Chapter 113: The Day School Starts

After the gathering that night, Li Luo once again immersed himself in the world of resonance art cultivation. Time passed just like that, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the opening of the Astral Sage College had arrived.

However, it is worth mentioning that during these past few days, Li Luo refined a large amount of spirit water and wondrous light to evolve his second resonance, and now, his Wood-Earth resonance has leaped directly from the first grade to the fourth grade.

A Wood-Earth resonance of this grade can finally be considered somewhat useful.

As of now, Li Luo’s strength is, in a sense, already quite decent: he has the strength of a first-stage Resonance Master of the White Seed, his first resonance palace possesses a sixth-grade Water-Light resonance, and his second resonance palace possesses a fourth-grade Wood-Earth resonance.

With both resonance palaces operating simultaneously, the two resonance power seeds refine and absorb the energy of heaven and earth, not only making Li Luo’s own cultivation speed even more rapid than before, but also making his resonance power limit much higher than those of the same level.

It can be said that the current Li Luo has only just begun to experience the benefits brought by multiple resonance palaces.

And with all these enhancements, Li Luo feels that in the Tutor Selection Tournament, finding a Purple-Eye Tutor shouldn't be too difficult, right?

The Great Xia City was exceptionally boisterous today, because today was the opening day of the Astral Sage College.

Although the Astral Sage College is not located within Great Xia City, the city is less than half a day's journey from the college; in terms of its radius of influence, the Astral Sage College is still considered to be within the region of Great Xia City.

Therefore, Great Xia City is one of the necessary paths to reach the Astral Sage College, and since this place is the center of Great Xia, it attracts students from all walks of life to stop here.

The Astral Sage College holds a transcendent status in the Great Xia Kingdom, and any move it makes will attract the constant attention of all parties; this new student enrollment is even more of a top priority, because these new students represent the most outstanding fresh blood of this generation in the Great Xia Kingdom, and in the future, there is no telling how many Marquis-level powerhouses might emerge from among them.

If one can make some investments in this early on, the returns obtained in the future will be beyond imagination.

While Great Xia City was boiling over the opening of the Astral Sage College, the carriage of the Luolan Mansion was already speeding along the wide road, heading toward the distant horizon.

"The Astral Sage College is located to the southwest of Great Xia City, built against the Gukun Great Mountain Range. You should know about this Gukun Great Mountain Range; it is the largest and longest mountain range in Great Xia, and it almost split the entire territory of Great Xia in two. Countless essence beasts live in the Gukun Great Mountain Range; it can be said that over half of the essence beasts in all of Great Xia are in this Gukun Great Mountain Range, and in its depths, there even exist King-level essence beasts, so even Marquis-level powerhouses dare not venture too deep into it." In the speeding carriage, Jiang Qing’e was providing Li Luo with some basic knowledge about the Astral Sage College.

"However, for the Astral Sage College, the Gukun Great Mountain Range is also a natural training ground used to hone students. The college even issues tasks to explore the Gukun Great Mountain Range for students to complete as a form of tempering and cultivation," Yan Lingqing, who was at the side, also added while adjusting her silver-rimmed glasses.

She and Jiang Qing’e are currently both students of the Three-Star Academy of the Astral Sage College. Previously, they were at Xiyang House more to hone themselves, but now that school has started, they naturally have to return to the college for a period of time.

"You will slowly come into contact with this information in the future, but for new students like you, the most important thing today is the so-called Tutor Selection Tournament. As I said before, this is the most important thing for entering the Astral Sage College. At the very least, until you reach the Three-Star Academy, your tutor will be your guide and supporter."

Jiang Qing’e stared at Li Luo with her golden eyes and said slowly, "Li Luo, do not underestimate the status of being a student of the Astral Sage College, and do not underestimate the status of being a student of a Purple-Eye Tutor. In a sense, it is not much less significant than your status as the Young Mansion Master of the Luolan Mansion."

"Because this represents that behind them, there is a Marquis-level powerhouse."

"The current situation of the Luolan Mansion within Great Xia is precarious. I possess a ninth-grade Light resonance, and everyone knows that my potential is extraordinary, but have they never had the intention to wipe me out in advance?"

"It is not that they do not want to, but that they dare not."

"Because my excellence and potential are highly valued even by the Astral Sage College. Under these circumstances, no one dares to use unconventional means to assassinate me. They can only choose the most open and above-board ways to deal with me, and as long as I withstand these, there will naturally be opportunities for a counterattack in the future."

"So Li Luo, after entering the Astral Sage College, you must show your potential and make the college's top brass value you; this will be the greatest guarantee for yourself."

Li Luo looked at Jiang Qing’e’s somewhat serious, stunningly beautiful face and nodded gently. The Luolan Mansion is a piece of fat meat that involves huge interests, and under such interests, there is no shortage of people who will take risks; even assassination is not rare. To prevent these, becoming a student of a Purple-Eye Tutor is clearly the safest way.

"Don't worry, I will do my best in this Tutor Selection Tournament."

Yan Lingqing, who was at the side, rested her chin on her hand and smiled, "Qing’e, it is truly rare to see you being this long-winded."

She then turned her head to look at Li Luo and said, "You possess a Water resonance. After your studies get on the right track, if you want to try to minor in Resonance Tempering at the Resonance Tempering Academy, you can come to me, and I will recommend you."

Li Luo smiled and said, "Then I will thank you in advance, Sister Lingqing."

"When we arrive at the Astral Sage College later, Lingqing will take you to report and then prepare for the Tutor Selection Tournament. This is considered a grand event at the Astral Sage College today, and even the heads of top forces from Great Xia City will personally attend to watch," Jiang Qing’e said.

"You aren't taking me?" Li Luo asked.

"Do you really want to choose a hellish start? If you don't mind, I really don't care," a smile appeared on Jiang Qing’e’s stunningly beautiful face.

Li Luo paused and said sheepishly, "Forget it, let me develop a bit before I go wild."

He naturally understood what Jiang Qing’e meant. Given her popularity at the Astral Sage College, if the two of them appeared too close, it would likely bring some "unwarranted disasters" upon Li Luo.

Although this is a bit like burying one's head in the sand, it is better to avoid provoking people if possible.

Li Luo also did not want to walk into the college and get ambushed for no reason.

Seeing Li Luo’s sheepish appearance, Yan Lingqing could not help but giggle, and even the corners of Jiang Qing’e’s lips curved slightly.

The carriage sped along, and two or three hours later, Li Luo heard the noise outside the carriage begin to grow boisterous.

Sensing something, he lifted the carriage curtain and looked toward the end of the main road.

There, he saw a towering mountain rising from the ground, and behind the mountain were endless, lush mountain ranges. An aura of wild antiquity surged into the sky from within, giving one a sense of grandeur.

In front of the mountain, stone steps led all the way up, as if leading directly to the clouds. At the very end of the stone steps was a gateway cast from white jade, upon which stars seemed to be blooming with wondrous light. Five characters appeared, and those characters radiated an endless sense of weightiness, while at the same time, an inexplicable pressure was released, as if even this world had been suppressed by it.

Astral Sage College.

"The handwriting on this gateway was written by a King-level powerhouse," Jiang Qing’e’s leisurely voice came from behind Li Luo.

Li Luo’s heart trembled. A King-level powerhouse...

He looked at the five characters that seemed to possess vitality; just the traces left by the writing seemed to possess spirit and energy, full of spirituality.

It is hard to imagine what kind of vast power the person who wrote it possessed.

It really makes one... yearn for it.

A flash of burning heat crossed Li Luo’s eyes, and then he looked at the vast college building complex that was looming at the end of the stone steps, with anticipation welling up in his heart.

He felt that his life would begin its true chapter right here.
