A World Worth Protecting

“The first move of the Weight Loss Cultivation—running!” With Wang Baole’s command, the five hundred students all began running, not just on the Public Square, but around the entire college. They practically sprinted.

Just like he was back then, the students didn’t experience any fatigue from running. They were overflowing with energy, and the thick layer of spirit fat was being absorbed as they ran. Gradually, everyone felt that their capabilities were boosted significantly.

The running lasted for three days. Seeing how their figure was swiftly being restored, the students were relieved. They also found out about an issue, and that was… the fatter someone was before, the quicker their cultivation was leveled up after the Weight Loss Cultivation!

For example, Jin Duozhi had immediately broken through the Blood Qi stage and entered the Physical Seal realm. There were also many who perfected the Blood Qi stage, and these students were without a doubt the fattest of the lot.

“I told all of you previously to believe in the dean. Furthermore, what’s the issue with being fat? The fatter I am, the more powerful I am!” Jin Duozhi spoke with pride, arrogant about how obese he was. That made many students surprised, and at the same time, they also slowly began to realize how reasonable it sounded.

Therefore, they continued running and training while practicing the Heaven Devouring Skill even more diligently. Wang Baole was encouraged, and through this process, the students looked different from day to day. Their figures recovered but soon ballooned up again.

This time, there were no more concerns from anyone, regardless of whether it was the teachers from the school or the students’ parents. After all, they had all seen the transformation that had taken place in their children with their own eyes, and felt the speed of growth in their cultivation, as well their passion towards cultivation, in this short period of time of less than a month.

The former was hard to come by, and the latter was even rarer!

In addition, Wang Baole didn’t disregard the students’ weight gain. When he saw that most of the students were growing fatter, he imparted the second move of the Weight Loss Cultivation Art.

That was… weight lifting!

Wang Baole still remembered that he had achieved a breakthrough previously through weight lifting. Therefore, he put a lot of emphasis on weight lifting, and this prompted the students to lift weights on the Public Square with all their efforts, grunting while they did so.

There were male and female students in the group. Not just the male students, but also the female students, were putting in all their effort. The dumbbells that the female students used were heavier than many of their male schoolmates’. They grunted in such a masculine manner that it surprised the male students.

Wang Baole was very satisfied with this outcome. He weaved within the crowd of students, encouraging them.

Right now, outside the Public Square, several teachers stood dumbfounded looking at the students who were carrying weights like maniacs. One of the teachers mumbled while looking at a female student, who was in the midst of competing with Jin Duozhi.

“I remember that Zhou Mei was a dainty lady just a month ago…”

At this moment, the once dainty lady had become obese. Her strength erupted, and her muscular physique could be seen clearly. Similarly, she achieved a breakthrough in her cultivation, advancing from the Blood Qi stage to the Physical Seal stage, riding on the heels of Jin Duozhi.

Zhou Mei wasn’t an exception. Though it wasn’t the case for everyone, almost half of the five hundred students improved significantly in terms of physique after the past month of training and weight loss. It could be visibly seen that every single one of them were extremely strong physically; each of them inspired to work hard as they grew confident in themselves.

However, before long, some of the students who had advanced the greatest in terms of cultivation seemed to have reached a plateau physically. It was difficult for them to dissolve the spirit fat, regardless of whether it was through running or weight lifting.

In response to this issue, Wang Baole, who had experienced the same thing himself, simply smiled and spoke.

“Which of your parents can construct a big smelting furnace using the blueprint that I have here?”

The moment he said that, many students responded immediately. In the end, Jin Duozhi, using his cultivation that far exceeded that of the other students, managed to kick the other students away in order to grab onto the opportunity to make a loud promise.

“Rest assured, Dean, I will send a voice transmission to my grandfather right away. If it isn’t completed in the next two days, I will break off all ties with him!” Jin Duozhi looked at the other indignant schoolmates around him arrogantly. He was filled with delight as he thought about how he would never concede the opportunity to suck up to the dean to his schoolmates.

Wang Baole patted Jin Duozhi’s thick shoulders encouragingly, deeply heartened. He even further advised Jin Duozhi.

“Express your gratitude to your grandfather sincerely. Don’t break off ties with him so willy-nilly, as this is filial piety…”

Jin Duozhi obeyed Wang Baole’s instructions immediately, and hurriedly nodded his head.

On that very night, a large number of people from the Trilunaris Corporation arrived and began construction. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators also participated, all unhappy but left without a choice but to work. Within two days, an impressive smelting furnace was indeed built.

Even though it still fell short compared to the one from Ethereal Dao College, it was already largely similar to a certain extent. Most importantly, it was completed within two days, which meant that it was a financially costly construction.

With the completion of the smelting furnace, Wang Baole could finally put into practice the third trick of his Weight Loss Cultivation plans. The first batch of students who entered the smelting furnace seemed to have been revived, recovering in terms of their figures, while their cultivation was also significantly raised. This made the other students even more motivated.

At the same time, his cultivation plan was considered completed after the successful construction of the smelting furnace.

His plan was centered around the Heaven Devouring Skill to increase the speed in which the students’ cultivation leveled up. He leveraged on the suction force to absorb large amounts of spirit fat that would otherwise be impossible naturally. After which, he moved through the pipeline first with running, then with weight lifting, and finally the construction of a smelting furnace.

Through these three steps, which allowed the absorption and dissolving of spirit fat, the students were able to regain their figures, and at the same time receive a boost in terms of individual cultivation levels.

All these were just the first part of his plans. He would only move forward to the second part if the first part were successful. At the same time, the elimination process also began.

After all, not everyone could bear with the weight gain for the sake of skill improvement. The first batch of people who were eliminated were the people who didn’t have this sort of determination.

As the dean, Wang Baole felt responsible for this group of students. Everyone who was to leave was able to recover their original figures which had been transformed after his monstrous training regime. After they left after being eliminated, Wang Baole sternly announced to everyone that those who couldn’t persevere shouldn’t continue practicing the Heaven Devouring Skill. If they really wanted to practice the skill, they would need to be able to control themselves.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to recover to their original figures if their body weight increased exponentially, but were unable to persist in physical cultivation.

Just like that, as time passed, there were less than forty days left to the sparring match. Only half of the five hundred students remained without being eliminated.

That group of students chose to remain after understanding the situation. They decided to continue cultivation without any qualms even after their figures had been restored after going through the smelting furnace. They were all even more determined to master the Heaven Devouring Skill, and as a result, in just a few days, they grew fat again.

However, after a few times, the smelting furnace also began to lose its effectiveness, which slowed their cultivation progress down. They all sought solutions from Wang Baole.

Wang Baole seemed to see a figure of his former self looking at those students. He felt emotional and waved his hands while sipping on Ice Spirit Water.

“Rest assured. I have long made preparations and purchased weight loss pills from Earth. It should arrive by tomorrow.” Wang Baole looked encouragingly at the students. Amidst the anticipation of the students, the large batch of Death Pills that Wang Baole had ordered from Xie Haiyang of Earth’s Ethereal Dao College arrived the next morning.

The Death Pills were distributed, and in the days that followed, painful cries filled the entire college. Even passersby who heard the sounds emerging from within the college were frightened, as they wondered about what had happened.

The effect of the Death Pills was astounding. However, there were still some students who were unable to withstand it and were eliminated. In the end, less than a hundred and fifty people remained, and after using the Death Pills, all of them had far surpassed their peers in terms of cultivation and physique.

That was especially so for Jin Duozhi and thirty odd other people. They were already equipped with a good foundation; coupled with the special training regime led by Wang Baole, they had advanced exponentially, directly stepping into the Pulse Enrichment realm after breaking through the Physical Seal stage.

Even though their foundation played some part in the rate of their advancement, it still shocked the college and their parents. At the same time, it motivated the other students, who despite not breaking through the Blood Qi stage, weren’t far behind as they had reached the peak of Blood Qi.

Their physique was also strengthened after the rounds of cultivation. Wang Baole also felt the meaning of creating benefits for each other, as mentioned by Little Missy, for the first time. In reality, following the cultivation of his students, Wang Baole could feel that his devouring seed seemed to have advanced significantly, and that was also the case for his cultivation.

This made him very surprised. However, Wang Baole, knowing that weight loss wasn’t an easy journey, sternly ordered everyone to restrict their practice of the Heaven Devouring Skill from now on. As soon as they discovered that the effect of the Death Pills was tapering down, they were to stop practicing the Heaven Devouring Skill immediately.

Otherwise, even though they could continue to improve their capabilities, it would become more difficult for them to lose weight.

“Even though you wouldn’t die, and will still be able to lose weight, you will have to consider everything carefully.

“Next, I will impart another trump card of mine to all of you, and that is… Baole’s Formidable Skill!

“This skill is unbeatable. When I unleashed the first move of the skill, someone knelt down and cried for mercy while addressing me as daddy. When I unleashed the second skill, someone lost consciousness and died. As for the third move… It is so powerful that it cannot be used as one desires. This is because, once it is used in the present, it could wipe out an entire future generation!”
