Chapter 1439: Sacredspring Sage College, Wang Xu
When he heard those words, Li Luo frowned and looked at the void before him. Several people had appeared, all emanating dense auras. They were garbed in a dark-blue uniform. The one at the lead had a head of disheveled hair with slightly feminine features. In between his brows was a light-blue droplet. The resonant power undulations he emitted were even stronger than those from the Heavenly Inferno Sage College's Vice Principal Chen Chi!
Everyone knew the identities of these people from the moment they saw their uniforms. Cao Sheng had the worst temperament, and when he heard those mocking words, he coldly retorted with a face full of anger, "Hmph! How long has it been since the Sacredspring Sage College was founded? When the Astral Sage College was building a reputation for itself, the Sacredspring Sage College was still an undeveloped plot of useless land!"
Judging from Vice Principal Chen Chi's words, these people were the ones who were attempting to take the main seat away.
"When you're in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, what matters is not your history." The man with feminine features smiled. "The Astral Sage College should be more concerned with retaining its position as a sage college. Perhaps by the time the Celestial Mirror Pagoda opens again, you will have lost the qualifications to enter."
Vice Principal Chen Chi frowned. "Vice Principal Wang Xu, the Astral Sage College is currently dealing with an Other Disaster. That is why we couldn’t bring more people."
Wang Xu didn't give in. "I'd say the same even if Vice Principal Su Xin were here."
"When was the Astral Sage College's right to enter the Celestial Mirror Pagoda decided by you, a mere sixth-grade Duke?" Li Luo coolly retorted.
Vice Principal Wang Xu squinted. "You speak big words."
Vice Principal Chen Chi then explained, "Vice Principal Wang Xu, Mentor Li Luo might be young, but he's a true prodigy. He's currently a second-grade Transcendent, and I feel that under his leadership, the Astral Sage College will be able to protect their main seat."
"Second-grade Transcendent?" Wang Xu's eyes turned abstruse and was lost in thought. The other mentors from the Sacredspring Sage College were similarly surprised. No one had expected that the declining Astral Sage College would produce someone who was on the Path of Ascension. The arrogance on Wang Xu's face finally receded a little, but he didn't plan to give up on seizing the Astral Sage College's main seat. After all, they would get more Celestial Mirror Sand if they could take it for themselves. It was an ultimate treasure for cultivation after all ,so they simply wouldn't give it up without a fight.
Li Luo was only equal to a fifth-grade Duke, so he wasn't up to standard when compared with them. Looking at the other main seat holders who all had minimally sixth-grade Dukes, the Astral Sage College seemed to be the easiest target.
"Mentor Li Luo, we want to obtain the main seat for the East Divine Continent's sage colleges. After all, this affects our collective interests. Since the Astral Sage College has declined, you should give it up. Otherwise, the bigger picture will be affected. Furthermore, only by capturing more Heavenly Domains can we obtain a larger amount of Celestial Mirror Sand. Wouldn't you benefit from this in the end? I admit that the fact that you're a second-grade Transcendent is shocking, but can your squad bear the responsibility of protecting the main seat?"
Wang Xu's words caused all of the other sage college squads from the East Divine Continent to turn their attention over to them and observe from a distance.
The East Divine Continent had sent thirty-seven sage colleges, and quite a few were in support of Wang Xu. Furthermore, the main seats affected the interests of the continent as a whole, and they didn't want others to take advantage of them.
The Astral Sage College had not even sent a vice principal, and the entire squad, other than Li Luo, was nothing much to brag about. Even Chi Chan, who was a fourth-grade Duke, was barely significant. Their lineup was undoubtedly the worst among the sage colleges.
When Wang Xu saw the other sage colleges silently agreeing with him, his smile turned even more resplendent and he said, "I hope that you can look at the bigger picture, Mentor Li Luo."
"Do you really think we are that weak?" Li Luo retorted in the face of Wang Xu's overbearing words.
Seeing that Li Luo didn't plan to back down, he laughed as he took a step forward. Six lights flew out of him, transforming into six towering Duke Bergfrieds. The most eye-catching of the six were the two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds. ṝ𝒶ＮɵꞖĚⱾ
The remaining four were two seven-pillar and two eight-pillars. It had to be said that Wang Xu dared to seize the main seat because he had the strength to do so. After all, so long as one had a Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfried, they were capable of easily suppressing the majority of Dukes.
The fact that he had two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds made him the cream of the crop.
Li Luo personally felt that merely having two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds wasn't that impressive, but it was still an achievement in its own right and he could feel their oppressive pressure looming over him.
When Wang Xu revealed his strength, the other eight mentors similarly summoned their Duke Bergfrieds. Six were third-grade Dukes, one was a fourth-grade, and the last one was a fifth-grade. In just an instant, the sky was filled with Duke Bergfrieds radiating immense might. Then the tide of overwhelming pressure washed over towards Li Luo.
This sight caused the sage colleges from the East Divine Continent to show expressions of awe.
Chi Chan, Mi Er, and Cao Sheng had gloomy expressions. They couldn't deny that the lineup from the Sacredspring Sage College was exceptional. Perhaps if the Astral Sage College had not encountered such a disaster, they might have been comparable to them. In the face of such pressure, the resonant power circulating within their bodies turned sluggish.
Unknowingly, Li Luo had already taken a step forward, and his two perfect Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds appeared in the air, devouring worldly natural energy. The appearance of the two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds caused many to look at him enviously. After which, the three resonant palaces within him began to emit resonant power, fusing within the Absolute Resonance Halo to become a strand of source origin.
He knew that at this point, words were meaningless. They would speak with their fists instead.
"Senior Hongyou," Li Luo lightly said.
Behind him, a smile surfaced on Li Hongyou's cold but pretty face. Her slender fingers quickly traced out a crimson seal in the air, and it emitted gold light. She flicked her finger, and the Vermilion Fruit Godly Transformation Seal was shot into Li Luo's body.
This caused Li Luo's already boundless resonant power to surge even further.
With the aid of one team member, Li Luo was able to resist the pressure coming from the entire Sacredspring Sage College team. And that wasn't all.
His eyes flowed with violet-gold light and his pupils changed, transforming into those of a dragon.
Roar!
The two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds gave off a splendid radiance, and a Heavenly Dragon could be seen within one of them. It was a manifestation of Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon resonance.
The Heavenly Dragon coiled itself atop one of the Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds and gave off a vast draconic aura that instantly smashed apart the pressure and energy condensed by the Sacredspring Sage College's team.
The manifestation then unhinged its maw and spewed out a torrent of violet-gold dragonbreath, directly striking at Wang Xu's six Duke Bergfrieds. Wang Xu's expression sank as his Duke Bergfrieds rumbled, a huge wave of water surging outwards to meet the dragonbreath.
Boom!
When the two attacks collided, the void around them trembled greatly.
The violet-gold dragonbreath was incredibly tyrannical, forcing the wave of water back constantly. When the mentors of the Sacredspring Sage College saw this, they activated their own Duke Bergfrieds in an attempt to help.
That said, Lu Qing'er was observing the situation as well. A frigid coldness surfaced from deep within her lake-like eyes. She turned her head and said to Li Hongyou, "Elder Sister Hongyou, could you bolster me with one of your seals, please?"
"Sister Qing'er, you are too polite." Li Hongyou nodded, then her resonant power flowed out and she traced out yet another crimson seal that was sent into Lu Qing'er's body. Lu Qing'er stepped forward, and in the next moment, a Duke Bergfried materialized above her, instantly causing the temperature in the area to plummet.
Everyone's gazes were directed towards the icy Duke Bergfried that resembled a glacier floating in the air.
However, when they saw the number of pillars above it, the crowd couldn't help but gasp.
After all, the icy Duke Bergfried also had ten pillars!
There was yet another individual who had embarked on the Path of Ascension in the Astral Sage College's group!
