Absolute Resonance Chapter 0641: Tempting The Three-tail

Chapter 0641: Tempting The Three-tail

In the dimly lit s.p.a.ce where the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was contained, the beast leered furiously at Li Luo. The final two conditions had led it to restrain itself.

To be fair, they were extraordinarily wonderful for it.

For a year’s worth of humiliation, this human brat would not only return its freedom, but allow it to break into the Duke Stage?

How could such generosity exist in this world? What was the catch?

A year was not much time to a long-lived spirit beast—it would pa.s.s as quickly as one snapped their fingers. This transaction was undoubtedly good enough to make it shed tears of joy.

Without even mentioning how precious freedom alone was, there was the additional alluring condition of being able to break into the Duke Stage.

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf had reached the peak of the Heavenly Resonance Stage, comparable to being at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Stage. Strictly speaking, it was already at the crux of breaking into the Duke Stage, which meant that it was even stronger than the average peak Greater Heavenly Resonance Stage cultivator by multiple times. However, it had been trapped at the gates, unable to break through despite countless years of trying.

That final step had often eluded it, and it was difficult to break through the shackles that kept it in the Heavenly Resonance Stage.

And right now, a tiny human said he’d a.s.sist it in doing so?

Preposterous! Ludicrous!

There was a suppressed, low roar that rumbled from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf between gritted fangs. What was fascinating was that despite it being in disbelief over those words, it did not express the humiliation it felt the first time Li Luo spoke out. Instead, there was a questioning look in its eyes.

Clearly, it had been slightly swayed by the sight of Li Luo’s triple resonances, reducing its contempt for him.

On the other hand, Li Luo remained cool as a cuc.u.mber. “Do you feel that I can’t live up to my words?”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf snorted, and a fishy stench wafted out from its breath, its actions speaking louder than its growls.

“It looks like I have to enlighten and broaden your view of the world, so that you no longer remain an ignorant wolf in a well.” Li Luo grinned. Listening to Li Luo’s mocking words, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf felt anger. d.a.m.ned Fiend Palace human. You dare to make fun of a spirit beast at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper General Stage? Without this seal, a casual swat would turn him into meat paste! Li Luo could sense the beast’s anger, but he continued, “You piddly spirit beast. You don’t understand who stands behind me, so I won’t blame you. Plus, you’ve spent so much time trapped in dark s.p.a.ces… I’ll just let you know that my backing is so amazing that even that King Stage expert you saw is fearful! That is why he directly made a request of me! Hmph!”

These words were enunciated calmly and confidently. This was the natural air a thick-skinned fellow possessed, able to master both heart and body in acting to perform a masterpiece.

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf felt a little taken aback right now. A King Stage powerhouse whom it couldn’t even muster the courage to despise was actually fearful of the mysterious backer of this brat?

What sort of background did he have?

“Alas, I am now far away from my homeland… and because of certain reasons, I’ve been restricted in many ways. Thus, I have no choice but to discuss terms with you personally. Frankly speaking… if you ever follow me back to my home, a spirit beast that has yet to break into the Duke Stage wouldn’t even have the right to carry my shoes, I’m afraid!” Li Luo continued placidly. The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf bared its fangs and its scarlet pupils scowled at Li Luo. Was this brat just a flowery liar or did he truly have a terrifying background?

Logically speaking, this brat clearly liked to brag. However, the fact that he had triple resonances and a King Stage expert had placed it in this seal for him was an action that spoke volumes about their relations.h.i.+p. As a result, it felt an indescribable apprehension.

“You don’t need to be angry. This is just the hard truth, and reality is cruel.” As Li Luo continued to banter, he suddenly stretched his hand out, and a blob of blood essence slowly floated into the air. It flew directly towards the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf.

When the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf focused upon the drop of blood essence, it could instinctively feel that it contained some sort of frightening presence, an aura of sheer terror. The fear it struck into its heart was even greater than that of the King Stage expert…

This threw its thoughts into a frenzy, and the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf trembled. At the same time, a boundless desire for this drop of blood essence was born within its heart. A scarlet tongue licked the corner of its lips as it glanced at Li Luo once again. Seeing that the brat did not stop, it gulped the drop of blood essence down.

Bang!

When the drop of blood essence entered its stomach, its entire body began to shudder uncontrollably. At the same time, it could feel a terrifying pressure radiate from within its body, and a draconic roar resounded within its mind. Boundless suppression that transcended s.p.a.ce and time descended down upon him.

The suppression itself was not too intense, especially if one was a human. Perhaps it might not even have been noticeable. Unfortunately, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf could distinctly feel the suppression bearing down upon it with regal majesty. It was the pressure one felt when they were in the presence of a higher life form, something ingrained into every living creature’s blood. An absolute suppression towards an inferior being.

With that, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf kneeled.

Its eyes didn’t hide its shock as it stared at Li Luo with a blank expression.

It finally believed Li Luo’s words.

Just a mere droplet of blood essence was able to subdue it in spirit and body. This unimpressive brat undoubtedly possessed a background he could not afford to offend.

Being able to restrain even a King did not seem too far fetched as a result.

If this brat had such a background, relying on him might not be too bad, especially if it could enter the Duke Stage.

Unknowingly, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf pulled back its presence, and the fiendish energy emitting from it reduced drastically. The thought struck it as it projected a thought towards Li Luo.

“How can I trust you?”

This brat looked like a treacherous individual after all. What if he didn’t return its freedom nor fulfill his promise after a year? Wouldn’t it have labored for nothing?

A radiant smile burst forth from Li Luo’s face. He knew that the creature had been moved.

This was to be expected. The temptation of the Duke Stage and freedom was a honey too sweet to be refused. Li Luo believed that no man or beast would ever refuse this proposition.

Li Luo raised his hand and spoke seriously for once. “I can swear it upon my bloodline. Although I don’t know if there’s any use in that, I feel that you don’t have much of a choice either way.”

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf glared at Li Luo for a moment more before sinking into deep thought. It was as Li Luo had said, it didn’t have much choice, and if it didn’t agree, it may very well be stuck within this s.p.a.ce for the rest of eternity.

A King’s seal was not something a spirit beast like itself could overcome.

Since it was a desperate situation, it would be better to fight instead.

If the brat in front of him had the background he bragged of, this temporary submission would not be completely unpalatable.

With that, it lied down, indicating that it had chosen to abide by Li Luo’s conditions.

This sight was a ripple of joy in Li Luo’s still heart. Convincing the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was easier than he had expected.The triple resonances and his supposed background provided the necessary push.

The Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf would now be his strongest ace below the power of a Duke. It even had a chance to break into the Duke Stage. The willing a.s.sistance of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf far surpa.s.sed the strength he could draw out with the Heavenly Libation Chant.

If the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf wasn’t so much stronger than him that he would have trouble controlling it, he would have very well just released the spirit beast directly, adding a top tier combatant to tip the scales in his favor.

“Little Three, we will be battle buddies now.” Li Luo enthusiastically walked up and patted the ma.s.sive paws of the wolf. “Why don’t you try calling me ‘Boss?’ If you follow me, you’ll get anything your heart desires. If you are loyal, then the Duke Stage will be nothing to you! You’ll be crowned the Heavenly Wolf King!”

Listening to Li Luo’s fantastical bragging did not move it—it completely ignored him. Instead, its eyes swept past Li Luo before closing as if to take a nap.

If he truly wanted its loyalty, this brat would first have to surpa.s.s it. It was only for the sake of its freedom and future that it was willing to feign a sense of civility.

“Idiot brat.”
