Chapter 1089: I Refuse
The cosmic sword light swept across the battlefield. Wherever it passed, worldly natural energy was obliterated.
Everyone watched in shock as the sword light clashed directly with the strongest attacks from Gao Xuhan and the group.
When the two sides collided, a terrifying energy shockwave exploded. A blinding light flooded the scene, and no one could tell what exactly was happening during the collision.
Despite how hard it was to look at the battlefield, everyone wanted to know the conclusion of the battle as soon as possible, so they forcibly kept their eyes wide open, resulting in tears on every face.
As everyone watched without batting an eyelid, the immensely powerful sword light finally began to subside.
The whole place fell into silence for a moment.
The first thing that caught their attention was the messy aftermath on the battlefield.
Countless stone peaks had been flattened to the ground. There were endlessly deep sword marks left all over the terrain. However, the sword marks differed from one another. Some were sliced so cleanly, they looked like they had been finely crafted; some were littered with growing buds; others were simply burning with holy flames.
In just one clash, half of the vast battlefield had been destroyed. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
The countless spectators scanned the surroundings frantically. Finally, their eyes landed the highest stone peak. There was a dragonized Li Luo, standing in the same position with his blade in his hands. His gray-white hair danced as the wind blew.
He remained untouched!
However, the astonishing resonant power that he had shown earlier was diminishing at a brisk pace. This included his dragon scales and his dragonized body. He was rapidly turning back to normal!
What about Gao Xuhan and the others?
Had they survived the clash?
The crowd hurriedly looked around again. After a while, they finally spotted a group of figures surrounded by faint, emerald glows on the devastated battlefield.
It was none other than Tong Yan, Gu Jing, and the rest.
Looking at their current state, it was clear that they had lost consciousness from the collision earlier. If not for the life-saving treasures that they possessed, they might have been killed by Li Luo's earlier attack.
Gasps of cold air could be heard in the circular viewing platform at this moment.
When Tong Yan, Gu Jing, and their teammates came into sight, the battle had been decided.
The fearsome sword light from Li Luo had swept through the battlefield and finished off the three teams in a single strike?!
"However, I recall hearing a mentor from your college threatening my mentor a few days ago. He was trying to rob the Astral Sage College of our rights to participate. So, it's a pity..."
Li Luo slowly lifted the Dragon Elephant Blade.
"I'll have to refuse your suggestion."
Although leaving Gao Xuhan aside would not affect Li Luo's placement, Li Luo felt that there was no reason to let him off easy. Gao Xuhan had not suggested sharing the benefits at the start of the fight, so why would Li Luo agree to it at the end of the fight? There was no need to show such kindness; he was no saint.
At times, he felt the urge to be vengeful too.
Gao Xuhan shouted angrily, "Li Luo, are you picking a fight with the Lake Sage College? There's no need to be so extreme! There's no need for you to do this!" With how things are right now, we can both be winners!"
Li Luo was a little puzzled, shooting Gao Xuhan a strange look. "If you're not happy, ask your principal to come look for me at the Dragon's Fang Lineage."
"Damn!"
Gao Xuhan cursed angrily in his heart. He had forgotten that the guy in front of him was not just a student—he was also a member of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li!
In fact, he was the beloved grandson of the Dragon's Fang Lineage's Lineage Chief.
And that particular Lineage Chief was a Dual Crowned King, much stronger than their principal! As such, his threat earlier was completely useless.
As Gao Xuhan watched with despair, Li Luo lifted the Dragon Elephant Blade and slashed down towards his head.
Although Gao Xuhan knew that he was under the protection of the battlefield, he couldn't simply allow himself to get hit. He mustered up the last of his strength and shouted out hoarsely, "I surrender!"
The sword stopped right in front of Gao Xuhan.
"Good."
Li Luo smiled happily as he lightly tapped Gao Xuhan's pale face with the tip of his sword. He continued to resist the tiredness screaming in his body as he grabbed onto the sword with both hands. Using the weapon as support, he looked up at the referee in the sky above and asked, "So, can it be announced that I have won the final battle?"
At this point, the referee from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College finally returned to his senses from the surprise. His heart wavered a little as he looked at the messy aftermath on the battlefield. Despite the fact that Li Luo's attack was unpolished, even an expert like him saw the potential in the youth before him.
This was another monster.
After the referee thought about it, his loud and clear voice resounded in the air. It echoed into the ears of every spectator.
"The winner of the final fight of the academic evaluation is...
"The Astral Sage College!"
"Li Luo!!"
The place exploded with excitement.
