After Wang Baole’s Dharmic artifacts held off three of them, his puppets formed a human wall, directly clashing with Li Feng and Chen Lingyi’s flying sword numinous treasures as well as the black-faced youth’s array spells.

There were just too many puppets, making them effective not only in blocking the impact but also powerful in charging straight ahead at the others as they spread out. The puppets were extremely hardy and could still move even when damaged. At that moment, chaos fell upon the scene, making the students anxious and frustrated.

It was at this moment that Wang Baole’s figure towered above the Golden Bell Shield. Coupled with the protection by the purple dragon, he could resist the impact of the other’s Dharmic artifacts closing in on him on both sides. He suddenly burst with extreme speed and appeared in front of the eight-inch Spirit Root within the blink of an eye.

“Don’t fight with me. After I’m done, I’ll treat everyone to a good meal. I’ll take this eight-inch Spirit Root, alright?” Wang Baole said as he laughed heartily. His goal had been to obtain the eight-inch Spirit Root since the start. He had attacked simply because he wanted to block Li Yi and company. In the midst of the chaos, he launched an attack on the eight-inch Spirit Root directly.

The eight-inch Spirit Root was strong, but it had previously been injured. Furthermore, Dharmic artifacts from both parties had hit it in areas where it had no protection. It had long been severely injured and showed signs of breaking down.

As Wang Baole attacked, cracks began to appear throughout the eight-inch Spirit Root’s entire body. Seeing that it was about to break apart, Wang Baole excitedly threw a strong punch directly on the eight-inch Spirit Root’s chest. He was confident that the Spirit Root would definitely break apart upon impact of his punch!

Li Yi and the rest were troubled and anxious. Right at this moment, a flash of viciousness flashed across the eyes of the black-faced youth from White Deer Branch College. He retrieved an ancient array formation compass and pressed his right hand hard on it.

“Body, seal!”

As he finished his exclamation, torrential winds instantly erupted from the compass. The black-faced youth’s hair ruffled in the winds, and the surrounding Spirit Qi raged, forming an invisible ocean closing in from all directions toward Wang Baole as if they would be further transformed into a trapping seal.

Wang Baole jumped in surprise as he had never expected this counter-attack from the black-faced youth.

That was not the end. With fresh blood flowing out from the corner of his lips, the black-faced youth growled in a low voice once again.

“Dharma, seal!”

Spirit Qi erupted again, this time, not toward Wang Baole but toward the center of the compass. It spread in all directions and seemed to disrupt and sever the connections between the puppets and the inscriptions on their Spirit Kernels. The puppets vibrated furiously before being paralyzed and frozen in their movements.

The five others instantly perked up. They all rose and charged toward Wang Baole.

“There’s still this method?” Wang Baole took a deep breath. Even though he was equipped with combat capabilities that could battle a True Breath expert, he did not possess the True Breath’s ability of suppression. Therefore, he had never been full of himself nor belittled these talents from the other Dao Colleges. His gaze shimmered, and Wang Baole exhaled deeply. The golden Blood Qi ocean emanating from his body instantly erupted, going head on with the Spirit Qi that were rushing in from all directions due to the seal!

Under this impact, the Wang Baole’s golden glow became even more blinding. As it spread in all directions, a loud boom spread from around him. As it resisted the seal, Wang Baole did not stop even for a moment and took the chance to punch the eight-inch Spirit Root hard in the chest.

“Break!”

Bang!

When Li Yi and the others arrived, the eight-inch Spirit Root broke down, transforming into copious amounts of green fog. It followed the path of Wang Baole’s fist and entered his body!

It replaced the seven-inch Spirit Root. Within his dantian, the eight-inch Spirit Root took its place!

Feeling the eight-inch Spirit Root within his body, Wang Baole laughed heartily before stowing the remaining Dharmic artifacts and puppets into his storage bracelet, turning around, and running away.

“Let’s not fight. Fellow Students, I, Wang Baole, will keep my promise. After we leave, I’ll treat you to a big meal, and you can get whatever you want! I’m from the Dharmic Armament faculty, so I’m loaded!”

Listening to Wang Baole’s words and seeing the eight-inch Spirit Root being absorbed before his eyes, the black-faced youth was extremely disappointed. He sighed and put the compass away, giving up on further battle.

“Wang Baole! Who cares about the meal?” Li Yi shouted angrily, but she too stopped in her tracks. She was indignant, but she also realized that at this stage, she could only accept it.

Wu Fen was also dejected, and Qian Meng paused with an awful expression on her face as she stared fiercely at Wang Baole’s back. Even though Wang Baole had snatched away the eight-inch Spirit Root, the short battle that had taken place just now had allowed all of them to witness Wang Baole’s prowess. They all knew that if they were to get into a solo battle with him, none of them would be a worthy opponent.

“That fatty is really too strong. He has so many Dharmic artifacts, and it’s impossible to fight him!” Li Feng and Chen Lingyi could only laugh bitterly. They looked at each other before sighing and turning around to continue their search for other eight-inch Spirit Roots.
