Chapter 1068: What's wrong? Can't I 1v4?
Chi Chan could not believe her eyes when she first saw the familiar young man. She was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until the young man walked towards her with a bright smile that she knew she wasn't hallucinating.
A hint of pleasant surprise lit up in her beautiful eyes. Nothing else mattered to her at the moment—she was simply overjoyed to see her ex-student again after a year.
As Li Luo walked over, he completely disregarded the men she had been talking to. He smiled at Chi Chan and said, "Mentor Chi Chan, long time no see."
Chi Chan's beautiful eyes lit up and her voice softened up. "Li Luo, why're you here?"
She knew that Li Luo had come to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, but the place was gargantuan. She had never expected to run into him.
Li Luo grinned and replied, "I have some matters to settle, so I happened to visit the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. My friend mentioned that you're here, so I hurried over to meet you, Mentor."
Hearing this, Chi Chan understood immediately. She took a good look at the young man. Li Luo seemed to have matured in the year they had spent apart. His playful youthfulness was gone, replaced by an air of confidence. This made her pleasantly surprised. It seemed he had not lost his charisma even after coming to this talent-filled continent.
As she was looking at Li Luo, the two individuals who had been sidelined were beginning to feel irritated.
Elder Wang Ling frowned and took a glance at Li Luo. "You're not a student from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College?"
"No. I am a student from Astral Sage College," Li Luo answered.
Wang Ling took a look at Mentor Chen Yun from Lake Sage College. He sounded like he was poking fun as he commented, "It seems like Mentor Chi Chan brought a student along."
Although it was funny, it was also a bit baffling. What was the point in bringing just one student?
Nonetheless, Wang Ling didn't bother to ask any other questions. His eyes turned back to Chi Chan as he asked aggressively, "Mentor Chi Chan, won't you give it a second thought? This may be your very last chance. If nothing works out today, you can prepare to head out. The Heavenly Origin Ancient College cannot let outsiders hang around for too long."
Chi Chan's eyes turned cold again.
However, Li Luo interrupted with a grin before she could say anything, "I thought cannibalism only occurred in remote and barren lands... I definitely didn't expect to see such a thing occurring in an ancient college. Elder, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's reputation for doing something like this?"
Li Luo wasn't pulling any punches. Hearing this, Wang Ling's face darkened immediately as he said coldly, "Mentor Chi Chan, is this how the Astral Sage College teaches its students to act? He shows no respect to his elders at all. If this is how he speaks to others, I'm afraid he'll live a short life. Enough is enough, Mentor Chi Chan. My patience has already been tested. Please leave our school grounds by the end of today!"Trace the roots of this material to novelb!n•
Chi Chan clenched her fists and anger whelmed up within her eyes. However, there was a sense of helplessness within her anger. Although she held a respectable position as a Duke back in the Xia Kingdom, it was of little significance in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
"Wow, this elder here is truly impressive." Li Luo laughed again. There was clearly a sense of sarcasm hidden in his words.
Elder Wang Ling's face turned even darker when he heard the sarcastic laugh. He waved his hands and was about to signal for the enforcement team of the academy to come over and escort these two out.
Li Luo smirked indifferently. "Since the elder wishes to follow the rules now, we'll follow suit. The Astral Sage College will take part in the academic evaluation and earn those resources with our own capabilities."
Wang Ling shot him a strange look. "Li Luo, the other colleges have sent at least four students for the evaluation. It'll be a four-man team during the evaluation. The Astral Sage college only has you, a single student."
"Yes, one student. What's the problem?"
Li Luo then asked, feigning confusion, "I'll fight all four alone. Is that not allowed?"
Everyone fell into silence. Even Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu stared at Li Luo. How could he say something so arrogant with such a humble expression?
Mentor Chen Yun from the Lake Sage College smiled and said, "Li Luo, you mean you want to represent the Astral Sage College for the academic evaluation as a single individual?"
"Mentor, are you hard of hearing? Do I need to repeat myself again?" Li Luo smiled a little. With how despicable this man had acted towards Mentor Chi Chan earlier, Li Luo would naturally not hold back with his words.
A flash of anger flew across Chen Yun's eyes as he snorted. However, his frustration could only be bottled up due to Li Luo's background.
At this point, he finally felt how aggrieved Chi Chan was when they bullied her earlier.
Li Luo stared at Wang Ling and asked, "Elder Wang Ling, I'll participate alone. This is not against the rules, right?"
Wang Ling hesitated for a while before he replied, "Indeed, there's no rule against one person participating in the evaluation... Alright, then. If you all insist, I'll let you."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Li Luo suddenly stopped him.
"Please wait a moment."
"What's the matter now?" Elder Wang Ling asked with a frown.
"May I ask how many vice principals are in the college at the moment?" Li Luo said.
Wang Ling did not feel like answering him. However, he thought for a moment and replied, "Two. One of them is Vice Principal Wu Yu, the other is Vice Principal Qing Man."
"I would like to meet them."
Wang Ling rejected him immediately. "The two vice principals are really busy at the moment and have no time to meet with the Astral Sage College."
At this point, Li Luo slowly pulled out a letter from his robe. It was marked with the crest from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and behind it was a dragon's maw, revealing its sharp fangs.
"I'm not asking to meet the two vice principals as a student of the Astral Sage College. This is a letter from the Dragon's Fang Lineage from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Please help me to pass this on to the two vice principals and see if they can make some time to meet me."
Wang Ling was dumbfounded as he stared at the letter. It was emitting a strange pressure, and he was unsure of how to handle this sudden turn of events.
