Chapter 368: The Curtain Falls on the Dojo

When Lu Qinger obtained the Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Token on the summit of this peak, the golden light that had been shooting into the sky gradually dissipated, signifying that the battle for the mountain-visiting token on this peak had reached its conclusion.

Among the five sub-peaks on Golden Dragon Peak where mountain-visiting tokens had descended, this was the only one where the battle had ended first.

Therefore, as the golden light dissipated, it drew many gazes of astonishment from afar.

They all knew that this sub-peak had previously been claimed by the strongest, Lin Suo, and everyone had fresh memories of this formidable enemy who had reached the Third Transformation of the Phase Transformation Stage; after all, other teams had previously tried to rely on their numbers to attack Lin Suo, but they were ultimately crushed by him.

It was precisely because Lin Suo had displayed sufficient strength that the other top teams tacitly accepted his qualification to dominate a peak alone.

So, when many people saw that the outcome had been decided here, their first thought was that Lin Suo was indeed formidable.

However, not long after the battle involving Li Luo and his group reached its conclusion, the battles on the other four peaks were also gradually coming to an end.

Four golden pillars of light vanished one by one.

With this, the five Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Tokens were completely claimed.

At this moment, all five mountain-visiting tokens bloomed with light, standing like stars at the summits of the peaks, drawing the attention of the masses.

Li Luo gazed toward the other four summits and saw some familiar figures there; Gu Ying, Zhao Ziyang... the teams led by these two had both obtained a mountain-visiting token, which was not very surprising, as their strength was already considered top-tier.

However, although Li Luo was not surprised that Zhao Ziyang, Gu Ying, and the others had obtained the tokens, when the latter and their companions discovered the three of them standing on this summit, they could not help but change color, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How could they be the ones who obtained the mountain-visiting token? What about Lin Suo?!"

They were all shocked; after all, the peak where Li Luo and his group were located was where Lin Suo had been, and now that Li Luo and his group had obtained the token, what about Lin Suo? The result was self-evident...

Lin Suo had been defeated.

"How could they possibly have won?!" Zhao Ziyang's expression shifted, and he could not help but exclaim.

He knew Lin Suo's strength very well because he had fought him before; the strength of the Third Transformation of the Phase Transformation Stage was a cut above his own. Although he would not fear the opponent if he utilized the strength of his teammates, a real fight could only be described as a result where both sides suffered, so he had always been unwilling to make an enemy of Lin Suo, even though the latter had ruined the Golden Dragon Qi, causing them to be unable to continue enjoying the Treasure Basin.

Yet now, Lin Suo had actually lost to that "Yu Lang" team?

How was this done? That Lin Suo was of a patient and cunning nature, and he did not seem like someone who would underestimate his opponent.

Gu Ying's pretty face was similarly grave; she would not believe that Lin Suo had intentionally feigned weakness, because for others, failing to snatch a mountain-visiting token might just mean losing an opportunity, but for Lin Suo, this could mean losing his life... That Lu Qinger was the eldest young lady of the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasure Bank, and Lin Suo's attempt to destroy her Golden Dragon Qi was such a vicious act that once he returned to Great Xia, it would inevitably provoke the fury of Lu Qinger's parents.

Therefore, if Lin Suo wanted to save his life, he had to use the mountain-visiting token to teleport to another place.

Now that he had lost the mountain-visiting token, he would be teleported back the way he came... one could imagine what kind of ending awaited him.

And yet, it was precisely under these circumstances that Lin Suo had still lost.

This could only mean that it was not that Lin Suo was useless... but that the opponent had displayed power sufficient to crush him.

Yet those three, Lu Qinger and the others, were clearly only at the strength of the Pattern-Birth Stage.

Gu Ying's eyes flickered, and in her mind flashed the image of that youth called "Yu Lang," who was as elegant as jade. If one had to say who among the three was the most unfathomable, it would certainly be this person... and her intuition also told her that in Lin Suo's failure this time, this "Yu Lang" likely played the biggest role.

Possessing dual phases... this was not more common than a Ninth-Grade Phase.

"Yu Lang..."

Gu Ying and Zhao Ziyang were both muttering this name under their breaths, while at the same time, a look of wariness rose in their eyes.

This Yu Lang was from the Great Xia Astral Sage College, and the end of the year would see the "Holy Grail Battle," which was most valued by the many top colleges on this Shenzhou Continent. Although this Yu Lang was only in the First Star Academy, he had already begun to show his mettle. With the abilities he had displayed now, he would inevitably be the center of attention at the Holy Grail Battle, and he would also become a formidable rival for their respective colleges.

"It seems that after returning this time, I must tell the college about this intelligence. When the time comes for the Holy Grail Battle, if we encounter this 'Yu Lang' from the Astral Sage College, it is best to find an opportunity to eliminate him first, so as to avoid complications."

At this moment, on and around this Golden Dragon Peak, many people who came from various colleges had nearly identical thoughts in their hearts.

It could be foreseen that in the near future, the name "Yu Lang" would surely spread widely among the various colleges of the Eastern Divine Continent.

And it was just as many people were marking the name "Yu Lang" as a major enemy in their hearts that this world suddenly shook violently. They saw that in the sky, energy vortices were gradually taking shape, and then, pillars of energy light began to descend.

Within each pillar of light, a team was enveloped.

"This is to teleport us out of the Golden Dragon Dojo." Lu Qinger lifted her pretty face and then said to Li Luo and Qin Zhulu.

"The final step is coming, isn't it?" A thick sense of anticipation rose in Li Luo's eyes.

The final step he spoke of was naturally that so-called "Dojo Gold Empowerment"!

At the moment of leaving the Golden Dragon Dojo, the Dojo Gold remaining in their hands would form a type of energy, which would then perform an energy empowerment on them, allowing their strength to reach a higher level.

It could be said that this was the most anticipated segment in the Golden Dragon Dojo, aside from the Treasure Pool.

At Li Luo's feet lay the unconscious Lin Suo. This guy also had some Dojo Gold left, but because of the rules of the Golden Dragon Dojo, Dojo Gold could not be plundered, so in the end, it could only benefit him.

The energy pillars descended from the sky, and a suction force erupted from above. The figures of Li Luo, Lu Qinger, Qin Zhulu, and the unconscious Lin Suo all began to rise into the air at this moment.

Looking out, the mountains and plains were filled with pillars of light, containing many figures within them, which was quite spectacular.

And as the figures continued to rise, Li Luo's mind stirred, and he saw that from his space ball, streaks of golden light suddenly flew out; these were precisely the Dojo Gold he had obtained.

Each piece of Dojo Gold began to self-ignite at this moment, with golden flames rising.

At the same time, streaks of heaven and earth energy were drawn, gathering around these burning pieces of Dojo Gold, finally appearing like mysterious fire clusters. The fire clusters danced like fireflies, whistling toward Li Luo's body.

Seeing this, Li Luo did not panic; instead, he closed his eyes, filled with anticipation.

As soon as the golden fire clusters touched his body, they merged into it without a sound.

Vigorous and pure energy erupted within Li Luo's body at this moment, forming a brilliant cluster of light that completely enveloped him.

And if one were to look up from below at this time, one would be able to see the sky filled with dazzling clusters of light, as if stars were shining.

The light clusters continued to rise, finally disappearing into the rotating energy vortex, and everything vanished along with it.

In just a short time, less than half an incense stick, the boiling human voices here disappeared, and the mountains and plains were left in complete silence.

Only the mess covering the ground served as proof of the clamor and fierce battle that had taken place here earlier.
