It wasn't that they didn't want to continue competing with Wang Baole, but on the one hand, Wang Baole's battle prowess was too strong. Moreover, the four Dao Colleges belonged to the same alliance. If there was a battle to the death between them, it would have a huge impact.
On the other hand, once a Spirit Root was absorbed, it was almost impossible to get it back, unless some cruel methods were used. However, this was a taboo. The students of the four Dao Colleges were all students after all, and there was no blood feud between them. Therefore, very few people would do or dare to do such a thing.
Therefore, no matter if it was them or Wang Baole, although they were competing, they restrained themselves. Even if they used their trump cards, the most they could do was injure the other party.
At that moment, seeing Wang Baole speeding away, Li Yi and the rest had no choice but to disperse and search for eight-inch Spirit Roots again.
After all, although eight-inch Spirit Roots were rare, they were not like nine-inch Spirit Roots, where there was only one. In fact, according to the records of the four Dao Colleges, during the opening of the Spirit Breath Village, there were at most ten eight-inch Spirit Roots, and at least five eight-inch Spirit Roots.
The four Dao Colleges had done research on this before, and guessed that before the opening of the Spirit Breath Village, the eight-inch Spirit Roots were mostly in hibernation. Only after the opening of the Spirit Breath Village would a different number of eight-inch Spirit Roots awaken each time for some unknown reason.
"Find the next eight-inch Spirit Root!" Li Yi took a deep breath, and her eyes were filled with determination. As the most eye-catching student of White Deer Dao College, her goal this time was to obtain the eight-inch Spirit Root. Especially when she faced off with Zhao Yameng from afar, she felt the pressure and was even more determined to obtain the eight-inch Spirit Root. At that moment, she turned around and left immediately.
"It's good that Wang Baole has taken the eight-inch Spirit Root. At least he won't continue to compete with us!"
"But speaking of which, Wang Baole's battle prowess is too abnormal!" Seeing that Li Yi had left, the others also felt emotional and dispersed. Among them, the black-faced youth from White Deer Branch College, Wu Fen, and Qian Meng left alone. As for Li Feng and Chen Linyi, they left together. They had also seen the situation at Zhuo Yixian's side and had a rough idea of what was going on. However, they did not pay too much attention to it. After all, their top priority was to find the eight-inch Spirit Root as soon as possible.
Soon, the place quieted down. Only Zhuo Yixian was left with a look of unwillingness in his eyes. Seeing Wang Baole snatching away the eight-inch Spirit Root and realizing that he had nothing to do with this, he was furious. However, he could only clench his fists. After all, this was not the Zhuo Family!
Zhuo Yifan also stood up from his cross-legged position. After absorbing the seven-inch Spirit Root, although he was still injured, the elixirs that Wang Baole had given him and the healing items that he had prepared for himself had helped him recover significantly. At this moment, he looked coldly at Zhuo Yixian and then at the six students from White Deer Branch College who were looking at him warily. Zhuo Yifan silently retracted his gaze, chose a direction, turned around, and dashed into the distance.
When Zhuo Yifan had also left, the six students from White Deer Branch College shook their heads and sighed. They understood that with such battle prowess and the acquisition of the eight-inch Spirit Root, Wang Baole's name would definitely be even more prominent in the four major Dao Colleges in the future.
It must be known that although Wang Baole had a certain degree of fame in the other Dao Colleges, it was ultimately just a rumor. Now, in the Spirit Breath Village, his various actions had left an extremely deep impression on everyone.
As they sighed, the six of them supported the silent Zhuo Yixian and left the place.
At this moment, Wang Baole's eyes were shining as he sprinted. He was in high spirits as he ran, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Eight inches, haha, I'm already at the eight-inch Spirit Root, the limit of the human body!" Wang Baole ran quite a distance before he stopped. In his excitement, he felt that after entering the Spirit Breath Village, although he was a little unlucky at the beginning, the end result was still pretty good.
"Next, I have to find a place to seclude myself, break through the Ancient Martial Arts, and step into the True Breath realm!" Wang Baole's eyes lit up. Thinking that he was about to become a cultivator, he was full of anticipation. He hurriedly looked around, found a direction, and sped off, intending to find a secret place where he could seclude himself.
The Spirit Breath Village was very big, and there were many forests and mountains. Wang Baole's goal was to find a valley and dig a cave to hide in. Not long after, he saw a mountain range in the distance. His eyes lit up, and he imagined the scenery after becoming a True Breath expert, and he quickly ran over.
Not long after, he found a valley. This place was desolate, and there were many weeds. Seeing that there was no one around and that this place was relatively remote, he took out his flying sword and started digging towards the mountain rocks. As he dug, he happily hummed a little tune.
Although the rocks here were hard, with Wang Baole's hard work, he was able to dig out a small cave after half an hour.
"This is it!" Looking at the masterpiece that he had dug out with satisfaction, Wang Baole kept his flying sword and piled up the surrounding rocks at the entrance as a cover. Satisfied, he took out some snacks and was about to eat a few bites when suddenly, Wang Baole felt that something was wrong. He turned around, and his eyes widened. He did not know when a figure had appeared behind him.
This figure was floating in mid-air, motionless, and was less than thirty feet away from Wang Baole!
At such a close distance, Wang Baole did not notice at all. Now that he suddenly saw it, he was immediately shocked.
"Who is it!" Wang Baole instinctively retreated and shouted in a low voice.
Almost at the same time that he spoke, Wang Baole also clearly saw the figure that appeared behind him. This person was faceless, and there was a nine-inch Spirit Root flashing in his body!
It was the nine-inch Spirit Root that he saw flying across the sky when he first entered the Spirit Breath Village.
"Do you know that it is very impolite for you to suddenly appear when others are eating snacks?!" After noticing that the other party was not a student, but a Spirit Root, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief and glared angrily.
The other party's sudden appearance made him feel very uncomfortable. However, this was not the first time that he had seen a nine-inch Spirit Root. In fact, it was not only Wang Baole, but many students in the Spirit Breath Village had seen it floating across the sky more than once.
After all, its existence could not be absorbed by anyone, and it was different from other Spirit Roots that ran on the ground. When it floated in the sky, it was too conspicuous and would be easily seen by others.
"Alright, I will not argue with you. You can go, don't disturb my seclusion." Wang Baole muttered a few words and ignored the other party. Just as he was about to walk into the cave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at the nine-inch Spirit Root that was still floating in mid-air.
"This … is the nine-inch Spirit Root really unable to be absorbed?" Wang Baole blinked his eyes. He already had the foundation of the eight-inch Spirit Root. If he had not encountered the nine-inch Spirit Root, it would have been fine. However, now that he had encountered it, he could not help but think about it.
"The big sister in the mask once said that the Golden Body would bring about unexpected benefits when one attains the True Breath realm … This also explains why so many Spirit Roots liked me when I first entered."
"Moreover, the eight-inch Spirit Root just now took the initiative to come to me … If this is the case, I will not be satisfied if I do not try to absorb the nine-inch Spirit Root." Wang Baole touched his chin. Just as he was hesitating, the nine-inch Spirit Root shook its body and was about to leave.
"It should be fine if I try. The jade scroll from the Dao College did not say that one would die if he absorbed the nine-inch Spirit Root. It only said that the nine-inch Spirit Root cannot be absorbed!" At the thought of this, Wang Baole's eyes were filled with determination. He took out his boxing gloves and rushed out. Stepping on a huge rock, he leaped into the air and headed straight for the nine-inch Spirit Root that was about to leave. He threw a punch!
"Nine-inch Spirit Root, come to Daddy!"
Wang Baole knew that the nine-inch Spirit Root must be extremely powerful. At this moment, he gave it his all. With one punch, all the Qi and blood in his body surged toward the boxing gloves. Instantly, a storm was formed in front of him and swept toward the nine-inch Spirit Root.
Everything happened too quickly. From the moment Wang Baole made his decision to the moment he made his move, everything happened in the blink of an eye. The nine-inch Spirit Root had just moved when Wang Baole's figure and the storm suddenly neared it.
A roar exploded and reverberated in all directions. The nine-inch Spirit Root seemed to be weightless. With the help of the storm, its speed increased and it disappeared into the distance in an instant.
Wang Baole could only watch helplessly as the nine-inch Spirit Root drifted away. He could not stay in the air for long. He could only land and sigh.
"It can fly. There's no way to fight it." Wang Baole was a little depressed as he watched the nine-inch Spirit Root disappear into the distance. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly had an idea. With the intention to give it a try, golden light burst out from his body and he activated his Golden Body!
The Qi and blood behind him spread out and formed a golden ocean. The instant it swept out in all directions, the nine-inch Spirit Root, which had already drifted away, stopped in its tracks.
"It actually worked!!" Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. However, his expression quickly changed because the nine-inch Spirit Root in the distance slowly turned around after stopping. Although it did not have a face, from its body, a burst of … icy cold aura that made Wang Baole's heart tremble!!
