Li Luo was used to Yu Lang's scummy ways, so he soon recovered from the shock. Conflicted, he eventually opened the newcomers' rankings.
The first page he flipped to contained a drawing of a long-haired youth. He was swarthy and had a wild look about his eyes. He looked like some exotic beast straight out of the jungle.
There were lines across his face that made him resemble a tiger, and made him even more intimidating.
Almost like a tiger, but in human form.
Li Luo warily looked at the picture. Even though this was but a drawing, it was still enough to convey the intimidation that the man exuded.
His eyes flicked down to the information.
"Qin Zhulu, from the Xiyu Province's Xiyu Academy. His father is an important general in the Xia Kingdom army, Qin Zhenjiang.
"He has an upper eighth-grade resonance, a Snarling Golden Demon Tiger resonance. About as strong as a Pattern Genesis Tier (second-tier Resonant Master) cultivator. The Xiyu Province is located at the border of the Xia Kingdom, and it is constantly locked in war. Qin Zhulu grew up in the army, and the constant fighting bred a streak of savagery in him. He is as fierce as a tiger.
"With his strength, he is practically the best among the Astral Sage College's newcomers!
"A fierce guy, Qin Zhulu," Li Luo said thoughtfully.
An upper 8th-grade resonance, with Pattern Genesis Tier strength.
This was perhaps the highest resonant grade that Li Luo had seen, except for Jiang Qing'e’s. Also, he was already at the second-tier of the Resonant Master Stage... That cultivation speed was unnerving. Li Luo himself had only just made it into the Resonant Master Stage.
Looking at how terrifying he was, one could readily believe that many enemies had died at his hands. Compared to him, fresh-faced students at the Astral Sage College looked like harmless, fluffy bunnies.
"Qin Zhulu. I've heard of him before. He never makes friends. A loner and a killer. To him, there is nothing but battle. I heard that his catchphrase is: ‘women, they only slow down my beheading speed,’" Lu Qing'er said, leaning over and reading gravely.
Li Luo shook his head. "That's a little too wild! No girl's gonna like him like that."
"Not true. Qin Zhulu is a favorite among many girls at Xiyu Academy. For some reason, although he is completely merciless against male opponents, he restrains himself a little against girls. I heard he's afraid of women."
Li Luo was flabbergasted. "Afraid of women?"
A god of war like him, afraid of women?!
Zhao Kuo shook his head in sympathy. "Seems like he'll be single for life. That brings an end to the general's line."
Yu Lang pondered this. "Li Luo, you had better be careful. If he's afraid of women, maybe he swings the other way. And seeing how handsome you are, he'll definitely hit on you."
Li Luo stared at him and patted his waist. Where was his sword when he needed it?
Lu Qing'er rolled her eyes. "He's appraised as even more feral than Duke spirit beasts."
"That means a lot," Li Luo said appreciatively. He had never seen Duke-class spirit beasts before, but looking at the eyes of this Qin Zhulu, he could believe it.
"Your information booklets are getting more and more polished. You've even got drawings now." Li Luo complimented Yu Lang.
This was even more comprehensive than the one that Yu Lang had made for the Tianshu College Final Examinations.
"It's really my friend who did all the hard work," Yu Lang said modestly.
Li Luo snorted. Some friends Yu Lang had. He suspected that the "friend" had seriously considered killing Yu Lang to keep his secret when he handed over the information.
Li Luo ignored him and flipped on.
"Second among the newcomers, Wang Hejiu. From the Xia Kingdom's royal family, the oldest family around. Solid foundation, with an eighth-grade poison resonance. Suspected to be at the Sprouting Seed Tier with the power of an Upper Flowering Tier cultivator. [1]
The youth called Wang Hejiu was smiling so wide that his eyes were almost closed. In his hand he held a green fan made of jade, and he looked like a jolly enough guy. It was especially jarring that he had a rare poison resonance.
It could create a toxic resonant power that ran rampant through its victim's body.
"The Astral Sage College is really something else... All these newcomers are insane." Li Luo whistled appreciatively. This Wang Hejiu was no slouch.
"Third newcomer, Bai Doudou. From the Gusu Province's Frost Mountain Academy. The Bai family is also one of the most powerful in the Xia Kingdom. With a lower eighth-grade resonance, she's estimated to be at the Sprouting Seed Tier with an Upper Flowering cultivator's power."
Bai Doudou wore her hair neatly cropped around the ears. She had a fresh, almost boyish face, but there was a hint of steel in her eyes that showed she was not to be messed with.
