Chapter 66

In the hollow of the tree, Lu Qing'er was stunned by Li Luo's actions. She stood there with her rosy lips slightly parted, staring at Li Luo in a daze. This appearance, so different from her usual cold demeanor, made her look unusually charming and particularly adorable.

Li Luo was also amused by her expression and couldn't help but say, "Haha, I was just teasing you. Actually, before this major exam, I had already been accumulating and preparing for it, so I was already close to breaking through. After being emotionally affected by Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng's actions, I practiced for a while and felt the signs of a breakthrough."

Only then did Lu Qing'er let out a sigh of relief, giving Li Luo a glare. This guy could just break through, but he had to count one, two, three, almost shattering her worldview.

"But your cultivation speed seems a bit fast. I feel like the Seventh Rank is nothing special." Lu Qing'er suddenly said with some doubt.

Li Luo nodded in response, "I used the Spirit Water and Odd Light to enhance my rank."

Lu Qing'er nodded slightly, not asking any more questions, and returned to the main topic, "But even if you reach the Eighth Seal, you will only narrow the gap with Shi Kong. Your chances of winning are still slim."

Shi Kong has the Ninth Seal strength and possesses the Upper Seventh Rank Lightning Phase. This type of phase attack is swift and extremely fast, making him a tough opponent in battle.

On the other hand, Li Luo had just broken through to the Eighth Seal, with a Water Phase that might be around the Sixth Rank... The gap between them was still quite significant.

"Let's give it a try." Li Luo said.

Seeing that Li Luo had made up his mind, Lu Qing'er didn't try to dissuade him any further. If she could quickly deal with her opponent, she could rush to assist Li Luo.

As they were talking, a head suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tree hollow. He first stared blankly at the two people inside, then suddenly came to his senses and shouted in joy, "Here!"

Bang!

As the words fell, a cold phase force whistled through the air, like an icicle, striking his face directly. Frost spread, freezing his face.

He didn't even have time to scream before he fell down.

However, his shout immediately attracted some people nearby, and several figures quickly rushed over.

But as they approached, they saw Li Luo and Lu Qing'er walking out.

"Lu Qing'er is fine? Was she deceived by Shi Kong?" They saw Lu Qing'er, unharmed, especially the ice phase power flowing on her body.

Their faces immediately changed.

Lu Qing'er put on her ice silk gloves again, her eyes cold as she stared at the people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, "Get lost, our target is Shi Kong."

Her cold voice spread, and the ice phase power flowed, causing frost to spread over the rocks at her feet.

The surrounding students, seeing this, turned pale and hurriedly retreated, cursing in their hearts. Shi Kong was clearly just bluffing; Lu Qing'er's condition was far from being seriously injured.

After driving away the others, Li Luo and Lu Qing'er stood in place, knowing that Shi Kong and the others would soon receive the message and arrive.

Their wait didn't last long. A few minutes later, several figures quickly approached from the west, nimbly leaping through the ruins.

It was Shi Kong, Song Yunfeng, and the others.

They finally stopped in front of Li Luo and Lu Qing'er, their gazes all somewhat surprised as they looked at Lu Qing'er, whose condition seemed much better than they had imagined.

"Qing'er, are you feeling better?" Shi Kong asked with concern.

Lu Qing'er's face was indifferent, ignoring his feigned concern, and instead, her sharp gaze turned to Song Yunfeng, "Song Yunfeng, you are truly despicable."

She had been surrounded by Shi Kong and the others because of the mark Tifa Qing had left for Song Yunfeng, making him the instigator of all this.

Under Lu Qing'er's cold gaze, Song Yunfeng's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he could only awkwardly say, "Qing'er, I had my reasons."

However, Lu Qing'er turned her gaze away from him, her cold demeanor clearly indicating that she had cast him into the depths of despair.

A trace of shame and anger flashed in Song Yunfeng's eyes, and he no longer tried to defend himself, but inwardly seethed: "What a show, after pursuing you for so long with no progress, let's see how you act after being eliminated this time."

At the same time, his dark gaze turned to Li Luo, as Lu Qing'er's rapid recovery was clearly due to Li Luo.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, thinking about how Li Luo had heroically saved Lu Qing'er and how she now treated him.

"Li Luo, are you a dog, always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?" Song Yunfeng gritted his teeth, his face dark.

Li Luo glanced at Song Yunfeng and slowly said, "It was you who betrayed Zhao Kuo and Yu Lang, wasn't it?"

Song Yunfeng coldly replied, "Even if I hadn't done it, they would have been eliminated eventually."

Li Luo smiled, but the smile felt chilling.

At this moment, Shi Kong's gaze also shifted from Lu Qing'er to Li Luo, and he said with a smile, "Li Luo, this matter has nothing to do with you. I'll give you a chance to leave. If you do, you might still have a chance to make it into the top ten. What do you say?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "But I'm very angry, and I don't want you to make it into the top ten."

Shi Kong laughed, pointing to his head, "Are you so angry that you've lost your mind? It seems the earlier events really affected you."

"Even though Qing'er's injuries have improved, if you think she can defeat me, you're overestimating her."

Li Luo shook his head and said seriously, "I don't plan to have her defeat you; I plan to do it myself."

This time, Shi Kong didn't even bother to laugh. Song Yunfeng and Xiang Liang, who were standing nearby, stared at Li Luo with strange looks, as his words left them speechless.

Is Li Luo really that angry?

As they were speechless, Lu Qing'er also spoke to Li Luo, "Then I'll deal with Xiang Liang, Chi Su, and Zong Fu. What about Song Yunfeng? Do I need to take care of him as well?"

Li Luo thought for a moment and said, "Before the main course, I need an appetizer to build momentum. Song Yunfeng is just right."

"Understood."

Lu Qing'er nodded slightly and then moved, heading in another direction.

This left the others truly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief. Lu Qing'er was really planning to let Li Luo face Shi Kong?

"What do you think?" Xiang Liang and the others looked at Shi Kong with some doubt.

Shi Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "Lu Qing'er's 'Ice Jade Hands' are currently unusable. You go and play with her for a while. I'll deal with this and then come to help you."

The three hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Lu Qing'er without saying anything more.

With their departure, the ruins were left with Li Luo standing alone, facing off against Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng.

This scene was also projected to the foot of Bai Ling Mountain, causing a great deal of surprise and commotion, even more so than when Lu Qing'er was being hunted.
