To celebrate his promotion to Xiyang House Leader, Yan Lingqing invited Li Luo and Cai Wei for a dinner party that evening. With an extremely good mood, Yan Lingqing showed off his incredible drinking capacity to Li Luo.

  What shocked him the most was that not only did Yan Lingqin have a terrifying capacity for liquor, but Cai Wei was also a heroine among women. The two womens bold and unrestrained drinking manner ultimately intimidated Li Luo to the point where he could only shiver in fear beside them, like a small quail.

  "Li Luo, as long as you can increase the assistance of that mysterious source water in the future, I will definitely be able to make all the spiritual waters and strange lights produced by Xi Yang House into the strongest in Tian Shu County!" Yan Lingqings beautiful eyes were burning with excitement as she stared at Li Luo, fueled by the effects of the wine.

  "Ill do my best to provide it." Li Luo smiled and agreed, for now his physiognomy was only at the seventh level of boundary, if he could enter the realm of physiognomy master, then his own physiognomy would have a qualitative improvement, at that time the secret method source water he could provide should be greatly enhanced.

  While the Qingyang House can dominate the Ling Shui Qi Guang market in Tianxu County, the annual profit of Luolan Mansion in Tianxu County will also increase greatly, which will be beneficial for Li Luo to continue his extravagance.

  "So, lets celebrate in advance, Xiyangwu will dominate Tianxu County."

  Cai Weis face was flushed with a charming smile, and under the influence of alcohol, her already delicate and lovely complexion became even more captivating and alluring.

  Three people raised their glasses and clinked them together with a smile.

  ...

  After helping Yan Lingqin resolve the internal problems of Xi Yang House, Li Luo finally felt a bit relieved, and in the following days, he reduced his visits to Xi Yang House slightly.

  As the holiday approaches, Li Luo also has to start thinking about another very important thing, that is, the upcoming university entrance exam.

  The Grand Exam of the Academy determines the admission quota for the Holy Mystical Star Academy, as the top academy in the Great Xia Kingdom, it is a sacred place that countless young men and women yearn for.

  Looking at the vast Xia, there is no force that dares to say that it has neglected the strength and qualifications of Shengxuan Xing Academy. In the past, the Xia Kingdom also had a change of dynasty, but no matter how the dynasty changed, Shengxuan Xing Academy stood firmly in place, unmoving. This can be seen from its depth and strength.

  Moreover, there are rumors that in the Sacred Xuan Star Academy, there exist powerful beings who have sealed kings.

  So dont just look at Li Luo as the young master of Luolan Prefecture, compared to Shengxuan Xing Academy, its still far behind, so for the sake of future prospects, Shengxuan Xing Academy is a must-go for Li Luo.

  Moreover, he also had an agreement with Jiang Qingwa.

  The Grand Exam of the Academies will encompass all academies in Tianxu County, and each academy will send its top 20 students to compete for admission to the Sacred Axiom Academy.

  The number of places allocated by the Holy Spirit Academy each year is not fixed, but according to the unchanged rules, the top ten people in the academys grand examination are necessarily able to obtain admission quotas, while the remaining surplus quotas will be allocated based on the scores obtained by each academy in the grand examination.

  So Li Luo set his own goal as entering the top ten in the Imperial Examination.

  "Its not easy for the first ten..."

  In the golden house, Li Luos face was solemn after finishing his cultivation. Although Nanfeng Academy is the number one academy in Tianxu County, it cant be underestimated that other academies may have people with real abilities, and when added up, their numbers are not small.

  Moreover, there is also Dongyuan Academy which poses a threat to Nanfeng Academy.

  To emerge from these strong enemies and squeeze into the top ten is enough to imagine how difficult it is.

  Now Li Luos strength is at the Seventh Seal Boundary, and his own "Water Light Phase" should be able to advance to Sixth Rank before the Great Tribulation, but these may not necessarily allow him to rest easy.

  Because he was making progress at the time, others were also not standing still.

  So, this times big test, Li Luo couldnt afford to be careless.

  Then Li Luo carefully examined all his own strengths and means, and then he found some of the defects in himself.

  The biggest flaw is that he lacks a powerful means of attack. In his previous encounter with Song Yunfeng, although the difference in strength between them was significant, leading to him being unable to move freely, even though he eventually managed to force a draw using an enhanced version of "Water Mirror Technique", this also revealed the lack of Li Luos attacking methods, and his attacks were difficult to pose any threat to Song Yunfeng.

  But this problem is not only Li Luos, Im afraid all water-type owners are the same. The characteristics of water-type represent that it is inferior to fire-type, thunder-type, and metal-type elements in terms of attack power and destructive power.

  Of course, if the war of attrition continues, the water phase will gradually reveal its advantages, but Li Luo feels that this is too passive, so he must think of a way to enhance his own attack.

  While other water-type holders might feel helpless, Li Luo was different. He wasnt just a simple water-type, but an extremely rare "Water-Light Type"!

  Thinking of this in his mind, Li Luo got up and went straight out of the golden house, upstairs to the library.

  ...

  Nanfeng City, Governors Mansion.

  In this grand summer, the governor-general governs a province, so in terms of status and power, the governor-generals office is the highest in the province.

  "Heh heh, Young Master Song, Ive been wanting to invite you to the Governors Mansion for a visit for quite some time now. Its just that I was too busy before and couldnt find the time, so I had to wait until today."

  In the living room of the Governors Mansion, a bright and cheerful laughter echoed, the source of which was a middle-aged man with a gaunt face. Although the man had a smile on his face, he exuded an aura of unyielding dignity.

  He was the governor of Tian Shu Prefecture, Shi Qing, who was also a strong practitioner in the Tian Gang realm.

  And below him was the master of the Song family, Song Shan, sitting down.

  "The Governor is busy with official duties, how can he be like us idle people?" Song Shan said with a smile.

  "Brother Song is laughing at me." Shi Qing smiled and said, holding his tea cup and looking at the floating tea leaves, "Recently, theres been quite a commotion in the Song household. I suppose theyve had their fair share of meat from the Luo Lan Manor."

  Song Shan said: "Thanks also to the Governors guidance."

  "Luo Ran Fu is really a pity, if those two didnt disappear, Im afraid the five major fu of Da Xia would have all taken it as their leader." Shī Kāng said with a light smile.

  "What a pity, those two were too sharp, otherwise..." The words stopped there.

  "Now that Luolan Prefecture is in a precarious situation, its an opportunity for the Song family to grasp." He said, looking at Song Shan.

  "Thank you, Governor, for reminding me. My family will always remember this kindness." Song Shan nodded and said slowly.

  The teacher smiled and changed the subject.

  Outside the living room, there was a lake. Song Yunfeng listened to the faint sound coming from inside the living room and then gazed at the lakeside in front of him.

  There was a young man in white, with short hair and a braid hanging down from the back of his head. He held bait in his hand and was leisurely feeding fish by the lake.

  After a moment, he clapped his hands and a maid respectfully handed him a silk handkerchief. He took it casually and wiped himself before turning to walk towards Song Yunfeng.

  As he drew closer, his features also became clearer. In terms of appearance, he seemed to be somewhat ordinary, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

  However, looking at this seemingly ordinary young man in front of him, Song Yunfeng had a faint sense of danger.

  The person in front of you is Shi Guang, the son of the governor.

  He was also the first person in Dongyuan Academy.

  "Yunfeng, this years university exam, my father said that he must help Dongyuan University win the first place in Tianxuan Prefecture." Shī Jìng smiled and said.

  "With Shi Qings strength, there is still a good chance." Song Yunfeng said.

  "But thats still not enough. You, Lü Qinger of the Nanfeng Academy, are no ordinary lamp that can be easily extinguished. If you were to clash, she would be a formidable opponent." said Shi Kuang.

  Song Yunfeng also nodded in deep agreement, he too understood Lü Qingers strength.

  "Although Im not afraid of her, I dont like uncertain factors when doing things. So at the time of the Academys Grand Examination, you might need to cooperate with some matters." Master Huan said calmly.

  Song Yunfengs face changed slightly as he spoke with some difficulty, "Shi Qi brother, are you asking me to betray the Nan Feng Academy?"

  "Hey, youre being too harsh, and you really think of Nanfeng Academy as your own home? Its just a temporary stop for us to cultivate, once you get into the top ten of the grand exam, you can naturally enter Shengxuan Star Academy. At that time, do you still need to care about Nanfeng Academy?" Master Qing said with a smile.

  "And dont worry, I wont let you do anything too obvious."

  He waved his hand and said, "This is also what my father meant. The old principal of Nanfeng Academy had a grudge against my father and repeatedly hindered his promotion, so this year the golden signboard of Tianxue Countys number one academy must be taken away."

  Song Yunfeng fell silent for a long time and finally nodded with some difficulty.

  Shi Yun smiled warmly and patted his shoulder, saying: "By the way, I heard that Li Luo has made another move? Didnt you have a draw with him before?"

  As soon as this matter was brought up, Song Yunfengs eyes became somewhat gloomy and he said: "He just relied on luck to get ahead, if it were during the imperial examination, he wouldnt even have a chance at a tie."

  "Is that so..."

  Shi Yun thought for a moment and said, "What a pity. I was looking forward to meeting this young master in the imperial examination. Now that youve told me this, my interest has weakened considerably."

  "Wherever it is necessary to trouble Master Shi, when the time comes, I will take care of him." Song Yunfeng said.

  "Whatever."

  "This person... although I havent seen him many times, but towards him, I still feel quite disgusted." Shī Jiàn smiled lightly.

  He sensed a hint of malice towards Li Luo in his tone, and Song Yunfeng was slightly perplexed.

  Shi Kuang saw this and smiled, his tone was casual and careless.

  "This is also a shameful thing, in those years my father had wanted to help me propose to that Jiang Qinge from the Luolan government..."

  "Haha, of course in the end, I was directly rejected by those two masters."

  "So theyre actually... thinking of keeping it for their own son."

  "What a pity! I dont know if this useless son of theirs can really keep such a beautiful wall intact."

  Song Yunfeng heard this and suddenly felt a little stunned in his heart, only then did he understand why the Governors Mansion had been secretly pushing waves to help them, the Song family, swallow up the Luo Lan Mansions industry all these years.

  There were such things between them.
