Chapter 391: Lu Cang and Lu Cang
When Li Luo turned to the last page of the document, two clear portraits immediately caught his eyes, and beneath the portraits were many detailed pieces of information.
"Lu Cang, representative of the First Star Hall, upper eighth-grade Heavenly Yang Python Resonance, first transformation of the Resonance Transformation stage. The Blue Abyss Holy Academy places great importance on him, regarding him as a key figure in this Holy Grail Battle. Danger level: five stars."
"Lu Cang, representative of the First Star Hall, upper eighth-grade Profound Yin Python Resonance, first transformation of the Resonance Transformation stage. He and Lu Cang are biological brothers. The two have naturally compatible resonances, and their combined strength surges. According to intelligence, the two once joined forces to defeat a powerful enemy at the third transformation of the Resonance Transformation stage while they were at the fifth pattern of the Resonance Pattern stage. Danger level: five stars."
Li Luo stared at these two pieces of information, his expression gradually becoming solemn. This world truly had everything; he possessed acquired dual resonances, while these Lu Cang and Lu Cang were born with compatible dual resonances. If the two were separated, it would be fine, but if they joined forces, it would truly be quite troublesome.
However, there was only one representative spot for the First Star Hall, so presumably, only one of these Lu Cang and Lu Cang could be chosen. In this way, the threat they posed was slightly smaller.
Li Luo picked up the teapot sent over by Bai Mengmeng and poured a cup, sipping it a few times, but his gaze remained fixed on those two portraits.
Above were two youths who looked almost exactly the same; one in white, one in black, one with a warm smile, one cold and indifferent. This strong sense of contrast made one feel a faint chill.
Li Luo's intuition told him that these would be two extremely troublesome opponents.
"Other Holy Academies are indeed not to be underestimated. This is merely a ticket-qualifying match for the Holy Grail Battle, yet I can already encounter such troublesome and powerful enemies..." Li Luo sighed.
It was said that the delegation from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy would arrive at the Astral Sage College in two days. Now, not to mention within the academy, almost all forces throughout the Great Xia were paying attention to this. In the Great Xia City, many gambling dens had already opened various betting pools.
Countless Great Xia people were cheering for the Astral Sage College. After all, although this was just a struggle between two Holy Academies, given the special status of the Astral Sage College in Great Xia, it had long been tied to the glory and loss of the Great Xia people. If they really let the Blue Abyss Holy Academy snatch away the ticket to the Holy Grail Battle right under their noses, that would simply be a disgrace.
Li Luo put down the teacup. He didn't think too much about it; he was just thinking about the task Dean Pang Qinyuan had given him. Not to mention whether the "Dragon Bone Holy Grail" was possible, if they couldn't even get the ticket, talking about the "Holy Grail" was simply a joke.
However, there were seven battles in the ticket-qualifying matches, and the First Star Hall only had one, so even if he were chosen as the First Star Hall representative, he could only decide the outcome of one match.
But doing his own part well was enough; other problems should be for the academy's top brass to consider.
Thinking this, Li Luo tossed the information aside and continued to close his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
The next day, Li Luo was notified to head to a training ground.
There, he not only saw all the Purple Glow tutors of the First Star Hall, including Tutor Xi Chan, but even saw Vice Dean Su Xin, who rarely made an appearance.
At the same time, Qin Zhulu was also there.
Clearly, today the academy would choose between him and Qin Zhulu to serve as the representative for the First Star Hall.
With Li Luo's arrival, Vice Dean Su Xin had some conversation with the other Purple Glow tutors of the First Star Hall, and then her gentle gaze turned to Li Luo and Qin Zhulu in the arena: "You two are the most outstanding students in this year's First Star Hall, and tomorrow the delegation from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy will arrive at our Astral Sage College. After they rest for a day, the ticket-qualifying matches for the Holy Grail Battle will officially begin."
"You are all very clear about how important the Holy Grail Battle is to our Astral Sage College. We absolutely do not allow failure in this ticket-qualifying match."
"Although the First Star Hall only has one battle, this one is also crucial, so I hope that no matter who becomes the First Star Hall representative, you will do your utmost."
Li Luo and Qin Zhulu both nodded solemnly in agreement. As members of the Astral Sage College, it was also their responsibility to uphold the honor and reputation of the academy.
"The method of selecting the representative is also very simple: the winner is chosen. This is the result after the several Purple Glow tutors of the First Star Hall discussed it together, so..."
Vice Dean Su Xin smiled: "The winner of your match today will become the First Star Hall representative."
Li Luo was not surprised by this method; after all, it was the fairest one.
The two nodded and walked into the arena.
Qin Zhulu's expression had been extremely excited since just now. The fighting spirit in his eyes was almost overflowing, and he looked at Li Luo heatedly: "Li Luo, I have finally waited for this day."
Li Luo smiled: "Actually, during the time you first entered the academy, you had many opportunities to defeat me."
At that time, he was indeed lagging behind Qin Zhulu. If they had fought then, Li Luo boasted that his chances of winning would not have been high.
Qin Zhulu shook his head and said: "I don't care about victory or defeat; I want an opponent who can let me have a hearty fight."
"At that time, you couldn't."
Qin Zhulu stared at Li Luo with eyes that grew increasingly fiery: "But now, you can!"
As for how strong Li Luo's current strength was, Qin Zhulu, who had joined forces with him many times, naturally knew very clearly. He even knew himself that he might not have much chance of winning this match, but he didn't care. What he cared about was a real, no-holds-barred battle with Li Luo.
Li Luo smiled slightly. He wiped his palm across his space ball, and twin blades flashed into his hands. He twirled the blades, his expression gradually becoming solemn: "Come on, Qin Zhulu, today I will let you know what it means to be satisfied."
Qin Zhulu grinned, his eyes gradually turning crimson. Golden tiger patterns began to spread across his body, and a fierce, murderous aura suddenly erupted.
Boom!
The next instant, two violent and thick resonance powers erupted in the training ground with a roar.
Half an hour later.
The gates of the training ground slowly opened.
Many students who had heard the news were already waiting outside the training ground. They were all craning their necks in anticipation because they all knew that the representative for the First Star Hall would be decided today.
And under those curious gazes, two figures walked slowly out of the arena.
The first one was the exceptionally brilliant and eye-catching Li Luo. His silver-gray hair paired with that handsome face always made people lock onto him at first sight. At this moment, the clothes on Li Luo's body were somewhat tattered, but this could not hide the spirited look between his brows.
Behind Li Luo was the burly Qin Zhulu. He looked much more disheveled than Li Luo, with even bloodstains appearing on his body, but his expression was not one of defeat; instead, there was a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Zhulu took out a dark cyan ring. The ring seemed to be made of green wood, and the emblem of the Astral Sage College was engraved upon it.
Whoosh!
When they saw this dark cyan ring, a commotion erupted outside the arena because they all recognized this object. This was the proof of the representative qualification for the ticket-qualifying matches. It was said that Jiang Qing'e, Zhu Xuan, and the others had already received theirs.
Clearly, this was a ceremony.
Under those many gazes, Qin Zhulu handed the ring to Li Luo.
Li Luo took it, put it on a finger, and then raised his arm.
In the sunlight, the dark cyan ring shimmered, drawing attention.
And outside the arena, after a moment of hesitation, thunderous cheers rang out.
With this, the final representative for the Astral Sage College's ticket-qualifying matches was completely settled.
First Star Hall representative, Li Luo.
