Chapter 411: Li Luo's Purpose

The giant waves roared, and countless amounts of lake water cascaded down like a torrential downpour.

In the tiers of stands among the mountains, countless students stood up abruptly, their expressions grim as they stared at the movements within the massive lake; no one had expected Lu Cang to suddenly unleash such an astonishing attack, suppressing Li Luo almost instantly and blasting him to the bottom of the lake.

Such power made even some students whose strength was at the Fourth Transformation of the Resonance Transformation Stage look solemn.

Moreover, everyone could see that Lu Cang had unleashed all of his power; he clearly wanted to end this decisive battle before the incense burned out.

"When Lu Cang unleashes the 'Twin Python Curse,' this decisive match enters its countdown."

In the stands of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy, Zhao Huiyin and the others looked at Lu Cang, who was coiled in the lake like a fierce python, and all breathed a sigh of relief; because based on their understanding of Lu Cang, the "Twin Python Curse" was a state where the two forces within Lu Cang's body were burning, which provided him with extremely violent and terrifying power, but it lasted for a very short time, so once Lu Cang entered this state, it meant the battle was about to end.

No opponent of the same level could withstand this state of Lu Cang's.

"Li Luo's dual resonances are indeed powerful, but it is a pity he met the Lu Cang brothers this time; relying on their bloodline, they graft their resonance power and resonance nature onto each other. In a sense, the current Lu Cang can also be considered to possess dual resonances. Although he lacks the support of independent resonance palaces and cannot sustain it for too long, his combat power in the short term is definitely superior to Li Luo's dual resonances," Zhao Huiyin said leisurely, a smile appearing on her charming face.

"It seems this ticket for the Holy Grail War will fall into the hands of our Blue Abyss Holy Academy."

Beside her, the other representatives of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy also revealed smiles of certain victory; although they had been almost completely suppressed by the Holy Profound Star Academy in the first half of the ticket match, fortunately, heaven never closes all doors, and they had finally pulled the situation back. Now, the scales of victory had tilted in their favor.

If they could win this time, the reputation of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy would surely spread across the entire Eastern Divine Continent, which would be beneficial for the improvement of the academy's ranking.

The Princess and Gong Shenjun, the top students in the academy, also had slightly solemn expressions at this moment; their sharp gazes seemed to pierce through the lake water, seeing the figure that had been blasted into the bottom of the lake by the astonishing power.

The power Lu Cang had unleashed surprised even them, and as for Li Luo, how would he respond?

At this moment, even the Princess, who still had some confidence in Li Luo, could not help but waver a little.

All of them had underestimated this Lu Cang from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy.

"Captain!" On the side of the First Star Academy, Bai Mengmeng was so nervous that she reached out to cover her small mouth, her bright, watery eyes filled with panic.

"Damn, this bastard from the Blue Abyss Holy Academy hid his strength so deep!" Yu Lang cursed out loud directly.

"This Lu Cang is so strong! If that terrifying strike just now had been aimed at me, I would definitely have been so severely injured that I would have lost my combat ability by now," Qin Zhulu said in a low voice, his expression grave.

Lu Qinger did not speak, but her tightly clenched hands also revealed the worry in her heart.

Afterwards, she could not help but look at Jiang Qing'e; the latter's beautiful face was calm, without any panic, which made Lu Qinger involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Senior Sister Jiang, will Li Luo be alright?"

Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes watched the lake that had stirred up giant waves, and she said calmly, "The strength of this Lu Cang, even looking at the First Star Academies of all the academies in this Eastern Divine Continent, is probably at the top level. It is quite impressive that the Blue Abyss Holy Academy could produce such a freak."

She turned her head to look at Lu Qinger and said, "However, even though the current Lu Cang's strength is astonishing, it does not mean he can truly win."

"Although I don't know if Li Luo has any trump cards, I can feel that he is not avoiding the pressure brought by Lu Cang; on the contrary, he seems to be looking forward to this pressure... It even seems like Li Luo actively met Lu Cang's attack."

Lu Qinger was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Just an intuition." Jiang Qing'e shook her head.

Lu Qinger felt helpless, but she did not ask any more questions. Jiang Qing'e's words did alleviate her nervous and worried mood, and among the people present, besides Jiang Qing'e, perhaps she was the one who believed in Li Luo the most.

Although Lu Cang was strong, as someone who had experienced many things alongside Li Luo, Lu Qinger could also faintly feel the surging waves contained within that young man's body.

Lu Cang was certainly unexpected, but who could be sure that what Li Luo had shown was his all?

At the bottom of the lake, the water surged.

Li Luo's body fell slowly through the water; he could feel the intense pain coming from his arms, where bloodstains had torn open and blood was constantly gushing out. Within his body, there was an extremely violent resonance power rampaging and gnawing at his flesh and blood.

That was the resonance power from Lu Cang.

The previous violent strike had clearly caused Li Luo significant injuries.

Intense pain surged through his body, but Li Luo's face was unexpectedly calm; in those pupils, there was not only no panic, but instead, an inexplicable brilliance was dancing.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a situation.

This Lu Cang was a very qualified opponent worthy of being taken seriously with all his might.

A faint smile curled at the corners of Li Luo's lips.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the surging lake water to see Lu Cang standing above the surface; at this moment, the latter's red-black slit pupils were also locked onto him.

Their gazes collided.

Lu Cang's expression was gloomy as he slowly tightened his grip on the Green Python Staff in his hand, because in Li Luo's gaze, he seemed to see some encouragement, which made him somewhat annoyed. This guy, already suppressed to this state, was still putting on an act?

In this situation, how could you possibly turn things around?!

Since you don't want to admit defeat, then I can only beat you until you do!

Boom!

At this instant, red-black resonance power erupted from Lu Cang's body once again; the resonance power seemed to form a kind of viscous substance, flowing over the surface of Lu Cang's body and finally gathering on the Green Python Staff in his hand.

The red-black viscous energy substance dripped continuously from the Green Python Staff, and as it fell into the lake water, the patch of water immediately turned pitch black, as if contaminated by some deadly poison.

Amidst countless complex gazes, Lu Cang stomped his foot down.

Splash!

The surface of the lake seemed to be split directly at this moment. The next instant, Lu Cang let out a long howl, and the red-black resonance power swept out. His figure, like a giant red-black python, broke through the water, and as the staff swept past, the lake water was parted.

That strike was aimed directly at Li Luo at the bottom of the lake.

The entire lake seemed to be boiling at this moment because of the surging resonance power.

Countless people held their breath, and even the Purple-Badge Mentor overseeing the battle was secretly preparing to end the match at the final moment, because Lu Cang's strike was too powerful; if one were not careful, Li Luo might be in mortal danger.

Li Luo at the bottom of the lake also saw Lu Cang, who was breaking through the water and hissing like a red-black giant python. The power condensed on the Green Python Staff was so great that even the lake water was torn apart, and the silt at the bottom of the lake was stirred up.

A powerful sense of oppression enveloped him.

Li Luo even felt a death-like aura.

This feeling was several times stronger than when he faced Lin Suo in the Golden Dragon Dojo!

Under the pressure of that death-like aura, Li Luo suddenly felt the world become quiet; the flow of the lake water, the roar of the resonance power, all sounds disappeared, leaving only his heart still beating violently.

The blood throughout his body began to flow at an accelerated pace.

The smile at the corners of Li Luo's mouth gradually widened.

This was the feeling.

He actually slowly closed his eyes at this moment.

His mind sank into his Water-Light Resonance Palace.

Here, the Water-Light resonance power seed shone brightly, and the resonance light patterns on it were already brilliant to the extreme.

Previously, during the special training in the Holy Wood Realm Cave, Li Luo had completed the evolution of his "Wood-Earth Resonance" on the last day, truly stepping into the Resonance Transformation Stage. However, what had changed was only the Wood-Earth Resonance; as for his strongest "Water-Light Resonance," he had yet to complete that step.

After repeated attempts, Li Luo felt that the evolution of the "Water-Light Resonance" was likely because its grade was far superior to the "Wood-Earth Resonance," making the difficulty extremely high; to complete this step of evolution required some painstaking effort.

Originally, Li Luo had thought so too, but now, perhaps he could skip this step.

This was also Li Luo's true purpose.

He wanted to use the pressure brought by Lu Cang to help him complete the evolution of his "Water-Light Resonance"!
