The entire area fell silent for a moment.

Everyone’s mind buzzed with activity as they stared dumbfoundedly at Wang Baole. He was giving off a golden glow all over his body, accompanied by a sea of Blood Qi following behind him. His mighty figure resembled a fighting god, one that could not easily be overcome or belittled, as he raised Zhuo Yixian’s body high into the sky.

The suppressive force emanating from his body was especially shocking to everyone, causing their hearts to palpitate rapidly. Zhuo Yixian was already someone who was exceedingly superior as a Head Prefect of White Deer Dao College. He was like the Chosen One, and when he swallowed the Former Incarnation Pill, he unleashed powers beyond what he should have been capable of. Zhuo Yixian, at that moment, stood at what people deemed the pinnacle of Pulse Enrichment, such that it would not have been an exaggeration to consider him a half-step True Breath expert.

After all, the Blood Qi incarnation formed from the combination of the cultivation techniques of the Five Generation Sky Clan was considered a Dharma spell to a certain extent.

Even so, it was nothing compared to Wang Baole. Right now, the scene of Wang Baole holding Zhuo Yixian by the neck and raising him up toward the sky evoked emotions in everyone’s hearts and minds, injecting them with indescribable shock that they had never experienced before.

In the silence, only the sound of breathing could be heard. Even Zhuo Yifan was trembling as he held his breath. Although he knew that Wang Baole was strong, he had never imagined that he was powerful to this extent!

Compared to the shock that the onlookers were feeling, Zhuo Yixian, whose neck was held in Wang Baole’s firm grip, was paralyzed with increasing fear. He wanted to struggle and break free, but Wang Baole’s grip was like a wrench, making his every attempt to struggle futile. Furthermore, when Wang Baole spoke previously, the icy look in his eyes and the coldness given off from every inch of his body had caused Zhuo Yixian to be so afraid that he was about to jump out of his skin.

He has killed before! The coldness given off of Wang Baole was nothing foreign to Zhuo Yixian. It was a familiar vibe that he had experienced from some members of his family clan whom had killed others before. The life-and-death crisis that he was facing now was like the crashing waves, causing him to tremble vigorously. However, he willed himself not to give in and stared unblinkingly at Wang Baole before speaking in a hoarse voice.

“This golden glow of yours... what cultivation technique is it?”

Sensing the fear in Zhuo Yixian’s eyes and the amount of effort that he was using to stay calm, Wang Baole was delighted. He raised his head and spoke calmly.

“I’ve known this cultivation technique since the age of six. The fact that you have no knowledge of this given your age shows how ignorant you are!”

The instant that the exchange between the two broke the silence, the six students from White Deer Dao College who were nearby began to recover from their shock. Their faces were all pale, and their eyes conveyed their anxiety. One of them mustered up their courage and began to speak urgently.

“Wang Baole, this... this is a mistake. You don’t have to go to the extent of murder. Calm down, don’t be rash!”

It was necessary for them to persuade Wang Baole. If a death really occurred, the matter would definitely be blown up, and they would be implicated. Right now, all of them were filled with regret for agreeing to help Zhuo Yixian.

Even Zhuo Yifan began to hyperventilate, revealing a look of worry from his eyes. He did not care about Zhuo Yixian’s survival, but he knew that if Wang Baole really killed someone, the impact would be unimaginable.

With the people around trying to persuade him, Wang Baole closed his eyes. He was not planning to kill, but he knew that Zhuo Yixian’s background was not to be belittled. He wanted to teach him a good lesson and make a lasting impression such that Zhuo Yixian would feel fear every time he thought about Wang Baole.

“Let’s do this, then!” Wang Baole’s eyes flashed, and the killings that had happened in the Pond Cloud Rainforest replayed in his mind. He wanted to concentrate his killing intent and use it to scare Zhuo Yixian. However, at that moment, Wang Baole’s facial expression suddenly changed as he abruptly turned his head to look at a small hill a distance away.

He felt a strong attractive force that originated from that location rapidly approaching him. It was as if something that he strongly desired existed in the direction that he was looking.

Not only was Wang Baole experiencing it. Even Zhuo Yixian, whose neck was still held by Wang Baole, also looked with his eyes wide open in the same direction.

The instant that the two shifted their gaze, a loud boom was suddenly heard. At the furthest distance the both of them could see, beyond the hill, a figure emerged, racing toward them while howling!

That figure was faceless, and its entire body was vibrating wildly. It charged with immense speed, and even though it was a distance away, both Wang Baole and Zhuo Yixian immediately noticed that an eight-inch Spirit Root was present within its body!

The shimmering glow bouncing off that Spirit Root was exceptionally prominent!

“An eight-inch Spirit Root!” Zhuo Yixian shouted with his hoarse voice, and the surrounding onlookers were deeply shaken.

The figure was that of an eight-inch Spirit Root. Unique from the other Spirit Roots, the eight-inch Spirit Root was also known as the versatile Spirit Root. So long as one had attained the foundation of the seven-inch Spirit Root, once one managed to attack and dissipate it, one could absorb it!

When the eight-inch Spirit Root appeared, howling sounds emerged simultaneously from behind it. Six figures rushed out from the small hill, all of them charging without stopping. They were even battling each other as they chased after the Spirit Root.

The Fire Spirit Body Li Yi from White Deer Dao College and Wu Fen from Holy River Dao College were among the six people. There was also a black-faced youth dressed in a black Daoist robe from White Deer Branch College. He has never been mentioned in Ethereal Dao College’s jade slip and was apparently a black horse. The vibe from his seven-inch Spirit Root was extremely strong, and his speed was comparable to that of both Li Yi and Wu Fen!

The other three people comprised of two men and a woman. The woman was graceful, slim, and looked extremely alluring. Her personal details were described in Ethereal Dao College’s jade slip, identifying her as Qian Meng from Holy River Dao College’s Elixirs faculty!

The other two were dressed in Daoist robes from White Deer Dao College. One of them was tall, one of them was short, and they both carried a look of ruthlessness. It was apparent that they were collaborating with each other, pursuing the Spirit Root while attempting to block the people around them from advancing.

“It’s Li Feng and Chen Lingyi!”

The students from White Deer Dao College who were standing beside Wang Baole immediately exclaimed the moment that they noticed the duo. It seemed like they had never imagined that the both of them would be involved in the fight for the eight-inch Spirit Root.

Similarly, the information of the duo was missing from Ethereal Dao College’s jade slip.

The appearance of the eight-inch Spirit Root caused Wang Baole’s breathing to quicken. His eyes were filled with excitement, for his search for the eight-inch Spirit Root had been long, tedious, and fruitless. In his agitation, he lost all the will to scare Zhuo Yixian. He loosened his right hand instantly and kicked hard.

With a loud bang, the kick landed directly on Zhuo Yixian’s body, causing him to spurt blood. His body was like a kite whose string had been severed, landing hard on the ground a distance away as fresh red blood spewed out once again. The internal damage caused by Wang Baole’s kick immediately eliminated him from the fight for the eight-inch Spirit Root.

Without stopping, Wang Baole immediately retrieved a bottle of pills and threw it to Zhuo Yifan after he kicked Zhuo Yixian. He turned his body and dashed away with unbelievable speed. The golden Blood Qi ocean spread in all directions, and he charged toward the eight-inch Spirit Root while roaring.

As the golden Blood Qi ocean spread from Wang Baole, the eight-inch Spirit Root from afar suddenly turned to look at Wang Baole, as if it sensed his presence. Between the gasps of shock from Li Yi and company, the Spirit Root changed its direction and headed toward Wang Baole!

Wang Baole was instantly filled with joy, and his speed further increased as he laughed heartily. That made Li Yi and the other five extremely angry, and they stopped battling among each other in their anxiousness.

“Wang Baole!” Li Yi snarled as she gritted her teeth. She had always been displeased and angry with Wang Baole, and now, without hesitation, she retrieved a jade pendant. The moment the jade pendant appeared, it immediately transformed into a fireball that was glowing hot. She threw it in the direction of the eight-inch Spirit Root. Unless Wang Baole stopped in his tracks, he would definitely be blocked once he neared the fire ball!

At the same time, Wu Fen also let out a cold look. He hit his chest hard with both his hands, and a crack appeared on his glabella, with thick Blood Qi immediately flowing out from the crack. It conjured a bloodied hand in midair, which slapped the eight-inch Spirit Root directly!

The black-faced youth also realized that the situation had become pressing. He unleashed his ace in the hole, and a large spell array appeared, charging toward the eight-inch Spirit Root after absorbing Spirit Qi from the surroundings.

The tall-short duo, Li Feng and Chen Lingyi, revealed their most powerful numinous treasures as they screamed angrily. It was a pair of extremely sharp, vicious flying sword, which flew swiftly into the air.

Lastly, the alluring woman Qian Meng shut her eyes, retrieving a large handful of poisonous pills. She threw them out, causing a poisonous fog to be produced as they exploded. Hissing from venomous worms also emerged within the fog, and it became clear that she was the rare poison master trained in the Alchemy faculty!

The six of them acted simultaneously with their best skills, appearing to target the eight-inch Spirit Root, while in reality, their attacks were all directed toward Wang Baole!

Is there a need to be so vicious? Wang Baole was also shocked, and his heart palpitated strongly. After all, the attacks by each of the six people were different, and they were all exceptional students. They had all used their most powerful move, and unless a True Breath individual suppressed them with their aura, it would be difficult to withstand the impact of them all.
