Chapter 129: The Insane Lin Tianhao

Thinking of his research direction, Wang Baole was uncontrollably excited.

Holding the megaphone, which he had just retrieved, Wang Baole smiled slyly. He turned to the smelting furnace room to further refine the megaphone and adjust the inscriptions, causing the Dharmic Artifact to be even more powerful and changing the direction where the sound waves from it would spread.

As for the materials required, Dharmic Armament Pavilion disciples on the Upper Academy Island could use Spirit Stones to buy more refinement materials. Most of the materials were considered rare items on the Lower Academy Island, but that was due to differences in level. In reality, refinement materials that were really rare were present on the Upper Academy Island but were not possible to purchase with the Spirit Stones. Instead, they could only be exchanged after one completed a certain specified mission.

Soon, Wang Baole concluded his refinement process. He was satisfied as he looked at the thirty or so megaphones that he had refined and excitedly installed them on a wall of the cave abode.

Behind that wall was Lin Tianhao’s cave abode.

After adjusting all of them, Wang Baole dusted his hands and sat down with crossed legs. Satisfied, he took out a bag of snacks and began munching on them.

Next, it’s time for the experiment. Let’s first test the psychological impact of the noise.

As he spoke, Wang Baole swept his right hand, and all the megaphones installed on the walls trembled and were activated. However, no sound emerged from his cave abode at all. Instead, all the noise was directed toward Lin Tianhao as a result of the adjustments that Wang Baole had made.

The noise pierced through the stone wall, erupting directly in Lin Tianhao’s cave abode!

Lin Tianhao was assessing the Spirit Intranet within his cave abode, looking at the discussions smearing Wang Baole. His lips curled into a smile, and he had wanted to send out instructions again using his jade slip. However, suddenly, it was as if waves of thunder had appeared within his cave abode, resulting in shocking, deafening sound waves.

It was like an extremely large number of people made angry, disturbing sounds simultaneously, forming an extremely loud sound wave that violently vibrated his cave abode. Dust even fell as a result of the vibrations of the surrounding walls.

As his cave abode was located at the edge of the entire region, with the other side of it being a cliff edge, the noise was unable to affect other people, despite being extremely loud.

Lin Tianhao was taken aback, and he had not been able to react before his eardrums burst. He instantly turned dizzy and felt as if his world was spinning. His quiet secret chamber was instantly thrown into a world of chaos.

Screaming pitifully, Lin Tianhao’s trembling body immediately stood up. He covered his ears, but the noise was too loud and reverberated continuously within his cave abode. The sound waves erupted, resulting in his breathing growing extremely rapid, almost as if his heart was about to burst apart. He rushed out of the cave abode, almost growing crazy. The hum in his ears was never ending, and he only recovered after a long while. He glared angrily at Wang Baole’s cave abode.

“Wang Baole!” Lin Tianhao had never expected that Wang Baole’s retaliation would be so perverse. Unable to control himself, he began screaming angrily.

His angry roars spread into the ears of Wang Baole, who was munching on his snacks while sitting cross-legged. He took out his jade slip and began recording.

“What a huge reaction. It is likely that the protective mechanisms within his body have been activated. The sudden eruption of sound waves challenges the limits of human behavior. It’s not useful for influencing one’s psychological state… I must record this result.”

Wang Baole recorded the results of his experiment with a look of seriousness on his face. He adjusted the megaphone, and seeing that he would not be able to obtain experimental results in a short time, he began researching on the Cloud Ethereal technique.

Lin Tianhao, who was standing outside the cave abode, was jumping with anger. His eyes were blood red, and he stood there, howling, for a long while. Even though Wang Baole refused to come out, the disturbing sound had grown much softer. Lin Tianhao gritted his teeth and returned to his cave abode once again. However, he had belittled Wang Baole’s psychological test. The noise had decreased in volume but then suddenly grew louder again, becoming more shocking than ever.

The loud boom was unbearable for Lin Tianhao. He immediately ran out of the cave abode, his anger and insanity pushed to the extreme. He began attacking Wang Baole’s cave abode but was unable to overcome the array formation. After a long while, Lin Tianhao was pushed to the limits and was going insane. After breathing rapidly a few times, he clenched his teeth.

“Wang Baole, you want to drive me away? Impossible!”

Lin Tianhao’s eyes revealed a cold look. He knew that it would be useless to approach the Pavilion Head regarding the matter since Wang Baole did not assault him. Furthermore, the Pavilion Head would not bother himself with insignificant matters like that. Therefore, he gritted his teeth before turning to leave. When he returned at night, he activated the many protective Dharmic Artifacts that he had brought, forming a dense protective shield to block out the crazy noise.

However, the noise came and went. Sometimes, it was completely silent, while other times, it would suddenly erupt. Even if Lin Tianhao could shield against it by activating the protection artifacts, activating them wasted a lot of his spirit energy. Therefore, after a few occasions, seeing that it has quieted down, he turned off the protective shield, only to have the noise suddenly erupting again, frightening him and putting him in a trembling state as his blood rushed, as if trying to burst both his brain and his heart.

After a few consecutive incidents, Lin Tianhao still could not figure out the pattern. He shouted angrily toward the sky. He felt that even if he was a True Breath cultivator, his heart could not withstand attacks like these. He was indignant, and even though he did not move out of the cave abode, he was unable to stay in the same place and had to seek temporary refuge elsewhere.

Seeing how his test subject had left, Wang Baole was a little disappointed. After a few sighs, he shifted his attention from Lin Tianhao. Everything on his mind was revolving around practicing the Cloud Ethereal technique and becoming a Armament Disciple in the shortest time. He had already thoroughly researched the methods to become an Armament Disciple on the Spirit Intranet.

If I want to be promoted to the Armament Disciple, I must perfectly refine a hundred first-grade Dharmic Artifacts!

A flash appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He knew that a first-grade Dharmic Artifact was defined differently on the Upper and Lower Academy Islands.

Dharmic Artifacts on the Lower Academy Island were stagnated at the Spirit Kernel stage due to the teachings of knowledge. There were no complete teaching materials regarding the refinement materials and the refinement process, resulting in the products that the students produced being of quasi-first-grade Dharmic Artifacts.

On the other hand, the standards set by Upper Academy Island were that the first-grade Dharmic Artifacts were perfectly refined using superior-quality refinement materials and refinement tools. This made the Dharmic Artifacts a lot more challenging to make, and at the same time, the Dharmic Artifacts made were not to be chosen freely by the disciples. Rather, it had to be one of the first-grade Dharmic Artifacts listed by the Dharmic Armament Pavilion in order to meet the requirements.

Picking from the approved list, one could be promoted if one managed to refine a hundred different Dharmic Artifacts!

This task was extremely challenging and difficult to fulfill within a short time, especially for those who had just managed pass the assessment to enter Upper Academy Island. There were also many who were unable to accomplish it even after several years.

However, even though it was also challenging to Wang Baole, it was not a major issue. After all, when he was on the Lower Academy Island, Wang Baole had long been exposed to the refinement materials and the refinement process, and he had successfully made some first-grade Dharmic Artifacts. He could even made artifacts a grade higher, just that they were not perfect.

He was confident that it would not take long for him to refine perfect, first-grade Dharmic Artifacts after learning systematically.

It is definitely a challenge to become an Armament Disciple, but how did Lin Tianhao do it?

After understanding the method to become an Armament Disciple, this question floated in Wang Baole’s mind. However, he quickly recalled Lin Tianhao’s background. He thought briefly and vaguely understood the reason.

It seems like I need to find an influential character who will speak up for me quickly. If not, if I only work hard and train, I will definitely be disadvantaged in the future.

Wang Baole scratched his head as he thought. His target was the elder who gave him the jade slip on the Chancellor’s peak, someone whom he deeply respected.

Right now, the significance of the elder in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion seemed even greater.

Someone who is superior to the Pavilion Head?

Wang Baole thought about it briefly before collecting his thoughts. He understood that the basis for everything to work would be that he made it as an Armament Disciple at the very least.

First, refine some Dharmic Artifacts, and rise to the rank of an Armament Disciple!

As he trained in the Cloud Ethereal techniques, he also began to work hard in researching the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation. He even bought materials in his attempt to refine the perfect, first-grade Dharmic Artifact.

As the days went by, Wang Baole’s life became stable and peaceful. Other than practicing and refining, he spent his time watching lessons on the Spirit Intranet. Occasionally, he would head outside for classes, and everything seemed to return to normal.

His neighbor, Lin Tianhao, did not return, so even though it appeared that Wang Baole only had a single cave abode, he could practice and refine Spirit Stones in record time as the two cave abodes shared a spirit pool. Wang Baole was comfortable, but he began to miss Lin Tianhao.

What a perfect test subject… It’s such a pity that he left just like that. There are still many experiments that have not been carried out. My research on psychological Dharmic Artifacts has been forced to stop.

Wang Baole felt like it was a wasted opportunity, but that thought did not linger for long. After half a month, Lin Tianhao returned…

The moment he returned to the cave abode, he retrieved numerous megaphones that he had gotten others to make within the time period that he was away. He installed them on the walls and turned them on to produce noise in order to retaliate directly against Wang Baole.

At the same time, he was also prepared, activating specially created protective measures. After blocking out the noise, Lin Tianhao sat down with crossed legs and laughed coldly.

“Want to force me to move away? Impossible!”

Noticing that Lin Tianhao had returned, Wang Baole was surprised. He had long prepared for the day that Lin Tianhao would copy his tactics and was able to resolve it easily. He also feared that he would run again, so he immediately carried out his next experiment. He swept his sleeve and bellowed with a deep voice, “Zhu Gangqiang!”

With a loud boom, a figure instantly flew out from Wang Baole’s storage bracelet. As it fell to the ground with a bang, the figure raised its head and let out a low growl.
