In the hall of the old mansion, Li Luo stepped in with excitement and quick steps. At first glance, he saw Cai Weis slender and plump figure, her oval face as delicate as a flower, and her smiling face full of charm.
But Li Luo had seen it for a long time and was already immune to Cai Weis charm, so he turned his gaze and saw an iron box placed on the table.
He sprang up two or three steps, and directly opened the iron box. A cold light flashed out, revealing a pair of short knives with cold gleams flowing from them.
The short knife is about a foot long, with one handle being a deep blue all over, and on it there are faint water patterns flowing. Another handle presents a light white color. It is said that this is a metal called "Ri Ling Tie" (Sun Spirit Iron), which will shine brightly in the sunlight.
Two short knives, both of which are made of metal infused with water energy and light energy. When Li Luo uses them as weapons, he can bring out the power of his Water-Light Dual Forces even more greatly.
The hilt of the double-edged sword is shaped like a beasts mouth, with fangs slightly exposed.
In addition, the overall shape of the double-edged sword should have a deeper curve, with a slightly curved blade and a flowing cold light that is exceptionally sharp.
Li Luo grasped the twin blades, lightly swinging them, and instantly a faint whooshing sound arose. Then he reversed his hands and hung the twin blades at his waist, unexpectedly looking exceptionally handsome.
"Not bad." Li Luo nodded in satisfaction, and then he casually gave the two knives a name: "The azure one will be called Water Pattern Knife, and the other one will be called Sun Pattern Knife."
"This is just a qualified set of paired artifacts, and its not even at the level of a treasure artifact." Cai Weis vision was quite high, and Li Luos two short knives, except for their slightly special shape, were actually not particularly precious.
There are also grades of sacred artifacts, generally ordinary sacred artifacts, and above ordinary sacred artifacts are called treasured artifacts.
Compared to ordinary lenses, the lens is much more powerful and rare, and the price of each lens is extremely expensive, far exceeding that of ordinary lenses.
But the treasure requires a bit more strength to drive, and Li Luo is only at the seventh print boundary now, so even if he is given a treasure, its probably hard to exert its true power.
"This will do for now, wait until I reach the rank of Xiang Shi and then Ill get a real treasure to try out." Li Luo said with a smile, these two short knives were prepared by him for the upcoming Academys Grand Examination, just a temporary solution.
"Thanks, Cai Wei," Li Luo said gratefully.
Cai Wei waved her small hand and said, "Your schools grand examination should be coming up soon, right? These past few days, Nanfeng School has become quite lively. The top teams from various schools in Tianxu County have all been sent here."
The annual Academy Grand Examination is a grand event for each county, and the intense competition at that time will attract countless people to flock to it, making it extremely lively.
Li Luo nodded and said, "There are still three days left."
Cai Wei Meis eyes held a hint of worry as she asked, "Are you sure?"
Although Li Luo has now awakened his water attribute, compared to other students, he is still a bit late. Cai Wei doesnt know if he can catch up either.
Cai Wei also knew the importance of getting into Shengxuan Xuefu, and if Li Luo could get in, it would be a huge boost to his reputation. At least, some people in Luolan Fu wouldnt dare ignore him as the young master anymore, which would also help share some pressure with Jiang Qinge.
Li Luo wore a pair of swords at his waist, stroking the hilts with his palms, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Dont worry, Cai Wei jie, I have a reason why I mustnt lose."
If even this step cant be achieved, then "divorce" is something that can only be thought of for the rest of ones life!
...
The holiday finally came to an end as scheduled.
Li Luo returned to the school, then he and Zhao Kuo were called out separately by Xu Shanyue to go to the principals office.
"Have you reached the seventh seal?" In the midst of a dull conversation, Li Luo learned that Zhao Kuang had made another breakthrough during this vacation, also entering the realm of the seventh seal, and couldnt help but feel a little surprised.
Zhao Kuo was only a fifth-rank official, and this rank is neither high nor low. However, he was able to reach the seventh-grade boundary before the imperial examination, which shows that he had worked very hard in his daily life.
Zhao Kuorujin, with a sturdy build like a bear, scratched his head and smiled: "This time during the holiday, I didnt go back home, I was practicing in the academy all along. Thanks to the special training from the academy, I managed to make a breakthrough at the last minute."
"Zhao Kuo has been working hard in cultivation for the past ten days." Xu Shanyue, who was leading the way in front, heard the conversation between the two and turned back to say a sentence, his words clearly showing approval of Zhao Kuos efforts and diligence.
Li Luo also gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome."
"Who can compare to you, youre handsome, have a high understanding of physiognomy, and now youve even awakened the water element, in the future youll be another legend of Nanfeng Academy after Jiang Qinge." Zhao Kou said with an honest face.
"I would choose to be friends with you, mainly because you are a sincere person who never lies." Li Luo nodded, his face full of emotion.
"Thats a must, and on the big exam, Ill ask Luo Ge to cover for me."
"Its a small matter, when the time comes Ill take first place and directly bring you into the Sacred Austerity Academy."
"Awesome!"
“......”
Xu Shanyue, walking in front, heard the two of them shamelessly flattering each other and couldnt help but scowl, turning his head to rebuke: "Shut up, were here."
Li Luo and Zhao Kuo immediately stopped talking, looking towards a courtyard in front of them, where more than ten figures were already waiting, the top twenty students of Nanfeng Academy this time.
In the crowd, Li Luo also saw familiar figures such as Lü Qinger, Song Yunfeng and Di Faqing.
At this time, everyone was staring at them with a playful smile, apparently, their business flattery just now had also been heard by them.
However, facing the teasing gaze of the crowd, Li Luos expression was very calm and did not show any embarrassment. At this time, as long as he himself didnt feel embarrassed, the embarrassment belonged to others.
Zhao Kuang, on the other hand, flashed a silly smile and operated with a straightforward and refreshing exterior.
Everyone looked at the two of them and eventually shook their heads and withdrew their gaze.
His face is really too thick.
Li Luo is also a bit arrogant, relying on the trial mechanism to suppress Song Yunfeng before, and now he even dares to boast that he will be first in the big exam, without asking if Lü Qinger agrees.
In front of the crowd, there was also the figure of the old principal. His eyes, with a hint of smile, swept over Li Luo and Zhao Kuo, then he smiled at the crowd and said: "It seems that everyone is here."
"Well, Ill tell you about this big exam first."
Everyone was stunned by these words and waited with bated breath for the old directors next words.
"This time, the college grand examination will begin in three days. You twenty people will represent our Nanfeng College to participate in the war. I only have one requirement for you, that is to keep the signboard of my Nanfeng College as the first college in Tianxuan Prefecture."
"This time, Shengxuan Xuefu has allocated a total of fifty admission quotas to Tianchu County."
As soon as this was said, everyone perked up their ears. Fifty places were available, which was obviously fewer than in previous years. This would make the competition even more intense later on.
According to the regulations of previous years, the top ten students before the Grand Exam will each receive an admission quota for the Sacred Xuanwu Academy. The remaining forty quotas will be allocated to various academies based on the ranking of the top ten.
"The universities represented by the 8th, 9th and 10th places in the Gaokao will each receive an additional admission quota. The universities represented by the 5th, 6th and 7th places will each receive two additional admission quotas."
"The third and fourth places will also be allocated five admission quotas."
"The second place gets six admission quotas."
"First place... Fifteen admission places."
This last sentence fell into the ears of the crowd, and immediately caused a burst of noise. No one had expected that in this years college entrance examination, the weight of the first place would be so great.
Although in previous major exams, the academic institution represented by the first-place winner received more additional quotas than other rankings, but its obviously not as exaggerated as this time.
In front of everyone, the instructor Lin Feng from that institute, with a warm and encouraging smile, looked at Lü Qinger and said: "Qinger, this time Nanfeng Academy wants to stabilize its reputation, its likely up to you to take the first place."
The old director also nodded with an exceptionally kind face.
Its clear that they all have high hopes for Lv Qinger, but its also normal, after all she is the mainstay of Nanfeng Academy now.
Facing their eager gaze, Lü Qingers pretty face was quite calm, and she only said softly: "I will do my best to fight for it."
The old principal nodded and immediately instructed: "However, you must be careful of Dongyuan Academys Shi Kuang, this person is extremely powerful and may become your strong enemy."
Listening to this name, Lü Qingers beautiful eyes also flashed a hint of solemnity, and she nodded seriously.
"Starting from tomorrow, you wont need to come to the academy, but instead will move into White Spirit Garden, where all the teams from various academies in Tian Shu County gather. Three days later, you will enter White Spirit Mountain from there, which is the venue for this major exam."
The old director made some more reminders and finally summed up.
"The Nanfeng Academy has been in my hands for decades, its honor is more important than my own life, so I ask everyone to work hard on the big exam and maintain this most important thing for me."
The old directors face was solemn, and he slightly bowed to the crowd.
Twenty students were startled by his move and quickly bowed back.
Finally, the old dean waved his hand and everyone began to retreat with different emotions.
Li Luo walked out of the courtyard, gazing at the vast blue sky with no clouds, and his heart also slightly surged.
The college entrance examination is finally coming.
Unfortunately, Dad and Mom didnt make it here...
But if they were really there, wouldnt they shake their heads in disgust while watching: "This son is too stupid, and cant even compare to a clever apprentice."
It is said that in Jiang Qinges time, the other academies of Tianxu County were suppressed to the point where they didnt even dare to show any signs of provoking Nanfeng Academy.
Upon learning that she was admitted early to the Sacred Aether Academy, almost all universities in Tianxu Prefecture were overjoyed and moved to tears.
Compared with Jiang Qings dazzling resume that can blind people, Li Luos is obviously too turbulent.
Even a month ago, most people thought he probably didnt even have the qualifications to participate in the exam.
Thinking of this, Li Luos surging heart cooled down a bit, and then he let out a sigh.
"Whats the point?"
