Li Luo's squad had gathered 2,800 points, and the sun was well on its way to setting, harsh yellow fading into a soft, rosy orange.
With it came a proportional increase in the sense of danger. Towards the end was when the most intense battles were fought.
The squads that were left must have triumphed in many battles and were all experienced.
Weng!
Suddenly, five columns of violet light shone down from the sky.
They indicated the positions of the five Violet Vibrance squads.
This was intended to hasten the ranking battles, and also to create chances for Violet Vibrance squads to fight.
After all, they had been farming Gold Gleam and Silver Spark squads so far, but at the close, they had to provide a good show, right?
Besides, each violet column of light was different. The one tinged with light green had to be Bai Doudou's Wind Rider Squad, and the dark green one should be Wang Hejiu's Golden Gate Squad. Yi Lisha's One Autumn Leaf Squad had a yellow sheen to it, while a maroon light marked Qin Zhulu's Clear Moon Squad. The last one, a bluish light column, indicated Li Luo's Fairness & Justice Squad.
It was also a sort of indicator for the Gold Gleam squads. If they had the guts to take on a Violet Vibrance squad, this was their chance. Of course, it would be an incredible bounty if they won.
Naturally, not many Gold Gleam squads were that ballsy. Reckless courage was seldom rewarded.
The appearance of the violet light columns heralded a change in the game.
...
"The show's about to start."
The five Violet Vibrance mentors watched from above, finally showing some interest.
"Wowee, those two Violet Vibrance squads are very close to each other." Mi Er laughed.
Chi Chan looked. "It's Qin Zhulu and Yi Lisha's squads... They'll probably fight."
Although Yi Lisha was probably not too excited about fighting Qin Zhulu, the latter's personality would probably see him charging towards the nearest Violet Vibrance squad in his vicinity.
"Poor Yi Lisha," Chu Zi said sympathetically.
Cao Sheng shook his head. "You're too humble. Qin Zhulu is the carry of his team, while Lu Qing'er and Yin Yue support him. Yi Lisha's team has three balanced fighters. They'll do well, regardless of the outcome."
As the two mentors exchanged niceties, the other mentors looked at the other pillars. The other three Violet Vibrance squads were rather spaced out. However, the Fairness & Justice Squad and the Golden Gate Squad would probably clash. Probably. As if even mountains and seas could keep those two squads apart.
Which meant that the Wind Rider Squad was going to be left out.
What would they do...
Shen Jinxiao looked over at Cao Sheng. "Can I get some wine?" he asked lightly.
Cao Sheng pushed the jug towards him with an agreeable smile.
Shen Jinxiao filled his cup to the brim. "A good show needs a good drink."
His meaning was as obvious as could be. "You're really setting yourself nice and high, aren't you?" Chi Chan said with a frosty smile. "The height will come in handy when you hang yourself later."
His eyes narrowed. Opening his mouth to retort, they were suddenly all surprised by a loud bang. They turned to see firework-like words floating in the air.
It was a squad name.
Black Swan squad.
"Looks like the Three Star Hall ranking battles are over already," Cao Sheng said appreciatively. "The Black Swan Squad again."
"Jiang Qing'e's there. There are many talents in the Three Star Hall, but none can compare." Mi Er agreed.
"Her ninth-grade light resonance is legendary. I hear that she's aiming for the Seven Astral Pillars this year... If she wins, she'll have broken the Astral Sage College record to become the youngest Seven Astral Pillar ever," Chu Zi remarked.
The other Violet Vibrance mentors all sighed. That ninth-grade resonance was truly awesome.
Shen Jinxiao was silent, looking at his wine cup instead of the fireworks. Suddenly, the taste seemed a little sour.
Hff.
He turned back to the One Star Hall battlefield.
