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 surpassed 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 passing 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.
