Chapter 0789 – Draw

"What else could have happened? Did you expect us to defeat Lu Qingmei?" Li Luo replied jokingly.

The crowd laughed in response to his relaxed comment. His opponent was Lu Qingmei after all—not even Deng Fengxian would have gotten away unscathed with such a matchup.

As such, there were no expectations going into battle against such an overwhelming opponent, and thus they naturally did not feel much pressure from it.

In the eyes of the crowd, it was expected that Li Luo would have lost, and this was due to an unlucky matchup rather than his incapability.

Even Zhong Ling, who had stayed away from the group, simply stared at him with cold eyes.

At this moment, Li Jingtao and Li Fengyi walked over. With a light pat on Li Luo\'s shoulder, they told him, "It\'s alright, such unlucky things happen from time to time. Even Li Qingfeng would have gotten a headache against a martial arts fanatic like Lu Qingmei."

"Did she give you a good beating?" Li Fengyi joked.

However, Li Luo simply remained silent. He did not share about how Lu Qingmei had given him the God Origin Pill after being impressed by his performance. After all, that was nothing worth bragging about. Conversely, this incident had inspired him, and he hoped that he would be able to fight Lu Qingmei again and emerge victorious one day.

And this feeling was not out of petty revenge. Rather, it was to return her gift with the worthy battle that she had been looking forward to.

As they continued chatting at the side, the screen started to display the results of the battle among the banners.

Suddenly, Li Luo could hear some surprised comments coming from the Green Nether Banner.

Li Fengyi turned over to take a look at the screen before glancing back over to the fifth division. She then asked in shock, "Little Brother, you managed to obtain a draw?"

Hearing this, Li Luo first thought that there must have been a mistake. He quickly glanced over, and sure enough, beside their battle with the Holy Scale Banner\'s first division, the final result was actually a… draw?

But they had clearly left the Fiendish Devil Cave first...

"Sub Leader, this must have been done by Lu Qingmei. The Fiendish Devil Cave has some spirituality to it. If she is the last one to leave the cave, she has the right to choose the final result of the battle," Zhao Yanzhi explained.

Li Luo was stunned. What was Lu Qingmei thinking?

Although he still had some tricks hidden up his sleeve, like the two Nine Revolutions Arts that he had not used, he was very sure it would not have made a difference in the end. After all, the difference in their strength was too great.

However, if he just wanted to drag the battle until the incense finished burning, it could have been possible.

Could it be that Lu Qingmei knew about this? That he had held back slightly?

What was she thinking?

Li Luo could not figure it out at all.

"Why would Lu Qingmei deem it a draw?" Li Fengyi asked curiously.

"Perhaps because of my good looks?" Li Luo replied with a deep voice.

The others froze at his response and could not help but roll their eyes.

"Even though your looks aren\'t bad, and perhaps they might even help you a little against other girls, I\'ll have to burst your bubble. You\'re up against Lu Qingmei. To her, you probably look the same as this guy over here," Li Fengyi responded as she pointed at Mu Bi, who was right next to her.

Mu Bi suddenly felt offended. Was he that bad looking?

Hearing this, Li Luo laughed out loud. He stretched out his hand to reveal the God Origin Pill in his palm, then he told them, "We definitely lost in the previous battle. However, Lu Qingmei set some additional rules to make the fight easier for us. She probably didn\'t want to bully us, and she even handed me this God Origin Pill before we departed."

His words had sparked the interest of Li Jingtao and Li Fengyi.

"You managed to win a God Origin Pill from Lu Qingmei? Not bad," Li Fengyi praised Li Luo curiously.

Li Jingtao analyzed the situation. "Based on her personality, Lu Qingmei only cares about strong people like herself or those with remarkable potential. Looks like she was impressed by you.

"I feel like she is trying to promote you. Most people would have expected you to suffer a total defeat against her, but now that the result is a draw, many will inevitably be curious about what happened during your fight with her."

Nevertheless, Li Luo was not interested in Lu Qingmei\'s motives for doing so. A loss was a loss, and he was not proud about winning the God Origin Pill either. Even if he had lasted until the incense finished burning, he would not have considered it a win for himself.

Afterwards, Li Jingtao and Li Fengyi asked him out for an afterparty celebration, but he turned them down. He had something more important on hand—he wanted to head back and properly understand the flash of inspiration he had obtained from the battle.

He wanted to improve upon the so-called third realm of the dual resonances, Sentience.

This was his greatest takeaway from this expedition.

He was not particularly interested in the result of the battle. However, the other banners had started discussing it, just like Li Jingtao had predicted.

Deng Fengxian of the Gold Light Banner looked over when he saw Li Luo leaving. He was intrigued by the draw as well. Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner\'s fifth division had clearly exited earlier, so it should have been an overwhelming victory by Lu Qingmei under normal circumstances.

"Seems like Li Luo is more talented than expected. Otherwise, Lu Qingmei wouldn\'t treat him so specially. We will have to find out more details about the battle and see what exactly Li Luo did. What could have impressed Lu Qingmei so much that she was willing to admit a draw?"

…….

At the Dragon\'s Blood Lineage, Fiendish Devil Peak.

"Hey, what is that muscle-for-brains girl, Lu Qingmei, thinking now? She only obtained a draw with the Green Nether Banner\'s fifth division? Isn\'t she afraid of being shamed?" Li Hongli sneered coldly as she looked at the conclusion of the battle.

She was clearly a little unhappy about it as she had more losses than wins in her clashes with Lu Qingmei. Seeing Lu Qingmei give Li Luo a draw, frankly, she felt insulted.

"I heard that Li Luo is quite handsome. Has that barbarian girl fallen for him?" She scoffed.

Looking at the results, Li Qingfeng smiled lightly as he responded, "Don\'t you know Lu Qingmei\'s personality by now? She is not interested in such things at all. Based on my understanding of her, she must have been impressed by Li Luo during their clash, either from his strength or his potential... However, she and her division are much stronger than Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner\'s fifth division. She must have felt that it was not a fair fight despite her victory, so she deemed it a draw instead. In other words, she feels that Li Luo and the Green Nether Banner\'s fifth division would’ve stood a chance of winning if they were on the same level as her. She surely thinks highly of Li Luo.

"Go find out the details of the battle. If even Lu Qingmei thinks highly of him, he must have outstanding points. We should not be too arrogant and underestimate him, or it may spell disaster for us in the future." With that, Li Qingfeng concluded his explanation.

Li Hongli was a bit reluctant about this, but she proceeded as instructed since Li Qingfeng had given the order.

"I heard that the selection battle for the Green Nether Banner Leader has been brought forward. In less than half a month, Li Luo will be competing with Zhong Ling, the Sub Leader of the Green Nether Banner\'s first division, for it. I wonder what Li Luo will show us. Without Harmony, he is merely at the Fiend Palace Tier," Li Qingfeng said.

"Maybe he will be totally beaten black and blue," Li Hongli replied with a laugh. Li Qingfeng smiled at her response.

"Let\'s wait and see. He has spent quite some time in the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage now, so he will reveal his true colors very soon."
