Chapter 389: End of Special Training

When Li Luo opened his eyes, he discovered that Qin Zhulu, Lu Qinger, and Bai Mengmeng had all finished, and were currently surrounding him, watching him with curiosity.

"Captain, did you successfully break through?" Bai Mengmeng asked with pleasant surprise.

Earlier, they had clearly felt the resonance power fluctuations within Li Luo's body climbing rapidly, and the resonance power flowing across the surface of his body had also become much more refined.

This level of resonance power was no longer something that could be achieved at the Resonance Pattern stage.

Li Luo met their gazes and nodded with a smile; he could indeed be considered to have stepped into the level of the Resonance Transformation stage now, though strictly speaking, he had only completed the breakthrough for his "Wood-Earth resonance," while his "Water-Light resonance" was still at the fifth pattern of the Resonance Pattern stage.

However, there was no rush for that; with the successful breakthrough of the "Wood-Earth resonance," the heaven and earth energy gained from daily cultivation would be prioritized for the "Water-Light resonance," and at that point, the latter's breakthrough would only be a matter of time.

Moreover, when the "Water-Light resonance" broke through, his resonance power would see another major surge; it could be said that as his resonance power level continued to rise, the advantage of having dual resonances would become greater and greater.

"That's great." A joyful smile appeared on Bai Mengmeng's pure and moving face. She also knew that Li Luo had been receiving some criticism within the academy recently because he had been slow to break through to the Resonance Transformation stage. Now that he had completed the breakthrough, these rumors and gossip could finally be put to rest.

"Captain, you've really saved face for our First Star Academy this time." Xin Fu sighed, his words carrying some heartfelt admiration, because they all knew very well that their victory this time was almost entirely due to Li Luo leveraging the overall situation with his own strength, which allowed them to get one step ahead of Wang Hejiu, Ye Qiuding, and the others.

"Everyone's contribution cannot be ignored," Li Luo said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Li Luo, you've become stronger. Although I feel like I've been surpassed by you again, if you want to become the representative of the First Star Academy to face the Blue Abyss Holy Academy, you still have to fight me."

Qin Zhulu stared at Li Luo with burning eyes and said impatiently, "How about now!"

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Qinger looked over with cold eyes and said, "Li Luo just exhausted all his strength and mental energy to pursue extreme speed. Do you think it's fair to fight him now?"

Bai Mengmeng also said in a soft voice, "Captain Qin, taking advantage of someone's precarious state is not good, you know."

"Uh..."

Qin Zhulu's excited expression suddenly stiffened. He actually wanted to say that although Li Luo had indeed pushed himself to the limit earlier, his condition had clearly recovered quite a bit after the breakthrough, so how could this possibly be considered unfair or taking advantage of someone...

Qin Zhulu's mouth twitched, but in the end, he didn't say any words of rebuttal and could only sigh silently; women are truly terrifying.

Li Luo waved his hand and smiled, "This is indeed not the place for a spar. As for the matter of the ticket tournament, let's see what the Purple Glow Tutors have to say first."

Hearing this, Qin Zhulu nodded. He didn't care about the ticket tournament; he just wanted to have a hearty battle with Li Luo to test exactly how much of a gap still remained between them.

When they finished their cultivation, the figures of the five Purple Glow Tutors appeared in mid-air, their gazes cast toward the students on both sides.

"Let's end today's training here. Furthermore, this is the last day of the special training; starting tomorrow, the Holy Wood World Cave will be closed," Tutor Xi Chan's voice rang out.

Everyone nodded. Li Luo's expression was somewhat melancholy and reluctant; after all, this Holy Wood World Cave was truly a great place for cultivation. In just one month, it had allowed him to complete the leap from the Resonance Pattern stage to the Resonance Transformation stage. In a sense, the cultivation effects here were even better than those on the outskirts of the Golden Dragon Dojo.

If he could keep cultivating here until the end of the year, Li Luo felt... reaching the fourth transformation of the Resonance Transformation stage might be possible.

But clearly, he was being too optimistic. The Green Spirit energy within the Holy Wood World Cave was extremely rare and precious, and it required a long time to accumulate after each opening; it was impossible for him to squander and enjoy it recklessly.

"This month of special training has been hard on everyone. You should all get a good rest today."

Tutor Xi Chan paused, then continued, "Additionally, in three days, the delegation from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy will arrive at the Astral Sage College, and at that time, the ticket tournament will officially begin."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present tightened.

Everyone knew the importance of the ticket tournament. Only by obtaining a ticket could they be qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War. This was the most important competition for all the top academies in the Eastern Divine Continent, because it was not about some so-called honor, but about real interests.

That interest included the lives of hundreds, or even more, students every year.

The Dark Caves were the foundation upon which the various holy academies were built, but they also brought indelible pain to each academy. No one knew how many young lives had been buried in the Dark Caves suppressed by the various academies, but this was a responsibility they could not avoid. Since they had become members of a Holy Academy, they needed to pay the price for it.

And if they could obtain the "Dragon Bone Holy Grail," then for several years, the Dark Caves would be unlikely to stir up trouble. For a Holy Academy, this would not only save countless resources but also prevent the deaths of many young students.

Therefore, every Holy Academy would go all out and even stop at nothing when facing the "Holy Grail War"!

Because that interest could not be abandoned.

"You already know the mechanism of the ticket tournament. Out of the seven battles, there is one for our First Star Academy. We can't control how the other grade levels do, but we hope that for this First Star Academy match, we will definitely take it."

"As for the candidates representing the First Star Academy, we will make a decision in the next two days."

"In addition, the intelligence data regarding the Blue Abyss Holy Academy delegation will be distributed to you next. You can study it more. Although our Astral Sage College is superior to the Blue Abyss Holy Academy in terms of strength and foundation, as I said before, do not underestimate any Holy Academy. When they are determined to cultivate a group of prodigies regardless of the cost, they are still capable of doing so."

Listening to what Tutor Xi Chan said, everyone present nodded solemnly.

Afterward, Tutor Xi Chan waved her hand, signifying that this special training had come to a complete end.

Li Luo and the others then set off one after another to leave the Holy Wood World Cave.

After exiting the Holy Wood World Cave and standing on the magnificent and majestic Resonance Power Tree, Li Luo looked down at the Astral Sage College, then gazed toward the Great Xia City on the distant horizon.

In nearly a year, he had stepped from an Empty Resonance into the Resonance Transformation stage.

However, none of this was worth being proud of or relaxing over, because Li Luo knew very well that the true battle of fate was the upcoming Luo Lan Mansion "Mansion Festival." For this great battle, both he and Jiang Qing'e were doing their utmost to improve themselves and make every preparation.

But regardless, the Luo Lan Mansion was the foundation and lifeblood of his father and mother, and he would not let anyone easily destroy it.
