Chapter 448: Divine Tree Gold Badge

After using the sternest warnings to forcibly suppress the existing grudges and friction among these young students, Vice Dean Suxin's gaze finally softened, restoring the image of the gentlest Vice Dean in the hearts of many students.

"There is one more point to mention, and that is the final championship mechanism of the Holy Grail Battle."

"First is the first part, the 'Grade-Level Battle'. In this competition, four winners will be born, which is to say, the strongest titled student from each of the four grade levels."

"These four strongest students will each receive a 'Divine Tree Gold Badge'."

As she spoke, light from Vice Dean Suxin's resonance power intertwined in her palm, forming a phantom image. The crowd looked on curiously and discovered it was a golden badge about half the size of a palm. It was unclear what material the badge was crafted from, but miraculous radiance flowed over it. Engraved upon the badge was a towering tree that seemed to connect heaven and earth, exuding an indescribable sense of antiquity and vicissitudes.

"The number of 'Divine Tree Gold Badges' possessed will be used to determine which academy ultimately becomes the champion."

Vice Dean Suxin looked at Jiang Qing'e with a hint of a smile on her face: "Although it may seem a bit self-satisfied to say this now, I think that among these four 'Divine Tree Gold Badges', we have a very high probability of obtaining at least one."

No one felt that Vice Dean Suxin was celebrating too early, because Jiang Qing'e was indeed the person with the most strength to win the strongest title among the Third-Grade students this time. Other academies regarded her as their greatest competitor; if even she didn't have the qualifications to make such a bold claim, then no one else was worthy.

"However, the results of the first part, the 'Grade-Level Battle', can only be said to establish some advantages. The one that truly achieves a decisive victory is still the second part, the 'Mixed-Grade Battle'."

"The so-called 'Mixed-Grade Battle' requires the four grade levels of each academy to form three-person squads. The requirement for the squad is that each person must belong to a different grade level, for example, Fourth, Third, and Second grade, or Fourth, Third, and First grade, and so on."

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became restless.

Li Luo was also stunned. So the second part had this kind of mechanism... He immediately looked at Jiang Qing'e, and then he saw Jiang Qing'e's indifferent gaze also cast over. Their eyes met for a moment, and both saw a hint of a smile in the other's eyes.

Alright, it's a lock.

No matter who the third person is at that time, he is bound to Jiang Qing'e anyway; whoever wants to pull her away will have to take them both.

That's not quite right either. The current Li Luo is not the one who was in the Dark Cave before. Now, if one were to compare strength and utility, he might not necessarily be weaker than that lackluster duo from the Second-Grade.

"In this second part, the 'Mixed-Grade Battle', one team will ultimately emerge victorious, and that team will receive three 'Divine Tree Gold Badges'."

Vice Dean Suxin smiled slightly and said: "Therefore, the most important competition is the second one. Generally speaking, as long as no academy manages to directly win three strongest student titles in the first Grade-Level Battle and obtain three 'Divine Tree Gold Badges', then whoever wins the second 'Mixed-Grade Battle' will become the overall champion and win the 'Dragon Bone Holy Grail'."

Li Luo clicked his tongue. Winning three strongest student titles—the difficulty of this is too high. Moreover, if an academy truly possessed this level of overwhelming strength, would there even be a need to play the second Mixed-Grade Battle? With these three strongest students combined, which mixed-grade squad from other academies could beat them?

So, an academy capable of fulfilling this prerequisite probably hasn't appeared in the Eastern Divine Continent yet.

Their Shengxuanxing Academy dares to regard the title of the strongest Third-Grade student as something already in the bag because they possess a monster like Jiang Qing'e, who carries a Ninth-Grade Light Resonance. Throughout history, which Holy Academy in the Eastern Divine Continent has ever been able to possess three monsters of this level at the same time?

It's unrealistic.

"Additionally, this 'Divine Tree Gold Badge' is an extremely special treasure. It was specially crafted by the Academy Alliance to reward outstanding students. It has many miraculous effects, the most special of which is that it can release 'Divine Tree Power' while being worn. This power can continuously refine and improve one's own resonance. In a sense, it is like consuming spirit liquid and wondrous light day and night. While this improvement effect may not be as obvious or intense as spirit liquid and wondrous light, it is silent and nourishing. From a long-term perspective, it can save you an extremely huge sum of expenses," Vice Dean Suxin added with a smile.

When these words were spoken, let alone the average students, even Gong Shenjun and the Princess had a flash of light pass through their eyes, because they understood that this effect was the truly precious part.

Of course, the most excited one had to be Li Luo. His breathing became heavy at this moment, because if anyone present consumed the most spirit liquid and wondrous light, he could proudly stand up; after all, his bottomless pit could even make Sister Cai Wei cry.

Moreover, he has multiple resonances; a treasure that can nourish resonances can exert its maximum effect on him.

For him, this kind of special treasure is likely even more attractive than some Purple-Eye treasures.

Li Luo licked the corner of his mouth. Not bad, he has a goal now. Never mind the second Mixed-Grade Battle for now, but if possible, he still needs to try his best to snatch one in this first Grade-Level Battle.

After all, there are too many variables in the Mixed-Grade Battle. When he joins a squad, he will likely be the type to assist from the sidelines. After all, with Jiang Qing'e and the Fourth-Grade students present, he feels that with his meager Resonance Master stage, he probably doesn't have the strength to influence the overall situation. He still has some self-awareness regarding this point.

So if he wants to obtain a 'Divine Tree Gold Badge', the first Grade-Level Battle is his greatest opportunity.

"By the way, if anyone can obtain two 'Divine Tree Gold Badges', they can apply to fuse these two badges. A new badge will be formed, which is known as the 'Divine Tree Purple Badge', corresponding to the Gold-Radiance and Purple-Radiance student ranks in each Holy Academy..."

"The various miraculous effects of the 'Divine Tree Purple Badge' will all be stronger than the Gold Badge. So, if any student has the conditions to fulfill this harsh requirement, they must seize the opportunity. This is an extremely rare honor. In so many editions of the Holy Grail Battle, students who have obtained the Divine Tree Gold Badge are already extremely rare, and as for the even harsher Divine Tree Purple Badge, they are even fewer in number."

Vice Dean Suxin's smiling gaze looked at Jiang Qing'e. To obtain two 'Divine Tree Gold Badges' of one's own, one must not only become the strongest student in the Grade-Level Battle but also become the final winner in the subsequent Mixed-Grade Battle. Only then can this harsh condition be met.

And among the crowd, it was clear that Jiang Qing'e was the most likely to achieve this.

After all, it is hard to say what the result of the second Mixed-Grade Battle will be, but at least for the first Grade-Level Battle, Jiang Qing'e already has a considerable degree of certainty.

However, regarding this point, Jiang Qing'e herself was quite calm, because while the improvement of resonance grade might be extremely precious to others, for someone like her who already possesses a Ninth-Grade Light Resonance... the effect is actually not that significant.

And although Jiang Qing'e was very calm, Li Luo, on the other side, couldn't help but lift his head, because he was afraid that his drool would uncontrollably drip from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the dome of the pavilion and shook his head gently.

Vice Dean, you really are a devil.

You have successfully ignited the wild fire in the heart of a kind-hearted youth.

This fire can only be saved by a Divine Tree Purple Badge.
