Absolute Resonance Chapter 0640: Li Luo's Aim

Chapter 0640: Li Luo’s Aim

A ma.s.sive wolf was lying within a dimly lit s.p.a.ce, its three gargantuan tails swaying slowly as it released overflowing amounts of fiendish energy. However, it was not completely free—all four of its limbs and its body were enc.u.mbered by chains, glowing with engraved symbols, completely binding it to the point that free movement was impossible.

All of a sudden, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s eyes blazed open, revealing its scarlet pupils. A whirlwind of killing intent and energy whipped up out of nowhere, causing its surroundings to tremble.

“Roar!”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf opened its maw and let loose a low, guttural cry.

Its scarlet pupils remained focused on a certain location within the darkness. It was then that a human-shaped silhouette popped up, directly stopping before it.

It recognized this human. This tricky creature had lured it out of its cave and mysteriously provoked a strong Other to fight it. Eventually, it had been sealed after being used.

Even its previous mountain cell was a paradise compared to this lightless spatial location!

And the cause of all this misery was this d.a.m.ned human before it!

Bang!

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf bellowed angrily, and its entire body started to struggle. It wanted to slaughter that tiny creature before him, but at this point in time, the chains wrapped around him started to shrink violently, emitting terrifying amounts of strength and causing him to suffer immensely as they pressed down upon his body.

“Brother Three-Tail, please stop being so agitated!” Li Luo quickly attempted to defuse the situation upon seeing the furious Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf looking as though it wanted to swallow him whole.

However, his words fell on deaf ears as the wolf clearly did not want to deal with him. The chains around the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf continued to hum and shrink as its humongous body tugged against its restraints, all while it continued to glare at Li Luo with its blood-red eyes, causing anyone to feel great fear before it.

“Brother Three-Tail, don’t you want to escape this seal and regain your freedom?” Li Luo continued to parley with it, shouting loudly.

These were the magic words required, and the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s body suddenly turned rigid, no longer struggling like before. However, it continued to glare at Li Luo as it released a rumbling roar, allowing Li Luo to feel and understand the intention that it contained.

Simply put, it felt sarcastic, full of rage and doubt.

Li Luo smiled sheepishly. It was said that only when a spirit beast reached the Duke Stage would it obtain the ability to speak in human tongue. The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf had yet to do so, and as a result, it was slightly harder to speak with. On the bright side, it clearly demonstrated significant intellect and could understand him, which would make negotiations slightly easier.

Thus, with a face full of sincerity, Li Luo first apologized. “Brother Three-Tail, it was wrong of me to lure you out of your mountain cave. However, it was all for your own good! You might be sealed now, but at least you left the terrible and debilitating influence of the Umbra Cave! If you were to remain there, you would have been corrupted by it and lost all sense of sanity and rationality, turning into nothing more than a wild, feral beast!”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s eyes seemed to contain cold amus.e.m.e.nt within them. This brat had forced it into such a pitiful state and he still was shameless enough to say that it was a good thing? This was a truly despicable human being!

An impatient, low roar was the response Li Luo received, essentially telling him to scram as far away as he could.

Li Luo remained unperturbed and continued to smile. “Brother Three-Tail, haven’t you ever dreamed of breaking into the Duke Stage? Do you feel that your chance to do so is good enough?” The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf once again coldly glared at Li Luo, seemingly taunting him. What did this piddly creature know about the majestic Duke stage?

In response, Li Luo continued, “I feel that I can a.s.sist you in breaking into the Duke Stage in the future.”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was uninterested in bickering more with a fool, directly lying down instead. Instead, its gaze changed into one of contempt and derision. An Earth Fiend General Stage human wanted to lecture it about breaking into the Duke Stage? This was probably the biggest joke ever.

“Brother Three-Tail, do you remember how strong I was when you met me? Do you remember how strong I was?” Li Luo asked.

Its scarlet eyes squinted slightly at him as it inspected him out of slight curiosity. The last time it had seen this human, he was only a tiny resonant master. In fact, a single breath could extinguish his very existence.

He had stepped into the Earth Fiend Stage now, which was a little surprising in terms of cultivation speed.

Now that the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf seemed to be slightly more interested and silent, Li Luo continued to smile. “Brother Three-Tail… you being sealed within my bracelet might have been a fortunate encounter for you!”

A look of amus.e.m.e.nt seemed to appear in its gaze. This human being had really thick skin. A natural clown.

However, Li Luo did not mind. “You must know that the one who sealed you was a King Stage expert. He then gifted this bracelet to me.”

The beast’s thoughts flashed back to when he had encountered that ma.s.sive and terrifying shadow. It was completely unable to do anything under his presence, much less muster up some form of courage to hate it. This was the law of the jungle, and he understood the ma.s.sive disparity between their existences.

A King Stage expert!

Just recollecting the experience caused it to tremble involuntarily.

What sort of connection did that mighty expert have with this brat?

Li Luo dully continued, “That expert gifted you to me, but he did have a request for me.”

At this point, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s heart trembled slightly as it stared in surprise at Li Luo. Kings were lofty existences that towered over all. How could someone like that request something of this weak creature. The brat had to be just blabbering his mouth off. How could any of these words make sense?

“You don’t believe me?” As though Li Luo could read the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s mind, he smiled. With a thought, resonant power emitted from him.

First, he demonstrated his water resonant power, then his wood resonant power, before finally releasing a draconic roar infused with the power of his dragon resonance. The three distinct types of resonant power had demonstrated the triple resonances Li Luo had!

“Triple resonances?!” The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf could scarcely believe its eyes. This was the biggest blow to his own confidence, and it understood that only King Stage experts could wield this devastating power.

Yet this human brat before him, barely a step into the Earth Fiend Stage, already had three?

This was a heaven-defying fiend!

A wry smile appeared on Li Luo’s face. “Now do you believe me?”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf fell into deep thought before expressing its will. Li Luo could vaguely sense that it was telling him that yes, a triple resonance was rarely seen, but it was insufficient for a King Stage expert to request anything from him.

The spirit beast knew that even though triple resonances demonstrated that he was an exceptional talent, this was still far from the actual triple resonance power that a King Stage controlled.

The bright side from all this was that Li Luo could finally feel that the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was no longer being as violent nor disregarding him like an ant-like existence.

Revealing his talent had shown its use.

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf left out another low roar. It did not understand why Li Luo was here. Was he trying to intimidate it? Ever since it had been imprisoned, its greatest nemesis was this fellow before him. Thus, understanding how talented this human was only brought about irritation and gloominess.

Feeling that the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was becoming a little impatient and hostile, Li Luo did not continue to probe and merely sighed deeply before seriously saying, “Well, to be fair, there’s only one reason why I’m here to chat with you. I want to form a contract with you. I’ll be your master for the period of a year.”

Although Li Luo could borrow the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s power with the aid of the Heavenly Libation Chant, it was still a crude way to obtain it. If the wolf was willing to a.s.sist him wholeheartedly, then he could wholly tap upon its powers.

“Roar!”

It was instantly incensed upon hearing Li Luo’s words, roaring loudly with its ma.s.sive fangs bared, expressing its utter anger.

This despicable brat actually wanted it to recognise him as its master?

Was he worthy?

Faced with the indignant and furious Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf, Li Luo’s expression remained calm. “If you agree, I’ll find a solution for you to break into the Duke Stage once I return you your freedom.”

The calm, collected voice sliced through the tense atmosphere and reverberated around the tiny, spatial location.

Finally, the roars subsided.
