A World Worth Protecting Chapter 52: Failed…

In actuality, the main point of Spirit Kernels was to follow different manuals to arrange Spirit Stones with different carved Inscriptions. This relied on stimulating the stored energy in the Spirit Stones, causing these Spirit Stones to fuse and thus create Spirit Kernel Dharmic artifacts.

In a manner of speaking, these kinds of Spirit Kernels were already almost Dharmic artifacts. They only needed the addition of the metal materials stated in the manual, in addition to polishing and smelting, before they could become refined as Dharmic artifacts.

Even without the latter steps—with just Spirit Kernels—one could already release a certain amount of power. However, the power would be much weaker, as it did lacked the augmentation garnered from the forged materials. Furthermore, it would not be as sturdy as the true Dharmic artifacts protected by metal materials.

While carving Inscriptions and refining Spirit Kernels, Wang Baole started to get a sense of the depths of Inscriptions study. Many times, he would have strange thoughts, and he would follow these thoughts and express them through Inscriptions. Although most of them ended in failure, this process also gave Wang Baole joy.

Just like that, another week passed. By the time Wang Baole had almost depleted his supply of Spirit Stones, he had massively improved in his Spirit Kernel study.

However, Wang Baole understood that he was still some way off from becoming Head Prefect. He needed to practice even more, and so, in the remaining days, just as he was getting proficient with the remaining Spirit Kernels, he also took out a large portion of his time to refine Spirit Stones.

And because he was refining Spirit Stones, his body started to accumulate spirit fat. However, due to his prior experience, Wang Baole constantly observed the changes in his own body. As he saw it, as long as he did not stay at home all day like last time, everything would work out.

And spirit fat is good, too. Once it's absorbed, my cultivation level will have a breakthrough. Who knows, maybe this time I can move from Physical Seal and enter Pulse Enrichment!

With this thought, Wang Baole grew smug. His attitude toward spirit fat changed, and he was even anticipating it.

Still, what he most anticipated was becoming Spirit Kernel Head Prefect. Then, he would be the unbeatable ultimate Head Prefect of Ethereal Dao College's Dharmic Armament faculty, the likes of which had not been seen before!

When that happens, we'll see who dares bully me!

When he thought of this, Wang Baole was so excited that he even laughed out loud, especially because he imagined himself as the only decision-maker in the Dharmic Armament faculty College Discipline Department after becoming Spirit Kernel Head Prefect.

The Dao College still wants to use the Dharmic Armament faculty as an experiment. Forget it. When I become the only Head Prefect, I will still have a Head Prefect meeting, except that I will be the only one at the meeting. Wang Baole laughed, becoming more and more pleased with himself. With this wonderful feeling, he began to eat his snacks while refining Spirit Stones and improving his familiarity with Spirit Kernel.

His weight steadily began to increase. As the thickness of the spirit fat on his body began to increase by the day, Wang Baole also started to carve a larger number of Inscriptions onto the refined Spirit Stones. With these Spirit Stones Inscriptions, he created various series of Spirit Kernels.

This was just like a cycle. With his constant effort and refinement, Wang Baole started to have more and more Spirit Kernels. Although he had wasted many during the refinement process, by the time the fourth week came around, Wang Baole already had about a hundred Spirit Kernels in his storage bracelet, and his rate of success also increased rapidly. Now, he had a one in three chance of succeeding.

This kind of success rate and proficiency was unparalleled in the entire Spirit Kernel hall. In reality, even Lin Tianhao could not reach this level. At most, he only had a one in four chance of succeeding.

After all, Lin Tianhao was not as proficient as Cao Kun, much less Wang Baole, in terms of Inscriptions. So even though Wang Baole had gone into seclusion, Lin Tianhao had also done the same during this period, frantically increasing his own proficiency in Spirit Kernels. He even went to the blue wall in the classroom once to improve his own results. However, to Wang Baole, it would only be too easy to best him.

Just like that, when the fifth week arrived, Liu Daobin informed Wang Baole that Zhang Lan and the others were once again locked up. When Liu Daobin tried to resolve the matter, Lin Tianhao blocked him. As such, Wang Baole started to increase the speed of his Spirit Stone refinement.

Over the next two weeks, he refined an increasingly explosive number of Spirit Stones, and thus, his proficiency with Spirit Kernels rapidly increased. Finally, on the last day of the second week, Wang Baole had another breakthrough with his probability of success in refining Spirit Kernels. He had achieved a fifty percent success rate!

I will soon become the Dharmic Armament faculty's unrivaled Head Prefect!

As he laughed, Wang Baole struggled to stand. Filled with excitement and anticipation, he was not too worried about his own figure.

I just have to lose weight after all. It's easy to lose spirit fat. Once I lose it, I can break through and reach the Pulse Enrichment realm!

After frantically losing weight several times, Wang Baole felt that it would be easy to grow skinnier. Feeling smug, he ran crazily around the island with a shake of his body.

Except… after running for two days, Wang Baole became somewhat anxious when he realized that he had not lost weight. He was a little worried, but after thinking it over, he still felt that it would be easy to lose weight.

It's fine, I still have other methods!

With this thought, Wang Baole went to the Lava Chamber. However, after some time, when he left the Lava Chamber under the hidden resentful gazes of the Combat faculty students, he realized that his body was still big. At this point, Wang Baole's breathing grew erratic, and he felt a strong sense that something was amiss.

This… I still have the ultimate method!

With gritted teeth, Wang Baole returned to the cave abode and immediately sent a voice transmission to Xie Haiyang. When Xie Haiyang arrived outside of Wang Baole's cave abode with his head of gelled and shiny short hair, he stared with wide eyes at Wang Baole's body.

"No wonder the entire Combat faculty was complaining. Heavens, Wang Baole, you've grown fat again!"

"Brother Xie, you are the expert in losing weight. Quickly think of a solution for me. I don't care if it's the Death Pill; I just want to lose weight!" As Xie Haiyang was Wang Baole's last hope, he quickly made his request, feeling insecure.

Xie Haiyang furrowed his brows and said severely, "Schoolmate, I need to remind you that I am a businessman, not an expert at losing weight!"

Without saying another word, Wang Baole raised and flipped his right hand. Immediately, a large number of Rainbow Spirit Stones flew out from his storage bracelet, forming a small mountain to the side. The rainbow light caused the inside of the cave abode to light up, colorful and resplendent.

Xie Haiyang looked straight ahead, inhaled, and hit his chest viciously.

"Schoolmate, you were right in looking for me. I, Xie Haiyang, am Ethereal Dao College's preeminent expert at losing weight! Brother, I am the best at losing weight. Don't worry, I will definitely help you become skinny!" Xie Haiyang's breathing was rapid as he immediately opened his mouth.

Hearing Xie Haiyang's guarantee, Wang Baole immediately felt at ease and nodded in satisfaction. Very soon, after briefly going outside, Xie Haiyang returned with many Death Pills for Wang Baole.

"I hoarded many Death Pills after that time. Come, eat as many as you want!" Xie Haiyang waved his hand and generously flung five bottles to Wang Baole before leaving.

In his cave abode, Wang Baole immediately ate about ten Death Pills. As the heat in his body rose, he excitedly sat still and waited for the spirit fat to burn.

But perhaps his spirit fat was too stubborn this time, or maybe his body had gotten used to it. In the end, Wang Baole had only turned sweaty. When he lowered his head to look, his body was still big—clearly, nothing had changed.

He hurriedly ate more. However, even though he ate all the Death Pills, nothing changed. Wang Baole could not help but wail.

"Heavens, why don't they work!"

At this point, Wang Baole could no longer maintain his cool. His breathing was unbearably rapid, and he could almost hear the footsteps of the Fatso Forefathers in his head.

"Xie Haiyang, your Death Pills were fake this time!" Panicked, Wang Baole took out his voice transmission ring and contacted Xie Haiyang again.

After Xie Haiyang received the voice transmission, he rushed to Wang Baole's cave abode. When he entered and saw the unchanged Wang Baole and the empty bottles, he was stunned.

"No effect at all?"

"No effect at all!" Wang Baole cried and looked at Xie Haiyang.

If it had been anyone else, Xie Haiyang definitely would have been suspicious. However, he still trusted Wang Baole, so he scratched his head, his brain working at high speed. Finally, he gritted his teeth!

"Schoolmate, wait three days. I will think of a plan. Don't worry, there is nothing I can't do. This kind of challenging problem, I'll take it on!"
