Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0986: Jiang Wanyu

Li Luo landed behind Li Fengyi and the trio, then his eyes focused on the girl in the red dress before them. She was like a fiery rose full of thorns, with captivating looks mixed with a hint of coldness and arrogance in her eyes.

He was not at all bothered by her ridicule earlier. Turning around to take a look at Li Fengyi and the rest first, he asked, "Are you guys alright?"

Among the three of them, Li Jingtao was in the best state. He had barely suffered any injuries at all. Li Fengyi, who had been the main target, appeared to be relatively unharmed too. In contrast, Deng Fengxian’s gilded armor that was flowing with resonant power seemed to be badly damaged.

Li Fengyi took a closer look at Deng Fengxian. She paused for a moment before asking, "Are you okay? Why did you help me block that attack? I could've handled it myself, I didn't need your help." It seemed like Deng Fengxian had stepped forward to fend off Jiang Wanyu's attack. He must have taken the majority of the blow for Li Fengyi, but it came at a heavy price.

In reality, she was deeply grateful. She just could not easily switch to words of gratitude after acting in such a hostile manner towards him for so long. Nonetheless, Deng Fengxian did not mind it at all. "Don't worry about it, I have the Gilded Armor to protect me," he replied.

Hearing this, Li Fengyi mumbled a little to herself but did not say anything more in the end.

"Third Brother, you arrived just in time. We discovered a batch of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew, but these two suddenly appeared. Simply put, we got into a fight over it," Li Jingtao explained with a smile. ?Li Luo nodded. This was similar to what he had thought.

While they continued to banter, Jiang Wanyu unceasingly stared at them icily. She did not show any signs of backing down just because of Li Luo's arrival. Rather, she pointed her fiery-red ruler at Li Luo in a provocative manner.

"If my guess is right, you are Li Luo, the Dragon's Head for this generation. I wonder, are you truly worthy of that title?"

Li Luo simply smiled after hearing this and asked, "What do you want?"

He had no intention to make enemies with the people from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. After all, he still wanted to make use of this opportunity to get acquainted with them. However, he could tell that this lady in front of him was arrogant, so it would be best to display his strength first when communicating with her.

"I want to test your skills!"

Jiang Wanyu's personality was just like her resonance—direct and unyielding. Like the wild flame and wind, she dashed towards Li Luo as soon as she finished her sentence. She then waved her jade ruler in front of her and drew a line in the air.

A crack appeared in the air, and a deafening dragon roar echoed throughout the space. A fire dragon burning with incinerating flames broke out from the crack and soared into the sky. it charged towards Li Luo with a domineering and tyrannic presence.

Li Luo could not help but freeze for a moment when he saw her Duke Art. This was one that he felt really familiar with.

In the next instant, Li Luo snapped out of his confusion with a smile appearing on the corner of his lips.

He formed a hand seal with a single hand, and resonant power surged up within his body. With a swing of his blade, he slashed down in front of him.

This time, a crack appeared in the sky as well. Sounds of rushing water could be heard as a black dragon flew out of the crack riding on the Underworld River, flying straight towards the crimson fire dragon.

Bang!

When the two clashed, the atmosphere exploded as boiling vapor hissed from the combination of water and sheer heat. The two opposing elements struggled and eroded each other continuously.

After a few moments, the aftermath of the clash gradually subsided.

Li Luo put his blade away and stood upright. He then looked over to Jiang Wanyu, whose cold and arrogant face had turned into one of shock and surprise. She could not believe her own eyes as she looked at Li Luo and asked, "Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner?! How did you learn one of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's Duke Arts!"

As she was one of the elite students from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College, Jiang Wanyu was naturally very familiar with the Duke Art that Li Luo had just used. In fact, it was in the same class of Duke Art as the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner that she had just activated! They were all a part of the same Destiny-grade Duke Art, the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon! It was a top tier Duke Art even in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

The Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner that Jiang Wanyu had mastered was just one part of it. The Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner that Li Luo had used was another part of it!

She had recognized it instantly because it had always been her dream to master the complete version of the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon one day. Therefore, she had some knowledge of the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner.

Seeing her response, Li Luo smiled a little but did not answer her directly. He looked over at the battle in the distance. Over there, Zong Sha from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College was fighting against Li Fuling's group. With his eight-pearl strength, he had pressured them into a corner.

However, the situation changed completely when Li Lingjing arrived to help.

Li Lingjing did not hold back at all. As soon as she dashed into the battlefield, she waved the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff, and the poison rays fueled with shocking resonant power shot directly at Zong Sha's face.

Bang!

As the poison rays swept across, the void shook fiercely. The sudden strike was so domineering that the expressions of Li Fuling and the rest changed.

Zong Sha was also taken aback. He could sense a grave threat coming from her attack, and as such, he did not dare to hesitate, only spitting out a stream of amber sand from his mouth immediately. The amber sand seemed to possess a sort of mystical charm, as if it was some form of treasured artifact.

When the sand landed on Zong Sha's fist, it transformed into an auric glove with which he threw a strong punch. Golden light radiated from it like the rising sun.

Bang!

The glove struck so quickly that a golden afterimage was left behind when it clashed directly with the poison rays. A tempest of wild energy swept across the battlefield upon collision, resulting in Li Fuling and the rest being blown back, feeling their blood churn within their bodies from the sheer aftershock.

Zong Sha took a few steps back as his body shook from the direct confrontation. His gaze turned exceptionally serious at this moment. “Is this girl one of the elites from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li?”?However, he had zero intel about her. From what he knew of those who had entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave, the strongest individual from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was Li Wuyuan. This lady in front of him was at a similar level and yet she was not recognizable.

As he retreated, Li Lingjing had no intention of losing the initiative. Her small body moved forward in a flash, chasing after him. With a swing from her Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff, the sky seemed to be enveloped by countless pythons that rained down upon Zong Sha.

"Duke Art: Gold Sandstorm!"

Zong Sha did not dare to let his guard down. He formed hand seals with both hands and let out a long scream. Continuous streams of glittering sand flew out of his sleeves and turned into a raging sandstorm, clashing with the rain of pythons.

Bang!

Astonishing energy undulations constantly caused explosions within the void as well as in the space around them.

This exchange of blows did not last very long before the golden sandstorm started to disperse up in the sky. Zong Sha was forced to retreat, and he landed beside Jiang Wanyu. He stared at Li Lingjing with a hint of fear as he said, "The situation is bad. They have gotten strong reinforcements. We should prepare to retreat."

However, Jiang Wanyu did not pay him any heed. She kept looking at Li Luo and asked incessantly, "How did you learn the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner?"

"Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner?"

Zong Sha was shocked when he heard her. He looked at Li Luo suspiciously and said, "The Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner is a secret art of the Academic Federation. You're from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, so how did you learn it?"

Li Luo cupped his hands together and smiled. "My two friends from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College, there seems to have been some misunderstanding. Can we take a break and talk things over, please?"

"Explain your possession of the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner first. The Heavenly Origin Ancient College has a team of inspectors meant to protect the secrecy of our arts. If you do not have a legitimate reason for possessing it, our college will send a team over to demand an explanation, even though you're from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li," Zong Sha said.

Hearing this, Li Luo smiled and replied, "Before I came to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, I studied in the Astral Sage College in the outer divine continent. The Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner is something that I learned back then.

"In other words, I'm actually from the Academic Federation as well."

"The outer divine continent? Astral Sage College?"

Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu took a look at each other. They were aware that some Sage Colleges were allowed to obtain incomplete copies of Duke Arts from the Ancient Colleges. Li Luo's explanation did seem reasonable here. Besides, they could easily verify if he was really from a Sage College later on.

With that, their expressions gradually became less serious. Their gazes towards Li Luo softened a little, showing less hostility.

Like what Li Luo had said, they were all part of the Academic Federation, even though he was from a Sage College. Therefore, they were all on the same side.

As such, the duo slowly descended from the top of the tree after a few moments of hesitation.
