Chapter 72

Li Luo stood on the stone pillar, which was particularly high, with sharp rocks scattered all over the ground below. Of course, he wasn't really unable to jump, but the arrow that had just hit him had drained all his strength. At this moment, many eyes were still watching him from the shadows. If he showed any sign of weakness when he jumped down, it was hard to say whether others would have ulterior motives. After all, there were too many easily obtainable points here.

So Li Luo simply sat there, putting on a show to intimidate those people.

Lv Qing'er gracefully approached Li Luo, bringing a fragrant breeze. Her beautiful eyes glanced over him, and then she extended her small hand.

"Are you wearing gloves?" Li Luo glanced at her, relieved to see that she was, so they wouldn't both fall down.

Lv Qing'er shot him a sideways glance, her charm as poetic as a painting, and then directly grabbed Li Luo's hand, gracefully leaping down from the top of the stone pillar.

As his feet touched the ground, Li Luo felt much more secure. He looked at Xiang Liang, Zong Fu, and the others who were trapped by Lv Qing'er and smiled, "You guys are down too?"

Xiang Liang and Chi Su looked dejected and didn't speak, but the wariness in their eyes toward Li Luo exceeded that toward Lv Qing'er.

After all, the current scene was too terrifying.

Zong Fu sighed, "I said before, Li Luo, you might be the biggest variable in this major exam. It seems I wasn't wrong."

Xiang Liang and Chi Su were silent. They had previously dismissed Zong Fu's guess with a laugh, never truly considering Li Luo a threat. But now, it was clear that Zong Fu's caution was right. If they had carefully planned and thoroughly understood Li Luo's strength, the situation wouldn't be as dire as it is now.

Li Luo waved his hand and then went over to drag Song Yunfeng, who was nailed to the wall, over to Shi Kong's side.

At the same time, he considerately helped stop the bleeding for Shi Kong, so he wouldn't lose too much blood and die, which would only add to the trouble.

Shi Kong opened his weak eyes, staring at Li Luo, and gritted his teeth, "Li Luo, you really know how to hide."

Li Luo smiled and then said with a pained expression, "Why did you have to force me? I just wanted to be in the top ten. Why did you have to push me to this point?"

The people behind him, including Zong Fu and Xiang Liang, swallowed hard. This was too ruthless, too much.

Indeed, Shi Kong was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't be in a hurry to spit blood."

Li Luo quickly stopped him and then checked the积分榜 with his crystal badge, finding that there were still thirteen people left. No, one more person disappeared while he was speaking, leaving twelve.

"Phew, that was close," he said with a smile.

"Do you know what I'm going to do next?" Li Luo looked at Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng, smiling faintly, but the coldness in his smile was intense.

"I said I would make you two fail in the top ten."

Shi Kong's face turned ashen, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, and he shouted, "Li Luo, you're so cruel!"

Failing in the top ten would mean losing the active admission quota, and he might not even be able to enter the Holy Xuan Star Academy. For Shi Kong, this was an extremely heavy price to pay.

Song Yunfeng also roared, "Li Luo, you can't do this! You're provoking the Song family and the Governor's Office!"

"Immature."

Li Luo shook his head and said in a gentle voice, "If you do something wrong, you must pay the price. And now, it's time for you to pay for your actions."

He took off his crystal badge and directly wiped out all of Shi Kong's points. Then he took Zong Fu's crystal badge and wiped out Song Yunfeng's points, as students from the same academy couldn't steal points from each other.

Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng's points instantly dropped to zero.

At this moment, Li Luo clapped his hands, "Let's congratulate Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng for bravely securing the 11th and 12th places in the major exam!"

Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng looked as if they had lost all hope.

Xiang Liang and the others were silent, trembling with fear, feeling that Li Luo was terrifying at this moment.

Lv Qing'er quietly watched Li Luo. For some reason, seeing him in this state made her feel a sense of joy.

The usual Li Luo was too low-key, looking harmless, but Lv Qing'er liked seeing him radiate a dazzling light, just like when he first entered the Nanfeng Academy and pointed out her flaws, making her feel wronged.

"The major exam should be entering the final countdown," Lv Qing'er said with a smile.

Li Luo's gaze turned to Xiang Liang, Zong Fu, and the others, frowning, "You three are getting off easy."

Because in the end, only two people could be eliminated from the top ten, and in terms of enmity, Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng had absolute priority.

This meant that Xiang Liang and the others still made it into the top ten. Even if their points were cleared now, they would at most be at the bottom of the rankings.

Xiang Liang, Zong Fu, and Chi Su immediately put on flattering smiles, "Brother Luo, we were also forced. It was mainly the idea of the higher-ups in the academy. We've received so many resources from the academy, we have to listen to them."

"But don't worry, once we enter the Holy Xuan Star Academy, you'll be our leader. Whatever you ask us to do, we'll do it!"

Li Luo ignored them and looked at Lv Qing'er, "Clear their points first, or I can't stand looking at them."

Lv Qing'er smiled faintly, "No."

Li Luo was taken aback, not reacting for a moment.

Zong Fu calmly reminded him, "Brother Luo, her meaning is that if she takes our points, she will surpass your current points and become the top of the major exam."

Xiang Liang and Chi Su's eyes lit up, their gazes shifting between the two. Lv Qing'er had defeated them, so their points naturally belonged to her. But to have such a legitimate reason to become the first, she chose to stay behind Li Luo. What kind of relationship was this?

What's going on here?

Even Zong Fu looked at Li Luo with some admiration. Brother Luo is awesome, having a marriage contract with a world-class genius like Jiang Qing'e, and still managing to have a flag flying?

Hearing Zong Fu's words, Li Luo realized that after getting Shi Kong and Song Yunfeng's points, he had become the first place. He was a bit panicked, "Qing'er, hurry up, I have a bit of a first-place phobia."

"Get used to it," Lv Qing'er said with a light laugh.

Li Luo said angrily, "Lv Qing'er, you're going too far. What have I done to you that you want to harm me like this?"

"Quick, quick, I don't want to be first, please."

Lv Qing'er sat down on the nearby rocks, letting the sunset pour down, casting a rosy glow on her slender and graceful figure. She propped her chin with her hands, smiling as she watched the angry Li Luo.

At this moment, a melodious bell sound echoed through Bai Ling Mountain.

In Bai Ling Ruins, everyone let out a sigh of relief, their faces showing wild joy.

But Li Luo's face turned grim. This was the bell signaling the end of the major exam.

Unfortunately, he had become the first place.
