Chapter 1080: Three Consecutive Victories
The once bustling stands fell deathly silent when Wang Dao hit the ground. The atmosphere suddenly turned muted as the students from the sage colleges revealed expressions of disbelief.
The seven-pearl Wang Dao had been defeated by the five-pearl Li Luo with just a single strike.
How had this happened?
They could all see that Wang Dao had never let his guard down for even moment during their confrontation. He had immediately utilized his mightiest killing move, a Duke Art.
When the situation culminated in a clash, one Duke Art was crushed like a brittle twig.
The issue was that Wang Dao's Duke Art was the one that had been destroyed!
The numerous gazes then turned towards the figure who was still stationary in his previous attacking pose. The ferocious aura that surrounded his body gave off the impression of an unsheathed godly weapon, sending chills down everyone's spines.
His combat power was truly terrifying. It was not surprising that he was in the Empyrean Chronicle.
"My God! That guy is way too frightening!" Sun Dasheng was flabbergasted as he stared at Li Luo.
Lu Ming looked stunned as well, then her gaze turned complicated. Thinking back to the Holy Grail Meet, she was capable of exchanging blows with Li Luo at the time. Alas, the gap between the two was now an unbreachable abyss.
"Is this the advantage conferred by the inner divine continent? It's no wonder the inner divine continent sage colleges feel superior to us," Lu Ming bitterly commented.
If one were to discount the fact that he possessed prodigious talent, Li Luo's gigantic leap in strength could only have been due to the amazing cultivation resources that had access to. This was something the outer divine continents could not compare with.
"Li Luo's resonance art is also a true Duke Art!" Sun Dasheng's gaze had turned feverish. Only those from the outer divine continents would know how difficult it was to learn a real Duke Art at their cultivation level. Although Heavenly Pearls had it easier, those who were capable of wielding one were rare and far between.
"His Duke Art is also at a high realm. If i'm not wrong, he has already reached Grand Perfection," Jing Taixu said in a gloomy voice.
Thinking back to the Holy Grail Meet, the Enlightened Sage College's Lan Lan had borrowed the power of the Enlightened Sage Scripture Duke Art to suppress the geniuses of the opposing sage colleges. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
However, the Enlightened Sage Scripture had been created by their college's principal and was not extraordinary. Even then, the conditions to master it were harsh, and even Jing Taixu had suffered without success when he had the opportunity to learn it.
Upon landing, Mentor Chi Chan eyed him intently before saying, "Li Luo, I wouldn't dare to call you my student any longer with how amazing you are."
Li Luo waved his hand in response. "What are you trying to say, Mentor? I'm only at the five-pearl tier now. Wait for me to reach the King Stage before you say such words. It won't be too late then."
"How pompous." Mentor Chi Chan rolled her eyes, but seeing how she couldn't hide the happiness within them, it was clear she was extremely pleased with Li Luo's performance.
"Five-pearl tier cultivation and a Grand Perfection Duke Art. Li Luo, if this news were sent back to the Astral Sage College, it might very well demoralize Yu Lang and Qin Zhulu." Chi Chan sighed.
"I don't have a choice. Someone has to tell them that the harsh truths of the world are cruel." Li Luo lamented sincerely.
Mentor Chi Chan's smile deepened as she shook her head and asked, "How is your energy consumption? I'm afraid there may be intense battles ahead."
Li Luo shook his hand as he replied humbly, "A seven-pearl opponent isn't a big deal."
With his current strength, unless it was a nine-pearl genius, individuals at the Heavenly Pearl Tier would not be enough to give him pressure.
Mentor Chi Chan seemed extremely satisfied. His confidence did give others a sense of comfort.
In any event, the academic evaluation continued.
In the next hour, Li Luo went through another two fights, both being single battles. The competition went smoothly as he did not encounter any troublesome foes.
Unknowingly, Li Luo had already put the Astral Sage College at tier three despite being solo.
This allowed him to enter the upper bracket.
His three consecutive victories had caused the people who had mocked him to turn solemn. At this point, they could not understand just how a five-pearl was able to burst forth with the strength of at least an eight-pearl. It was difficult for anyone at the Heavenly Pearl Tier to compete with him.
Li Luo had encountered an eight-pearl opponent in the third battle. Although the opponent was not decimated by a single strike, Li Luo held the upper hand the entire way and eventually won.
At this point, everyone understood that if he did not encounter the peak experts at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, there might be no one capable of stopping him.
Of course, things might be different if he were to engage in a group battle.
As this thought lingered in the crowd's minds, Li Luo drew a red lot for his fourth battle.
