Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0623: Thunderbolt Art

House Luolan, Skygold Room

Li Luo was sitting cross-legged in the middle with his eyes tightly shut and his hands clasped together in a hand sign. Worldly natural energy was surging around him, and a strand of earth fiend energy entered his body.

Right before it was able to wreak havoc, an illusory phantom of a dragon appeared before it, directly opening its maw and belching out a blast of dragonbreath that enveloped it.

The earth fiend energy continued to squirm and struggle within the dragonbreath, looking as though it was being submerged in lava. Eventually, its berserk nature was cleanly wiped out by the refinement process.

This entire process took a full hour to complete.

After the dragonbreath dissipated, the earth fiend energy was gone. Instead, there were five black rays of light swimming around the inside of Li Luo’s body as though they were sentient black fish. It was an indescribable and inscrutable scene.

"These are abstruse fiend lights?" Li Luo elatedly observed the five black rays of light that had been refined by the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath. He had spent countless days trying, and this was his first success.

The five rays of abstruse fiend light also physically demonstrated the power of a Five Fiends Art.

Li Luo curiously continued to watch one of the rays of abstruse fiend light. With a thought, it directly entered his waterlight resonant palace, tunneling into the manifestation of his resonance, the waterlight spirit lake. It now seemed like a little fish that had found a new home.

He then opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. Resonant power coagulated around his palm, and it turned into a shimmering, rapidly-moving stream of water that possessed frightening penetrative and incisive abilities.

This was the Thousand Watery Knives Art. With another thought, a ray of abstruse fiend light flowed out of his resonant palace, merging with the radiant water blade.

A moment later, Li Luo saw a layer of stygian black light coat the edge of the blade. It seemed to have turned even fiercer and a tad tyrannical.

Flicking his finger, the blade made of flowing water explosively shot outwards, creating ear-grating sonic booms as it sliced through the air, directly hacking at a stone tablet that was constructed for testing resonance arts. Ping!

This stone tablet was fabricated out of a special material that was designed to resist damage. Yet in a flash, a three-finger-deep gash was torn right out of it! What was most fascinating was that the edges of the gash itself were abnormally smooth.

Li Luo walked forward, tentatively using his finger to feel the impact of his attack, a trace of surprise arising in his gaze. He clearly remembered that before he had broken into the Fiend Palace Tier, the Thousand Watery Knives Art would only cause a gash about two fingers deep. With the amplification of his new resonant power, the effect of the art had increased by almost 50%.

Was this the might of abstruse fiend light?

Li Luo sighed in admiration.

This was why others commonly said that the Earth Fiend General Stage was when one truly stepped into the path of resonant power cultivation. The Resonant Master Stage was just the tutorial.

"Abstruse fiend light is amazing stuff," Li Luo said, full of longing. He had only just started cultivating the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath, and even though he had been able to form five rays of abstruse fiend light, it had taken a long time to learn. And his efficiency was not great.

Increasing the efficiency of the refinement would require getting more familiar with the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath and cultivating it to greater success.

After experiencing the might of the abstruse fiend light, Li Luo began to cultivate a new resonance art.

This was the first one he would learn.

A low-grade dragon-general resonance art: Thunderbolt Art.

This was a top-tier body art that focused on increasing one's speed, and it was something that Li Luo had decided upon some time ago. Now that he had a thunder resonance, he was able to cultivate thunder-related resonance arts.

The Thunderbolt Art was something that Li Luo had discovered within House Luolan's library. Now that the conditions were ripe, he could finally start learning it.

Li Luo stood on the spot, his eyes drooping slightly as he channeled resonant power throughout his body, directing most of it to his feet. At this point, thunderbolts could be seen crackling through his soles. What made it mystifying was that these motes of thunder seemed to be moving in a certain pattern through Li Luo's legs, constantly stimulating his flesh, blood, and meridians.

At this moment, thunder resonant power was smoothly flowing through the meridians in his legs.

Gradually, he began to feel an aching and burning pain throughout his flesh and blood as the resonant power continued to flow.

Right at this moment, he snapped to attention, and a flash of lightning could be seen within his pupils. He then raised his foot and took a step.

Bang!

The crackling boom of thunder echoed throughout the skygold room.

Li Luo had moved dozens of meters in a single flash. However, he was not pleased with the result when he saw the state of his legs. Every single pore on his feet seemed to be bleeding, and his skin and flesh were showing signs of being ripped apart.

"The difficulty of learning a dragon-general resonance art indeed significantly surpasses that of a tiger-general resonance art." He sighed.

The Thunderbolt Art had not been cultivated successfully. As a dragon-general resonance art, the highest tier it could reach was the Fifth Flash, which would allow the user to travel almost anywhere within a thousand meters in a flash. Currently, he was not even at the First Flash Tier as he had not cultivated it successfully.

However, Li Luo was not in a rush, as cultivating any resonance art required a significant amount of time. He might be a genius unseen through the ages when it came to comprehending resonance arts, but this art would still require some time investment. Even so, this incomplete version of the art had increased his speed significantly and had shored up some of his weaknesses.

As he pondered over the flow of thunder resonant power throughout his body during the usage of the art, he was simultaneously utilizing his other two resonant powers to quickly heal his body, eliminating the throbbing pain.

After his legs recovered, he left the skygold room and concluded his day of cultivation.

After which, he made his way towards the inner hall, where he saw Jiang Qing'e brandishing her heavy sword. Her lithe body was currently lightly threading through a series of motions whilst the sword in her hand moved as though it possessed a life of its own, slashing in all sorts of profound trajectories.

Li Luo could keenly feel that the sword dance was rousing all of the worldly natural energy around them, pouring it into Qing'e at a frightening rate.

At the same time, her slender and delicate body was like a bottomless abyss, constantly engulfing any and all energy that came her way.

One could not fathom how deep and unmeasurable her actions were.

Li Luo continued to focus upon Jiang Qing'e's body, gradually becoming intoxicated and beguiled at the rousing sight. She was frighteningly beautiful, yet her might was akin to that of a ferocious spirit beast that one should not idly provoke. A wrong move would inevitably lead to a terrifying counterattack.

Weng.

At this very instant, the void before Li Luo seemed to ripple.

The heavy sword had soundlessly cleaved apart the space before him, pausing right before Li Luo's throat.

Raising his arms in surrender, Li Luo did not dare to even let out a squeak.

After which, a hint of amusement surfaced within Jiang Qing'e's emotionless, golden eyes. She sheathed her weapon, and the roiling worldly natural energy seemed to have quietened down.

"Sister Qing'e, are you about to make your breakthrough?" Li Luo curiously asked.

Jiang Qing'e's actions had aroused a sense of danger within him. It was as though there were undercurrents surging beneath a thin layer of ice, ready to erupt like a geyser at any moment, drowning anyone in its vicinity.

Jiang Qing'e did not reply but just gave a wry smile. "It's time to go. I want to head to the college today."

Li Luo nodded and sighed. "Today will be a day that even the heavens will be taken by surprise. History is about to be made at the Astral Sage College."

Why? It was the day where Jiang Qing'e would officially issue a challenge to a member of the Seven Astral Pillars.

If she succeeded, it would be a legendary feat. the Astral Sage College's history would be irreversibly changed.

Destiny was going to be rewritten on this date.
