Chapter 71

At the foot of White Spirit Mountain, when the image on the crystal wall froze on the scene of a stream of light arrows piercing through Shikong's left arm, all the clamor came to a halt.

Countless people gradually widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing...

Shikong, who had been in an absolute dominant position, was suddenly shot by a large bow that Li Luo had pulled out from somewhere, and was blown apart...

This scene was simply a bit magical.

Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing, who were in the pavilion, also slowly opened their rosy lips, then closed and reopened their eyes. "Hmm, the image is correct, Shikong really was blown apart."

"What's going on?" Cai Wei said a bit bewildered.

A moment ago, she was still worried and anxious about Li Luo's constant retreat, but in just a few minutes, Shikong was lying on the ground, screaming in pain.

The drastic change was too great, even for Cai Wei's broad-mindedness, it was hard to accept.

Yan Lingqing bit her red lips and deliberated, "If I didn't see it wrong, Li Luo seems to have beaten Shikong."

Cai Wei leaned back in her chair, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful oval face. "In the future, who will dare to say that the young lord is just a mascot of Luo Yan Manor?"

Although she had only been in Tian Shu County for a month, Cai Wei had been conscientiously taking care of Li Luo, and Li Luo's personality was very appealing to her, so she really treated him like her own younger brother.

As the chief steward of Luo Yan Manor in Tian Shu County, Cai Wei was well aware of how hard Li Luo practiced.

Apart from the fact that he consumed spiritual water and strange light like a bottomless pit, Cai Wei thought Li Luo was a very likable young lord.

Therefore, when she saw Li Luo perform a miracle, she felt genuine joy and satisfaction.

In the future, some people in Luo Yan Manor would probably no longer ignore Li Luo.

Yan Lingqing nodded lightly. Li Luo's performance today was enough to shock people, clearly, this young lord had been hiding his true abilities all along.

"This young lord is really quite different from his parents," Yan Lingqing said.

Those two had once dominated the entire generation in the Great Xia Kingdom, how brilliant and dazzling they were. Compared to them, Li Luo seemed much more low-key. If outsiders didn't understand, they might think that Jiang Qing'e was the bloodline of those two, and Li Luo was adopted...

"The problem of the empty phase has a significant impact on the young lord, so even after solving the problem of the empty phase, he doesn't want to completely expose himself to everyone's gaze. He likes to be low-key, preparing many trump cards to enhance his sense of security. As he said, 'develop secretly, don't be reckless,'" Cai Wei said.

"I think if it weren't for Shikong and Song Yunfeng's aggressive behavior, the young lord would probably just aim for the top ten and stop there."

Yan Lingqing nodded slightly. Given Li Luo's personality, this was indeed a possibility, because in his view, as long as he could enter the Holy Xuan Star Academy, whether he was first or not wasn't that important.

"I think such a personality isn't necessarily bad," Cai Wei commented with a light laugh.

Yan Lingqing shot her a glance, "You're being too nice to Li Luo."

"Such a handsome young lord is hard to come by," Cai Wei said with a coquettish laugh.

...

"Ha ha ha!"

When Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing were chatting, the old dean in the main pavilion burst out laughing, his laughter shaking the pavilion, drawing the attention of people in other pavilions.

"Ha ha, worthy of being Li Tai Xuan and Dantai Lan's son, a tiger father doesn't have a dog son!"

The old dean's face was flushed, the previous gloom vanished as if by magic, then he slapped the table hard and said to the supervisor Shikong, "See that? This is the strength of our Nanfeng Academy!"

The supervisor Shikong lowered his head to drink tea, but his eyes, reflected in the tea, were filled with rage.

He never expected the situation to suddenly change like this.

That Li Luo, who was about to lose, suddenly burst out, shooting down Shikong with one arrow.

Thinking of years of planning being shattered by this one arrow, even if the supervisor Shikong tried to suppress his anger, he couldn't help but crush the teacup with a fierce slap, and said in a low voice, "Can't you be quiet?"

"Quiet your ass!"

The old dean, with a more fiery temper, directly cursed, "Who the hell are you to tell me to shut up?"

The supervisor Shikong's face turned ashen, and astonishing phase power suddenly burst from his body. A faint green python seemed to appear, exuding a fierce aura.

It was a seventh-grade green python phase!

"Wow, are you trying to fight me? I've been putting up with you for a long time!" However, the old dean, seeing this, laughed instead of getting angry, and red phase power rose, with a red beast floating in the phase power, its hooves seemingly stepping on magma fire.

A seventh-grade fire-swallowing ape.

The two powerful figures, both at the Tian Gang stage, unleashed their full strength, and the stone pavilion began to crack under the pressure.

The mentor An Lie hurriedly intervened, "Both of you, the exam is still ongoing. If you affect the exam here, the Holy Xuan Star Academy might reduce the number of admissions for Tian Shu County next year!"

Hearing this, the old dean immediately calmed down, retracting his phase power, and snorted.

The supervisor Shikong, seeing this, also had to retract his phase power, sitting back down with a gloomy face.

Mentor An Lie shook his head, not getting involved in their affairs, but instead focused his gaze on the image on the crystal wall. There, Shikong was shot through the left arm, clearly severely injured, and would lose all his combat ability.

It could be said that the outcome was already determined.

But no one had predicted this result.

"Everyone said the young lord of Luo Yan Manor had no potential, but now it seems that rumors can be harmful."

...

In the ruins.

Shikong was still lying on the ground, screaming in pain, blood gushing from his arm. In the shadows, people watched this scene, drawing in cold breaths as if trying to suck all the cold air around them.

Because only by doing so could they express the shock in their hearts.

Not far away, Song Yunfeng, impaled by a broken spear on the wall, stared at this scene in a daze, muttering, "Impossible, impossible..."

He couldn't believe that Li Luo had actually defeated Shikong!

This completely defied logic. Shikong had a ninth-grade phase power and a seventh-grade lightning phase, with terrifying combat ability. In the entire Tian Shu County, only Lu Qing'er could pose a threat to him.

But now, he was blown apart by Li Luo.

At this moment, Song Yunfeng felt a strong sense of malice. If it weren't for Shikong's identity, he would have cursed, "Are you getting paid to throw the match?"

Because he wasn't a participant, he couldn't understand why Li Luo's seemingly simple arrow could destroy Shikong to this extent.

However, no matter how much he couldn't understand, it had no effect on reality.

Li Luo stood on a stone pillar covered with vines, looking calmly at Shikong lying in a pool of blood. He made no other movements, as if admiring Shikong's current miserable state.

He even sat down lazily on top of the stone pillar, holding the blue-silver bow in one hand and letting the other hand hang down, his gaze cold and indifferent, watching Shikong.

This demonic aura made the other students who were watching from the shadows shudder, not daring to make a sound to attract Li Luo's attention.

In this area, everyone held their breath.

After about ten minutes, a sound of wind breaking the silence, Lu Qing'er rushed over, holding a rope with three disheveled figures tied to it: Xiang Liang, Zong Fu, and Chi Su.

Clearly, she had defeated them.

When Lu Qing'er hurriedly arrived, the first thing she saw was Song Yunfeng impaled on the broken wall, and her heart was immediately shaken.

She continued forward, passing through the broken ruins, and her steps gradually slowed down.

Because ahead, there was a pool of blood, and in the blood, Shikong was holding his arm, barely alive, as if about to die.

Shock gradually appeared on Lu Qing'er's face.

The three people behind her, Xiang Liang, Chi Su, and Zong Fu, were even more stunned.

Lu Qing'er looked up at Li Luo sitting on the stone pillar. At this moment, his expression was cold, and his aura was so strong that even she felt a bit of fear.

She slowly came to the base of the stone pillar, looking up at the figure, just as she had looked up at Li Luo when she first entered Nanfeng Academy.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly.

Li Luo slowly lowered his head, looking at Lu Qing'er, and then she saw his whole body relax, and a voice of relief came.

"You finally came..."

"Quick, help me down. My phase power is empty, I don't dare to jump."

Lu Qing'er was stunned.

Then, she felt both angry and amused. So, you were just posing up there because your phase power was empty?
