Wang Baole's heart was filled with glee as he thought about how perfectly he had handled the situation. He was sure that Lin Tianhao would have no choice but to drink a pot of bitter wine.
Others couldn't see the smugness in his heart. However, in the eyes of the crowd, his silhouette was filled with desolation. That was especially so for his words, which moved the surrounding cultivators. Everyone sympathized with the weak. Right now, Wang Baole was using the tactic of mourning the enemy!
That was especially true of Lin Tianhao, who had continued to attack despite the Pavilion Lord's intervention. The onlookers looked silently at Lin Tianhao, and couldn't help but look up at the Pavilion Lord.
As for Lin Tianhao, he felt like he was suffocating. He had never seen Wang Baole like this before. However, he immediately realized that Wang Baole was pretending to be weak. Furthermore, he was doing it so well that it was extremely realistic.
"Pavilion Lord, he's pretending …." Lin Tianhao was about to say something, but then the violet-robed man's cold gaze swept over him. Lin Tianhao's heart trembled, and he had no choice but to shut his mouth. His anger grew even more intense.
Seeing Lin Tianhao suffer a setback caused Wang Baole's heart to grow even more pleased. However, he knew that everyone present understood what was going on, and that he couldn't go too far with his acting. Therefore, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The violet-robed man looked away from Lin Tianhao. He was very displeased with Lin Tianhao's attack just now. Although he had approved of the additional Immortal's cave that Lin Tianhao needed to use for refining, he hadn't thought much of it. However, he had never imagined that something like this would happen. Actually, if Lin Tianhao hadn't attacked just now, he would have only reprimanded him a bit. His main focus would have been on punishing Wang Baole.
But now …. Lin Tianhao had attacked, and Wang Baole's attitude had changed. Wang Baole's words were watertight and reasonable. He hadn't come here on his own accord. Although he was in the right, he didn't act arrogantly. Instead, he treated the Pavilion Lord with respect. That was very important.
On the other hand, Lin Tianhao …
Especially with so many people watching, even as the Pavilion Master, he couldn't ignore people's feelings. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Baole a few more times. Even though he could see through Wang Baole's disguise and scheming, he had to admit that this kid knew how to conduct himself and how to do things!
"The two of you, there will be no next time. If you fight in the Dao Academy again, both of you will be severely punished!"
"And you, Lin Tianhao, what are you doing occupying other people's abode? Return it immediately!" The Pavilion Master coldly glanced at Lin Tianhao, then turned and left.
Lin Tianhao's heart trembled. Wang Baole was pretending to be bitter, but he was really bitter. He knew that he had lost this time.
As soon as the Pavilion Master left, Wang Baole stood up and cupped his fists at the people around him.
"Senior Brothers, we are all from the same sect and will be neighbors in the future. This is my first time here, so I hope that all of you can give me some pointers." Wang Baole went forward enthusiastically and addressed everyone as Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. He was especially affectionate, especially since he had many Rainbow Spirit Stones, so he gave one to everyone.
Although it was only one, everyone was very satisfied with his attitude. They couldn't help but like Wang Baole even more, and they chatted happily with each other. Especially after today's incident, everyone had a deep impression of Wang Baole. They knew that he was a scheming and ruthless person, but he also had strength.
At the same time, from the puppet, they could see Wang Baole's skill in refining weapons. Furthermore, he had broken through to the eight-inch Spirit Root, so he was very smooth in his dealings. They felt that such a person would definitely be smooth and slick. Besides, they had heard about Wang Baole's incident in the Lower Academy Island and Spirit Breath Village, but they didn't know the details. Now that they were chatting and laughing, they secretly looked into it. The more they knew, the more they became enthusiastic.
Even though they now realized that Wang Baole was just acting, they didn't care anymore.
Lin Tianhao's face was as black as iron. The laughter around him was piercing to his ears, so he turned and headed straight for the abode. Wang Baole glanced around and snorted in his heart. He didn't care and continued chatting and laughing with the people around him. Not long after, after everyone had left, Wang Baole came to the door of Lin Tianhao's abode.
He looked left and right. The two abodes were at the edge of the area, and the distance between their doors was less than ten feet. After looking around, he felt that the abode on the right was the last one, which was a bad sign. Although the one on the left was in the middle, it wasn't bad either.
Therefore, he shouted, "Lin Tianhao, I like the abode on the right that you're living in now. Hurry up and get out of my way, I want this abode!"
As soon as he said that, the veins on Lin Tianhao's forehead bulged again. He had originally planned to give the abode on the right that he was living in to Wang Baole, but now he changed his mind. He turned and rushed to the abode on the left. After tidying up a little, he threw out the abode token.
"Take it or leave it!" As he said that, he returned to the abode on the right.
"How old are you? Still rebellious, how naughty!" Wang Baole caught the token and coughed dryly. Lin Tianhao, who was in the abode on the right, heard this and gritted his teeth. Wang Baole swaggered into his abode on the left.
After entering and taking a look, Wang Baole was instantly satisfied. This abode was more than twice the size of his abode on the Lower Academy Island. Not only did it have a place to rest, but it also had a room for meditation. Most importantly, it was equipped with an Earth Fire Furnace. Here, he could refine Dharma artifacts on his own, unlike on the Lower Academy Island, where he had to go to a designated place to do so.
In particular, there was a balcony at the back. Standing there, he could see the surrounding clouds and mist. From afar, he could even see another mountain peak. Even further away, the sky and the lake seemed to be connected. The scenery was as beautiful as a painting, making one feel relaxed and happy.
At the same time, the Spirit Qi here was much thicker than in the lofts beside the market. Especially in the mountain stream outside the balcony, there seemed to be many exotic flowers and herbs planted there. Bursts of fragrance came with the wind and entered his nose, making him feel refreshed.
"What a good place." Although being neighbors with Lin Tianhao made Wang Baole feel unlucky, seeing that this abode was not bad, he did not care too much about being neighbors. At this moment, he sat there happily and took out a bag of snacks to eat.
"Next, I have to hurry up and cultivate and learn. I didn't come here to fight with Lin Tianhao. My goal is to become the Federation President!" At this thought, Wang Baole put down the snacks and logged onto the Upper Academy Island's Spirit Intranet. While familiarizing himself with the structure of the Upper Academy Island, he also learned about high-level Inscriptions and forging materials.
"Also, I have to understand the structure of the Lower Academy Island and what an Armament Disciple is …" Wang Baole's eyes showed that he was deep in thought. He had already understood part of it before, but it was not much. Now, he focused on searching.
At the same time, while Wang Baole was studying and researching, Lin Tianhao, who was sitting next to him, looked extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed with malice. He took out a jade slip and sent a voice transmission, then laughed coldly.
"Wang Baole, you dare to defame me? If you want to defame me, then let's defame me together!"
Time passed, and three days passed quickly. The news of Wang Baole taking back the abode had only spread to a small circle in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. After all, to most of the disciples in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, both Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao were just newcomers and did not pay much attention to them. Even though Wang Baole's performance in the Lower Academy Island and Spirit Breath Village was shocking, they only felt that the younger generation would surpass them in time.
At this moment, Wang Baole had finally found all the information he wanted from the Spirit Intranet. He had a deeper understanding of the Upper Academy Island and the Dharmic Armament Pavilion.
Wang Baole, who was meditating, raised his head and muttered, "Internally, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion refines Dharma Artifacts and Numinous Treasures. Externally, they are responsible for the maintenance of Dharmic Armaments at the borders of the military region … At the same time, Ethereal Dao College does not emphasize individualism. They advocate for disciples from different pavilions to cooperate with each other and form small teams to go out and train!"
At the same time, he also found out the structure of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion.
The Dharmic Armament Pavilion was like a city. From top to bottom, there was a Pavilion Lord, four Deputy Pavilion Lords, a number of Armament Soldiers, and a large number of Armament Disciples. At the lowest level were the ordinary disciples.
At the same time, there was a corresponding amount of power in the hands of this group of people. From Wang Baole's perspective, the Pavilion Lord was like the City Lord of a city. He held a high position in the city and was in charge of the overall situation. He had great power, and although he did not control life and death, within the boundaries of the rules, his power was almost limitless.
As for the Deputy Pavilion Lords, they could be understood as the Deputy City Lord, but they were not the Pavilion Lord's assistants. They also had considerable power and were in charge of a part of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion's territory. In some aspects, it was not impossible for them to go against the Pavilion Lord if they worked together.
As for the Armament Soldiers, they were nominally subordinate to the four Deputy Pavilion Lords. Every Deputy Pavilion Lord had a number of Armament Soldiers under him. It was these Armament Soldiers who were in charge of managing the various organizations within the Dharmic Armament Pavilion.
Lastly, there were the Armament Disciples. Their relationship was similar to that of the Armament Soldiers and the Deputy Pavilion Lords. Every Armament Soldier had a number of Armament Disciples under him who assisted the Armament Soldier in managing the organization. This was the structure of almost every pavilion on the entire Upper Academy Island. As for the ordinary disciples, they did not have any power.
"Not to mention the Deputy Pavilion Lords, even an Armament Soldier's power is beyond imagination! If I can become an Armament Soldier, I will be able to take charge of an area … Furthermore, this is Upper Academy Island, the core of Ethereal Dao College. Any Armament Soldier who walks out of here will be able to instill fear and respect in the hearts of ordinary City Lords! Wang Baole took a deep breath, and a strange glow appeared in his eyes.
"If I can become an Armament Soldier … not only will there not be many people who can bully me, I will also be one step closer to becoming the President of the Federation!" Wang Baole was instantly envious. Just as he was about to search for ways to become an Armament Disciple on the Spirit Intranet, he suddenly noticed that a notice had appeared on the Upper Academy Island's Spirit Intranet with his name on it.
"Hmm?" Wang Baole's expression changed as he immediately checked the notice. Soon, he began to laugh.
"Today, I would like to introduce Wang Baole from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to everyone. It is said that when this person first entered the Lower Academy Island, he cheated to obtain the status of a specially-recruited student. He is despicable, shameless, and extremely despicable …"
"I see. I was wondering why he was so rich. It turns out that when Wang Baole was the Head Prefect of the Lower Academy Island, he had a violent personality and used his power to amass countless riches. That's why he is so rich!"
At first, there were only a few of these notices, but soon, there were more and more of them, especially those that focused on wealth, sex, and power. They were extremely slanderous.
Wang Baole shook his head slightly when he saw such despicable methods. He suddenly felt that although Lin Tianhao looked smart, he was actually very childish.
If this was the Lower Academy Island, Lin Tianhao's methods might have been effective. However, this was the Upper Academy Island, where everyone cared about their own cultivation. No one was a fool. Not only was it difficult to slander others, but it also revealed one's own scheming and darkness.
"Scheming. This Lin Tianhao probably stopped drinking milk late. His scheming is too small, just like a clown's." Wang Baole shook his head. He felt that there was no need for him to worry about his father and waste too much time on this person. Thus, he casually raised his right hand, which was wearing a storage bracelet, and with a slight wave, took out an item.
"However, I can't waste it. I can use him to test the limits of a human's mental strength. It will be convenient for me to research on mental Dharmic weapons!"
