Chapter 1083: Lan Lan Lingzi, the Demon King of All Beings

As Vice President Qing Man had said, after the battle between Li Luo, Gao Xuhan, and the third person, the remaining wrap-up matches became bland and uninteresting, and the audience was still immersed in the lingering afterglow of that great battle, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Fortunately, the remaining matches ended quickly, and this academy-level evaluation concluded perfectly.

The Sacred Mystic Star Academy represented by Li Luo unsurprisingly obtained a first-class quota, while the other first-class quota was to be determined by drawing lots among the three captains who had received seven-star evaluations: Gao Xuhan, Tong Yan, and Gu Jing.

In the end, Tong Yan, in a frenzy of joy, drew the lucky lot and obtained that other first-class quota.

Meanwhile, the expressions on Gao Xuhan and Gu Jing's faces were as ugly as a black wok.

But there was nothing to be done about it—who could blame luck for not favoring them?

Still, they really were quite unlucky. With their strength, obtaining a first-class quota in this session shouldn't have been difficult, but who would have expected Li Luo to charge out like a road-blocking tiger, causing them to lose the first-class quota in the end, and on top of that, become the stepping stone for Li Luo's soaring fame.

In the future, whenever Li Luo's name was passed around among the various academies, the three of them would inevitably become the villains, dragged out again and again to be whipped.

And once the quotas were confirmed, the original award ceremony was suddenly canceled, and Vice Presidents Wu Yu and Qing Man departed directly and swiftly under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The Sacred Academy teams present all voiced their confusion.

Fortunately, a mentor from the Tianyuan Ancient Academy immediately stepped forward to soothe them, informing the various Sacred Academies that everything would proceed as usual, and that cultivation resources and all related matters would be delivered as promised.

Only then did the clamor in the venue subside.

Afterward, the various Sacred Academies also gradually departed.

Li Luo stretched his waist, looked at the two Vice Presidents who had suddenly left, and muttered, "This Wu Yu wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"

Mentor Xi Chan shook her head and said, "Given his status, doing something like that would only cause him greater losses."

Li Luo thought about it and agreed. Although those cultivation resources were indeed worth a fortune, what manner of person was a King-level powerhouse? They might not truly care that much.

At this moment, he saw Lu Ming, Jing Jing Taixu, and Sun Sun Dasheng approaching together, and he immediately smiled and went to meet them.

"Li Luo, you've truly made a name for yourself now. Aren't you going to invite a few good friends to celebrate together?" Lu Ming revealed a delicate, pretty smile, and the girl's fair and beautiful face also drew many gazes from the opposite sex nearby.

Li Luo looked at the three of them, recalled the encounters during the Holy Grail War, and meeting these once-familiar faces in a foreign land was indeed a pleasant thing.

So Li Luo smiled and agreed.

"Then please, the three of you, do me the honor."

And while Li Luo went off to celebrate with his companions, Vice Presidents Wu Yu and Qing Man hurried back to the "Tianyuan Pagoda."

Their figures appeared directly at the top floor, where they saw a slender woman's silhouette standing before a crystal-clear window.

The woman wore a sapphire-blue jade armor, golden battle boots on her feet, exuding a sharp, commanding presence.

Looking at this familiar figure, Vice President Wu Yu's brow twitched, then he said calmly, "Vice President Lan Lan Lingzi, has the President sent a message?"

The woman before them, clad in sapphire-blue jade armor, was actually the Vice President Lan Lan Lingzi that Li Luo had been looking for.

Hearing the voices behind her, Lan Lan Lingzi turned around. Surprisingly, she looked extraordinarily young, with sword-like brows that made her appear even more commanding.

Her long hair was pinned up, and she wore a crown seemingly woven from blue grass stems. The crown appeared to possess a life of its own, occasionally sprouting slender stems and leaves that brushed against her hair.

Though she looked young, her eyes held a composure and depth that did not belong to such a youthful appearance, clearly indicating that her true age did not match her outward looks.

"How did this operation go?" Vice President Qing Man, upon seeing her, also asked with a solemn expression.

As the academy's controllers, Vice Presidents Wu Yu and Qing Man naturally knew that during this period, the President of their Tianyuan Ancient Academy and the other Vice Presidents had all been deployed—just what level of enemy were they engaging?

"The plan was thwarted. the Demon King of All Beings has appeared, and brought along the demons under its seat. They have also descended a projection of the 'Ghost Skin Domain of All Beings,' shrouding that 'Little Chen Heaven.' Now both sides are forming a multi-pronged confrontation." Lan Lan Lingzi spoke, her brief words delivering explosive intelligence.

"The Demon King of All Beings... the Ghost Skin Domain of All Beings!" The expressions of Vice Presidents Wu Yu and Qing Man turned utterly solemn, because the so-called "Demon King of All Beings" was an aberrant existence that struck fear even into the kings among the world's many living beings.

The Triple Crown King, the Demon King of All Beings.

And the so-called "Ghost Skin Domain of All Beings" was a ghost domain ruled by the Demon King of All Beings, said to be one of the many powerful ghost domains of the Dark World.

This time, the Tianyuan Ancient Academy had crossed paths with this "Ghost Skin Domain of All Beings," which was why several Vice Presidents, including the President, were all absent from the academy.

A confrontation at this level was almost top-tier; in a sense, this was a war between two King-level powers.

However, as a core member of the Academy Alliance, the Tianyuan Ancient Academy had always been neutral, not contending with outsiders; their goal had always been to block the advance of aberrant beings.

And this was also the main reason why other top powers held the Academy Alliance in such high regard.

Because the more top-tier a power, the more it understood the terror and might of aberrant beings. The Academy Alliance bore a heavy burden for countless living beings, resisting the erosion of the Dark World in the shadows—and no matter how one looked at it, this was worthy of admiration.

"The commotion this time has actually gotten this big." Vice President Qing Man said solemnly.

"That 'Little Chen Heaven' is far too tempting. This spatial zone is an extension of the 'Wang Hou Battlefield.' If it hadn't been discovered, it would have been fine—we could use the tendrils of the Phase Force Tree to cover it and gradually develop it. But unfortunately, in the end, it drew the attention of the 'Demon King of All Beings,' which was closest to this place." Lan Lan Lingzi said calmly.

"It planted evil thoughts, corrupting one of our academy's mentors, causing their skin to undergo mutation, rejecting and separating from their flesh and blood. Then the skin gained spiritual intelligence and fled, leaking the intelligence of 'Little Chen Heaven' to the 'Demon King of All Beings.'"

Both Vice Presidents Wu Yu and Qing Man furrowed their brows. The methods of these aberrant kings were truly unfathomably sinister, and the "Demon King of All Beings" was especially so. Once corrupted by it, one's own skin would develop a strange spiritual intelligence, then reject one's flesh and blood.

Facing such an eerie existence, sometimes even a Marquis-level powerhouse, if they fell for it, would unknowingly find their skin out of control, and then suddenly find themselves turned into a skinless person with mangled flesh and blood.

"What is the plan now? Have you returned because the President has instructions?" Vice President Wu Yu asked.

Lan Lan Lingzi nodded, but answered with an unrelated question: "It's the academy-level evaluation now, isn't it? All the Sacred Academies have sent their best teams here?"

Vice President Wu Yu's face twitched, then he nodded unnaturally.

"Have the results come out? Which academy obtained the first-class quota?" Lan Lan Lingzi asked.

Vice President Wu Yu's expression remained blank, but Vice President Qing Man beside him chuckled lightly and said, "The most outstanding first-class quota this time was obtained by the Sacred Mystic Star Academy."

Lan Lan Lingzi initially showed no reaction, but after a few breaths, she suddenly raised her head, and a hint of surprise and doubt finally appeared in her eyes.

She stared at Vice President Wu Yu.

"The Sacred Mystic Star Academy? The one Old Pang is stationed at?"
