Absolute Resonance-Novel2

Chapter 0501: Three Star Hall Ambush

"Li Luo's been sucked into Lu Ming's illusion formation."

When Li Luo disappeared into the field of flowers, Qin Zhulu, Bai Doudou, Lu Qing'er, and the other Astral Sage students saw him vanish.

"Lu Ming's not holding back now. This is her true specialty—illusion resonance and lightning resonance together, creating a deadly and disorienting formation," Bai Doudou said tersely.

They all leaned in closer to the screen worriedly. Lu Ming's first move back in the Dragon's Belly had wiped the rest of them out, proving just how troublesome she was as an opponent. And her illusion formation back then had only trapped them, and it had been ridiculously hard to break. Now she would set an even more powerful one, probably one that had offensive capabilities as well.

Was Li Luo going to be okay?

Besides the Astral Sage students, there were other sage colleges present as well, other eliminated students that were still watching the battle.

The Astral Sage students were not only focused on one screen. They were also watching the three other halls fight it out.

No, strictly speaking, it was two other halls.

The Three and Four Star Halls.

The Two Star Hall had already been completely eliminated.

Zhu Xuan and Ye Qiuding had been tossed out a minute ago.

The Two Star Hall was in the final round now, and neither of them could withstand the heat.

All of the Two Star Hall competitors were standing around with shame on their faces, shuffling their feet in embarrassment. Even though the other Violet Vibrance students were not looking at them with derision, their shame was still apparent.

The other halls were still fighting, and they had been the first to lose.

It was a known fact that in this year, the Two Star Hall was the weakest group in the Astral Sage College.

Although, that had already been made clear in the ticket match.

The One Star Hall's Li Luo, the Three Star Hall's Jiang Qing'e, the Four Star Hall's duo of Gong Shenjun and the First Princess. The Two Star Hall, however...

Their champions were the pale-faced Zhu Xuan and Ye Qiuding, who looked like pathetic, sub-par competitors.

Maybe they should leave this year? They wouldn't be able to lift their heads for the remaining two years in school.

The two of them could feel their teammates staring at them with a mixture of disappointment and anger.

What could they do but pretend to ignore it? They turned their eyes to the One Star Hall's footage.

Li Luo was fighting the dual resonance user, Lu Ming, right?

If he lost too, maybe they wouldn't be in such a tough situation.

It was selfish and mean to think this way, but that was all that they could hope for now.

A gasp came from the other side of the group. "Senior Jiang's walked into a trap! Damn, they're cowardly—it's four on one!" The others rushed over in alarm to watch the Three Star Hall's situation.

Even Vice Principal Su Xin.

The Three Star Hall's competition was in the middle of the final round, held in a forest.

"Attack!"

Lu Jinci roared, sending a barrage of resonant power out towards the beautiful figure standing calmly beside a tree.

Three other blasts of resonant power followed his, warping the air with their energy.

BOOM!action

All four had used their strongest attacks. They knew that the person that they had surrounded was a real monster. She had swept through their ranks like an elephant through a wheat field, stomping people left and right from the starting whistle. It was overwhelmingly dominant, and Lu Jinci had no choice but to gather allies in the end.

Their goal was one and the same: eliminate the strongest of them all, Jiang Qing'e.

Everyone knew that as long as she remained in the competition, none of them stood a chance.

They had painstakingly managed to lay down this trap, and they had waited patiently in agony. There were five people at first, but their fifth companion was currently occupied with Duze Honglian.

Each of these students were the cream of the crop in their own schools. They were at least as strong as Zhao Huiyin was during the ticket match. The four of them combined was a real force to be reckoned with.

Four deadly arcs of power filled the air, arching down towards the slim figure.

Boom!

The mountains shook, demolishing trees and rocks alike.

"Did we succeed?!" Lu Jinci peered through the dust eagerly. Surely their attacks had hit, and surely not even Jiang Qing'e could withstand so much damage, right?

The dust faded.

And so did their smiles.

Wings of light were spread, shining brightly through the gritty, gray dust, and illuminating the entire land. One gentle beat of the wings, and worldly natural energy pulsed from them.

Jiang Qing'e rose into the sky, her wings beating gently. She looked down upon them with her heavy sword in hand.

Those golden eyes were far more compelling than ever before.

She looked like an angel of light, ready to bring judgment down upon them.

The four students looked up at her in reverence and fear. They knew they were about to be royally smoked.

Her voice came down to them, elegant, quiet, and deadly. "So the mice are finally coming out to play?"
