Chapter 0631: Dual Legends
âFiend Palace Tier?â Faced with the powerful fluctuations of resonant power emanating from Li Luo, even Vice Principal Su Xin was slightly taken aback. However, a mysterious brilliance shone in her eyes, and an uncontrollable and affable smile spread across her compassionate face.
âLi Luo, you and Jiang Qingâe have brought a lot of happy surprises to our college today.â Li Luoâs breakthrough brought great joy and satisfaction to her. Since the Astral Sage Collegeâs inception, no One Star Hall student had ever broken into the Fiend Palace Tier. This was the second record that was broken today.
Normally speaking, such talented geniuses would only appear in the ancient colleges of the inner divine continent, the core of the Academic Federation. As a result, such individuals possessed both superior cultivation circumstances and resources that were incomparable to what the outer divine continents could provide. The extent of the support provided was as different as night and day. The other Violet Vibrance mentor also seemed to have understood this point as he stared dumbstruck at Li Luo. His cultivation speed seemed to far outstrip any normal individual, even considering his dual resonances.
Vice Principal Su Xin was a swift and decisive person when taking action. Upon confirming the truth of the matter, she no longer hesitated, directly removing a jade bottle from the pocket sphere on her wrist. She then passed it to Mentor Chi Chan. âStudent Li Luo has performed excellently in his cultivation and set a new record for the college. As a result, he is deserving of a prize. All of the leftover Fiend Origin Pills provided to the Three Star Hall will be his reward. That is a total of ten pills.â Mentor Chi Chan immediately received it before turning to pass it to Li Luo.
âThank you, Vice principal!â Li Luo was jubilant as he hurriedly expressed his thanks.
This was a complete windfall. If ten Fiend Origin Pills ever appeared within the Golden Dragon Bank, they would undoubtedly be snatched away as soon as they appeared, as there were too many monks that craved this gruel. There was simply insufficient supply for the ravenous demand of this item. Even if one managed to get the chance to buy one, it would easily go for millions of skygold. On the other hand, Vice Principal Su Xin had casually gifted ten of them to him. This was stupendous! Li Luo couldnât help but to give a thumbs up in response.
Yet right as Li Luo received the Fiend Origin Pills, he could feel a cold and furious gaze bearing down upon him. Turning around, he unsurprisingly locked eyes with a certain Zhu Xuan, who had a distorted expression and a deathly stare.
âSenior Zhu Xuan, my sincerest apologies. However, I understand that House Jiyan is rich and affluent and wouldnât be concerned over the minor loss of a few Fiend Origin Pills,â Li Luo said in his most polite and welcoming tone.
Zhu Xuanâs gloomy face twitched in response to Li Luoâs pandering words. Ten Fiend Origin Pills wasnât considered expensive, but even he would have to pay a significant cost to obtain them. Alas, they had all been snatched away by the bandit Li Luo in front of his very eyes, losing him both pill and prestige.
âSenior Zhu Xuan wouldnât try to rob me over such pittance, would he? Perhaps we can choose to settle this dispute over a quick battle? The winner takes all, I say!â Li Luo hurriedly tried to smoothen things over.
Zhu Xuan continued to glare fiercely at Li Luo. There was no fear in his eyes when he spoke. Instead, a hint of anticipation could be seen. This only made him feel even more aggrieved. Duel? Yeah, right! He might have had a chance to suppress Li Luo for a brief moment in the past, but the junior before him today was someone completely out of his league.
He couldnât guarantee he would win even when Li Luo was at a lower cultivation level. And now? Wasnât he cruising for a bruising if he accepted? This guy was absolutely despicable!
âStudent Zhu Xuan, thereâs no need to covet these Fiend Origin Pills. If the Three Star Hall students have any remaining, Iâll leave a few for you too,â Vice Principal Su Xin cajoled.
After hearing those words, Zhu Xuan could only force a bitter smile and nod knowingly.
Next, he forlornly turned towards Li Luo and warned in a low voice, âYoung Lord Li Luo, youâd better appreciate this last month of time. Perhaps House Luolan will be no more very soon. You will definitely need those Fiend Origin Pills much more than me. Hmph.â With that, he turned with a huff and left.
On the other hand, Li Luo had a wry smile on his face. He was absolutely unconcerned with Zhu Xuanâs threats as it was no secret that House Jiyan and House Luolan were mortal enemies. Theyâd already clashed both openly and in secret, and it wouldnât be a surprise if they interfered once again during the Housemeet.
Well, he wanted to provoke that damn Zhu Xuan into a duel, and that would have been a wonderful opportunity to leave him bedridden for a bitâŠ
Although Zhu Xuanâs strength was inconsequential to the overall situation, if Li Luo was able to use him as bait to infuriate House Jiyan, that would have been great. Furious people couldnât act rationally most of the time.
It was a pity that Zhu Xuan was not as dumb as he looked. Knowing that he was not Li Luoâs opponent, he never even entertained the thought of scuffling with him.
Zhu Xuanâs mentor, on the other hand, could only helplessly shake his head. He didnât hold any strong opinions towards Vice Principal Su Xinâs final decision. In any case, Li Luo was already in the Fiend Palace Tier, and he was better than Zhu Xuan in terms of potential and contribution.
Zhu Xuan was simply unlucky.
With that settled, he also turned to leave.
âLi Luo, are you planning to select your Duke Art now?â Vice Principal Su Xin then asked.
Li Luo nodded. âNow that Iâve broken into the Fiend Palace Tier, the difficulty in cultivating a Duke Art should have decreased.â He smiled.
âYou shouldnât disregard the difficulty of your task. If you think simply stepping into the Fiend Palace Tier is sufficient, then youâre looking down upon the Seven Astral Pillars. They havenât managed to succeed either, despite their cultivation levels.â
Li Luo was left a little speechless at Vice Principal Su Xinâs reality check.
Looking at his slightly downcast expression, Vice Principal Su Xin then gave a smile. âOf course, thatâs if we were to use a normal individual as comparison. You have managed to create countless miracles, so you canât be considered normal. I hope youâll continue to surprise us.â
âThank you for the kind words.â
âGo on, then. I await your positive results.â Vice Principal Su Xin grinned as she sent him off.
Li Luo nodded and no longer tarried, directly following Mentor Chi Chan as they left the massive square. The only thing was that when they had first arrived, everyone had only been focused on Jiang Qingâe. Now that he was leaving, over half of the audience was staring at him like some sort of freak.
Clearly, the news of him breaking into the Fiend Palace Tier had spread in this short span of time.
Frankly speaking, the magnitude of the surprise did not equal that of Jiang Qingâe overcoming a Seven Astral Pillar.
However, Li Luo being able to achieve this while he was still in the One Star Hall was unfathomable. How strong would he be by the time he entered the Three Star Hall? It shouldnât be too difficult to replicate Jiang Qingâeâs achievements ahead of schedule, right?
If such a thing came to pass, the duo would become the Astral Sage Collegeâs most iconic couple.
Despite being pummeled by the shocked stares of the audience, Li Luo was completely unfazed. Why? He was about to reach the resonance art library, and he was naturally excited by the prospect of learning a Duke Art. This was something he anticipated even more than the Fiend Origin Pills.
He was absolutely thrilled. Ten minutes later, Mentor Chi Chan finally stopped walking as they arrived at their destination.
Raising his head, an ancient pagoda stood before him.
Three large words were engraved on it: Resonant Art Pagoda. Each character shone under the radiant sun.
A humongous grin uncontrollably formed on Li Luoâs face. It was time for a Duke Art!
