The Great Void Qi Devouring Art was similar to the Qi Fostering Art, but the principles were very different.
The Qi Fostering Art guided the Spirit Qi of the world into the body, but as the body had invisible apertures, it was impossible to retain the Spirit Qi. However, it was also because of this that one could use the body as a medium to guide the Spirit Qi into the Spirit Stone in one's hand, forming a Spirit Stone. During this process, one's physique would be subtly strengthened.
As for the Great Void Qi Devouring Art, it was like forming a black hole in one's body, causing one's entire body to be filled with an extremely strong suction force. It was like devouring, sucking in the Spirit Qi of the world. Even if an ordinary person had countless apertures that could not retain the Spirit Qi, under this suction force, the speed at which the Spirit Qi was dissipating exceeded the speed at which it was dissipating.
In the end, it caused the Spirit Qi to constantly accumulate in one's body. At the same time, because of this high degree of condensation, one could condense … a Spirit Stone in one's hand without the need for a Spirit Stone!
As such, the purity would naturally far exceed others. After all, the greatest difficulty for a Dharmic Armament master regarding the purity of a Spirit Stone was how to get rid of the impurities within the Spirit Stone.
Such a cultivation technique had been proposed by someone in the Federation, but no one had been able to do it. It only existed in one's imagination, but now … in front of Wang Baole, the Great Void Qi Devouring Art perfectly resolved everything.
"From the looks of it, when cultivating this Great Void Qi Devouring Art, the suction force will grow stronger from small to large …" Wang Baole left the dreamscape in excitement. He sat cross-legged in the cave abode, his eyes shining. He felt that the Head Prefect was already waving at him. He became more and more excited, forgetting everything. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the research and cultivation of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art.
He had a few years of Qi Fostering Art as a foundation, so he was no stranger to guiding the Spirit Qi. As he calmed his heart, he immediately sensed the boundless Spirit Qi in his surroundings.
However, although the Great Void Qi Devouring Art seemed simple, there were still many difficulties when it came to actual cultivation. Wang Baole stumbled in the beginning. Most of the time, the Spirit Qi was absorbed, but it could not match the speed at which it dissipated. However, his character was such that once he had a goal, he could form an obsession. Just like in the dreamscape test, he could ignore the excruciating pain to increase his score.
"According to the Qi Devouring Technique, one must first form a devouring seed in one's body and make it a part of one's body. Only then can one suppress the rate of dissipation …"
At this moment, Wang Baole once again displayed the stubbornness of his personality. In the following half a month, he did not go to class again. Even when he went to eat, he left in a hurry. After he returned quickly, he immersed himself in research and cultivation.
At the same time, on the Chancellor's Peak, which was one of the many peaks of the Lower Academy Island, there was a pond at the top of the mountain. Beside the pond was a thatched cottage, and an old doctor was sitting there fishing.
A gentle breeze blew over, causing the surrounding willows to sway. Their reflections in the pond created a unique atmosphere.
Only the Vice-Chancellor, the black-robed middle-aged man, stood next to the old Doctor. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked very uneasy. After a long time, he took a deep breath, then clasped hands and bowed deeply to the Chancellor.
"Monastery head, I was wrong."
The old doctor did not seem to hear him and continued fishing. After a long while, the Vice-Chancellor wiped the sweat off his forehead. His attitude was even more respectful as he spoke again in a low voice.
"I was wrong because I knew that Wang Baole's incident could be used as a positive example to make the students more loyal to the Dao College. However, I chose a different path and even instructed the Alchemy faculty teachers to expose the matter of cheating."
After he finished speaking, he realized that the old doctor's expression did not change. The Vice-Chancellor sweated even more as he spoke again in a low voice.
"I was wrong because I coveted the Dharmic Armament faculty's specially-recruited quota. As a result, I was selfish and attempted to expel Wang Baole from the Dao College … I even influenced the mentality of the other teachers …" The Vice-Chancellor wiped his sweat again, feeling bitter. He had made a mistake in his judgment. Previously, he had thought that the Chancellor was unhappy with Wang Baole and had used this opportunity to punish him while also seeking benefits for himself.
However, he did not expect that Wang Baole would be able to turn the tables. And the key to all of this was Wang Baole's words. More importantly, it was the Chancellor's attitude.
At this moment, the old doctor raised his head and glanced at the Vice-Chancellor nonchalantly.
"Since you know your mistake, you may leave."
The Vice-Chancellor heaved a sigh of relief. He had followed the Chancellor for many years and knew that if the Chancellor could say such a thing, it meant that the matter was already half resolved. He bowed respectfully before leaving. When he was far away, he thought of Wang Baole. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he knew that he could not make a move for the time being. Furthermore, he did not think much of such a small figure even if he had some tricks up his sleeve.
However, he did not know that after he left, an old man had silently appeared beside the old doctor. This old man was like a servant as he stood behind the old doctor with a hunched back.
"Headmaster, you are wise. Using this matter as an excuse, you managed to give Vice Headmaster Gao Quan a warning. I think this time, he will be able to restrain himself a lot. However, although he admitted to a lot of wrongdoings, in the end, he did not admit to the most wrongdoings. That is, he has stretched his hand too far.
"In addition, I have also investigated clearly. This matter was secretly manipulated by the Head Prefect of the Spirit Kernel Hall of the Dharmic Armament faculty. At the same time, the Vice-Chancellor has deep ties with this child. The specially-recruited spot for the Dharmic Armament faculty was also requested by the Head Prefect of the Spirit Kernel Hall. It seems that his father was guiding him from behind the scenes," the old man said with a chuckle.
"The father of the Head Prefect of the Spirit Kernel … As one of the seventeen Senators of the Federation, he would not use such crude methods. Let's end this matter here." The old doctor laughed as a look of mockery appeared deep in his eyes.
"If he had hooked up with a Senator, I would have thought better of him. However, to hook up with his son, this Gao Quan is ultimately brainless."
"Chancellor, why don't we …" The old man beside the old doctor hesitated for a moment.
"It's not time yet …" The old doctor had a deep look in his eyes. Outsiders would not understand the value of such a person whom he had painstakingly built to attract hatred.
"In the future, there will definitely be people who will not be able to hold themselves back and touch this Gao Quan. And no matter what, they will have to come to me in exchange for touching him." The old doctor laughed as he muttered to himself.
Time passed, and three months passed as Wang Baole cultivated.
During these three months, due to Wang Baole's seclusion, the discussions about him in the Dharmic Armament faculty had died down. Furthermore, due to the heavy workload of his studies, everyone gradually stopped paying attention to him.
From a certain point of view, Wang Baole had indeed achieved his goal of keeping a low profile from the very beginning.
Finally, on the day after three months, Wang Baole barely managed to form a black hole devouring seed that he could feel in his body.
As he felt the suction force emanating from his body, Wang Baole wiped his sweat in excitement. He felt that he was one step closer to success, so he quickly cultivated again.
With the devouring seed, the Spirit Qi in the cave abode immediately flowed like water. It slowly changed its direction and headed straight for Wang Baole. Gradually, it was not only the Spirit Qi in the cave abode, but also the Spirit Qi outside the cave abode.
In the end, the Spirit Qi in the area he was in seemed to be stirred, forming an invisible vortex. And in the center of the vortex was the … black hole devouring seed in Wang Baole's body.
Large amounts of Spirit Qi were sucked in, finally surpassing the natural flow of his body. It caused the Spirit Qi to condense and accumulate, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. It was as though his entire body was being massaged by countless tiny hands. Thankfully, although Wang Baole was immersed, he knew what he needed to do. He gradually raised his right hand and used the Great Void Qi Devouring Art to condense Spirit Stones.
But at this point, another difficulty of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art appeared. Although the rich Spirit Qi could condense together, it would fail if he was not careful.
And once he failed, the large amount of Spirit Qi that had been condensed together would spread out and be rapidly absorbed into Wang Baole's body to accumulate again.
"I don't believe it!" Wang Baole was a little crazy. The anticipation of success made him even more persistent. He bought a large amount of food in one go, most of which were snacks. He did not leave the cave abode as if he was in seclusion. Eating, drinking, and defecating at home, he was completely immersed in his cultivation.
Gradually, even he himself didn't realize that his originally round body had become even rounder … his flesh was getting thicker and thicker … what was most shocking was that his flesh was full of luster. Although it couldn't be said to be sparkling and translucent, it was incomparably fine and smooth.
Now, his body was definitely not ordinary. It was the result of the accumulation of Spirit Qi, and thus the formation of Spirit Fat. After all, fat was the transformation of excess energy in the body. And now, Wang Baole's Spirit Qi had long since surpassed that of ordinary people. Because of the continuous failure of sucking and Spirit Stone refinement, it could not help but increase.
Thankfully, the Specially-Recruited Apprentice robe he wore was made of a special material that was very elastic. Even now, it had not burst open. As for Wang Baole, his face had changed shape. It was shiny and shiny, and his eyes were getting smaller and smaller ….
And so, another month passed. Along the way, Wang Baole noticed that he had gained weight, but he was so focused on Spirit Stone refinement that he completely ignored it. Finally … one day, Wang Baole excitedly looked at the rhombus-shaped Spirit Stone in his hand. After testing its purity, he threw his head back and laughed.
"Success! Haha, I finally succeeded!"
"Not fifty percent purity, but seventy-five percent!"
Wang Baole was extremely excited. In all his years in Phoenix City, he had only been able to refine Spirit Stones with a purity of slightly more than fifty percent. But now, he had refined seventy-five percent. It should be known that the entry standard for the first Dao College of the Federation, White Deer Dao College, was only seventy-five percent and above.
Satisfied, Wang Baole only felt that he was now very powerful. He was about to stand up and walk a few rounds to vent his excitement, but just as he was about to stand up, he almost failed to do so. This stunned him. When he looked down, he saw that his body was obviously twice as fat as it had been half a year ago. In particular, the red Specially-Recruited Apprentice robe was already out of shape, revealing his Spirit Qi ….
His breathing slowly quickened, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"This … this …" Wang Baole wailed. No longer immersed in Spirit Stone refinement, he immediately realized that he was in big trouble.
"Heavens, I just wasn't paying attention. How … How did this happen?!" Wang Baole trembled. In his mind, the genealogy that he had seen before suddenly appeared. He immediately became nervous and fearful. He hurriedly stretched out his thick fingers and started counting, wanting to cry but no tears came out.
But after counting for a long time, he realized that no matter how he counted, according to the age of the Fat Grandfathers in the genealogy, he … didn't seem to have much time left. This made him cry.
"I haven't become Head Prefect. I haven't become the Federation President. I don't want to reunite with the Fat Grandfathers." In his fear, Wang Baole's mind was filled with thoughts of losing weight. However, he had tried to lose weight many times before, but there was almost no effect. This drove him crazy.
"Exercise, I want to exercise, I want to run. While this fat has just appeared, there might still be hope!" Wang Baole clenched his teeth. The first thing he thought of was running. Therefore, he hurriedly walked to the cave abode's entrance.
Thankfully, although he was fatter, he wasn't incurable. He could still walk out the door. The moment he walked out, the sun shone on his exaggerated red Daoist robe. Seeing his massive shadow, Wang Baole was immediately enraged. With a roar, he used all his strength to run crazily up Dharmic Armament Peak.
As he ran, Wang Baole realized something different about him. It was as if he would not get tired, and the rich Spirit Qi in his body was able to sustain all his expenditure. This allowed him to run at an extremely fast speed. It was as if he felt that Dharmic Armament Peak was too small, and there were too many people who knew him. Soon, Wang Baole ran down the peak and began running around the Lower Academy Island.
That day, many Dharmic Armament faculty students saw a red ball fly past them. All of them were taken aback and exclaimed. However, the red ball was too fast, and with its face covered, they couldn't see what it looked like. Therefore, there were many rumors and discussions on the Spirit Intranet.
"I saw a ball today …"
"I saw it too!"
"It looks a little familiar. It looks like … the Daoist robe of a specially-recruited student?"
While the Dharmic Armament faculty was discussing, a group of Combat faculty students were running beside the lake on the Lower Academy Island. Among them was the specially-recruited Combat faculty student, Zhuo Yifan, as well as Chen Ziheng and company. Beside them was a middle-aged man. He was a teacher of the Combat faculty. He was leading the students in running with a solemn expression.
Compared to the students of the other faculties, the Combat faculty was more like a soldier. This was because the Combat faculty emphasized the study of ancient martial arts. In terms of actual combat, they were the best among the faculties. Every student had to have a strong body. Therefore, there was a basic training program called running around the island.
The goal was to quickly improve the freshmen's physiques so that they could successfully enter the Blood Qi realm. Although half a year had passed since the start of the semester, the Combat faculty still ran around the island from time to time.
"Run faster! Haven't you eaten!?" The Combat faculty teacher glared at the students beside him and bellowed.
Although he said that, he was still very satisfied when he saw how energetic and lively the children were. This was especially so for Zhuo Yifan and Chen Ziheng. Although they had already passed the stage of running around the island, they still followed obediently. This made him feel that they were worthy of teaching.
"You have to remember that our Combat faculty disdains artifact refinement and alchemy. What we want is our bodies. We want our bodies to reach the limits of our bodies. Be it Dharma treasures or poison pills, they are all weaklings. Our Combat faculty can suppress them with a single punch!"
"Our fists and legs are the strongest!"
"Our running speed is the fastest!"
"Our bodies are invincible!" With the middle-aged teacher's roar, the students turned excited as they roared one after another. Instantly, their Blood Qi surged, as though they could suppress all weaklings who practiced artifact refinement and alchemy.
Seeing the group of brats in such an imposing manner, the middle-aged man felt pleased. Just as he was about to say a few more words, a red meatball flew past them from behind.
