"Great news?" Wang Baole, who was about to test the power of his Fiery Explosion, blinked when he heard Chen Yutong's words. He stopped in his tracks and looked at the voice transmission ring in surprise.
Before he could ask, the excited Chen Yutong's excited voice came out of the sound transmission ring one after another.
"Grandmaster Jiang Zhengde has broken through from the early-stage Core Formation realm to the mid-stage Core Formation realm. He has also been promoted from the Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to … the Deputy Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College!
"Ethereal Dao College only had three Deputy Sect Lords before, but now we have four! Junior Brother Baole, our good days have come! " Chen Yutong's voice was filled with ecstasy. Even the sound of her rapid breathing could be heard clearly in the voice transmission. It was clear that she was extremely happy.
However, compared to Chen Yutong's excitement, Wang Baole was a little confused. He had been comprehending the Fiery Explosion secret technique for some time. It was as though he was in seclusion, and his consciousness was immersed in it. He did not know what had happened in the Dao College during this period. As for the lineage that Chen Yutong had mentioned, Wang Baole had previously made a judgment. However, he was not very clear about the details.
Therefore, when he heard Chen Yutong mention Grandmaster Zhou Zhengde, this name was unfamiliar to him. He could not help but ask.
"Grandmaster?"
After hearing Wang Baole's words, Chen Yutong immediately understood Wang Baole's confusion. Hence, she laughed and explained through the voice transmission.
"Junior Brother Baole, Grandmaster has two disciples. One is Chancellor Lu of the Lower Academy Island, who is also Uncle-Master Lu Yunkun. The other is my Master, Sun Yifeng!
"As for you, Uncle-Master Lu had already spoken to you when you entered the Upper Academy Island. Master had also planned to take you in as a disciple. However, because you made a great contribution to the Dao College in Spirit Breath Village, there were too many people paying attention to you. Moreover, Grandmaster is in seclusion. After all, it is a big matter for you to be accepted into the Dao College. Hence, it was delayed.
"Now that Master Ancestor has emerged from secluded meditation and has been promoted to Deputy Sect Leader, once everything has stabilized, you'll have to go take him as your master." After Chen Yutong explained with a smile, Wang Baole's eyes widened. Although this matter was in line with his judgment, when he heard it, he couldn't help but think of the theory of lineage in the high officials' autobiographies. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. His brain also became active, and he immediately realized the key point.
"Senior Brother Chen, since Grandmaster has been promoted from the position of Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to Deputy Sect Leader, then … wouldn't the position of Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion be vacant? Who will replace him? "
Upon hearing Wang Baole's words, Chen Yutong was clearly very satisfied with Wang Baole's sharp senses, so she lowered her voice and quickly spoke.
"Junior Brother Baole, when Grandmaster was promoted to Vice Sect Master, he suggested to the Sect Master … that Master take over the position of Grand Elder!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Baole's mind instantly turned. He immediately realized that if this matter was true, then their lineage in Ethereal Dao College, especially in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, would definitely have great power and influence.
With the Vice Sect Grandmaster at the top, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Grand Elder in the middle, and the entire Lower Academy Island … This combination would allow him and Chen Yutong to rise in status!
At this thought, Wang Baole excitedly took a deep breath. Instantly, the various struggles in the high officials' autobiographies surfaced in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He had a feeling that he had already come into contact with the core power of Ethereal Dao College, and he vaguely felt that he was no longer ordinary.
"However, there are still some variables in this matter. After all, the other Elders of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion will definitely be eyeing this vacant position. There will definitely be competition in the coming days!"
"However, with Grandmaster pushing for this matter, the chances of success are at least 80%, if not 100%!" Chen Yutong's tone was relaxed. Clearly, she was very confident in Grandmaster's ability.
After chatting with Wang Baole for a while and sharing her excitement, Chen Yutong's emotions slowly calmed down. At this moment, she took a deep breath and confided in Wang Baole.
"Junior Brother Baole, if there are no accidents, when Master becomes the Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, no one in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion will be able to stop me from being promoted to Deputy Pavilion Head!"
"Therefore, Junior Brother Baole, you have to work harder and become an Armament Soldier as soon as possible. When Master becomes the Grand Elder, with some maneuvering, the chances of you taking over the College Administrative Department will be extremely high!"
"This is an opportunity. Baole, if you succeed, you might have the opportunity to become a Deputy Pavilion Head in a few years' time … Then, both of us brothers, in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion … Although we may not have great power, we will still have the final say!"
Listening to Chen Yutong's calm yet passionate words, Wang Baole's spirits were lifted instantly. He could not help but imagine the beautiful scene. While he was excited, he was also filled with anticipation. Therefore, he immediately spoke.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Chen. In fact, I can go for the Armament Soldier assessment now. However, I want to make more preparations so that I have a greater chance of success." After Wang Baole finished speaking, Chen Yutong smiled happily in agreement.
"The Armament Soldier assessment is divided into a major assessment and a minor assessment. Both require application. Although one can be promoted as long as one passes either assessment, there are still some differences."
"The minor assessment is held once a month. You can participate after application, and the Deputy Pavilion Head will be the invigilator. As for the major assessment … it is fixed to be held once a year. Not only must you apply in advance, you will also have to face many competitors. Moreover, all the Deputy Pavilion Heads and Pavilion Heads will invigilate the assessment together. The value of the major assessment is obviously much higher than the minor assessment.
"At the same time, those who dare to participate in the Armament Soldier assessment must have a certain level of confidence. Therefore, the competition is not about whether one can be promoted, but … the ranking and who will be first!"
"Baole, there are still more than three months before this year's Armament Soldier assessment. If you are almost ready, don't waste this opportunity. However, don't feel pressured either. Everything will be fine when Master becomes the Grand Elder!"
After explaining the details of the Armament Soldier assessment to Wang Baole, Chen Yutong ended the telepathic call and put down the sound transmission ring. Wang Baole stood outside the cave abode, his heart filled with longing.
This was especially so when he thought about how after Chen Yutong's Master became the Grand Elder, he would become the person in charge of the College Administrative Department if he could be promoted to an Armament Soldier. Wang Baole could not help but feel his heart beating faster and his eyes shining brightly.
"Three months … should be enough!" After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Baole stepped back into the cave abode and decisively signed up for the Armament Soldier assessment in three months on the Spiritual Intranet.
After signing up, he walked out of the cave abode. When he reached an open space, his heart was in turmoil. He raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a small sea of fire erupted from his right hand and swept across an area of three feet, forming a firestorm.
Heat waves spread in all directions and scorch marks appeared on the ground. This scene made Wang Baole ecstatic. At the same time, he also felt that his Spirit Qi was being depleted rapidly. After testing it out, he hurriedly retracted the sea of fire.
"If I release it at full strength, I can only last for about thirty breaths …" Although the duration was short, Wang Baole was already very satisfied. He returned to the cave abode in high spirits and took out a bag of snacks to munch on.
After a while, he had eaten seven or eight bags of snacks. He patted his stomach and began to think about the Numinous Treasure he would use for the Armament Soldier assessment.
"At first, I planned to create a dragon tooth for the assessment. I prepared quite a number of teeth, especially the Foundation Establishment Teeth. However …" Wang Baole muttered to himself, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. Being familiar with the high officials' autobiographies, he knew very well that the recognition of his superiors was one aspect. He also had to fight for it and display his strength. Only then would it be logical for him to be promoted.
Therefore, he could not pin his hopes on Chen Yutong's master being promoted to the Great Elder smoothly. He had to forge ahead and make preparations. Not only did he have to be promoted to the Armament Soldier level, but he also had to be number one!
In that case, even if something were to happen to Chen Yutong's master during his promotion, he would still have enough outstanding results to fight for the position he needed!
However, in that case, using the dragon tooth as the Numinous Treasure required for the assessment would not be sufficient. After all, although the treasure was powerful, it relied too much on the materials used to forge it. The Inscriptions on its body were secondary. It would be easy for others to seize on this point and affect its ranking.
After pondering for a while, Wang Baole's eyes flashed, and a bold idea appeared in his mind …
In reality, ever since he returned from the Stronghold, a vague idea had been floating around in his mind. As he thought about it, the idea became clearer.
"Can I create … a miniature version of the Fire God Cannon?" After a while, Wang Baole muttered to himself. As his thoughts became clearer, the idea circled around his mind more and more. While it could not be dismissed, it also made Wang Baole more and more tempted.
"If I can create a miniature version of the Fire God Cannon … then … I will definitely defeat everyone in the Armament Soldier assessment. Who else but me will be number one!"
At that thought, Wang Baole's heart thumped. The inscriptions on the Fire God Cannon surfaced in his mind, including the hidden inscriptions that had appeared on the Fire God Cannon after the Armament Sand had been unlocked. Everything flashed across his mind. Wang Baole had a strong feeling as he felt the inscriptions.
