Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1435

1432. Chapter 1432: Marquis of Guangming, Fifth Mingxuan

When Li Luo heard the title of the marquis, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. You know, even Jiang Qing’e, who possessed three ninth-grade light phases and cast two ten-pillar golden platforms, had never called herself the Marquis of Light. How could this Fifth Mingxuan have such a title?
“Fifth Mingxuan came from the Shenyang Ancient Academy. He has been a tutor in that ancient academy for ten years. He is considered to be quite experienced. Among the tutors of the Academy Alliance, he has a very good reputation.” Vice Dean Lan Lingzi said.

The three instructors Xi Chan, Cao Sheng, and Mi’er nodded upon hearing this, because even these instructors from the Holy Academy in Outer Shenzhou had vaguely heard of this name.

“I heard that this person possesses one of the middle ninth grade and one of the lower ninth grade of light.” Xi Chan said.

“One middle nine and one lower nine of light? He does have some talent.” Li Luo said with a little surprise.

Nine grades in the middle and nine grades below are indeed very high configurations, but compared with Jiang Qing’e, it is still a lot lower.

“Diwu Mingxuan is now at the fifth-grade Marquisate.” Vice Dean Lan Lingzi glanced at Li Luo and added, “Three of the Marquisate platforms have nine pillars, and the remaining two are both ten-pillar golden platforms.”

“Oh?” This time Li Luo finally nodded. He was a fifth-grade marquis and had built two ten-pillar golden platforms. This was quite a accomplishment.

Li Luo is now very familiar with the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform. If this Fifth Mingxuan is really configured in this way, then his true combat power may be able to dominate the seventh-grade marquis realm.

Even if he possessed a top-grade artifact for becoming a marquis and a destiny-level technique for becoming a marquis, he might be able to fight against an eighth-grade marquis.

The reason why this is not necessarily the case is because the premise of “the unparalleled leap to the third level” is based on the perfect unparalleled road. The so-called perfection means that every step is a ten-pillar golden platform.

For example, Li Luo has now built two ten-pillar golden platforms. He can be conferred a title of second-grade marquis and dominate the fifth-grade marquis realm. However, if his third marquisate platform fails to reach ten pillars and only builds nine pillars, then his path to “leaping to the third grade” will be interrupted, and he will fall to “leaping to the second grade” and even eventually become “leaping to the first grade”.

Such a decline means that the Road to Musou is gradually declining.

Because as the rank of marquis gradually increases, the gap between high-ranking ones becomes like a chasm, which is difficult to cross.

This can be seen from the fact that in the Jiehe Treasure Area, Qin Lian used the power of an eighth-grade marquis to directly defeat all the marquis powerhouses present.

A first-rank marquis fighting a third-rank or fourth-rank marquis is amazing in the eyes of many people, but not too shocking. However, if a fifth-rank marquis fights an eighth-rank marquis, or a sixth-rank marquis fights a ninth-rank marquis… this will definitely shock everyone.

Because the eighth and ninth rank marquis levels are already the top level below the king level.

It was also because of this that Li Luo’s achievement of killing Qin Lian in the Jiehe Treasure Area caused a sensation in the entire Tianyuan Divine Land.

Some even speculated that Li Luo was able to achieve such a record perhaps because Qin Lian had some remaining sanity and chose to give up at the last moment.

But even so, such a record would be difficult to replicate. Even if Li Luo used all his means, it would be unlikely for him to kill Qin Lian.

After all, it was impossible for him to cut down the Ten-Pillar Golden Platform again.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Luo brought the topic back to the topic and asked, “Vice Dean Lan Lingzi means that this Fifth Mingxuan is also going for the Light Unparalleled Art in the Heavenly Mirror Tower?”

“If there is any genius with some talent and ambition, who wouldn’t want to pursue the unparalleled art?” Lan Lingzi said.

“I am just reminding you that if your goal is the ‘Unparalleled Light Art’, then you will inevitably compete with this Fifth Mingxuan. He is a veteran and powerful marquis with a very high reputation. You and Jiang Qing’e are more talented than him, but your disadvantage is that you are still young and have a weaker foundation, so you must be cautious when you meet him.”

Li Luo nodded in thanks, and then asked with a smile: “Deputy Dean Lan Lingzi, among all the people in the Tianjing Tower, including the four ancient schools, what is the strongest level? Is it the ninth rank marquis?”

This question is very important and will determine Li Luo’s ambition. If there is a ninth-rank title of nobility, Li Luo thinks it would be better to keep a low profile at that time.

Because the ninth rank title of marquis already carries the reputation of “little king”, this is simply a dimensionality reduction attack for those of them who are lower rank marquises.

Even if he was the so-called unparalleled second-grade master, he could not withstand a single palm strike from that person.

After all, you have to know that looking at their Li Tianwang lineage, even Li Qingpeng and Li Jiluo’s generation, they were still only at the peak of the eighth rank of marquis.

From this we can see how difficult it is to be conferred the ninth rank of nobility.

Fortunately, Vice Dean Lan Lingzi smiled and shook his head, saying, “Strictly speaking, the Ninth Rank Marquis will not appear in the Heavenly Mirror Martial Arts Competition, because this realm is already very close to the King level, and they will have a place that suits them.”

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that he didn’t get the ninth rank title.”

The three teachers Xi Chan, Cao Sheng, and Mi Er looked at him silently, their eyes were extremely complicated. What did they mean by “It’s okay if you don’t have a ninth-rank title?” Even if you were a seventh-rank or eighth-rank title, it was still something they could not reach.

If anyone else said this, they would really think he was a lunatic, but as for Li Luo, it was said that he had actually killed an eighth-rank marquis before. With this record, he really had the qualifications to say this.

The young man who was just starting out in the academy has now grown into a mature and talented person.

Its brilliance began to surpass that of their former mentors.

“You are quite courageous, but I hope you can really make a name for yourself in the Sky Mirror Tower. I heard that Jiang Qing’e is already very famous in the Sky Mirror Tower.”

Li Luo was not surprised by this. With Jiang Qing’e’s talent and ability, even if there were many evildoers in the Tianjing Tower, she would still be the most outstanding one.

“She has been promoted to the third rank of marquis, and the third marquis platform is still the ten-pillar golden platform.”

Vice Dean Lan Lingzi glanced at Li Luo and said with a smile: “On the road to becoming unrivaled, she has gone one step further than you.”

“Sister Qing’e has built the third ten-pillar golden platform?!” Upon hearing this information, Li Luo was also shocked, and then he couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

But it is normal if you think about it. Half a year ago, Jiang Qing’e was already a second-rank marquis. During the past six months, she has been practicing in the Tianjing Tower. So it is reasonable for her to break through to the third-rank marquis and build the third ten-pillar golden platform.

And with Jiang Qing’e’s ability, the three ten-pillar golden platforms will make her combat power the best under the seventh rank.

“Jiang Qing’e is now a seeded player of the Holy Light Ancient Academy, and her qualifications make her the youngest among those seeded players.”

Lan Lingzi smiled and said, “This time, that woman Zhen Mingyu got a great bargain.”

Zhen Mingyu is Jiang Qing’e’s mentor, the third dean of the Shengguang Ancient Academy.

Li Luo nodded slightly. Judging from the information revealed in Lan Lingzi’s words, one would probably need to reach the combat power of the seventh-grade marquis realm to be considered a seeded player. This shows that the Tianjing Tower is truly full of strong people.

Li Luo estimated that he was unrivaled in the second rank, invincible in the fifth rank, and a strong enemy in the sixth rank. However, if he met a seventh rank, he would be at a disadvantage.

From this perspective, he is still one step away from being the so-called seeded player.

However, if he could get an opportunity in the Tianjing Tower to improve his own strength, then even if he faced those seeded players, he might not be unable to fight against them.

“When do you plan to go to Tianjing Tower?” asked Vice Dean Lan Lingzi.

“The sooner the better.”

Li Luo smiled. Now he became more and more interested in the Sky Mirror Tower.

“So, now.”
