Chapter 58

At the foot of White Spirit Mountain, the scene was boiling and noisy.

On the massive crystal wall, the points were constantly changing, and at the top, intense battles were being projected, occasionally drawing many exclamations of surprise.

Until a certain moment, the scene suddenly changed, showing two figures facing off in a forest.

In a pavilion, Cai Wei, who was somewhat bored, peeled a grape with her delicate fingers, about to put it into her rosy mouth. Suddenly, her gaze paused, fixed on the crystal wall.

"That person, it seems to be the Young Master of the Manor?" Cai Wei said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingqing's gaze immediately turned to the crystal wall, and she saw the two figures facing off.

"Indeed..."

Cai Wei didn't even eat the grape, quickly sitting up straight and asking, "Who is he fighting?"

Yan Lingqing didn't recognize him, but she soon got the information from the increasing commotion around her: "It's the second-ranked student from Dongyuan Academy, Lian Zhong, a Sixth Rank with Eight Imprints strength."

"How could Li Luo provoke such a strong enemy?"

"In the elimination round, even if the Young Master of the Manor doesn't provoke others, he will still be targeted." Cai Wei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the scene on the crystal wall without blinking.

Yan Lingqing also became serious, fully focused, as they understood that this would be a tough battle.

Under their focused attention, Li Luo and Lian Zhong immediately engaged in battle, and each intense clash made the two women's expressions change slightly.

However, as the battle continued, the surprise on their faces grew stronger, as they saw that in this battle, Li Luo showed no signs of being at a disadvantage.

Despite only having Eight Imprints strength, he was firmly suppressing his opponent with Nine Imprints strength.

Especially when Li Luo's water-patterned blade glowed with water light, slicing through Lian Zhong's light armor, Cai Wei couldn't help but clap her hands excitedly on the table.

"The Young Master of the Manor is so amazing!"

Yan Lingqing's red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with unhidden astonishment.

She also hadn't expected that Li Luo would defeat an opponent with Nine Imprints strength so smoothly.

This impressive performance left no room for criticism.

She watched as Li Luo slowly sheathed his blade, his back turned in the scene. At this moment, he seemed very different from the usual diligent young man who worked at the workbench, refining spiritual water and strange light.

Now, he appeared more sharp and assertive.

Perhaps, this was the true Li Luo, and his usual gentle and playful demeanor was just a cover for his sharpness...

"This time, I believe he might really be able to make it into the top ten." Yan Lingqing chuckled, her cold eyes finally showing a hint of interest.

Outside the pavilion, there were also waves of exclamations, clearly indicating that the result of Li Luo and Lian Zhong's battle had shocked many people.

In the main pavilion, the old dean, the chief supervisor, and the mentor An Lie also saw the result of the battle.

The old dean's face was full of smiles, his eyes gleaming with unhidden pride. He said, "The second-ranked student from Dongyuan Academy was defeated by Li Luo, who ranks fifteenth in Nanyang Academy. Ha ha, how interesting."

"Chief Supervisor, what do you think?"

The chief supervisor's face twitched slightly, and he said with a smile, "Truly worthy of being the Young Master of Luolan Manor, indeed surprising."

"Is this Li Luo the Young Master of Luolan Manor? The one engaged to Jiang Qing'e?" the mentor An Lie suddenly asked.

The old dean nodded with a smile.

"He's quite good-looking... Ha ha, although Li Luo hasn't entered the Holy Xuan Star Academy yet, his name has already been well-known there." The mentor An Lie said with a half-smile.

"Defeating an opponent with Nine Imprints strength doesn't necessarily mean he can enter the Holy Xuan Star Academy." The chief supervisor said with a light smile.

"Then you should watch closely." The old dean raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent.

...

Li Luo, of course, was unaware of the heated discussions his battle had caused outside the mountain. At this moment, he was dragging the unconscious Lian Zhong towards another battle zone.

Pushing through the bushes, he saw that the battle ahead was intense. However, what surprised Li Luo was that despite the numerical advantage of Dongyuan Academy, they were being suppressed by Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang.

Zhao Kuo was fully utilizing his role as a tank, his large axe slashing away, taking most of the attacks. In contrast, Yu Lang moved like the wind, his sharp and precise attacks targeting the vital points of the three opponents, forcing them into a desperate situation.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the opponents started to suffer injuries.

Li Luo smiled and stepped out.

His appearance immediately caused the intense battle to pause. Both Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang, as well as the three students from Dongyuan Academy, turned to look at him with shocked expressions.

Especially when they saw the unconscious Lian Zhong being dragged by Li Luo, their shock intensified.

"Damn, Li Luo, you freak, you actually defeated Lian Zhong?" Yu Lang was speechless.

Li Luo nodded with a smile, then threw Lian Zhong to the front, his gaze fixed on the three students from Dongyuan Academy. "Do you still want to resist?"

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Under his gaze, the three students from Dongyuan Academy were terrified, losing the courage to fight and turning to flee in different directions.

However, Li Luo was prepared. He flicked his fingers, and water light bullets whistled out, exploding in front of them, the blinding light causing the three to scream in pain.

Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang seized the opportunity, their attacks suddenly intensifying.

In a short moment, the three were howling in pain, falling to the ground.

"Divide their points among us." Li Luo said with a smile.

"Wow, these are big fish." Yu Lang's eyes gleamed. Each of the five opponents had a significant number of points, especially Lian Zhong, who had 2,400 points.

Although he was tempted, Yu Lang didn't go after Lian Zhong's points. Instead, he said, "Lian Zhong's points, Li Luo, you take them. Zhao Kuo and I will divide the points of the other four."

The points of the other four students from Dongyuan Academy added up to over a thousand, not as much as Lian Zhong's, but still a considerable gain.

Li Luo, hearing this, wanted to say something, but Zhao Kuo also smiled and said, "Brother Luo, Lian Zhong was defeated by you alone. We can't take this advantage, and you have the potential to make it into the top ten, so there's no need to argue over this."

Seeing that both of them were so insistent, Li Luo didn't insist further, took the crystal badge, and transferred all of Lian Zhong's points to himself.

Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo, with greedy smiles on their faces, stripped the four students from Dongyuan Academy of their points in front of their terrified eyes.

"Our leader won't let you off!" The students from Dongyuan Academy shouted in despair and frustration, tears of regret streaming down their faces.

After this big gain, Li Luo's points reached 3,900, while Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo's points were around 2,000.

Although they couldn't see the points ranking, based on Li Luo's estimate, he should be able to enter the top thirty, and Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo should be able to enter the top hundred.

A smile appeared on his face. Although reaching the top ten was still a bit distant, it wasn't too far.

"The big brothers from Dongyuan Academy... truly considerate."

"I wonder if there are more?"

The elimination round became more challenging as it progressed, and the remaining participants were slippery and difficult to deal with. To gain points was not easy, so Lian Zhong and his team coming to "warm up" was truly touching, almost deserving an award.

"Let's go, we should be close to Bai Ling Ruins."

Li Luo said, then stepped forward, with Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang following closely behind.

Once they reached Bai Ling Ruins, the elimination round would enter its most intense phase.
