Li Nan was infuriated to the extreme, but he had no other choice. The pills that augmented one's cultivation level could not be consumed continuously. Furthermore, there were certain side effects.
If other faculties used it, they would definitely be despised by others. Only those from the Alchemy faculty could use the pills they created.
Originally, he had planned to rely on the pill to fight his way into the top thousand. He had been extremely vicious in the previous two rounds, and he had been very proud of himself. This time, he had even thought it through. He was prepared to defeat Wang Baole and use Wang Baole as a stepping stone to build his reputation.
He was also prepared for failure. However, from his point of view, even if he failed, it would be Wang Baole who defeated him with his physical strength. In that case, he could say that Wang Baole had only relied on brute force.
As a member of the Alchemy faculty, relying on pills was the right path. As for the Dharmic Armament faculty's Head Prefect, he did not rely on Dharmic Armaments, but his fists … Although this matter would eventually be left unsettled, since there were no fixed restrictions in a battle. Furthermore, there would be no restrictions in a life-and-death battle in the future. However, it was still possible to confuse the public and cause a narrow defeat. It was a win-win for him to make his name known.
However, despite his good plan, Wang Baole had exceeded his expectations. He had cleverly used a defensive Dharmic artifact to carry out a battle that could be considered a classic of the Dharmic Armament faculty!
Amidst his bitterness, Li Nan could only admit defeat. After the battle ended, there was a lot of controversy on Ethereal Dao College's Spirit Intranet. The content of the related topics was several times more than before.
"This Wang Baole is shameless. We from the Alchemy faculty can't accept it!"
"That's right. It would have been fine if he had used his true abilities, but to trap us from the Alchemy faculty, what's the big deal? Does he think he is from the Array Formation faculty?"
Many people from the Alchemy Department jumped out and accused Wang Baole of being shameless. Wang Baole's battle had caused the people from the Alchemy Department to feel their scalps go numb. They felt as if they had experienced it themselves. This had provided a way for the other departments to fight against the Alchemy Department.
As for the students of the Dharmic Armament faculty, all of them became excited. They began to lash out at the Alchemy faculty. After all, the reverse use of a defensive Dharma artifact seemed normal. Although there had been people who had made similar points in the past, the knowledge of protecting oneself was deeply ingrained in everyone's minds. To be able to instantly change one's thoughts and use it during a competition was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
"Our Head Prefect used a Dharma artifact to defeat the Alchemy faculty. This is fair and square!"
"Who told you that defensive artifacts can only be used on yourself? You should rejoice. This is the Dao Academy Tournament, and you've learned the power of reversing artifacts. If it was a battle to the death outside, you wouldn't even have the time to complain!"
"What a joke. I've never heard of someone being scolded after defeating their opponent because of their skillful use of Dharma artifacts. Your Alchemy faculty's pills aren't good enough, so you're here to cause trouble!"
Seeing that the students of the Dharmic Armament faculty were speaking up for him, Wang Baole was very happy. He felt that he was still very popular. Therefore, he patted his stomach in the cave abode, feeling gratified.
"Everyone's support is the greatest acknowledgment of me as the Head Prefect."
Just as the debate between the two sides was getting more and more intense, the fourth battle for the mystic realm slot had arrived!
For this battle, Wang Baole's battlefield was … the Dao Enlightenment faculty!
When his figure appeared in the Dao Enlightenment faculty, it immediately caused a commotion. No one was paying attention to the other arenas of the Dao Enlightenment faculty. Almost all of the Dao Enlightenment faculty students had gathered in the arena where Wang Baole was. They all sat down cross-legged, staring at Wang Baole as they began to comprehend the Dao.
Wang Baole pretended not to see the attention of the Dao Enlightenment faculty students. Very quickly, his opponent for this battle also appeared.
This person was burly like a mountain. He had an indescribable aura that formed a suppressive force, causing his surroundings to feel oppressed as he walked.
The burly youth stepped onto the arena expressionlessly, cupped his fists, and said in a low voice, "Combat faculty's Strength Hall Head Prefect, Song Pinlong. Please enlighten me!"
The moment he said that, the oppressive aura that he exuded seemed to be retracted in an instant, disappearing completely. But the more it was like this, the more unfathomable Song Pinlong felt. It was as if a storm was about to arrive. When he looked at Wang Baole, his eyes were as calm as a deep spring.
Wang Baole's expression turned solemn, which was a rare sight. He suppressed the discomfort that arose from being in the Dao Enlightenment faculty. He could feel that this Song Pinlong before him was extraordinary. His cultivation at the peak of Pulse Enrichment made him surpass all the opponents that he had met in the Dao College's tournament.
To a certain extent, although this person was not as strong as the old man in black he had met in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, he was much stronger than the peak Pulse Enrichment cultivators under him.
In other words, the peak Pulse Enrichment cultivators in the Pond Cloud Rainforest were mostly unorthodox. Song Pinlong, on the other hand, was able to become one of the Combat faculty's Head Prefects. It could be seen that in terms of talent and training, he had reached the peak in the Dao College.
"Dharmic Armament faculty's Head Prefect, Wang Baole. Please enlighten me!" Wang Baole took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and said.
"I've long heard that Head Prefect Wang Baole not only has an extraordinary Dharmic artifact, but also a shocking combat ability … Today, I, Song Pinlong, would like to challenge Wang Baole's combat ability. I wonder if you won't use your Dharmic artifact and will fight purely with your physical body." As soon as Song Pinlong spoke, his entire person was like a heavy sword that was about to be unsheathed. Even his gaze became sharp, and his body took a step forward.
He took seven consecutive steps, each step larger than the last. The floor of the arena trembled, and the surrounding Dao Enlightenment faculty students held their breaths. Their hearts and minds were shaken.
Song Pinlong's aura grew stronger and stronger with these seven steps. In the end, all the Qi and blood in his body surged to the sky. His body looked normal, but it felt as if he had turned into a giant. Like a flash flood, he suddenly threw a punch at Wang Baole.
"Flash Flood!"
A vast ocean immediately appeared behind him. It was as if this punch had condensed the power of the ocean. It was earth-shattering. Even the surrounding teachers were momentarily dazed.
Wang Baole's eyes immediately shone brightly, and his fighting spirit rose. The previous three battles were not even a warm-up for him. Now that he had finally met a strong opponent, he did not retreat at all. He did not use his Dharmic artifact either. Instead, he raised his foot and took a step forward.
"Sure!" As he spoke, he raised his right hand into a fist. The moment Song Pinlong arrived, he also threw a punch!
A glow appeared in Song Pinlong's eyes, and he increased his strength by another thirty percent. He gave it his all, and the two of them collided instantly. As a loud boom reverberated in the air, the ground where the two of them were standing cracked, and many rocks flew in all directions. Song Pinlong's expression changed immediately. He could only feel a strong force rushing towards him, spreading throughout his entire body. As he trembled violently, he retreated more than ten steps. When he raised his head to look at Wang Baole, shock appeared in his eyes.
"Very strong!" This was the only thought in his mind.
As for Wang Baole … he was also retreating, but after a few steps, he stopped. When he raised his head and met Song Pinlong's gaze, a smile appeared on his face. The fighting spirit in his eyes intensified, and he leaped up, his speed exploding as he suddenly counterattacked.
Song Pinlong raised his head and laughed. Not only did he not retreat, his fighting spirit rose again, and he also rushed forward. In an instant, the two of them were fighting again. As the roar continued to spread, they had exchanged hundreds of punches in the short span of a dozen breaths!
Even if they retreated, they would rush forward again. In this arena, they started a battle that seemed to belong to the Combat faculty!
The surrounding people were shocked. Among them, besides the Dao Enlightenment faculty students, there were also students from other faculties watching. All of them were dumbfounded. Even though Wang Baole's fighting strength was rumored to be very strong, they were not from the Dharmic Armament faculty and did not know much. Now that they saw Wang Baole's attack with their own eyes, they were all shocked!
"This Wang Baole … is actually so strong!"
"Without using Dharma treasures, he can actually suppress the Combat faculty with pure fighting strength!"
"This … Is he from the Combat faculty or the Dharmic Armament faculty …?"
And at this moment … the Head Prefect of the Combat faculty's Strength Hall, Song Pinlong, was clearly at a disadvantage after exchanging hundreds of blows with Wang Baole. Blood could be seen seeping out of the corners of his mouth, while Wang Baole was completely unharmed!
As the crowd gasped, Song Pinlong roared and increased his speed. Clearly, he had realized that his strength was insufficient, so he used a secret technique to increase his speed and increase his strength. He even raised his hands and slapped his body to increase his speed. His skin turned red, and he charged at Wang Baole with a low roar.
From afar, he looked like a red eagle that flew in an instant!
"Speed?" Wang Baole's eyes flashed. His cultivation level had increased by relying on the Great Void Qi Devouring Art to absorb spirit fat. He had long realized that by using this method to cultivate, his physical body … seemed to be much stronger than those of the same realm.
And now, he had yet to use his devouring seed or capture. Since his opponent wanted him to rely on his physical body, Wang Baole wanted to see the extent of his Pulse Enrichment!
At this moment, he took a deep breath. His speed suddenly exploded, and he charged out instantly. This time, he did not use his fists. Instead, he used his speed to leap up and sweep his leg at Song Pinlong!
A booming sound that was louder than before erupted. Song Pinlong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body retreated abruptly. This retreat took him a hundred feet out of the arena before he stopped. His face was pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. However, his eyes were bright. He cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Baole, who was still standing in the arena.
"You live up to your name. I'm convinced. Wang Baole, after reaching the True Breath realm, I will fight you again!" With that, he turned and left.
In the arena, Wang Baole looked at Song Pinlong's back with a look of respect. He could tell that Song Pinlong was a martial arts fanatic.
