Chapter 73: The Afterglow

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It doesn’t matter if enrollment is divided between the two academies. I, Wang Baole, will remember to take revenge!

Since he understood Lin Tianhao’s background, he also understood the decision made by the Dao College.

He had read the high officials’ autobiographies thoroughly and clearly knew what he needed to do. He conceded that, to some extent, the Dao College’s actions had somewhat compensated him.

I accept the gift, but I will still take revenge. Wang Baole lowered his head to look the mirror and hold up the jade pendant.

After studying them in detail, his eyes lit up. These are very nice.

The jade pendant was a numinous treasure capable of protecting and attacking. Wang Baole felt for its spiritual force and checked its inscriptions to get a gauge of its power, and that left him excited.

The mirror did not pale in comparison. Even though it did not protect and attack directly, it could form a seemingly sturdy projection that could confuse people. Furthermore, it was equipped with fighting capabilities and was potentially useful in many situations.

Wang Baole was pleased with these two numinous treasures, especially as the Dharmic artifacts that he possessed were completely depleted. The two numinous treasures momentarily made him feel more secure as he was no longer empty-handed.

However, these are still insufficient. I need to refine more Dharmic artifacts, especially those with protective features, so that if I meet danger again, I can resolve it! Wang Baole thought as he began to immerse himself in the refining and inscription process.

One month of peace passed.

In that one month, Wang Baole stayed entirely in the Spirit Cauldron Cave. The Dharmic artifacts that he made slowly accumulated. Just the large seal alone, there were already over ten, along with some other ropes. What he really focused on refining was a type of pearl Dharmic artifact.

The pearl took the greatest toll on Wang Baole’s energy. Its Spirit Kernel was completely made by Rainbow Spirit Stones and was inscribed with an unbelievable number of inscriptions. Once it was activated, it let out a protective glow that appeared like the Golden Bell Shield.

One was not enough, so Wang Baole refined more than ten of them before he was satisfied.

There are enough Dharmic artifacts for protection. Now, moving on to those with attacking functions... Wang Baole wiped away his sweat and began snacking on several bags of snacks loudly. He thought for a moment and analyzed his options before continuing to refine.

This time, he was refining a flying sword. Since his cultivation was only at the Ancient Martial Arts realm, Wang Baole knew that he was unable to operate the Dharmic artifacts as agilely as he wanted and was unable to use them to the fullest potential. However, as the only Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, with Inscriptions that had never before been seen by the students who attended the faculty, he managed to think of a replacement.

I will use the force of magnetism!

Using magnetism, I can join these flying swords seamlessly. This way, I can control all the swords just by operating one of them!

Wang Baole’s eyes shone, and he added inscriptions for magnetism to the flying swords’ Spirit Kernels.

Even though the final product was not perfect, he could use the force of magnetism to join several flying swords together. When he tested it out, he could shoot out seven flying swords with a wave of his hand. Their speed and flexibility far exceeded what he had seen in the battle in the Pond Cloud Rainforest.

He was not completely satisfied, but he knew well that he had reached his limit.

I have to add on a self-destruct function! Wang Baole rubbed his forehead.

After experiencing the life-and-death scenario, he felt that his Dharmic artifacts were a little slow in self-destruction, and they would only be perfect if they could self-destruct after a countdown.

Therefore, all the Dharmic artifact that I have must be equipped with self-destructive inscriptions so that they can detonate as and when.

There’s still the big megaphone left. That is a gem. After refining it, I have to find ways to make it more powerful.

Another half a month passed as Wang Baole continued refining Dharmic artifacts. When he was almost done, he received a voice transmission from Bunny, which prompted him to leave the Spirit Cauldron Cave to take in the fresh air outside. Looking at the fluffy clouds hanging in the blue sky and caressing his storage bracelet, Wang Baole was content.

In my pocket now, there are more Dharmic artifacts than previously. Ha, if I were to meet an incident like that in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, I am confident that I could eliminate them without much effort! Wang Baole was gleeful as he took out a bag of snacks, munching as he strutted into the Dharmic Armament faculty. Along the way, the people who met him respectfully greeted him as if it were a natural reflex.

There were also many new students who were obviously in awe when they noticed Wang Baole. Looking at the new students, Wang Baole gently touched the fine hair above his mouth, sighing peacefully.

“I have aged...”

Wang Baole and his classmates were no longer new students, and they were all beginning to gain accomplishments in their respective faculties. Right now, as Wang Baole gazed at the new students, he could not help but mimic the Chancellor, with his eyes conveying a message of encouragement while he nodded politely.

His encouragement was the greatest affirmation for the new students. They were all agitated with excitement, and as Wang Baole advanced in his steps, the greetings never ended.

Basking in the privilege of his status and identity, Wang Baole was heartened to have made the best decision of his life when he chose to enroll at Ethereal Dao College.

I, Wang Baole, am destined to be extraordinary. Those years spent maintaining a low profile in Phoenix City were all to make a name for myself in Ethereal Dao College, Wang Baole thought emotionally while making his way out from the peak of the Dharmic Armament faculty for his descent down.

That evening, the glow from the setting sun gave the sky a beautiful, orange hue, and Wang Baole stood admiring it for a moment. When he finished his bag of snacks, he saw Bunny arriving from afar.

When Bunny sent him the voice transmission, she had said that she had wanted to visit. Therefore, Wang Baole had halted his refining process to welcome her there.

Seeing that Wang Baole was waiting for her from a distance, Bunny blushed, and her eyes widened in delight. She picked up her pace, speeding toward Wang Baole.

“Brother Baole.”

Her voice made Wang Baole’s eyes light up. The scene of Bunny approaching him as she ran was like a dream that he had replayed in his mind over and over again. He cleared his throat and put on a gentlemanly look as he smiled coyly at her.

Very quickly, Bunny arrived in front of Wang Baole. Her face was red with shyness. She wanted to say something, but once she looked at Wang Baole’s eyes, her heart raced, making her forget what she had originally wanted to tell him. Subconsciously, she took out a pill box and handed it to Wang Baole.

“Brother Baole, these are the recovery pills that I have made after spending all this time refining in seclusion. These are for you to keep,” Bunny said demurely with her reddened face as she passed the pill box to Wang Baole.

“Brother Baole, I will work hard to refine more pills in the future so that if you meet danger again, my pills can be of help to you,” Bunny said seriously, and she blushed even more after that. She turned to leave but quickly turned around again, handing another pill box to Wang Baole.

“I... I took the wrong one just now. This is the correct one.” Saying that, Bunny’s face was like a ripe red apple, and she immediately turned around to make her way.

Actually, she had never been a daring person. She had originally prepared many things to say, but once she saw Wang Baole, her heart rate rose, and her thoughts blurred, causing her to forget everything that she had wanted to say.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoya rushing, Wang Baole’s gaze was gentle. He did not know why she had come at first, but now he understood that she had purely wanted to hand him the pills. Wang Baole looked at the pill box in his hands, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. When he raised his head, he saw that Zhou Xiaoya was getting further away. He blinked, running to catch up with her.

“Zhou Xiaoya, Zhou Xiaoya! Why are you so timid? You prepared what to say for your confession, and you still ruined everything! Didn’t you practice so many times?” Zhou Xiaoya was feeling moody, and she did not notice Wang Baole catching up with her. Therefore, Wang Baole heard her thoughts of regret as he neared her.

“Er...” Listening to Zhou Xiaoya’s grumble, Wang Baole cleared his throat. “Ruin what?”

“Ah!” Zhou Xiaoya was obviously taken aback by the sudden noise from Wang Baole. When she turned and saw Wang Baole, she was surprised.

“Brother Baole, you... Why did you come after me?”

Looking at Bunny’s silly look, the fuzzy feeling that Wang Baole experienced became more obvious, and he blinked several times.

“I wanted to escort you back to the Alchemy faculty, that’s why.”

“Oh... alright. Thank you, Brother Baole.” Bunny nodded lightly as she heard Wang Baole’s explanation. In an instant, she was no longer moody and was filled with boundless happiness.

Just like that, under the glow of the setting sun, Wang Baole and Bunny strolled through the Dao College, their shadows stretching a long, long distance.

The sound of students reciting their books from the peaks of the various faculties, the footsteps of students from the Combat faculty running, and the laughter of the students passing by all seemed to become background noise to the duo. It was as if they were the only ones left in the entire Dao College.

A bright smile blossomed on Bunny’s face. The glow of the setting sun reflected off her eyes as she looked at Wang Baole. Everything made her extraordinary beauty even more obvious.

The entire scene, including the setting sun and the surrounding atmosphere, was perfect, except that there was a pale, skinny youth dressed in a student’s robe looking dazed nearby. When he passed, he looked at Wang Baole and Bunny, who was standing beside him.

The moment he saw Bunny, the emaciated youth stopped suddenly, as if mesmerized by Bunny’s beauty and smile. His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the pair as if Wang Baole was invisible.

“My dear schoolmate, I might have seen you somewhere before. Can I get to know you? Please tell me how I can contact you.” The emaciated student looked directly at Bunny, as he spoke with emotion.
