Chapter 1072: Those Former Rivals
The next day, Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu delivered the information that Li Luo had requested about the participants from the other sage colleges.
Li Luo warmly invited the two into the small building. He was extremely happy with his decision to become good friends with them in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, or else he would've had to spend time trying to find someone to help him out in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College since he was unfamiliar with everything.
"Brother Li Luo, this information covers all the sage colleges. According to past evaluations, the sage colleges are divided into three tiers. There are two available spots in the first tier, which naturally receives the highest share of resources. The second tier has ten available spots, with only half the resources of the first tier. The third tier also has a limited number of spots, but they are given the lowest amount of resources."
Zong Sha removed three sheets from the top of the stack of papers in front of him and placed them in front of Li Luo, saying, "These three are the strongest. In the past, the first tier has been occupied by them nine times out of ten."
Li Luo's gaze swept across the names of the three colleges.
Thunder Sage College.
Lake Sage College.
Lunar Sage College.
Li Luo's gaze paused on the Lake Sage College. The mentor named Chen Yun from yesterday was from here.
"Because the academic evaluation is a team battle, four students will be sent out from each college to make up a team, but the people from the One and Two Star Halls are basically just making up the numbers and don't need to be paid too much attention to. The only students that are considered somewhat capable are those from the Three and Four Star Halls."
Jiang Wanyu's red lips slightly parted as she stared at Li Luo, the corners of her lips curling into a smile. "You might need to pay attention to the Four Star Hall representatives these three colleges in particular."
She helped Li Luo to pull out a piece of paper, which he thanked her for before taking it. It contained the records of the teams of the top three sage colleges, and the students in the One, Two, and Three Star Halls were all skipped by Li Luo.Explore the beginning of this data at n0v^lbin★
Thunder Sage College, Gu Jing, upper eighth-grade lightning resonance, Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, Illusory Seal-grade.
Lake Sage College, Gao Xuhan, quasi ninth-grade poison resonance, Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, Illusory Seal-grade.
Lunar Sage College, Tong Yan, upper eighth-grade Five-Colored Divine Ox resonance, Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, Illusory Seal-grade.
Li Luo swept his gaze across and paused for a moment at the three students' strength levels. "Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, Illusory Seal-grade."
"The strength of these students is rather similar to mine right now."
Zong Sha let out a laugh, then the resonant power in his body flowed and moved, condensing in his palm. A shimmering, translucent, golden seal gradually materialized on it.
Collecting his thoughts, Li Luo looked through the information of the teams from the other sage colleges. Apart from the three who had entered the Illusory Seal-grade of the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, there was no lack of seven-pearl and eight-pearl students. He did not spot any nine-pearls though.
Li Luo was quickly flipping through the information when he suddenly paused. He stared at a page and softly exclaimed when he saw an unexpectedly familiar name, "Huh?"
Enlightened Sage College, Three Star Hall student, Jing Taixu, quasi ninth-grade wind resonance, Fiend Finisher.
Recognizing this name, Li Luo was hit by a wave of nostalgia and let out a laugh. Jing Taixu was his arch-enemy back at the Holy Grail Meet. He never expected to meet him here.
The representative of the Enlightened Sage College's Four Star Hall was Lu Jinci, a seven-pearl. Li Luo also had a deep impression of this person as he had competed with Jiang Qing'e for the title of the strongest Three Star Hall student at the Holy Grail Meet.
Looking at the two names, Li Luo thought for a moment before he continued to flip through the pages. Very quickly, he found two other familiar names.
Heavenly Inferno Sage College, Lu Ming, seventh-grade illusion and lightning dual resonances, Fiend Finisher.
Sacred Summit Sage College, Sun Dasheng, upper eighth-grade Stone Ape resonance, Fiend Finisher.
Li Luo couldn't help but feel a little emotional upon thinking back to the Holy Grail Meet. After more than a year, the former rivals once again had the opportunity to meet each other.
Only this time, things would not be the same.
Li Luo smiled at Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu as he said, "These other sage colleges are not weak at all. You are just outstandingly monstrous."
Jiang Wanyu said, "An external force was the main reaosn you were able to kill Tian Miao and heavily injure Zhao Yan in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, right? I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to utilize any external aid in the academic evaluation, because that is a violation of the rules. The Astral Sage College has only you as a representative. Not only do you have no advantage in terms of cultivation level, you are also disadvantaged in numbers. So, are you really sure that you want to represent the Astral Sage College?"
Li Luo nodded and replied, "It will indeed be somewhat challenging."
Zong Sha then commented, "Actually, with Junior Brother Li Luo's strength, as long as he avoids the top sage colleges and isn't targeted, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve a second tier placement."
There were ten places in the second tier, and the intensity of competition was not that fierce.
If Li Luo could single-handedly place in the second tier, it would be considered a good achievement. As far as he knew, the second tier was as high as the Astral Sage College had placed in the past.
Li Luo smiled, his eyes fixated on the information on the three strongest sage colleges. The second tier placement was indeed considered decent, and he would've had no issue settiling for it under normal circumstances. However, now that the Astral Sage College was in such dire need of resources, Li Luo wanted to be a bit greedy.
So, he would not settle for a second tier placement as his target.
"Those two first tier spots... I wonder who's going to move out of the way for me?"
