A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 76: Start to Retaliate

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lunatics, crazy, gangsters! Wang Baole sat in the cave abode, gritting his teeth as he devoured his snacks. From time to time, he glared at the door of the cave abode.

He had previously peeped a few times, so he did not need to open the door to know that there were many tents outside. The few hundred Dao Enlightenment faculty students were living right outside.

Being stared at in enlightenment by these few hundred people made Wang Baole extremely gloomy. He knew that he could not go out—the moment he went out, it would be difficult for him to go anywhere. This, however, made him feel like he was being confined and also made him extremely irritated.

Unreasonable! Gloomy, Wang Baole did not even have the appetite for his snacks. He felt aggrieved. As someone unbeatable, who had even gotten rid of Lin Tianhao, who had gone through the incident at Pond Cloud Rainforest, he could not believe that he would be troubled by the Dao Enlightenment faculty.

I need a plan! Wang Baole clawed at his hair. Immediately, he thought of the person who could do anything, Xie Haiyang, and sent him a voice transmission.

But this time, it was rare that Xie Haiyang actually... did not respond. Only when Wang Baole continuously sent many voice transmissions did Xie Haiyang finally respond, pained and impatient.

“Brother, I’m already calling you brother. I can’t help you this time. Please don’t look for me. It’s truly that I don’t fear anyone in Ethereal Dao College except... the Dao Enlightenment faculty.

“No matter how much money you give me, I can’t resolve this for you. I’m even more afraid that they will know you contacted me. They’re crazy. The moment you anger them... Brother, please take mercy on me.”

Hearing Xie Haiyang’s reply, Wang Baole drew a gasp. Gritting his teeth, his eyes showed his contempt.

“Coward!” He harrumphed. Agonizing for a long time, he realized that he could only contact the dean. Thus, he sent the dean a voice transmission.

“Dean, the Dao Enlightenment faculty is bullying me. Does the Dao College not care about this? The Dao Enlightenment faculty is too unlawful!”

But this time, even the dean was quiet for a long time before he finally replied to Wang Baole.

“Baole, tell me... Why did you have to offend the Dao Enlightenment faculty? It’s not that the Dao College doesn’t care, it’s just... The Dao Enlightenment faculty has someone backing them that we can’t offend. Outsiders can’t interfere with the fact that they’re using you for enlightenment. Only you can resolve the problem.

“And that’s not the scariest part. You know the scariest part? If they happen to attain enlightenment during this period, then it’s over... You need to know that there are more than 20,000 people in the Dao Enlightenment faculty. Just go and apologize, I’ll help you mediate.”

Wang Baole had not thought of this problem. Hearing the dean speak, his eyes widened, and his brain felt like it was exploding. Thinking of the consequences made Wang Baole’s forehead sweat.

If only I entered the Dao Enlightenment faculty initially... Wang Baole could not help but think of how he had been accused of cheating during the hallucination realm test. If he had been from the Dao Enlightenment faculty, all he would have needed to say was that he was enlightening himself on the Dao, and everything would have been resolved.

Maybe the reason the previous the Federation President was so powerful was because he was from the Dao Enlightenment faculty, with a gangster background!Wang Baole felt like he was going crazy. Although he considered Goatee’s suggestion to apologize, Wang Baole was unwilling as he felt that he had done nothing wrong.

I didn’t even do anything, but I still need to apologize! Wang Baole felt the unfairness deeply. After a long time, he glared and gritted his teeth.

Dao Enlightenment faculty, you have gone too far this time. I will definitely not give in—at most, we’ll fight it out! Just because your powers are stronger... I’m not frightened. I will definitely exceed you!

Wang Baole’s gaze showed his determination. He thought about how the other side did not raise a hand against him but instead used him to seek enlightenment. In that case, he would not raise a hand against them too. If he did, he would look boorish with less skills.

Isn’t it just tormenting people? At six years old, I already knew many tactics to make people break down!

Previously, Wang Baole had not taken action as he had considered the fact that they were all from the same Dao College. These Dao Enlightenment faculty students, however, had truly pushed him to his limit, so Wang Baole would go all out as well.

He sneered as he opened his storage bracelet. Inside, there were many unused materials for Dharmic artifacts that he had previously prepared for refining Dharmic artifacts.

After checking the items, Wang Baole immediately walked out of the cave abode. The moment he walked out of the cave abode, the hundreds of Dao Enlightenment faculty students looked over and stood, following him expressionlessly.

“Then let’s see who gives in first!” Wang Baole sneered and looked away, sending a voice transmission to Liu Daobin. He told them to block the Spirit Cauldron Cave first. Then, he would lead the few hundred Dao Enlightenment faculty students in a circle around the Dharmic Armament peak before fleeing toward the Spirit Cauldron Cave. When he got there, Liu Daobin had already brought the few hundred inspectors to seal the Spirit Cauldron Cave shut.

“Liu Daobin, guard this place carefully, don’t let anyone take half a step inside!” As Wang Baole spoke, his speed raised abruptly, and he flew past Liu Daobin and the others into the Spirit Cauldron Cave, ignoring the face-off between the Dao Enlightenment faculty and the Dharmic Armament faculty inspectors. He immediately sat cross-legged and took out... a puppet!

You glare at me, and you follow me everywhere—that’s fine. You use me to achieve enlightenment—then let me help you make your enlightenment smoother! Wang Baole squinted his eyes and started to change the puppet’s exterior, making it look like himself.

Wang Baole was already very familiar with refining puppets. He only needed six hours to complete the puppet’s exterior. It looked almost identical to Wang Baole, even down to the Head Prefect robe. Although it only had an external appearance, it looked extremely realistic.

Looking at the spitting image of himself, Wang Baole sneered and continued his refinement. Soon, three days passed. Outside the Spirit Cauldron Cave, Liu Daobin and the others felt a growing pressure, having been surrounded by glaring cross-legged Dao Enlightenment faculty students. Suddenly, from within the Spirit Cauldron Cave, a silhouette flew out.

This figure was round and looked like Wang Baole. Its speed was swift and flew over the heads of Liu Daobin and the others in an instant, fleeing far away.

The appearance of the silhouette attracted the attention of all the Dao Enlightenment faculty students. All of them stood up.

“It’s Wang Baole!”

“He finally couldn’t bear it after fighting with our Dao Enlightenment faculty. Everyone, let’s go, keep using him to achieve enlightenment!”

“Wang Baole, if you’re confident, don’t run!”

As the Dao Enlightenment faculty sneered and chased, Liu Daobin and the inspectors wiped their sweat and watched them leave. All of them laughed bitterly and were about to leave when another silhouette suddenly walked out from the Spirit Cauldron Cave. It was actually still Wang Baole!

“Head Prefect, you...” Liu Daobin was stunned. He stared at the second Wang Baole fleeing with a blank expression. Everyone was also stunned. They looked at each other. From behind, a third, a fourth, a fifth... thirteen figures walked out.

They were all Wang Baole, they all wore the Head Prefect robe. After walking out, they all ran in different directions, which surprised Liu Daobin and the others. Even though they had an inkling, they were still shaken.

“These are... puppets?”

Puppets were truly difficult to make. Although the exterior was like that, the most important part was the interior. It required a mastery of Inscriptions and needed a strong Spirit Kernel core in order for it to be as natural as a living being.

Across the entire Lower Academy Island Dharmic Armament faculty, only Wang Baole could do this. This was because he was the only one who could refine Rainbow Spirit Stones as the puppet core, could create a large number of Inscriptions through his mastery of systemic calculations, and was also extremely familiar with Spirit Kernels.

Liu Daobin and the others stared with their eyes and mouths wide open. Over the subsequent days, the Dao Enlightenment faculty students were also all muddled. After all... they had only seen one Wang Baole previously, but today, there were more than ten Wang Baoles on the Dharmic Armament faculty peak.

They could all tell that something was wrong. Wang Baole’s manufactured puppets were too real, however, and given that those from the Dao Enlightenment faculty were not familiar with Dharmic Armaments, it was hard for them to work it out. As such, the problem before them was... they could clearly see Wang Baole but could not tell which one was real!

At the same time, they realized that they had followed one for a long time and stared at him for a long time, only to find out that it was fake. When they went to look again, the ones they encountered were still fake...

Some Wang Baoles were running, some were in the Spirit Cauldron Cave, some had returned to the cave abode to go into seclusion, others went to the Lava Chamber, and even more were swaggering around the Dharmic Armament faculty.

Nobody could even find the real one. Not only the Dao Enlightenment faculty students were muddled—even the Dharmic Armament faculty students were shaken by this. All of them had their eyes opened to a new world, and discussions raged. Even the Spirit Intranet was shaken.

“The fight between Wang Baole and the Dao Enlightenment faculty has a new development!”

“Latest news: Wang Baole created more than ten puppets of himself, confusing the Dao Enlightenment faculty people. So, even if they seek enlightenment, it’s fake enlightenment!”

Soon, there was chaos on the Dharmic Armament faculty peak, but puppets were puppets after all. Though gloomy, the Dao Enlightenment faculty students slowly worked it out and began to find various methods to screen the fake puppets, quickly achieving some success. The real Wang Baole walked among the crowd and looked expressionlessly at the Dao Enlightenment faculty students that ignored him, thinking he was fake. He sneered to himself.

Splitting up your attention was only one of my goals. My real goal is to drag the time out so that I can gather more of your likenesses. Humph, I have too many tactics. Next, I want you Dao Enlightenment faculty students to shake when you see me!Wang Baole’s eyes flashed and he walked into the distance.

The second day... more puppets appeared at the Dharmic Armament faculty peak. They were not Wang Baole’s likeness, however... this time is was the culprit of this debacle, the Dao Enlightenment faculty student who had confessed to Bunny.

This puppet had been made to look just like him. If one did not look carefully, it was hard to notice the difference in a crowd.

The puppet walked among the crowd as though searching for something. Soon, the puppet saw a group of Dao Enlightenment faculty students and noticed the student who looked exactly the same as he. He headed toward the student.

As for this cause of this all, that thin youth was sitting cross-legged seeking enlightenment. With his companions, he gritted his teeth gloomily.

“This Wang Baole is crafty, but we can’t give up. We need to show him the consequences of offending the Dao Enlightenment faculty!”

“That’s right, Brother Chen don’t worry. Since Wang Baole dares to fight against us, we’ll show him a thing or two!”

Bound by a common hatred, all of them spoke to each other when suddenly one of them raised his head. He froze when he saw the puppet walking toward them.

“Brother Chen... That is, I seem to have seen another you...”
