Wang Baole was seething with rage. He did not leave immediately, instead standing there as his thoughts swirled in his mind while he awaited the return of the blue-shirted cultivator. Before long, the blue-shirted cultivator returned, and with a single glance at Wang Baole’s facial expression, he understood that Wang Baole had already understood the situation. Therefore, he put his jade slip away and stayed silent.

Looking at the blue-shirted cultivator, a flash appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He cupped his fists and began to speak suddenly.

“Senior Brother, I was hot-tempered when I was on the Lower Academy Island. I was unfriendly with Lin Tianhao and once attacked his subordinates in front of him. He is well aware of my personality.” Wang Baole’s eyes flashed as he spoke from his heart.

As he spoke, the blue-shirted cultivator was taken aback, and his eyes narrowed into slits. Qualifying for a place in Ethereal Dao College, passing the major assessments to enter the Upper Academy Island, and making it to the ranks of someone in charge of the administrative office indicated that he was not ignorant. The cultivator understood instantly as he listened to Wang Baole’s words, and he turned solemn.

He realized that he had most probably been taken advantage of by Lin Tianhao, who was plotting against Wang Baole. If Wang Baole was so provoked by anger that he lost control of himself and resorted to violence against Lin Tianhao, the situation would have turned ugly. After all, had it not been Wang Baole, who had excellent people skills, he would not have revealed the information. He had a duty and responsibility to fulfill, and issues implicating the cave abodes were secrets that should not be in the public eye.

Had conflict arisen, there would have been trouble in his own territory, which would have affected his reputation. Wang Baole would have appeared unreasonable, creating a terrible impression the moment he arrived at the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, which meant that he would be punished. As for Lin Tianhao, the most he would have needed to do was apologize as he was not the one who carried out the assault. When he was rushing Lin Tianhao on the cave abode a few days ago, he did not reject but instead simply said that there would be a delay of a few days.

“This Lin Tianhao is trying to push all the blame to me?” The blue-shirted cultivator revealed a cold, distant look in his eyes as he looked at Wang Baole and spoke. He was no simple character to be pushed around given his experience, which had landed him in his current position.

“Junior Brother Wang Baole, I have rushed Junior Brother Lin several times. This time, could you help me to remind him again?” As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and passed it to Wang Baole.

“Thank you, Senior Brother!” Wang Baole’s eyes lit up. He had clearly stated his wishes previously, and this was exactly the result he wanted. He accepted the jade slip and turned to leave.

Looking at Wang Baole leave, the blue-shirted cultivator raised his head and turned to look in the direction of Lin Tianhao. He snorted—to him, regardless of whether it was Wang Baole or Lin Tianhao, they were the same. However, now that he compared the both of them, he could immediately make a conclusion and was willing to help Wang Baole and give him a legitimate reason.

Now, as Wang Baole left the Pavilion Administrative Department, he began charging toward Lin Tianhao’s cave abode, the fury in his heart burning stronger than ever.

Lin Tianhao, regardless of whatever evil plots you had previously, I will hit you till you cry like a baby! Plotting against me, taking over my cave abode?

The more Wang Baole thought about it, the more furious he became. He picked up speed, dashing toward the cave abode zone.

From afar, he looked like a gigantic ball, kicking up dust as he charged past everyone. Many disciples within the Dharmic Armament Pavilion were taken aback after noticing the fuss.

“What is it?”

“What’s this fatty going to do, running at such a high speed?”

As curiosity arose in the disciples, Wang Baole had arrived at the cave abode zone, specifically to the edges of the zone where Lin Tianhao’s cave abode was. He raised his right hand and retrieved a big megaphone and screamed nonsensically, starting with calling Lin Tianhao names.

“Lin Tianhao, you bully! I’ll fight till the end with you!”

His voice was like the thunder, exploding in pulses within the cave abode zone. Lin Tianhao’s cave abode was the hardest hit, as the sound wave was so strong that it spread into the cave abode, straight through the insulation of the array formation.

Lin Tianhao, who was refining Dharmic Artifacts, jolted in shock. Hearing the voice, he laughed coldly, knowing that his ploy had worked. He guessed that Wang Baole had a conflict with the Pavilion Administrative Department before coming, and now that he had come for himself, he pretended not to hear anything.

Seeing how Lin Tianhao had refused to come out from his cave abode, Wang Baole turned solemn as he stood in front of the cave abode. At the same time, as the sound waves continued spreading, people residing in the cave abodes a distance away emerged and began reprimanding Wang Baole.

“Who’s screaming and shouting?”

“So noisy!”

Listening to the scolding from a distance away, Wang Baole laughed coldly before holding up the large megaphone again to scream into it.

“Lin Tianhao, I’m not the one who separated you from Jiang Dalong 1 . Even though you cruelly and wickedly destroyed my Zhu Gangqiang 2 , but I really respected the love between the both of you!”

The scolding from afar stopped momentarily after he spoke before being replaced with even louder exclamations of shock.

“What’s the situation? There’s too much information from that message…”

“Who’s Zhu Gangqiang, and who’s Jiang Dalong? They sound like the names of strong, beastly males….”

“Holy shit. This is a scoop! To think that Lin Tianhao had such preferences…”

As the commotion spread, Lin Tianhao could not bear it any longer. He immediately opened the cave abode and rushed out, roaring with anger.

“Wang Baole, what nonsense are you blaring?”

“You’re finally willing to come out!” The moment the furious Lin Tianhao walked out, Wang Baole’s anger erupted, his body charging out immediately, and the Spirit thread within him spread. His speed was boosted to the maximum as he arrived in front of Lin Tianhao, raising his right hand and landing a punch on him.

Wang Baole put in all his strength into the punch without reserving a single bit of his energy. He controlled the Spirit Qi from within while drawing in Spirit Qi from the outside, resulting in a hurricane in front of his fist that erupted right before Lin Tianhao.

Despite being an impressive, capable individual who had broken through at the eight-inch state and had made ample preparations by deploying his Numinous Treasures for protection, Lin Tianhao had still underestimated Wang Baole’s prowess. Now, Wang Baole’s punch, accompanied by a loud boom, directly landed on his body, breaking apart all sorts of protective measures that he had prepared.

It was deafeningly loud, and his body was thrown into the air, out of the cave abode area, unable to withstand the impact. His utter disbelief was apparent on his face, but the shield-like protection afforded by his Numinous Treasures against Wang Baole’s punch merely made him pale-faced.

“B*stard Lin, I’ve been wanting to punch you for a long time. It’s time we settle the matters from the Pond Cloud Rainforest!”

Releasing his anger, Wang Baole picked up speed as he rushed toward Lin Tianhao, kicking hard at his crotch.

“How could he be so fast?” Lin Tianhao was taken aback. He wanted to dodge, but Wang Baole’s speed was unbelievable. As he neared, Lin Tianhao was kicked into the sky, accompanied by a loud boom once again, before landing on the mountain rocks a distance away.

The moment he landed, Lin Tianhao had wanted to take cover at the side while bearing with his pain breathlessly. However, he was still too slow. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole neared again, grabbing a fistful of Lin Tianhao’s hair and swinging him hard toward a corner. He then kicked his crotch strongly again, sending him toward the mountainous rocks in the opposite direction.

This tactic was something that Wang Baole had learned from the nine-inch Spirit Root. He was like a hurricane due to his speed and strength in order to block any opportunity for retaliation for the other party once they lost it!

As the loud boom reverberated, Lin Tianhao, despite being protected by his Numinous Treasures, was beaten to the extent that fresh blood spurted out from his mouth and pain radiated from every part of his body as a result of the repeated attacks. He was in a daze, but Wang Baole’s angry roar indicated that it was far from over.

“You still dare to take my cave abode? You have forced me into this. I did not originally intend to blurt out the information between you and Jiang Dalong, as well as my pitiful Zhu Gangqiang. You were too cruel and too overbearing!”

Between his words, Wang Baole dashed out again, attacking continuously. Regardless of whether he twisted Lin Tianhao’s arm or kicked his crotch, Wang Baole was extremely vicious. Furthermore, his strength was far too superior that Lin Tianhao’s, who, despite also having incredible strength, had no way to fight back or resist Wang Baole.

Right now, numerous Dharmic Armament Pavilion cultivators had gathered and were watching the commotion. After understanding what was going on, they were shocked.

“Wang Baole? I have heard of him before. He’s the new disciple this year, and he’s ferocious!”

“Is he from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion like us? Why does it feel like he belongs to the Combat Pavilion next door? This… what’s this combat power?”

“And this Lin Tianhao, is it true that he really likes men? However, why did Wang Baole mention ‘his Zhu Gangqiang’?”

As the surrounding crowd discussed, Lin Tianhao’s roared crazily. Instantly, it seemed like a red glow had erupted from within his body. It was obvious that he had activated his secret treasure, resulting in a light wave that allowed him to break free of Wang Baole’s hurricane-like attacks and gave him the chance to retreat swiftly.

Wang Baole’s pupils constricted. There were many people around, making it inconvenient for him to unleash his prowess. Seeing that Lin Tianhao had broken free of the tight situation, he did not chase after him but instead cleared his throat and cupped his fists while facing the onlookers.

“Good morning, Senior Brothers. All of you are witnesses that once I mention the incident about him and my Zhu Gangqiang, he went crazy with guilt!”

The onlookers looked at each other, bewildered. Lin Tianhao’s mind buzzed with activity. He had never experienced such an incident and had never been beaten so hard another. If that was it, he could still let it go, but with the mentioning of Zhu Gangqiang, he had lost all control.

Now, his body was in intense pain, and his finger was about to break off. The immense pain in his crotch resulted in blood shot eyes, but he did not lose logical control of himself as he forcefully calmed down.

“Wang Baole, there’s no use fabricating these things! The innocent will know that they are innocent!”

Between words, Lin Tianhao’s eyes revealed a cold, evil look. He retrieved a flying knife Numinous Treasure, and the moment it flew, it instantly created a suppressive force. Its quality was shocking, and it was at least a fifth-grade Numinous Treasure. It was obvious that other than the protective treasures, Lin Tianhao had another trump card.

Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed. He felt that it was not enough to simply attack Lin Tianhao. Since he had plotted against him, then he should tarnish his reputation, regardless of whether it was true or not. After all, once his reputation was tarnished, it would be difficult for him to deny anything. Therefore, he harrumphed.

“Fellow Daoists, I have proof!”

As he spoke, Wang Baole raised his right hand, instantly retrieving a puppet. It was a large puppet that was full of hair. With one look at it, anyone could tell that it was burly and strong, and the moment it saw Lin Tianhao, it became coy.

The puppet let out a disturbing sound as it ran toward Lin Tianhao, its arms raised as if wanting to hug Lin Tianhao.

That sound, crisp and clear, spread in all directions…

That figure, extremely alluring, extremely captivating…

“That’s my Zhu Gangqiang! After being tormented by Lin Tianhao for three days and three nights, it can only let out such sounds all day. Lin Tianhao, tell me, what exactly did you do to my Zhu Gangqiang?” Wang Baole screamed angrily.
