Chapter 0607: Third Resonance - Thunder Dragon Resonance

“Phew.”

Li Luo was sprawled on his bed with his eyes tightly shut. The miracle paste smeared all over his body was glowing mysteriously as it tunneled into his blood and flesh. This was his fifth time going through the process, and although his resonant power was no longer increasing significantly, he could feel a hint of lightness within his body, as though it was gradually ascending to a higher state to reach perfection.

His qi and blood were bubbling with vigor. A perfect body that had been made whole.

Jiang Qing'e was beside the bed, staring at the minute changes happening to Li Luo. A trace of relief could be seen on her enthralling, jade-like face.

Five applications of the miracle paste had allowed Li Luo to regain and perfect his foundation.

She knew that he was currently in the midst of adjusting and harmonizing the effects of the medicine on his body and hence left him alone, quietly leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

This process took a full two hours to complete.

After which, the mysterious glow on his body faded, and the effects had fully fused into his flesh and blood. It was then that he finally opened his eyes, a newfound deepness hidden within. At the same time, he couldn't hide the uncontrollable joy he felt.

"My foundation has finally recovered!" He was all smiles as the sequelae left behind by his second resonance had been completely dealt with today.

Although this process had not resulted in the direct growth of his abilities and strength, he could feel that his mental state had become even more complete. This ascension of the mind gave him greater confidence in future breakthroughs.

"Hmm... but I truly wonder what the corresponding price for the third acquired resonance will be." Li Luo felt a pang of worry. The first one had left him teetering on the edge of life with merely five years left to live, an absolutely disastrous result. The second had crippled his foundation. Relatively speaking, the second one was much more acceptable, considering the fact that the solution was much more attainable.

Li Luo possessed weak resonant power back then and was unable to support the price that had to be paid for the power of an acquired resonance. Thus, his lifeblood had been used as compensation.

However, there was no other choice at the time. He had no other way to awaken his resonance, and thus, that was the only method to enter the world of cultivation. Insufficient resonant power? That's fine. My lifespan will do!

After all, if he could not awaken his resonance, he would never gain enough resonant power to utilize an acquired resonance. It was a chicken and egg problem. At least Li Luo didn't have a solution to that predicament then.

Regardless, he had managed to take the first step, and that step had put him on a path that led him to reach the heights he had today. Thus, based on what he knew, the third acquired resonance's side effects should not cause as many issues, considering the fact that he now possessed power equivalent to that of an Earth Fiend Stage cultivator.

Li Luo's imagination ran wild as he thought of the possibilities. Eventually, he shook his head and snapped out of his trance. There was no point to this thought experiment. He would bear any price for the third resonance. It was necessary.

He had struggled for so long, all for this day, no?

"Speaking of the third resonance..." Li Luo's expression s.h.i.+fted slightly. He had already refined it, and it was the perfect opportunity to integrate his third acquired resonance. Once that was done, he would break into the Earth Fiend General Stage directly.

With this train of thought, he swiped his hand over his pocket sphere, and a golden, triangular object surfaced. Engraved upon its surface were numerous ancient patterns that intertwined in an esoteric manner.

This was the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel that Mentor Chi Chan and Yu Hongxi had kindly a.s.sisted with refining. [1]

The most critical object required in obtaining an acquired resonance.

After which, Li Luo removed two more objects from within the pocket sphere.

One was a silver core of a fruit, emblazoned with patterns of thunder and lightning. Occasionally, an arc of lightning would sputter out from it, coupled with a thunderous boom.

Li Luo had acquired this gift from the Thunderpeal Tree with his virtuous actions on Thunderpeal Mountain during the Holy Grail Meet.

The fruit core contained the purest thunder energy and was a heavenly natural treasure. It was perfect as an ingredient for the third resonance.

Other than the silver fruitcore, he also possessed a dragon's bloodpearl. A shadow of a ma.s.sive dragon seemed to writhe below the surface of this object, constantly giving out potent and suppressive roars.

This was obtained within the Dragon's Belly during the compet.i.tion, an area that contained the blood essence of an actual dragon.

This was the final configuration of the acquired resonance that Li Luo had decided upon.

A dragon resonance and a thunder resonance.

The dragon resonance would be the main resonance, and the Thunder resonance would support it.

A Thunder Dragon resonance! "AAAAAH. A Thunder Dragon resonance! That's so cool!" Li Luo gushed excitedly. He had put great thought into these two resonances. His previous resonances were both inclined towards recovery and endurance. These were intentionally chosen to offset the lifespan loss that had been inflicted upon him. They were more gentle and more inclined towards vitality in terms of affinity, so they would gradually rejuvenate his body and prevent any long-lasting damage.

However, he knew he would be at the Earth Fiend General Stage when the time to make the third resonance arrived. He would be considered an actual cultivator with a robust foundation at that point. This would thus broaden his choices for his resonances.

He already possessed healing and defensive powers, and now he lacked a resonance with a more offensive slant to complete the holy trifecta. This had often caused him a headache, and he had to use his ingenuity to make up for this deficit.

Dragons were top tier existences amongst spirit beasts. It was said that the moment a pure-blooded dragon reached maturity, they would be Duke Stage existences. Thus, the dragon race could be considered to be behemoths in this world.

Naturally, a dragon resonance born in the blood of a dragon would be a peak beast resonance. Dragons were terrifying and tyrannic, able to move mountains and s.h.i.+ft the seas. Furthermore, they possessed refined physical bodies with amplified physical strength and resilience.

Beast resonances were brutal and full of destructive prowess, and the dragon resonance was no exception. If Li Luo was able to possess a dragon resonance, then he would gain a ma.s.sive increase in offensive abilities and potential.

When it came to the thunder resonance, he was particularly interested in its speed. When he had competed against Jing Taixu and Lu Ming, he could clearly feel the advantages of a resonance that specialized in alacrity. Furthermore, the importance of quickness could not be understated when compared to raw power.

Thus, the supporting resonance that was chosen, the thunder resonance, belonged to the category of resonances that emphasized this.

Once he obtained this Thunder Dragon resonance, Li Luo's strength and speed would both be augmented by a significant amount, allowing him to sh.o.r.e up his previous deficiencies.

As a result, his antic.i.p.ation towards the new resonance only grew stronger.

Without any further hesitation, he took a deep breath and began to adjust his state of mind to its peak. After which, he raised his palm and activated the resonant power within him, activating the G.o.dly Forging Art.

At the same time, the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel began to emit a splendorous mystifying light. The worldly natural energy began to show signs of being roused, and all of it was gathered towards the object, lighting up all of the engraved patterns. When the light solidified and projected itself onto the s.p.a.ce before it, it looked like countless ancient runes that had vaulted right out of the annals of history.

Li Luo carefully observed the scene before him before making a slight movement with the materials.

The dragonpearl and silver fruit core then directly dove right into the forging wheel in two streams of light.

At this very moment, a deluge of mystical light and colors radiated from the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel, encompa.s.sing the two materials as they gradually sublimated.

Draconic roars and booms of thunder continuously echoed throughout the room as this occurred.

The much-awaited third resonance was finally going to make its appearance.

1. TL Note: Well, I guess it's a triangular wheel... I mean it's probably not efficient at rolling, but hey, can't roll out of Li Luo's hands! ☜
