Chapter 484: Fatty, Give Me a Punch! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone was celebrating Li Xingwen’s advancement to the Nascent Soul realm. The Federation President gave him a congratulatory call, and so did the various factions that had their attention on this big event!

At this moment, regardless of whether it was the Senate, the Galactic Dusk Sect, the Five Generation Sky Clan, or the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, they all realized that the four great Dao Colleges would never be the same again!

The four great Dao Colleges were already a formidable force even before this, and that was accentuated by their close ties with the Federation. However, as they were segregated into four different sections, it made others feel that they were untouchable.

However, right now, with Li Xingwen achieving a breakthrough, everything had changed. In the foreseeable future, the Ethereal Dao College would be the strongest force amongst the four great Dao Colleges, unless Duan Muque also achieved a breakthrough!

Even if Duan Muque achieved a breakthrough, the Ethereal Dao College’s position had already far exceeded that of previous times, making them on par with the White Deer Dao College. This major event would also lead to a chain effect. For example, the disciples of the Ethereal Dao College would be able to be looked upon more seriously in society, and the other factions wouldn’t provoke them without reason.

In the case of Wang Baole, had Li Xingwen achieved a breakthrough earlier, the troubles that he had faced as a City Lord would never have happened in the first place.

After all, right now, Li Xingwen was the most elite individual amongst all the cultivators in the Federation on Earth!

His personality, one that characteristically sheltered the shortcomings of people close to him, was well known amongst the various factions. Therefore, his advancement forced the other factions to be more down to earth. At the same time, the mainstream media channels of the Federation were all reporting the news with fervor. Of course, to the public, Li Xingwen wasn’t the first Nascent Soul realm cultivator, but that was unimportant.

At the same time, Li Xingwen, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, sent out invitations to all the factions, inviting them to a grand banquet to be held at the Ethereal Dao College.

The banquet would gather all the elites of the Federation and was exceptionally high profile. Others may not do this, but Li Xingwen was different; his aim was to be high profile and create awe in order to send out a clear message to all the factions that he had become a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. They weren’t to provoke him, his Ethereal Dao College, or the four great Dao Colleges!

Therefore, during the banquet, Li Xingwen didn’t bother to converge his Nascent Soul realm aura and unleashed it at full force. It was such that all those who attended appeared respectful on the surface but were laughing bitterly in their hearts, cursing under their breaths with feelings of extreme helplessness.

However, from the start until the end of the banquet, Wang Baole didn’t appear at all. He was still meditating, and Li Xingwen even personally put a protective covering in place in the area he was in so that others wouldn’t disturb him.

The banquet came and went, and the visitors from the other three great Dao Colleges, as well as those from the other factions, took their leave. Seven days passed, and Wang Baole, who was meditating with crossed legs, finally opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he instantly felt that the world before him was no longer the same. It seemed as though the colors had become more vibrant and that everything had become even more crystal clear. He could hear the sound of the wind and the sound of grass emerging from the ground. He could sense the path of the fish swimming underwater, and he could even hear the heartbeat of all the disciples in the Dao College, as well as the sound of their blood flowing!

It was all indescribably pleasant. Wang Baole was dazed, taking a moment to snap back to reality. Looking internally, he saw that inside the main lotus seed head of his green lotus—a new green core had appeared!

Success! Wang Baole was excited. In his exhilaration, he seemed to have sensed someone approaching, and he quickly turned around. He saw Li Xingwen standing behind him, who had appeared without him knowing.

Culminating the Heart Core could allow Spiritual Sense to surface? Li Xingwen seemed very surprised that Wang Baole could sense his presence, and therefore took several more glances at him.

Seeing that the Grand Supreme Elder had paid him a visit, Wang Baole hurriedly stood up and greeted him with cupped fists. At the same time, he sensed the aura emanating from the Grand Supreme Elder’s body. He understood that it was no longer that of a Core Formation realm cultivator but was something extremely profound. It even gave him a feeling that it was superior to that of the square-faced and horse-faced extraterrestrial cultivators. Vaguely, it was similar to that of the extraterrestrial leader with the centipede on his face.

This surprised Wang Baole. He knew well that Li Xingwen had just advanced, and the fact that he could reach this level in such a short time meant that Li Xingwen was extremely formidable.

Old weirdo... Wang Baole mumbled in his heart with envy. However, what he didn’t know was that Li Xingwen mumbled the same thing in his heart as well.

He’s a young weirdo. He’s merely in the early-stage of the Core Formation realm, but he already possesses the Lightning Core, and his body contains the Heart Core. At the same time, there’s a unique aura being given off by him. What’s more, Spiritual Sense is spewing out of him. D*rn it, it was only when I became a Nascent Soul realm cultivator that I gained Spiritual Sense, but he already has some right now! With a bizarre expression on his face, Li Xingwen spoke.

“Fatty, come give me a punch. I want to see how formidable the Heart Core is for myself.”

“Heart Core?” Wang Baole was shocked.

“Are you stupid? The Heart Core is the thing you’ve been fiddling with. It’s the equivalent to the Core Formation stage for your physique!” Li Xingwen stated, and Wang Baole instantly understood what he meant. Li Xingwen had made the request, and at the same time, he was also curious about his combat capabilities right now. Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Wang Baole unleashed the three cores in his body at the same time. A loud boom was produced, with flashes of lightning emerging and spreading. A chilly fire was also produced, and it was as if he was transformed into the god of combat as he punched Li Xingwen.

With that punch, the winds and clouds began churning, and a shocking, explosive force was instantly unleashed. However, when it neared Li Xingwen, it was suppressed simply by him raising his right index finger!

The loud boom grew even more deafeningly loud, as if a hurricane was sweeping between the two of them. Li Xingwen’s hair was ruffled by the wind, and his shirt was flapping. He remained calm, without any changes in his facial expressions.

On the other hand, Wang Baole was trembling vigorously. All he could feel was a ricochet spreading throughout his body, making it extremely unbearable for all his internal organs. However, as the green lotus began shaking, a green glow appeared from his body, returning everything to normal.

Despite that, he was feeling extremely upset, as his punch was blocked by the Grand Supreme Elder with a simple gesture of pointing his index finger. He was disappointed, and after taking a few steps back, he sighed.

“That’s all? I’ll rate that as just passing. All right, you’ve been in the Dao College for too long, return to Mars.” The Grand Supreme Elder lowered his hand and spoke arrogantly. He appeared as if he was giving Wang Baole unwilling recognition. He flailed his sleeves and turned to leave, leaving Wang Baole behind, upset and sighing about how weak he was.

However, when he reached an area where no one was around, the calm expression on Li Xingwen’s face instantly changed. His internal organs were all squeezed together, and he wrapped his finger while gritting his teeth. He rubbed it for most of the day, and at the same time, the sleeves on his shirt had instantly turned to dust. Even the long robe he was wearing became torn and tattered.

This weirdo is too powerful. He’s just in the early stage of the Core Formation realm, but he almost broke my finger with a single punch... Li Xingwen took a deep breath. Even though he knew that this had happened because he didn’t unleash his spells, he was a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, and he was unbeatable by Core Formation realm cultivators who didn’t have other trump cards. If a Core Formation realm cultivator were to take someone at the Nascent Soul realm on with just their cultivation as a weapon, they wouldn’t even hurt the Nascent Soul realm cultivator one bit.

However, for Wang Baole, he had managed to injure someone at the Nascent Soul realm based on the physical force of his body alone. This made Li Xingwen extremely astonished.

The Heart Core is powerful, but the fact that he could achieve this means that the aura hidden within his body also plays a big role... This aura... Ah, this is a fella not to be belittled. The things that the various factions of the Federation desire... If they were taken away, trouble would result! Li Xingwen rubbed his glabella, mumbling under his breath as a look of determination appeared on his face.

Perhaps I’m over-thinking things. It must be because he was exposed to a little bit of it after spending time on Mars... Li Xingwen shook his head. However, knowing how capable the disciple from his Dao College was, he was still happy. After checking that there was no one around him with his Spiritual Sense, he turned and changed into an identical Daoist robe before taking his leave.

As for Wang Baole, he was now sighing, deep in thought about how weak he was. Therefore, his desire to restore the Dark Artifact on Mars intensified. He thought about how he could become the most formidable person if he could bring the Dark Artifact out.

With that thought, Wang Baole began to worry about his prolonged absence from Mars. He was worried about leaving the Dark Artifact there. After all, there were too many elites in the Federation who had their eyes on that treasure. Wang Baole didn’t dare tell everyone that he was the owner of the Dark Artifact. Therefore, the desire to return intensified.

Therefore, he hurriedly informed the Sect Lord of his departure. At the same time, he bid farewell to Bunny. After seeing that Bunny had returned to her area for seclusion, Wang Baole took a deep breath. He found the donkey lying lazily around the Diamond Ape, seemingly infatuated. At the same time, he also saw several broken puppets beside the two beasts, which made him dumbfounded.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, leaving the Ethereal Dao College while pulling the donkey’s ear. After returning to Ethereal City, he caught up with his parents, boarding the cruiser from the capital city the next morning. With the protection afforded by the eight other cruisers sent to him, he traveled through the clouds and into the cosmos, heading towards Mars at high speed!
