Chapter 218: I Am Honest and Friendly

Wang Baole disregarded the gaze of the surrounding people on him. With his hands crossed behind his back, he looked at Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng, who had both realized where the problem lay and were looking at him.

Wang Baole cleared his throat before speaking with embarrassment amidst the painful screams and angry roars emerging from around him.

“Well… Yifan, Yameng, we are pals… You understand…”

The moment Wang Baole spoke, the surrounding people who were scratching their itches shouted loudly at him with anger in their eyes.

“Wang Baole, you’re shameless!”

“Wang Baole, this is not the end!”

“Shameless and despicable! Wang Baole, I will never forgive you!” Li Yi and company were also screaming angrily amongst the crowd.

Established grudges mixed with the newly formed hatred and erupted, spreading in all directions.

Zhuo Yifan laughed bitterly, looking at all the angry people who couldn’t stop scratching themselves. He heard a soft buzzing sound reach his ears, and he decisively sat down on the floor with his legs crossed.

Zhao Yameng took a deep breath. Even though she had always been calm, she couldn’t resist staring at Wang Baole before choosing to sit down as well.

In the entire Public Square, Wang Baole was the only person standing amongst the hundreds of seedlings from the Federation. He turned his head quickly and energetically, looking at the elder and the two officers who were dumbfounded, and shouted loudly, “Sir, sir! There’s no need to wait until sunset. All of them have fallen, and I have won!”

The two officers both carried weird facial expressions as they looked at the people all around them and then back at Wang Baole. The elder, who witnessed the situation, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing Wang Baole’s words, the Federation seedlings all around him grew even more furious as they scratched their trembling bodies and roared angrily.

“This doesn’t count! This is not the end!”

“Sir, Wang Baole cheated!”

Different voices emerged, and Wang Baole raised an eyebrow as he looked at the people around him who were scratching themselves. He raised his hands in irritation.

“My fellow Daoist, what’s the point of this? I am kind hearted and certainly don’t wish to do anything that would hurt all of you. I…” Wang Baole was speaking with emotion when a long-faced youth from the Five Generation Sky Clan shouted at him loudly with anger in his voice.

“Shut up, Wang Baole! These shameless methods will not give you victory. Evil will never emerge victorious over justice. The rules have listed sunset as the deadline, and the time is still not up. We can still stand!” The long-faced youth roared as he scratched himself more forcefully. His eyes were turning red. If his gaze could kill, Wang Baole would no doubt have died.

Seeing how the emotions he had been trying to build up were disrupted, Wang Baole looked over and immediately recognized that the person who was shouting was the one who had been scornful towards him the night before. He hummed and raised his right hand, pointing towards the long-faced youth. Immediately, nine mosquitoes charged swiftly towards the youth.

“No!” As the long-faced youth screamed in shock, the nine mosquitoes neared at an extremely fast speed, sweeping towards him and biting him crazily. Painful screams reverberated, but everything only lasted a few brief moments. When the nine mosquitoes finally flew away, the long-faced youth had become round-faced due to the swelling. His entire body had swelled into a huge lump. He looked at the world around him in a daze, as if he had already lost all his senses…

That scene was so frightening and emotionally scarring that everyone who witnessed it was shocked. They murmured under their breath about how cruel it was. When they looked at Wang Baole, their gaze also carried a look of fear, as his response towards the youth was extremely vicious in their eyes.

At the same time, those people who were speaking angrily previously also immediately shut up. They didn’t dare speak another word for fear that if they said something wrong, that their outcomes would be equally horrifying.

“To continue what I was saying just now, Fellow Daoists, I am an honest and kind-hearted person, who cannot bear to hurt anyone…” Wang Baole was full of emotions as he spoke to the crowd. Noticing that no one was talking back, he was delighted.

“I know that everyone is a good brother and sister to me. When we get out of here, I’ll give everyone a treat! Eat whatever you want and don’t worry! I can pay for it!” Wang Baole waved his hand excitedly, turning his head to look at the dumbfounded elder and officers with anticipation and exhilaration.

The elder seemed to have lost his focus. After staying silent for a while, he shook his head and laughed, throwing the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill towards Wang Baole.

After grabbing hold of the pill, Wang Baole turned around and left in delight. After walking around, he thought about how he shouldn’t return to the barracks. If he did, when everyone recovered, they would definitely take revenge on him.

Having weighed his options, Wang Baole concluded that he shouldn’t let them have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, he took out his voice transmission ring to contact the warriors that he had gathered with the night before, so they could escort him out to their barracks and let him stay there for a night.

Just like that, after he reached the new barracks, Wang Baole found a quiet area and swallowed the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill under the protection of the warriors.

As the pill dissolved in his body, an alarming force exploded in Wang Baole’s body, spreading swiftly. He had already reached the peak of the True Breath realm, and after swallowing the pill, his cultivation continued to increase significantly. That was especially so for his physical body, which experienced gradual yet significant changes as the pill continuously dissolved in his body!

His bones were strengthened, and his muscles became stronger. Even the blood circulating in his body had been transformed, becoming extremely viscous. It was as if a single drop of his blood could fill an entire water tank.

At the same time, his heartbeat grew even more powerful. Every time it pumped, its force was immensely high. As it spread throughout his entire body, it caused him to tremble all over. Even Wang Baole’s spirit was gradually adjusted according to the wave theory. Eventually, Wang Baole, who was meditating with his legs crossed, was producing loud booms from within his body.

The warriors guarding him all revealed a look of surprise. Their protection was all-encompassing, as they observed the surroundings with utmost vigilance to prevent anything that could disrupt Wang Baole’s cultivation process from happening.

As time passed and noon approached, the cultivators who had been stung by Wang Baole’s mosquitoes, except for the long-faced youth, had begun to recover. They were all extremely fatigued, but anger and rage filled their eyes. After holding it back for the entire afternoon, they were all like volcanoes that were about to explode.

“Find Wang Baole! I want to kill him!”

“If I don’t bash Wang Baole to the state that he even his mother can’t recognize him, my surname wouldn’t be Sun!”

“Fellow Daoists, we must unite and resist in unison. Today, the anti-Wang Baole alliance is formed!”

“All you boys are too kind and soft-hearted. If it were me, I’d say that we castrate him after catching hold of him!”

The seedlings of the Federation were all young, with the eldest of them in their twenties. In their anger, the young and vigorous crowd all charged out and began their search for Wang Baole. They looked all around, but their search was futile. Soon, some of them got the news that Wang Baole had already left, and was hiding in a closed barracks outside the cultivation camp.

Just as they were about to rush out, the warriors who were guarding the place immediately stopped them. An officer even stepped out and shouted angrily.

“The camp is closed, and no one shall step out. If anyone disobeys the rules, it will be reported to the Federation. All of you will see if that disqualifies you as a seedling!”

The officer’s roar made everyone freeze in their steps. They were extremely indignant, and Li Yi couldn’t control her anger as she questioned, “Why could Wang Baole leave?”

“I didn’t see him leave!” the officer spoke calmly before asking the warrior next to him.

“Did any of you see Wang Baole leaving?”

The warriors who were standing guard shook their heads without hesitation. Witnessing that, Li Yi and the rest of the people were bursting with anger. However, there was nothing they could do. It wasn’t only bias towards Wang Baole. Instead, it was an obvious and official show of differential treatment.

All of them grit their teeth, burying their indignation deep in their heart. None of them dared to cross over the boundaries to be disqualified as a seedling, as that would be too high a price to play. Furthermore, if the military was siding with Wang Baole, the crime of charging through a military camp was one so heavy that even they, as elites, were unwilling to take it on.

Just like that, Wang Baole digested the pill in peace. As he experienced the Supernova, the other seedlings from the Federation were frustrated out of their minds as their hearts were exploding with a day’s worth of anger. They all became determined to show Wang Baole what they were capable of the next day!

An uneventful night passed like that…

As dawn approached on the second day, the bell in the cultivation camp blared. Except for Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng, all the other seedlings from the Federation charged out, filled with a ferocity that was akin to the great flood, towards the Public Square.
