Chapter 391: Lu Cang and Lu Zang

When Li Luo flipped open the final page of the document, two clear portraits immediately came into view, and beneath the portraits lay a wealth of detailed information.

"Lu Cang, representative of the One-Star Academy, Upper Eighth-Rank Heavenly Yang Python Image, first transformation of the Image Transformation stage. The Blue Abyss Sacred Academy places special importance on him, regarding him as a key figure in this Sacred Cup War. Danger Level: Five Stars."

"Lu Zang, representative of the One-Star Academy, Upper Eighth-Rank Profound Yin Python Image, first transformation of the Image Transformation stage. He and Lu Cang are twin brothers; their innate images are perfectly compatible, and their combined strength surges. According to intelligence, when both were at the fifth mark of the Life Mark stage, they once joined forces to defeat a powerful enemy at the third transformation of the Image Transformation stage. Danger Level: Five Stars."

Li Luo gazed at these two pieces of information, his expression gradually becoming solemn. Indeed, this world is full of wonders; he possesses two acquired images, yet these Lu Cang and Lu Zang were born with compatible innate images. If the two were separate, it would be manageable, but if they join forces, they are truly quite troublesome.

However, the One-Star Academy has only one representative slot this time; presumably, Lu Cang and Lu Zang can only send one person. In that case, the threat they pose is somewhat reduced.

Li Luo picked up the teapot Bai Bai Mengmeng had brought, poured a cup, took a few light sips, yet his gaze remained fixed on those two portraits.

On them were two youths who looked almost identical; one wore white robes, the other black; one bore a warm smile, the other was gloomy and cold. This stark contrast made people feel a faint chill.

Li Luo's intuition told him that these two would be quite troublesome opponents.

"The other Sacred Academies truly cannot be underestimated; this is merely a ticket match for the Sacred Cup War, yet we have already encountered such a troublesome powerful enemy..." Li Luo sighed.

It is said that in two days the Blue Abyss Sacred Academy's delegation will arrive at the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy. Now, not only within the academy but almost all factions across the Great Xia are paying attention to this; even in the Great Xia City, numerous gambling houses have already opened various betting markets.

Countless Great Xia people are cheering for the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy. After all, although this is merely a struggle between two Sacred Academies, given the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy's special status within the Great Xia, its fate is intertwined with that of the Great Xia people; if they prosper, they prosper together; if they suffer, they suffer together. If the Blue Abyss Sacred Academy truly snatches the ticket to the Sacred Cup War right under their noses, that would be nothing short of a humiliation.

Li Luo set down his teacup. He did not think too much; he was simply thinking of the mission Dean Pang Pang Qianyuan had given him. Setting aside whether the "Dragon Bone Sacred Cup" is even possible, if they cannot even secure the ticket, talking about the "Sacred Cup" is nothing but a joke.

However, there are seven battles in the ticket matches, and the One-Star Academy has only one; thus, even if he is selected as the One-Star Academy representative, he can only decide the outcome of one battle.

But doing his part well is enough; the other issues should be for the academy's high command to consider.

Thinking thus, Li Luo tossed the documents aside and continued to close his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

On the second day, Li Luo was notified to go to a training ground.

There, he not only met all the Purple Radiance Instructors of the One-Star Academy, including Instructor Xi Chan, but also saw the rarely seen Vice Dean Su Xin.

Qin Qin Zhulu was also present.

Clearly, today the academy would choose between him and Qin Qin Zhulu to serve as the One-Star Academy representative.

With Li Luo's arrival, Vice Dean Su Xin and several other Purple Radiance Instructors of the One-Star Academy exchanged some words, then their gentle gazes turned toward Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu in the arena: "You two are the most outstanding students of this year's One-Star Academy, and tomorrow the Blue Abyss Sacred Academy's delegation will arrive at our Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy. After they rest for a day, the ticket matches for the Sacred Cup War will officially begin."

"You are all well aware of how important the Sacred Cup War is to our Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy; for this ticket match, our Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy absolutely cannot afford to fail."

"Although the One-Star Academy has only one battle, this one battle is also crucial, so I hope that whoever becomes the One-Star Academy representative will go all out."

Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu both nodded solemnly in agreement; as members of the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy, safeguarding the academy's honor and reputation is also their responsibility.

"The method for selecting the representative is very simple: the winner is chosen. This is the result of joint deliberation by the several Purple Radiance Instructors of the One-Star Academy, so..."

Vice Dean Su Xin smiled: "The winner of your match today will become the One-Star Academy representative."

Li Luo was not surprised by this method, after all, it is the fairest one.

The two nodded in agreement and walked into the arena.

Qin Qin Zhulu's expression had been extremely excited since earlier; the battle intent in his eyes was almost overflowing. He looked at Li Luo with burning eyes: "Li Luo, I have finally waited for this day."

Li Luo smiled: "Actually, during the time when we first entered the academy, you had many opportunities to defeat me."

Back then, he was indeed behind Qin Qin Zhulu; if the two had clashed at that time, Li Luo would have admitted his chances of victory were not high.

Qin Qin Zhulu shook his head and said: "I do not care about victory or defeat; I want an opponent with whom I can fight to my heart's content."

"You back then were not up to it."

Qin Qin Zhulu's gaze fixed on Li Luo grew even more intense: "But you now are!"

Regarding how strong Li Luo is now, Qin Qin Zhulu, who has joined forces with him many times, naturally knows very well; even he himself knows that in this match, he perhaps does not have much chance of winning, but he does not care; what he cares about is a truly unrestrained battle with Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled slightly; his hand swept over the Spatial Ball, and twin blades flashed into his hands. He spun two blade flowers, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Come on, Qin Qin Zhulu; today I will let you know what satisfaction means."

Qin Qin Zhulu grinned, his eyes gradually turning crimson, and golden tiger patterns began to spread across his body; a fierce, malevolent aura suddenly erupted.

Boom!

In the next instant, two violent and powerful image forces exploded loudly within the training ground.

Half an hour later.

The training ground's gates slowly opened.

Outside the training ground, many students who had heard the news and come rushing were already waiting; they all looked forward eagerly, because they all knew that the One-Star Academy's representative would be decided today.

Under those curious gazes, two figures walked out slowly from the arena.

The foremost one was that exceptionally outstanding and eye-catching Li Luo; his silver-gray hair paired with his handsome face always made people lock onto him immediately, and at this moment, Li Luo's clothes were somewhat tattered, but this could not conceal the brilliant spirit in his brows.

Behind Li Luo was the burly Qin Qin Zhulu; he looked much more disheveled than Li Luo, with even a series of bloodstains on his body, yet his expression held no sense of defeat; instead, there was a sense of satisfaction unlike any he had ever felt before.

Under the gaze of all, Qin Qin Zhulu took out a dark-green ring; the ring seemed to be made of green wood, and engraved upon it was the emblem of the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy.

Huh!

When they saw this dark-green ring, a murmur of surprise erupted outside the arena, because they all recognized the object; this was precisely the credential for the ticket match representative qualification; it was said that previously Jiang Jiang Qinge, Senior Zhu Zhu Xuan, and others had already obtained it.

Clearly, this was a ceremony.

Under those many gazes, Qin Qin Zhulu handed the ring to Li Luo.

Li Luo accepted it, placed it on one of his fingers, and then raised his arm.

In the sunlight, the dark-green ring shimmered with luster, drawing everyone's attention.

Outside the arena, after a brief pause, thunderous cheers rang out.

Thus, the last ticket match representative for the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy was finally settled.

One-Star Academy representative: Li Luo.
