A World Worth Protecting Chapter 85: Intense Match!

At almost the same moment that Zhao Yameng made her move, the Spirit Qi array formation surrounding Wang Baole immediately began to waver. As the array formation moved, the five weak spots that Wang Baole initially identified started to become blurry and slowly disappeared.

As the array formation spun, the Spirit Qi was being carried along, creating a suppressive force in all corners. The suppressive force grew increasingly stronger as it spun around, directly arriving in waves toward Wang Baole.

Wang Baole frowned as he raised his right hand and flung his sleeve, instantly retrieving a jade pendant. Spirit forces blended into the jade pendant, causing it to give off a purplish glow that morphed into a small purple dragon. As the dragon made a silent growl, the suppressive force lingering in all corners began to be suppressed.

Since it's a challenge to break out of this from within… I shall use its own force against it! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, and a Rainbow Spirit Stone appeared immediately when he raised his right hand.

With his head lowered, he ignored the suppressive force spreading from the array formation and began writing inscriptions on the Spirit Stone. His actions bewildered the spectators, and they all gawked in surprise.

"Wang Baole is… carving inscriptions?"

"What does this mean? Could it be that he intends to make Dharmic artifacts? The most he can create should be Spirit Kernels. Can Spirit Kernels break the array formation?"

As the students discussed back and forth, the Chancellor and the other faculty members were impressed. Goatee was especially glad, his eyes brightening up and his mouth curling into a smile. The Dean from the Array Formation faculty, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows with concern.

Noticing the scene before her eyes, Zhao Yameng immediately reacted, her hands waving as she deployed more array formations. That was her third move, but at that instant, very suddenly, Wang Baole, who was trapped within the array formation, abruptly raised his head. The Rainbow Spirit Stone in his hands was now covered in a large number of inscriptions. In a short time, he had already carved over three thousand inscriptions.

Those inscriptions had not been randomly carved. Every single one of them was related to the gathering of Spirit Qi. More accurately, it could be considered a simple Spirit Kernel made by Wang Baole.

This Spirit Kernel could not really create any Dharmic artifacts. Its only use was to gather all the Spirit Qi in the surroundings. Furthermore, since there were over three thousand inscriptions overlapping with each other, the accumulation of Spirit Qi had reached the maximum, and the Spirit Kernel would implode after just one use.

However, to Wang Baole, once was sufficient!

"Activate!" Wang Baole roared in his low voice. Without a hint of hesitation, he pressed the Spirit Stone in his hand directly on the floor. Regardless of the consequences, even if the stone broke apart, he wanted to drive it to release all its suppressed Spirit Qi, using the agitation inscriptions on the stone to spread the Spirit Qi as far as possible!

Momentarily, a glaring rainbow-colored beam emerged from the Spirit Stone. The inscriptions on the stone were also glowing, transforming into an intense suction force that emanated in all directions with a loud boom, directly passing through the array formation and into the outside world.

Immediately, the entire arena seemed to have transformed into a gigantic vortex, absorbing all the Spirit Qi surrounding the Combat faculty peak!

Accompanying the vortex were tremendous tremors. Spirit Qi from all directions was rushing in turbulently, directly into the vortex created on the arena. Even though Wang Baole was within the vortex, there was also the Spirit Qi array formation present!

The array formation surrounding Wang Baole was, to a certain degree, a protective shield blocking the force of the roiling Spirit Qi. It was like the fragile breakwater taking the impact of the crashing waves. No matter how strong and sturdy it was, it could not withstand the powerful waves.

It was only then that the spectators understood what was going on, and they gasped in response.

"Wang Baole has managed to break out!"

"His method of breaking free was actually to create an inscription-filled Spirit Kernel that could gather all the Spirit Qi so as to harness its energy to blow the array formation apart!

"How ingenious! How did he think of that?"

The Chancellor was also impressed, and his praise for Wang Baole revealed itself in his eyes. Goatee laughed heartily while the Dean of the Array Formation faculty had a nasty expression.

In reality, Wang Baole had managed to think of this solution precisely because of his devouring seed. If he did not want to reveal the absorption abilities of his devouring seed, he would not have needed to go through such trouble in order to handle the array formation.

This series of changes appeared slow, but in reality, the total time it took from the moment Wang Baole pressed the Spirit Stone to the instant the Spirit Qi exploded like crashing waves was incredibly short. The facial expression of Zhao Yameng, who was standing on the arena, changed completely. It was too late for her to prevent it and reverse the situation. Her breathing was rapid, and she stepped backward.

The moment that she backed up, a rapturous roar immediately erupted. The Spirit Qi in the surroundings, akin to the turbulent ocean, destroyed the resistance created by the array formation with the intense force it carried. As the array formation surrounding Wang Baole broke down layer by layer, it could no longer withstand the force and was instantly destroyed!

At that very moment, Wang Baole emerged!

Behind him, as the Spirit Qi was no longer suppressed, it was directly absorbed into the Rainbow Spirit Stone. The Spirit Stone had a strong absorptive force, but it could not withstand the forces for too long. After all, it only had an absorption function. Thus, it eventually imploded!

With a loud boom, the ground of the arena cracked into a million pieces. Wang Baole activated all his defenses around him, and riding on the driving force emerging from the Rainbow Spirit Stone, his speed doubled. Like a streak of lightning, he rapidly approached Zhao Yameng and threw a powerful punch at her with his right fist.

This speed of this retaliation, coupled with the impact of the breaking array formation, significantly exceeded what the students thought was possible!

Zhao Yameng was immensely shocked. As her body flew backward, she began forming seals with her hand. Instantly, layers of array formation appeared in front of her, blocking Wang Baole's punch.

Bang!

Zhao Yameng turned pale. With the array formation blocking the forces, she moved back immediately, successfully avoiding the surprise punch thrown by Wang Baole after he broke free. However, Wang Baole had rich experience in combat. The moment Zhao Yameng ducked, the small purple dragon beside him roared, charging toward Zhao Yameng.

At the same time, Wang Baole's storage bracelet flashed and dozens of flying swords emerged, shooting straight for Zhao Yameng.

The flying swords were fast and especially sharp, breaking through the air and generating sharp sounds as they flew!

Zhao Yameng's breathing was rapid. She did not care much about the flying swords. However, the appearance of the small purple dragon made her feel threatened. Immediately, she extended her interlocked hands, drawing in the surrounding Spirit Qi and gathering them. The Spirit Qi morphed into an invisible, gigantic hand that slammed right at the small purple dragon.

As the noise reverberated, the small purple dragon dissipated, together with the flying swords!

However, at that instant, Wang Baole's eyes shimmered. He raised his right hand and pointed at the flying swords that had been sent scattering in all directions. The swords immediately trembled, as if they were once again under Wang Baole's control. They stopped in their trajectories before turning right around and flying directly toward Zhao Yameng!

All this made Zhao Yameng freeze in shock, and her expression dropped. The spectators—including the teachers, Deans, and the Chancellor—were all captivated in surprise and gasped in silence.

"Sword Kinesis! He's actually controlling them by Sword Kinesis!"

"How could that be possible? In the Ancient Martial realm, the most that can be accomplished is the control of a single flying sword. It is definitely impossible to control dozens of swords!"

As the spectators reeled in shock, Zhao Yameng experienced a strong threat of possible death. She had made a bad call. The flying swords, which she had thought were of little harm, turned out to be the biggest crisis. The fact that Wang Baole could so deftly control the flying swords was out of her expectations.

Even when an expert in the Ancient Martial realm controlled a single flying sword, they could not flexibly influence its direction. In the case of dozens of swords, the most that could usually be accomplished was sending them flying in a straight line after agitating them.

At this critical juncture, the Chancellor and other prominent figures stepped forward, attempting to stop the battle. However, at that moment, a blue glow appeared in Zhao Yameng's two eyes like a gem. An eerie vibe spread from within, causing Wang Baole to be taken by shock.

In that instant, the invisible Spirit Qi wafting around became extremely turbulent. With Zhao Yameng as the focal point, it became a hurricane rising toward the sky. As the flying swords were sent flying in all directions once again, Zhao Yameng emerged. With the augmentation of the hurricane, she approached Wang Baole at top speed.

Using her hand seals, the Spirit Qi hurricane transformed into several array formations again in an imposing manner.

Wang Baole's breathing froze. Regardless of whether it was the hurricane or the array formation, the surrounding students were unable to see them. Even if they felt it, it was not distinct. However, to Wang Baole, it was as clear as glass. Even though he could not visually see it, based on his sensitivity toward Spirit Qi, he had already visualized the exact scene in his mind.

In that mental image, Zhao Yameng's Spirit Qi hurricane was rampaging. A huge number of array formations were forming, charging toward him as Zhao Yameng approached.

The blue glow reflecting off Zhao Yameng's eyes was immensely frightening, as if she had lost her sense of self, giving off a scary vibe that far exceeded what she had previously given off.

In this urgent crisis, Wang Baole gave off a sharp air of determination. Originally, he had not intended to use the devouring seed for uses other than life-and-death battles, but this time, it seemed necessary!

Just as Wang Baole prepared to make his move, the Chancellor appeared, raising his right hand and pressing hard to summon a suppressive force far stronger than what Zhao Yameng had created. It directly fixed Zhao Yameng and Wang Baole in their positions!

"Alright, that's the end of this match."

At this moment, the Dean of the Array Formation faculty and Goatee approached quickly. They each held onto the Head Prefect from their faculty, pulling them apart.

As they moved backward, the Chancellor raised his right hand again to retract the suppressive force. The blue glow in Zhao Yameng's eyes disappeared, and she immediately fell unconscious.

Wang Baole broke out in cold sweat as well. He felt intense fear, looking at the blue glow from Zhao Yameng's eyes. Even the Spirit Qi within his body became unstable. Thankfully, the slight movements of the devouring seed suppressed the Spirit Qi, causing it to calm down.

"Zhao Yameng used a mystic art that was uncontrollable and lost herself in the process. That mystic art shouldn't be executed unless it is a life-or-death situation. As the Chancellor, I judge that Wang Baole wins this match!"

The Chancellor turned to look at Wang Baole, his eyes revealing a look of incredulity. He had guessed the secret behind the flying swords, concluding that it might have been the force of magnetism. Even if that was the case, he still felt that Wang Baole had outdone himself again and again at surprising him.
