Chapter 111: New Student Power Ranking

Regarding Seeing Yu Lang's wild antics, Li Luo had built up some immunity by now, so he quickly sobered up from the convoluted tale, shook his head with a complicated expression, and then opened the so-called New Student Power Ranking.

The moment the booklet was opened, a portrait came into view—a youth with shoulder-length hair and somewhat swarthy skin, yet his eyes radiated a chilling, ferocious aura, like a fierce beast emerging from the depths of the wild mountains.

On his face were several markings, resembling the stripes of a tiger, which only amplified his murderous aura to the extreme.

Like a humanoid fierce tiger.

Li Luo stared at the portrait, his pupils contracting slightly, his expression growing solemn. Even if the youth in the picture wasn't real, he still gave Li Luo an immense sense of danger.

Li Luo's gaze swept down, and beneath the portrait was information on the tiger-like youth.

"Qin Qin Zhulu, from the Western Regions Prefecture's Western Regions Academy. His father is the Grand General of Da Xia, Qin Zhenjiang."

"This person possesses an Upper Eight Affinity Rank, the Gold-Devouring Demon Tiger Affinity. His strength is suspected to be at the second stage of the Affinity Master realm, the Pattern Birth stage. The Western Regions Prefecture is a frontier region of Da Xia, rife with constant conflict. Qin Qin Zhulu grew up in the military from a young age, steeped in slaughter and battle, forging a ferocious, battle-hungry personality, like a fierce tiger."

"Such strength can be called the number one new student of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy!"

After reading this information, Li Luo said slowly, "What a ferocious Qin Qin Zhulu."

Upper Eight Affinity Rank, Pattern Birth stage of Affinity Force.

This was the highest Affinity Rank Li Luo had ever encountered, aside from Jiang Jiang Qinge. Moreover, this fellow had actually already reached the second stage of the Affinity Master realm... such cultivation speed was quite astonishing, after all, Li Luo himself had only just completed his breakthrough to the first stage of the Affinity Master realm.

Just by looking at his face, one could tell his ferocity was terrifying—he had clearly truly slain many enemies. Compared to him, many new students of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy were as soft and harmless as little white rabbits.

"Qin Qin Zhulu, I've heard of him. This person doesn't interact with anyone at all, his personality is reclusive and ferocious. In his eyes there is only battle, nothing else. It's said his catchphrase is... women only slow down my chopping speed." Lü Qing'er also drew closer, bringing with her a faint fragrance. She gazed at Qin Qin Zhulu's portrait, her pretty face extremely solemn and wary as she spoke.

Li Luo was stunned, shook his head and said, "He's truly too barbaric! No girl will ever like him like this."

"That's not necessarily true. This Qin Qin Zhulu actually has quite a good reputation among the girls at the Western Regions Academy. For some unknown reason, although he shows no mercy whatsoever when fighting men and is exceptionally vicious, when facing the opposite sex he always stops at just the right point. In fact, I've heard he's somewhat afraid of women."

Li Luo was shocked, and even Seeing Yu Lang and the others looked over in astonishment: "Afraid of women?"

A person who looks like a god of death... is actually afraid of women?!

Zhao Kuo shook his head with some sympathy and said, "Looks like he'll have to stay single his whole life. The Grand General's household will have no heirs?"

Seeing Yu Lang was silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, Li Luo, you'd better be careful. A person like this, if he's afraid of women, might have some alternative tastes. You're so handsome, there's a high chance you'll be targeted."

Li Luo's mouth twitched, and he silently felt at his waist—where's my knife?

Lü Qing'er shot Seeing Yu Lang a glance and said, "Someone once evaluated him: his ferocity rivals that of a Wang Hou spiritual beast."

"That evaluation is quite apt." Li Luo sighed. He had never seen a Wang Hou-level spiritual beast, but the ferocity emanating from Qin Qin Zhulu's brows and eyes gave him a suffocating feeling.

"Your booklet is getting more and more refined—now it even comes with portraits." Li Luo looked at Seeing Yu Lang again and praised.

This time the booklet Seeing Yu Lang produced was clearly more polished than the one from the Tianshu Prefecture Academy Grand Examination.

"It's all because my friend's information was quite complete." Seeing Yu Lang said modestly.

Li Luo rolled his eyes. What damn friend—this was clearly information obtained through extortion. That "friend" probably had the urge to silence him permanently when handing over the materials.

Li Luo ignored the fellow and continued flipping through.

"New student number two, Wang Wang Hejiu, from the Wang Family of Da Xia, one of the most ancient noble clans of Da Xia with profound foundations. He possesses a Lower Eight Affinity Rank, the Poison Affinity, suspected to be at the Seed Opening stage, Upper Heavy Flower Seed realm strength."

The youth named Wang Wang Hejiu had narrow, squinting eyes, a smiling face, and held a jade-green folding fan. He looked quite sunny, yet who would have guessed that the Affinity he possessed was the rather rare Poison Affinity.

This kind of Affinity would cause the Affinity Force cultivated from it to carry deadly poison. Once it invaded a person's body, it would cause tremendous destructive damage.

"Worthy of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy... these new students are no simple characters." Li Luo sighed again. The youth named Wang Wang Hejiu was clearly no pushover.

"New student number three, Bai Bai Doudou, from Hanshan Academy in Gusu Prefecture. The Bai Family she belongs to is also one of the top noble clans of Da Xia. She possesses a Lower Eight Affinity Rank, the Wind Affinity, suspected to be at the Seed Opening stage, Upper Heavy Flower Seed realm strength."

This Bai Bai Doudou was a girl with ear-length short hair. Her looks could only be described as pretty and neat, but a cold, piercing glint shone in her eyes—clearly not the easy-going type.

"New student number four, Duze Duze Beixuan, from the Da Xia Academy. He is also the young master of the Duze Prefecture, one of the Five Great Prefectures of Da Xia. He possesses a Lower Eight Affinity Rank, the Lan Kun Affinity, suspected to be at the Seed Opening stage, Upper Heavy Flower Seed realm strength." This person was not unfamiliar to Li Luo, after all, they had already met at the Golden Dragon Treasure House.

"..."

"New student number seven, Student Xin Fu, from the Dark Sea Prefecture's Dark Academy. He possesses an Upper Seven Affinity Rank, the Shadow Affinity, Seed Opening stage, Lower Heavy Flower Seed realm strength." This person possessed a rare Shadow Affinity, so Li Luo paid extra attention, but nothing could be discerned from the portrait, because this person wore a black hood, his entire figure seemingly hidden in shadow, giving off a very mysterious air.

"......"

Li Luo continued reading and found that everyone in the top ten was at least at the Flower Seed realm. At the thirteenth position he saw Si Si Qiuying, and finally at the nineteenth position he saw his own information, while Lü Qing'er was at twentieth.

"Truly a place where dragons and tigers lie hidden." After finishing the booklet, Li Luo smiled. Affinities like the Poison Affinity and Shadow Affinity were quite rare—he had never encountered them before, and now he had finally broadened his horizons.

"Your booklet is truly not bad. You should be able to make a profit off this." Li Luo said with a smile to Seeing Yu Lang. This information was indeed quite important to him.

"You're too kind." Seeing Yu Lang said with a grin, though it was obvious he was quite satisfied with this masterpiece of his.

Lü Qing'er shook her head and said, "If you could put this kind of effort into cultivation, you'd probably have reached Ten Seals by now."

Seeing Yu Lang was currently still at the Nine Seal level, and Zhao Kuo was even lower at only Eight Seals. But Zhao Kuo had never slackened in his cultivation—it was just that he only possessed a Five Affinity Rank, which limited his rate of improvement.

Seeing Yu Lang gave a dry laugh, then winked mysteriously at Li Luo and said, "You think this is my best work this time?"

"What else is there?" Li Luo said in surprise.

Seeing Yu Lang said, "What do you guys think new students entering the Sacred Mystic Star Academy care about most?"

"Isn't it just who's the strongest?" Xiang Liang said boldly.

"Wrong!"

Seeing Yu Lang shook his head and said with a beaming smile, "Don't you guys want to pay attention to which female classmate among the new students is the prettiest?"

Xiang Liang and the others' eyes immediately lit up—that was a good point. Honestly, who was the strongest had nothing to do with them; they had no chance of competing for that anyway. But as for which female classmate was the prettiest, now that was interesting.

Seeing Yu Lang carefully pulled out another booklet from his chest and proudly announced, "This is my painstaking masterpiece of this period—the Sacred Mystic Star Academy New Student Looks Ranking!"

Li Luo frowned and said in a low voice, "Seeing Yu Lang, I have to criticize you here. We came to the Sacred Mystic Star Academy to cultivate. You need to be careful with these crooked tricks of yours."

"Let me see it first. I'll help you critique it."

He reached out and snatched the booklet from Seeing Yu Lang's hands.

Swish.

Zhao Kuo, Xiang Liang, and Zong Fu immediately appeared behind him.

Li Luo slowly opened the booklet, and a list came into view. When Li Luo saw the name at the top of the list, he immediately fell silent.

The three people behind him silently sat back down, and the looks they cast at Seeing Yu Lang were filled with admiration. Damn it, they'd seen people who knew how to court death, but they'd truly never seen anyone who could court death to this extent.

Because they saw it clearly—the number one spot on the New Student Looks Ranking was... the young master of House Luolan House, Li Luo!

Feelings—this thing even factors in a man's looks?

Li Luo slowly set down the booklet and glanced at Yu Lang with a smile.

Yu Lang's hair stood on end under Li Luo's gaze. He gave a dry laugh and said, "Brother Luo, this looks ranking doesn't distinguish between men and women. With your handsomeness, you've got to be first!"

Li Luo said with a smile, "I heard today's treat is on you?"

Yu Lang nodded with a dry laugh, a little uneasy inside.

Li Luo slammed his palm hard on the table, his shout like thunder.

"Boss, bring out your store's treasure, that hundred-year Emerald Silk—every last bit of it!"
