Chapter 0987: Acquaintance

When Li Fengyi and the rest saw Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu descend with their resonant power restrained, they understood what Li Luo was trying to do and similarly withdrew their hostile intentions. After all, there wasn't much enmity between them—they were simply fighting over the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew.

At the next moment, Li Luo turned and asked Li Fengyi, "How many droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew are there?"

Li Fengyi answered, "Twenty droplets."

Li Luo pondered for a moment before taking out a jade bottle and throwing it over to Zong Sha with a smile. "Since there's twenty droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew here, we'll split it equally. What do you think about this, Senior Zong Sha?"

After the rich harvest from the gilded hall earlier, Li Luo had a lot of excess Spirit Resonance Golden Dew on hand. The two parties were scuffling over just ten droplets, and he was not too concerned about gathering even more.

Zong Sha caught the bottle before inspecting the interior. He could tell that there were ten droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew inside. Feeling a little embarrassed, he replied, "Since Dragon's Head Li Luo has said so, I've no problem with this distribution. We did not plan to fight over the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew if it wasn't for the fact that some of the people in our team were still lacking the necessary amount."

Li Luo had been really kind and polite towards them. In fact, he had even given away Spirit Resonance Golden Dew out of his own pocket. Zong Sha naturally understood that there was no need to continue acting aggressively.

On his side, Jiang Wanyu did not say anything. However, her attitude had also softened a little. At the minimum, there was nothing to complain about from Li Luo's attitude towards them.

Besides, their opponent appeared to be stronger than them. If they had decided not to share any Spirit Resonance Golden Dew with the two of them, there was likely little they could have done except sigh and retreat.

At this moment, Li Lingjing and the rest also arrived beside Li Luo.

Zong Sha was still wary as he took a look at Li Lingjing. The exchange earlier had left a deep impression on him. At the same time, he looked over to Li Luo with a friendly smile and said, "Who would have expected we would have such a connection with Dragon's Head Li Luo?"

"You may address me as ‘Junior’ following the rules of the academy, Senior Zong Sha," Li Luo said.

Zong Sha could tell that Li Luo wanted to be friends with them. Additionally, he himself did not want to be on bad terms with the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. As such, he nodded as a friendly gesture.

"I'll call you ‘Junior Li Luo,’ then."

Jiang Wanyu continued to stare at Li Luo as she asked, "If you were still in the Astral Sage College now, which hall would you be in?"

Li Luo replied with a smile, "It should be the Two Star Hall."

Jiang Wanyu was a bit surprised at the response. Li Luo had yet to reach the Heavenly Pearl Tier, but his battle strength was already amazing. When the two of them fought earlier, she was not able to gain an edge over Li Luo despite being a two-pearl. Without a doubt, his resonant power now was on par with that of an ordinary Heavenly Pearl cultivator. Such talent was a rare sight even in their Heavenly Origin Ancient College, let alone the Astral Sage College.

At the very least, it seemed like even the strongest person in their Two Star Hall would not be able to match up to Li Luo. "In that case, you'll have to refer to me as ‘Senior’ too," Jiang Wanyu said with a muffled voice.

"Senior Jiang," Li Luo responded cheerfully, trying to get on closer terms with them.

"I have heard that you possess triple resonances, Junior Li Luo. Although you're still at the Fiend Finisher Tier, the foundation of your resonant power is really strong. In fact, it's not any weaker than those in the Heavenly Pearl Tier," Zong Sha commented as he noticed Jiang Wanyu looking a little gloomy.

This Junior of his had always been proud. Back in the academy, she had many diehard fans and her own talent was exceptional. Not only was she at the top of the Three Star Hall, she had also cultivated the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner, which was one of the prerequisites to fully mastering the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon.

Mastering the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon one day was undoubtedly her goal, meaning she had high ambitions for herself.

"Is the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner used by Senior Jiang part of the Three Dragons' Heavenly Banner Canon? I've heard that the complete version of this Duke Art is at the Destiny-grade back in Astral Sage College. Unfortunately, my college only has the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner," Li Luo said with a smile.

Jiang Wanyu nodded in response. She continued staring at Li Luo and asked, "You have a Dragon resonance?"

Li Luo nodded and replied, "Yes. My third resonance is a Dragon resonance."

Hearing this, she felt a little jealous. She possessed wind and fire dual resonances, but not the dragon resonance. She had only managed to utilize the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner thanks to the help of an extremely high-grade treasure with dragon resonant power affinity. While this had allowed her to create the dragon resonance power artificially, it was ultimately much less convenient than possessing the actual resonance.

"Your Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner and my Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner are only two parts of it. There's also an art known as the Heavenly Judgment Silver Dragon Banner. Once you've mastered all three of them, you'll be able to unleash the full potential of the Three Dragons' Heavenly Banner Canon," Jiang Wanyu explained.

"Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner, Heavenly Judgment Silver Dragon Banner..." Li Luo's eyes lit up as he listened. These two arts seemed to require fire, lightning, and dragon resonance power affinity to be activated. In that case, it would fit perfectly with the dragon resonance he possessed.

"You can forget about the Three Dragons' Heavenly Banner Canon. Now that you've left the Astral Sage College, the academy will not give you the chance to learn the other two anymore," Jiang Wanyu added, trying to pour some cold water over him when she noticed the desire in his eyes.

"It's always worth a try," Li Luo replied. He did not seem affected by her comment at all. Instead, he continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'll need to head over to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College some time in the future."

Hearing this, Zong Sha replied with hospitably, "We'll welcome you with open arms. You can visit at any time."

Li Luo thanked him politely. As they chatted, the atmosphere in the air grew more relaxed.

At this moment, multiple beams of light flew across the sky and landed around Zong Sha. They were the other students from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College that had noticed his call for help earlier.

After Zong Sha spoke with them for a while, their hostile presence reigned in and they sheathed their swords.

Li Luo warmly invited Zong Sha, Jiang Wanyu, and their group to walk together as they were pretty close to the Golden Dew Platform already.

Zong Sha did not turn it down. As such, the two groups gathered and walked towards the same direction with a casual pace.

On the way, Li Luo continued to gather more information regarding the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

"Senior Zong Sha, is there a mentor called Lan Lingzi in your college? The Principal from the Astral Sage College had a close relationship with her."

"Lan Lingzi? She's not a mentor in our college," Zong Sha replied with a smile.

Li Luo was surprised to hear this. Vice Principal Su Xin had clearly told him to go to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and look for someone named Lan Lingzi. Could it be that she had already left the place?

"Lan Lingzi is the Vice Principal of our college," Jiang Wanyu added from the side.

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. At the same time, his interest was piqued. He had heard that Principal Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lingzi were old acquaintances. However, he did not know how close they were. If they were close enough, perhaps he could make good use of their relationship.

Speaking of which, Principal Pang was really good at cozying up to Vice Principals... Not only did he have the loyal Vice Principal Su Xin serving under him, his old acquaintance was a Vice Principal in an ancient college.

"Senior Zong Sha, does the Heavenly Origin Ancient College have a close relationship to other Ancient Colleges? As my roots are from a sage college, I've always looked up to ancient colleges like yours. Initially, I had never planned to return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage... The only place I really wanted to visit back then was an Ancient College," Li Luo said with a grin.

Hearing this, several students from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College beamed with joy. They all praised Li Luo for having such good vision... or skills at flattery.

Zong Sha also laughed and replied, "All the major ancient colleges are rivals with each other as well as friends. Our relationships are tight knit. At times, students from various colleges even work together for some of the special missions we are assigned to."

Li Luo's eyes flickered when he heard this. With a grin, he asked, "Senior Zong Sha, have you heard about the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College in the Central Core Divine Continent? I have a really good friend that is studying there. With her exceptional talent, I bet she's gone straight into the Heavenly Star Hall."

"Oh? Straight into the Heavenly Star Hall? Your friend must be really amazing, then," Zong Sha replied with surprise.

At this moment, Jiang Wanyu's expression suddenly changed. She spoke out from the side. "I've heard something about the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. There are a few new people who have ascended to the Heavenly Star Hall this year. Amongst them, there was a single girl that caused a huge commotion."

Zong Sha nodded and continued, "Now that Junior Jiang has mentioned it, I have some recollection of this as well... I heard that the Heavenly Star Hall in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College has a new superstar. She's broken the record for rising up in ranks at the fastest pace. Currently, her fame is not restricted to just her own college—even the guys from our college are gathering information about her."

Li Luo's heart started pounding and he felt a little excited. He could not help but feel that the person they were talking about was the one that he had in mind.

"What's her name?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Jiang Wanyu thought about it for a moment before replying, "Jiang Qing'e, the Hallowed Coruscation's Holy Maiden."

Although he had expected it, Li Luo could not help but feel emotional when he heard her name. An overwhelming sense of longing surged out from the depths of his heart. He was speechless for a moment as that unforgettable and familiar face filled up his mind.

Jiang Wanyu didn't pay attention to his sudden change in expression. She continued with great interest, "Senior Jiang has a really domineering personality. She is now the most popular girl in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. Countless elites have wanted to chase her, but she turned all of them down ruthlessly and even declared in public that she already has a fiance. Although her fiance is from the outer divine continent, none of the geniuses could compare with him in her eyes. I don't know how many arrogant individuals were provoked when she said those words. Some of them even began investigating the identity of this fiance, hoping to travel thousands of miles to the outer divine continent to force him to annul the engagement."

When she finished speaking, Li Luo could feel his head drooping down in abject sadness.

He was both moved and on the verge of tears. How had he unknowingly and unwillingly attracted so many enemies all of a sudden?
