During this period of time, the donkey's misbehavior had caused Wang Baole great losses. He had to pay a hefty fine. Although he was the dean of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, he couldn't go back on his word when the donkey ate something from his own academy. Hence, he could only spend money to repair it.
Although Kim Do-myung had supplemented the donkey, the donkey was a bottomless pit. Even now, it was still eating and eating every day. Sometimes, Wang Baole even felt that he wasn't rearing a donkey, but a pig.
He had considered slaughtering the donkey many times, but he couldn't bear to do so … After all, the donkey had eaten at Kim Do-myung's place and was about to produce an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament.
If he slaughtered the donkey just like that, it would be a complete loss. Hence, Wang Baole gritted his teeth and prepared to teach the donkey an unforgettable lesson.
"Your skin is thick and you won't learn your lesson even if I beat you up. Even if I release a mosquito to bite you, it won't work, will it?" Wang Baole stared at the donkey gnawing at the door frame. He gritted his teeth and released … the gray mosquito!
That was his trump card. The gray mosquito could even kill a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator with a single bite. That was proof of its potent venom. However, considering that he couldn't poison the donkey to death, Wang Baole controlled the gray mosquito, controlling the amount of venom it contained, and sent it towards the donkey.
The gray mosquito was extremely fast. It closed in on the donkey in an instant. However, the moment it got close, the donkey looked up curiously and bit down on the gray mosquito. It swallowed the gray mosquito in an instant, as if it wasn't satisfied with such a small amount of meat. It even looked at Wang Baole with resentment.
But soon, Wang Baole sneered. The donkey's eyes suddenly widened. At the same time, it let out a cry and its body started trembling. It was as if there was an itch in its body that was several times more intense than the one on the surface of its skin. It suddenly exploded.
Instantly, the smug donkey cried out in pain. It took a few bites of the door frame that it couldn't bear to finish in one go. After that, it took a few bites of the wall. However, it realized that it was useless this time. It was still itchy. Hence, the donkey panicked and started gnawing at the walls of Wang Baole's residence.
If it had been any other time, Wang Baole would have stopped it. But today, he was determined to let the donkey know that no matter how much it ate, it couldn't deal with his gray mosquito.
Hence, he stood there proudly, risking the fact that the entire residence would be eaten by the donkey. He allowed the donkey to howl and gnaw at the walls. Just like that, time passed. After the time it took for a joss stick to burn, Wang Baole walked out of the house. The walls of the house collapsed, and the donkey cried out in pain. However, as it cried out, it continued to eat.
It was hard to imagine how the entire house could fit into the donkey's stomach. Two hours later, under Wang Baole's proud gaze, there was no more house on the ground. Even the debris was gone. However, the donkey was still struggling. It even started to eat the ground …
"Do you admit defeat or not?" Wang Baole said coolly when he saw that it was about time.
The donkey, which was madly gnawing on the ground, turned to look at Wang Baole when it heard that. It was about to beg for mercy when its expression suddenly changed. It lowered its head to look at its own body. Its eyes lit up, and it shook its head proudly. In that instant, its cultivation level had broken through and reached the third level of the True Breath realm.
Wang Baole's eyes widened in disbelief. What was even more inconceivable was that … the donkey had actually recovered! What made Wang Baole's breathing stop, and what shocked him even more was that the connection between him and the gray mosquito had actually … disappeared!
Even though the donkey had swallowed the gray mosquito, it hadn't been harmed at all. It had remained in the donkey's stomach, and Wang Baole had been able to sense and control it clearly. That was why the donkey hadn't been able to get rid of it no matter how much it ate.
But in that instant, when the donkey's cultivation level had exploded, the gray mosquito had somehow melted inside the donkey's body … Wang Baole was very sure that it had not disappeared, but melted. He did not know if it was because of the donkey or the gray mosquito itself, but in any case … the mosquito had melted.
And after it had melted, it seemed to have fused with the donkey's flesh and blood …
This feeling was as if the gray mosquito and the donkey … had assimilated to a certain extent!
While Wang Baole's thoughts were shaken, they were also extremely messy. In a daze, he hurriedly checked his scabbard. But very quickly, he became suspicious. This was because he realized that there were signs that another gray mosquito was about to be born from the scabbard.
But with his control over the scabbard, he could clearly sense that … this gray mosquito that would take some time to be born … looked the same as the previous one, but its aura was different!
It was as if the previous mosquito had indeed melted, and a new one had appeared. Furthermore, in order to nurture this second gray mosquito, his scabbard had become somewhat dimmer, as if it had consumed a great deal of energy.
In his confusion, Wang Baole quickly went to ask Little Missy about it. However, it seemed that even she was puzzled. She looked at Wang Baole with a strange expression for a long time, and then told him that Wang Baole's scabbard was his Life Essence Magical Device, and was filled with countless variables. Even she didn't know the specifics.
After leaving Little Missy, Wang Baole stared at the donkey for a long time. In the end, he grabbed it and pulled it in front of him. Ignoring the donkey's flailing hooves and squealing, he used his cultivation base to examine it. He searched the donkey's body thoroughly, and confirmed that there was no gray mosquito.
However, as he examined it, Wang Baole noticed that the donkey's internal organs seemed to have mutated. They had turned gray, but that didn't seem to have any effect on the donkey. Instead, it seemed to have made the donkey livelier.
However, that wasn't what shocked Wang Baole the most. What shocked him even more was … that he had actually established a telepathic connection with the donkey …
Wang Baole didn't quite understand it. Although the donkey had been by his side before, it was still a living creature, not a magical item. Therefore, it had been unable to establish a connection with Wang Baole and recognize him as its master.
Furthermore, making a ferocious beast recognize a master was an extremely mysterious and difficult task even among the Federation's Beast Tamers. There seemed to be a limit to the number of ferocious beasts that could do so.
"Could it be that the function of the gray mosquito … is to assimilate? To a certain extent, it's like recognizing a master?" Wang Baole was shocked. He quickly tried to control the donkey.
"Get down, little donkey!" Wang Baole let go of the donkey. After giving the order, the donkey suddenly stood up and ran toward the door frame. It stopped there and looked back at Wang Baole. Then, with a smug look on its face, it called out a few times.
Wang Baole's face was a bit unsightly. He gave another order, but in the end, he realized that no matter what he said, the donkey still did as it pleased. He felt helpless, as if his ability to assimilate the gray mosquito wasn't complete enough.
The donkey seemed to be able to tell that Wang Baole couldn't do anything to it. Therefore, it lifted its head, and the smug look in its eyes was no longer there. In fact, there was even a hint of arrogance. Even the sound of its cries was much louder than usual.
"Son! Son! Son! "
Wang Baole pulled at his hair in frustration. He really didn't know what to do with the donkey. He'd hit it, he'd bitten it, and he'd even used the gray mosquito. Unless he killed it, there was no way he could teach the donkey a lesson it would never forget.
In his helplessness, the donkey hopped around and cried out even more cheerfully. Wang Baole was extremely annoyed. He lifted his head and roared.
"Shut up!"
"Son …."
Almost at the same time that Wang Baole roared, the donkey, which had been crying out happily with its mouth wide open, suddenly stopped. Its mouth snapped shut. Wang Baole suddenly realized that something wasn't right. He looked over and met the donkey's gaze.
Gradually, everything went quiet. Wang Baole and the donkey's pupils constricted. One was shocked, the other was astonished ….
After a long moment passed, the donkey began to get anxious. It tried to open its mouth, but realized that it was useless. It was almost as if its mouth didn't belong to it. That scared it even more than when Wang Baole had kicked it in the crotch.
Wang Baole's eyes began to shine brightly as he thought about what had just happened.
"Could it be that, for some reason, I can't give out big orders, but small orders like shutting up can be carried out?!" Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole decided to give it a try.
"Let go!"
"Son! Son! "
"Shut up!"
"Son …."
After trying a few more times, Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. He looked at the terrified donkey and laughed heartily. Suddenly, he felt as if the world was beautiful.
