A World Worth Protecting Chapter 47: You Must Be the Inscriptions Head Prefect

When the sky became bright, no one in the lecture hall paid it any notice. Wang Baole and the elder's conversation had shaken everyone's heart.

In the end, Wang Baole stood, his gaze filled with deep gratitude, and bowed deeply to the elder.

"Thank you very much, Senior! I have no more questions!"

When this elder—who came from Upper Academy Island's Dharmic Armament Pavilion—looked at Wang Baole, his appreciation grew even more than before. From Wang Baole's questions, he could already tell that Wang Baole had a profound understanding of Inscriptions.

This kind of understanding could not have been achieved by memorizing many Inscriptions. He knew that it required a stunning talent. As wished to nurture such talent, he could not help but open his mouth to continue their discussion.

"Young friend, you have already asked me almost a hundred questions. This old man also wants to ask you some. If you can answer to my satisfaction, I will gift you a Dharmic artifact. Are you willing to try?"

As the elder spoke, his right hand raised, showing a jade green bracelet. The bracelet was emerald green all over, like a jewel. It gave off a cold Qi, causing the temperature in the lecture hall to drop significantly.

All the Head Prefects stared at the elder's bracelet with wide eyes. Although they could not quite tell the grade of the object, they understood that since it was from the elder's hand, it was definitely not common.

"Wang Baole, this is a top level second-grade Dharmic artifact, a storage bracelet! It has a certain protective property. You must answer well, kid." The Chancellor looked over and smiled while speaking.

The moment he spoke, the surrounding Head Prefects exclaimed. There was even a large number of them whose hearts were in turmoil, and they could not help but be speechless.

"A storage Dharmic artifact! Heavens!"

"That's a… storage Dharmic artifact!"

"Storage Dharmic artifacts are all of great value. You can't buy one at the market. Only people who have reached the True Breath realm will have a chance to have one!"

Cao Kun was so jealous that his eyes were going to explode; he inhaled, his mind buzzing. Wang Baole was also frantic. He knew the value of a storage Dharmic artifact and understood the difficulty in constructing one. Furthermore, the bracelet even had a certain protective property to it.

It could be said that this object's value was even more precious than a regular storage Dharmic artifact.

All of this agitated Wang Baole. He took a deep breath and spoke loudly.

"Senior, please ask your questions!"

The elder laughed, stroked his beard, and slowly spoke.

"Kid, listen well. If we want to get the water Inscription, we need will need to match many types of Inscriptions. But there is water vapor in the air. Can we use this point, using the three states of water, to carve the Dharmic artifact Inscription better and show a better effect? What Inscriptions can we use to match?"

The moment the elder spoke, Cao Kun's hands started to sweat. He found that even though he was the Inscriptions Head Prefect and could understand the question… upon thinking properly, he did not understand the overall meaning. So, he quickly looked at Wang Baole.

Even Goatee and the other teachers of the Dharmic Armament faculty started to think. The Chancellor, who stood to the side, narrowed his eyes when he heard the question. They way he saw it, if Wang Baole's questions involved high-level Inscriptions study, the question raised by his own senior brother was completely on high-level Inscriptions study content.

Wang Baole's eyes widened, and his brain immediately used the mask's formula to dissect the elder's question and place it in his formula. It was a shame that this problem was too difficult, and he could not calculate the answer through his systemic deduction in one go. As such, his brain worked swiftly, and in this short period of thinking time, he used the formula to calculate more than ten times.

As he calculated, he looked at the bracelet in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder's hand. In it, he found the crux of his answer, but he could not explain it as he had arrived at his answer through his system. This was different from the so-called high-level Inscriptions study. Wang Baole thought for a moment, took out a Spirit Stone, and actually started carving Inscriptions on the spot. This action drew everyone's attention.

As for the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder, his expression was the same, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Wang Baole carved at full speed sometimes and paused at other times. He was constantly working out and calculating the formula in his brain, and after more than a hundred derivations, he finally carved the last stroke!

The Spirit Stone violently flickered, and with a cracking sound, it broke into pieces and became dust. The surrounding people blinked. Cao Kun felt relieved, and the corner of mouth curled into a sneer.

But just as he started to sneer, Wang Baole took a few steps back, ignoring the flying dust of the broken Spirit Stone, and cupped his fists to pay his respects to the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder.

"Good, good, good!" The Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder laughed loudly and stood up. He waved his right hand, and the storage bracelet flew toward Wang Baole.

After receiving it, Wang Baole was incredibly grateful and quickly thanked the elder loudly.

"Thank you very much for the treasure, Senior!"

The Chancellor's eyes also showed his admiration as he looked deeply at Wang Baole. Goatee and the other teachers, too, had a rich appreciation in their eyes.

This was too strange, and the surrounding Head Prefects did not really understand. Cao Kun's eyes grew wider. Even though he looked properly, he still could not make heads or tails of it. He did not know why the Chancellor and the others were so appreciative.

Only Lin Tianhao's expression changed dramatically in that instant. His breathing became rough, and his heart shook, creating a storm within him.

Just as these Head Prefects were in confusion, the dust of the Spirit Stone in front of Wang Baole turned into a small cloud. Rain fell in the space before the crowd, and a gust of cold wind from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Elder's bracelet followed, causing the droplets of rain to turn into ice after falling, landing on the ground.

Seeing everyone at a loss, the Chancellor began to explain wistfully. "The difficulty of this question is not in the selection or engraving of the Inscriptions; what's difficult is the simplification. And the even harder aspects… require Spirit Borrowing. By using the Frost Qi of the bracelet, it perfectly demonstrates the three states of water!"

This scene made everyone gasp, completely struck dumb with amazement. All of them looked at Wang Baole as though he was a god, and Cao Kun seemed even more dumbstruck.

At this moment, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder smiled as he began to leave. When he passed by Wang Baole, he patted his shoulder and smiled at the Chancellor by his side.

"This rascal is your Dharmic Armament faculty's Inscriptions Head Prefect, isn't he? Very good, well done!"

After hearing that, Cao Kun shivered, and his expression became even worse. The Chancellor smiled and said nothing; Goatee and the others had strange expressions. At this instant, Wang Baole—who had recovered from calculating the answer—thought of Cao Kun's previous taunting and showed a humble expression on his face while murmuring to the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder, "Senior, that… I'm not the Inscriptions Head Prefect—he is."

Saying that, Wang Baole purposefully pointed at the crying Cao Kun.

Cao Kun's heart burned with hatred, but he was under the attention of everyone, so he could not show it. Instead, he forced a smile and cupped his fist in greeting. However, he had not even finished paying his respects when the Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder turned away and looked at Wang Baole curiously.

"Then, you must be the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect!"

Lin Tianhao's expression changed drastically. Wang Baole gave a blushing smile, and ignoring the color on Lin Tianhao's face, he raised his finger and pointed straight at him.

"He is the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect. Senior, I'm the Spirit Stones Head Prefect."

The Dharmic Armament Pavilion elder had a strange look on his face when he heard that, apparently finding it quite unbelievable. He shook his head, and after some thought, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Wang Baole.

"This jade slip records part of Materials Study, which comes after Spirit Kernel. You can get familiar with it, feel your way around by yourself." After gifting the jade slip, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion Elder and the Chancellor left together.

Very soon, the Chancellor returned. He gave everyone a few words of encouragement, asked Wang Baole about his studies, then announced that the lecture had ended.

Goatee and the others also started to leave; however, before each of them left, they would stare at Wang Baole. This was especially so for Goatee, who looked at Wang Baole with a large smile. He felt that his initial judgement in specially recruiting Wang Baole was correct.

After encouraging Wang Baole with a few words, he left with the other Dharmic Armament faculty teachers.

After all the teachers left, the other Head Prefects immediately came up to Wang Baole to interact with good intentions. They laughed and talked with each other as they walked down Chancellor Peak, and they only separated after reaching the base.

Only Cao Kun and Lin Tianhao had dark expressions and constantly glared at Wang Baole's back. If looks could kill, Cao Kun would have stabbed Wang Baole millions upon millions of times.

"Cao Kun, you need to work harder when you get back. I'm worried that this fatty might come for your Inscriptions Head Prefect position next!" Lin Tianhao was troubled. He knew that reminders were useless, but he still sighed and reminded Cao Kun.

Cao Kun was stunned. Previously, he had felt something ominous, and now he was even more panicked. His face turned white. He quickly ran back to the cave abode with his eyes red and started studying like crazy.
