On Wang Baole’s side, it was no longer a pitiful scene comprised of a man and a donkey. Instead, as the thousands of construction puppets busied themselves, the area was heated up. There were no longer weeds on the ground, having been replaced with a large trench that was dug neatly in the ground. A copper wall made from bits and pieces of fragments formed the fence!

The scale of the transformation, when compared to the original state, was not mind-blowingly large, but was still shocking. The live stream viewers from the Federation all looked surprised, and some of them, having understood Wang Baole’s intention and plans, began to praise him!

“I understand now! Wang Baole is planning to use others to his advantage!”

“He has nothing. Compared to the other candidates, he had no competitive edge. I see now... this fella’s plan was to obtain other people’s resources from the start...”

Liu Daobin from Ethereal Dao College, as well as the others, including the Sect Lord, were all surprised. That was especially so for the Sect Lord of Ethereal Dao College, whose eyes lit up instantly. He previously thought that the act of Wang Baole playing dead and his use of the megaphones were a nuisance, but right now, he understood Wang Baole’s intention.

It’s hard on him. After all, Li Yi is the one that the four Dao Colleges are supporting this time. The Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord felt a little guilty as he sighed. Even though he had high hopes for Wang Baole, he knew that it would still be difficult for him to win if that was all he had.

Unless there is something special about the city he wants to construct... As the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord sank deep in thought, there were many people on Mars who were watching everything unfold with shock. The Martian Colony Governor curled her lips into a slight smile, while the giant tree furrowed its brows without saying much.

On the other hand, the Mars military was annoyed yet amused. If it was someone else and not Wang Baole behaving this way, they would have sternly reacted. However, in Wang Baole’s case, he had just come to assemble the Baole Cannons for them not long ago, passing on all his knowledge without withholding anything. That made the Mars military indebted, and they gave in to him.

For Zhuo Yixian, regardless of whether it was him or the other family clans, they were unable to stop whatever was happening, even though they gritted their teeth in annoyance. They could only watch as the puppets emptied their territory right in front of them...

At the same time, Wang Baole, who had received a large amount of resources, was both excited and delighted. He controlled the thousands of puppets and began constructing his own base!

Even though he was late to the game and was short-handed, his advantage lay in that he had already ruminated over the design of his Eternal Fortress for over a year. He had pondered over and perfected everything, be it the internal structure of the base, the combination of inscriptions, and every other detail.

It could be said that he had already built the stronghold in his mind and knew the ins-and-outs extremely clearly. What he lacked were the resources. The other candidates were clearly less confident than Wang Baole.

Therefore, right now, as he built the stronghold, Wang Baole’s train of thought was sharp and fast. The thousands of construction puppets were like a thousand pairs of hands being controlled by him in an organized manner. There was no mess, and very quickly, when the fourth Beast Tide appeared, there was already a prototype for Wang Baole’s base being made, its foundation already built in the trench in the ground!

On the foundation, there was a large frame that was still in its initial stages of construction. Its eventual appearance couldn’t be seen yet, which made it difficult to imagine how impressive it would be. However, the construction work done continuously by the thousands of puppets surprised everyone who saw it.

Even the other candidates directed their attention to what Wang Baole was doing after they were done making restorations to their own bases. Some grew solemn, while others sped up their restoration process. As for Kong Dao, a chill flashed across his eyes. He didn’t care much, instead, focusing on the construction of his own zone.

Amongst the candidates, the most popular Li Yi was indeed rather capable, especially with the full support of the giant tree and the four Dao Colleges. That made her city one of the most sturdy and well-constructed ones out of all the candidates.

Even though it wasn’t completed, it looked extremely imposing, especially as the model of the city she wanted to construct was focused mostly on the array formations. Looking at it from a distance, light rays intersected each other, forming a three-dimensional figure. The light rays were blinding.

At the same time, the candidates also began to dedicate part of their resources and manpower to defend against and respond to Wang Baole. The megaphones were the subject of most interest. There were no complex technicalities involved for the megaphones, and very quickly, numerous megaphones were constructed by the candidates who had adequate resources and manpower, forming a part of their defense against the Beast Tide.

There was no real need to use the megaphones. After all, the effect of chasing the beasts away only existed if only one person possessed the megaphones. However, if everyone had megaphones and turned them on, it would only make the ferocious beasts even crazier and nothing else.

Therefore, their goal of making the megaphones was simply to control Wang Baole.

Seeing that others had constructed megaphones of their own, Wang Baole was unhappy.

This is a breach of copyright! This is an act of copying! Wang Baole sneered but was helpless. He knew that the megaphones had lost their function. In addition, he also realized that even after obtaining the resources from his neighbors, it was still insufficient to construct the perfect Eternal Fortress that he had in mind. The resources were clearly lacking, and that severely reduced the speed of construction.

That made Wang Baole somewhat frustrated. He uncontrollably threw glances at the zones belonging to the other candidates, with a look of greed appearing in his eyes. As he pondered about his next move, a loud boom from the Divine Armament Catacombs emerged, signaling the commencement of the fourth Beast Tide.

The fourth Beast Tide was clearly on a bigger scale than the last. With the loud boom reverberating, numerous ferocious beasts screamed as they emerged. There were even more True Breath realm ferocious beasts, and the number of Foundation Establishment realm ferocious beasts also increased...

There were also ten Ancient Corpses covered with black armor. Each of the ten Ancient Corpses was over twenty feet tall, appearing like a small fleshy mountain with the stench of rotten flesh emanating from them. Taking a closer look at them, one could see that they were each made from the assembly of individual corpses!

Some had three skulls, while some had one which was covered with eyes. Some didn’t have a head but instead had mouths filled with sharp teeth all over their large hands.

The ten Ancient Corpses were like the leaders of the Beast Tide. They charged out while roaring, leading the Beast Tide towards the different zones at high speed. As they charged, the ground shook. The candidates in each of the zones were taken aback, but they still put in all their effort to resist it.

Wang Baole was extremely troubled now. He noticed that there were two of those Ancient Corpses heading in his direction. Even though he knew that it was because his two neighbors were gone, he still felt frustrated.

That was especially so as his base was still in a nascent stage that couldn’t withstand trampling. Once the ferocious beasts entered the compound, all that had been constructed would be reduced to nothing. Therefore, Wang Baole gritted his teeth, and with anger in his heart, he thought of a method that could perhaps delay some time for him.

Wang Baole wasn’t a timid person. Right now, a chill flash across his eyes. Determined, he quickened his breathing and leaped into the air as he grabbed the donkey, who was following a puppet around while chewing on his leg.

The donkey was behaving suspiciously ever since the puppets began to move the large amount of resources. Wang Baole’s viciousness resulted in a traumatic experience for the donkey, and if not for that, the donkey would have eaten all the resources long ago.

Now, it didn’t dare to eat anything, but it was still craving food. It could only lick... After being caught, the donkey immediately began to scream as it kicked its legs in panic. It looked innocent, as if trying to tell Wang Baole that it didn’t eat a single thing.

“Listen up, donkey. You can use the city walls to hide, but you must never let a single ferocious beast enter the base. If not, I will make sure that your mouth remains shut for the rest of your life. If you succeed in this task... D*rn it, there are so many delicious things here. After I win, I will let you have a feast for three days and three nights!”

Wang Baole spoke sternly as he tossed the donkey onto the city walls and didn’t care about it anymore. He leaped, and with the attention of the gasping live stream viewers from the Federation in the background, he waved his right hand, and a Dharmic Armament saber landed in his hands. Just as the other candidates’ bases opened up and resisted the Beast Tide, he erupted at high speed, like a rainbow, charging forward as he roared at the two Ancient Corpses and the Beast Tide!

In the whole process of him charging out, a force erupted from Wang Baole. It was as if his external appearance had been erased, revealing the imposing manner that was a culmination of his experiences in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, Coulomb Basin, as well as the Mystic Luna Realm... the true him!

The image that surfaced in his mind was the scene of the large numbers of ferocious beasts escaping after the huge bat, and other beast leaders being killed at the seventh line of defense.

To survive this ordeal, the only way is to kill the beast leader and scare the other ferocious beasts away! Wang Baole looked extremely vicious, and his voice was like thunder, reverberating in all directions.

“Kill!”
