Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0762: Banner Members' Core

"Oh, what a grand scene."

Back at the Green Nether drill grounds, Li Luo finally understood what Zhao Yanzhi meant when she said his name would be well known throughout the domain once he cleared the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath trial. With such a flashy display, how could anyone not notice?

"Well? I did not let you down, did I?"

Li Luo joked about it as he turned back towards Zhao Yanzhi and friends. He had seen enough of the overwhelming announcements for now.

The trio looked at him in bewilderment.

Although Li Luo had managed to injure Mu Bi, who boasted the strongest defense amongst them, they had thought that he had only succeeded by catching Mu Bi off guard. None of them believed that Li Luo, a Lesser Fiend Palace cultivator, would have stood a chance if the match had dragged on.

In the end, Li Luo had proven his worth with his grand display of his trump card, the Duke Art.

Yet none of them had expected Li Luo to become the first one in the Green Nether Banner to clear the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath trial. More surprisingly, he had done it on the very day he joined.

This was not something that could be accomplished merely with good luck.

Amongst the four Banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage, Deng Fengxian, leader of the Gold Light Banner, was the only one to date that had succeeded in learning the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

Now they had another one, Li Luo, leader of the Green Nether Banner’s fifth division.

As they faced each other, Li Luo's face was reflected in the bright and beautiful eyes of Zhao Yanzhi. Although he was still a mess after the previous battle, she could already feel that the son of the Hall Master was emitting a radiant aura of brilliance of his own. Perhaps... tagging along with him was a fateful encounter all along. Mu Bi, Li Shi, and her had all come from humble beginnings, working hard to achieve what they had today. In the process, they had seen the dark and ugly side of society, especially in Zhao Yanzhi's case, where some of the elders in the Dragon's Fang Lineage had gone to the extent of coveting her body. Despite their forays, she had often shrugged them off with a forced smile.

As a result, she could clearly see the difference between Li Luo and them. Compared with those disgusting individuals, Li Luo was not only young and good-looking, he also came from a good background in the Dragon's Fang Lineage and could be considered an extraordinary disciple with huge potential.

Most importantly, he did not lust after her body.

Although she did not know if he was pretending or not at this point, a choice had to be made.

"Congratulations, Sub Leader. The Twenty Banners of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages must have all heard of your great name by now," Zhao Yanzhi congratulated in a gentle tone as she gave a charming smile that emphasized her jade-like cheeks.

"Congratulations, Sub Leader," Mu Bi and Li Shi repeated.

From their tone and words, it was clear that Li Luo had earned their respect.

Similarly, the fifth division banner members that had gathered to watch the commotion had changed their tone now and exclaimed in excitement, "Congratulations, Sub Leader!"

Evidently, the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art held great significance among the Twenty Banners, and clearing the trial had placed Li Luo under a different light.

There was no doubt that the banner would be more united under the leadership of a Sub Leader who had learned the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art, and this would bring out the potential of the banner better.

Why was the Gold Light Banner the strongest among the Dragon's Fang Lineage? It was not solely due to Deng Fengxian's strength. Another reason was his mastery of the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

As such, even though Li Luo's resonant power was weaker now, the fifth division's combat power was bound to strengthen now that their leader had acquired the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath.

Just based on this alone, Li Luo had earned the respect and support from all of the fifth division banner members.

The banner members from the other four divisions watched in envy.

Everyone was aware of how greatly a banner's strength would increase with a banner leader that could use the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

Zhong Ling watched the scene without much expression, but he was clearly suppressing his irritation and emotions underneath his calm face. It had barely been a day since Li Luo joined the Green Nether...

Previously, he had felt that Li Luo was not worth any mention as he came from an outer divine continent and was just a puny Lesser Fiend Palace cultivator. The only thing he had going for him was a better social status. What threat could he possibly pose?

But now, he no longer thought that way.

Li Luo had firmly entrenched himself within the fifth division. There used to be many rebellious people in the fifth division, but they had all bowed in obedience before a leader with the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art.

One could only imagine how much more the fifth division's status and prestige would increase in the coming days.

Without a doubt, this would threaten his chances to be selected as the Green Nether Banner Leader in three months.

Zhong Ling's eyes changed, and finally, he sniffed coldly and walked away.

So what if he had the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art? Being just a Lesser Fiend Palace cultivator, Li Luo's ability to achieve unity would still be limited.

Even if he managed to catch up to Zhong Ling in the future, Zhong Ling would already be the Green Nether Banner Leader then. No matter how strong Li Luo would be, he would remain under his command.

"Let's go."

Li Luo did not hang around for long. He turned around and left the back mountains, heading back to the fifth division area.

Zhao Yanzhi and friends followed closely behind, accompanied by the rest of the fifth division banner members. Such a grand sight attracted even more attention in the Green Nether drill grounds.

Some of the banner members had been training and were unaware of the news yet. However, they started checking things out after they saw the fifth division leaving together, and soon enough, the commotion and chatter continued to grow.

The Green Nether drill grounds became lively as everyone started talking about it.

After all, this meant that the Green Nether Banner was now the only one apart from Gold Light Banner that had the Nine Revolutions Fiend Arts.

This was definitely worth celebrating. f𝘳𝒆ℯ𝑤𝚎𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷el. c𝗼m

When Li Luo arrived at the fifth division’s area, he could see a bustling crowd clad in dark clothes awaiting his return.

These were the other members of the fifth division.

"Mighty Sub Leader!"

The crowd cheered excitedly as they looked upon Li Luo with respect and admiration.

Li Luo recalled that they were nowhere near as excited when he unexpectedly won against Mu Bi previously. Evidently, the significance of obtaining the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art far surpassed his imagination here.

He knew that from this moment on, he was truly considered the fifth division’s leader.

The fifteen hundred banner members in front of him would serve as his foundation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

Finally, he smiled happily and accepted their warm welcome.

After a round of celebration with the banner members, Li Luo was tired and returned to his Sub Leader quarters. He sat cross-legged on the training platform and got ready to discover the Nine Revolutions Arts he had learned from the remaining two dragon scales.

As he calmed himself down, the information slowly flowed into his mind.

Before long, he finished learning the two new secret arts.

Nine Revolutions Art, Lightning Twister Plantain Fan.

Nine Revolutions Art, Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment.
