Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1518: Shen Jinxiao Takes Action

"Apex Resonance Crystal Core? Upper ninth-grade light resonance?" Lu Ruyan felt as though she had been hit by a sledgehammer. How had Li Luo suddenly popped up with an upper ninth-grade light resonance?

The last thing she remembered was being sealed. The fact that she was able to move again likely suggested that something had happened to Lu Qing'er. However, what was most surprising was that the first thing she saw was none other than Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

At the same time, she could see Lu Qing'er gradually turning back to normal.

It was then that she realized that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had rushed over and forcefully pulled Lu Qing'er out of the Permafrost Sacred Seed state. Alas, Lu Qing'er now had two powerful allies by her side, which threw Lu Ruyan's expectations into disarray. She simply didn't have the confidence to wrestle control of the Frost Divinewater from the two.

"What happened to Diwu Mingxuan and Song Jing? Weren't they holding you two down?"

Lu Ruyan's expression was constantly shifting as an inexplicable thought surfaced in her heart. "Could it be that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e defeated those two? Is that why they were able to rush over?" If it was before, she would have scoffed at the thought. Li Luo was merely a third-grade Transcendent, and the gap between him and Song Jing was simply colossal. The latter was one of the Divine Sun Ancient College's top mentors, not some block of wood.

However, after seeing Li Luo's Apex Resonance Crystal Core, Lu Ruyan no longer dared to think that way.

The sheer power of an upper ninth-grade resonance was unquestionable. She had been sealed away by Lu Qing'er and her upper ninth-grade ice resonance, turning into a frozen sculpture. Although Lu Qing'er had taken advantage of the dense and pure ice energy all around them, the fact was that only she could have achieved this frightening feat.

If Li Luo had an upper ninth-grade light resonance and borrowed a similar terrain advantage, defeating Song Jing was not out of the question.

In the end, Lu Ruyan's eyes turned to the pool of Frost Divinewater with an unrequited look, then she turned to leave without a word.

Since she no longer had the opportunity to obtain it, she could only give up.

Meanwhile, Chi Li and the rest of his lackeys miserably followed.

Aunt Zhu and the other seventh-grade Duke were also unsealed. They glanced at the unharmed Lu Qing'er before turning their eyes towards Li Luo... Or perhaps more accurately, the Apex Resonance Crystal Core that resembled a vertical eye on his forehead.

It gave off a wondrous and esoteric charm, causing one to feel endless awe and respect for it.

Aunt Zhu then clasped her hands together to thank Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e and stepped aside. She couldn't help but to sigh internally. It was no wonder he had caught the young mistress' eye. Li Luo's potential was truly outstanding. If the Family Head were to hear of this, just how moved would he be?

Li Luo was a little surprised at Lu Ruyan's decision. She was an arrogant and haughty individual, so seeing her simply give up was unexpected to him. Perhaps the shock of witnessing an upper ninth-grade light resonance had caused her to reconsider her decision.

He laughed in his heart as the Apex Resonance Crystal Core began to swiftly dissipate. A few moments later, it vanished.

After which, he felt a looming sense of weakness within his body. He had transformed his resonances into an upper ninth-grade light resonance twice in a short span of time. Even with the aid of the Jade Dragon Pill, his blood essence had been severely spent.

Jiang Qing'e reached over to support him and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Lu Qing'er, on the other hand, had taken half a step forward before stopping herself. She quietly observed Li Luo, her icy lake-like eyes flowing with diminished emotion. Although the upper ninth-grade light resonant power had purified some of the Permafrost Sacred Seed's effects, it had still affected her.

"Thank you," she whispered.

After which, she turned, carefully walking towards the pool filled with Frost Divinewater. When she stepped into it, countless strands of dark blue ice energy poured into her body like a tide.

Before Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's eyes, the ends of Lu Qing'er's long hair turned a tinge of blue. Extremely overbearing ice energy emanated from her, forcing the duo back and leaving the icy altar.

Li Luo stood outside the altar with a complicated expression. In the end, he didn't say anything and merely stood there quietly.

......

Meanwhile, on another fallen star.

Dilapidated buildings were strewn across the area.

In the central region was a ruined tall tower and on the top, Lin Ju strolled in with a self-satisfied smile. After all, a stick of Mirror Knight Incense was right before him.

"It didn't take much effort at all." He grinned. Although he had experienced countless obstructions, there was no one powerful enough to threaten him nearby. After all, his strongest opponents were all distracted elsewhere.

Thus, he had smoothly arrived at this point.

"Igniting the stick of Mirror Knight Incense means that I will be given the title of Celestial Mirror Knight. In the future, I can be the principal of any sage college and perhaps even an elder of the Academic Federation." Thinking of this caused his smile to deepen. He then stretched his hand out, attempting to light the incense.

However, he sensed movement behind him at this point. Turning around, he realized that someone had approached him without him noticing it.

He was a little taken aback. As he took a closer look at the individual, he identified the person and said with a smirk, "Friend, might you be the Enlightened Sage College's Vice Principal Guo Jiufeng? I'm sorry, this stick of Mirror Knight Incense is mine. I beseech you to go elsewhere and find another opportunity."

Guo Jiufeng smiled sweetly in response and shook his head. "I want that stick of incense."

Lin Ju paused. He didn't laugh at those ludicrous words but instead carefully sized him up. This was a sixth-grade Duke and yet he dared to stand before him, an upper eighth-grade, and spout these brazen words? No one else would dare to do this in his shoes.

Thus, he smelled a rat. Lin Ju's resonant power poured out of his body without reservation and eight majestic Duke Bergfrieds soared into the air. He icily stared at Guo Jiufeng before indifferently replying, "Although I don't know what is going on, you give me an uncomfortable sensation... So I'll cripple you right now!"

Bang!

Lin Ju pointed outwards with his finger, and his Duke Bergfrieds poured out a torrent of resonant power, transforming into a Greenwood Palm Print. Seemingly endless amounts of brown soil were contained within the palm print itself, giving rise to incredible amounts of vitality.

He had gone all-out with nothing left in the tank. He wouldn't be merciful, even if his opponent was just a sixth-grade Duke. After all, how could a mediocre individual become the strongest mentor within the Heavenly Origin Ancient College?

The Greenwood Palm Print descended with boundless amounts of force. Meanwhile, Guo Jiufeng grinned and stretched out a finger. A strange, golden light appeared in the depths of his eyes and was projected outwards, lightly sweeping across the air.

A ray of golden light slashed downwards in response, slicing the palm print into two and then swiftly engulfing the remnant parts, devouring them completely.

This immediately caused alarm bells to ring in Lin Ju's mind, and his expression turned into one of fear.

He then glared at Guo Jiufeng as he shouted, "You're not Guo Jiufeng! Who are you? You actually dare to sneak into the Academic Federation's Celestial Mirror Pagoda?"

However, he felt a piercing pain through his chest before he even finished speaking. He lowered his head to take a look at the source of the pain, and his face turned pale. There was a bloody hole in his chest and fresh blood was gushing out of it. An empty void was left in the place where his heart was supposed to be. Lin Ju's expression distorted and he turned back towards Guo Jiufeng. To his shock, there was a beating heart in the other part's bloody, outstretched hand.

Guo Jiufeng grinned like the cat who got the cheese before wolfing down the heart before Lin Ju's eyes. Fresh blood splashed across his face and dripped off his teeth, giving one the impression that he was a devil who had just crawled out of hell.

"It doesn't taste bad at all. As expected of a peak expert reared by an Ancient College." Guo Jiufeng chortled. At the same time, Lin Ju, in his last moments of clarity, saw Guo Jiufeng's visage gradually change.

In the end, completely foreign features had replaced them.

He didn't recognize him, but Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e definitely would...

It was none other than Shen Jinxiao!

A plaque appeared in Lin Ju's hand, which he then shattered forcefully.

"No matter who you are, once I transmit news of this to Principal Wang Xuanjin, you'll definitely die!" Lin Ju painfully shouted, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

Shen Jinxiao carefully wiped away the traces of blood on the corners of his lips and then cheerily stretched a hand out towards Lin Ju. After which, vast amounts of wood resonant power swept out of his palm, turning into a Greenwood Palm Print that slammed into Lin Ju. Bang!

Lin Ju was sent flying, half his body crushed into a bloody paste.

ThenShen Jinxiao pointed into the sky and scoffed. "It seems you've failed to send out your message."

When Lin Ju raised his head, he saw a barrier made of black light above the ruined tower. A stream of light was battering away at it, attempting to escape, but it was to no avail. That was the S.O.S. he had sent out.

It had actually been blocked by the individual before him?

Lin Ju's eyes were filled with complete disbelief. For what reason had this person infiltrated the Celestial Mirror Pagoda?
