Chapter 0624: Records Were Meant To Be Broken

When the two had finally arrived back in college, Li Luo could feel countless gazes falling upon them. Well more specifically, it was on Jiang Qing’e.

A hint of anticipation and shock could be seen within them.

The news of Jiang Qing’e challenging the Seven Astral Pillars had obviously spread throughout the college.

Of course no one found it strange. The moment the Holy Grail Meet had ended, she had made the request to the college that she was intending to break this record. Naturally the college was also exuberant at the news of a possible legend being written, and thus had spread the word.

This caused a flurry of activity to bubble up within the school.

Countless students were in awe at this decision. The Seven Astral Pillars was the highest form of honor anyone could achieve within the college and from another point of view, this was actually more significant than Jiang Qing’e attaining the title of the strongest student in the Three Star Hall.

After all, she was merely competing with peers in her grade during the Holy Grail Meet. This event had her facing off against the unequalled peak elites of the school.

The Seven Astral Pillars also didn’t just contain the best students of the Four Star Hall, but also a group of even older students.

In the current batch of representatives, Gong Shenjun and Gong Luanyu had stolen the limelight with their radiance and tyrannical might. However this didn’t indicate that these older students were to be scoffed at. They possessed the luxury of time and resources and had even more opportunities to develope themselves.

Thus for the average student, Jiang Qing’e attempting to topple someone from the Seven Astral Pillars was absolutely mindboggling. Success would lead to history being rewritten. No one had achieved this feat before. The shock and implication of this challenge was momentous. As a result, the entire school was focused upon her right now.

“A new legend is about to be born.” Li Luo jokingly said to Qing’e as they were faced with the gazes of the inquisitive.

Jiang Qing’e on the other hand remained characteristically calm. “I actually don’t hold any interest in the title itself. This battle will allow me to birth vital energy within me.”

“Birth vital energy?” Li Luo’s expression changed.

“Only by conquering a powerful foe can a breath of invincible vital energy be birthed.” Jiang Qing’e calmly explained, a hint of tyranny felt in her very words.

Li Luo was still a little clueless. “Whats the point of this breath of vital energy?”

Jiang Qing’e shot a meaningful glance towards him. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

“Tsk… why is she putting on such an act?” Li Luo unhappily sulked. However his guess was that this battle was a necessary preparation for the Housemeet. This had definitely been years in the making.

“I’ll head back to the dormitory for abit before coming over to cheer you on!” Li Luo waved goodbye to Jiang Qing’e as he went off in search of mentor Chi Chan. He wanted her to bring him to the college’s resonance art library and find the Duke Art that he could finally call his own.

Qing’e nodded her head as the two went their separate ways for now.

After which excitement overtook Li Luo as he sprinted over to his dormitory.

Just as he pushed the doors open, he happened to see a fatigued Bai Mengmeng and Xin Fu staggering up the stairs from the basement.Walking leisurely right behind them was mentor Chi Chan. Clearly she had taken the time to train the two of them well.

“Leader!” Bai Mengmeng cried in happiness as she saw Li Luo, the traces of fatigue being washed away with genuine elation.

“It must have been tough for you…” Li Luo smiled.

Xin Fu glared at the relaxed Li Luo as he was reminded of the high intensity training mentor Chi Chan had subjected him to the past week. Envy flooded his thoughts and he very earnestly spoke his mind. “Leader oh leader! I know you managed to obtain the title of the strongest One Star Hall student in the Holy Grail Meet but don’t you feel that you’re taking things a little too leisurely? You haven’t been to class this entire month! How could you do that! What would you do next? Don’t you know that the Two Star Hall’s Zhu Xuan has already stepped into the quasi General stage? All of the One Star Hall students under the Violet Vibrance mentors are all pushing themselves to the limit. If you continue this way, you’ll be surpassed!”

“Mentor Chi Chan! You can’t let Li Luo run astray! He’s a wonderful sapling and he definitely needs your sincere guidance!” Xin Fu spoke very honestly towards.

So long as mentor Chi Chan started to supervise Li Luo directly, some of the pressure would be lifted off him and he could finally heave a breath of relief!

Leader oh leader! Don’t blame this brother for being honest. Everything was to ensure that you improve yourself!

The fact was that under Xin Fu’s earnest and harmless face was a heart full of complicated thoughts.

Faced with Xin Fu’s “wonderful intentions”, Li Luo gave a slight smile. “Although I have not been around, my cultivation has increased by leaps and bounds. Dear Brother Xin Fu, the gap between us has only widened to become an even larger chasm! That is unacceptable you know. In our squad, Mengmeng is the one in charge of support and is not good at direct combat. Thus the two of us have to step up and ensure that she is well protected. If you don’t improve yourself, you won’t even be as helpful as Mengmeng!”

Xin Fu listened intently as he replied in disbelief. “Hey, i’ve already reached the Evolving Resonance tier. We’re in the same tier now.”

Li Luo waved his hand confidently. “Evolving Resonance tier? I’ve long surpassed that!”

This response left Xin Fu a little shellshocked. With an incredulous look he blurted out. “You… you’ve reached the quasi General stage?!” “Quasi General stage?” Li Luo shook h is head.

Xin Fu finally let out a sigh of relief. That was good. His leader had not reached the quasi General stage yet. Otherwise that would mean his cultivation speed was unbelievable quick. Even the Two Star Hall Zhu Xuan had spent the majority of his school points to obtain the resources to take that step.

Yet right at this instant, mentor Chi Chan’s gaze fell upon Li Luo for a brief moment. The realisation that struck caused her to focus her attention onto him as she strode forward hurriedly. “You…. did you break into the Earth Fiend General stage?” This was met with a toothy grin as Li Luo chortled unrestrainedly.”In order to not let disappoint my mentor, i’ve forced myself to bitterly cultivate day and night this entire month… Finally on a dark and stormy night, I managed to break through my limits and enter the Fiend Palace tier!”

After which repressive resonant power began to be emitted from him in every direction.

Feeling the suppression of Li Luo’s mighty resonant power, Xin Fu’s mind went blank as Bai Mengmeng stared agape and in utter surprise.

Li Luo had entered the Fiend Palace tier?

This was unbelievably insane! Even Zhu Xuan only managed to make it to the quasi General stage.

This basically meant that Li Luo had surpassed even the strongest student of the Two Star Hall. Although the college knew that the Two Star Hall was the weakest link, these were still students who were higher by a single grade. Li Luo might have demonstrated might superior to Zhu Xuan during the Holy Grail Meet but Zhu Xuan definitely held the edge when it came to both quality and quantity of resonant power. However in the short span of a month, Li Luo had surpassed the quasi General stage, directly entering the General stage.

This meant that he was now superior in every way compared to Zhu Xuan!

Was this a true genius?

“Leader, Senior Jiang has yet to break the record but here you are handily writing one of your own…” Bai Mengmeng spoke with a tone of adoration as her beautiful eyes flashed brightly.

Mentor Chi Chan continued to inspect the surging resonant power that Li Luo exuded, feeling a tinge of absent mindedness. This was beyond her wildest imagination that Li Luo had managed to achieve this within such a short span of time. Even with the aid of the holy tree marrow crystal, the best she’d expect of him was to reach the quasi General stage as any further was simply too difficult.

As a result the sight before her was shocking.

“A One Star Hall student entering the Fiend Palace tier…” She felt a momentous stirring within her heart as she continued to stare at Li Luo. Undisguised admiration could be seen in her eyes as she praised him. “Li Luo, you’ve indeed set a new record. Even Jiang Qing’e was unable to accomplish this in the past.”

This was something that brought her exceeding amounts of happiness. As a Duke, she was cognizant of the chasm in strength between a resonant master and a general. This accomplishment demonstrated both his talent and potential, comparable to only a handful in the entire history of every sage college on East Divine Continent.

As his mentor, this brought her incomparable pride at being able to guide such a wonderful seedling.

Li Luo smiled as he lightly spoke. “There’s no need to overreact people… records were meant to be broken! Lets take things normally and return to our normal lives…”

Xin Fu was convinced. As expected of the leader, this was the only response that was acceptable. The muscles on mentor Chi Chan’s face began to twitch, almost as though she wanted to make a smile. Yet she then turned to face Xin Fu and Bai Mengmeng. “The two of you should hurry and go change. A grand occasion is about to occur today and that doesn’t come often. Naturally we cannot be absent.”

The duo nodded their heads as they remembered the upcoming bout with Jiang Qing’e and a Seven Astral Pillar. Coupled with the fact that Li Luo had managed to break into the Fiend Palace tier, it would undoubtedly incite an uproar of epic proportions.

The pair from House Luolan would become coolest kids on the street.
