Although the participants are only the top students from each academy, it is precisely for this reason that the examination is even more intense. Everyone wants to see which young talent will stand out and become the number one of the new generation in Tianshu Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the highest honor for a youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group entered the White Spirit Garden, they felt the atmosphere become even more heated, with countless noisy sounds coming from all sides. Their appearance immediately attracted much attention; after all, the reputation of South Wind Academy is still very resounding in Tianshu Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the top twenty from this year's South Wind Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, is that beautiful long-haired young lady Lu Qinger? I heard she is the number one in South Wind Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this year's academy grand examination, she is very likely to be the first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily. Shi Kong from Dongyuan Academy is also incredibly strong; he might not be any weaker than Lu Qinger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one is Li Luo from South Wind Academy? It is said that Jiang Qing'e is his fiancée? Simply detestable, how dare he defile my goddess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, the one who looks the most handsome is Li Luo from South Wind Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, he is indeed handsome, but what else is there besides that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also has money and power; after all, he is the Young Master of the Luo Lan Mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, relying on family status is no real skill. We should strive for self-improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that in the South Wind Academy preliminary exam, he forced a draw with the second-ranked Song Yunfeng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, you're so annoying, can you shut up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, many discussions poured into the ears of the South Wind Academy group, but it was clear that Lu Qinger and Li Luo were the most talked about—the former because of her strength, and the latter because of his peculiar reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a stone pavilion on high ground not far away, three figures stood, their gazes locked onto the South Wind Academy team entering the White Spirit Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two boys and one girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One boy had a tall and sturdy build, his fiery red hair dazzling under the sunlight, while the other boy had a scholarly appearance and looked somewhat thin and weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last girl was dressed in green, her petite figure delicate and lovely, and her features were quite beautiful. Most notably, on the backs of her hands, there seemed to be green tattoos resembling vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were not nobodies. The red-haired boy was named Xiang Liang, from the Chenxi Academy of Tianshu Prefecture, and he was the number one of this generation, possessing formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholarly, thin boy was named Zong Fu, the number one of Zhongyang Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petite girl in green was named Chi Su, the number one of Xiguang Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were all strong contenders for the top ten in this academy grand examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that Lu Qinger? She looks like a formidable enemy.\" Xiang Liang's voice was loud, his eyes locked onto Lu Qinger with intense fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel a sense of danger from her,\" Zong Fu said softly, his brows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number one of South Wind Academy has never been simple, has it? But you should also be thankful that we aren't in the same generation as Jiang Qing'e, otherwise, you might as well just wash up and go to sleep,\" Chi Su giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Liang and Zong Fu nodded in deep agreement, sighing, \"That Jiang Qing'e is too terrifying. A ninth-grade Light Resonance, it's simply frightening. One really has to sympathize with those in her generation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, in this generation of South Wind Academy, only Lu Qinger and Song Yunfeng are worth fearing; the others are not to be feared,\" Xiang Liang said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his academy could not compare to South Wind Academy, it was precisely because of this that his academy could pile many resources onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And people like him, while not common in the various academies of Tianshu Prefecture, were not unique to his academy either, because in order to recruit these talented students, all parties were willing to spend a great price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about that Li Luo? I heard he fought to a draw with Song Yunfeng in the preliminary exam,\" Chi Su said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiang Liang sneered and said, \"That's because he relied on some special method to drag out the match time, and in the end, his Resonance power was also completely exhausted. If Song Yunfeng had been given one more second, Li Luo would have been eliminated in a sorry state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was just opportunism; it won't work in the grand examination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chi Su suddenly realized and said with some regret, \"What a waste of such a handsome face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholarly Zong Fu on the side said softly, \"Underestimating the enemy is a major taboo. Li Luo being able to force a draw with Song Yunfeng is enough to show that he has some peculiarities. Therefore, for the sake of caution, it is necessary to test his true ability so that all unstable factors can be neutralized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about that, I'll find a way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Liang curled his lips and said, \"Suit yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Su turned her gaze and said, \"You all received the message from Shi Kong, right? He wants us to meet up tonight to discuss some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Liang nodded. Facing the son of the Viceroy, who was also considered the only person capable of contending head-on with Lu Qinger of South Wind Academy, he was full of apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still have to give him some face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Fu also nodded gently and said, \"His goal should be to target South Wind Academy, which coincides with our own. After all, South Wind Academy has occupied the signboard of the number one academy in Tianshu Prefecture for too long, and they receive the most admission spots every time. If we can suppress them, it will be beneficial for our respective academies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Su smiled, \"And if it weren't for a heavyweight figure like him, it's unlikely we would be able to join forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the various academies would target South Wind Academy, there was still a lot of competition among themselves, so without a powerful figure to mediate, it would be difficult to form an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the fact that Shi Kong was able to step forward this time was something they were happy to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and his group, led by Lin Feng and Xu Shanyue, moved into their dormitory rooms in the White Spirit Garden; Li Luo happened to be paired with Zhao Kuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two were tidying up the dormitory, there was a sudden knock on the door. As soon as Li Luo opened it, a very roguish face appeared, while a corner of a page tucked in his chest was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, want to buy some intel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words reached his ears, Li Luo was immediately reminded of those sleazy vendors who used to sneakily sell all kinds of unhealthy books at the entrance of South Wind Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Lang, when did you change your profession?\" Li Luo asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in front of him was none other than Yu Lang, who had previously fought Li Luo and lost after an exaggerated amount of vomiting blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang said with dissatisfaction, \"This is first-hand information. I have intelligence on the top students from all the academies, and based on this, I've deduced the top ten for the grand examination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Li Luo raised an eyebrow. This guy really had a brain; he actually knew how to peddle this kind of information, and it looked like he had been preparing for it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your knack for making money is not bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo praised him and then bought a copy of the information to show his support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a must. This information is the result of my blood and sweat; I guarantee it's worth the price,\" Yu Lang said with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo flipped open a page, and the smile on his lips stiffened, because he saw his own name immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo, South Wind Academy, Young Master of the Luo Lan Mansion, once a waste, a rising genius, suspected to have a fifth-grade Water Resonance, characteristics: very handsome, but unfortunately, being handsome provides no bonus for securing a spot; the probability of ultimately reaching the top ten in the grand examination is estimated to be extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo laughed in anger and raised his head to scold him, but Yu Lang had already swept away like a gust of wind, with his voice coming from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm doing this to protect your information!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gritted his teeth. I don't believe a word of it, you rogue; don't let me run into you next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1616,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","44e77682ed63da71a2a9d013a0f02deeb0449a0c1b9c3ac7920e542f47c17115","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-46","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-44",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
