With a pained expression, Wang Baole left the cave abode with a frown on his face.
It was dusk, and the horizon was yellow. It was almost spring. Although the Ethereal Dao College's location was like spring all year round, the temperature outside was still a little chilly during this season.
The humidity was high, so when the wind blew on the body, it felt as though it could penetrate the skin. At first, it didn't feel cold, but after standing for a long time, it would still feel a little cold.
However, for a cultivator, this bit of cold was negligible.
Wang Baole didn't care about the cold wind before the arrival of spring. At that moment, he walked out of the cave abode area with the setting sun. When he reached a deserted corner, he prayed in his heart and waved his right hand. The scabbard didn't appear, but invisible Sword Qi silently flew out from his hand.
In mid-air, these Sword Qi condensed into nine mosquitoes!
These nine mosquitoes were extremely realistic. They looked no different from real mosquitoes in terms of appearance. They even had some intelligence and circled around Wang Baole on their own.
Even the feeling of their aura was the same. Therefore, when he heard the constant buzzing sound in his ears, Wang Baole's body trembled. He almost instinctively raised his hand to slap them to death. After suppressing the urge to do so, Wang Baole took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart. He tried to control them.
Almost as soon as Wang Baole thought of it, the nine mosquitoes trembled and flew in front of Wang Baole in an instant. They actually lined up in front of him like soldiers.
"Oh?" Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He thought again. Immediately, the mosquitoes lined up in front of him and formed various shapes, exactly as Wang Baole had imagined.
"So agile!" Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. He had been so depressed that he didn't immediately notice the difference between these mosquitoes. After trying it out, he suddenly felt that these mosquitoes seemed to be quite powerful.
"Then, what if I don't precisely control them but give them orders?" With this thought in mind, Wang Baole immediately tried it out. He was surprised to find that these mosquitoes seemed to have a certain level of intelligence and could roughly follow his orders.
For example, patrolling, guarding, and so on. After Wang Baole poured more spirit energy into the scabbard in his body, he was surprised to find that his field of vision had undergone a huge change!
If a normal person looked straight ahead without moving their eyes, they would be able to see around 45 degrees. This was something that even cultivators could not change. At most, their five senses would become sharper and they would be able to vaguely sense their surroundings.
But now … Wang Baole was shocked to discover that his field of vision had gone from forty-five degrees to three hundred and sixty degrees!
"This … this …" Wang Baole's breathing stopped. After careful observation, he immediately understood the reason. He had borrowed the field of vision of the nine mosquitoes, making each mosquito like his eyes. This way, he had broken through the limits of vision!
This discovery made Wang Baole's heart tremble. He immediately realized that this field of vision was very useful to him. When he was fighting against an enemy, it was as if he had grown a circle of eyes in his head … It made him more agile and sensitive than before.
In addition, if someone were to launch a sneak attack, it would be difficult to catch them off guard with him!
In his excitement, Wang Baole felt that he had to study this function more. Therefore, he constantly controlled the mosquitoes to change their field of vision. Gradually, Wang Baole excitedly discovered that whether it was one or all of them, these mosquitoes could become his eyes and he could control them freely.
"Just these functions alone are worth ten thousand pieces of Armament Sand!" Wang Baole was extremely excited. In his excitement, he tried to control these mosquitoes to fly further away.
"Let's see how far they can fly …" Wang Baole had just thought of this when he was immediately distracted again. As the nine mosquitoes around him flew further away rapidly, Wang Baole realized that his field of vision had also changed in an instant!
It was as if ten different scenes had overlapped, but they did not affect each other. Under the shared vision, he could see a small half of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion!
Even though some blind spots appeared as the mosquitoes flew further and further away, to Wang Baole, this was an experience that he had never experienced before. It was also at this moment that the noise that made Wang Baole feel as if his mind was about to explode suddenly appeared!
He heard countless voices!
"The Armament Disciple assessment is too difficult. I hope I can succeed this time!"
"Senior Brother Zhou, can your Dark Flame Iron be cheaper? I need a lot of it!"
"Fried potatoes, freshly fried potatoes …"
"Have you heard? This year's Beast Tide is coming again. A stronghold near my hometown is already preparing for war!"
All sorts of voices exploded in Wang Baole's ears like a huge wave, almost drowning Wang Baole. This feeling was as if he had been transported from a quiet environment to a wet market in an instant. Wang Baole's head was instantly dizzy. He hurriedly controlled the mosquitoes to fly higher, and only then did he feel better.
"These mosquitoes can actually hear voices … but there are too many of them." Wang Baole felt a swelling pain in his head, but he was even more excited. Therefore, he tried to block them. Although the effect was not particularly good, it was still acceptable.
Only then did he control the mosquito to fly further away from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. Soon, he heard the voice again and saw the scene. It was in the courtyard of the College Administrative Department. Sun Fangzheng was about to walk out with a solemn expression when someone chased after him and called out to him to stop.
"Senior Brother Sun, we …"
But after hearing this, Sun Fang's expression changed. He carefully looked around before turning back to glare at the person who had come.
"Shut up. In the future, you have to call me Senior Brother Fang in public. My name is Fang Sun!"
Looking at Sun Fang and hearing his words, Wang Baole, who was in a remote area far away, could not help but cough. Sun Fang had offended him previously and had been punished by the College Administrative Department. However, Wang Baole felt that he was a magnanimous person, especially since he had just taken office. He did not want others to think that he was harsh, so he had let him off easily. He had planned to find another opportunity to deal with him after some time. But this person was like a shrewd monkey. After this incident, he claimed to have changed his name to Fang Sun …
As such, Wang Baole could not continue pursuing the matter. Thinking of how magnanimous he was, he truly let him off the hook.
At that moment, he swept his gaze across the area and directly ignored him. Wang Baole continued to control the nine mosquitoes. After measuring the maximum range of the mosquitoes, which was about one and a half miles away from him, Wang Baole was overjoyed. He then tested the short-distance explosive speed and the mosquitoes' attack power.
The former was astonishing. The instantaneous explosive speed was undetectable to the naked eye. However, the latter was much inferior. At most, it could only penetrate some trees. As for rocks, it was a little difficult.
"It's alright. They are mosquitoes. Their main purpose is to bite people, not to hit them!" Wang Baole consoled himself. He wanted to test the effects of the mosquitoes' bite. Although there were many people in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, they had no feud with him. As for Lin Tianhao, who was in seclusion, Wang Baole controlled the mosquitoes to circle in front of his new cave abode. They could not enter, so he could only give up.
"It's a pity that Despicable Monkey is not here …" Wang Baole felt regretful. He planned to wait for Despicable Monkey to appear or for Lin Tianhao to come out of seclusion before he tried the power of the mosquitoes' bite. Therefore, he recalled the nine mosquitoes.
"That's right, I still have to test the degree of protection!" When the nine mosquitoes returned to Wang Baole, Wang Baole thought for a moment and pinched one of them. Although it was tough, when Wang Baole exerted force …
With a smack, the mosquito was crushed.
Wang Baole frowned. However, he quickly had an idea. He channeled his spirit energy into the scabbard. With a wave of his hand, another mosquito appeared. This scene immediately made Wang Baole's eyes light up. After many attempts, he realized that as long as his spirit energy was not depleted, the mosquito could be regenerated endlessly after it was destroyed.
"This is too heaven-defying!" After Wang Baole tested all the data, even he, as a quasi-Armor Soldier of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion who could refine Numinous Treasures, was shocked.
Although he did not know how powerful an authentic scabbard that could fly out sword needles according to Little Missy Mask's requirements would be, in his opinion, his mutated scabbard would not be much weaker. In some aspects, it might even surpass the authentic scabbard by a lot!
Almost at the same time that Wang Baole was testing the mosquito Dharmic artifact, there was an endless mountain range far away from Ethereal Dao College.
From afar, this mountain range was pitch-black. There was only a column of smoke rising into the sky that seemed eternal and indestructible. It exuded an indescribable suppressive force that seemed to connect with the heavens. It caused the entire sky to appear as if a ring-shaped cloud had spread out!
However, if one were to take a closer look, they would realize that the mountain range seemed to have been cast with gold and iron. Furthermore, at the original location of the mountain peak, where the smoke was rising, there was a gigantic stronghold built!
This stronghold was huge. It was not made of bricks but a special kind of metal that emitted a black glow. On the outer side of the mountain range, the walls of the stronghold were filled with sharp spikes. These spikes varied in length and were stained with dried blood. At the end of some of the spikes, there was a ring-shaped platform. On the platform, there was an object that looked like a cannon.
This was the combination Numinous Treasure developed by the Federation. It was extremely powerful. At a glance, there were so many Numinous Treasures on the walls of the stronghold that it was difficult to count them all.
As for the stronghold itself, it was a few thousand feet wide. Its height was even more astonishing, reaching a height of more than fifty thousand feet. It was like a huge door that wanted to seal the heavens. It stood tall on the mountain range and merged with the rest of the mountain range. At the same time, it was earth-shattering, as if it had divided the land into two parts.
The interior was the Federation!
As for the exterior, it was a piece of scorched earth. Further away, there was an endless forest. Vaguely, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard echoing in the forest.
