“Wang Baole, this is the private matter of the Five Generation Sky Clan. If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing ever happened and even reward you with a huge gift!” Zhuo Yixian looked terrible, even slightly fearful. Wang Baole’s attack previously still caused his heart to pound heavily in shock.

“Consider everything carefully and thoroughly. This is a private matter and not a competition between Dao Colleges. From beginning to end, I was the only one who attacked him, and none of my schoolmates participated in this. They only helped me to surround the seven-inch Spirit Root!”

If it were someone else, Zhuo Yixian would not have bothered to explain. Instead, he would have frightened the other party away by attacking them. However, he was facing Wang Baole, and he had no choice but to patiently explain himself.

“Private matter?” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Even though he had clashed with Zhuo Yifan, they were schoolmates after all. Furthermore, the clash between them was not something that was so severe that it could not be resolved. If he did not notice the situation, he would not have bothered, but since he had seen it—as the Head Prefect, a fellow schoolmate, and someone who was so powerful—he could not turn a blind eye to it without feeling immoral.

“I don’t care whether it’s a private matter or not. The mighty Wang Baole is going to interfere in it!” Wang Baole stared straight ahead, and at the moment he spoke, he charged.

He was not charging at Zhuo Yixian but at the six students from White Deer Dao College who were surrounding the seven-inch Spirit Root. They were surprised—even though they knew Wang Baole was rash and extreme, as students of White Deer Dao College, their pride prevented them from retreating. Instead, they all rushed forward, trying to resist Wang Baole collectively.

However, the very instant they charged, Wang Baole immediately raised his left hand, and tens of flying swords emerged, behaving like they were controlled via Sword Kinesis. Giving off a magnificent vibe, they headed straight toward the six of them.

“Sword Kinesis!” The six students were taken aback, and they quickly retrieved their Dharmic artifacts in an attempt to resist it.

Wang Baole’s moves were too fast. As the six students attempted to resist the impact, Zhuo Yifan’s expression changed. He wanted to help, but Wang Baole had already changed direction. His ultimate goal was not Zhuo Yixian, nor the six students, but Zhuo Yifan’s seven-inch Spirit Root!

With Wang Baole acuity, the moment he arrived, he had already assessed the situation and concluded that the seven-inch Spirit Root was the most important. He exploded forward with intense speed, faster than he had been previously, approaching the seven-inch Spirit Root that was succumbing to its injuries as it made futile attempts to retreat, grabbing it before slamming it hard.

With a loud bang, the seven-inch Spirit Root could no longer withstand the impact. It disintegrated in midair, transforming into a green fog, and rushed straight toward Zhuo Yifan before being integrated into his body.

Under the siege of the flying swords, the six students from White Deer Dao College all retreated, looking both frightened and angry. They wanted to spread out and attempt to prevent Zhuo Yifan from absorbing the green fog, but even before they could do anything, Wang Baole’s menacing voice was heard.

“Think about it carefully, all of you! Everything earlier can be classified as an incident of snatching away one’s opportunities and helping one’s schoolmate out, both of which are nothing serious. However, now that Zhuo Yifan has already begun the absorption process, unless there is some deep grudge, if any of you interfere, it’ll be considered an attempt to block the future of an Ethereal Dao College student!

“I will not let this matter rest. All of you have already secured a place in the Upper Academy of White Deer Dao College. Surely, none of you would wish to be involved in a small issue like this that could put your positions at risk, right?”

Hearing Wang Baole’s words, the six students’ facial expressions varied, but they immediately calmed down; what Wang Baole had said made perfect sense. Indeed, if the absorption had not begun, the incident would have been nothing serious as it would merely be thought of as a case of snatching one’s opportunity, which was something that everyone would have committed to certain degrees. However, since the absorption process had begun, any attempts to prevent it would be considered taboo and challenging the regulations of the four major Dao Colleges!

Furthermore, they were not Zhuo Yixian, who was related through his bloodline to Zhuo Yifan, making the situation more understandable when taking into account their shared family background. In this case, if Wang Baole grabbed hold of evidence of their wrongdoing, they would be severely disadvantaged.

“Wang Baole, how dare you foil my success!” Witnessing everything, Zhuo Yixian shouted angrily, his eyes revealing an intense desire to kill. He raised his right hand, retrieving a pill and swallowing it right away. Immediately after, the aura of his body rose rapidly, and he charged toward Wang Baole with wide steps, directly and fiercely.

When he attacked, an illusionary figure appeared behind him. It was not formed because of his unbelievable speed. Instead, it was composed of the accumulation of Blood Qi. A faint red glow appeared, and that made Wang Baole feel threatened.

“Wang Baole, he’s swallowed the Former Incarnation Pill unique to the Five Generation Sky Clan, allowing him to be equipped with the mystic techniques of the Five Generation Sky Clan. The figure behind Zhuo Yixian is the result of the previous incarnation he has gathered! It can significantly increase his combat prowess!” Zhuo Yifan immediately informed Wang Baole of what was happening as he watched the scene unfolding before his eyes while the absorption of the Spirit Root continued.

While Zhuo Yifan was still informing Wang Baole, Zhuo Yixian had already crept up beside Wang Baole. He raised his right leg and kicked hard, and his previous incarnation behind his back did the same with a loud bang. Their kicks seemed to synchronize and stack up with each other, making Zhuo Yixian’s kick glow bright red!

Not only did their speed increase exponentially, their power was also significantly boosted. This combination broke the sound barrier, producing a deafening sound that charged directly at Wang Baole!

Wang Baole’s eyes were alert and attentive. Mirroring Zhuo Yixian, he also raised his right leg and kicked powerfully at Zhuo Yixian!

The deafening boom shook the skies. Like an ocean, a Blood Qi tsunami erupted. Zhuo Yixian let out a low grunt, and his heart palpitated rapidly.

“Why is this fatty’s strength even greater now compared to a while ago?” The previous incarnation of Zhuo Yixian’s right leg immediately dispersed, as if it had taken the blow in Zhuo Yixian’s place.

Zhuo Yixian was unscathed, and even though he was in shock, he did not hesitate even for a moment. He raised his right hand, and a short black sword immediately appeared, directed toward Wang Baole’s chest with the obvious goal of piercing it.

“Interesting!” Wang Baole’s eyes flashed, realizing that Zhuo Yixian was no small fry. At that instant, the devouring seed in his body erupted, and a potent absorption force emanated from the palm of his right hand. Not only did the force influence Zhuo Yixian’s short sword, it also directed Zhuo Yixian’s physical body.

This sudden absorption force caused Zhuo Yixian to be taken aback. It was too late for him to wriggle free. With a vicious smile, Wang Baole landed a heavy, impactful kick directly onto Zhuo Yixian’s chest.

With a loud bang, the ring on Zhuo Yixian’s finger flashed, and a protective shield covered his body once again. Even though it managed to resist Wang Baole’s kick, it disintegrated immediately, and the aftershock caused Zhuo Yixian’s body to move backward.

Wang Baole’s moved swiftly, and with a heavy step, he immediately rushed out, with his right hand pointing at the flying swords nearby. Under the control of magnetic forces, the flying swords suddenly flew into the air.

However, Zhuo Yixian was someone with a rich combat experience. As he stepped back, his eyes revealed a look of viciousness, and he hit his own chest with his hands hard, resulting in a mouthful of black blood spurting out.

“Previous Incarnation Shadow Kill!”

The moment he spoke, the Blood Qi incarnation within his body that had originally lost a leg due to the impact suddenly separated, rushing out of his body and charging directly at Wang Baole. As it neared Wang Baole, it imploded!

A loud boom reverberated, and the dust that was drawn into the air by the implosion immediately enveloped Wang Baole. Zhuo Yixian bled profusely—it seemed that the implosion of his previous incarnation had affected him, too. He did not have time to wipe the blood away, and in his retreat, the ring on his finger flashed once again. With the appearance of the protective shields, the flying swords that were zeroing in on him were blocked.

Zhuo Yixian laughed wryly as the sounds of impact reverberated.

“Wang Baole, you’re strong indeed! However, you’re disadvantaged because of the self-protection treasure from my family clan!”

The six White Deer Dao College students nearby stood in shock. They watched as Zhuo Yixian’s protective shield broke and reformed, and they began to realize that his ring was no simple object.

However, as Zhuo Yixian spoke, fleeting laughter emerged from the dust cloud formed by the implosion of the past incarnation.

“That’s all you’ve got?”

The moment the voice was heard, Zhuo Yixian was taken aback. In the dust cloud, a golden glow suddenly emerged, and it shot into the sky!

The golden glow was shiny and captivating, and as it spread, it formed an ocean of Blood Qi that suffused in all directions. Wang Baole stepped out from within, his speed faster than ever. He carried a golden glow and appeared directly before Zhuo Yixian as he raised his right hand, grabbing him by the neck and raising him into the air!

“Do you want to die?” Wang Baole asked. His body was cloaked in a golden glow, making him look like a god from the heavens.
