Chapter 0784 – Third School Master

When Jiang Qing'e opened her eyes and rose from the center of the pool, some shadows on the higher levels of the hall sensed it and looked over immediately.

"The sacrificial ignition of her Heart of Light has finally been put out by the holy water," a beautiful woman dressed in pure white commented. She turned her head towards Ling Zhaoying and smiled gently with the good news.

Hearing this, Ling Zhaoying patted her own chest in relief. It had been a month since she brought Jiang Qing'e to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College in the Central Core Divine Continent. Jiang Qing'e had been using the holy water in the Radiance Pool to treat her Heart of Light ever since they arrived, and she was relieved that it was finally healed.

With her Heart of Light cured, Jiang Qing'e was finally out of danger and could return to normal cultivation and training.

"I am sorry for the trouble, Elder Xue," Ling Zhaoying said gratefully.

The pretty lady dressed in white was a well respected elder in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, named Xue Zhi. She was like a mentor to Ling Zhaoying, and it was all thanks to her that the college had allowed Jiang Qing'e to seek treatment in the Radiance Pool.

Xue Zhi waved her hand and responded, "I actually have to thank you for bringing such a nice seedling to me. Who could have imagined that a barren place like an outer divine continent would have hidden such a gem?"

When she finished her sentence, she looked at the slender and stunning figure in the pool. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable love. A ninth-grade light resonance was considered a top talent even in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College.

"However, the sacrificial ignition of her Heart of Light has definitely hurt her body and will affect her path towards the Duke Stage in the future. She will still need a precious treasure to fix her foundation," Xue Zhi explained.

In this instant, Li Luo's face flashed into Ling Zhaoying's mind. They had expected this, and Li Luo had gone to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li precisely to seek such a treasure.

At the same time, there were many other elders around that had turned over to look at the girl in the Radiance Pool.

Their eyes were sparkling.

However, they were interrupted before they could say anything. After she cleared her throat, Elder Xue Zhi proclaimed, "Don't get any funny ideas now. Jiang Qing'e's problem was resolved thanks to me convincing the Third School Master to open up the Radiance Pool. Now that she's fine, don't go thinking you can snatch her away from me. I won't be kind to anyone who does so."

After hearing this, the elders were a little embarrassed and waved their sleeves resentfully.

They had all been trying to come up with reasons to get the ninth-grade light resonance over to their side.

However, since Xue Zhi had been so direct about it, it would be unreasonable to entertain such thoughts any further. After all, it was all thanks to Xue Zhi that Jiang Qing'e could use the Radiance Pool and cure her Heart of Light problem.

Then an impatient voice came over from a young girl at the back. "Are you all done? Hurry up and leave if you are all done. Stop buzzing around my holy hall like house flies."

Ling Zhaoying, Xue Zhi, and the others turned their heads back and saw a little girl sitting on the white jade steps without any regard for her image. She almost seemed like the little sister of your neighbor, but her snow-white hair gave her a unique look. Holding a piece of sugarcane in one hand, she was chewing it with her small mouth as she looked at the people in front of her with impatient and restless eyes.

Immediately, Xue Zhi, and the elders showed respect towards the petite and exquisite snow-white girl.

"Greetings, Third School Master." Xue Zhi, Ling Zhaoying, and the others greeted her respectfully.

The white-haired girl in front of them was none other than the noble Third School Master of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College.

She stood up with the sugar cane still in her mouth and walked over with bare feet as if she would not be stained by any dust. After taking a glance at the beautiful figure in the Radiance Pool, she nodded and commented, "This little girl is really gifted. Not only does she have a ninth-grade light resonance, she also seems to have a very high degree of synergy with the light energy."

Hearing this, Xue Zhi immediately became a little nervous. She had such a hard time finding such a talented seedling to groom—surely the Third School Master was not thinking of taking it away now, right?

Her anxious look was picked up by the white-haired girl immediately, and she sneered. "Look at you, almost quivering in fear. I have met countless ninth-grade light resonance users over the years in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. There is no one in this world that I have never seen before and will fight with you over for," she continued.

"Third School Master, you are a King Stage talent. Your horizons are naturally wider than mine," Xue Zhi replied with an apologetic smile. With that, the white-haired woman pursed her lips and turned around, looking like she was about to leave. However, she paused in her tracks, and her expression suddenly changed. At this moment, she sensed some abnormal movements coming from the Radiance Pool below.

Violent waves appeared on the surface of the originally peaceful water. Countless wisps of light energy were rushing madly towards the center of the pool.

Everyone was drawn towards this aggressive development.

When they looked over at the deep parts of the Radiance Pool, they noticed that the wisps of light energy were being drawn into Jiang Qing'e's body.

All of a sudden, the light resonant energy in Jiang Qing'e started increasing at an amazing rate.

The radiant light energy condensed into shiny Heavenly Pearls around her one after another.

Finally, it ended when nine Heavenly Pearls formed. The elders were all shocked at this sudden development.

"Nine Heavenly Pearls—what a strong foundation!" one of the elders exclaimed. This was not something that could be easily achieved in the Heavenly Pearl Stage without a solid foundation and talent.

Back at House Luolan, Jiang Qing'e had actually achieved five Heavenly Pearls when she released the seal. However, three of them were damaged during the great war. Who would have thought that igniting her Heart of Light would bring about such an interesting development? Not only had she replenished the three Heavenly Pearls that she had lost, she had gained even more power in the process.

She had gained Nine Heavenly Pearls instantly.

"Although the sacrificial ignition of her Heart of Light nearly cost her her life, it ended up being a blessing in disguise. She was purified by the enormous energy from the Heart of Light and then aided by the Radiance Pool, causing a sudden spike in her strength," the Third School Master explained as she took another bite of her sugar cane with her white teeth. This time, there was a slight hint of surprise hidden in her voice.

"Looking at it, the Nine Heavenly Pearl Stage is not her limit yet. She is planning to reach the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Stage in one go," Xue Zhi stated as she grinned happily. If Jiang Qing'e succeeded in reaching the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Stage, it would be an outstanding achievement even in the famous Heavenly Star Hall of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College.

As the elders of the school continued to watch from the top, the Nine Heavenly Pearls around Jiang Qing'e started to glow brighter and brighter. Finally, the pearls reached their limit and exploded at the same time.

A bright and glaring flash enveloped the whole Radiance Pool, and a pillar of light emerged from it.

At the same moment, the light resonant energy radiating from Jiang Qing'e started increasing in quantity. Her power was spiking at an amazing pace. Such intensity clearly indicated that she was about to step into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Stage!

It seemed like the Heart of Light crisis had brought an unexpected opportunity to Jiang Qing'e.

"Not bad." The Third School Master nodded slightly.

She was full of smiles towards this unexpected development, but she continued to ask curiously, "The breakthrough has completed, so why is she still there?"

She had noticed that Jiang Qing'e was still standing in the Radiance Pool with her eyes shut tight. Wisps of light energy continued to flow around her like waves.

It was as if something within Jiang Qing'e's body was still attracting the holy light energy.

At this point, the Third School Master stopped chewing on her sugarcane and her eyes lit up in a dazzling, mysterious glow. It was as if her glowing eyes could see right through everything in the world, and she was staring deeply into Jiang Qing'e.

It was a shocking change in her body. Seeing this, the Third School Master tightened her fist for a moment, and the sugarcane was crushed into bits, juice splashing out in every direction.

She had no time to bother with the mess though. She slowly explained to the others, "I see a new resonance being born in her. It seems like the Radiance Pool has allowed her to give birth to a second resonance during her breakthrough."

When she finished her sentence, Xue Zhi, Ling Zhaoying, and the other elders all watched on in shock.

"A breakthrough from the Heavenly Pearl Stage to the Heavenly Resonance Stage can give birth to another resonance?!"

"What resonance is it?"

"What grade is it?"

They all asked frantically.

Slowly, the Third School Master took out another piece of sugarcane to chew as she explained, "Another light resonance... and it's ninth-grade." Everyone was stunned by this.

The elders all looked at Xue Zhi with eyes full of envy.

Double ninth-grade light resonance?! Jiang Qing'e had to be the living manifestation of light itself! Xue Zhi had obtained an excellent catch!

As seniors in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, they had seen all kinds of gifted and talented individuals. Even though each of them was eager to get a ninth-grade light resonance under their wing, they had not lost their composure over it. However, a dual ninth-grade light resonance was a truly rare sight even to them.

Very, very few dual light resonances had been recorded in the history of the college.

Even Xue Zhi was pleasantly surprised at this development. However, her heart froze immediately when she sensed the Third School Master quietly watching her from the side.

"Third School Master, let me bring Qing'e back for now. We won't hold you up any further," she muttered out with a forced smile on her face.

The Third School Master simply pressed on Xue Zhi's shoulder with the sugarcane in her hand and a sweet smile appeared on her delicate face.

"Little Zhi, you do remember that I was the one that brought you into the academy all those years ago... right?"
