A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 352: All Lined Up!

There was already an indescribable rage in Zhuo Yixian and the Mars military candidate’s heart. Now that they heard what Wang Baole said, they were about to explode. It was like adding oil to fire, and the two of them were close to losing it and battling it out with Wang Baole right there and then.

However, after considering Wang Baole’s combat capabilities, both of them swallowed their pride. After all, it was impossible for them to let their servants help in fighting Wang Baole. There were also rules, though few in numbers, for this assessment. The most basic of them was that there was to be no internal fighting.

Furthermore, it was difficult to consider what Wang Baole did as an act of killing his peers. After all, he wasn’t that capable, and it wasn’t exactly wrong for him to hide and play dead…

However, that made Zhuo Yixian and the other candidate even more indignant. After staring furiously at Wang Baole, Zhuo Yixian wasted no time, making use of whatever he had left to restore and upgrade his base. He had thought through everything clearly, and he concluded that if he didn’t strengthen his base before the next Beast Tide arrived, he would land in danger.

At the same time, under this tense busyness surrounding the area near Wang Baole, which was also where Zhuo Yixian put the most effort in building, the candidate from Mars’ military lowered his head and looked at his tattered base, then back at Wang Baole. In his anger and sadness, he found a place to sit and shouted at Wang Baole.

“Wang Baole, don’t think that I’m unaware that you were raised by pigs when you were young! Otherwise, why are you so uncultured and so fat!

“Also, you’re a Dharmic Armament cultivator, so why don’t you recreate yourself with your smelting furnace! You son of a b*tch!”

From the start till the end of his scoldings, he didn’t hold back a single bit, pouring out all the indignation that he had suppressed in his heart. In reality, he felt that since he wouldn’t be competing anymore, and wouldn’t be able to physically fight Wang Baole, he could only scold him. If Wang Baole were offended and beat him up, then he would be eliminated as well.

The curses he spewed shocked the viewers of the live stream from the Federation. The candidate from Mars’s military seemed very proficient at scolding others, never stopping even once.

“Wang Baole, if you were a fresh flower, the cow wouldn’t even sh*t on you if it saw you!

“You’re so impressive huh? Aren’t you great at playing dead? If you’re really so great, then go hold your pee! If you’re still alive after keeping it in for three days and three nights, then I’ll give it to you!”

His curses never ended. When the personnel from Mars’s military watched the live stream, they were all shocked and dumbfounded. They had never realized that this candidate that was there just to make up the numbers was capable of such a thing.

Wang Baole was initially angered by what he heard, but eventually, he just sighed in an annoyed manner and didn’t care any longer. He pretended not to hear and hummed songs while taking out his chair in a carefree manner, sitting on it before opening up his box of chicken wings. Realizing that they had gone cold, he waved his right hand and started a fire to roast them…

The donkey’s eyes lit up, galloping towards Wang Baole and trying to get Wang Baole’s favor, its tail shaking more vigorously than before. Wang Baole took a look and didn’t care about the donkey, not even giving it the bones as he did previously.

That made the donkey anxious and tempted to go snatch the food from Wang Baole. However, it was afraid that Wang Baole would order its mouth to be shut again, and instead circled Wang Baole nervously. Seeing that Wang Baole had eaten all the chicken wings, the donkey was about to go crazy. It screeched while turning its body suddenly to look at the candidate from Mars’ military who had already let loose, sitting there, drinking water while continuing to scold Wang Baole.

Right now, seeing that Wang Baole didn’t respond, the candidate used his voice transmission ring and activated the camera function, taking pictures of Wang Baole while sneering.

“Fine if you’re not responding! I’ll hang your picture up on the wall! It’ll chase away evil spirits in the day, and act as contraception at night!”

Wang Baole had pretended not to hear his insults previously, but rage was already rising in his heart. Now that he heard that sentence, he was about to explode. He stared angrily, thinking about whether he should risk breaking the rules to bash him up. The donkey seemed to have found the chance and began sneering at the candidate.

“Son! Son!”

Its voice was so loud that it scared the candidate. He was about to speak when the screams from the donkey grew even louder. Noticing the donkey’s response, Wang Baole was heartened, so pleased that he tossed a chicken wing to the donkey. The donkey grew excited and put in even more effort in its sneers.

This way, as the surrounding candidates grew annoyed and the viewers from the Federation grew increasingly bewildered, the bickering between the Mars candidate and the donkey continued for half an hour…

In that hour, Wang Baole sat in a carefree manner. When he had his fill of food, and as the loud boom originating from the seal a distance away was heard, Wang Baole stood up.

I am a lone ranger. My courage to compete against ninety thousand people says that the handsome me is extraordinary. Emotionally, as he noticed the second Beast Tide erupting amidst the reverberation of the loud boom, Wang Baole leaped into the trench, burying himself in it, with the donkey following suit…

Noticing that, Zhuo Yixian gritted his teeth. He had completed the restoration of his base but didn’t manage to expand and strengthen it. He was increasingly anxious, and that was when he noticed that the candidate from the Mars military hurriedly digging a trench and burying himself in it. A thought suddenly struck Zhuo Yixian as he saw what was happening.

“Oh no!”

He wasn’t the only one surprised. The candidate from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, who was a neighbor to the candidate from Mars’ military, was also surprised. What followed was that innumerable ferocious beasts emerging from the seal, screaming. This time, due to an increase in the size of the seal’s opening, the wave of ferocious beasts that emerged was more impressive, both in terms of scale and strength.

The number of ferocious beasts with True Breath realm cultivation had also increased. Even ferocious beasts of the Foundation Establishment realm emerged… This gripped Li Yi and the others in fear. Very soon, the Beast Tide exploded, and the beasts charged in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, loud booms sounded out continuously. It was on such a large scale that all the Dharmic Artifacts were being activated, the compounded force so shocking and its impact so strong that it swept in all directions. Looking from a distance away, this round of resistance was like a hurricane.

An hour later, Zhuo Yixian was filled with sadness and anger as his base was completely warped. Since the zones belonging to Wang Baole and the candidate from Mars’s military were empty, the beasts that charged towards those areas split up, diverting towards the areas nearest to them.

For the candidate from Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, since he didn’t suffer significant damage from the first Beast Tide, he had substantial power to resist the ferocious beasts. However, it was a different case for Zhuo Yixian, who was clearly weaker, which attracted more ferocious beasts towards him.

After holding up for an hour, Zhuo Yixian had reached his limits. As the last of his servants escaped bitterly, Zhuo Yixian screamed towards the heavens.

“Wang Baole, what rotten luck did I have to become neighbors with you? I hate you!”

After screaming, with his face red with rage, and with the unwillingness to become the first to be eliminated that was similar to that of the candidate from Mars’s military, Zhuo Yixian suppressed his indignation and madness and began digging a trench… After that, he laid in it and buried himself.

In his anger, his base suddenly collapsed and was trampled to flat ground…

After noticing Wang Baole and the two other candidates playing dead, the other candidates were also thrown into a state of madness. Without a doubt, the ferocious beasts originally directed to the trio dispersed automatically, joining the other beasts. That immediately increased the pressure faced by the rest of the candidates.

Therefore, the second Beast Tide, which wasn’t supposed to be that challenging, resulted in significant losses for all the candidates. Another hour went by, and the Beast Tide finally ended. The gaze from Li Yi and the others fell on Wang Baole and the other two candidates who emerged from their trenches. They stared with rage while gritting their teeth.

Wang Baole sniggered. He felt that if he wanted to become the Federation President, being thick-skinned was a skill that he had to master. For example, a golden opportunity to hone that skill had presented itself right now. Therefore, he calmly shook off the dust on his body while emotionally commenting.

“That was it? Did I just win by lying down? Imagine if I emerged first using this extremely witty method, hah, my name would be recorded in history!” Wang Baole hushed. On the other hand, Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars weren’t as thick-skinned. They all looked awkward and felt extremely embarrassed.

However, there was nothing else they could do. No one wanted to be the first to be eliminated, and all they could do was to bear with the embarrassment. At the same time, they stared angrily at Wang Baole, none of them believing that the Beast Tide would disregard the area forever. Otherwise, it would be too easy for Wang Baole.

That wasn’t far from the truth. Two hours later, when the third Beast Tide emerged, everyone felt that something was different. The temperature of the environment was significantly lowered. At the same time, they saw that a large number of spirit-like creatures had floated out from the seal.

Some of the spirits flew in the air, some wriggled into the ground, while some emerged from underneath. Looking from afar, there were a large number of spirits. To a certain extent, they seemed to be able to disregard the steel walls as they charged towards the different zones. They let out an ear-piercing scream, which formed sound waves that shook everything.

Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’ military were about to lie back down in the trench when they noticed what was happening. The two of them, and Wang Baole, were all taken aback. They knew that it was useless to play dead this time around. However, Wang Baole had prepared amply, and right now, without hesitation, he took out ten gigantic megaphones!

He laid it all out in his area, and turned all of them on at the same time!
