At that moment, in the plaza of the Ethereal City Lord Residence, the guests were chatting and joking with one another in small groups. They talked about everything, from cruisers to luxury goods, from luxury goods to cultivation, and finally, about the Mystic Luna Realm that was about to open.
All sorts of topics were discussed. Laughter rang out from time to time, filling the air. There were even maidservants from the City Lord Residence who weaved in and out with wine, serving fine wine to the distinguished guests.
As the host, Lin Tianhao was surrounded by many friends. As they chatted and laughed, his elegant demeanor and handsome appearance won the admiration of some of the female cultivators from the other Dao Colleges.
Li Yi was one of them. She was holding a glass of wine and looking at Lin Tianhao with a smile. As she listened to his humorous words, she pursed her lips and smiled. She couldn't help but compare him to Wang Baole in her heart. That comparison instantly made her feel that Wang Baole was a pile of sh * t …
Besides Lin Tianhao, Zhuo Yixian, as the direct descendant of the Zhuo family of the Five Generation Sky Clan, had no shortage of people who wanted to befriend him. There were both men and women, and they chatted happily with him.
As for the children of the councilors, they had been superior since they were young. Although they flaunted their wealth, deep down, every one of them had their own outstanding qualities under the tutelage of their respective family clans. Be it in terms of speech or cultivation, they were much better than the average person.
This was especially so because many of them weren't like Lin Tianhao, who was the only son in the family. They had older brothers or sisters. Compared to their older brothers whose cultivation surpassed theirs, although their cultivation wasn't at the Foundation Establishment realm, their lives were much more enjoyable.
However, due to their excellent education and self-restraint, most of them kept their arrogance in check when they were with the prodigies of the four major Dao Colleges. While they befriended each other, they also tried to network.
It could be said that the people gathered here could already, in a sense, represent some of the outstanding talents of this generation of the Federation. Even though many of them would be gradually eliminated with the passage of time, some of them were bound to emerge as great figures in the future.
For example, Li Xiu was one of them. The word "Xiu" in his name didn't describe a woman, but meant excellence. Naturally, Li Xiu wasn't a female cultivator, but a tall youth.
As the son of a councilor, although he had an older sister whose cultivation was infinitely close to the Core Formation realm, he was the only male of his generation. Therefore, the gazes and expectations on him far exceeded those of ordinary people.
At that moment, he was holding a wine glass and sitting to one side lazily. Many councilors' sons and another, as though he was their leader.. Even Lin Tianhao didn't fawn over him. but be courteous.
Glancing at Lin Tianhao, who was talking to Li Yi, Li Xiu asked calmly, "I heard that there's a Wang Baole in the Ethereal Dao College. Tianhao, you're also from the Ethereal Dao College. Are you familiar with Wang Baole?"
"Wang Baole …" Seeing Li Xiu's interest in Wang Baole, Lin Tianhao thought for a moment. If it had been in the past, he would definitely have seized the opportunity to secretly sow discord between Li Xiu and Wang Baole before they met. However, after some thought, Lin Tianhao shook his head slightly.
"I'm not very familiar with him. I don't know much about him."
"Oh?" Hearing Lin Tianhao's reply, Li Xiu's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He understood Lin Tianhao. Although his words seemed simple, he could hear some deeper meaning.
Just as Li Xiu was deep in thought, Li Yi snorted coldly. Although both of them had the same surname, they were clearly not from the same family.
She said disdainfully, "I'm more familiar with this Wang Baole. This person is despicable, shameless, and extremely despicable. His entire person is filled with evil intentions. This kind of person will sooner or later be cut into pieces and castrated!"
When Li Yi spoke, quite a number of people in the area heard her words and looked over. Li Xiu also had a curious look on her face. She was about to continue asking when, suddenly, a roar that sounded like heavenly thunder came rumbling from the sky in the distance.
The sound was so loud that it reverberated in all directions. It also stirred up a strong wind that blew the surrounding trees and stirred up clouds of dust. Everyone in the square looked up in surprise.
Lin Tianhao, Zhuo Yixian, Li Yi, Li Xiu, and the other elites were the same. They immediately turned their heads and looked at the sky where the roar came from. The moment they looked over, everyone's eyes widened. Some of them could not help but exclaim.
"What is that!?!?"
In the distant sky, a black dot appeared amidst the surging clouds. At first glance, this black dot looked very small, but in the blink of an eye, it kept growing bigger. After a few breaths of time, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a gigantic figure dressed in metal armor. It was the size of a small mountain.
The Diamond Ape had arrived!
It had a savage aura, black hair that peeked out of its armor, and crimson eyes. When it flapped its wings, a fierce wind sprang up. As soon as the Diamond Ape appeared, it caused the hearts of everyone present to tremble violently!!
"A beast!!"
"Foundation Establishment …. A Foundation Establishment beast!!"
Gasps could be heard. It wasn't just the Chosen who were shocked. Many of the commoners in Misty City were also shocked. When they saw the Diamond Ape, their faces filled with shock, and they began to back up in astonishment.
It must be noted that the Vajra Ape was over ninety meters tall, and its outrageous armor made it look like a Beast God. Furthermore, it had a Foundation Establishment Cultivation base, which was powerful enough to sweep out in all directions. The pressure it emanated was enough to cause anyone who saw it to tremble.
Its astonishing physical body also increased the deterrence by leaps and bounds.
As it approached and its aura spread, the crowd in the square of the City Lord Manor instinctively retreated. Even the guards of the City Lord Manor were alarmed and fearful.
Fortunately, there were Ethereal Dao College disciples in the crowd. They obviously recognized the Diamond Ape. There were also people from other Dao Colleges who seemed to have heard of the Diamond Ape from Ethereal Dao College.
"It's the Diamond Ape from Beast Taming Pavilion!!"
"Heavens, why is it here!!"
"This is … Ethereal Dao College's Diamond Ape!"
With the continuous shouts, the crowd finally calmed down. However, they were still shocked by the rapidly approaching Diamond Ape. Soon, as the Diamond Ape neared and became clearer in the eyes of the crowd, the silhouettes of Wang Baole and the other two, who were sitting on its shoulders, were immediately seen by the crowd.
"There's someone! There are people on the beast's shoulders!! "
"How is this possible? Ethereal Dao College's War Beast … is being used as a mount?!!"
Before anyone could get a good look, a thunderous boom rang out as the Vajra Ape descended from the sky. With a loud boom, the earth trembled as the mountain-like Vajra Ape landed on the plaza in the City Lord's Mansion.
As it landed, it caused the ground to tremble. The Diamond Ape seemed to be very pleased with itself. It ignored the tiny humans on the ground, raised its head, and let out a roar. It pounded its chest with both hands, producing loud thuds. As the crowd watched on in shock, it finally squatted down, allowing Wang Baole and the other two people on its shoulders to be clearly seen by the people who had goosebumps!
Following which, the three of them leaped down one by one. The first to catch the attention of the crowd was Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan. Zhao Yameng, who was dressed in a white robe, looked like a fairy. She was pure and refined, exuding an air of elegance. Especially her beautiful face and calm gaze, she exuded a unique charm.
As for Zhuo Yifan who was beside her, he was tall and straight, like a tree in the wind. His handsome appearance and his eyes that did not contain any evil aura made him seem like the sun. Everyone who saw him would be able to feel the dazzling light emitted from his body.
One of them was handsome, while the other was beautiful. Whether it was their figure, height, or temperament, they all seemed to have reached the perfection of the human world. Anyone who was in front of them without confidence would feel ashamed of their inferiority. Their brilliance would be taken away, and they would become dull and unnoticeable.
However … Wang Baole, who was between the two of them, was clearly inferior to the other two in terms of appearance. His height and figure were also not perfect. However, he did not lose any of his brilliance.
He stood there, and for some reason, he gave off a strange feeling. It was as if … he was the leader of the three of them!
If one looked closely, one could see that both Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng were subconsciously lagging behind Wang Baole by half a step!
The others did not know why this was so. Even Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng did not notice the change in their mentality. It was because of the scene in Coulomb Basin. Wang Baole stood in front of them like a mountain. Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng would never forget that!
It could be said that the impact of that battle on the three of them was huge. They did not usually show it, but in their hearts, they had already acknowledged Wang Baole's position.
The change in his mentality affected his aura. In addition, there was no such thing as lack of confidence in Wang Baole's dictionary. Therefore, Wang Baole, who stood between Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He patted his tummy, which had shrunk because of his puffed out chest, and that shocked everyone.
