The moment these two words were uttered, it was as if the moment they were uttered, it was as if the law had been enforced.
The Pavilion Master seemed to have lost all his strength. His face was pale and bloodless, but he quickly lowered his head and was extremely respectful. If he was behaving like this, the Deputy Pavilion Masters behind him were even more so.
As for the surrounding crowd, although this matter had nothing to do with them, they had personally witnessed the entire process of a small fry like Wang Baole turning the tables. They were all excited and even felt a sense of honor, and they all bowed towards the sky again.
Lin Tianhao felt as if everything in his body had been sucked out. The bitterness in his heart was like the sea, and all the sounds around him seemed to be far away from his ears. In his confusion, he couldn't help but look at Wang Baole. A deep sense of helplessness surfaced in his mind.
Many images flashed before his eyes. From the first time he saw Wang Baole, to the time and time again when he tried to target him and failed, a strange thought gradually formed in his mind.
Even I feel like I'm using a cheat code in my life … but even so, I'm still not as good as this Wang Baole. This guy … must be using a cheat code too! I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him … In his bitterness, Lin Tianhao was completely disheartened.
As for Wang Baole, in his agitation, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed deeply towards the sky.
"Thank you, Grand Supreme Elder! The Grand Elder is fair and impartial, and his words carry enormous weight. Clearly, clearly, clearly! "
After Wang Baole finished bowing, the face in the sky seemed to look at Wang Baole. Undetectable to outsiders, a faint smile seemed to appear at the corner of its mouth. Then, the face became blurry, gradually turning back into clouds and dissipating.
At the same time, the pressure from the sky also slowly disappeared. After the entire Upper Academy Island returned to normal, Wang Baole looked at the Pavilion Master energetically.
"Pavilion Master, quickly announce the rankings again!"
Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, Wang Baole couldn't be bothered to repair the situation or pretend to be respectful. When the Pavilion Master heard his words, his expression turned extremely ugly. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and spoke.
"In this Armament Soldier Assessment, Wang Baole … takes first place!" With that, he turned and left, his face grim. As he left, the Vice Pavilion Lords exchanged glances, then looked in the direction of Wang Baole. They shook their heads, sighed, and then nodded to express their apologies and goodwill. Then they left.
Seeing that the Pavilion Lord and the others were gone, Chen Yutong immediately strode forward to offer her congratulations. Wang Baole laughed heartily as he exchanged pleasantries with the others. He was a smooth talker, and it didn't take long for him to get into a good conversation with everyone. After exchanging some pleasantries, he left the square and returned to his Immortal's cave.
He didn't pay attention to Lin Tianhao the whole time, and Lin Tianhao had obviously understood. He had left silently, as if he had accepted his fate.
Time flew by and a few days had passed. Wang Baole's priority had been recorded in the files. At the same time, the transfer order and appointment of the Deputy Pavilion Head of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion had also been issued.
Out of the original four Deputy Pavilion Heads, one was transferred out of the Dao College to take up a post in the Federation. At the same time, Chen Yutong was promoted to Deputy Pavilion Head!
As for the vacant post of the person-in-charge of the College Administrative Department, there were originally too many veteran Armament Soldiers vying for it. There was supposed to be a fierce battle, and it was likely that the post would be vacant for a period of time. However, due to Wang Baole's outstanding performance and priority, Chen Yutong's Master and Grandmaster were able to suppress all other competitors. Without much resistance, Wang Baole was promoted to the top person in the College Administrative Department!
To them, it was a double blessing. Although the competition for the position of Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion had reached the stage of three selections and was still ongoing, too many people weren't qualified to pay attention or understand such a battle that involved the upper echelons. Even if Wang Baole wanted to, he couldn't help.
Therefore, after celebrating with Chen Yutong, Wang Baole officially took up the post of Head of the College Administrative Department.
On his first day in office, Wang Baole tidied up his cave abode. Looking at himself in the mirror in his Armament Soldier Daoist robe, he looked at himself from different angles and sighed with regret.
"It's too perfect …"
Amidst this regret, Wang Baole left the cave abode in high spirits and headed to the College Administrative Department. As soon as he appeared, he saw more than ten beautiful female disciples in front of the entrance of the College Administrative Department. While they were welcoming him, there was also a banner with the words "Congratulations to Wang Baole" written on it.
At the same time, the four brigade leaders of the College Administrative Department were already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing him, Zhou Penghai was the first to step forward. The others followed suit and greeted him respectfully.
"Greetings to the Armament Soldier!"
Wang Baole was no stranger to these four brigade leaders. Therefore, after nodding with a smile, he swept his gaze across the female disciples and saw the banner. He felt relieved, but his expression became slightly more serious.
"You guys … Don't do this kind of thing in the future," Wang Baole criticized.
Zhou Penghai immediately agreed. The other three brigade leaders also hurriedly reflected on their actions. They clustered around Wang Baole and chatted as they walked to the main pavilion. On the way, all the disciples of the College Administrative Department who saw Wang Baole greeted him respectfully with reverence.
Just like that, Wang Baole arrived at the main pavilion under the respectful welcome. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Penghai immediately poured tea for Wang Baole and brought it to him respectfully. Standing at the side, he reported the results of the recent work of the College Administrative Department in a low voice.
Listening to Zhou Penghai's narration, Wang Baole nodded from time to time. After he finished listening, he picked up the teacup. Zhou Penghai quickly lowered his head and left respectfully. Wang Baole quickly put down the teacup and stood up with bright eyes. Looking at the main pavilion, he touched here and there, feeling extremely satisfied.
Although my status is different now, I still have to work harder on my cultivation and the refinement of spirit treasures. Satisfied, Wang Baole sat comfortably on the reclining chair and took out a bag of snacks to eat as he pondered his future path.
Now that I'm already at the fourth level of the Spiritual Breath Realm, I have to work harder and strive to reach the peak of the True Breath Realm as soon as possible … Then, I can prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm. Wang Baole's heart was filled with longing as he thought of the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the battle at the stronghold.
I can't neglect the refinement of spirit treasures … I have to study the fourth-grade spirit treasures.
Also, the materials for my Dragon Tooth are almost ready. If it can reach the fourth-grade after refinement, its power will be extraordinary … Also, General Zhou hasn't given me the tooth of the Core Formation Realm Beast King that he promised me … Did he forget? At the thought of that, Wang Baole immediately sat up straight. He was conflicted as to whether he should remind him.
Forget it, it's not good to rush things like this. Let's wait a little longer. If he still hasn't given me a reply, I'll find a reason to visit the stronghold personally.
After confirming what he had to do in the future, Wang Baole gathered the four brigade leaders and gave them some simple instructions. Then, he left the College Administrative Department and returned to his cave abode to begin his cultivation.
The days passed, and everything went smoothly. Half a month later, Wang Baole successfully refined the Dragon Tooth.
Looking at the Numinous Treasure that resembled a spiked club in front of him, Wang Baole left the Dao College and tested it out in the wilderness. He saw the Numinous Treasure that exuded spirit force after it was unfurled, as well as the destructive force formed when it was thrown out. Although it was a pity that he didn't have the Beast King's tooth, Wang Baole was still very satisfied.
When the Beast King's tooth arrives, I'll refine it again. Its power will probably increase by a lot.
After putting away the Dragon Tooth, Wang Baole was overjoyed. He stepped onto the droplet airship and flew back to Upper Academy Island.
After entering Upper Academy Island, especially near the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, almost everyone who saw Wang Baole paid attention to him and even greeted him. Wang Baole smiled and nodded, greeting them. He was also feeling emotional.
After becoming an Armament Soldier of the College Administrative Department, the change in his status, as well as the others' attitude towards him, had put him in a good mood. That was especially so for the female disciples. Wang Baole felt that many of them were looking at him with hooked gazes.
"I've already found the feeling of being watched at all times like when I was in the Lower Academy Island. As for those girls … I can understand. After all, there are very few people in the world who are as young, rich, handsome, and powerful as me."
If it were anyone else, they would probably be wagging their tails long ago. They wouldn't be as diligent, low-key, and loyal as me. Wang Baole sighed. He felt that he had discovered another strength of his — humility.
Immersed in his feelings of humility, Wang Baole was about to speed back to his cave abode when he suddenly heard a familiar roar in the distant sky. This sound made his expression change. He immediately saw a familiar figure rushing over from afar.
That figure was the Diamond Ape.
It seemed to have been secretly watching Wang Baole for a long time. Therefore, even though Wang Baole had changed his airship, the Diamond Ape immediately recognized him and flew over to give him a slap.
"It's ambushing me again!" Wang Baole was shocked and angry. Fortunately, after experiencing a few ambushes from the Diamond Ape, he had developed a good habit of constantly paying attention to his surroundings. With his cultivation at the fourth level of the True Breath realm, his reaction was faster. Although the Diamond Ape's slap still brushed past the side of the airship, under his control, he managed to avoid the fate of being sent flying multiple times. After barely landing on the ground, Wang Baole rushed out pathetically and looked up at the sky angrily.
The Diamond Ape in the sky was very displeased when it saw Wang Baole's quick reaction this time. It bared its teeth at Wang Baole, turned around, shook its butt, and flew back to the Beast Taming Pavilion with disdain.
The scene was witnessed by many Dharmic Armament Pavilion disciples, and they all had strange looks on their faces that contained a hint of mockery. Even though they didn't discuss it openly, many of them had an impression of the past between Wang Baole and the Diamond Ape.
Looking at the Diamond Ape's despicable appearance and noticing that the surrounding people had seen his pathetic appearance, Wang Baole felt that his reputation had been tarnished. His old hatred surfaced in his heart as he glared.
