Chapter 219: Mine!

Wang Baole was already at the Public Square when the crowd arrived. He was waving his hands passionately, greeting all the Federation seedlings who were looking at him with anger in their eyes.

“Good morning!” Wang Baole was in good spirits. After a night of meditation and allowing the pill to integrate into his system, he felt that some sort of transformation had happened to the strength of his physical body. However, since there was only one pill, the transformation was only half complete, unable to reach its full potential.

If only I could have one more of it… I would definitely be able to have a complete physical transformation. I wonder what it would be like if I were fully transformed…

That caused Wang Baole to feel some regret. However, even though the transformation was only applied to a small part, his physical strength had been significantly improved from before, having been boosted by a fold. That made Wang Baole feel that the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill was not only formidable but also enhanced his feelings of regret at how there was only one of it.

Wang Baole! As the crowd arrived and Li Yi noticed Wang Baole, she sneered, unable to control herself.

The other Federation seedlings also carried a cold, distant look in their eyes. They really wanted to teach Wang Baole a lesson then and there but knew that the instructor would arrive shortly. None of them were willing to break the rules for Wang Baole.

However, all of them had long discussed and agreed that after the day’s training had ended, they wouldn’t give Wang Baole the chance to escape like he did the day before. The moment the instructor left would be the moment they united against Wang Baole.

Therefore, looking at Wang Baole then, they all exercised restraint as they stood there, waiting for the instructor.

With those unfriendly gazes thrown at him, Wang Baole blinked as he tried to estimate the fighting capabilities of his opponents. He felt that he was facing against more than ninety people along, so he wouldn’t be embarrassed even if he lost. Therefore, he began thinking about how he could ease the situation. However, before he thought of an idea, the elderly instructor arrived from the distance, and everyone fell quiet.

Wang Baole also quickly collected his thoughts, looking at the elder with his chest pumped up high.

With the crowd’s gaze on him, the elder walked with his hands behind his back. He was alone, and as he stood before the Federation seedlings, he looked at the youths in front of him. When he saw Wang Baole, he focused his gaze on him.

“All of you have seen the mystic technique jade slip. Today, I will give everyone the chance to witness Supernova a second time!” the elder said calmly, turning around and raising his right hand. After grabbing hold of the jade slip, he looked towards the sky and punched his fist.

The entire process seemed slower than the demonstration the day before. The crowd watched without blinking as they paid close attention to all the details. When the thunder roared in the sky, a frightening vortex appeared, sweeping in all directions as though it was tearing apart space. All the seedlings, including Wang Baole, were shaken with shock, and their anticipation grew stronger.

With the elder as the epicenter, the strong winds spread and impacted the surroundings—causing everyone’s hair and clothing to fly in the wind, and their bodies to step back uncontrollably.

When the vortex finally dissipated and the winds stopped ravaging, the elder relaxed his clenched fist. He swept a quick glance at everyone before introducing the details and techniques of the Supernova.

At that moment, all the seedlings seemed to have forgotten about the friction between them and Wang Baole. They all focused their attention, combining the elder’s words with their insights from the previous night—as a form of verification—as they took in the information like a sponge.

Being able to stand out from countless others meant that they were all capable in terms of intellect. At that moment, many of them looked excited. It was obvious that being able to match the elder’s words with their own understanding allowed them to gain a stronger grasp on the Supernova.

The elder was very thorough in his explanations. After half an hour, he finally finished his teachings. Glancing at the crowd, he raised his right hand and revealed yet another… Body Strengthening Freedom Pill!

The appearance of the pill caught the attention of the crowd immediately. Their breathing grew rapid. Even though they didn’t really understand the true effect of swallowing the pill, the fact that it was introduced so formally by the instructor and that only one of them would obtain it, meant that it was extremely valuable.

At the same time, they had all contacted their respective factions the night before to ask about the pill. The answer they obtained in return not only intensified their hatred towards Wang Baole but filled them with an immense and indescribable sense of desire for the pill.

“There’s actually still one more pill!”

“I have asked the Dao College about this pill. It’s said that in the entire Federation, there are less than fifty of them currently!”

“Boosting one’s level of cultivation is a secondary effect of this pill. Most importantly, it could significantly strengthen one’s physical body. Swallowing more of them would even allow one to build up a physical foundation possessed by the gods described in the ancient myths!”

The Federation seedlings were initially dejected, but they were suddenly given hope upon seeing the pill. The craze in their eyes grew even more prominent. Even Wang Baole shuddered. He had originally planned to ease the tension between him and the rest of the disciples. After all, he felt that it was not a good idea to stay the night in another area all the time.

Furthermore, he didn’t want to become enemies with a hundred other people. However, all those thoughts vanished into thin air, thrown into the deep recesses of his mind the moment the elder revealed the second Body Strengthening Freedom Pill. There was only one thought in his mind right then, and that was…

Mine! Wang Baole looked vicious, and his breathing was rapid. Instinctively, he wanted to activate his scabbard and make use of his greatest move.

However, even before Wang Baole could do that, the elder’s voice reverberated loudly in all directions.

“This is the last pill that all of you will be able to obtain from here. The rules remain the same. The last person left standing before the sun sets will obtain the pill as a reward!” If not for Wang Baole, the elder would have stopped and left after saying that. However, he further added another sentence.

“No mosquitoes are allowed!”

His words made the seedlings instantly delighted, as they all felt that the instructor was impartial and extremely upright in his decision. In their excitement, someone even shouted out.

“First, destroy Wang Baole!”

Wang Baole’s facial expressions instantly turned awful. He noticed the eyes of the hundred people looking at him in an unfriendly manner; it was as if they were considering whether to execute their original plan of eliminating him for revenge.

Witnessing the scene, the elder instructor smiled slightly before turning and leaving towards the exit. He was simply a staff from the Federation and wasn’t from the military. He was impartial towards everyone.

However, just as he was about to leave and the crowd was about to charge towards Wang Baole, Wang Baole roared, making the first move as he raised his right arm and waved!

Instantly, numerous puppet Numinous Treasures appeared around Wang Baole. There were both male and female versions, with some looking completely identical to Wang Baole. The Silver Spirit Card had allowed Wang Baole to increase the number of puppets he had to several hundred through the previous repair works!

Having taken out more than half of them, Wang Baole instantly shocked everyone on the Public Square, causing them to stare in disbelief. Those who were the most shocked were Li Yi and company who had experienced being hugged by the puppets in the Spirit Breath Village.

Almost immediately, goosebumps formed on Li Yi’s scalp as she retreated quickly, even though she knew that only a few of the puppets were truly formidable. Most of the disciples there, however, were shocked but didn’t know how scary the puppets could become.

However, what happened next immediately made those people realize the true meaning of shamelessness, as Wang Baole roared loudly with much decisiveness!

“Hug every single one of them! Rip off their clothes if any of them tries to resist!” As Wang Baole’s roar reverberated, the hundreds of puppet Numinous Treasures all around were instantly activated as they charged towards the surrounding disciples.

Everyone felt fear gripping their hearts as the puppets immediately attacked, bursting forward loudly. Wang Baole specially created those puppets, and it was difficult to break free from them as their sturdiness and hugging skills were extremely impressive—despite them being relatively weak in terms of fighting capabilities.

There were so many of them that at least three puppets were crowding around each cultivator. Instantly, chaos erupted on site.

At the same time, Wang Baole rushed out swiftly. Whoever was hugged by Wang Baole’s puppets was struck in the head by him, and they instantly became unconscious.

Everything happened so quickly. The loud booms reverberated, and angry roars erupted all around, causing the elder instructor to stand there, speechlessly looking at the chaotic scene.

“Wang Baole, you evil b*stard!”

“Wang Baole… just you wait! Shameless!”

“Gosh, why does this fella have so many puppets? Darn it, why on earth would he make such things for no reason?”

As angry roars erupted, Wang Baole picked up speed in his attacks. At the same time, the puppets executed Wang Baole’s orders perfectly, hugging and stripping the cultivator’s clothing.

That made many people, especially the female cultivators amongst them, afraid of showing resistance despite their anger and fear. They immediately lost consciousness after Wang Baole hit them in the head. The entire process only took five minutes before Wang Baole became the last person standing.

As for Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng, even though no puppets neared them, they still sat down with their legs crossed, laughing bitterly. They wanted the pill as well, but their understanding of Wang Baole made them realize that they didn’t have a chance against him.
