Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Baole’s voice reverberated throughout the entire Public Square, making all the students there extremely surprised. That was especially so after hearing that Wang Baole was imparting such a peerless skill, which made them even more excited.

What surprised them most was the name of that peerless skill, ‘Baole Heaven Devouring Skill…’

The name made many people widen their eyes. They were confused, and some of them even began talking in a hushed manner.

“This… This name is a little weird…”

“Maybe this cultivation technique is known as the Heaven Devouring Skill! The term ‘Baole’ could be added by Dean Wang Baole himself?”

“It sounds a little dumb…”

As the students discussed amongst themselves, Jin Duozhi from the Trilunaris Corporation, as well as the students who had been through the incident at the Battle-axe Hotel, all turned their heads and looked angrily at the students who were engaged in the discussion.

“Shut up, none of you have a clue about how impressive that skill is!”

“Our dear dean is so selfless in imparting his secret skill, and yet all of you still gossip behind his back? Just listening to its name, this Baole Heaven Devouring Skill already sounds formidable, several times more impressive than what has been passed down in my family!”

These people stared angrily at the crowd, with Jin Duozhi fuming with rage and his voice the loudest amongst them.

“What’s wrong in naming the cultivation technique after himself, since he rightly created it? This is extremely logical and reasonable, and at the same time shows how confident the dean is in his skill!

“Furthermore, the term ‘Heaven Devouring’ implies that the dean is extremely formidable, and is a highly regarded individual. This is to encourage us to learn earnestly and practice diligently. He also wants to tell us that cultivators of our generation shouldn’t see the sky as the limit. One day, we will be able to break that boundary and make a name for ourselves through devouring the heavens!”

“It gives us hope, and at the same time, he willingly sacrificed himself so that we could succeed. The simple name of the cultivation technique represents the hopes that the dean has for us, his fearlessness towards the Heavenly Dao, as well as his wish for us to step into the Great Dao in order to fulfill our dreams. Why don’t any of you understand his efforts?” Jin Duozhi sounded extremely pained as if he had managed to understand something so profound and precious which the others disregarded. As he spoke, the students around him all felt a torrent of emotions. When they looked towards Wang Baole, their eyes carried a look of excitement and agitation.

Jin Duozhi’s explanation pumped up the spirits of those young students. Images of themselves stepping onto the clouds and devouring the heavens and earth appeared in their minds.

Soon, even those who initially questioned Wang Baole or were confused repented, and they were also filled with excitement. They all looked at Wang Baole with passion as they waited for him to impart his knowledge.

Jin Duozhi pumped up his chest proudly, bowing deeply at Wang Baole with cupped fists. When he raised his head, he announced loudly.

“Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dean!”

When he spoke, the students around him followed suit immediately. Instantly, voices spread in all directions and formed quite an astonishing sight.

Even Wang Baole was surprised. He had come up with the name without much thought and had never thought that it would be interpreted that way by Jin Duozhi.

Wang Baole wasn’t the only one dumbfounded. Lin Tianhao, who was standing beside him, subconsciously made the decision to distance himself from Wang Baole after hearing the name of the cultivation technique. The teachers standing around were also confused initially, but now, after hearing Jin Duozhi’s explanation, many of them hesitated. Jin Duozhi’s explanation had somehow… made sense.

Wang Baole blinked his eyes and looked at Jin Duozhi, touched. He thought about what a talent he was, before clearing his throat and waving his hand.

“Since all of you have understood where I’m coming from, you should practice hard in the days to come. Four hundred of you will be eliminated, and the hundred of you that remain can be considered my disciples in the Federation in the future!” Wang Baole spoke proudly, and as his voice reverberated, the five hundred students grew even more agitated.

A passionate fire was burning in the eyes of the majority of students, though not everyone. Basking in the emotional atmosphere, Wang Baole was satisfied. When the area had been cordoned off completely, and when Lin Tianhao and company had left, Wang Baole began to impart the Heaven Devouring Skill to the students.

Even though the Heaven Devouring Skill, being a simplified version of the Great Void Qi Devouring Art, wouldn’t lead to the formation of a devouring seed, it was still impressive in terms of suction force. That was especially so as it was easy to master without any significant difficulties.

This made the five hundred students all focus hard in order to remember the skill. They then began practicing. The effect of the Heaven Devouring Skill was astonishing, far exceeding that of the Qi Fostering Art. Anyone who managed to master it would immediately sense that the suction force that emerged from their bodies made the surrounding Spirit Qi charge towards them at several times the original speed.

“Gosh! This Baole Heaven Devouring Skill is so amazing!”

“It is so fast… At least five times that of what I was at previously!”

“Jin Duozhi was right! This is the reason why the dean could make a name for himself and become so formidable! This cultivation technique is… unbeatable!”

After experiencing the prowess of the skill, the students were all agitated. There were tens of them who were already of excellent caliber. After practicing the skill, they felt the effects even more significantly. Even their Blood Qi became more concentrated. Instantly, this encouraged others to speed up in their practice, excited at receiving a precious skill.

Just like that, several days passed.

Each of the five hundred students managed to master the Heaven Devouring Skill. After experiencing its astonishing effects personally, a never-before-seen wave of agitation emerged from them.

On one hand, they were competing against each other, while on the other, the effectiveness of the Heaven Devouring Skill gave them a sense of indescribable thrill as they continued practicing. Therefore, every single one of them was determined and practiced diligently.

This was a behavior rarely seen from people like them. After all, they were from rich families and were all lazy to a certain extent. When they had the opportunity to relax, they would never think about practicing.

However, right now, there were several different factors, all acting together to culminate into a sense of motivation and drive. After making a comparison, their progress was shocking. Not only were the teachers from Dao Mountain Mist Academy surprised, but even the students’ parents noticed the growth of their children and were impressed.

Some parents who were worried even checked out the cultivation technique themselves. Even though their children didn’t tell them about it, they still managed to ask and gain an answer somehow. After researching it on their own, they found that there was no harm in the cultivation technique at all. Practicing it would raise the speed in which one levels up in their cultivation. They immediately approved their children to practice the skill, and their curiosity and gratitude towards Wang Baole grew.

“It must be a top cultivation technique that Wang Baole came up with based on his own life experiences…”

“Everyone tries to keep a skill a secret after they have mastered it, but Wang Baole actually imparted it to my child…”

“I definitely owe him one! This cultivation technique is well suited for Ancient Martial realm cultivators. However, since it was personally taught by Wang Baole, we shouldn’t leak it out. Otherwise, it would be too unjust and unreasonable.”

The parents of the students all reached a consensus. They also gained an understanding of the sparring match that was to take place three months later. With their encouragement, their children grew even more passionate and became even more diligent in their practice.

At the same time, Wang Baole gave each student a list of resources to be brought to their parents. After looking and thinking it through, since the resources would be used on their children, the parents all willingly donated them to the college.

Just like that, half a month passed by at a hurried pace. The students were all astonishingly determined, and their Blood Qi became more concentrated as the days passed. However, there was an unavoidable side effect of the Heaven Devouring Skill, which eventually became more apparent.

That was… obesity!

In this half a month, as the five hundred students maniacally practiced, the Spirit Qi that they had absorbed was turned into spirit fat. It was obvious that, regardless of whether they were male or female, their weight was increasing by the day, and they were all slowly turning into fatties…

Half a month ago, all of them were slim and slender. However, right now, the five hundred individuals on the Public Square had turned into five hundred fatties. They were all rotund and looked very adorable. At the same time, the Blood Qi in their bodies was at least twice as strong as half a month ago.

Some talented performers like Jin Duozhi, who was Wang Baole’s firm believer, had grown so fat that he had become even more obese than Wang Baole. The boost in his cultivation was also the most astonishing, boosted close to the limits of the Blood Qi realm and stepping into the Physical Seal realm, as the Blood Qi grew to six times that of the original.

Even so, the weight gain and the fact that they had become fatties made some students shocked. That was especially so for the female students, who were dumbfounded. They cared a lot about their appearances and were considering dropping out.

It was not just them, but also Lin Tianhao, the college teachers, and even the students’ parents, who were delighted yet upset at the same time. The five hundred students looked so much like mini-Wang Baoles…

Wang Baole had long anticipated that this would happen. After noticing that his students had all become fatties, he initiated a meeting on the Public Square, where he munched on his snacks while speaking to everyone.

“There is nothing to fear. Relax, everyone, as everything has been considered in my plan. The weight gain is only the first step in the foundation. Thereafter, I will lead all of you in losing weight, while further boosting your cultivation!

“This is because I will impart all of you with a skill that is even more valuable than the Heaven Devouring Skill. That is… The Weight Loss Cultivation Art!”
