After taking the key, Wang Baole didn't say anything. Instead, he stood on the mountain rock beside Dugu Lin and looked up at the night sky. In the night sky, he could faintly see ripples spreading out in all directions, causing the map to distort and blur. This wasn't the first time such a sight had appeared in the night sky. Twenty-four hours ago, it had happened as well. That … was the sign that the teleportation was about to begin.
"It's over." Wang Baole said softly. He retracted his gaze from the night sky and lowered his head to look calmly at Dugu Lin. He looked at his opponent, who was lying on the ground and seemed to be struggling to get up. Blood was still flowing out of his mouth. Wang Baole shook his head. He didn't need to think about the high officials' autobiographies in his mind. Based on his personality, he naturally reached out his right hand to Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin had lost all his strength, but he still struggled to get up. When he saw Wang Baole's right hand, he froze for a moment. After a few breaths of silence, he suddenly laughed. He didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He grabbed Wang Baole's right hand. Although his body was still trembling, the moment he grabbed it, Wang Baole held it back. With a tug, Dugu Lin used the force of the tug to sit up.
As if it had affected his wound, Dugu Lin's lips twitched. He panted as he looked at Wang Baole. His gaze was complicated, emotional, and sympathetic.
"Is there anyone else in the Federation who is as powerful as you?" In the end, Dugu Lin couldn't help but ask.
"If I, Wang Baole, say I'm second in looks, no one would dare to say they're first. But if we're talking about battle prowess, there are still many people who can beat me to the ground." Wang Baole lifted his head and spoke coolly. If someone else had said those words, they might have been embarrassed. But Wang Baole had hypnotized himself countless times. When it came to his looks, he had taken them seriously … especially now that he had really lost weight!
Dugu Lin hadn't interacted with Wang Baole before. When he heard those words, he was clearly stunned. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face. Rumbling sounds echoed through the trial grounds. The will of teleportation grew more and more obvious. The spectators, as well as the people in the outside world, were shocked by the process and the outcome of the battle. Everyone was silent.... teleportation................
This was the second teleportation to the trial grounds. Anyone who didn't have a key would be eliminated. As of now, Wang Baole was the only one who had a key.
Seeing that the teleportation had been activated, Dugu Lin took a deep breath after feeling the teleportation outside his body and the rejection from the trial grounds. However, he couldn't help but look at Wang Baole's face, which had obviously slimmed down. He was in a daze for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
"Your Federation's sense of beauty … Ahem, I know … You and I should have been irreconcilable enemies." After he finished speaking, Dugu Lin shook his head. He wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat. Even though the price he had to pay for this battle was enormous, the will to fight burned in his eyes again. He looked at Wang Baole and spoke slowly.
"Wang Baole, this battle was very satisfying. After this, I will go into seclusion. You have to work hard, because when I come out of seclusion, I will fight you again!" As Dugu Lin spoke, the will to fight in his eyes grew stronger. Gradually, his body turned blurry as the teleportation portal activated. However, the will to fight in his eyes seemed to be something that the teleportation portal couldn't erase.
"I will wait for you to fight me!" After Wang Baole spoke calmly, Dugu Lin smiled. His body turned blurry and disappeared. At the same time, the bodies of the other spectators also turned blurry. However, the moment they were teleported away, they all cupped their fists and bowed to Wang Baole.
Their eyes were filled with respect and complicated feelings, as well as awe. This was because they deeply understood that from this moment on, no one in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace dared to underestimate Wang Baole. Even if there were some who didn't agree with him, they still had to treat him with respect on the surface. After all, the rules of the Dao Palace were that the strong preyed on the weak, and the strong were respected!
At this moment, as the crowd dispersed, Zhao Yameng and Kongdao also looked happy and excited. After they disappeared, only Wang Baole was left in the trial grounds!
Within the trial grounds, between heaven and earth, there was no one else. This silence calmed Wang Baole's heart. In this silence, he raised his head again and looked at the night sky. He recalled everything that had happened since he entered the trial grounds. Gradually, a strange light appeared in his eyes as he asked in his heart.
"Little Missy, when I become stronger one day, will I be able to store this ancient greenish-bronze sword in my scabbard?"
Little Missy, who hadn't responded since entering the trial grounds, spoke softly in Wang Baole's mind after a moment of silence.
"Yes!"
Wang Baole smiled. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward. As he was the only one left in the trial grounds, this trial had ended after everyone had been teleported away. Therefore, the teleportation formation didn't dissipate like it had yesterday. Instead, it was waiting for Wang Baole's return.
At that moment, he lifted his foot and stepped into the void from the mountain rock. As his foot landed, his body became a blur. First, it was his feet, then his limbs, and finally his entire body disappeared. The trial that everyone in the Holy Zhi Palace had paid close attention to was now over!
Wang Baole's vision blurred. When the teleportation ended and everything in front of him became clear, he saw the unique sky in the Dao Palace, the sea of fire in the distance, the great hall at the top of the mountain, and the countless figures in the square where he was. He could feel their gazes converging on him!
Among these people were Zhou Chudao, Dugu Lin, and the others whom he had defeated. There were also Zhao Yameng, Kongdao, and the other Seedlings of the Federation. However, regardless of whether they were familiar or unfamiliar with him, even the Yuanying and Annihilator, all of their gazes were focused on Wang Baole at this moment.
The entire square was silent.
To the disciples of the Dao Palace, even though Wang Baole was from the Federation, most of the cultivators instinctively respected the strong. In this trial, the combat strength that Wang Baole had displayed was enough to shock everyone to the point that it was indelible. However, there were still some who couldn't help but feel jealous. However, they didn't dare to show it on their faces. After all, the current Wang Baole was no longer the same as before!
He had defeated Zhou Chudao and Dugu Lin. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the top disciple of the Dao Palace!
Even the Yuanying looked at Wang Baole meaningfully. There was no doubt that the ripples caused by the battle between Wang Baole and Dugu Lin had surpassed the Core Formation realm and reached the level of Yuanying!
Such a prodigy was enough to make them value him. Even the gloomy-looking Annihilator revealed a hint of admiration when he looked at Wang Baole. However, there was more regret and pity in his eyes. He felt that such a talent wasn't part of his bloodline.
As for the Leisurely Taoist, he narrowed his eyes and plastered a smile on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Amidst everyone's silence, Wang Baole slowly took a deep breath. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Feng Qiuran and the other two seated at the head of the table!
When he bowed, Feng Qiuran's heart surged. She stood up immediately. Beside her, Annihilator also stood up slowly with a silent sigh. Then, the Leisurely Taoist followed suit. When the three of them stood up, the Yuanying around them also stood up. Eventually, all the disciples in the square stood up as well!
"Ring the bell!" Feng Qiuran spoke directly to Annihilator. If it had been any other time, Annihilator would have been displeased. However, at that moment, he didn't say anything and tacitly agreed with Feng Qiuran's actions.
"Congratulations to my Dao Palace disciple, Wang Baole. First place in the Hyacinth Leaf trial. You will enjoy three Hyacinth Leaves alone and can make your own arrangements!" Amidst Feng Qiuran's warm laughter, the sound of the bell reverberated throughout the entire Dao Palace.
The sound of the bell was magnificent. When it reverberated in all directions, Wang Baole, who was the center of attention, couldn't help but feel emotional. He looked at Zhao Yameng and the others and smiled. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed again to Feng Qiuran and the other two!
"Thank you, Elders!"
Following Wang Baole's words, the Federation Seedlings immediately erupted into cheers. As the cheers reverberated, the other Dao Palace disciples also recovered from their previous silence. All of them started discussing with various thoughts. Some even took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the Federation Seedlings. As the entire scene became lively, Xie Haiyang, who was in the crowd, also revealed an excited glint in his eyes. He began to reap the rewards after the gambling session.
The three closed bowls that he had pressed down previously were also brought up. Hence, in front of the people around him, Xie Haiyang laughed heartily and opened the first bowl. There was a jade slip inside with three words engraved on it. It was … Wang Baole!
After that, the second and third bowls were opened. Without exception, they all had the words … Wang Baole!
