This elimination system would inevitably keep weeding out those with insufficient ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Luo, you’ve finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Kuo saw Li Luo, he hurried over and said, \"One of your two matches today won't be easy. It’s Yu Lang from the First Hall. Do you remember him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Lang?\" Li Luo thought for a moment and nodded. This person had some fame in the First Hall, his strength always hovering around the top ten or so. It was said he possessed a sixth-grade Wind Resonance and was known for his incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy has already reached the Seventh Seal; he’s much stronger than Bei Kun,\" Zhao Kuo said with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Seventh Seal, huh...\" Li Luo smacked his lips. This was indeed trickier than yesterday’s opponent, but it should still be within the range of what he could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder and smiled. \"Don't worry, I’m confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Kuo said no more. After all, he knew Li Luo’s character; if he truly felt he couldn't win, he wouldn't be putting on a brave front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as the two were talking, a student from the Second Hall suddenly came over and whispered, \"Brother Luo, someone is looking for you outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was a bit puzzled, but he walked out anyway. Under the shade of a tree, he saw a youth with shoulder-length hair who looked rather devil-may-care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo recognized him at a glance; it was the very opponent he would face today, Yu Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came to find me?\" Li Luo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang brushed the bangs hanging in front of his face and looked at Li Luo with deep, intense eyes. \"Li Luo, I didn't expect that after so long, you’ve actually risen again. You truly are the man who once dominated the Nanfeng Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo let out a breath and said irritably, \"Don't say such stupid things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang asked with some dissatisfaction, \"What’s stupid about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he curled his lip and said, \"You’ll meet me this afternoon. Song Yunfeng came to me and offered a high price, wanting me to do my best to injure you today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was stunned, then smiled. \"Are you here to tip me off? Or are you planning to collect from both sides?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, although I, Yu Lang, am a bit of a drifter, I still have my bottom line. You taught me Resonance Arts back then, so I owe you a favor,\" Yu Lang said dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just here to warn you: if we fight this afternoon and you really aren't my match, then hurry and jump off the stage. Of course, I’m not ruling out that you’re a freak who hides his depth too well, and I end up being the one who isn't your match. In that case, just cooperate and let me leave the stage 'seriously injured.' That way, I can still collect a subsidy from Song Yunfeng—after all, that guy is a real sucker, and the price he offered isn't low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I only added that last part just to be safe, but I don't think it'll be necessary. Li Luo, you have no idea; I am no longer the man who used to trip over his own pants being too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Li Luo’s composure was quite good, he was still blinded by Yu Lang’s performance. In the end, he could only say helplessly, \"You really are a piece of work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why I’m planning to go find the teacher and report you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was Yu Lang’s turn to be dumbfounded. He cursed, \"Li Luo, are you a beast? Is it easy for me to earn some money? Does a young master like you understand our hardships?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, get lost, get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo rubbed his brow and waved him away. He hadn't seen this guy in a long time, and he was still such a weirdo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang snorted, tossed his shoulder-length hair, and turned to leave with a flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo watched his back and waved his hand. \"Although the information isn't worth much, thanks anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang’s footsteps paused, and a snort drifted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, take care of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Lang left, Li Luo frowned. Song Yunfeng’s hostility toward him was becoming increasingly intense. Lu Qinger was likely the main reason, but part of it was also the grudge between the Song family and the Luolan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve clearly been keeping such a low profile...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you still have to come and provoke me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning match had been too smooth, so there was nothing to say about it. Soon it was afternoon, and as expected, Li Luo faced Yu Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battle stage, Yu Lang’s shoulder-length hair swayed in the wind. He looked at Li Luo in front of him with a cold expression. \"Li Luo, meeting me is your misfortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area around the stage was packed with spectators. They were quite interested in this match, as it was the first strong opponent Li Luo had encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was clearly a bit helpless regarding Yu Lang, this drama king. He didn't want to get drawn into the other’s act, as it would make him look like an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he could only silently circulate his Resonance Power. An exceptionally pure blue Resonance Power slowly rose from his body, causing the surrounding air to become much more humid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the referee gave the order, the previously posturing Yu Lang suddenly erupted with cyan Resonance Power. In that instant, there was a whistling sound of wind, and Yu Lang’s figure transformed into a shadow, pouncing toward Li Luo like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That speed made Li Luo’s eyes narrow, and gasps of surprise erupted around the stage. Clearly, Yu Lang’s speed was quite fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fist wind, wrapped in a faint cyan light, expanded rapidly in Li Luo’s pupils with the force of a thunderbolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, once the fight started, Yu Lang held nothing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo shifted his feet and turned his fist into a palm, opening it unhurriedly in front of him. As the blue Resonance Power surged, it formed a dense, impenetrable water curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cyan fist wind slammed into the water curtain, splashing ripples everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wahoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange cry rang out. Yu Lang’s figure seemed to form multiple afterimages. These afterimages appeared all around Li Luo, and in that instant, fist shadows and foot shadows wrapped in cyan light, accompanied by the sound of tearing wind, seemed to shroud Li Luo’s entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offensive was exceptionally fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Yu Lang’s violent onslaught, Li Luo remained entirely in a defensive posture, layers of water curtains accompanying the changes in his palms and fists, constantly protecting his vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the crowd around the spectator stand understood that Li Luo intended to drag the fight out. This was not surprising, as Li Luo had a Water Resonance, and the characteristic of Water Resonance power was its endurance; the longer the fight, the more advantageous it was for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Luo is using his high-grade Resonance Art again, Nine-Fold Azure Waves,\" a student with a sharp eye remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Nine-Fold Azure Waves had also been used by Li Luo during his match with Bei Kun. It was extremely suitable for drawn-out battles; as his power stacked up, the eventual counterattack would become particularly astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yu Lang’s strength was greater than Bei Kun’s, and defending against his storm-like offensive would likely not be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wahoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, accompanied by another strange cry from Yu Lang, he curled his two fingers and thrust them out suddenly. Cyan light condensed at his fingertips, seemingly transforming into a cyan glow that flickered in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind Finger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fingertip, seemingly wrapped in gale-force winds, pierced straight through the water curtain defending Li Luo’s body and struck toward his chest like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the force and speed contained in the opponent’s fingertip, Li Luo realized he couldn't dodge, so he took a deep breath of the humid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Water Soft Palm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo struck out with a palm, blue Resonance Power surging over it. Just as they were about to make contact, he suddenly splayed his five fingers, flicking them and stirring the Water Resonance power, forming layers of water vortices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp cyan light contained in Yu Lang’s fingertip was rapidly eroded and stripped away under the layers of water vortices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the Wind Finger passed through the layers of vortices and finally collided with Li Luo’s palm, its power had been quite skillfully neutralized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist and finger collided, Resonance Power clashed, and shockwaves rolled outward. Both Li Luo and Yu Lang’s figures were shaken, and they slid backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clamor arose around the battle stage, and astonished gazes were cast toward Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually neutralized Yu Lang’s strongest attack head-on?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang was a Seventh Seal expert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had Wind Resonance power, which was inherently more ferocious in terms of attack power than Water Resonance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Li Luo’s masterful use of Resonance Arts. He used the Water Soft Palm at the perfect moment to neutralize Yu Lang’s attack. Amazing! The Water Soft Palm is clearly only a mid-grade Resonance Art, yet it made Yu Lang’s Wind Finger, which reached the level of a high-grade Resonance Art, return empty-handed,\" an outstanding student explained and praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Luo’s Resonance Power should be at the Sixth Seal realm. In every aspect, he should be weaker than Yu Lang, yet he’s been able to drag Yu Lang on for so long...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number one in Resonance Arts at Nanfeng Academy—the reputation is well-deserved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the many exclamations, Yu Lang on the stage also curled his lips. The look in his eyes as he stared at Li Luo became much more solemn. In the previous exchange, he hadn't gained any advantage, which was clearly completely different from what he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy really is a freak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang had originally wanted to go easy, but once they started fighting, he realized he didn't even have the qualifications to go easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine; a Li Luo like this was even more interesting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of excitement emerged in Yu Lang’s eyes. The next moment, cyan Resonance Power surged violently, and his figure shot out like the wind, his speed exploding to the limit at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as his speed exploded, he suddenly felt his body lose its sense of balance, and he inexplicably lifted into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang’s expression changed drastically as he looked down, only to see that, at some point, a faint blue Resonance Power had wrapped around his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That blue Resonance Power was like a water snake, binding his feet together, and it was precisely because of this that his body lost its balance when he tried to burst forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang’s pupils constricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo, standing before him, watched the off-balance Yu Lang flying toward him and smiled. \"Low-grade Resonance Art, Water Snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Lang, you were careless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Luo took a step forward and pushed both palms out horizontally. As the Water Resonance power surged, it seemed to bring with it the sound of crashing waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you won't be tripped by your pants being too long anymore, you will be tripped by my Water Snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Luo’s voice, his palms landed directly on Yu Lang’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, Li Luo, you cheated!\" Yu Lang cursed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his cursing, his body flew backward and finally slammed heavily outside the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment he fell, a mouthful of blood sprayed three yards high from Yu Lang’s mouth, and a large amount of blood gushed out from under his clothes, instantly turning him into a bloody mess and causing a panic all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo on the stage was also stunned, then his mouth twitched. This blood volume was too excessive, right? Was this weirdo trying to scam a large sum out of Song Yunfeng and then drop out of school?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2096,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","de9ee78ac6c58f487d46cd4a4fdd2ec3c5c6ccb54ce16d4bdcedf40c39d3459d","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-31","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-29",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
