The first battle was over!
This battle was extremely easy for Wang Baole. All he did was walk around the arena once and he had obtained a point!
One had to know that in this battle, a thousand matches between two thousand people were carried out at the same time. That was to say, after this battle, half of the people would obtain one point while the other half would obtain zero points!
The gap between them was already clear from the very first match!
The second stage of the competition was, in fact, based on a point system to a certain extent. A victory would add one point, while a loss would not add any points. As such, if someone could obtain five points, which was equivalent to winning all five matches, they would definitely obtain a spot.
After mulling over the rules of the second stage of the competition, Wang Baole swaggered out of the arena. Under the murmurs and gazes of the surrounding students, he politely greeted them with a smile. After returning to his cave abode, Wang Baole took out a bag of snacks in satisfaction. As he ate, he opened the Spirit Intranet to check on the other matches.
At that moment, the Spirit Intranet was extremely lively. The students watching the different matches were all discussing, especially those who were famous. They were the focus of many people's attention.
"Latest news. Wang Baole won. His opponent was Wu Haisen from the Dharmic Armament faculty. He admitted defeat!"
"Zhuo Yifan won. He used less than thirty seconds to force Sun Yan, a senior from the Mechanical Armament faculty, to retreat!"
Seeing the news about him being discussed by so many people, Wang Baole was delighted. When he noticed that Zhuo Yifan had won, he raised his eyebrows.
"This Zhuo Yifan has improved. Not only did he become one of the Head Prefects of the Combat faculty, he even obtained the first victory. However, he is still lacking compared to me." Wang Baole opened a bottle of Ice Spirit Water and gulped it down smugly before continuing to browse the Spirit Intranet. Suddenly, his hand that was holding the bottle of Ice Spirit Water paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he stared at a notice that someone had just posted.
"Big upset! Chen Ziheng lost to an unknown senior from the Alchemy faculty, Li Nan! "
"Heavens, Chen Ziheng is someone who can compete with Zhuo Yifan for the position of Head Prefect. He actually lost to Li Nan in less than half an hour!"
"I was watching this match. That Li Nan swallowed an unknown medicinal pill and went berserk to the extreme. He defeated Chen Ziheng head-on!"
There was a lot of discussion about Chen Ziheng's battle on the Spirit Intranet. It was a pity that in the second stage of the competition, due to the fear that the elite students' moves would be leaked, the Dao College had put in extra effort to ban video recordings. Once such recordings were made, they would be severely punished. Therefore, no videos were released. Unless one watched it in person, it would be difficult to watch the entire process of the battle.
Looking at everyone's discussion, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He knew that Chen Ziheng's cultivation had already broken through the Physical Seal Realm and had reached the Pulse Enrichment Realm. Furthermore, he was clearly extraordinary, but he had actually lost to the Alchemy Department.
"There are a lot of experts here, be careful!" Wang Baole nodded in agreement and continued to flip through the posts. Not long after, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at another post.
"Zhao Yameng, against the Alchemy Department's Head Prefect of Flora, Zheng Liang. She set up the array in three breaths and floated away. Zheng Liang bitterly admits defeat!"
Many people were discussing this post, but most of them did not understand Zhao Yameng's moves. However, there were students from the Array Formation Department who explained that there was no one in the entire Array Formation Department who could set up an array in three breaths!
This news quickly stirred up the Array Formation Department and spread throughout the Spirit Intranet. After Wang Baole carefully read the explanation of the students from the Array Formation Department, his eyes became serious.
"Zhao Yameng …" Wang Baole put down the Ice Spirit Water. He felt a lot of pressure from the news posted on the Spirit Intranet. In fact, other than these people, there were also many strong older students who had suddenly appeared, and all of them were extraordinary.
"The next battle is tomorrow. There's not much time left." This matter concerned the qualifications to enter the True Breath mystic realm. Even though Wang Baole was confident, he did not dare to slack off. After shutting off the Spirit Intranet, he began to meditate and adjust his inner breathing so that he could be in peak condition at all times.
Just like that, a day passed. As all the matches ended, the discussions in Ethereal Dao College and on the Spirit Intranet did not stop. Instead, they became more intense.
Soon, the next day arrived. Two hours before the match, Wang Baole received a notification that he could draw lots. He opened his eyes and began to draw lots.
"The ninth arena of the Array Formation Department … I wonder who will be lucky enough to meet me." Wang Baole chuckled. After seeing the results of the draw, he calculated the time and decided to leave the cave abode early.
Soon, he arrived at the peak of the Array Formation Department. This was the first time Wang Baole had come to the Array Formation Department. This place was different from the Alchemy Department and the Dharmic Armament Department. The entire Array Formation Department, regardless of whether it was the buildings or the mountain rocks, seemed to follow a certain pattern. Even the surrounding grass and trees did not grow randomly. Instead, they vaguely possessed a feeling that Wang Baole could not describe.
After taking a few steps, Wang Baole took a deep breath and found the words that best described his feelings. "It's as one!"
The entire Array Formation Department gave him this feeling. It was as if anyone who did not specialize in the Array Formation Department would be repelled by the entire mountain peak. They could not help but feel an inexplicable pressure.
This was especially so when he noticed that the surrounding mountain rocks had remnant waves of Spirit Qi. It seemed that many areas had once been engraved with array formations. However, they were now forcefully suppressed so that they would not explode.
"Don't tell me that the people from the Array Formation Department have a terrifying habit of randomly drawing array formations … Why do I feel that every step here is dangerous? In the future, when I meet people from the Array Formation Department, I have to be careful. This group of people is obviously too sinister, placing traps everywhere." Wang Baole walked carefully. Just like that, when he arrived at the ninth arena, there was not much time left before the start of the battle.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the students outside the ninth arena. They all looked at him, and while they were all bewildered, Wang Baole placed his hands behind his back and, in a flash, entered the arena!
Just as he stood there, he was surrounded by whispers.
"This battle is actually against Wang Baole!"
"This guy met an opponent who admitted defeat in his first battle. This time, I wonder who his opponent will be!"
Wang Baole enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. Inwardly, he sighed. He felt that he was already keeping a very low profile. However, there was nothing he could do about it. When you're handsome, you'll cause a sensation wherever you go.
Thus, he raised his hand to greet the people around him. However, it was at this moment that an excited shout suddenly rang out from the distance. As the shout echoed out, a figure, who had originally been in the distance, rapidly approached like a bolt of lightning. Soon, it leaped directly onto the arena.
"Wang Baole, I can't believe my opponent is you! Hahaha! The Heavens do have eyes. This is my good fortune!" The newcomer was a long-haired young man wearing a student's Daoist robe. His eyes shone with excitement and anticipation, and as soon as he landed on the arena, he began to shout excitedly.
Wang Baole stared in shock at the joyful young man in front of him. Filled with suspicion, he really didn't have any recollection of this person.
He hesitantly asked, "Fellow student, you are …"
"I'm from the Dao Enlightenment faculty. Wang Baole, stand there and don't move. Let me comprehend the Dao for a few hours. Don't worry, you win this round!" As the young man spoke, his expression was fanatical, and he took a few steps towards Wang Baole.
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding crowd's eyes widened. Their minds exploded, and as if they were avoiding a demon, they all retreated!
"Dao Enlightenment faculty!!"
"Heavens, someone from the Dao Enlightenment faculty actually made it into the top 2,000!!"
Under the astonishment of the crowd, Wang Baole's face was also filled with disbelief.
"You're haunting me like a ghost!!"
"Wang Baole, please grant me my wish!" The young man took large strides and ran towards Wang Baole.
"How did this lunatic pass the auditions …" Wang Baole saw that the match had not yet started, but this lunatic was already running towards him.
Especially the teachers outside the arena. When they saw this scene, they stood up and were about to stop him, but the young man suddenly turned around and roared.
"Teachers, I'm comprehending the Dao!"
As soon as he said this, the teachers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They all stopped and didn't try to stop him …
The young man roared and approached. His disregard for everything made the surrounding crowd look at each other.
"He's a freaking lunatic!!" Wang Baole stared. The moment he got close, he kicked out …
With a bang, the Dao Enlightenment faculty lunatic was sent flying and landed on the ground.
After landing, the Dao Enlightenment faculty youth's expression changed. He lowered his head and looked at his stomach. Sitting on the ground, he didn't say a word … as if he was comprehending the Dao …
Seeing this, Wang Baole suddenly felt a sense of panic. The surrounding crowd, including the teachers, were all paying close attention.
"It can't be … he can't have really comprehended the Dao … I only kicked him." Wang Baole was wondering if he should interrupt the other party's comprehension when the Dao Enlightenment faculty youth suddenly raised his head and laughed maniacally. Ignoring everyone else, he turned around and jumped off the arena, running away while laughing maniacally …
Hearing his laughter and looking at his back, Wang Baole hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.
"Student, did you comprehend the Dao successfully?"
But the Dao Enlightenment faculty youth ignored him and continued laughing maniacally. He didn't look back and quickly disappeared …
"Damn it, will it kill you to say something? Did you comprehend the Dao successfully or not?" Wang Baole was frustrated. He wondered why Ethereal Dao College had the Dao Enlightenment faculty. It was simply a faculty for lunatics.
Thinking about the consequences if the other party succeeded in comprehending the Dao with just one kick … Wang Baole suddenly had a headache. He slapped his forehead and looked gloomily at the referee teacher.
"Teacher, this lunatic is gone. How will this match be decided?"
The three teachers looked at Wang Baole strangely. After looking at each other, they announced the result.
