Chapter 306: A Crazy Thought

The Grappling skill was a trump card Wang Baole learned when he was at the Ancient Martial realm. He earned quite a name for himself through the Ancient Martial Arts, regardless of whether it was when he pried the hands of a beast or when he kicked and came up empty-handed.

Even now, with him reaching Foundation Establishment realm, those three trump cards were still effective to a certain extent. Wang Baole hadn’t met anyone who was able to escape from his grasp if he were to unleash the three trump cards unless there was a great difference in their cultivation levels.

Jin Duozhi and the other students who witnessed Wang Baole’s kick outside the Battle-axe Hotel back then were amongst the most excited about being imparted with the Grappling skill. Therefore, they illustrated the Grappling skill to the other students, which made them extremely enthusiastic about it. It was to the extent that they forgot about resting and eating, and they picked up the speed of their practice.

In order to help them in their practice, Wang Baole equipped every single student with a puppet. This way, it would be more exhilarating for the students while they trained.

In the days that followed, the teachers and the other students noticed that the hundred-odd students were constantly battling against their own puppets on the Public Square of the college. They either twisted the puppet’s fingers or their wrist, and the most vicious of them were female students like Zhou Mei who seemed extremely interested in the three moves. They often used a powerful kick that was so vicious that it gripped everyone with fear when they saw it.

Every student and teacher who witnessed the scene were shocked as a chill was sent down their spines. Even students like Jin Duozhi were taken aback seeing the female students unleashing their skills. They all felt that there was no need to participate in the sparring match in one month. All they needed to do was to get the students from Fire Spirit Academy to watch them, and they would concede defeat without asking.

“This is simply ruthless!”

“Why do I have the feeling that the dean’s trump card was specially created for females…” Jin Duozhi and the other students were surprised, and gradually realized that the female students had a better understanding and grasp of the trump card than them. They were indignant, and that caused them to intensify their practice.

The Grappling skill seemed to have transformed their lives to a certain extent, opening a door that would never have been opened previously. As a result, after the students gained an understanding of the fundamentals of the skill, they were able to extend it, creating other new trump cards such as pulling other people’s hair.

In the end, almost all the teachers from Dao Mountain Mist Academy were flabbergasted, as they couldn’t believe the transformation that had occurred in the students. When they attacked, it was even more shocking.

At the same time—even though most of the students heeded Wang Baole’s advice to exercise restraint when practicing the Heaven Devouring Skill to prevent an overt change to their body shape—there were still a few students who either thought too highly of themselves, placed no regard on body weight, or due to some other reasons, didn’t stop their practice of the Heaven Devouring Skill.

Their combat powers far exceeded that of others, advancing significantly by the day just like their body weight. These people included Jin Duozhi, Zhou Mei, as well as the others who were outside the Battle-axe Hotel then. There was also a portion of students, less than forty of them, who joined in as well, and their bodies all grew visibly fatter.

Eventually, every single one of them were astoundingly strong and fat. They were especially prominent when they walked around the Public Square, looking like miniature Wang Baoles.

Therefore, the students were quickly segregated into three groups. The first group consisted of the fatties, while the second group were slightly lagging behind in terms of skill, but had managed to maintain their figures. Despite that, they were still far more advanced than their peers, reaching the Physical Seal stage.

The third group was the largest group. Even though they had persevered until now, they hadn’t managed to break through the Blood Qi realm in terms of cultivation.

However, regardless of the groupings, there had been transformations in terms of their self-confidence, cultivation, appearance, and personality, after going through the special training regime under Wang Baole’s lead for the past two months.

As a role model, Wang Baole’s fame, cultivation, and combat skills were the envy of these students. They all began to admire him blindly.

As a result, the habit of snacking was picked up unconsciously by the students. Following their cultivation of the Grappling skill, these students slowly became sly, and they learned to be thick-skinned while getting used to the bizarre looks cast on them by others.

When he noticed those changes, Wang Baole was immensely heartened. He felt that his students had begun to embody his good qualities. He couldn’t control himself and took out a mirror to look at himself while gushing.

It must be because I am too handsome. Wang Baole shook his head, sighing in a delighted mood as he left the Public Square. After he left, Jin Duozhi, who was looking at him with adoration all the time, noticed the mirror, and his eyes instantly lit up.

The next day, a luxurious mirror formed from concentrating Spirit Stones appeared in Jin Duozhi’s storage bag. He took it out from time to time, looking at the reflection of his plump self in an intoxicated manner, praising himself for how handsome he looked…

In this way, the mirror slowly became the must-have item amongst the students. Some of them took it out often, while some of them did it less. However, regardless of the frequency, everyone was intoxicated with themselves once they took it out.

Perhaps it was this narcissism that managed to hypnotize the students. Gradually, Jin Duozhi and many others grew accustomed to their rotund body shapes and really began to think of themselves as being extremely handsome…

When they looked at Wang Baole, they also found him shockingly handsome.

Wang Baole came to know about this correct sense of beauty held by his students and decided to not correct it. There was even an incredulous thought that surfaced in his mind.

What if… The entire Federation was filled with fatties and viewed obesity as a form of beauty… Then, there would be no more need for me to lose weight, right? With that thought, Wang Baole was gripped by this noble dream of his.

Even though he logically classified the matter as a passing thought, he couldn’t stop himself from thinking about it. If he ever became the Federation President one day and promoted the Heaven Devouring Skill with all his efforts, it would definitely improve the overall capabilities of the entire Federation.

At the same time, he could fulfill this new dream that had surfaced in his mind.

With that thought, Wang Baole’s breathing quickened. He felt that it wasn’t an impossible task… That was especially so as during this period, with the imparting of the Heaven Devouring Skill, even the dean came by to inquire about it, using the excuse of wanting to understand it. He actually passed Wang Baole a jade slip to record the Heaven Devouring Skill.

If this really comes through, there would definitely be Little Missies that are slender and pretty in my eyes but extremely ugly in the eyes of others… With an encouraging gaze, it would be possible to attract her, or even make her stomp in regret that she wasn’t a good match for my handsome looks… With that thought, Wang Baole quickly slapped himself on the head, forcefully stopping himself from thinking further about this evil thought.

I cannot continue to think about this… Wang Baole took a deep breath, burying the thought deep in his head, and began cultivation himself. Even though he was training the students all that while, he didn’t disregard his own cultivation. With the Heaven Devouring Skill becoming increasingly common, the students appeared to be nearing the early-stage of Foundation Establishment at an even faster rate.

The only issue was that he was still unable to sense the Dark Art. He was overcome with indescribable pain every time he forcefully practiced it, and his body would even grow stiff.

That made him extremely frustrated. He wanted to ask Little Missy about it but felt somewhat embarrassed. Therefore, he grew even more determined.

I don’t believe this. I will definitely succeed in mastering the Dark Art!

Just like that, days passed as Wang Baole practiced and trained the students. The annual Martian Day also neared gradually. This so-called Martian Day commemorated the day the Mars City was built and was meant to give recognition to the brave warriors of the Federation, hence the name.

At the same time, Lin Tianhao’s plan of spreading rumors grew more apparent with the constant preparation made during the three months, and as the sparring match neared.

He even put in good money to rent the most prominent spirit screen in each zone of Mars. He promoted the sparring match and also created invitation cards to invite all parents of Dao Mountain Mist Academy’s students to spectate the sparring match on Martian Day.

That wasn’t all, he even contacted the Fire Spirit Academy through some means and managed to convince them to pay half of the cost willingly, and also to invite the participation of the parents of their students.

Furthermore, in order to invite the Governor as a spectator, Lin Tianhao found the alumni records and looked through all the students who had graduated. Even though not everyone could attend, many still agreed to come as it was an invitation from their alma mater.

Almost half of the powerful people on Mars will participate… This way, it strengthens the foundation for me to invite the Governor to participate as well! After making all the preparations, Lin Tianhao was extremely confident as he reported the matter to Wang Baole.

Right now, he had already gotten used to working under Wang Baole. He understood that inviting the Governor wasn’t something he should get involved in; instead, the correct way would be to get Wang Baole to handle it.
