Absolute Resonance Chapter 631 - Dual Legends

Chapter 0631: Dual Legends

“Fiend Palace Tier?” Faced with the powerful fluctuations of resonant power emanating from Li Luo, even Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin was slightly taken aback. However, a mysterious brilliance shone in her eyes, and an uncontrollable and affable smile spread across her compa.s.sionate face.

“Li Luo, you and Jiang Qing’e have brought a lot of happy surprises to our college today.” Li Luo’s breakthrough brought great joy and satisfaction to her. Since the Astral Sage College’s inception, no One Star Hall student had ever broken into the Fiend Palace Tier. This was the second record that was broken today.

Normally speaking, such talented geniuses would only appear in the ancient colleges of the inner divine continent, the core of the Academic Federation. As a result, such individuals possessed both superior cultivation circ.u.mstances and resources that were incomparable to what the outer divine continents could provide. The extent of the support provided was as different as night and day. The other Violet Vibrance mentor also seemed to have understood this point as he stared dumbstruck at Li Luo. His cultivation speed seemed to far outstrip any normal individual, even considering his dual resonances.

Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin was a swift and decisive person when taking action. Upon confirming the truth of the matter, she no longer hesitated, directly removing a jade bottle from the pocket sphere on her wrist. She then pa.s.sed it to Mentor Chi Chan. “Student Li Luo has performed excellently in his cultivation and set a new record for the college. As a result, he is deserving of a prize. All of the leftover Fiend Origin Pills provided to the Three Star Hall will be his reward. That is a total of ten pills.” Mentor Chi Chan immediately received it before turning to pa.s.s it to Li Luo.

“Thank you, Vice princ.i.p.al!” Li Luo was jubilant as he hurriedly expressed his thanks.

This was a complete windfall. If ten Fiend Origin Pills ever appeared within the Golden Dragon Bank, they would undoubtedly be s.n.a.t.c.hed away as soon as they appeared, as there were too many monks that craved this gruel. There was simply insufficient supply for the ravenous demand of this item. Even if one managed to get the chance to buy one, it would easily go for millions of skygold. On the other hand, Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin had casually gifted ten of them to him. This was stupendous! Li Luo couldn’t help but to give a thumbs up in response.

Yet right as Li Luo received the Fiend Origin Pills, he could feel a cold and furious gaze bearing down upon him. Turning around, he unsurprisingly locked eyes with a certain Zhu Xuan, who had a distorted expression and a deathly stare.

“Senior Zhu Xuan, my sincerest apologies. However, I understand that House Jiyan is rich and affluent and wouldn’t be concerned over the minor loss of a few Fiend Origin Pills,” Li Luo said in his most polite and welcoming tone.

Zhu Xuan’s gloomy face twitched in response to Li Luo’s pandering words. Ten Fiend Origin Pills wasn’t considered expensive, but even he would have to pay a significant cost to obtain them. Alas, they had all been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the bandit Li Luo in front of his very eyes, losing him both pill and prestige.

“Senior Zhu Xuan wouldn’t try to rob me over such pittance, would he? Perhaps we can choose to settle this dispute over a quick battle? The winner takes all, I say!” Li Luo hurriedly tried to smoothen things over.

Zhu Xuan continued to glare fiercely at Li Luo. There was no fear in his eyes when he spoke. Instead, a hint of antic.i.p.ation could be seen. This only made him feel even more aggrieved. Duel? Yeah, right! He might have had a chance to suppress Li Luo for a brief moment in the past, but the junior before him today was someone completely out of his league.

He couldn’t guarantee he would win even when Li Luo was at a lower cultivation level. And now? Wasn’t he cruising for a bruising if he accepted? This guy was absolutely despicable!

“Student Zhu Xuan, there’s no need to covet these Fiend Origin Pills. If the Three Star Hall students have any remaining, I’ll leave a few for you too,” Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin cajoled.

After hearing those words, Zhu Xuan could only force a bitter smile and nod knowingly.

Next, he forlornly turned towards Li Luo and warned in a low voice, “Young Lord Li Luo, you’d better appreciate this last month of time. Perhaps House Luolan will be no more very soon. You will definitely need those Fiend Origin Pills much more than me. Hmph.” With that, he turned with a huff and left.

On the other hand, Li Luo had a wry smile on his face. He was absolutely unconcerned with Zhu Xuan’s threats as it was no secret that House Jiyan and House Luolan were mortal enemies. They’d already clashed both openly and in secret, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they interfered once again during the Housemeet.

Well, he wanted to provoke that d.a.m.n Zhu Xuan into a duel, and that would have been a wonderful opportunity to leave him bedridden for a bit…

Although Zhu Xuan’s strength was inconsequential to the overall situation, if Li Luo was able to use him as bait to infuriate House Jiyan, that would have been great. Furious people couldn’t act rationally most of the time.

It was a pity that Zhu Xuan was not as dumb as he looked. Knowing that he was not Li Luo’s opponent, he never even entertained the thought of scuffling with him.

Zhu Xuan’s mentor, on the other hand, could only helplessly shake his head. He didn’t hold any strong opinions towards Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin’s final decision. In any case, Li Luo was already in the Fiend Palace Tier, and he was better than Zhu Xuan in terms of potential and contribution.

Zhu Xuan was simply unlucky.

With that settled, he also turned to leave.

“Li Luo, are you planning to select your Duke Art now?” Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin then asked.

Li Luo nodded. “Now that I’ve broken into the Fiend Palace Tier, the difficulty in cultivating a Duke Art should have decreased.” He smiled.

“You shouldn’t disregard the difficulty of your task. If you think simply stepping into the Fiend Palace Tier is sufficient, then you’re looking down upon the Seven Astral Pillars. They haven’t managed to succeed either, despite their cultivation levels.”

Li Luo was left a little speechless at Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin’s reality check.

Looking at his slightly downcast expression, Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin then gave a smile. “Of course, that’s if we were to use a normal individual as comparison. You have managed to create countless miracles, so you can’t be considered normal. I hope you’ll continue to surprise us.”

“Thank you for the kind words.”

“Go on, then. I await your positive results.” Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin grinned as she sent him off.

Li Luo nodded and no longer tarried, directly following Mentor Chi Chan as they left the ma.s.sive square. The only thing was that when they had first arrived, everyone had only been focused on Jiang Qing’e. Now that he was leaving, over half of the audience was staring at him like some sort of freak.

Clearly, the news of him breaking into the Fiend Palace Tier had spread in this short span of time.

Frankly speaking, the magnitude of the surprise did not equal that of Jiang Qing’e overcoming a Seven Astral Pillar.

However, Li Luo being able to achieve this while he was still in the One Star Hall was unfathomable. How strong would he be by the time he entered the Three Star Hall? It shouldn’t be too difficult to replicate Jiang Qing’e’s achievements ahead of schedule, right?

If such a thing came to pa.s.s, the duo would become the Astral Sage College’s most iconic couple.

Despite being pummeled by the shocked stares of the audience, Li Luo was completely unfazed. Why? He was about to reach the resonance art library, and he was naturally excited by the prospect of learning a Duke Art. This was something he antic.i.p.ated even more than the Fiend Origin Pills.

He was absolutely thrilled. Ten minutes later, Mentor Chi Chan finally stopped walking as they arrived at their destination.

Raising his head, an ancient paG.o.da stood before him.

Three large words were engraved on it: Resonant Art PaG.o.da. Each character shone under the radiant sun.

A humongous grin uncontrollably formed on Li Luo’s face. It was time for a Duke Art!
