Those who were able to reach this point had, without exception, gone through layers of competition and defeated numerous strong opponents; thus, they could be considered the elite of this year's Tianshu Prefecture cohort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their arrival directly shattered the peace of these ruins, and intense battles began to erupt one after another all across the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fierce fighting was also reflected on the leaderboard; whether outside or inside White Spirit Mountain, everyone could see the rankings shifting violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, names at the top would suddenly vanish, replaced by others—a sign that they had been directly eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce battle continued, and countless eyes watched the leaderboard nervously, for as the number of people began to plummet, it signaled that the Academy Grand Exam had reached its most intense stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dilapidated building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo listened to the battles occurring not far away, then looked at the leaderboard projected by the crystal plaque in front of him and sighed, \"The elimination rate is too fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over an hour, the leaderboard, which originally had over a hundred people, now had only sixty remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he hadn't encountered any enemies, and his points hadn't changed, so his ranking had dropped from seventeenth to twenty-third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too brutal,\" Zhao Kuo, who was at his side, nodded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, a figure swept in like the wind, revealing Yu Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too chaotic outside; there's fighting everywhere.\" Yu Lang had been out scouting; his Wind Resonance speed was extremely fast, making him well-suited to be a scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any discoveries?\" Li Luo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang nodded, his expression suddenly becoming more serious, and said, \"I accidentally caught sight of Shi Kong just now, and surprisingly, Xiang Liang, Chi Su, and Zong Fu were with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Luo's gaze instantly sharpened, and he said, \"Are they working together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect they might have teamed up to deal with Lu Qinger,\" Yu Lang licked his lips and said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this Academy Grand Exam, besides Lu Qinger, there was likely no one else who could make Shi Kong go to such great lengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Kuo's expression also shifted; in a sense, their hope of obtaining an admission spot to the Saint Profound Star Academy might not lie with Li Luo, but with Lu Qinger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because only she could take first place, and the extra spots awarded to the first-place winner could carry them through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo's brow slowly furrowed as well, and he said, \"That is highly likely. Shi Kong is very calculating and must have made thorough preparations for this. If Lu Qinger is truly being targeted by them, then she is in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shi Kong had truly made such a plan, then for them, Lu Qinger absolutely could not afford to have anything go wrong, because once the other side eliminated Lu Qinger, the rest of them from Nanfeng Academy might be completely wiped out by Shi Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he could not face the combined forces of Shi Kong, Xiang Liang, Chi Su, and Zong Fu alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was silent for a few moments, then took a deep breath and looked at Yu Lang, asking, \"Which direction did they go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang quickly pointed out a direction and asked, \"You're going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You both understand the importance of Lu Qinger, so I have to go take a look; otherwise, if something happens to her, we probably won't have an easy time either,\" Li Luo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo both nodded upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two stay here for now; it will be more convenient if I go alone,\" Li Luo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo understood that a battle at that level was not something they could participate in, so they didn't say much else, merely offering a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded and said no more. His body trembled, and blue Resonance power flickered, appearing like a layer of water light shielding his form, and then his figure swept out silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in the White Spirit Ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger sat in a high-rise ruin. Her face was beautiful and clear, and the white shirt on her upper body outlined the curve of her budding chest and her slender waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lower body was clad in white trousers, wrapping around her shapely hips while making her already long legs appear even straighter and more slender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long hair hung down, swaying gently at her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful scene seemed somewhat out of place with the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Qinger took a small cloth bag from her bosom containing some dried fruit. She reached in, took some, and chewed slowly, replenishing the day's consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her chewing paused slightly, because she saw a graceful figure sweep in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger took a look; the person who arrived was Di Faqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had met Di Faqing earlier when entering the White Spirit Ruins. The latter was overjoyed to see her and wanted to tag along to earn some points. Lu Qinger hadn't refused; after all, they were classmates, and she didn't mind helping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qinger, you really have brought glory to us girls; so many men have been suppressed by you alone,\" Di Faqing said with a giggle, flattering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger smiled faintly and said, \"It's not over yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Faqing nodded and said, \"In this Academy Grand Exam, Dongyuan Academy is indeed a formidable enemy. I am also a bit worried about that Shi Kong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is indeed a strong enemy.\" Lu Qinger did not deny this; even she felt threatened by that Shi Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, at times like this, classmates should always help each other. That's why I left a mark earlier. Song Yunfeng reminded me before the exam that if I met you at the end and felt you needed help, I should use this mark to notify him. If he sees it, he will come to help,\" Di Faqing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dried fruit Lu Qinger was chewing suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head to look at Di Faqing, her cold, clear eyes becoming much sharper: \"You said you left a mark for Song Yunfeng nearby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Faqing was startled by her sharp gaze and stammered, \"Yes, what's wrong? Song Yunfeng is, after all, our Nanfeng Academy's second-ranked student. If he can come to help you, you won't have to fear that Shi Kong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger stared at Di Faqing for over ten seconds, then she put the small cloth bag into her bosom and stood up with a cold expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm leaving first; you don't need to follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qinger... you, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?\" Di Faqing asked hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger ignored her, tapped her toes, and her lithe body swept out of the dilapidated high-rise, landing in a pile of rubble, intending to sneak away quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn't know if the mark Di Faqing left would bring anything, she didn't want to expose her whereabouts like that; it made her instinctively feel unsafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope I'm just overthinking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Lu Qinger's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she was about to sneak away, her body suddenly tensed. The rubble under her feet burst open, and green light shot out, directly winding around her ankles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack came too suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Qinger was not entirely unprepared. Facing the surprise attack, she remained calm under pressure, tapped her toes, and icy Resonance power surged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incoming green light was instantly frozen, revealing its form—it appeared to be some kind of green vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap, clap, clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of clapping came from ahead. Lu Qinger looked over with an icy face and saw a figure standing on the broken walls, watching her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Shi Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to her left, right, and behind, figures flashed out, completely blocking all her paths of retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Qinger, caught you,\" Xiang Liang said with burning eyes and a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Qinger had Shi Kong in front, and to her left, right, and behind were Xiang Liang, Chi Su, and Zong Fu—three other strong opponents who were also ranked very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, this place felt like a desperate situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on a dilapidated pavilion not far away, crystal light flickered, projecting this scene onto the crystal wall at the foot of White Spirit Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain was ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","58a1bb7da1071ec434eb020040fd45b629b56dab3cd192f9b3d2e983aa10cb73","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-61","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-59",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
