Chapter 1125: Crossing The Swamp

Chapter 1125: Crossing The Swamp

"Light resonant energy?!" Everyone was surprised as they looked at the light resonant energy gathered on Li Luo's fingertips.

Even Yue Zhiyu from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College was astonished to see this. Who would have expected Li Luo to possess a light resonance too?

According to her intel, Li Luo was a triple resonance user with water, wood, and dragon resonances. How had a light resonance appeared out of nowhere?

"Li Luo, h-how many resonances do you possess?!" Lu Ming was the first to exclaim in surprise. Back in the Holy Grail Meet, Li Luo was just a dual resonance user like her. In a year's time, he had suddenly become a triple resonance user. And now he had a light resonance too?!

Was obtaining new resonances that easy?

It was shocking enough that he had triple resonances. What kind of monster had four resonances? Moreover, Li Luo had not even reached the Duke Stage!

Feng Lingyuan's eyes twitched a little as she looked at the light resonant energy on Li Luo's fingertips. During the battles she had watched, she had faintly noticed something different about Li Luo's resonant power. It appeared pretty complex, as if there was something more than just the triple resonances that he had shown.

However, Li Luo had not specifically revealed these strengths in the past. It was shocking enough that he had triple resonances, so most people did not think about him having even more resonances.

Nonetheless, it was clear from the light resonant energy he had summoned. The divine power was slightly weaker, as if it paled in comparison to the others' light resonant power.

"Your light resonance is... a secondary resonance?" Feng Lingyuan asked in surprise.

Li Luo did not hide it from her. He nodded and explained with a smile, "Great perception, Senior Lingyuan. My light resonance is just a secondary resonance. We'll have to make do with this for now."

The others heaved sighs of relief when they heard this. So, it was just a secondary resonance. A secondary resonance could be gained using rare and precious treasures. Although such treasures were fought over by the various powers, it was not totally impossible, considering Li Luo's background.

Nonetheless, they knew that a secondary resonance was still considered yet another type of resonance. It was not as shocking as having a fourth resonance, but it was sufficient to provide him with greater flexibility and options to use in battle.

Besides, Li Luo was already a triple resonance user. With the addition of a secondary resonance... It was no wonder he was able to defeat opponents at higher levels than himself. The foundation of his resonant power was far superior than that of any ordinary fighter on his level.

Everyone looked at Li Luo with complex expressions. Triple resonances with a secondary resonance. This was so rare that it was probably was not at all inferior to a ninth-grade resonance. The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College students that were originally jealous of Li Luo, thinking that he had gotten Jiang Qing'e's affection because of his family background, could no longer ignore his exceptional talent when slapped directly in the face with it.

Wei Chonglou's eyes had also paused around the light resonant energy on Li Luo's fingertips. A dark light flashed past the depths of his eyes, but his face did not reveal any emotions. He simply said, "Since Li Luo also has a light resonance, I believe your side has enough to cross the swamp."

Li Luo could not help but think about Jiang Qing'e at this moment. If she were around, her dual light resonances would surely be so bright that she could protect everyone with her shine alone. The divine power from the light resonance indeed held a great advantage against Others.

"Follow me closely," Li Luo told Lu Ming, Jing Taixu, and Sun Dasheng.

This was an extremely dangerous place for Three Star Hall students from sage colleges like them. They did not have the strength to fend for themselves, yet they were too precious for the team to abandon. If they encountered a fierce battle, their support as energy batteries could be the deciding factor between victory and defeat.

The three of them understood the situation as well, so they nodded solemnly. After seeing the mission from the ancient college, it seemed like their previous missions into the Umbra Cave was not at all worth mentioning.

They could not help but feel like the distance between themselves and Li Luo was growing bigger and bigger. Although they were all of the same age, Li Luo did not need anyone to protect him here. In fact, he was even able to protect others.

While their hearts were filled with complex feelings, everyone had stepped onto the pitch black water. Strange whispers echoed in the thick mist, trying to incite fear into their hearts.

"Let's go!"

Along with the call from Feng Lingyuan, the teams moved forward. The divine glow from the four lanterns shielded them and tore the mist apart. Everyone gradually made their way deeper into the black swamp.

Countless white shadows rushed out of the way under the black water. A pair of strange eyes watched intently as the people made their way across.

At this moment, silhouettes that were carrying coffins appeared on the other side of the black swamp. A crimson flash surfaced in their eyes as they stared at the crowd making their way across.

A figure who carried a blood-red coffin laughed out viciously. "It seems we can make use of this swamp and give our precious ones some appetizers to feast upon."

When he finished speaking, the person walked towards the swamp and slowly sank into it.

Countless Others wriggled around him as his body submerged into the swamp. At this point, a strange shriek came from the blood coffin on his back. The cover rattled, and a blood-red substance extended out of the cracks.

When the Others heard this, they scattered away in a hurry.

The one with the blood coffin led the ones with black coffins deeper into the black swamp.

The direction that they were heading towards was exactly where the teams from the two colleges were.
