Chapter 418: Blade, Come!

Li Luo's suggestion caused the atmosphere in the hall to quiet down for a few seconds. The others all had somewhat strange looks in their eyes; people were just being polite and looking for a way out, yet you really didn't stand on ceremony.

What the hell is "sorry to bother you."

Gong Shenjun was also stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Junior Li Luo is truly humorous."

He then looked at Vice Dean Suxin and said: "Vice Dean, it seems I am not fated to have this Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade."

He was still quite easygoing, at least on the surface; of course, that was all he could do now, otherwise, could he really just snatch it by force?

Vice Dean Suxin nodded. She was not surprised by this; the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade had been stuck here for many years, and of course, Gong Shenjun and the others were not the only students to have come here, but to this day, no one had been able to pull this blade out.

She was very clear about the specific reason: the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade had followed the Dean for many years and possessed extremely strong spirituality, and thus it also possessed pride. After all, having experienced the power of a King-level expert, how could it possibly acknowledge anyone else?

Furthermore, the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade had been in the treasury for many years and could be considered to have a special connection with it. Therefore, if one wanted to rely on brute force to pull it out, it would undoubtedly be like one person pitting their strength against the entire treasury. And this treasury was a vital area of the academy; the power condensed within it was something that even an ordinary Marquis-level expert might not be able to forcibly destroy.

Therefore, even though Gong Shenjun was considered the strongest student in the academy today, it was unlikely that he could pull out the Profound Elephant Blade.

"Does anyone else want to try?" Vice Dean Suxin looked at the others again. After all, since Gong Shenjun had already made his move, if anyone else was interested, they could feel free to try; only then would it be fair.

Hearing these words from Vice Dean Suxin, the Princess immediately stepped forward and said with a blooming smile: "Although I feel I don't have much of a chance, it shouldn't hurt to try something so fun."

Vice Dean Suxin smiled and nodded.

Then, under the curious gazes of everyone, the Princess floated up, reached out her jade hand, and grasped the hilt. The next instant, a powerful resonant power erupted, directly forming a light image of a Green Phoenix behind her.

The Green Phoenix flapped its wings, devouring the energy of heaven and earth.

On the back of the Princess's fair and delicate hand, blue veins slightly bulged, and green energy surged between her pearly teeth; she was also exerting her full strength.

However, just as she had said, it seemed to have no effect.

The hilt remained completely motionless.

Seeing this, the Princess felt no regret; she decisively glided down, shook her head at everyone, and said: "It seems I am also not fated with it."

With both Gong Shenjun and the Princess failing, Li Luo, Duze Honglian, and the others felt a chill in their hearts. If even these two couldn't do it, it seemed there were indeed reasons why this blade had remained in the treasury for so many years without anyone being able to take it.

Thinking of this, their interest in the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade diminished significantly. This blade was powerful, yes, but if it couldn't be pulled out, it was just a decoration.

However, Jiang Qing'e did not lose her fighting spirit because of this. On the contrary, the failure of Gong Shenjun and the Princess actually piqued her interest. In her golden eyes, which seemed to contain mystery, a rare burning intensity and fighting intent emerged.

"Qing'e, want to try? Our academy has never had a Ninth-Grade Light Resonance; perhaps even the Dean's personal blade will set aside its pride for you." Vice Dean Suxin also looked at Jiang Qing'e at this moment and asked in a gentle voice.

Everyone could hear that Vice Dean Suxin seemed to have some expectations for Jiang Qing'e's attempt; perhaps she really felt that she might have a chance.

Li Luo also smacked his lips. Is a Ninth-Grade Light Resonance really that popular? I'm so envious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly in agreement, then said to Li Luo beside her: "I'll try to see if I can pull it out. If I do, I'll give it to you."

When these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately looked over with varied expressions.

The Princess wore a look that was not quite a smile.

Duze Honglian curled her lips in disdain, while Zhu Xuan and Ye Qiuding were both filled with jealousy. This damn Li Luo, eating off his partner every single day.

Facing everyone's gazes, Li Luo remained calm. He had been eating this "soft rice" for so many years, and it was still just as delicious. The mockery of others was like passing smoke, completely unnecessary to care about, because it was purely out of jealousy.

"Sister Qing'e, go for it!" He even shouted to cheer Jiang Qing'e on.

Jiang Qing'e floated up, grasped the hilt with her slender jade hand, and the Ninth-Grade Light Resonance within her body burst forth with brilliant light. Her long hair fluttered, and golden light patterns rapidly spread across her fair skin.

Hum!

Then, the people present felt a shock in their hearts as they saw the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade, which had remained motionless despite the full efforts of Gong Shenjun, the Princess, and others, emit a faint humming sound at this moment. Then, with extremely complex expressions, they saw that as Jiang Qing'e pulled with force, the blade, which was deeply inserted into the wall, actually slowly came out by a fraction.

It actually worked!

In the shocked gazes of the crowd, the blade was dragged half an inch out of the wall. Dark golden light could be faintly seen flowing, and at the same time, the sound of a blade whistling echoed, as if an ancient giant elephant were trumpeting.

The people present could even hear that the blade's whistle seemed to contain an emotion of both being moved and hesitant.

But at this moment, Jiang Qing'e felt a resistance; the hilt in her hand seemed to have become like a boulder again. No matter how she circulated her resonant power, she could not pull it out any further.

"Still unwilling?"

Jiang Qing'e whispered. This Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade was indeed highly spiritual; it was attached to its former master. With that Dean as its previous master, it was unwilling to fall into the hands of others.

The Ninth-Grade Light Resonance did indeed make it hesitate, but in the end, it still could not make a choice.

"Then as you wish."

Jiang Qing'e did not mind; she decisively let go of her hand and let the Profound Elephant Blade slide back into the wall, leaving only a portion of the hilt exposed.

She landed and shook her head at Vice Dean Suxin: "Vice Dean, this blade is too attached to its master. With the Dean as a precedent, I fear no second master will be acknowledged by it."

Vice Dean Suxin also smiled helplessly and said: "This temperament is exactly the same as the Dean's."

Seeing that even Jiang Qing'e could not make this blade submit, the others completely gave up. For instance, Duze Honglian didn't even have the interest to try anymore.

The others also withdrew their gazes and regretfully went to make their selections from the ten Gold-Eye Treasures.

Although Li Luo was quite eager for it, after seeing the failure of the previous three, he understood that the difficulty of pulling out this blade was too great. Thus, he also reined in his delusions, sighed, and turned his gaze back to the "Ink Scale Blade."

Perhaps today, he could only choose that one.

And just as Li Luo was thinking this, he suddenly felt a burning sensation from his wrist. He was startled and touched it with his palm; it was a dark red bracelet...

Inside the bracelet, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was sealed.

What is going on?

Hum!

At the same time, Li Luo seemed to hear an extremely faint blade whistle enter his ears.

Li Luo's eyes flashed, and he slowly turned his head to look at the hilt on the wall. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the hilt tremble slightly...

Must have seen it wrong?

He thought to himself.

Then he felt the dark red bracelet on his wrist become increasingly hot, scorching.

A flash of inspiration struck Li Luo's heart.

The dark red bracelet was left to him by the Dean... and the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade before him was extremely attached to its master. Could it be that there was some resonance between the two?

This blade, could it have mistaken him for the Dean?

Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but want to laugh. It couldn't be that absurd, right?

He thought for a moment, raised his palm, and pointed it from afar at the hilt stuck in the wall.

Jiang Qing'e, the Princess, and Duze Honglian all noticed this, and then strange gazes were cast over.

What kind of pose is this guy striking here?

Their gazes made Li Luo's face feel a bit hot, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and shout with a thunderous roar.

"Blade, come!"
