Absolute Resonance Chapter 608 - Plan

Chapter 0608: Plan

The third resonance had been refined successfully, and that was to be expected. He was in the middle of his home, not some dangerous locale. The Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel was mystical, and Li Luo simply had to sustain the flow of his resonance energy into it for it to operate autonomously, a.s.sisting with the fusion of the two materials.

Thus, as the refining continued for several hours, Li Luo gradually felt that his resonant power was draining dry. Fortunately, a resplendent light spilled forth from the wheel at this point and covered the room, looking a little like starlight in the night skies.

A special sound could be heard within the midst of this starry light. It almost sounded like an embryo's very first heartbeat.

This acquired resonance was something unique. Using the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art would enable one to combine different resonances and spiritually smelt them into an entirely perfect fusion. This was basically unheard of in the East Divine Continent.

When Li Luo first encountered the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Art, he had not understood its implication and wonder. However, now that he had continued to learn more about cultivation and experienced more of the world, he finally caught a glimpse of how heaven-defying and marvelous this art was.

Just how had his parents come across this?

This resonance art was a perfect fit for his three blank palaces.

Li Luo continued to stare unabated at the pervasive mysterious light, breathing as lightly as he could, as if it would disrupt the proceedings.

Gradually, the light began to recede, and when the last rays dissipated, a small ball of light the size of a thumb appeared from within the center of the wheel.

The ball of light seemed extremely feeble, as though a small gust would cause it to extinguish.

Li Luo's heart was palpitating as he stared at it. He understood that this was his long-awaited third acquired resonance! Although its initial form was extremely fragile and it could be extinguished with a puff, he knew that he had to keep it safe. Otherwise, all of his materials would be squandered without result!

Fortunately, Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had provided some notes on their experiences with refining acquired resonances, and Li Luo had some ideas on how to strengthen the nascent Thunder Dragon resonance.

With a measured pace, Li Luo bit the tip of his tongue, and a glob of blood essence shrouded in his resonant energy was spat out. The blood essence quickly condensed and compressed into a thumb-sized blood pearl in a blink.

Immediately after, Li Luo's complexion quickly turned pale.

The blood pearl landed in the center of the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel, right atop the ball of light. At that moment, small wisps of blood were extracted from the pearl, merging into the light ball.

Gradually, the light ball began to intensify in brightness.

If one listened carefully, they would hear faint, draconic roars and the booming of thunder coming from within.

At the same time, Li Luo could feel a strange connection forming between the Thunder Dragon resonance and himself.

A weary but excited smile surfaced. He knew that the refinement of the Thunder Dragon resonance was a success. The difference between this and the woodearth resonance was that this new one required time to be continuously nurtured by his blood essence. Only when it had reached a certain level of growth could he integrate it into his blank palace.

There was no need to rush the process. Either way, Li Luo had yet to break into the Earth Fiend General Stage. As a result, he did not dare to forcefully integrate it. If anything were to happen, his Resonant Master Stage power might simply not be enough to prevent a disastrous outcome.

After all was said and done, he gingerly stored the Acquired Resonance G.o.dly Forging Wheel in his pocket sphere.

There were two months left until the Housemeet, and he had many things to accomplish before that point.

Firstly, he had to break through his cultivation stage. This would provide a significant boost to his strength, considering the ma.s.sive gap between the Resonant Master and General Stages. In the struggle against Ao Bai, he had clearly felt the disparity in sheer power between them despite him only being at the pseudo-General Stage. The four best students of the One Star Hall had to collaborate closely in order to barely suppress him.

If Ao Bai had been a true Earth Fiend, with a fully refined Fiend Palace, Li Luo and the rest would not have managed to turn the tables.

However, breaking into that stage was not a walk in the park. Strictly speaking, it had only been a year since he obtained his first acquired resonance. In such a short span of time, he had achieved growth beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Although the Holy Grail Meet had provided certain tailwinds, the college would not easily part with their cultivation resources for him to squander. Still, this was a monumental achievement that would shock those who knew the full story.

And Li Luo was doing this in the One Star Hall, which would undoubtedly lead to even more surprise. This would be a new record as he would be the first One Star Hall student to do so.

Even Jiang Qing'e had not managed such a feat.

Though it has to be said that this was because the secret cultivation technique she utilized had suppressed her cultivation speed in the lower levels. Its purpose was to create a strong foundation, enabling her to eventually leap forward later.

Regardless, if Li Luo was able to break through in the next two months, he'd definitely be heralded as the student with the most potential in the Astral Sage College.

However, based on his own estimations, his probability of reaching the Earth Fiend Stage right now was around 30%. If he had another half a year's worth of time, it'd probably rise to around 80%. Well... he didn't have half a year's worth of time.

He had to personally cut down Pei Hao during the Housemeet after all.

Pei Hao had Fiend Finisher Tier strength, and if Li Luo wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to utilize the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's power. Yet this was a double-edged sword because he would be corroded by its evil intent.

The more he took advantage of the beast's strength, the stronger the effect on him.

If Li Luo wanted to have better control over this borrowed strength, he would have to improve himself, and reaching the Earth Fiend Stage would be the best form of additional protection.

"The Holy Tree Marrow Crystal would probably increase my chances by about 30% as well," Li Luo mused to himself. Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin had promised it as a reward, and it provided a substantial boost to one's chances of breaking through.

With that in mind, his chances would rise to about 60%.

Yet he felt that this was still not enough.

Thus, he would have to strengthen his resonances as well.

Currently, his waterlight resonance was at the lower seventh-grade and the woodearth resonance was at the sixth-grade.

If the waterlight resonance was able to reach the upper seventh-grade and the woodearth resonance the lower seventh-grade, his resonant power would become significantly denser and more plentiful. At that point, his total chances of breaking through would reach 80%.

This would be the most perfect outcome in his view.

Cultivating a Duke art would likely have to wait till after his breakthrough. This would then increase his chances of cultivating one successfully.

"It looks like I will have to pick a weaker Duke art as per the vice princ.i.p.al's suggestion." Li Luo was pressed for time, so he had to maximize every opportunity to improve himself. As a result, he had to create a comprehensive plan.

"It looks like the next order of action will be to upgrade my resonances." Li Luo took a deep breath and hopped off his bed. It looked like a trip to the Golden Dragon Bank was in order.

This was because Cai Wei had previously instructed him to be the one in charge of purchasing spirit liquids and purifying lights. In a normal situation, there was no need for the young lord himself to be doing menial labor. So why did he have to go in person? Well, the fact of the matter was that Cai Wei had realized that whenever Li Luo himself went to purchase spirit liquids and purifying lights, he'd actually be able to get a lower price than others... Thus, the task of purchasing these items would naturally fall to him!

On the other hand, Li Luo also understood why he received a discount. It was all because of Lu Qing'er's help, and he naturally had a guilty conscience for taking advantage of her soft-heartedness and kindness towards him.

Unfortunately, House Luolan required significant amounts of resources for development, and he could only note down her generosity in his heart.

At the same time, he would also need to pay a visit to Yu Hongxi.

Vice Princ.i.p.al Su Xin had previously reminded him to watch his back. The Golden Dragon Bank was undoubtedly a powerhouse, and Li Luo needed to confirm her intentions towards House Luolan.

The thought of having to interact with Yu Hongxi also caused Li Luo to give a gentle sigh. He did have a good impression of her and she had provided invaluable a.s.sistance all this time. He truly respected her as an elder.

Hopefully, she held no malice towards House Luolan.
