Chapter 299: The Teleportation Array Opens

Don't be certain that was just angry talk.

After all, that "Holy Grail War" happens to be right before the great changes at the Luolan Mansion, and Li Luo did indeed need some special power at that time to shift the situation, and the Three-Tail Heavenly Wolf was the best opportunity.

Li Luo was even wondering if Pang Qianyuan also knew about the dire situation the Luolan Mansion would face in half a year, which is why he dangled such a big carrot to keep him firmly in his grasp.

However, wanting to let the Astral Sage College win that so-called Dragon Bone Holy Grail seems, for now, to be extremely difficult.

Li Luo asked with a bitter face: "Then do you think the Astral Sage College has any chance of winning the championship in this Holy Grail War?"

Jiang Qing nodded and said: "There is still a chance to win the championship, and it should be even greater than in previous years."

"Why?"

A faint smile appeared in Jiang Qing's eyes as she said: "Because this time, the Astral Sage College has me."

Li Luo looked at Jiang Qing in shock; he had never seen anyone so arrogant. Just because of your existence, the probability of the Astral Sage College winning the championship is higher?

Yet, this statement didn't seem wrong at all.

Over the years, Jiang Qing has repeatedly broken many records at the Astral Sage College. To put it bluntly, she is becoming the most outstanding student the Astral Sage College has seen in a hundred years, so with her presence, the probability of the Astral Sage College winning this Holy Grail War would indeed be higher than before.

Li Luo's expression was complex; damn it, she really showed off.

"However..."

"The mechanism of the Holy Grail War is quite complex; it is not something that can be won by relying on one person alone. So even with me, I can only say the probability is a bit higher," Jiang Qing added.

Immediately, her gaze turned to Li Luo, and she said thoughtfully: "If we add you, perhaps the probability will be even higher."

"I can be useful too?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

Jiang Qing was amused by him and said: "So in your own estimation, you have no use? When did you start looking down on yourself so much?"

Li Luo said helplessly: "That's not what I meant, of course... I mean I am only a freshman in the One-Star Hall. The gap between me and you seniors is too large. In this kind of situation, what use could I be?"

He currently only has the strength of the Third Pattern of the Resonance Pattern Stage, while Jiang Qing is already at the Earth Fiend General stage, and even the top students in the college like the Princess and Gong Shenjun are already at the Heaven Dipper General stage.

The gap between these is truly too vast.

"The Holy Grail War is not as simple as you think. I have already said that its mechanism is quite complex. Students from the four star halls of each college will have their own positions. After all, the Holy Grail War is meant to inspect the quality of students from various colleges. Do you think students from the One-Star Hall and Two-Star Hall don't have the qualifications to be inspected? They are the fresh blood of a college," Jiang Qing explained patiently.

"As far as I know, previous Holy Grail Wars have been divided into two stages. Let's not talk about the second stage for now; this first stage is the Inter-Hall Battle."

"That is to say, participating students from the same star hall across various colleges will be assigned together. Finally, after layers of screening, a batch of the strongest individuals will remain, which are called Ace Students."

"These Ace Students are all able to earn championship points."

"And the final ownership of the Dragon Bone Holy Grail belongs to the college with the highest championship points."

Jiang Qing smiled slightly at Li Luo and said: "In other words, if you can win the title of Ace Student of the One-Star Hall at that time, you will also be able to earn a significant amount of championship points."

Li Luo suddenly realized; so it was a competition with a divisional mechanism. In that case, he did indeed have the qualifications to participate.

After all, as he is now, if we talk about strength, in the entire One-Star Hall of the Astral Sage College, I'm afraid only Qin Zhulu can contend with him. I just don't know if there are people as fierce as Qin Zhulu or even fiercer in the One-Star Halls of other Sage Colleges?

It is highly probable that they exist, otherwise the Astral Sage College wouldn't have failed to win the Dragon Bone Holy Grail for over thirty years.

However, there is still some time before the Holy Grail War, so there is no need to rush, because during this period, Li Luo still has plenty of time to continue improving himself.

With these thoughts, Li Luo gradually calmed down and put the matter of the Holy Grail War aside.

Just at this moment, Li Luo and Jiang Qing suddenly heard cheers erupting within the outpost, and immediately after, they felt the ground of the outpost vibrate slightly as powerful energy fluctuations appeared in the center of the outpost.

Jiang Qing stood up first and said: "It seems the teleportation array has been activated."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo also let out a long sigh of relief and said: "Finally, I can leave this hellhole."

Counting the time, they had been in this Dark Cave for nearly a month. The mental pressure endured over this month was simply inhuman, especially for Li Luo, who had been running around to relieve the outpost these past few days; it was truly heart-stopping.

During that period, if there had been even the slightest mistake, not only would he be gone, but this outpost would likely be littered with corpses.

Now that the crisis at the outpost is resolved and the teleportation array has been reopened, presumably the college will clear out Outpost 13 for a period of time, and they, these people, should also be returning to the college.

It will be a chance to take a breather.

"I wonder if the Dean has conveyed my request..."

Li Luo muttered. What he was referring to was naturally the 100, 00 points. Although they had a bountiful harvest in the Dark Cave this time, if he and Jiang Qing combined their points, they might not have enough to reach 100, 00. But Li Luo clearly didn't want to consume Jiang Qing's points, because she, too, needed these points to exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources.

The high tower in the center of the outpost.

As two purple-robed figures walked out from the brilliant light erupting from the teleportation array, the instructors waiting in the tower all let out sighs of relief.

"Instructor Xi Chan."

"Instructor Shen Jinxiao." They greeted them respectfully one after another.

Instructor Xi Chan had her face covered with a thin veil. Although her expression couldn't be seen clearly, her tightly furrowed brows revealed her inner anxiety. Previously, she had received the notification and immediately retreated from the depths of the Dark Cave, rushing over to provide support.

After all, Li Luo's team was at this outpost; if anything happened to them, her entire group would be wiped out.

As for Shen Jinxiao, he had just returned to the college, and then the college dispatched the two of them to rush over via the teleportation array.

Instructor Xi Chan walked out of the teleportation array. When she saw that the stone tower was still standing, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, as this meant the outpost had not been completely breached, which was somewhat surprising.

Then she saw Gong Shenjun and the Princess at the entrance of the stone tower.

A look of joy appeared in Instructor Xi Chan's eyes. The Princess and Gong Shenjun had actually appeared here; with them present, presumably even a Great Disaster-class Otherkind could be resolved.

"Shenjun, Luanyu, since you are here, presumably that Great Disaster Otherkind has already been resolved, right?" The first to speak was Shen Jinxiao. He looked at the two of them, his face showing some signs of relief.

Both the Princess and Gong Shenjun nodded.

"Were there any casualties at the outpost?" Shen Jinxiao asked with a worried expression.

The Princess said: "There were some casualties, but it is still within a controllable range."

Shen Jinxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time, it is thanks to you two arriving in time; otherwise, I'm afraid it would have led to a great disaster. Rest assured, the college will definitely reward you."

The Princess's charming and moving face stiffened slightly, and then she sighed.

"Instructor Shen, Luanyu dare not take the credit. Actually, when I arrived, the trouble here had already been resolved by Li Luo."

And when the Princess said these words, the Xi Chan and Shen Jinxiao in front of her were dazed for a moment, and then their eyes widened in unison.

(EDG is truly awesome.)
