This little girl is actually quite capable, but I wonder if she'll be able to hold her own once she gets to the Saint Profound Star Academy and meets the 'Empress'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're getting more and more ridiculous. 'Empress'? What am I then? The Emperor?\" Li Luo said, annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In your dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingqing gave a light huff, then stopped wasting words with him and handed over a formula: \"This is the resonant liquid I plan to refine later. Familiarize yourself with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo hurriedly took it and examined it carefully. The fourth-grade resonant liquid Yan Lingqing intended to refine was called \"Blue Algae Resonant Liquid.\" Its refining difficulty was considered quite high among fourth-grade resonant liquids; clearly, she was determined to defeat that Song Qiuyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo took one look at the materials required for this \"Blue Algae Resonant Liquid\" and couldn't help but gasp, as it required over four hundred types of materials. To perfectly blend these materials without the slightest error clearly required extremely high standards for one's own Resonant Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is a fourth-grade resonant liquid formula; the difficulty is truly immense,\" Li Luo sighed. He could currently refine second-grade resonant liquids, but those required at most one hundred materials; they really couldn't compare to this fourth-grade one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the fusion of materials for refining fourth-grade resonant liquids was exceptionally complex. Second-grade resonant liquid materials required at most double fusion, but fourth-grade resonant liquid materials required six-fold fusion; this increase in difficulty was simply a leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, people began to deliver the refining materials one after another, stacking them neatly. As the assistant, Li Luo began to carefully inspect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yan Lingqing smiled, quite satisfied with Li Luo's attentiveness and diligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the lead Resonant Art masters from the various Resonant Liquid and Light Houses in Tianshu Prefecture entered their respective refining rooms. Li Luo also saw Song Qiuyu enter on the side of the Songzi House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she entered, her gaze turned toward Yan Lingqing. The two women's eyes met, and sparks seemed to be faintly surging between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingqing was expressionless, but faint veins appeared on her fair hands, which were tightly clenched together, showing just how much her emotions were fluctuating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like you really hate her?\" Li Luo also noticed Yan Lingqing's mood and asked with some confusion. After all, Yan Lingqing usually didn't seem to have much interest in anything other than refining resonant liquids and lights, yet she had such a strong reaction to this Song Qiuyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yan Lingqing was silent for a moment, then said indifferently: \"Actually, our relationship used to be quite good. I even strongly recommended her to join my teacher's refining team. But later, during a crucial competition, she caused us to lose due to a clumsy mistake. The teacher was very angry at the time, and after that, she chose to withdraw from our refining team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally, that wouldn't have been a big deal, but shortly after, she joined another refining team—and it just so happened that this team was the very one that had defeated us in that competition because of her mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said: \"That's another ungrateful wretch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yan Lingqing didn't provide more information, it wasn't hard to guess that there was likely more to Song Qiuyu's clumsy mistake; it might even be that she had been bought off by the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Qiuyu's recommender, the latter's betrayal undoubtedly made Yan Lingqing feel extremely guilty toward her teacher, so it was no wonder she couldn't control her emotions whenever she saw Song Qiuyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingqing didn't speak again, just lowered her head to organize the materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo didn't continue to ask either, but kept checking the materials until another bell rang in the center of the venue, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly soared and boiled over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff members walked into the venue, announcing the Resonant Art masters of each Resonant Liquid and Light House participating in the competition one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the names of these Resonant Art masters were called, they drew cheers from the audience; they were all quite famous in Tianshu Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a viewing platform, President Lu of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce looked at the refining table of the Xiyang House and laughed: \"This Li Luo really is everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, holding a small umbrella, Lu Qinger smiled and said: \"He is a Resonant Art master too, so he's here to gain some experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jewelry-laden President Lu looked at Lu Qinger's beautiful and moving face and probed: \"I say, Qinger, you seem to have been getting a bit close to Li Luo lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger's eyes flickered, and she said calmly: \"What about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Lu gave a dry laugh and said: \"I just wanted to say, Li Luo is, after all, someone with a marriage contract...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger stared at the young, handsome figure behind the crystal wall in the venue, was silent for a moment, and then said: \"That kind of marriage contract should be in name only, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows about that...\" President Lu spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Uncle, you're overthinking it. I don't like Li Luo; it's just that he has helped me and saved me, so I have a good relationship with him. You can't forbid me from even making friends, can you?\" Lu Qinger said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Lu hurriedly shook his head, appearing to heave a sigh of relief as he said: \"But it's good that you don't like him. You've now entered the Saint Profound Star Academy and are going to the Royal City, where your mother is... and you should try to mention Li Luo less in front of your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger was startled, and her willow-leaf brows immediately furrowed: \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Lu stammered, finally saying: \"It's all some grudges and entanglements from the previous generation. Don't ask; just don't mention Li Luo in front of your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some confusion welled up in Lu Qinger's eyes, and she finally nodded gently, but for some reason, a sense of annoyance suddenly rose in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a sharp sound came from the venue, and everyone understood that the Grand Festival competition was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the venue suddenly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the refining rooms composed of various crystal walls, those Resonant Art masters also became solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, all the Resonant Art masters suddenly erupted with Water Resonance power or Light Resonance power, and amidst the many cheers, the materials in their hands dissolved rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Festival competition had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6163a2ec1feec733b460f564b92fe501c8ec0750fb505d76f598ee550271827d","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-84","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-82",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
