A World Worth Protecting Chapter 301 - What Do I Have to Fear!

The eyes of the Fire Spirit Academy dean turned red. He used his full strength to repel the blow, but he still couldn’t withstand the full force of w.a.n.g Baole’s attack. With the fall of the blade, a thunderous explosion resounded in the air.

The resultant force of the attack surged outward in waves. The students crowded outside the hotel reeled back in shock, and many spat blood out from their mouths. Everyone started to step back hastily. Even the teachers from the Fire Spirit Academy shuddered violently as they threw up mouthfuls of blood. Like kites cut from their strings, they stumbled and staggered backwards.

The dean of the Fire Spirit Academy had blood spilling from his lips as well. The hair stuck to his scalp disintegrated and turned to dust. His body trembled violently. The flat side of the saber’s blade smacked firmly on his chest. He curled in and was flung out across the street, landing right in his school campus.

w.a.n.g Baole had shown him mercy. At the last moment, he had twisted his blade such that the blunt and flat surface hit the dean. Else, the dean of the Fire Spirit Academy would have been beheaded with that single sweep of his blade!

In the Mystic Luna Realm, w.a.n.g Baole wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this attack. He had only reached the Foundation Establishment realm and hadn’t known any Foundation Establishment realm grade mystic techniques. Since he had returned to Earth though, he had begun practicing the Lightning Dao: First Volume. It might appear that he had only mastered the first tier and acquired a lightning tattoo on his right leg, but that wasn’t true. Practicing the mystic technique also helped to refine his Spirit Qi. It had become more distilled, growing purer and stronger.

During this period, his physique was also being nourished and maintained at peak condition. His meld with the green lotus had allowed his physical body to flourish and strengthen like never before. As a result, he was able to display a fighting prowess that surpa.s.sed his performance in the Mystic Luna Realm!

After having sent the dean flying with a single smack from his saber, and instilling shock and awe in the other teachers, w.a.n.g Baole turned around suddenly. His breathing was slightly uneven as he stared at Li Wuchen.

Li Wuchen’s face was deathly pale. His eyes revealed his disbelief and incredulity. He had known all along that w.a.n.g Baole was very strong, but he never expected him to be that powerful. He never expected w.a.n.g Baole to be such a freak of nature.

“w.a.n.g Baole, I dare you not to use your Dharmic Armaments! Do you have the guts to do that?” Li Wuchen shouted as he retreated hastily. He was unwilling to admit defeat.

“If you hit my students, then I’ll come after you with my Dharmic Armaments!” w.a.n.g Baole glared and retorted immediately. He dashed out, and with a sudden burst of speed, he caught up immediately. He raised his saber and sent it slas.h.i.+ng!

“I didn’t…” Li Wuchen froze when he heard w.a.n.g Baole’s words. He was about to explain himself when his pupils contracted suddenly, and he hurriedly blocked the attack. His eyes were focused on the blade above him descending on his head, so he didn’t see the flicker in w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes and the lightning-fast kick from his right leg.

His reflexes quickly caught up. As alarm flashed across his face, he lowered his left hand to block the kick. There was a loud sound of a collision. The bone in his left hand fractured instantly, and the sharp pain sent cold sweat dripping from his forehead. At least he’d managed to block the sudden kick from w.a.n.g Baole.

“You’ve got quite a strong physical body!” w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes flashed. He hadn’t used his full strength. They had been from the same college, after all, and weren’t archenemies or anything like that. This was simply a petty dispute, and he only intended to teach the other a lesson. Seeing how his kick had been intercepted, w.a.n.g Baole snorted. The lightning resting within his right leg erupted.

A lightning bolt snaked out unexpectedly from w.a.n.g Baole’s right leg with a thundering roar and slipped around Li Wuchen’s injured left hand. Li Wuchen watched in shock and horror as it landed a direct hit on his crotch!

An agonizing scream rang out as Li Wuchen’s body was flung outwards like a limp ragdoll. Compared to w.a.n.g Baole, who had survived countless life and death battles and grown stronger for it, Li Wuchen was clearly lacking in cultivation, fighting capabilities, and experience.

Li Wuchen might have been able to hold his own against w.a.n.g Baole when they had both been at the True Breath realm. Now though, they were clearly no longer in the same league.

The surrounding students, having witnessed the scene before them, were all stunned speechless. The students from the Fire Spirit Academy started trembling. When they looked at w.a.n.g Baole, it was with fear in their eyes.

Especially the few who had spoken brashly earlier, they were terrified. They felt an inexplicable sharp pain between their legs… w.a.n.g Baole’s earlier slash of his saber that had driven the dean off hadn’t made as deep an impression on the students. They had found him fearsome and almost invincible, but they had remained quite unaffected by the attack.

However… his subsequent kick to the crotch that had been followed with a lightning bolt attack sent every single student from the Fire Spirit Academy reeling in alarm. They felt a sudden chill come over them.

“He actually kicked him in the crotch! That kick would have smashed everything between the legs!”

“That was such a low blow! It wasn’t enough to just kick him. He followed up with a lightning strike. Anything left unsmashed would have been toasted!”

“This Dean w.a.n.g from the Dao Mountain Mist Academy must have an intense dislike of people’s crotches. Does he have some secret disease or something?”

As the pale-faced Fire Spirit Academy students retreated hastily, the students from the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, including Jin Duozhi, experienced a sudden surge of emotions. They looked at w.a.n.g Baole, with bruised faces and swollen eyes, in a completely different light.

They had thought him an ordinary member of the school’s upper management, but when they looked at w.a.n.g Baole now, it was with eyes filled with adoration and respect.

They were overwhelmed with excitement. They were overcome by an inexplicable feeling of w.a.n.g Baole standing up for them. Even though Li Wuchen wasn’t the person who had beat them up—the students from the Fire Spirit Academy were the ones who had done that—they knew Dean w.a.n.g couldn’t possibly have known that. Under such circ.u.mstances, he had stood up for them and kicked the a.s.ses of the other academy’s teachers and deans. They couldn’t be more moved.

Especially having witnessed how powerful w.a.n.g Baole was. He had sent the dean flying with a sweep of his saber, kicked the vice dean, and sent the remaining seven to eight teachers flying as well.

Everything sent their young hearts beating rapidly, and they began to feel a sense of respect for w.a.n.g Baole.

w.a.n.g Baole noticed the expressions on Jin Duozhi and his students’ faces. He blinked, then immediately puffed his chest out. Raising his saber and pointing it at Li Wuchen, he said calmly.

“That’s what you get for hitting my students!”

“Remember, only I get to bully my students. No one else gets to do that!” w.a.n.g Baole said proudly. In the distance, Li Wuchen started cursing in his heart. He clearly had some means of protecting himself. After receiving the lightning-powered kick from w.a.n.g Baole, and spitting blood out from his mouth, his body became enveloped in a dazzling purple light. The speed of his recovery was superhuman, and he managed to struggle to his feet.

w.a.n.g Baole’s words made him realize the former hadn’t changed his shameless ways. He hadn’t laid a single hand on the students. Furious, he opened his mouth and was about to protest.

As soon as he opened his mouth, and before he had a chance to say a single word, w.a.n.g Baole sneered.

“You’re absolutely right. I, w.a.n.g Baole, am biased towards my own students!”

“I didn’t…” Li Wuchen was at a loss for words. He didn’t mention anything about w.a.n.g Baole’s bias. He didn’t even get to say anything in the first place…

“I know you have a sister. This has nothing to do with what happened today. Li Xiu has already told me he wants to introduce his elder sister to me. I have no interest in your sister. Today, I’m going to make one thing clear to everyone. As long as it’s my student, as long as he or she calls me dean, accords me full respect, and obeys me, I’ll never allow anyone to bully them!”

“Not you, Li Wuchen, not your teachers from the Fire Spirit Academy, not your dean. Not even the Federation President himself!” w.a.n.g Baole proclaimed arrogantly. He was quietly pleased. When had he ever lost at bragging?

As soon as he said those words, the Dao Mountain Mist Academy students were all overcome with emotions. They trembled with excitement and agitation, moved beyond words. They were still too young. They saw how w.a.n.g Baole had stood up for them and how strong he had been in battle, and they heard the rousing speech he had made, and their eyes turned teary.

“Dean!”

“From now on, Dean, we’ll listen to everything you say. Anything you want us to do, we’ll get it done!”

“All hail our mighty dean!”

“Dean, are you looking for a G.o.dson? From now on, I, Jin Duozhi, will treat you as my G.o.dfather!”

Li Wuchen, the Fire Spirit Academy dean who had rushed back limping, and the other teachers, stared in shock at the agitated proclamations coming from the students. They looked at their own students and saw a considerable number staring at w.a.n.g Baole with respect and adoration in their eyes. These students were looking at Jin Duozhi and the other Dao Mountain Mist Academy students with envy. This caused alarm bells to sound loudly in their heads. The situation wasn’t looking good!

Li Wuchen was equally alarmed and shouted hurriedly.

“w.a.n.g Baole, even though we’re both cultivators, we are also vice deans of our respective academies. What good does a personal victory do? Do you dare to hold a tournament three months later on Martian Day and let our students fight it out then? Let’s have a proper friendly exchange! Let’s see whose students are the strongest! The loser will become the grandson. He’ll have to bow whenever he sees the winner and address the winner as his granddad!”

w.a.n.g Baole raised his eyebrow. What Li Wuchen had just said was simply too well put. He narrowed his eyes, waved his saber aside, and said coolly.

“Sure, what do I have to fear?” A breeze stirred his hair. The warm glow of the setting sun lit w.a.n.g Baole’s profile. It made him look slightly slimmer than usual and created an indescribable aura around him.

At that moment, in the crowd, a few female students from both the Fire Spirit Academy and the Dao Mountain Mist Academy stared at w.a.n.g Baole with even greater adoration. Someone even whispered softly.

“Dean w.a.n.g… is so cool!”
