"The rumors are indeed true!" Chen Yutong's breathing quickened. She took a few steps back without blinking and looked at the three puppets that were whining at Lin Tianhao.
"Senior Brother Chen, what do you mean?" When Lin Tianhao heard Chen Yutong's words, his expression changed. He immediately felt that she had come to laugh at him.
However, Chen Yutong did not seem to have heard Lin Tianhao's question. She continued to look at the three puppets. She even took out a jade slip with a flip of her right hand, as if she wanted to record the data of the three puppets.
Chen Yutong had come to laugh at him for no reason. The three puppets whined incessantly, and one of them even took a few steps forward and stretched out its arms toward him. It pouted and looked as if it was asking for a hug. The anger that Lin Tianhao had suppressed for half a month finally reached its breaking point. He could not hold it in any longer.
It wasn't appropriate for him to vent his anger on Chen Yutong. As he roared, his body flickered, and he appeared before the burly puppet, who had its arms outstretched and was asking for a hug. With a towering rage and a venomous hatred for Wang Baole, he struck out with his palm.
"Shut up!"
He had completely unleashed his cultivation at the first level of the True Breath realm with the addition of his anger, causing its power to increase significantly. Amidst the roar, Chen Yutong's expression changed as Lin Tianhao's palm landed on the puppet's head.
The puppet's head immediately shattered into pieces. Its body could not withstand the impact and immediately fell to the ground. However, the moment it fell, an alarm sounded from the puppet's body.
The moment the alarm sounded, the door to Wang Baole's cave suddenly opened. His round figure rushed out in an instant. His expression was extremely sorrowful as he threw himself in front of the ruined puppet.
"Xiao Qiang, what happened to you, Xiao Qiang?! I've always treated you like my own flesh and blood and raised you. Xiao Qiang, you can't die! "Wang Baole shook the puppet's ruined body with a sorrowful expression.
Lin Tianhao laughed coldly. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Yutong, the genius beside him, let out a furious roar.
"Lin Tianhao, what are you doing?!"
Lin Tianhao was stunned when he heard this voice. When he looked over, he saw Chen Yutong's furious expression. The coldness in his eyes was extremely clear.
Chen Yutong was indeed furious. He was not faking it. In fact, he had been in seclusion for a period of time. After he came out of seclusion, his subordinates knew what he liked. Hence, they told him jokes about Lin Tianhao and emphasized the three puppets.
Therefore, Chen Yutong's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that she had obtained a very special puppet from a trader on the Lower Academy Island. After studying it, she felt that the puppet was extraordinary. Therefore, she came here to verify it with her own eyes.
Although it was easy for him to find out who had refined the puppets, when he saw the actions of the three puppets toward Lin Tianhao, Chen Yutong immediately knew that he didn't need to find out. The person who had refined the puppets was Wang Baole!
What made him the happiest was that Lin Tianhao had obviously improved a lot in refining puppets. It was as if he had leaped by leaps and bounds. Chen Yutong fell in love with him at first glance. He was overjoyed when he saw that Lin Tianhao had destroyed one of the puppets so crudely. To Chen Yutong, this was an extremely cruel and heinous act. He couldn't help but glare angrily at Lin Tianhao.
"Lin Tianhao, how could you bear to hurt such a treasure? You're wasting it!!"
Lin Tianhao was stunned by Chen Yutong's angry roar and glare. Chen Yutong had called the puppets "treasures." Lin Tianhao couldn't help but look at the puppet that he had destroyed with one blow. His eyes were blank.
Even Wang Baole's body trembled, and he forgot to pretend to be angry. He raised his head and stared blankly at Chen Yutong, who was even angrier than him. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly thought of the important figure from Upper Academy Island that Xie Haiyang had mentioned previously.
"This … could it be him?" Wang Baole took a deep breath. His expression immediately became strange.
At that moment, while Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao were still in a daze, Chen Yutong took a few steps forward and stood in front of Wang Baole. She looked at the puppet that had been destroyed with heartache. She sighed and patted Wang Baole's shoulder.
"Junior Brother Wang, my name is Chen Yutong. Sigh, to tell you the truth, I was the one who bought that puppet of yours back then. I saw what happened today. Don't worry, I'll be your witness. How can I let this matter rest after destroying a fellow disciple's beloved Dharmic artifact!" Chen Yutong said as she took out a jade slip. After giving her instructions via voice transmission, she looked coldly at Lin Tianhao.
Wang Baole blinked. A strange feeling arose in his heart. He put away his original plan and looked at Lin Tianhao.
Lin Tianhao's eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed. He took out a voice transmission jade slip from his storage bag and scanned it. Immediately, the punishment message from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion's law enforcement department appeared in his mind.
This punishment was extremely severe. Apart from compensation, there were also punishments. Even though Lin Tianhao was rich, his heart tightened. While his flesh ached, he was also furious. At the same time, the punishment was stated. If the offense was repeated, not only would the punishment be a hundred times worse, it would also be recorded in the Dao College's records and become a stain!
This was serious. Although his father could resolve the matter, he did not want his father to know that he was at odds with Wang Baole again. At this moment, he could only endure it. He realized that ever since he met Wang Baole, everything had not been going his way. This was especially so on Upper Academy Island. He had suffered loss after loss, and he had no way of venting his anger. Especially today, when Chen Yutong unexpectedly stood up for Wang Baole.
After a few hurried breaths, Lin Tianhao looked deeply at Wang Baole. Without a word, he suppressed his anger and returned to the cave abode. The moment he entered, he could not help but throw all the miscellaneous items in the cave abode into the air and smash them onto the ground. The veins on his forehead throbbed as he roared angrily.
"Wang Baole!!"
At this moment, outside the cave abode, Wang Baole's eyes burned with passion. He had witnessed with his own eyes what power was on Upper Academy Island. One sentence from Chen Yutong was enough to make Lin Tianhao go crazy. He could only endure it.
The meaning behind this made Wang Baole's eyes turn. He stood up and saluted Chen Yutong with cupped fists.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!"
With that, Wang Baole invited Chen Yutong to the cave abode as a guest. Chen Yutong also wanted to interact with Wang Baole and understand more about puppets, so she agreed readily. In the cave abode, the two of them had the intention of befriending each other. Soon, they were chatting happily.
As for the creation of puppets, the two of them also exchanged their experiences. Wang Baole realized that Chen Yutong was very good at creating puppets. Not only was her technique exquisite, but she had also handled the details extremely well.
"My goal is to create a Divine Armament Puppet. I believe that such a puppet will definitely develop a soul similar to that of a weapon spirit and become a real person!" Chen Yutong's eyes were full of vigor. She had benefited greatly from this exchange with Wang Baole. Even though Wang Baole was not as good as her in terms of forging, he had his own unique ideas about inscriptions and some of his ideas, which had touched her greatly.
However, this was the first time the two of them had truly interacted. Therefore, before they knew it, it was already dusk. Chen Yutong bade farewell and left. Before she left, Wang Baole generously gave her a few puppets.
He knew her tastes, so he gave her tall and burly ones with exuberant hair. However, he did not give her Zhu Gangqiang. Wang Baole was a little reluctant to part with the Dharma Artifact puppet. After all, it was the one who had inspired her in the study of puppets.
Even so, Chen Yutong was pleasantly surprised. After accepting them solemnly, she waved her right hand and gave Wang Baole the brain-deceiving Numinous Treasure that she had borrowed back then to Wang Baole.
One had to know that even though this item could not be used against enemies, it was still a Numinous Treasure. Chen Yutong giving it away just like that made Wang Baole realize that the Dharmic Armament Pavilion was richer and more generous than the Dharmic Armament faculty.
After sending Chen Yutong off, Wang Baole returned to his cave abode and logged onto the Spirit Intranet to check Chen Yutong's identity. Very quickly, he was shocked.
"This Senior Brother Chen is a top Armament Soldier who wields great power. He is in charge of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion's College Administrative Department. All illegal buildings on the ground are under the jurisdiction of his department!
"There are even rumors that he is going to become a Deputy Pavilion Leader?" Wang Baole could not help but be moved. He had not expected Chen Yutong to have such a background. At that moment, his mind suddenly became active.
"Although he has a special hobby of researching puppets, he is still a good person. After a disciple of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion becomes an Armament Disciple, he is qualified to apply for a position in a department. If I can enter the College Administrative Department that he is in charge of …" Wang Baole's eyes brightened. After pondering for a while, he made up his mind.
Therefore, in the following days, other than cultivating and refining Dharmic artifacts, he also took time to deepen his relationship with Chen Yutong. However, he did not do it deliberately, nor did he do it too frequently. He also did not go to the College Administrative Department to make his name known to everyone. As for the matter of taking up a position in the College Administrative Department, he did not mention it at all. Even Chen Yutong's subordinates were not very clear about the private relationship between the two of them.
Chen Yutong admired this way of doing things. In addition, Wang Baole's personality was not bad. Gradually, they became more familiar with each other.
After a period of time, Wang Baole felt that he had made a small breakthrough on Upper Academy Island. At the same time, he had also become familiar with his knowledge of forging materials. The next step would be to start refining for real.
"However, before that, I have to deepen my mental experiments." Wang Baole turned to look next door. His eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, more than 30 burly puppets appeared. They valiantly lined up and walked out of the cave abode.
