Absolute Resonance

In Li Luo's claws, the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow had become a thousand feet long. The bowstring was hooked on by the tip of a claw, which fully drew the bow with utmost ease. The bow then made a crunching sound.

Formless energy waves dispersed in every direction, causing the world to rumble as terrifying energy condensed on the bowstring. After the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow had been bolstered by the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed, its grade had also risen to a high-grade Mythic Armament. Otherwise, drawing it all the way like this would have completely destroyed the weapon. Li Luo's gaze was focused squarely on Shui Baoping. He didn't plan to challenge her openly, instead using a long range offensive to deal with her.

That said, he required a meat shield to hold her in place, and Guo Jiufeng was perfect for this task. A look of amusement surfaced in his eyes. With a thought, the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow began to surge with emerald-green energy that was filled with vitality. An ancient tree that was as towering as a mountain manifested in the skies above.

The ancient emerald tree's sprawling branches and leaves blotted out the sun.

This sight once again took the crowd by surprise. Countless green lights condensed on the tree, taking the form of an emerald dragon that had coiled itself around the trunk. The emerald dragon gave off imposing might, but when compared to Li Luo, it seemed a lot weaker. The emerald dragon was the result of activating the lower Destiny-grade Duke Art, Dragon Rearing Art, which was contained with the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed.

Li Luo didn’t have to spend precious amounts of cultivation time and effort to learn it—it could be utilized directly since he was now the owner of the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed. When Li Luo felt the vigorous energy undulations coming from the emerald dragon, he nodded in approval. The creature was truly mysterious, and it could be used to attack or defend against enemies. However, Li Luo had other plans. With a thought, the ten-thousand-feet-long green dragon began to shrink until it was only a hundred feet long. It then snaked its body around the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow's fully drawn string.

From afar, it looked like the emerald dragon had turned into an arrow! Indeed, that was Li Luo's plan all along. With the dragon as the arrow, he would use the might of the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow to unleash a terrifying attack from a distance.

This arrow would be even more powerful than the strike that had taken down Yan Feng earlier.

He then tightened the bowstring and locked onto Shui Baoping's petite figure.

At that instant, Shui Baoping suddenly froze and her expression changed. She could sense lethal danger from that arrow.

"Don't let him unleash that attack!"

Shui Baoping immediately turned and shot into the distance in a beam of light. All of the six Duke Bergfrieds above her head began to glow with wondrous light, covering the skies and descending towards Li Luo.

Bang!

However, crimson flames suddenly rose into the skies. With the amplification of tempestuous gales, it transformed into an inferno tornado that immediately resisted the light.

Guo Jiufeng appeared before Shui Baoping.

"Vice Principal Shui Baoping, let me accompany you for a round of fun," he said with a laugh.

Shui Baoping's expression turned cold as she retorted sarcastically, "I'm afraid you might play me to death!"

Guo Jiufeng didn't bother speaking further and formed a seal with both hands. His six Duke Bergfrieds runes began to glow before materializing in the form of his Spirit Insignia! After which, the inferno tornado magnified in scale and began to devour everything. In the end, a crimson palm that blotted out the skies appeared.

On the palm were 9,999 Azure Wind pearls that constantly blew out massive winds that stoked the crimson flames, giving it the potential to turn everything in the world into ashes. Duke's Spirit Insignia: Inferno Gale Palm!

The crimson palm viciously smacked down towards Shui Baoping, causing the temperature around them to rise drastically.

When Shui Baoping saw Guo Jiufeng's frightening attack, her face turned even more chilly. The six Duke Bergfrieds above her similarly began to release incredible amounts of resonant power and her own runes began to materialize.

Duke's Spirit Insignia: Abyssal Kun! As Shui Baoping summoned up all her strength, a humongous black Kun a hundred thousand feet long manifested. It opened its mouth and swallowed worldly natural energy before it directly collided against the gigantic crimson palm.

Bang!

As the two forces struck each other, the resulting energy blast explosively dispersed across hundreds of thousands of feet away. However, it was clear that Shui Baoping had the upper hand. The black Kun continued to force its way forward and the crimson palm was sent retreating, cracks gradually appearing on it. ꞦΆƝ∅ᛒЁŞ

Guo Jiufeng's face had turned red and his entire body radiated intense heat. Anyone could see that he was doing his best to hold on.

Bang!

But right at that instant, a draconic roar echoed through the air. A moment later, a dazzling, emerald trail of light arced across the horizon like a thunderbolt filled with killing intent, mercilessly aimed at Shui Baoping.

Shui Baoping was already on guard as an azure flag flew out of her robes. With a wave, it transformed into a tidal wave, and that billowing curtain of water formed a defensive barrier.

This was the Azure Sea Banner, a low-grade Mythic Armament with resilient defensive abilities. When faced with a pincer attack, Shui Baoping's only choice was to temporarily fend off the attack with this barrier to buy time to critically injure Guo Jiufeng before turning to face Li Luo.

"You brat! Wait till I deal with Guo Jiufeng and then you'll see I handle you!" Shui Baoping cried with gritted teeth.

Bang!

However, just as she had this thought, the emerald dragon arrow pierced through the skies and violently slammed into the barrier. When it struck, the void fragmented from the sheer pressure.

Shui Baoping's expression changed as the energy and blood coursing through her body shook violently. Li Luo's arrow was much more powerful than she had expected. It was only now that she understood why Yan Feng had fallen at Li Luo's hands.

The bright side was that she had blocked it.

But before she was able to relish in her joy, she saw the violet-gold dragon in the distance draw his bow once again. The emerald dragon flew back to him, transforming into yet another arrow. Shui Baoping's heart sank upon seeing it.

Just how could this brat unleash such a mighty Duke Art so effortlessly and quickly?

Bang!

As she remained momentarily dazed, Li Luo didn't plan to give her any time to catch her breath. The Dragon Rearing Art of the Lesser Dragon Sacred Seed consumed very little of his resonant power, so he naturally felt at ease when utilizing it repeatedly. Of course, the disadvantage of not actually cultivating the art meant that its growth would also be limited.

When he released the bowstring again, the emerald light zipped through the void with a roar and very quickly struck the Azure Sea Banner once more. It was unable to resist a second hit, so it dimmed and transformed into a light that was sucked back into Shui Baoping's robes. The destroyed Azure Sea Banner had negated much of the emerald dragon arrow's power, and the remaining energy lanced towards Shui Baoping's head.

During that critical moment, Shui Baoping stretched her hand out and directly gripped the arrow's shaft. Unfortunately, its terrifying power wasn't easy to subdue—it instantly ripped her palm to shreds, causing blood to spill.

The sharp fangs and claws of the emerald dragon were forcefully halted half an inch away from Shui Baoping's head before dissipating into motes of light.

Even then, blocking the arrow had taken a great toll on Shui Baoping. Her body trembled and she spat out a mouth of fresh blood.

This sight caused the squads from the Azuresea Divine Continent to turn pale in horror. Shui Baoping was their guiding light, and no one had expected her to be injured in Li Luo and Guo Jiufeng's combined assault.

"Ah!" Shui Baoping's hair was now disheveled and it was obvious she was extremely furious. She shot out towards Li Luo, intending to deliver vengeance for that previous blow. However, Li Luo didn't plan to entangle himself with her in close combat. His tail swung and he dashed away into the distance. At the same time, he drew the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow for the third time, condensed another emerald dragon arrow, and shot right at her. Shui Baoping was forced to halt to deal with the attack, and Guo Jiufeng took the opportunity to retaliate.

This forced her into a miserable situation. In the end, the emerald dragon arrow struck her small frame and she was sent flying whilst spewing out blood. At the same time, a pillar of light descended, enveloping her body and sending her out of the minor world. This signified that Shui Baoping had been eliminated. The East Divine Continent's squads let out raucous howls of joy upon seeing her vanish.

Meanwhile, the Azuresea Divine Continent's squads had expressions full of fear.

In the skies above, Li Luo's transformation began to revert and he went back to human form. His face was pale and the resonant power within his body had clearly diminished.

As a second-grade Transcendent, having to unleash killing blows again and again had drained him. The bright side was that with Shui Baoping and Yan Feng's elimination, he had sealed their victory.

"VicePrincipal Guo Jiufeng, I'll leave it to you to clean things up," Li Luo said.

Guo Jiufeng looked at Li Luo with great surprise and his gaze flickered. He then respectfully cupped his fist and replied, "Mentor Li Luo, you should recuperate. I'll handle the rest."

There was newfound politeness in his words. The power Li Luo had just shown had caused even the strongest vice principal of the East Divine Continent to respect him.

Without Li Luo's help, he would have likely have been eliminated by now.

Li Luo glanced at Guo Jiufeng, who was now zooming towards another Domain Traversal Platform, and sighed in relief in his heart. The first battle had been won by the East Divine Continent.

Although he was still a distance from his goals, this was nonetheless a great start.
