After going through the formalities of registration, receiving the cultivation technique and Daoist robes, Wang Baole wore the red Daoist robes unique to specially recruited students. He stood in front of a building near the mountaintop that was remote but had beautiful scenery. His grin was so wide that it almost reached his ears.
In front of him was a purple stone door. When the stone door opened, what was revealed was a cave abode!
"This is the legendary cave abode!" Wang Baole could not help but feel excited. Most students lived in dormitory-like lofts. Only a few people had the right to live in cave abodes on the mountaintop.
After all, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. A mountain could have more lofts, but cave abodes were fixed and difficult to increase. Furthermore, cave abodes had array formations to gather spirit, so the spirit energy was naturally much richer than lofts.
Therefore, even though Wang Baole's cave abode was not big, it was enough to make countless students envious.
Feeling his unique Daoist robes and looking at his cave abode, Wang Baole finally could not help but laugh out loud when he saw that there was no one around. He felt high-spirited. After walking into the cave abode, he realized that although it was not big, there was a balcony that extended twenty feet out of the mountaintop. Standing there made him feel like he was standing in the sky. Feeling pleased with himself, he decided to sit on the balcony and look at the sky and land outside. He was in an especially good mood as he took out a bag of snacks.
In this good mood, Wang Baole ate the snacks as he opened the Ethereal Dao College's unique martial cultivation technique. He saw three large words written in bold strokes on the first page!
Ancient Martial Formula!
This Ancient Martial Formula was not unique to the Dharmic Armament faculty. It was a basic cultivation technique that all the students in the Lower Academy's faculties had to learn. When freshmen entered the school, they would choose different faculties and enter different faculties. This Ancient Martial Formula was a basic cultivation technique that served the faculties and supported the knowledge of each faculty.
"The three levels of the Ancient Martial realm are Blood Qi, Physical Seal, and Pulse Enrichment!" As dusk approached, the wind became much cooler. As it blew on Wang Baole's body, it made him feel very comfortable. His expression when looking at the cultivation technique also became much more focused.
When the sunset glow on the horizon was gradually dyed by the dark night, Wang Baole raised his head and finished reading the entire ancient martial arts manual. He finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the ancient martial realm.
"Those who possess Qi and blood possess boundless strength, while those who possess Body Sealing possess incomparable precision. Once one reaches Pulse Enrichment … one's body will reach the pinnacle!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He recalled the scene of the red-clothed youth, Chen Ziheng, whipping the mountain range, and his eyes began to burn.
"If you want to become the President of the Federation, you must have ancient martial arts. Moreover, practicing ancient martial arts can also help you lose weight. It's like killing several birds with one stone." In his excitement, Wang Baole was about to start practicing, but his expression changed. He raised his right hand and rummaged in his bosom, taking out half a black mask.
Looking at the mask, Wang Baole fell into deep thought. He couldn't forget that during the test, the mask had become illusory and the blurry words that had appeared on it.
"This is definitely a treasure!" Wang Baole's heart raced. His parents were both involved in archaeology. It was precisely because of this that the house was filled with these tattered things.
Wang Baole had also fantasized that there might be treasures hidden in these antiques. However, since he was young, he had played with almost every antique. He had even secretly dripped his blood on them, but he had never seen anything extraordinary about them.
At this moment, holding the mask, he carefully studied it again. Other than the fact that the material was a little cold, he still didn't feel that there was anything extraordinary about it. In the end, he thought that the change in the mask had occurred under the special environment of the test. Thus, his eyes lit up.
"It seems that I need to borrow a similar magical artifact. Perhaps I can unlock the secret of this mask!" With this thought in mind, Wang Baole, who was a little tired, returned to his cave abode when he saw that it was already late. He happily unpacked his luggage. There weren't many clothes in his small luggage bag. It was mainly filled with some strange things, and there was even a very large trumpet.
"Every one of these is a treasure that I've collected as an official. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find my luggage in the dream, I wouldn't have to work so hard!" Looking at the treasures in his luggage, Wang Baole was very pleased. He yawned and was about to sleep when suddenly, his body quivered and he sat up abruptly.
"I can't get carried away. There are many allusions in the high officials' autobiographies. However, when one gets carried away, extreme joy often leads to sorrow!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. After suppressing his excitement, he began to ponder over the gazes of the teachers during the day and Goatee's attitude. He also concluded that he was a special recruit. The answer was already clear.
They must have discovered something amiss … As Wang Baole analyzed the situation, he felt a chill in his heart, and a chill ran down his spine.
"I must keep a low profile during this period of time. It's best if I don't have any presence … otherwise, it won't be good!" Wang Baole was worried. He didn't want to lose everything he had now. At this moment, when he had a headache, he couldn't help but lament that he was at a disadvantage because he didn't have a backer.
"I have to think of a way to quickly find a backer."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. With the announcement of the names of the various faculties, this year's students also moved into their respective faculties. After the new students grasped the rules and regulations of the academy, life in the academy was about to get back on track.
During these three days, Wang Baole kept a low profile and began to practice the ancient martial arts. He almost didn't walk out of the entrance of the cave abode for fear of being noticed by Goatee. He thought that after this period of time, perhaps he would be much safer.
However, although his wish was good, as the students settled down, news of their journey and the scenes of the district examinations began to spread on the academy's Spiritnet. It quickly became a hot topic.
After all, this time, there were nearly a hundred hot air balloon airships and nearly a hundred simultaneous district examinations. There were many eye-catching newcomers.
"Have you heard? Among the new students from Heavenly Cloud City, there's a person named Lu Jingnan. He actually set up a trap to kill the Thorny Bone Lizard. He's extremely powerful!"
"That's nothing. I heard that in Phoenix City's examination, there was an expert named Chen Ziheng who was just a hair's breadth away from the second stage of the Ancient Martial Realm, the Physical Seal realm. This person was also invited by eight faculties at the same time. He's very famous!" As the various faculties of the Lower Academy Island discussed this on the Spiritnet, gradually, more people were mentioned.
"This time, the most eye-catching person is Chen Yameng. Legend has it that this girl is born with a spiritual body and can refine spirit stones with 80% purity. She could have entered the number one academy of the Federation, White Deer Dao College, but our Ethereal Dao College paid a huge price to poach her!"
"Chen Yameng is indeed extraordinary, but there's another person who is on par with her, or even surpasses her. That person is Zhuo Yifan. It's said that he was born with the Ink Star Eyes. Every time he activates them, everything he sees will slow down. Furthermore, he has already perfected the Physical Seal realm. His identity is even more mysterious. Rumor has it that he's a member of the Five Generation Sky Clan and has already been internally selected by the Combat faculty!"
Amidst the uproar, the newcomers of this batch rose to fame one after another. Even some of the older students felt immense pressure when they heard the news. As for Wang Baole, even though he wanted to keep a low profile, his status as a specially-recruited student and his performance in the examination were spread by the hundreds of students in Phoenix City's examination. He rose to prominence like a shining star.
"There are only two specially-recruited students in this batch. One of them is Zhuo Yifan, and the other … is Wang Baole! Speaking of Wang Baole, he possesses noble morals and is righteous. He is willing to sacrifice himself for others. In order to save his classmates, when the Red-Boned White Infant Snake appeared, he charged into the sea of snakes. In order to give his classmates a chance at survival, he fed himself to the wolves. He once said that he was a member of the Dao College in life and a soul of the Dao College in death! "
"Also, when Wang Baole finally saw the Ancient Barbaric Ghostly Bear, he struggled to crawl over despite being severely injured and weak. He attempted to use his body to lure the ghostly bear away and save all his classmates!"
These deeds quickly spread, causing Wang Baole's reputation to soar and spread throughout the entire Lower Academy Island.
However, at that moment, Wang Baole logged onto the Spirit Intranet and saw everything through his voice transmission ring. Not only did his heart turn cold, but even his blood was about to turn cold. He felt that a great disaster was about to befall him. He was so frightened that he quickly posted a notice.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Baole. You've misunderstood. I was actually very scared back then. The reason why I charged into the sea of snakes was not because I was selfless, but because I felt that Zhou Xiaoya was very beautiful. I wanted to pursue her. Really …"
Wang Baole endured the pain and posted this message. He wanted to make fun of himself and cool everyone down. He did not dare to be high-profile anymore.
However, he did not expect that the moment he posted the notice, it would quickly receive the approval and replies of countless students. Most of them were female students. All of them expressed their opinions and said that he was a man!
Wang Baole felt his vision darken. He was on the verge of tears. He lamented that he only wanted to cool everyone down, but he did not expect it to increase the temperature. Therefore, he posted another notice.
"Actually, the reason why I blocked the wolves was because I was poisoned. I knew that I was going to die, so I wanted to die a quick death. In the end, the person who saved them was not me. All the credit goes to Chen Ziheng!"
After writing this, Wang Baole was just about to heave a sigh of relief. He felt that since he had pushed all the credit to Chen Ziheng, he should be able to attract attention and cool down the situation.
However … Wang Baole's sigh of relief only lasted for a short while. Chen Ziheng also posted a notice. "In terms of martial arts, Wang Baole is inferior to me. However, in terms of valiance and selflessness, I'm inferior to him!"
The moment the notice was posted, the entire Spirit Intranet was in an uproar. After all, Chen Ziheng was also a celebrity. His words carried a lot of weight and immediately caused countless people to scramble to discuss it. This caused Wang Baole's plan to cool down the situation to collapse once again. The situation heated up once again. For a moment, it even surpassed Chen Yameng's.
All of this made Wang Baole want to kill himself. He was in despair. Tears flowed down his cheeks and his heart was trembling.
"Heavens, are you trying to kill me? Let me go. I was wrong, okay?"
Tears flowed down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth and posted another notice.
"Everyone, don't pay attention to me. I'm just an ordinary fatty. I don't have any merits. I'm gluttonous, I'm lustful, I'm greedy for money, I'm selfish. I only passed the exam because I barely passed. The spirit stones I refined only have a purity of a little more than fifty percent. I'm really just an ordinary person!"
Even Wang Baole himself felt that he had thoroughly ridiculed himself this time. As long as it was something bad, he would join in. However, the development of the situation made his jaw drop again.
This time, it was Liu Daobin who stood up and left behind a message that resonated with and acknowledged countless students like never before!
"Chen Yameng is indeed powerful, and Zhuo Yifan is even more extraordinary. However, they are originally the cream of the crop. They are more than capable of saving people and completing the exam. However, Wang Baole is different. He is using his life to save people. It's just like how a rich person gives you a hundred spirit stones and a poor person gives you a hundred spirit stones that he has saved. How can the significance be the same? Wang Baole is just like us, an ordinary student. How can he not have any shortcomings? However, the more such a person is, the more shocking it is that he is sacrificing himself to save people. That bloody scene is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life!"
These words immediately caused a stir. The discussion on the Lower Academy Island's Spiritual Intranet reached its peak. In an instant, the topic of Wang Baole surpassed Zhuo Yifan and became the leader of this year's batch of freshmen!
Wang Baole was completely dumbfounded. He stared at the Spiritual Intranet in a daze. Even he did not feel that he was that great. It took him a long time to recover. With despair in his eyes, he took out a bag of snacks as if he had nothing left to live for. He gritted his teeth and started munching on them.
"It's over, it's over. I'm in big trouble!"
Indeed, not long after, a teacher on a Phoenix City airship could not stand it anymore. He publicly announced the fake cheating of Wang Baole in the exam …
