With the sixth knock, the accumulated recoil in Wang Baole's body had reached an indescribable level, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
The blood was black in color, as if it contained the impurities and filth in his body. After he spat it out, Wang Baole felt as if his bones were about to collapse, and his vision darkened.
"I didn't knock myself out, did I?" Wang Baole's mind was buzzing, and his consciousness was beginning to blur. As this thought flashed through his mind, his legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground with a thump. It looked as if he was about to pass out, but at that moment, he faintly heard a cracking sound coming from within his body.
Following the appearance of this sound, a majestic wave of Spirit Energy suddenly erupted from within his body. When it filled his entire body, following the recoil from the external force, it actually merged with Wang Baole's meridians, causing his cultivation level to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye!
The increase in his cultivation level was like a shot in the arm, instantly jolting Wang Baole awake. At that moment, he noticed that the crystal in his body had absorbed all the recoil. At that moment, there were some cracks on it, and the Spirit Energy within it was continuously released, causing his cultivation level to increase tremendously from the initial third level of the True Breath realm within a few short breaths.
"There's such a thing?!" Wang Baole's breathing quickened. While he was pleasantly surprised, the surrounding crowd had long been in an uproar.
"This Wang Baole is too ruthless, isn't he? He knocked himself until he vomited blood!"
"Six hits, that's unprecedented, but why do I feel as if Wang Baole's body was very unnatural during the last two hits …?"
"He was already kneeling when he closed his eyes, so why did I feel as if he had fainted?"
Amid the noisy discussions of the crowd, as Wang Baole's cultivation level increased noticeably, the clamor grew louder and louder like a storm.
"F * ck!"
"His cultivation level has increased? The aura he's emitting isn't right! "
"I can feel that Wang Baole's cultivation has increased a little!!"
Discussions, shouts, and cries of surprise rose and fell. Lin Tianhao and the other Pavilion Heads were breathing rapidly. As for Wang Baole, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He stood up and felt the increase in his cultivation. His eyes were extremely bright.
"I, Wang Baole, hate cheating the most in my life. I'm using my own skills to beat the drum …" Wang Baole was delighted. He thought that if he could invite the Grand Elder with five beats, he would not be able to invite anyone with six beats. To be safe, Wang Baole took a deep breath and activated the devouring seed in his body again. He controlled his body to lift the drumstick and beat the drum again!
The seventh time!
After a "dong" sound, there seemed to be no movement.
"Seems like it's not enough …." Wang Baole's body was still trembling internally and externally, but the crystal had absorbed all of the tremors. However, he still felt uneasy, so he struck out again!
The eighth time!!
"It should be enough, right? If I keep this up, I'm going to have a cultivation base breakthrough …. "Wang Baole could feel more and more cracks on the crystal. After thinking about it for a moment, his eyes shone with anticipation. Ignoring the possibility of inviting anyone else, he struck out again.
The ninth time!!
The tenth time!!
The sound of the drum echoed out, causing the onlookers to stare in shock. The clamor of discussion had long since died down. The only thing that could be heard was the dumbstruck gazes of the onlookers …. Whether it was Lin Tianhao, the Vice Pavilion Lords, or the Pavilion Lords, all of them were dumbfounded, their minds reeling.
The truth was that Wang Baole had never struck the drum like this before. That was especially true of the last few beats, which had been completed in one go. Although his body looked strange, and even a bit bizarre, the sound of the drum echoed out in all directions.
That was especially true because … it wasn't over yet!
The eleventh time, the twelfth time, the thirteenth time ….
As everyone stared in shock, Wang Baole struck the drum for the seventeenth time. He could take it, but the drumstick couldn't, and shattered into pieces.
This sudden turn of events caused many of the onlookers to begin to murmur to themselves.
"It shattered? Even the drumstick shattered? "
"Could this Wang Baole be transformed from a ferocious beast ….?"
While the onlookers were still in a daze, something even more shocking happened. The moment the drumstick shattered, Wang Baole immediately felt the surface of the crystal in his body shatter. A large amount of spirit energy suddenly erupted and filled his entire body. Under the rapid circulation of spirit energy, his cultivation base immediately broke through, going from the third level of the True Breath Realm to … the fourth level of the True Breath Realm!!
"What the f * ck, his cultivation base … broke through his cultivation base?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"I don't care about Wang Baole's breakthrough. I just want to know who the hell he can invite after striking the drum 17 times!! Aliens? "
The onlookers gradually recovered from their daze and instantly broke the silence from before. An unprecedented uproar erupted, and their voices surged like waves. Lin Tianhao's face was extremely pale, and his vision was pitch black. He had to force himself to not collapse to the ground.
As for the Deputy Pavilion Lord and the others, they all found it difficult to breathe, especially the Pavilion Lord. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked at Wang Baole in shock. Even in his wildest dreams, he would never have imagined that Wang Baole was such a freak …
If he could have predicted this, he definitely wouldn't have thought of suppressing him.
"Seventeen times … Who will it invite?" The Pavilion Lord's heart was filled with bitterness as he mumbled in a daze, feeling uneasy.
Amidst the uproar of the crowd, Wang Baole looked regretfully at the shattered drumstick. He then felt the crystal in his body. The crystal had not completely disappeared, and only its surface had been shattered. At this moment, it seemed to have shrunk greatly. Previously, it was the size of a braised chicken egg, but now it was a braised quail egg …
"I knocked seventeen times … That should be enough to invite a big shot …" Wang Baole blinked and noticed that the onlookers around him had recovered from their shock, but they seemed to be even more excited and expectant than he was. He also saw Lin Tianhao and the Pavilion Lord looking as if they had seen a ghost. While he was excited and proud, he was also naturally filled with curiosity.
Just as Wang Baole's curiosity was piqued, suddenly, the clouds in the sky above the Dharmic Armament Pavilion churned, and a frightening suppressive force descended from the heavens.
This pressure was so strong that it enveloped the entire Upper Academy Island. Although it wasn't strong enough to cause the weather to change, in a sense, it shook the entire area, causing the disciples of all the pavilions to tremble violently and raise their heads in unison.
This was especially so for the crowd from the Middle Peak of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. As they inhaled sharply, their gazes instantly converged on the sky. Lin Tianhao couldn't help but raise his head as well, but his expression was one of confusion.
As for Chen Yutong and the others in the crowd, they seemed to have guessed something. At this moment, their breathing was tense, and their eyes were filled with disbelief. Like the few Deputy Pavilion Lords, they seemed to have thought of something when they raised their heads, and their bodies trembled slightly.
As for the Pavilion Lord, he had obviously confirmed the identity of the person who had arrived. Now, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, and his face was rapidly turning pale. The clouds in the sky suddenly condensed, and under the exclamations of the crowd on Upper Academy Island, they actually faintly … formed a huge face made of clouds!
This face filled half the sky, giving off a feeling of vastness. At the same time, the pressure emanating from it caused the emotions of everyone who saw it to fluctuate, and they almost couldn't control themselves.
As if it was looking down on the earth, this face looked directly at the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, at Middle Peak, and at … Wang Baole!
"Greetings, Grand Supreme Elder!" The Pavilion Lord and the few Deputy Pavilion Lords trembled as they immediately bowed respectfully. Chen Yutong and the others also forced themselves to calm down and pay their respects.
As their voices reached the ears of the surrounding disciples, the expressions of those disciples who had only heard of his name and never seen him immediately changed. Reverence mixed with fanaticism, they paid their respects in unison.
Not only the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, but the other pavilions on Upper Academy Island also did the same. In an instant, the sound of greetings was like a sonic storm that spread in all directions.
Even on Sky Path Island, many figures appeared and looked at Upper Academy Island from afar. Among them, the red-robed Deputy Sect Lord was among them. Beside him stood a person of the same age as him, who had the demeanor of an immortal. He wore a long white robe and had a slight smile on his face.
From the way the two of them stood, it was obvious that the white-robed middle-aged man had a higher status.
"It's this Wang Baole again? This lad is hiding some good fortune. The reason why he was able to knock so many times and invite the Grand Supreme Elder is probably related to that drop of spirit blood, "the white-robed middle-aged man said with a smile. The red-robed Deputy Sect Lord beside him nodded and smiled as well.
"Sect Lord's judgment should be correct. This little fatty is quite interesting. I quite admire him."
The white-robed middle-aged man was the Sect Lord of Ethereal Dao College. At that moment, as the two of them chatted happily, Wang Baole, who was in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, widened his eyes and looked at the sky. He was extremely shocked.
The face in the sky made him feel as though he was facing the might of the heavens. Especially the sorcery that the other party had used to form the face, Wang Baole was even more shocked and enraged.
At the same time, he felt uneasy, thinking about how he had once taught the Grand Supreme Elder's disciple a lesson. Therefore, while his heart was in turmoil, he took a deep breath, braced himself, and cupped his fists.
"Disciple pays his respects to the Grand Supreme Elder!
"This is a Baole Cannon that I developed on my own, inspired by the Fire God Cannon in the fortress. The Dharmic Armament Pavilion Head did not approve of this treasure and implied that it was trash. I am not convinced …
"Grand Supreme Elder, please evaluate it personally!" Wang Baole pointed at the Baole Cannon and spoke quickly. He didn't beat around the bush, cupping his fists again and bowing deeply!
Even though he was nervous, Wang Baole, who held grudges, would still take revenge when it was time. Now was the time to do so!
The moment he said that, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Head wanted to curse. He thought to himself, When did I say that it was trash? Aren't you lying through your teeth and slandering me?
He was extremely anxious about Wang Baole's complaint. At this moment, he was about to bite the bullet and explain himself. However, in an instant, a sharp gaze fell from the face in the sky and swept across the crowd, causing the Pavilion Head's words to be stuck in his throat. Finally, the gaze focused on the Baole Cannon that Wang Baole had refined.
The Dharmic Armament Pavilion instantly fell silent. Everyone held their breaths and watched respectfully. The Pavilion Head and a few Deputy Pavilion Heads were anxious and uneasy. Lin Tianhao's face was pale …
The gaze in the sky seemed to be able to penetrate the interior of the Baole Cannon and clearly see all the structure and inscriptions within. Very quickly, the gaze brightened, as though it was shocked. It took a few more careful looks before retracting its gaze. Following that, an authoritative voice reverberated throughout the entire Upper Academy Island!
"Excellent!"
