Chapter 0690: Triple Resonances Reveal
Weng!
All light seemed to vanish from the world when Li Luo hacked down with the Triple Resonance Saintly Ring imbued blade. Only a single blade light could be seen, filling everyone's vision.
The single blade light looked as though it could sever existence itself.
Wherever the blade light appeared, the space in front of it would shatter and countless sharp fragments of the void would be stirred up. After which, they would be swept along by the blade light itself, forming a ruinous force that would absolutely destroy whatever lay before it.
Even worldly natural energy seemed to give way to it.
All was crushed by the indomitable blade light.
At the same time, countless individuals within Xia City raised their heads and looked into the sky. An area of shattered space about ten thousand zhang long had opened up, revealing a dark crack that seemed to divide the sky above the city into two.
It frightened them.
However, it was not only the common members of the populace that were afraid. Even the countless Dukes at the viewing area felt their scalps go numb upon watching the collateral damage caused by that single attack.
"Triple Resonance Saintly Ring?!” On the Astral Sage College's side, even Vice Principal Su Xin found it completely eye-opening, while the rest of the Violet Vibrance mentors stared in complete shock.
"How could he condense a Triple Resonance Saintly Ring?" Cao Sheng's jaw dropped. This made no sense. Even though the Principal had transmitted energy to Li Luo via the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade, Li Luo was merely just a tool to project his power. How could he have been able to accomplish this?
Only a true King could do so!
Vice Principal Su Xin's eyes shone brightly as she studied the youth atop the stone pillar, suddenly coming to a realization. "It's not impossible. If Li Luo possesses triple resonances, then the energy transmitted from the Principal could borrow the resonances to condense the Triple Resonance Saintly Ring."
"Triple resonant palaces? What sort of joke is that? Li Luo is at the Fiend Palace Tier, so how could he have three resonant palaces?" some of the Violet Vibrance mentors rebuked.
"He had dual resonances already, so now that he has entered the Earth Fiend Stage, isn't it possible for him to open up yet another resonant palace? His dragon resonance energy doesn't seem too strong, but it possesses a solid foundation. It doesn't look like it was created with the assistance of external aid, so this is the most likely possibility... He has a third resonance, and it's a dragon resonant power," Vice Principal Su Xin faintly explained.
"Do you remember the Duke Art he chose at the Resonant Art Pagoda?"
"The Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner?"
"I originally thought it was a little strange. Why would he choose such a Duke Art? It requires one to possess dragon resonance energy to cultivate, and I thought he was using some sort of treasure that involved the dragon tribe's blood essence to cultivate it. It looks like I was wrong. He didn't need to borrow external aid to cultivate it, he actually had a dragon resonance!"
Vice Principal Su Xin sucked in a deep breath. "This also means that Li Luo is a triple resonance user!"
The rest of the Violet Vibrance mentors were silent. This revelation stunned them, and their expressions also demonstrated that they had suffered a profound shock.
A triple resonance user!
This was terrifyingly demonic talent!
The Li Luo of the past was a dual resonance user, and Duke experts were left sighing at how fortunate the brat was. On the other hand, possessing triple resonances was something they were truly envious of!
This was something they had sought for their whole lives!
"This is even rarer than a ninth-grade resonance." Cao Sheng pouted with a face full of envy. Since the establishment of the college, this was the first time they had seen a student with triple resonances.
It was definitely something that happened even less often than being born with a ninth-grade resonance.
"No wonder the Principal chose him. Perhaps Li Luo will be the Astral Sage College's second King," Vice Principal Su Xin softly said.
The rest of the Violet Vibrance mentors were left deep in thought. A King. This was an existence that even they worshiped! No student in the Astral Sage College's history had reached the King Stage.
Could Li Luo actually reach such a level of power?
"It looks like Gong Yuan is out of luck," Cao Sheng said, reveling in another's misfortune.
Although Pang Qianyuan had interfered in the coronation ceremony in his capacity as an individual, he was ultimately the Astral Sage College's Principal. Now that he had made a choice, even if the Astral Sage College did not take action, they would undoubtedly side with Li Luo.
……
"So Li Luo had actually opened up a third resonance. Truly amazing potential," Yu Hongxi commented.
As she continued to watch him, a look of appreciation and satisfaction surfaced in her eyes. "Not bad. His talent is not at all inferior to Li Taixuan’s."
Lu Qing'er similarly smiled with her enchantingly beautiful face. Juxtaposed against her snow-white skin, it was reminiscent of a snow lotus and possessed an absolute sense of purity and innocence. Yu Hongxi's praise for Li Luo brought her great happiness.
"Mother, the Regent should be hacked to... I mean, he shouldn't be able to block Li Luo's strike, right?" Lu Qing'er cautiously asked as she changed her words mid speech to prevent sounding too uncouth, opting to use gentler words instead.
"Don't underestimate Gong Yuan. He's plotted for many years, so he has naturally hidden many cards up his sleeves," Yu Hongxi faintly replied.
Lu Qing'er rolled her gorgeous, raven-black eyes as she hugged Yu Hongxi's forearm. "Mother, the Xia Kingdom is about to fall into unrest. I don't think this is good for the Golden Dragon Bank's business. Gong Yuan isn't some sort of benevolent fellow. If he gains power, that wouldn't be a good thing for us."
Yu Hongxi shot a glance at her daughter, not even bothering to reply. Was she really thinking for the good of the Golden Dragon Bank? Or was it just for Li Luo's sake.
Their family possessed vast wealth and power that far surpassed what House Luolan had. Did she really plan to give up all of it for him?
“One doesn't act before they are sure of succeeding. She is so far away from Li Luo's heart and is ready to give up the family property for him?”
Yu Hongxi didn't know whether to laugh or to be furious.
……
"Li Luo..." The First Princess similarly stared at Li Luo's figure, her heart palpitating. The space-rending blade light was incomparably brilliant in her eyes, reflecting all the hope she had.
Li Luo really knew how to give pleasant surprises.
When she first got close to him, her true aim was to rope Jiang Qing'e in. Li Luo and Qing'e had a complicated relationship, and thus she wanted to use him to curry favor with Jiang Qing'e.
Who would have expected that House Luolan’s Young Lord would be the harbinger of miracles that far surpassed her initial plans?
This could very well be the best investment she would ever make.
"Li Luo! Do your best!" The First Princess clenched her fists, and her phoenix-like eyes blazed with light as she focused on Li Luo. She looked like a fangirl that had been smitten by her idol, and all of her hopes and dreams now depended on Li Luo.
…..
Amongst the shocked gazes of the audience, the Regent, who was the target of the terrifying blade light, had an incredibly ugly expression. His eyelids seemed to be twitching anxiously as this strike was even more intimidating than the previous one. This was all because of the presence of the Triple Resonance Saintly Ring.
It contained the true power of triple resonances.
Although it was a crude imitation of what an actual King could display, Pang Qianyuan's power allowed Li Luo's single strike to carry an impending sense of death.
Still, he naturally did not want to die! He had plotted for countless years, and today was the day he could finally begin the execution of his plan.
"I've already activated the heart bell! Why have you not interfered with Pang Qianyuan's assistance?" The Regent frowned. Today was supposed to mark the reversal of his fortune, and he had even prepared countless countermeasures for every possible scenario, including Pang Qianyuan's personal appearance!
Of course, he wouldn't actually have to do much in that situation—he could only rely on the power behind him.
As his mind turned, the Regent did not hesitate to form a hand seal with both hands. Five massive, mountain-like Duke Bergfrieds appeared right behind him in his world space, bringing about an absolute sense of pressure.
At the same time, the five-story golden pagoda crown had appeared atop his head, releasing rays of golden light.
Peng!
The Regent's face was cold as he pressed down on the violet mark on the golden crown. Immediately after, the crown blazed with a magical flame and very quickly melted into layer after layer of golden light, manifesting an actual five story golden pagoda that enveloped his entire body.
Swish!
On the viewing platform, countless individuals sucked in a deep breath with a look of pain at this sight.
The Regent had sacrificed his precious violet-eye treasured artifact to block Li Luo's blow! A lavish sum of wealth had just been burned up!
At the same time, they could understand that the Regent had been backed into a corner.
……
While the cataclysmic confrontation broke out within the royal palace.
Within the Astral Sage College, by a clear lake.
Shen Jinxiao, who was sleepily fishing by the lake, opened his eyes. The light refracted off the lake’s surface twisted to form the shape of an individual.
This silhouette had dual pupils of gold and silver that were both extraordinarily strange and eye-catching.
He stared at the fishing Shen Jinxiao with a slight smile.
"Shen Jinxiao, have you completed your preparations?"
