Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0200: Unyielding Form

The next two days kept Li Luo on his toes from morning to night. First was the refining arts revision, improving his third-grade spirit liquid completion rate. Once he could create it for the first time, he would be an honest-to-goodness third-grade resonance artificer.

Besides, he had to keep up his own cultivation. He didn't know if Jiang Qing'e even believed her own excuse of keeping him in shape, but she dragged him to the practice room for an hour each day... to beat him up.

"Stimulate the cultivation."

He was a quivering mess every time, his legs wobbling and groaning as he limped out.

Li Luo had no idea how effective it was, but he swore his ability to take beatings was getting better...

After his daily beatings, Li Luo also had to study up on the healing properties of water and wood resonances.

...

In a workshop.

Li Luo was hunched over an injured beast on the table. There was a visible trace of blood on it, which he put both hands over.

He called forth his resonant power, water and wood resonant powers merging in his palm to call forth powerful regenerative abilities.

After a few moments, the scar was already healing rapidly.

A decent result.

Li Luo wasn't surprised. They were the healing elements, after all. Plus, his water resonance even had light resonance supporting it.

Which was another healing element.

Still, the light resonance was secondary to his primary water resonance. It was not as strong, but the three healing elements gave Li Luo confidence that he could eventually recover from anything unless he was killed in one hit.

He let the animal go. He had already familiarized himself with the healing ability quite a bit, healing many injuries over the day.

In truth, he felt like he had neglected this aspect previously, tunnel-visioning on the strength and power that the elements could bring him. Healing was quite magical as well.

"Definitely worth exploring..."

...

Third day, practice room.

Jiang Qing'e hefted a long, wooden spear. "Ready for today's serving?"

"I feel like you've just been venting your anger on Punching Bag Li Luo for the last two days. Are you still angry about me hiding the lifespan thing from you?" he grumbled.

"Not at all." She smiled guilelessly. "I am really just training you. Your resonant power control will become more mature with this."

Beautiful women were always good at lying, and Jiang Qing'e was so beautiful that she could lie about needing organs, and people would probably rip them out for her gladly.

"Fine," he conceded. "I won't fight today, then..."

He threw down the weapon in his hand and walked to within ten meters of Jiang Qing'e. "Come at me with your close-combat resonance arts. Attack my body."

Li Luo put his palms together, channeling his blue and green energies. In it, he mixed a thread of light resonant energy.

All three healing powers were imbued into his body.

They appeared as a faint light on his skin, forming some vague patterns.

Jiang Qing'e was surprised at the amount of vitality teeming within his body.

"Healing powers?

"After two days, you're now using it on yourself?"

She raised a slender hand and summoned glowing power, bright as the sun.

Pushing out slightly, the light dissolved into shining needles that caged Li Luo.

Weng! Weng!

They began to prick away at his skin, drawing wells of blood. Li Luo did not flinch.

Through the pain, he did not make a sound.

Although he was repeatedly being injured, his flesh continued to respond as though it were alive, healing itself at great speed.

Li Luo was delighted. In this state, his regeneration was superhuman. In a life-or-death struggle, chances were that it would end being life for him.

The light needles faded away. Li Luo was covered in blood, but he was completely unharmed. "Water and wood—the healing is miraculous," Jiang Qing'e said. "You’re just in the beginning stages, but already they help the body's recovery rate."

She was truly surprised by how strong it was. She had only used a fraction of her power, but then again, it should have been a decent attack against someone of Li Luo's level.

"I call this state Unyielding Form. It can increase my physical regeneration for a short while, but it costs a lot of resonant power, so I can't hold it for long," Li Luo said with some pride.

Jiang Qing'e smiled. "Many water and wood resonance users employ something similar to strengthen their bodies, so it's nothing too special. I hear that some can even enter an unkillable state.

"But...

"For some reason, your healing powers feel a little different. Is this the advantage of dual resonances?"

Li Luo smiled. Of course it was the additional light resonance that was supporting his other two resonances. While it wasn't as strong, it was the perfect accent to enhance them.

"Let's leave it at that for today. Oh, isn’t today the first test against the resonance artificers? How have they been performing these last two days? Elder Zheng Ping reports that they're diligently refining. No one's pulling anything."

Jiang Qing'e was not too happy about that. She would rather their enemy show their hand earlier.

"There's no point in overthinking it. We'll deal with whatever comes," Li Luo said calmly.

"First on the list: the first test at the Suncreek Villa headquarters."

Li Luo had prepared well for this. It would determine whether he could snag up the resonance artificers. For the first test, he would show some respect... and crush them.
