When Zhuo Yifan heard this, his anger was indescribable. He looked at Wang Baole who was producing Spirit Stones on the spot and felt extremely depressed.
"This isn't fair!"
"Why isn't the Dao College doing something that destroys the balance? If this carries on, won't the auction be specially prepared for the Dharmic Armament faculty!?" Zhuo Yifan trembled in anger. He had no way of venting the grievances and anger in his heart.
However, just as he finished speaking, a senior beside him laughed.
"You are too naive."
"He specializes in printing money. Why should the Dao College interfere? However, you are right about one thing. The auction is prepared for the Dharmic Armament faculty. Didn't you notice that nearly everyone fell silent the moment he made his bid? You are still a rookie. You don't understand … "The senior sighed. Many of the senior students beside him also sighed.
"As long as someone from the Dharmic Armament faculty appears in the auction, they get to choose first. Once they are done, the rest will belong to the other faculties. There's nothing we can do about it. We earn money. Some of us are lucky enough to snatch money, but they are making money …"
"Isn't that so? They can make as much as they want. How can we compete?" The senior students' lamenting words made Zhuo Yifan go mad once again. Amidst his anger, he felt like he had suddenly become a pauper. He could not help but ask when he noticed the mention of snatching money.
"You can snatch money in the Dao College?"
The senior student did not answer. He only smiled without a word.
Seeing that even the senior student did not answer him, Zhuo Yifan felt humiliated. He glared at Wang Baole, feeling indignant. He felt that he had plenty of Spirit Stones. Even if Wang Baole could print money himself, he would still be slower and would not be able to outbid him. Therefore, after confirming the bid twice with the auctioneer, just as he was about to confirm the third time, he shouted.
"I'll bid 1700 Spirit Stones!"
Wang Baole turned his head to glare at Zhuo Yifan. The more he looked at him, the more he found him an eyesore. He decided to throw caution to the wind.
"I bid two thousand spirit stones!" After he finished speaking, Wang Baole had already finished refining one Spirit Stone and was beginning to refine the second one. He had already thought it through. At worst, he would stay here for a period of time after he won the bid. He would leave after he finished refining all the Spirit Stones. Even if he became fat, he still had to win this Cleansing Pill and vent his anger.
"You!!" Zhuo Yifan's eyes reddened. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Baole took out the second Blank Rock to refine, the auctioneer on the stage gave a wry smile. He could tell that Wang Baole was a specially-recruited student of the Dharmic Armament faculty. He felt that the Cleansing Pill's price was sufficiently high and did not wish to offend the Dharmic Armament faculty.
"Fellow student from the Dharmic Armament faculty, there's no need to rush. As long as your Dharmic Armament faculty produces an IOU, you can spend it as Spirit Stones at my Cloudhawk Clubhouse. You can pay it back within the stipulated time. There's no rush."
When this was said, the crowd did not say anything, but the rookies drew a gasp. Many of them immediately regretted choosing the wrong department.
"Ah? You can do that? " Wang Baole was taken aback as well. His eyes widened as though he was unsure. When he saw the auctioneer nod his head in affirmation, Wang Baole felt agitated. He immediately felt enlightened. Only then did he realize that … the Dharmic Armament faculty was truly impressive!
Compared to Wang Baole's excitement, Zhuo Yifan was completely dumbfounded. If the seniors' words from before were considered a critical blow, then the auctioneer's words were like a bayonet that stabbed deeply into his young heart.
He felt his vision darken as he staggered. Feelings of defeat and helplessness filled his entire body. When he saw Wang Baole's smug look, he thought of running and weightlifting. He also noticed the strange gazes from the people around him. Finally, he roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Wang Baole, I challenge you!" As he spoke, he directly issued a challenge to Wang Baole.
The moment he said that, there was another uproar. Wang Baole frowned as well.
Seeing Wang Baole hesitate, Zhuo Yifan felt a lot better. He had nearly gone mad from anger. He felt that he could not compete with Wang Baole in terms of wealth, but he had sufficient martial strength. He had to vent his anger.
He had already thought it through. Even if Wang Baole did not accept the challenge, he would forcefully teach him a lesson. Now that the challenge had been issued, he was about to turn and leave the auction hall to wait outside.
But at that moment, Wang Baole grunted. He had no interest in such a challenge, nor did he have the time to care about it. His goal was to become Head Prefect, not such a boring challenge.
Therefore, when he recalled the auctioneer's words, Wang Baole drew inferences and wrote an IOU for a hundred Spirit Stones. He raised it high in the auction hall and spoke proudly.
"Whoever helps me get rid of him will get these hundred Spirit Stones!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the crowd gasped. This unexpected action caused Zhuo Yifan to stare in shock. Before he could react, the eyes of one of the senior students he had known for only a short time began to shine. Laughing heartily, he snatched the IOU and charged toward Zhuo Yifan.
"I'll do it!"
The other senior students were excited as well. They roared as they charged toward Zhuo Yifan, shouting out words of encouragement.
"It's mine! Don't fight with me over it!"
In the blink of an eye, dozens of senior students had Zhuo Yifan completely surrounded. "You guys are too fast! Dammit, this is a rare opportunity!"
"Seniors …." Zhuo Yifan trembled and tried to flee, but it was too late. He was surrounded by dozens of senior students. Rumbling sounds filled the air, and Zhuo Yifan's miserable shriek could be heard.
"I'm … a specially-recruited student. You guys …."
"He's a specially-recruited student. I've been wanting to do so for a long time!"
The senior student beside Zhuo Yifan explained with a smile as he attacked.
"You asked me what a robbery is … This is a robbery!"
Chaos broke out in the auction hall. Some people even took out their recording devices and began a live broadcast.
Zhuo Yifan's aggrieved shriek was extremely shrill. Fortunately, they were in an auction hall. Soon, a large number of guards came in and pulled the crowd apart.
If it had been anyone else fighting, the Cloud Hawk Auction House would have dealt with it seriously. However, both parties involved were students of Ethereal Dao College. Even though the Cloud Hawk Auction House had a powerful background, they didn't dare offend Ethereal Dao College, which had always been protective of its students. These students were also a headache for the Cloud Hawk Auction House. They knew that these people were ancestors … and they couldn't afford to offend them.
Therefore, they could only persuade the crowd to pull them apart and send them all out. Only then did the matter come to an end.
As for Wang Baole, he had long left. Under the curious and charming guidance of the young mistress of the auction house, he wrote an IOU, took the Cleansing Pill, and was sent out of the auction house. The service was extremely attentive. Before he left, the young mistress deliberately approached Wang Baole and asked for his contact details.
This made Wang Baole feel that he was very impressive. He returned to the Dharmic Armament faculty smugly. When he sat in his cave abode, his desire to become Head Prefect grew even stronger.
"The Dharmic Armament faculty is actually so strong. If I can become Head Prefect, it can be said that I have truly stepped onto the path to the pinnacle of life!" Wang Baole was delighted. Just as he was about to take out the Cleansing Pill, he suddenly smacked his forehead.
"I can't be so smug. There are many allusions in the high officials' autobiographies that I have to remember. I was too rash today. I was too high-profile. I should have kept a low profile." Wang Baole agreed. He reflected on his actions and calmed his agitated emotions. Only then did he take out the Cleansing Pill he had bought from the auction house. After taking a careful look and sniffing at it, he swallowed it.
As the pill entered his mouth, it instantly melted. A warmth instantly rose from his abdomen and rapidly spread throughout his body. This was the first time Wang Baole had eaten a pill. As the Cleansing Pill contained many precious herbs, its medicinal effects were too great. Immediately, it made Wang Baole's body tremble.
Wang Baole's breathing began to quicken. At that moment, large amounts of sweat flowed down his body. He hurriedly took off his clothes and sat there naked. He exclaimed when he saw his pores secreting black impurities that resembled filth.
"This is too amazing!"
With the excretion of the impurities, he could clearly feel that his body had become much more transparent. Even his lifeblood was much more vigorous than before.
Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. The excretion of the impurities lasted for a full three days. When the medicinal effects wore off and he finished washing his body thoroughly, Wang Baole laughed heartily as he looked at his round figure and smooth, delicate skin.
"It's indeed a good pill!"
