Chapter 150: Luo Li: A little test of skill! Looks like the body hasn

~7 min read 1,247 words

As a result, the expressions of Ningguang and Keqing on the Jade Chamber changed.

They had thought that by dragging it out until the time was up, the crisis would be resolved.

But who knew that Osial would disregard the Archon’s face, ignore the three women who had fiercely slapped its face, and go to take revenge on Liyue Harbor.

Does a dignified Archon have no sense of shame?!

Not only were they anxious, but Eula and the others also discovered that things were not looking good.

But the three, who were constantly being pulled into dodging by the meteor shower, could not spare the time to block it.

“Oh no! In this way, is the exam going to fail!”

At this moment, what Eula was considering was actually that she would be unable to meet Luo Li’s requirements and thus unable to get his promise.

But soon she realized she had overthought it.

Above the Jade Chamber.

Ningguang pondered for a long time, and finally, she seemed to have made up her mind.

“To stop the Archon Osial, I will abandon the Jade Chamber!”

Her sudden words left everyone present stunned.

Paimon said in surprise: “Eh, what do you mean?”

Keqing reacted in an instant, frowning: “You want to use the Jade Chamber to suppress it back into the seabed?”

Ningguang nodded silently: “That’s right. Since no one can stop it, then I will act as the final line of defense!”

Her determination could be reflected in her unwavering words.

One had to know that building the Jade Chamber had cost a massive amount of wealth and resources, with all kinds of precious divine objects piled onto it, only then condensing such a floating island.

From the moment Ningguang first ascended to the position of the the Liyue Qixing, she had been preparing for the establishment of the Jade Chamber, and to this day, the Mora spent was uncountable.

And for her, the significance of the Jade Chamber was not just wealth; it also represented her ultimate dream.

Once upon a time, Ningguang had sworn that one day, the shadow of the Jade Chamber would cover the seven nations.

But at this critical moment, she was willing to abandon her dream, intending to destroy the Jade Chamber to protect the people of Liyue.

This shift in will made Luo Li glance at her.

From this moment on, Ningguang finally realized that she was not just a merchant; her thinking was leaning more toward that of a ruler of a nation.

What she considered was not just a little gain or loss, but the safety of all the people.

Ningguang took a deep breath. Of course, she was reluctant to abandon the Jade Chamber, but compared to Liyue Harbor, this loss was completely acceptable.

“Traveler, I leave it to you.”

Looking toward Lumine, Ningguang, having let go of her worries and opened her heart, felt an unprecedented sense of openness and refreshment.

Having passed today’s crisis, she was confident that the Liyue of the future would get better and better in the era of human rule.

All confusion and hesitation would be swept away.

Lumine nodded heavily, just about to take action, when she heard a light clapping sound from the side.

“Good realization. I hope you won’t forget this unwavering will in the future.”

Luo Li clapped lightly, his gaze filled with appreciation, attracting the attention of several people.

In fact, today’s test was not just for Eula and the others, but also for leaders of Liyue like Keqing and Ningguang.

Using the crisis to see their courage and determination in the face of danger.

This was also Zhongli’s expectation.

It was not really to see them perfectly resolve this incident, but to find the direction toward the future and a firm will.

If the two rulers of Liyue couldn’t even pass this hurdle, Zhongli would disappointedly step in to smooth everything over and reconstruct a new power structure.

Making everything conform to his wishes.

And this was also Luo Li’s view. The reason he didn’t take the initiative to intervene was also to see the capacity of the the Liyue Qixing.

Undoubtedly, Keqing’s ideals had never wavered from the beginning.

Centralizing power immediately, taking over Liyue with military force, and eradicating all discordant factors.

While Ningguang had always remained behind the scenes, making it impossible for people to figure out her thoughts.

Only when the problem was placed in front of everyone, when it was imminent, would she reveal her true thoughts.

And the answer given now, Luo Li was very satisfied.

“Don’t worry about Osial reaching Liyue Harbor; the exam I set hasn’t ended yet, so it must stay here honestly.”

The heavy weight in his light words was astonishing. Luo Li watched the Archon, who was running wild and rolling with ten thousand hectares of waves from afar, his expression calm and without fluctuation.

Stepping lightly from the Jade Chamber, as if walking on the void step by step, for the first time in five hundred years, he finally made a move.

Keqing and Ningguang looked at his back, a bit worried, not knowing what Luo Li intended to do.

The next moment, the two women’s eyes widened, their cherry lips unable to stop from opening, completely unable to close.

They saw Luo Li make no violent movements, just a light wave.

Suddenly, a terrifying scene of pitch-black covered the heavens and earth. The purple-black Imaginary Space stretched into a curtain that left people speechless, crashing head-on into Osial, who was rolling with ten thousand hectares of waves.

Crashing into a south wall, Osial was dizzy for a moment, its forward momentum stopped, and it subconsciously stared blankly at the giant curtain connecting the heavens and earth.

This thing seemed somewhat familiar.

Luo Li’s movements paused slightly, and the Imaginary Space began to condense, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

Then, as if an invisible giant palm had swept past, the Sea of Clouds was directly separated by a peerless force, forming a fault abyss of dozens of kilometers, with even the seabed clearly visible.

Osial had no power to resist; like a rag, it was slapped away along with ten thousand tons of seawater, smashed back to the location of Guyun Stone Forest.

Not only were Keqing, Ningguang, Lumine, and Paimon stunned, but the three women, Eula and the others, were also dumbfounded.

“This is too terrifying?!”

Watching Luo Li’s calm, almost cold expression high in the sky, Eula swallowed slightly.

It was simply a difference between heaven and earth.

In their eyes, the peerlessly terrifying Archon was nothing more than a toy to be manipulated at will in Luo Li’s hands.

Probably even the Geo Archon could not reach this level.

“Alright, I’ve moved it back for you. The exam continues. I was careful not to hurt Osial.”

While the three women were stunned, Luo Li, stepping on the void as if it were solid ground, spoke to wake them up.

“……”

The three were speechless. What was this?

However, after this storm, all their fear of the Archon was lost.

Just kidding, it turned out their teacher was so fierce; what else was there to be afraid of?

It wasn’t possible that Luo Li would stand by and watch if they were in a life-or-death crisis.

Thinking this way, Eula burst out with infinite fighting spirit.

A mere Archon—it must be cut down by her sword!
