Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1090: Startling Skills

When the referee announced Li Luo as the final winner, the entire audience burst into ear-piercing shouts and cheers.

Everyone was completely taken aback as they had just witnessed a rare miracle.

The main characters of the academic evaluation would usually be the sage colleges from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The outer divine continent sage colleges could only be sent packing. Being able to obtain a second tier spot was considered a decent result for them; the first tier spots had nothing to do with them.

Although the outer divine continent sage colleges could only look ogle at the resources allocated to the first tiers with eyes full of envy, there wasn't much of a choice. The sheer difference in environment ensured that the gap between them was vast.

They were on completely different levels of power.

However, in this special situation, Li Luo's representation of the Astral Sage College and his subsequent victory over the most elite students of the inner divine continent sage colleges was mindboggling.

They were finally able to see Li Luo's true worth in this competition. No one in the history of the event had ever single-handedly represented their college and fought the way he had. He was lacking both in terms of numbers and cultivation level, so no one could fathom how Li Luo had managed to chase away the ravenous gazes of the top three sage colleges with just a wave of his hand.

It was done cleanly as well.

The surprising result was a blow to everyone and their expectations.

"This is too insane," Lu Ming finally blurted out after being lost in thought for some time. She sucked in a deep breath, and a look of horror could be seen on her face.

Jing Taixu and Sun Dasheng looked as though they had been turned into wood. Even the usually calm and collected Jing Taixu had nothing to say.

A five-pearl had confronted three Illusory Seal-grades and their squads. If someone claimed that Li Luo was in the True Seal-grade, it would be believable in light of this result!

However, the truth was that he was not!

This was the most unbelievable part.

Sun Dasheng sighed. "It's no wonder cultivators from the outer divine continents constantly seek to enter the inner divine continents. The opportunities and cultivation conditions are incomparablye."

Lu Ming and Jing Taixu were in agreement.

As the three sighed in unison, the students from the outer divine continent sage colleges burst out in tremendous cheers. Although Li Luo's victory didn't have anything to do with them, he was considered their representative. His victory would dampen the momentum and arrogance of the inner divine continent sage colleges who usually did not deign to even spare them a glance.

Meanwhile, those from the inner divine continent sage colleges stared at each other blankly. Their enthusiasm was stifled as this result was unimaginable. However, they had personally witnessed the horrifying sword light Li Luo had used and they understood that it wasn't their representatives who weren't trying, it was the fact that Li Luo was too ferocious.

It was no wonder he had left a mark on the Empyrean Chronicle.

He had truly shown what it meant to be unrivaled amongst his peers.

"He actually won..." Amidst the celebratory shouts, Mentor Chi Chan was lost in her own world. It was obvious that this surprise had come too quickly, and she found it difficult to comprehend and accept.

Li Luo's battle had been swift and decisive.

She had assumed Li Luo would seek to drag things out before taking action. Instead, he had cleanly swept away his opponents with overwhelming force.

"Doesn't this mean I can bring back the resources for a first tier spot?"

No... that wasn't right. It was two portions of resources!

This was due to the bet with Vice Principal Wu Yu. Mentor Chi Chan was not worried that the man would renege on the bet. No matter what, he was a King with a reputation to uphold. Wu Yu would not break his promise. Two portions of resources would add up to a significant amount.

For the Astral Sage College, it was akin to delivering coal in the cold of winter and allowing it to be reborn!

It would allow them to ascend out of the depths of despair.

Just the thought of this put a smile on Mentor Chi Chan's face. Vice Principal Su Xin would surely be shocked and speechless when she returned.

Judging from how anxious Vice Principal Su Xin had been in recent months, she might truly erect a statue of Li Luo as compensation. Mentor Chi Chan lightly laughed at that thought. "This brat..."

The Heavenly Origin Ancient College's numerous students were also silent. It was only after a while that Zong Sha spat out a breath of turbid air with a complicated expression on his face.

Mo Yun was still silent while Jiang Wanyu glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"What a stunning strike." Jiang Wanyu's expression was constantly changing as well.

"That Duke Art must have be above the Soul Ascension-grade."

The crowds' hearts jumped upon hearing her words. Didn't this mean that it had reached the Destiny-grade? Such a Duke Art was considered top-tier even in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

Any Duke Art, even a Communion-grade one, would serve as a lethal ace; one's strength would far exceed their peers. If one were able to master a Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art, then they would be capable of beating opponents at a higher cultivation level.

As for a Destiny-grade Duke Art, it was something even the most elite of students would not even dare to think about. Such an art was already extremely rare, and the difficulty of cultivating it far surpassed their wildest imaginations. Meanwhile, Li Luo was able to master such a frightening art at the Heavenly Pearl Tier?

"This reminds me of the Heavenly Star Hall's genius senior sister, Spirit Artist," Zong Sha said.

Jiang Wanyu's face changed as she asked, "Do you mean the one who cultivated numerous Duke Arts to Grand Perfection? Senior Feng Lingyuan?"

When some of the other students heard that name, they glanced to their side with slight fear. Clearly, Senior Feng Lingyuan was an extraordinary person. In the Heavenly Star Hall, where the truly talented gathered, she was one that stood amongst the top three in terms of monstrous talent.

The nickname of "Spirit Artist" was something that the Principal had personally bestowed upon her. Just this alone was sufficient to let others know of how terrifying her talent in comprehending resonance arts was. And Zong Sha had compared her to Li Luo. The battle he had just witnessed had truly brought him immense shock.

As the viewing stands buzzed with excitement, the atmosphere at the highest viewing platform seemed a little stagnant.

The two crimson pearls in Vice Principal Wu Yu's hand had stopped rotating. Instead, his fist was tightly clenched and the two pearls were emitting waves of loud tremors, causing the void to shudder.

"Vice Principal Wu Yu, please don't destroy this place. I don't want to be responsible for helping you clean things up," Vice Principal Qing Man reminded him.

Vice Principal Wu Yu was still expressionless as his palm opened and the two crimson pearls were swallowed up.

"It looks like my previous guess was not as ludicrous as you thought. It came true in the end." Vice Principal Qing Man smiled slightly.

It looked like she was enjoying the moment, unconcerned with the fact that she would anger Wu Yu.

Vice Principal Wu Yu's eyes shrunk as he said, "This has been unexpected. Regardless, Li Luo is from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and the result was not because of the Astral Sage College. If he had not gone to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, such a result would not have been possible."

Vice Principal Qing Man grinned. She understood Wu Yu's words. He was clearly telling her that he had not lost to Pang Qianyuan, but instead to the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

Regardless, there wasn't much point to that.

It was nothing more than forced words used to console himself. contemporary romance

Vice Principal Qing Man did not continue to provoke him. Instead, she remained amused that Wu Yu had managed to fall to a little Heavenly Pearl Tier brat's schemes.

At the same time, she let out a lazy stretch. "It looks like there's not much point in hanging around after this. Let's hurry and bring this to a close."

When she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed and she looked towards the depths of the college. Her usual, lazy expression suddenly became solemn.

"A vice principal is returning from the depths."

Vice Principal Wu Yu's gaze turned serious when he heard this.

It seemed that the Principal was about to transmit some news to them.
