Chapter 481: Six People's Spots

The process of waiting to harvest is joyful.

When the second day's dawn arrived, amidst the sky above the archipelago, a burst of rosy light suddenly erupted from the four clusters of Spirit-Gathering Altars, and a dense, exotic fragrance spread out, drawing countless gazes from below the archipelago, their eyes burning with intensity.

They all knew that the Heavenly Spirit Dew had been born within those four clusters of Spirit-Gathering Altars.

Although during this period, the four clusters of Spirit-Gathering Altars had constantly been leaking heaven and earth energy, giving birth to Heavenly Spirit Dew in the lakes and marshes, compared to the harvest within those four clusters, it was merely a few scraps of leftovers.

But no matter how envious they were, there was no way, after all, who could blame them for lacking the ability to climb the Cloud Ladder?

"Li Luo, for this High-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altar, we have obtained a total of two hundred and ninety-five drops of Heavenly Spirit Dew!"

The moment the Heavenly Spirit Dew was born, Lu Qing'er and others, who had already prepared to harvest, acted without hesitation, using their Spirit Gourds to collect all the Heavenly Spirit Dew that appeared on the three crimson trees, and then, after tallying the numbers, happily reported to Li Luo.

Li Luo, Qin Qin Zhulu, Yu Lang, and others sitting on the steps, upon hearing this, even though they had expected it, still couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Two hundred and ninety-five drops... this is more than ten times that of a Mid-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altar. High-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altars are too powerful." Yu Lang's eyes widened until they were round.

Li Luo also nodded; between the High-Grade and Mid-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altars, although there was only a one-grade difference, the result was worlds apart, but High-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altars were few and far between, possibly only four existed within the entire venue; thinking this way, such a harvest was not entirely surprising.

This was truly a windfall, saving them from having to continue rushing about and laboring in the future.

"If we can gather five Spirit Gourds, we can begin preparing to enter the Dragon Blood Fire Domain and head to Dragon Bone Island for the second half of the Academy-Level Competition; if we cannot gather enough, we might have to delay for a few more days." Li Luo smiled: "In any case, our goal is to send as many as five people into Dragon Bone Island."

When the Academy-Level Competition first began, Li Luo's initial goal was actually to send three people into Dragon Bone Island, but the harvest from this cluster of Spirit-Gathering Altars was too abundant, which caused him to raise his goal a bit.

If it were five people, the candidates should be the five captains of the Purple Radiance Squads, after all, in terms of strength, this was the best choice.

"Excluding the academies where Jing Jing Taixu, Sun Sun Dasheng, and Lu Ming are located, the other academies can send at most one or two people into Dragon Bone Island; if we can send five in, that would be considered establishing a preliminary advantage."

Hearing Li Luo's words, Qin Qin Zhulu, Wang Wang Hejiu, and others also nodded; with a numerical advantage, they could almost smoothly advance to the Champion Bone Chair on Dragon Bone Island, and students from other academies should dare not obstruct them.

And these advantages were all established because Li Luo boldly seized this cluster of Spirit-Gathering Altars this time.

So at this moment, even Wang Wang Hejiu, who usually did not get along with Li Luo, became much more polite towards Li Luo, after all, regardless of anything, Li Luo, as the Team Captain, had indeed performed flawlessly this time.

While they were speaking, Bai Bai Doudou and Bai Bai Mengmeng quickly approached from another direction.

"Li Luo, for those other Low-Grade and Mid-Grade Spirit-Gathering Altars, we ultimately collected one hundred and eighty drops of Heavenly Spirit Dew." On the cheeks of the two sisters, joy was spread, and it seemed this harvest had also made them extremely surprised.

"One hundred and eighty drops..."

Li Luo chuckled lightly; this way, within this cluster of Spirit-Gathering Altars, they could harvest a total of over four hundred drops of Heavenly Spirit Dew, whereas before, they had worked hard for nearly a week and only obtained around one hundred drops.

Regarding such a harvest, one could only say it was good that he had not chosen to follow Jing Jing Taixu and eat a little bit of the soup and water.

"Everyone."

Li Luo glanced around at everyone and smiled: "I am very happy to tell everyone that our goal has been achieved; the Heavenly Spirit Dew we currently hold is enough to send five people through the Dragon Blood Fire Domain and ascend to Dragon Bone Island for the final battle."

Smiles also overflowed on everyone's faces.

"Additionally, I have tallied the Heavenly Spirit Dew in our hands; escorting five people across the Dragon Blood Fire Domain is not only sufficient, but there are also over eighty drops left over. This number is somewhat beyond my previous expectations. My thought is that if possible, on the way to the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, we can see if we can find a little more Heavenly Spirit Dew and gather enough for another Spirit Gourd; in this way, we can then escort one more person into Dragon Bone Island." Li Luo spoke again.

"This is a good idea!"

As soon as Li Luo finished speaking, Du Zebeixuan immediately became excited; originally, if they had five spots to enter Dragon Bone Island, those would basically belong to the five captains of the Purple Radiance Squads, after all, in terms of strength, they were indeed the best candidates.

But if there was one more spot, then wouldn't he have a possibility?

Others had no objection to Li Luo's proposal; having one more person was naturally a good thing, and this way, their numerical advantage would be even greater.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Luo smiled: "Then there is still one question now: who should this extra spot be given to?"

Du Zebeixuan said without hesitation: "Besides me, who is more suitable?"

In terms of strength, although he was a bit weaker than the several Purple Radiance captains, compared to the others in the Purple Radiance Squads, he considered himself not to be inferior to anyone.

"That is not necessarily true, and strength is not necessarily the most important factor; after all, you are not strong enough to settle the matter with a single blow, so I think choosing someone with a better brain might be better?" Yu Lang spoke with a grin; he had no real thoughts on that spot, he was just simply unable to stand Du Zebeixuan's arrogant appearance.

"Who are you saying has no brain?" Du Zebeixuan glared angrily at Yu Lang.

At this time, Lu Qing'er, who had not spoken for a long time, also said in a clear, cold voice: "Even if we compare strength, it is not certain that it would be your turn."

In everyone's view, it seemed Lu Qing'er also had thoughts on this spot; however, now that her Ice Phase had evolved to Dao Xia Ba Pin, and she was the Young Lady of the Golden Dragon Treasure Hall, her family background might be richer than anyone else in the venue, so her methods and trump cards could not be underestimated.

Seeing this, Li Luo smiled and said: "Does anyone else have an interest in this spot?"

Bai Bai Mengmeng, Student Xin Fu, Qiu Luo, and others, upon hearing this, simply shook their heads; since someone was already competing, there was no need for them to get involved.

Li Luo nodded and said: "In that case, let's draw lots; that is the fairest way."

Everyone expressed agreement with this, only Du Zebeixuan muttered grumpily, but in the end, he could only accept it.

Li Luo took a branch from the side, split it into three segments, and held it in his hand: "The person who draws the longest branch gets the sixth spot; is there any problem?"

The three nodded, and then almost simultaneously reached out, quickly pulling the three branch segments from Li Luo's hand, and then placed them together to compare.

"It seems this spot is mine." Lu Qing'er's gaze lingered on her segment, which was the longest, and a light smile appeared on her beautiful and charming face.

Actually, she did not have much interest in whether she could enter Dragon Bone Island; after all, she also understood that with her strength, she could not create a decisive result; she chose this extra spot simply because she wanted to stay by Li Luo's side and help him a little more.

Du Zebeixuan's face looked ugly, but he could only accept it.

Yu Lang looked indifferent; even if he really drew it, he planned to give it to Lu Qing'er, because he did not want to go to Dragon Bone Island; with his strength, going there would be purely seeking abuse.

And in this Academy-Level Competition, he had already been abused inexplicably enough.

With the issue of the sixth spot resolved, Li Luo smiled: "Since everything is ready, let's move out."

Everyone agreed and scattered one by one, preparing to leave.

After everyone dispersed, Li Luo turned around, only to see Lu Qing'er standing behind him with a smile, her hands behind her back, her clear eyes looking at him with a touch of coquettishness.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by the young girl.

"Thank you." Lu Qing'er chuckled lightly, she extended her palm, and in her palm lay a branch segment, which was exactly the one she had just drawn.

"What are you talking about?" Li Luo said with righteous indignation.

Lu Qing smiled and said: "The color at the tail of this branch segment is a bit different; it was cultivated by your Wood Phase power in an instant just now, wasn't it?"

Li Luo's expression turned Solemn as he said: "Classmate Lu Qing'er, I do not understand what you are saying; I am an upright person, which is universally recognized by everyone in Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy; if you slander me like this, I will report you to Vice Dean Su Xin."

After speaking, he quickly slipped away.

Lu Qing'er watched Li Luo's scurrying back with her lips slightly curled up, yet in her eyes, there was full of joy.
