As a series of rituals came to an end, the two purple-robed masters finally left, and the atmosphere on the square, which had been depressed for a while, gradually recovered.

  After all, apart from Li Luo and these newcomers, the other students of Xingyuan were not experiencing this kind of situation for the first time, so they still had some adaptability.

  A lot of noise is spreading on the square, and all the students are exchanging their experiences and gains in this dark cave.

  As the exchange continued, some murmurs gradually rose, and the voices of Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and others at the 13th stronghold could be faintly heard.

  It's clear that the news about the 13th stronghold being targeted by a Great Calamity-level anomaly has spread.

  This caused quite a stir.

  After all, a catastrophic-level anomaly is terrifying. The students present knew it in their hearts, and being targeted by such an existence put the entire base at risk of destruction.

  Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had not yet left the square when they saw a figure rushing over, hurrying through the crowd.

  "Li Luo, are you okay?"

  Lü Qing'er's eyes were filled with some worry as she looked at Li Luo, seemingly having also heard the news, so she hurried over to investigate.

  Looking at Lü Qing'er's delicate face filled with worry, Li Luo smiled and waved his hand: "Isn't this fine?"

  Jiang Qing'e watched this scene with a smile and said, "Qing'er is very concerned about Li Luo."

  Lü Qing'er met Jiang Qing'e's gaze and said, "Just being concerned about a friend."

  Jiang Qing'ao nodded and said: "Then I'll express gratitude on behalf of Li Luo for your concern."

  "It's what I should do."

  Li Luo saw the two female guests politely facing each other, but felt that the atmosphere was slightly off. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a sturdy figure with an aura of evil and cruelty emerging from behind Lü Qing'er.

  Some of the students from other two-star academies are casting sidelong glances at him.

  "Li Luo, your strength has increased a lot!" That figure gazed at Li Luo with piercing eyes.

  It is Qin who will win the empire.

  Li Luo looked at his shadow and smiled, nodding: "Just a slight improvement."

  His gaze swept across Qin Zhulu's face, his eyes also slightly condensed, and he said: "You...also have the third mark of Shengwen?"

  In his perception, the fluctuation of the relative force waves emitted by Qin Zhulü's body was even more powerful than before. Apparently, the latter had also made a significant improvement in this dark cave.

  He even felt that this guy's third stripe had solidified to the extreme, and he was qualified to impact the fourth stripe at any time.

  But this is not surprising, before that when he was in the upper ranks of the heavy flower species, Qin Chong had already been second only to Sheng Xie Yun, now with the help of the Dark Spirit Spring's cultivation, he forcibly broke through a level, and only then did he narrow the gap between them by a lot.

  "In the dark cave, he went out every day to fight against the Bai Xie-level heterodox, and several times he almost got killed." Lü Qing'er explained the reason for Qin Zhuo's promotion.

  Li Luo clicked his tongue, this guy was indeed a war-loving madman, and he wouldn't even spare the aliens.

  "Li Luo, when are you going to have a match with me? Now that I'm in the One-Star Academy, only you can be my opponent." Qin Chuyu's gaze at Li Luo was filled with fervor.

  Although Li Luo was also very strong in the past, there was a gap between him and his level. He didn't despise using his level to suppress his opponent, but now that Li Luo is also at the third rank, it's likely that their battle will be intense and thrilling.

  He had long wanted to try what it was like to fight with bipolar forces.

  For the strong desire and fervor in front of this tough guy's eyes, Li Luo felt a bit uncomfortable, and could only perfunctorily say: "There will always be opportunities."

  Qin Zhuolu wanted to invite a battle, but at this time, there was a sudden mournful cry from the rear: "Li Luo! Li Luo! My good brother!"

  Upon hearing this unusually familiar voice, Li Luo's face couldn't help but turn black, and he immediately looked at Yu Lang with an evil gaze, saying: "What are you crying about?"

  He squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Li Luo with a relieved expression, quickly walking up to him: "Good brother, I heard you guys encountered a Catastrophic-level anomaly, I was worried sick."

  He patted Li Luo's arm and then gave a reassuring smile to Bai Mengmeng beside Li Luo: "Mengmeng, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere? Do you need to check your body?"

  Li Luo: "......"

  Dog stuff, is this you caring about me?

  Bai Mengmeng glanced at Yu Lang and also didn't speak, quietly hiding behind Li Luo.

  Yu Lang wanted to show concern, but behind him came a cold voice: "Get out of the way, don't block the road."

  He glared and left, only to see Bai Doudou standing behind him. He immediately shrunk his neck and hurriedly made way, while quietly asking Li Luo: "You guys really encountered a Catastrophic-level anomaly?"

  Li Luo nodded, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, sighing: "You're still alive, it seems that Jiang Xue didn't spare any effort in protecting you."

  Li Luo was too lazy to bother with him.

  "I heard that you've swindled many people out of their 'Emperor's Elixir'? Are you really short on this stuff? Do you want me to lend you a bottle? But let's make one thing clear, you have to return it later. I didn't earn these points easily." Yu Lang thought of something and continued to ask.

  Li Luo was stunned, in the Dark Spirit Pool he indeed received some Emperor Flow IOUs, now how did it become extortion? This rumor spread a bit too far-fetched, but he didn't pay much attention to it either, just smiling and shaking his head.

  "You can keep it for yourself, I've already got what I need." Yu Lang was a bit of a rogue, but he still had a strong sense of loyalty. A bottle of Emperor's Dew worth 5,000 points might not be much to Li Luo now, but for Yu Lang, it probably represented half a year's worth of hard work.

  The purification towers activated at the 13th stronghold, although they were all polluted again due to the attack of that Great Calamity-level abnormal species, the Academy did not really treat it as an activation failure. Instead, according to the map records before being re-polluted, they gave out the actual points. So even without counting the reward points that the Academy might give, Li Luo was still full of gains this time.

  When the two were talking, Baidou had already tightly grasped Ba Mengmeng's small hand, asking with concern if she was injured. Earlier, when she heard the news that the 13th stronghold encountered a major disaster and alien creature, her face turned white because Ba Mengmeng was at the 13th stronghold.

  "Thank you so much, Jiang Xue Jie," said Bai Dou Dou with gratitude, looking at Jiang Qing E. In her opinion, the reason why Bai Meng Meng and others were able to safely pass through this crisis was probably due to Jiang Qing E's protection.

  Bai Mengmeng smiled slyly and said, "Sister, this time the crisis was indeed greatly alleviated thanks to Jiang Xueshuang's help, but actually the greatest credit goes to our captain. In the end, even that heavenly-level beast in the forbidden zone was sealed by him."

  Bai DouDou and Yu Lang were both stunned, even Lü QingEr and Qin ZhuoLu looked over in surprise.

  Then Bai Mengmeng proudly told Li Luo's performance in detail.

  The result unexpectedly gained the shocked gaze of the surrounding crowd.

  No one had expected that the crisis at Outpost 13 would be resolved by Li Luo...

  Li Luoqian waved his hand and said, "Actually, this is what I should do. Although I risked my life to do so, for the sake of my classmates' lives, I am willing to pay such a price."

  "And I also believe that my efforts will be recognized by the academic institution."

  After finishing speaking, he patted Yu Lang's shoulder forcefully and said: "Do you understand?"

  Yu Lang suddenly understood: "For Luo Ge's spirit, the school must give praise and extremely thick points rewards to encourage students. If the school's rewards are not satisfactory, even a passerby like me can't bear it, and I will definitely call on classmates to protest."

  "I think at least reward 30,000 points?"

  Li Luo coughed lightly and said, "Young people can have bigger ambitions."

  "Then... 500,000?"

  Li Luo glanced at him and said, "Be conservative."

  Yu Lang was shocked, is your appetite so big? Extorting the school, aren't you afraid of being expelled?

  "One hundred thousand?"

  Li Luo nodded in satisfaction, giving Yu Lang a look of appreciation, indicating that this matter was now left to him. For the time being, it was unclear whether the principal had passed on any messages, so for those 100,000 points, he could only take matters into his own hands and give the school's higher-ups a heads up.

  But he obviously didn't want to show his face in this matter, and Yu Lang was a good scapegoat.

  Good brother, it's you, and after things are done, I won't treat you unfairly.

  After quietly discussing some details with Yu Lang, Li Luo suddenly heard a shout and looked up to see a figure on the edge of the square waving at them.

  That is Yan Lingqing.

  Jiang Qing'e's eyes looked at him and said: "Go find Lingqing first, there are some things."

  "What's going on?" Li Luo asked in confusion.

  "Aren't you always worried about how to expand Xi Yang House? In the Qu Xiang Academy, some high-starred Qu Xiang masters are also graduating this year..." Jiang Qing'e smiled.

  Li Luo's eyes lit up as he heard this, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

  Shengxuan Star Academy's Tempering Department is home to the most outstanding tempering masters in Dashu, and every year, these soon-to-be graduates become the target of fierce competition among the major spiritual water and strange light houses. He has long coveted this resource.

  If we can really gather a group of high-quality mentors, the rise of Xi Yang Wu will be truly unstoppable.

  While the Creek Yang House can grow stronger, it will also drive the rise of Luolan Prefecture. Of course, most importantly, this will enhance the "momentum" of that strange array at the headquarters of Luolan Prefecture... This is undoubtedly a must-have for responding to the major changes in Luolan Prefecture six months later.

  So such an opportunity, must not be missed at all costs.
