Chapter 1092: Mobilization Order

Lan Lingzi was a little surprised when she heard the news. She knew about the strength of the Astral Sage College led by Pang Qianyuan very well. Based on the previous evaluation, their best result to date had only been a second tier spot.

How had that turned into first tier spot all of a sudden?

She then shot Vice Principal Wu Yu a suspicious look. With all the senior members of the college away, Wu Yu had been left in charge. Based on his character and his past with Pang Qianyuan, he would definitely do his best to make things difficult for the Astral Sage College as long as it was within the rules. In other words, it must have been even harder for them to achieve a good result.

Vice Principal Wu Yu's face was a little uncertain as Lan Lingzi looked at him suspiciously. He felt a little uncomfortable under her piercing gaze. It was not as if he hadn't deliberately made things harder for them; Li Luo was simply too strong.

Vice Principal Qing Man continued with a smile, "It was pretty interesting. The Astral Sage College only sent in one Three Star Hall student as their representative. He formed a team alone, and the final fight was a group battle. In the end, he defeated all three squads from the inner divine continent by himself."

Lan Lingzi was even more curious about it after hearing this. "One Three Star Hall student defeated three full squads from the inner divine continent? Is there really such a monster in an outer divine continent sage college? Old Pang, you've done well."

This was not just amazing for a the sage college from an outer divine continent—such a monstrous talent was a rare sight even in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

Vice Principal Wu Yu finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "Although Li Luo claims to be a student from the Astral Sage College, he left it more than a year ago. He is actually a member of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and the grandson of Li Jingzhe, the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage. His father is Li Taixuan and his mother is Tan Tailan, two of the most brilliant individuals in history, a duo that dominated the Empyrean Chronicles during their prime. Strictly speaking, he is not a student trained by the Astral Sage College! How could this achievement be related to Pang Qianyuan in any way?"

Wu Yu stomach seeing Li Luo come out on top, but he could not stand listening to Lan Lingzi attributing the result to Pang Qianyuan. After all, if Li Luo had not gone to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, he would not have achieved this result today.

"Oh?" Lan Lingzi's eyes moved a little. She did not expect the winner to have such a background.

"However, Li Luo still chose to be the representative for the Astral Sage College after returning to the Dragon's Fang Lineage. This shows that he values his relationships. It also shows that Astral Sage College did their best to teach him in the first place. Otherwise, why would he even bother after moving on to a better place? In a certain way, isn't this because of the Astral Sage College as well?" Lan Lingzi said with a light smile.

"Treat everyone sincerely and you'll naturally have bright students all over the world. Old Pang has done a pretty good job in this."

Hearing this, Wu Yu calmly replied, "Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, your standards for a bright student are a little too low."

Although Li Luo's performance in the evaluation was spectacular, it was nothing in the eyes of a King like Wu Yu. He would barely take a glance at Dukes, let alone a mere Heavenly Pearl... How could Li Luo be considered a bright student?

Lan Lingzi shook her head in response. "Vice Principal Wu Yu, you cannot always wait for others to reach the Duke or King Stages before attempting to build relationships. If you continue, the Academic Federation may not be able to survive for long."

Vice Principal Wu Yu was a little unhappy with her statement. Her criticism was scathing but indirect, and there was also praise for Pang Qianyuan mixed in there. This all felt truly frustrating to him.

On the side, Qing Man just kept quiet and watched with a grin.

Lan Lingzi did not pay much attention to Wu Yu as she continued, "Since Li Luo has gotten a first tier spot, the Heavenly Origin Ancient College should not delay their resource allocation. The Astral Sage College has met with a catastrophe. Even though we are unable to send aid over, we should still try our best to support them."

Clearly, she had learned about what had happened over at the Astral Sage College. However, the Heavenly Origin Ancient College was dealing with its own problems, so they were unable to send any further aid. Lan Lingzi did not harp on this issue any further as she gazed towards the battlefield of the academic evaluation in the distance. She pondered for a while before saying, "I've rushed back because of an urgent matter. Since the squads from the various sage colleges are gathered here at the moment, I'll issue a Mobilization Order."

"Mobilization Order?"

Vice Principal Wu Yu and Vice Principal Qing Man asked in surprise, "To recruit the mentors that came along with the students?"

Lan Lingzi shook her head. "Not the mentors, but the students. To be exact, the Three and Four Star Hall students."

"You want to bring Three and Four Star Hall students to the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm? Can those kids even survive there?" Vice Principal Qing Man asked in surprise.

Vice Principal Wu Yu frowned as well. Both sides had sent at least ten Kings to the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm; even a Duke was an insignificant presence in that battle! Sending students at the Heavenly Pearl Tier and Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier over was the same as sentencing them to death.

"It's because the All-Being Devil King has chosen to envelope the entire Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm with the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion. Based on the Principal's deductions, the All-Being Devil King is trying to erect a Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar. It'll be able to use that to expand the reach of its dominion and completely corrupt the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. At present, it has taken preliminary form and we're under its rules when we enter. The stronger the person entering the place, the stronger the corruptive presence. Only those below the Duke Stage can move in and out freely. As such, we'll need to use the students. They'll act as the vanguard to charge into the area, destroy the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar, and break the hold of the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion. Only with that will we stand a chance at victory," Lan Lingzi explained.

"This is a very dangerous task. I am afraid the squads from the sage colleges will not be able to handle it," Vice Principal Qing Man said seriously.

"We won't only be relying on them, of course—they'll just be assisting us. The main force will still be the Heavenly Star Hall, the Three Star Hall, and the Four Star Hall students from our college," Lan Lingzi said.

"So, our next priority is to stop all students from going out on any external missions. Send a message to all our students outside, especially the Heavenly Star Hall ones. Let them know that they'll have to return to the college in the next few days for this mission!"

Vice Principal Qing Man nodded silently. The college had provided lots of cultivation resources to the students in the Heavenly Star Hall, and it was finally time for them to shoulder their responsibilities.

"Our mission is of utmost importance. We may not be able to succeed with only our own students. The Principal has sent word over to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College to request for assistance too. Thus, they will be sending help. They'll use their Tree of Resonant Power as the connection point and send squads from their college into the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm too." Lan Lingzi added.

Vice Principal Qing Man laughed when she heard this. "The Principal has always been at odds with that guy from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. He must have felt quite disgruntled when he asked for their assistance."

Lan Lingzi also smiled a little and replied, "Which is why he asked me to come back here with a message for everyone. Our students have to make him proud in this mission. If there are any outstanding performances, they will definitely be rewarded well."

Vice Principal Wu Yu thought about it for a moment. "Since the academic evaluation has just ended, the sage colleges have not left yet. I will go and issue the Mobilization Order right away."

Lan Lingzi nodded as she stared out of the window. There was a peaceful atmosphere on the schoolground. However, their mission was an extremely dangerous one. There would definitely be casualties, and the atmosphere in the school would not be as pleasant then.

She thought about it for a while and asked Vice Principal Qing Man, "Where are the people from the Astral Sage College situated? I'll pay them a visit."

Although they were already aware of the catastrophe that had happened to the Astral Sage College, Lan Lingzi would still like to meet the people from the Astral Sage College and find out how Pang Qianyuan had been doing.
