Chapter 572: Baole, Do You Understand?

As Wang Baole and company left the trial grounds where they battled Zhou Chudao previously, breathing sounds emerged from the momentarily silent Dao Palace public square. Even though discussions could be heard, most of the disciples remained silent.

If it were said that the battle they witnessed between Wang Baole and Zhou Chudao had begun on fair terms, then the armor formed by blood-colored meridians that appeared outside Wang Baole’s body towards the end was the factor that caused the entire situation to be turned around!

To a certain extent, it couldn’t be considered a one-dimensional combat force. The result was something that everyone was unable and unwilling to believe.

All the Federation Seedlings were silent, and torrents of emotions crashed in their hearts. They felt that Wang Baole’s powers were unreal.

Feng Qiuran was deeply surprised, and she felt a myriad of emotions in her heart. She stared at Wang Baole through the footage, thinking about how powerful Thearch Armor was on the one hand, and deeply shocked by Wang Baole’s rising on the other!

Before this, she didn’t have high hopes for Wang Baole and company. She even thought that unless a miracle happened, it was impossible for the trio to emerge in the top three with their own abilities.

However, right now, Feng Qiuran had to admit that she made the wrong judgment. She had also belittled her ally, the Federation!

They have sent such an elite to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. I am nothing compared to the Federation’s generosity! Feng Qiuran was focused. She thought to herself that if there were a talent like Wang Baole under her lead, she would definitely not send him out. After all, if anything untoward happened, the losses would be too great to handle.

To her, it wasn’t easy that the Federation could do that!

Mie Liezi also thought similarly. Right now, Mie Liezi was looking at Wang Baole through the footage silently. Daoist You Ran reacted the same way, but what was different was that in the depths of his eyes, a chilly glow and an intention to kill was hidden!

At the same time, as the first teleportation ended, there were only slightly over a hundred people remaining on the trial grounds. This was due to the intensity of the first day, which had resulted in a large number of keys being collected.

Most of those that remained were scattered all over the place. They were cautious and vigilant towards the possibility of being attacked by the keyless participants. Indeed, according to Zhao Yameng’s judgment, as the first day was so intense, the second day was comparatively calmer.

Even though fights and clashes still occurred occasionally, everyone knew that there were four people on the trial grounds that shouldn’t be provoked. Other than the three remaining personal disciples, the last one was the personal disciple from the Federation, Wang Baole!

‘Federation Personal Disciple’ was the respectful term that people on the trial grounds gave to Wang Baole. To them, only the words ‘Personal Disciple’ were a good fit for Wang Baole’s identity.

Therefore, the locations where Wang Baole and the other three people were at were forbidden grounds for the other disciples. They didn’t dare go near those areas and would flee if they even saw them from a distance away.

After flying in the air for a period of time and noticing the scattered keys on the night sky map swiftly running away, Wang Baole called for Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao to take a rest on one of the mountain peaks.

To the others, the keys were of increasing importance. However, to Wang Baole, it didn’t matter, and no one dared to snatch it from him either. He knew very clearly that right now, he only had three opponents remaining!

One was Dugu Lin, one was Lu Yun, while the other was Zhou Chudao’s Dao partner, Huang Yunshan!

Wang Baole didn’t belittle any of the three. That was especially so for Dugu Lin, who had risen to become Wang Baole’s greatest competitor!

“If nothing peculiar happens, the top three would definitely be chosen from the four of you.” As Wang Baole was looking at the night sky map, Zhao Yameng commented softly while sitting beside him.

“Then, Baole, do you want to stably enter the top three, or do you want to try going on the Lonely Path?” A glow flashed across Zhao Yameng’s eyes as she looked at Wang Baole.

Kong Dao responded similarly as well and was even tempted to try it out. That was because once Wang Baole chose the latter option, he would have great advantages…

Wang Baole thought about it and suddenly laughed.

“I still want to go on the Lonely Path to eliminate everyone, so that there is no number two or number three, but only a number one! Then, when the trial ends, each one of us shall take a Hyacinthus Tree leaf!”

“Let’s do it!” Kong Dao spoke excitedly. Zhao Yameng rubbed her forehead, appearing as if she had long guessed that Wang Baole would take that option. She relaxed, and as she heard Wang Baole’s words, she no longer continued to think about the details of the rules here.

“Since this is the case, then I’ll no longer do the analysis. You do it yourself. However, let me remind you that your next opponent might appear even before the second teleportation happens. If I didn’t guess incorrectly, it should be Huang Yunshan, Zhou Chudao’s Dao partner!”

“Coming for revenge?” Kong Dao raised his eyebrows.

“Coming to give us a key! Kong Dao, I’ve realized that your intelligence seems to have been lowered recently.” Zhao Yameng spoke calmly.

Kong Dao twisted his mouth and didn’t speak. He thought silently in his heart that whoever followed these two weirdos had to bow down to them. One was undefeatable in terms of combat power, the other undefeatable in terms of wit. What could he do other than say something? If it were someone else, they would have long lost their sense of existence.

Seeing how awkward Kong Dao looked, Wang Baole cleared his throat, and almost instinctively thought to take out his snacks. However, on the one hand, there were only a few pieces left, and on the other hand, he felt that it didn’t match the situation. Therefore, he resisted doing so. Instead, he raised his chin and maintained the proud attitude that he had been putting on in the trial grounds.

True to Zhao Yameng’s judgment, after the trio rested for half a day, a star worth over thirty keys could be seen nearing them quickly on the night sky map.

This caught the attention of everyone inside and outside the trial grounds. Naturally, Wang Baole and trio also noticed it, but they simply sat waiting, without moving.

An hour later, as the star appeared before the trio with astonishing speed, the alluring Huang Yunshan arrived like a ball of fire.

She was extremely fast. The previous moment, she was still a distance away, but in the blink of an eye, she was just a thousand feet from the trio. As she landed on the mountain peak, she didn’t look at Wang Baole, instead, throwing a glance at Zhao Yameng first.

Zhao Yameng looked back at her with a smile. Huang Yunshan smiled as well, before turning to look at Wang Baole, sizing him up. At the same time, Wang Baole was also looking at that woman.

When their eyes met, Huang Yunshan suddenly laughed.

“Even my man fell in your hands. It seems like I am no match for you either. Since that is the case, I’ll give you the keys. Since you’ve won over my man, you should continue battling and become number one!” With that, Huang Yunshan raised and waved her right hand, and tens of keys landed before Wang Baole.

Then, she looked at Wang Baole once again and smiled before turning to leave.

From her arrival to her departure, that was the only thing that she said. Kong Dao was deep in thought, looking at Zhao Yameng and back at Wang Baole, who seemed to also be thinking about something, before speaking suddenly.

“Baole, she must have fallen for you… Otherwise, why would she travel so far to give you those keys…”

Wang Baole blinked and was about to speak, but Zhao Yameng snorted upon hearing those words.

“Kong Dao, your intelligence has indeed been lowered.”

“What do you mean by that, Zhao Yameng!” Kong Dao was delighted but purposely acted as if he were angry. In reality, he had deliberately said those words to agitate Zhao Yameng.

“I don’t mean much. However, if my man failed, I would hope that the person who beat him would become the mightiest person in this trial. This way, my man would have failed under the hands of the top elite and not under the hands of other failures. This would minimize the damage to my reputation, and he wouldn’t be as disheartened. He would have a chance to rise up again and defeat him with his own hands!” Zhao Yameng spoke calmly. Kong Dao didn’t know how to argue back and simply mumbled.

“You’re a lunatic as well…”

“That’s because you don’t understand!” Zhao Yameng laughed. She looked at Wang Baole with a glow in her eyes and asked, “Baole, do you understand?”

Being looked at by Zhao Yameng in that way made Wang Baole’s heart rate quicken. As Zhao Yameng sat down, he couldn’t help but sweep his gaze at her…
