However, many others were still indignant and were struggling hard with resistance. Kong Dao was one of them. He usually appeared withdrawn but was actually an arrogant person. His experiences in the past made him disregard even those who were considered elites of the Federation.

That was until he met Wang Baole... First, the mosquito attack made him itch like never before, and then there were the puppet Numinous Treasures... It was driving him crazy.

A chill appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wang Baole with unhappiness and annoyance. There was another reason for that, as he realized that Wang Baole seemed to be relatively close to Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng.

When he first saw Zhao Yameng, he was surprised... He was someone who never let anyone come close to him emotionally. As the cold look shone from his eyes, Kong Dao took a deep breath and was about to activate his mystic technique...

And at that moment...

Wang Baole had grown annoyed at slapping the people around him. He raised his right hand and immediately, tens of large-sized puppets appeared around him.

Those puppets were strong, burly hunks that each looked frighteningly scary. Those who looked like Zhu Gangqiang were the most vicious. However, appearances were not what made the resistors give up their ideas of resisting...

What made them give up was that when those savage, hunky puppets appeared, they all began to make loud disturbing sounds that were extremely harrowing and shocking to the people who heard them!

“Uh... Hmm...”

“Uh... Hmm... Uh...”

Their appearance, their voices... all of it immediately made those who were struggling shiver with their eyes wide open, their minds flooded with activity.

The previous batch of puppets was a mix of males and females that looked relatively normal, even artistically beautiful to a certain extent. However, the current batch of puppets, with Zhu Gangqiang as a representative, definitely made the male cultivators gasp and the female cultivators indescribably shocked.

“These... What freaks are these?”

“Don’t come over!”

Even the instructor elder appeared as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood dumbfounded, looking dazedly at the freaks that were making the disturbing sounds.

Kong Dao also held his breath in shock. He hesitated and gave up the thought of activating his spells. Instinctively, he sensed that the puppets were different from those of the previous batch. Based on his intuition towards the wild beasts, he vaguely sensed that the most vicious puppet of the lot carried a frightening vibe!

Seeing that his puppets had thrown everyone into a state of shock, Wang Baole spoke with great emotion.

“The greatest quality of mine is that I am a person of reason towards any matter. I want this pill. If anyone has any differing views, speak your mind, and we’ll sort it out.”

Wang Baole’s words were followed by a loud disturbing sound produced in unison by the puppet hunks.

Those who had not been beaten unconscious looked at those burly puppets and heard the sounds they produced, which caused chills to run down their spines. They cursed under their breaths but kept silent without speaking a word.

Seeing that was the case, Wang Baole happily turned over in anticipation, looking at the instructor elder who carried a bizarre look on his face.

“Instructor, there’s no need to wait until the sun sets... can you give the pill to me?”

The elder was silent. After a long while, he looked intently at Wang Baole, before flailing his right hand and tossing the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill to Wang Baole.

Wang Baole immediately grabbed hold of the pill. He was extremely agitated and hurriedly kept all the puppets. With a quick turn of his body, he ran outside, disappearing from the sight of all the seedlings who were gritting their teeth in anger as they stood up.

In the three days that followed, Wang Baole didn’t appear before their eyes. Even though rewards were given out daily, also in the form of pills, they were nothing like the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill. Everyone still competed for the pills, but also made plans to unite and fight against Wang Baole. It made their decision to teach Wang Baole a lesson ever more determined.

Wang Baole, on the other hand, spent all three days in seclusion. His chummy relationship with the military resulted in the military officials giving him a designated room for seclusion without any hesitation.

In the room, Wang Baole swallowed the second Body Strengthening Freedom Pill. A phenomenal change occurred in his body, and it was as if a hurricane had erupted within his body. Wang Baole had initially thought that he could completely digest the pill within a day, but in reality, it took three full days for the pill to be incorporated into his body.

The effect of the pill was so strong that his entire body, including the strength of his flesh and bones, was completely transformed and boosted significantly!

One night, cracking sounds were heard from Wang Baole’s body. He opened his eyes, which appeared like two shimmering stars that were extremely blinding. He was still at the peak of the True Breath realm, but a vibe similar to that of Foundation Establishment realm expert was given off from his body!

The vibe had originated from his physical body!

Wang Baole was energized. He stood up, stepping forward at a fast speed. Immediately, thunderous roars erupted within the room, howling and crashing towards the walls.

Thankfully, he reacted quickly and stopped in his tracks immediately. He pressed his hands on the wall before him, which prevented him from colliding into it.

However, upon pressing the wall, the wall cracked with a deafening sound—debris spewing in all directions. That made Wang Baole stare with his eyes wide open. He felt incredulous as he stood there, lowering his head to look at his body. His breathing speed increased.

The sound produced quickly caught the attention of the warriors standing around him. They all rushed towards Wang Baole, and after seeing the collapsed wall in Wang Baole’s secret room, they were dumbfounded.

The secret room was impossibly strong and sturdy for people who were below that of the Foundation Establishment realm. It was sufficiently strong to withstand the impact produced when True Breath realm cultivators were in the process of seclusion or were testing the power of their spells.

However, it had collapsed...

“It was an accident...” Wang Baole laughed awkwardly as he apologized. With the military officials looking at him bewilderedly, he excused himself and dashed out of the army camp.

In the forest outside, he began to test out his speed. As he leapt into the air, an astonishing loud boom erupted. He was extremely fast, more than ten times his prior speed.

Such a speed made Wang Baole extremely agitated. His eyes glowed, and he threw a punch into the space before him. Instantly, an extremely powerful hurricane appeared before him, one that was so forceful it exceeded that of all his previous spells!

What am I considered as now? Someone of the Physical Foundation Establishment realm? In his exhilaration, Wang Baole questioned himself about the kind of cultivator he was. However, he was clear about one thing, and that was... In the past, he could not fight against people who were of the Foundation Establishment realm cultivation, but at that moment, he was confident in battling them!

That was especially so when he thought of the Supernova, which made him even more excited. He took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fist. He was following the instructions written on the Supernova jade slip, and combining it with his understanding of it after witnessing the instructor elder perform it twice. He also complemented it with the Tidal Technique he learned when he was still a nine-inch Spirit Root.

As he clenched his fist, his body vibrated several times rhythmically. Waves of tidal energy erupted from his body with his own body as the foundation. Uncontrollably, his body curled into the shape of a bow. As he was not well-practiced in it, it appeared as if he was storing his energy instead of performing the Supernova. After breathing several times and reaching his physical limits, Wang Baole lifted his head suddenly. His body was transformed into a large bow that seemed to release its tension instantly!

All the power from his body was like a voracious flood, and also like an arrow that had just sprung off the bow. The force accumulated in his right hand as he punched the space before him!

A deafening thunderous boom erupted. A force that felt extremely frightening to Wang Baole burst out along with his punch. The plants and vegetation immediately withered as if a large invisible hand had forcefully pulled them out. A gigantic vortex appeared, forming strong winds that collided with each other and swept in all directions.

When it ended, Wang Baole stepped back wearily, resting on a tree and out of breath. He was pale. The punch exhausted all his energy, but his eyes carried a look of excitement and surprise.

It was as if an explosion had occurred, forming a large crater that was a hundred feet wide. The force was similar to the Fire God Cannon to a certain degree!

With extremely high spirits, Wang Baole felt that he had gained so much in his adventure in the Federation capital. Not only did he manage to strengthen his body, but he also attained a trump card.

He took a rest before returning to the army camp in a happy mood. After recuperating for a night, the bell for group training sounded the next morning. Wang Baole woke up immediately and rushed towards the enclosed zone where all the seedlings were.

In the days that he was absent, people from the military helped him to apply for leave, which received approval from the elderly instructor. As Wang Baole arrived on the Public Square of the enclosed zone, he instantly came face to face with the seedlings who had also rushed there.

Wang Baole! After days of not seeing Wang Baole, the hatred resurfaced, and cold emerged from their eyes. Wang Baole cleared his throat. He felt that it was unnecessary for him to continue competing with the others. Therefore, he pretended not to see the coldness in their eyes as he smiled and nodded.

“Long time no see, everyone.” Wang Baole laughed, greeting Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng as he walked towards them.

“Baole, you’d better be careful. They have all united against you,” Zhuo Yifan said softly.
