Absolute Resonance Chapter 1471: Four Ancient Colleges' Trial

Chapter 1471: Four Ancient Colleges' Trial

When the Domain Traversal Battles of the inner divine continents’ sage colleges ended, the attention then turned towards the most central region, where the ancient colleges’ battles were taking place. After all, the upcoming battles would be of the highest caliber. As the four ancient colleges were the core of the Academic Federation, the sage colleges had always held a sense of admiration and yearning towards them. Even though they sometimes criticized the ancient colleges for monopolizing the bulk of the cultivation resources, they had to admit that their existence was the reason why the Academic Federation was still able to stand tall today.

There were numerous high-grade Dukes that had walked out of their halls, becoming pillars that supported the Academic Federation.

Most importantly, the amount of Kings that were produced in ancient colleges far surpa.s.sed the sage colleges.

Thus, the final trial of those who attended the ancient colleges was the climax of the Domain Traversal Battles.

"This is the highlight." Even Li Luo was at attention at this point. At the same time, he complained. "The outer divine continents fought for a long time and things were a mess. In the end, it was all about the single battle against a seventh-grade Duke. We really just are a bunch of turtles in a well."

Hearing Li Luo's words, which berated even himself, Chi Chan and the rest didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "How can we possibly compare? The outer divine continents are always the weakest of the three groups."

Li Luo shrugged. What he had said was a mere pa.s.sing comment, and if their opponent had been an upper seventh-grade Duke, he would’ve been complaining about the loss instead.

His gaze then turned to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's platform, specifically to Jiang Qing'e.She was outstanding even amongst the prodigies of Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, and her temperament and demeanor could not be ignored. There were several individuals in the squad she led, but the only ones he knew were Ning Meng and Yue Zhiyu, whom he had met in the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. When Li Luo's gaze fell upon her from afar, it was as though they had a telepathic connection; Jiang Qing'e raised her head and their eyes met. A subtle smile appeared on the latter's perpetually calm facial features, which shocked the others who were secretly watching her.

Behind her was a young man. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but his serene smile gave others a sense of comfort. His name was Xiao Feng, a senior mentor of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. He was a lower seventh-grade Duke and could be said to have the highest cultivation level in the squad. However, in terms of actual battle power, he wasn’t Jiang Qing'e's opponent.

When Xiao Feng saw the rare smile on Jiang Qing'e's face, he grinned. "It seems that the squad leader has a great relations.h.i.+p with Li Luo."

Jiang Qing'e was happy to hear Xiao Feng's words and thus replied, "We grew up together and experienced countless dangers. Our relations.h.i.+p is naturally good."

"It's truly enviable to see childhood sweethearts getting together." Xiao Feng signed, and at the same time, he suppressed the bitter and dull look in his eyes.

Jiang Qing'e smiled neutrally. When the squad was being formed, Xiao Feng had taken the initiative to join her squad and had given the reason that her potential was great. Even so, she was able to see through him at a glance and understood the true reason. Even though he had kept his feelings hidden, he could not possibly hide them from her Heart of Light. Even so, she did not reject him. After all, she needed to increase the strength of her squad. Furthermore, Xiao Feng was a smart person and he knew that the relations.h.i.+p between her and Li Luo ran deep. If he were to reveal his feelings, Jiang Qing'e would choose to kick him out and reduce the squad's strength rather than leaving him around like an eyesore.

"Make your preparations. The next battle will be bitter and my goals will be high. We cannot lose before we meet a squad led by an eighth-grade Duke," Jiang Qing'e reminded him.

The rule for the four ancient colleges was that once a team lost twice, they would be eliminated. Their ranking will then be calculated based on the number of wins.

Jiang Qing'e wanted to attain more victories to increase the squad's contribution value. After which, more Celestial Mirror Sand could be allocated to them.

Dong!

As the bells chimed within the ancient colleges’ region, the squads began to draw lots to dictate their opponents.

After which, pillars of light fell, engulfing the squads and sending them into minor worlds to battle.

Intense battles immediately broke out.

The atmosphere was boiling over. Regardless of whether it was the outer or inner divine continent squads, all of them were glued to the sight of the battles.

There were numerous upper seventh-grade Dukes clas.h.i.+ng with each other.

The squads led by eighth-grade Dukes had not met each other yet, but as more teams were eliminated, the odds would increase. Li Luo was only focused on Jiang Qing'e's squad. ??ƝоβƐŝ

In the first two hours, Jiang Qing'e's squad smashed through every opponent in an unstoppable fas.h.i.+on and attained victory.

However, as time pa.s.sed, the squads she met began to grow stronger.

At a certain point, they met a squad from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College with two seventh-grade Dukes, one upper and one lower. Jiang Qing'e's exchange with the upper seventh-grade Duke was incredibly intense, and her third-grade Transcendent cultivation revealed its tyrannical prowess. Whenever her sacred light resonant power touched the opponent, everything purified, regardless of how fierce or powerful her opponent's attacks were.

Their struggle captivated everyone watching.

Atop the gigantic golden platform, w.a.n.g Xuanjin, Elder Bai Yu, and Elder Jin Xi were also paying attention to this. As they watched Jiang Qing'e, they couldn't help but to be shocked.

Elder Bai Yu hissed lightly. "Three middle ninth-grade light resonances? This sort of talent should be the highest we've seen in decades. It looks like the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College is about to produce another Radiant King."

"Li Luo's talent is also extraordinary. Even though his resonant grades are not as high as Jiang Qing'e's, the fact that he has primary and secondary resonances means that his future potential will not be ordinary either. Furthermore, the two of them are a couple. The Dragon's Fang Lineage is indeed blessed," w.a.n.g Xuanjin said with a smile.

"It's a pity. If only they belonged to the Academic Federation, they would become central pillars to support us," Elder Jin Xi lamented.

"Elder Jin Xi, you are being a little too narrow-minded. When it comes to the Others, all living creatures are in the same camp. No matter if they are from the Academic Federation or from another power, they will stand with us shoulder-to-shoulder," w.a.n.g Xuanjin said.

Elder Bai Yu and Elder Jin Xi nodded in agreement. When the Others descended, all of humanity and the other living races in the ten divine continents would be on the same side.

As the three Kings exchanged words, the battle with Jiang Qing'e in the minor world reached its end. With the power of her third-grade Transcendent cultivation, her triple middle ninth-grade light resonances, and her Archaic Runes, she had overcome the upper seventh-grade Duke and attained victory.

"The Archaic Runes condensed by her triple middle ninth-grade light resonances are truly terrifying." Many people sighed. This was the first time they had seen something like this, and the power spike they brought was startling. When Jiang Qing'e's squad won, it marked their tenth victory and they were now in tenth place. As time pa.s.sed, more and more squads were eliminated and thus, the difficulty of attaining victory only skyrocketed.

It was not until Jiang Qing'e's squad had obtained twelve victories that they drew their first stumbling block.

Their opponent was the squad led by the Mythical Spirit Ancient College's eighth-grade Duke, Zhou Jun.
