Chapter 413

The sudden, excited roar made the stunned students in the stands almost want to laugh, but since they had finally come to their senses, they ignored the source of the roar and instead gazed at the youth standing in the lake with eyes shining with a strange light.

Li Luo actually won?!

Everyone was slightly dazed; how had the situation suddenly turned around like this?

What kind of collision had occurred at the bottom of that lake, causing Lu Cang, who had originally held the upper hand, to be defeated?

Judging by his unconscious state, he had clearly suffered severe injuries during that intense collision just now.

Yet, although doubt and curiosity filled their hearts, they did not stop the growing number of excited and fervent cheers echoing through the mountains.

"Li Luo!"

"Li Luo!"

All the students of Saint Profound Star Academy were extremely excited, after all, this battle had been quite full of twists and turns; previously, Lu Cang had been too dominant, so much so that even they began to feel uneasy, and some pessimists had already felt the ticket would slip from Saint Profound Star Academy's grasp.

But no one expected that, moments later, the situation would suddenly change.

In terms of momentum, this battle perhaps lacked the grandeur of Gong Gong Shenjun or Jiang Jiang Qinge, but its excitement and tension were no less than theirs.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that Li Luo, at this critical moment, finally stepped forward, withstood the pressure, turned the tide, and stopped the plan of Blue Abyss Holy Academy to snatch the Holy Cup War ticket from Saint Profound Star Academy.

Just this point alone was enough for everyone to label Li Luo's performance in this decisive match as perfect.

Amidst the boiling crowd, the supervising instructor Zi Hui also spoke, his voice echoing through the mountains: "In this battle, Saint Profound Star Academy, Li Luo wins!"

"Thus, the seven matches of the ticket competition have ended; Saint Profound Star Academy has three wins, two draws, and two losses, while Blue Abyss Holy Academy has two wins, two draws, and three losses!"

"Therefore, the final result is... Saint Profound Star Academy wins!"

Boom!

As the supervising instructor's voice fell, the boiling atmosphere in the mountains instantly intensified; deafening cheers shot straight to the clouds, and the entire mountain range trembled because of it.

All the students were cheering and celebrating because they all understood that the Holy Cup War was the largest-scale and highest-level grand ceremony among all academies in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou; every academy had been planning and stockpiling strength for it for many years. One could even say that for the major academies, there were two things they always regarded as Top Priority: the first was the Dark Caves, and the second was the Holy Cup War held once every four years.

And the Holy Cup War indeed possessed enough charm and attraction.

The "Dragon Bone Holy Cup" need not be mentioned further; it was the most deadly temptation. With such a holy artifact, even the Dark Caves could be suppressed, which would save an academy from losing how many talented students over four years? Moreover, besides this, the rankings in the Holy Cup War would be uploaded to the "Academy Alliance," and the Academy Alliance would use this as an evaluation standard to bestow numerous indispensable resources.

And the resources from the Academy Alliance were one of the foundations that allowed the major Holy Academies to grow so powerful.

"They actually won..."

The Eldest Princess, Gong Gong Shenjun, and others also stared slightly stunned at the figure on the lake; this result was even a bit surprising to them.

"This Li Luo has hidden quite a bit of skill," said Wang Chao, one of the Seven Star Pillars, smiling with interest.

The others nodded; just moments ago, Li Luo was still in a suppressed state, but a fierce battle at the bottom of the lake resulted in a reversal, which could only mean Li Luo had hidden some methods no one expected.

The Eldest Princess gazed at Li Luo with her phoenix eyes, a strange color appearing in her pupils, because she discovered that this Li Luo really always, unintentionally, showed you some miracles that made people feel surprised.

To be honest, given the strength and trump cards Lu Cang displayed this time, even if Li Luo truly lost to him, no one would be able to blame Li Luo for being useless, because Lu Cang in this state was indeed very strong; the latter's strength, even in the Holy Cup War where heroes gathered, was absolutely of the stunning variety.

If Li Luo lost to him, it would not be unjust.

But no one expected that Li Luo ultimately still achieved victory in the decisive match, simultaneously crushing the scheme of Blue Abyss Holy Academy.

The Eldest Princess leaned her slender, graceful body against the railing, arms crossed; her unintentional movement made her body curves appear even more graceful and charming. Her red lips parted slightly; she had to admit that at this moment she felt a bit of curiosity about Li Luo. Of course, this curiosity did not mean she had any preference for Li Luo; it was simply a desire to know how much more this youth, so different from Jiang Jiang Qinge, had hidden.

"Do you think he might have a chance to win the title of the strongest One-Star Academy student in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou at the Holy Cup War?" she said with a smile.

The people beside her looked at each other.

"Isn't that requirement a bit too high?"

Gong Gong Shenjun smiled first and analyzed: "Roughly estimating, Lu Cang's strength might rank within the top ten of the One-Star Academy in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou. Li Luo was able to defeat him, so mixing into the top eight or even the top five should be possible, but as for that title of the strongest One-Star Academy student, the difficulty is not generally high."

"You should also be clear about exactly how many various monsters and freaks will appear in the Holy Cup War."

"Even among those with Dual Phases, Li Luo is not the only one."

The Eldest Princess nodded; this statement was not wrong. Although Dual Phases were rare, the participants in the Holy Cup War were the most outstanding young generation in the entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, so it was not strange for any kind of figure to appear there; after all, could it be that in this entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, Li Luo was the only one with a Dual Phase?

"However, even if he doesn't get the strongest title, Li Luo should still be one of the most eye-catching ones at this Holy Cup War."

Regarding the Eldest Princess's words, the crowd quite agreed, after all, judging by the intensity, this battle already counted as high-level for the Holy Cup War; Li Luo's ability to win was enough to demonstrate his strength.

The jubilation on the One-Star Academy side was among the most intense of all the stands; all One-Star Academy students had flushed faces and were extremely excited. Li Luo was, after all, the representative of the One-Star Academy; his such a beautiful victory made the entire One-Star Academy feel honored by association.

In the stands, many One-Star Academy students were wailing and howling, emitting piercing sounds.

Lu Qing'er and Bai Bai Mengmeng both quietly breathed a sigh of relief; their bodies, which had been tense, finally began to relax gradually at this moment.

"Captain is really amazing," Bai Bai Mengmeng said with a light smile, looking somewhat admiring.

Lu Qing'er's beautiful face also carried a happy smile as she looked at the youth standing on the lake surface. He smiled brilliantly, his face still as handsome as ever, like a cup of mellow wine that becomes more fragrant the more you taste it. Moreover, compared to when he was at South Wind Academy, the current Li Luo was undoubtedly more confident and dazzling.

And Lu Qing'er had felt from the very beginning that, given Li Luo's skills, he should naturally be so eye-catching.

His excellence was no worse than anyone else's.

Including Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Thinking this, she glanced at Jiang Jiang Qinge beside her.

And the latter, with her black hair flowing, sensed Lu Qing'er's gaze, so she turned her head, looking at Lu Qing'er with her golden eyes meaningfully, and smiled slightly.

"What do you think of my fiancé's performance?"
