Chapter 78

"I'll take that as a compliment." Hearing Lu Li's words, Shangguan Wan'er closed the book in her hand, then picked up the little loli Empress and placed her on her lap, her face carrying a faint smile as always, gentle as jade.

"You can think of it that way." Shrugging, Lu Li asked: "By the way, what do you need me for?"

"In a while, I plan to set off for the Heavenly Mansion. I came to you this Finish Finish Time mainly to see if you are interested in setting off together." Shangguan Wan'er didn't waste Finish Finish Time and stated her intention directly.

As for whether Lu Li had been admitted to the Heavenly Mansion, Shangguan Wan'er was not worried at all. Even she had been admitted to the Heavenly Mansion, so Lu Li would definitely receive an admission notice from the Heavenly Mansion.

In fact, it was highly likely that he would receive the admission notice from the Heavenly Mansion even earlier than she did.

Of course, if Lu Li rejected the admission to the Heavenly Mansion, Shangguan Wan'er would have nothing to say, but she didn't think such a thing would happen.

The reason she was so certain was that during this period, she had heard her grandfather mention that the Master of the Heavenly Mansion, Wen Wen Wen Xiuyuan, had asked him about Lu Li's situation.

"Heading to the Heavenly Mansion?" Understanding the reason why Shangguan Wan'er came to him, Lu Li pondered for a few seconds: "About when are you setting off?"

Just as Shangguan Wan'er thought, Lu Li had indeed received the Heavenly Mansion admission notice, on the very day the Empress of the Night left.

Even if Shangguan Wan'er hadn't come to him, Lu Li had planned to consider finding a Finish Finish Time to set off after completing the reconstruction of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the crafting of the Swords of Revealing Light.

Since there was someone he knew well traveling together, it would be good to have mutual support.

"A month later." Seeing Lu Li agree, Shangguan Wan'er held up a small hand as white as scallion roots: "I plan to set off in a month, and Sister Sister Yanran will be with us then too."

Like Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Sister Sister Yanran had also received admission to the Heavenly Mansion, and since the two were best friends, Lu Li was not surprised that they would travel together.

"A month? I can use this Finish Finish Time to properly plan Kisara's background and settings," Lu Li thought quickly in his heart: "And before leaving, I also need to properly say goodbye to City Lord Cang, President Yu, Principal Gu, and others."

These people had all given him a lot of help before; if he left without a word, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

145. One After Another, the Path of Trials!

"Then it's settled. I will set off early and head to Cangdu first." Finally, Lu Li nodded and accepted Shangguan Wan'er's invitation: "See you then."

After chatting for a few minutes, Lu Li hung up the communication with Shangguan Wan'er.

However, the next second, he received another communication request.

"Liu Sister Sister Yanran?" Seeing the target of this communication request, Lu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Come to think of it, this was the first Finish Finish Time they had been in contact since they exchanged methods.

Did these two best friends make an appointment? One after another. With this thought flashing through his mind, Lu Li connected Liu Sister Sister Yanran's communication request.

Unlike Shangguan Wan'er's library background, Liu Sister Sister Yanran seemed to be in a jungle, surrounded by greenery, with small animals occasionally appearing in the frame, looking extremely peaceful. Coupled with the light green short skirt she was wearing today, Liu Sister Sister Yanran at this moment seemed to have transformed into a forest elf, every frame enough to become a beautiful picture, making one's eyes light up.

"Lu Li, did I disturb you?" Reaching out to touch the little bird on her shoulder, Liu Sister Sister Yanran looked at Lu Li with a faint smile in her eyes.

"No, I just finished communicating with Wan'er." Waving his hand, Lu Li indicated it was fine. Even through the screen, Liu Sister Sister Yanran's voice was still so ethereal; she was also one of the people Lu Li knew with the most unique voice.

"Wan'er? That is to say, she invited you to go to the Heavenly Mansion together?" Hearing Lu Li's words, light swirled in Liu Sister Sister Yanran's beautiful eyes, and she quickly guessed the content of their conversation, then immediately made a suggestion: "Lu Li, shall we set off for Cangdu together then?"

"Are you asking me out?" Rubbing his nose, Lu Li didn't expect Liu Sister Sister Yanran to propose this, but these two were worthy of being best friends; what they did was almost the same.

"Yes, I just don't know if you'll do me the honor." Liu Sister Sister Yanran teased.

Was he being teased? Hearing the teasing in Liu Sister Sister Yanran's tone, Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head, but he still said: "Setting off from Cangling City to Cangdu does pass through Cangyue City, so let's go together then."

He had only been to Cangdu once, and he hadn't stayed for too long at the Finish Finish Time, so having an acquaintance would be much more convenient.

"I'll send you my address later, see you then." Getting Lu Li's reply, Liu Sister Sister Yanran's mouth curled into a perfect arc; clearly, she was in a very good mood.

"You contacted me, it wouldn't just be for this, right?" Seeing her expression of having finished, Lu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Can't it be?" Seeing this, Liu Sister Sister Yanran asked back with a bit of playfulness, a playfulness different from her usual ethereal nature: "But it's a pity, Wan'er was one step faster."

"Fine, whatever you like." Shrugging, Lu Li didn't care; anyway, there was no loss or gain. Having one more person to talk to on the road was not bad, so it wouldn't be too lonely.

"Then that's it, see you later." Waving her hand, Liu Sister Sister Yanran hung up the communication and stared blankly. The Silver Moon Fox on the side leaned over, rubbing its head against Liu Sister Sister Yanran's small face, clearly not understanding what its master was thinking.

"Let's go, we can't fall too far behind." Noticing the furry feeling on her face, Liu Sister Sister Yanran came back to her senses, turned over and sat on the Silver Moon Fox, and swept into the distance, startling flocks of birds. She didn't want to be left too far behind by Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er.

"This Finish Finish Time there shouldn't be anyone looking for me, right?" Hanging up the communication with Liu Sister Sister Yanran, this thought flashed through Lu Li's mind, and the personal terminal received another communication request. The target of this communication request was Meng Fei, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie, who was his Senior Sister.

Lu Li's expression couldn't help but become strange: "What kind of good day is it today? Why are they all coming in a bunch?"

Thinking so, Lu Li didn't delay and pressed the communication button. Immediately after, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's delicate face, which mixed mature and youthful temperaments, appeared on the light screen.

Compared to Shangguan Wan'er's sea of books and Liu Sister Sister Yanran's jungle background, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's background was no less inferior; it was a lake with rippling blue waves. Perhaps because of the angle, the distance even formed a spectacle where the water and sky were the same color.

"Although the environment of the Magic Card civilization has not been too polluted by industry, I always feel that these people are very good at choosing scenery." Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but whisper.

"Lu Li?" On the light screen, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie saw Lu Li seemed to be saying something, but because the sound was too low, she couldn't hear clearly.

"Senior Sister, what do you need me for?" Shaking his head, Lu Li didn't explain, but asked back.

"Just wanted to ask, about when are you coming to the Heavenly Mansion to report." Seeing this, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie didn't care and said something that left Lu Li speechless again.

"In about a month, I've made an appointment with a few friends to set off together." Lu Li twitched the corner of his mouth. This was the third one, right? If it weren't for the fact that Meng Meng Meng Ningdie had nothing to do with Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Sister Sister Yanran, he would have suspected that the three of them had agreed to take turns teasing him.

"Is that so?" Getting Lu Li's reply, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie nodded and reminded: "Since that's the case, then you should prepare well during this Finish Finish Time, and strive to get a good result on the Path of Trials."

"Path of Trials?" Lu Li, who was still complaining in his heart, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This enrollment report seemed not as simple as he thought.

"Although it is one of the four major academies of the Ancient Kingdom, the Heavenly Mansion is not built within the Ancient Kingdom, but in a transformed dimensional plane," Meng Meng Meng Ningdie explained: "And between the main plane of the Magic Card civilization and the Heavenly Mansion, there is a Path of Trials. This is a test set by the first Master of the Heavenly Mansion."

"All new students entering the academy for the first Finish Finish Time need to pass the test of the Path of Trials. This is also the first test for you to enter the Heavenly Mansion."

"In other words, although we have been admitted to the Heavenly Mansion, to complete the enrollment report, we still need to pass the test of the Path of Trials first?" Hearing Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's explanation, Lu Li's face showed a thoughtful expression. Sure enough, none of the four major academies were simple.

"That's right." Meng Meng Meng Ningdie nodded: "And there is one more point. The teaching method of the Heavenly Mansion is different from other academies. Although it is a four-year system, it is not a step-by-step promotion from freshman to senior, but adopts a credit ranking system."

"As long as you get enough credits, you can improve your ranking. The benefits brought by the improvement of ranking are many, the most direct of which is more and better resource allocation. Therefore, the competition within the Heavenly Mansion is far more intense than you imagine."

146. A Martial-Virtuous School!

"This teaching method sounds quite interesting." Silently listening to Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's explanation, Lu Li had a rough impression of the Heavenly Mansion.

Compared to the step-by-step grade promotion of other universities, the Heavenly Mansion clearly advocates speaking with strength and obtaining everything with strength. Perhaps it is precisely because of such a teaching policy that the Heavenly Mansion can become the top academy in the Eastern Region and one of the four major academies of the Ancient Kingdom.

"It is indeed quite interesting, especially since you are the top candidate for the college entrance examination this year." Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's face showed an inexplicable look: "Basically, every top candidate for the college entrance examination can get 10% more credits than ordinary candidates. These credits are hot commodities in the academy."

Although Lu Li's identity as an original Magic Card crafter was relatively special, neither the Empress of the Night nor she would overly interfere with Lu Li's daily life, because doing so would only affect Lu Li's growth.

Of course, if any rats in the dark dared to take action against Lu Li, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie would also let the other party understand that she was not to be trifled with.

"Hot commodities? I think it's being picked as a soft persimmon." Lu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not hear Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's meaning? After all, the Heavenly Mansion implements a credit ranking system, so naturally, everyone hopes to get more credits.

This Senior Sister is a bit unkind!

"Whether it was me or the teacher, when we entered the school, we swept through our peers, and for four years, we swept through the entire Heavenly Mansion's peers, and even students of higher grades." Mentioning the academy life back then, Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's tone carried a hint of nostalgia: "We have high expectations for you."

"Then I really can't lose the school's reputation." Always feeling a breath of Versailles coming to his face, hearing Meng Meng Meng Ningdie's words, Lu Li couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The Heavenly Mansion admits about a thousand candidates every year. Although the number is not large, it can even be described as pitifully small, but the candidates who can be admitted to the Heavenly Mansion are basically in the ranks of geniuses, quasi-heavenly pride, and heavenly pride of the current year.

In such an environment, both the Empress of the Night and Meng Fei could sweep through the entire Heavenly Mansion, which is enough to show that their strength is far from ordinary.

"That's for sure, so come on, little Junior Brother." Meng Meng Meng Ningdie waved her small pink fist, and then hung up the communication.

"I always feel that whether it's the teacher or this Senior Sister, they are a bit unreliable. Should I say they are from the same school?" Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but complain, and then looked up at the outside of the house: "Is it night again?"

The sky was already full of stars. Lu Li always felt that he hadn't done much, and Finish Finish Time had passed quietly.

But in fact, reconstructing the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and crafting the Swords of Revealing Light today had already consumed a lot of his Finish Finish Time, not to mention that he later tested the effect of the Multiple Fusion authority, and even Hearing Hearing Mana and Bai Bai had now turned back into Magic Cards and returned to his body.

"Since that's the case, it's Finish Finish Time to try the effect of the Spirit Plant Blessing. After all, I promised Celestin in the Crescent Land, but it's a pity that I haven't had any Finish Finish Time these few days." Raising his hand and waving, Lu Li activated the blessing of the Spirit Plant Blessing, and immediately he felt a breath full of life force using himself as a coordinate, silently infiltrating into the void.

In the originally simple house, countless vegetation tumbled from the void. Celestin stepped on these emerging vegetation and slowly walked from the void to Lu Li, like an elf in nature.

With Celestin's arrival, the whole room was full of the vitality of nature.

"Lu Li, we meet again." The gentle voice was like the Mother of the Earth. Celestin's beautiful face carried a moving smile, and her eyes swept around from Finish Finish Time to Finish Finish Time, clearly full of curiosity about everything in front of her: "I didn't expect it to really succeed."

"I was just holding the attitude of trying." Hearing Celestin's words, Lu Li shrugged: "Are you used to it?"

Although he summoned Celestin from the Crescent Land to the main plane of the Magic Card civilization through the blessing of the Spirit Plant Blessing, and he himself had no problems, he was not sure if Celestin, as the summoned person, was in a normal situation.

"It's okay." Closing her eyes, she opened them again after a while. Celestin's eyes were filled with tranquility: "Although the strength aspect has not been too restricted, the rules of the Magic Card civilization plane are more perfect than the Crescent Land, so it still takes a period of Finish Finish Time to adapt."

Adapting means that Celestin can exert all her strength in the main plane, but considering that her body is the World Tree, and the Crescent Land also had complete world rules before it shattered, this is understandable.

"However, in this way, the civilization level of the Crescent Land before it collapsed might be comparable to the Magic Card civilization. It's just that I don't know what the reason is that could make such a powerful civilization dissipate, eventually leaving only the Ancient Spirit God Tree and Celestin." In his heart, Lu Li thought silently.

"Lu Li?" Seeming to notice the doubt in Lu Li's heart, Celestin called out softly. Thanks to the blessing of the Spirit Plant Blessing, this World Tree spirit had a lot of good feelings for Lu Li.

"Nothing, just suddenly wanted to know what the reason for the collapse of the Crescent Land was."

"Sorry, I don't have memories in this regard." Hearing Lu Li's words, Celestin shook her head.

"Is that so?" Seeing this, Lu Li didn't ask further, but a strange look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Celestin: "If outsiders saw the scene just now, they might think you are a Magic Card elf summoned by me."

Recalling, Celestin's way of appearing was indeed very similar to some high-level Magic Card elves.

"Magic Card elf? You can also understand it that way." Celestin tilted her head: "After all, my spirit core is linked to you, and I was able to leave the Crescent Land because of you."

"The essence is still different." Lu Li shook his head: "The effect of the Spirit Plant Blessing is two-way, and you can also summon me to the Crescent Land."

"But it's only the Crescent Land." Celestin also shook her head: "Compared to it, it's too single."

"Actually, I think the environment of the Crescent Land is also quite good, very suitable for retirement." Clapping his hands, Lu Li ended this topic: "Okay, let's not talk about these for now. Anyway, as long as it is concluded that you can move around in the main plane through the effect of the Spirit Plant Blessing, that's enough."

"Hmm." Hearing Lu Li's words, Celestin nodded gently, and a trace of tenderness added to her eyes as she looked at him.

"It's not early now, I'll take you out for a walk and eat something by the way." His tone choked, Lu Li asked: "However, do you eat?"
