Absolute Resonance-Novel2

Chapter 0742: Dragon Bell

Atop the cliff, many eyes were focused upon the young man standing beside the mottled, ancient Dragon Bell.

Some rays of sunlight had pierced through the clouds, blanketing Li Luo in warmth. The youth's grayish-white hair reflected the sun, and his face that had inherited the best features from his father was the very picture of a handsome young man in the peak of his youth.

Li Fengyi greatly admired her little brother's appearance and hence commented to Li Jingtao. "If ringing the Dragon Bell did not require talent but was dependent on one's looks, our Little Brother wouldn't even have to lift a pinky. Merely standing by the bell would cause it to ring by itself."

Li Jingtao bitterly smiled as he said with all earnestness, "Fengyi... you should not be fixated on looks. That's simply too shallow. What seems precious might very well be ruined inside if all you focus upon is one's external facade. Looks cannot compare to a higher grade resonance."

Li Fengyi glared at him before slowly replying, "Li Jingtao, you simply have never experienced what it's like to have good looks. Since you can't attain it, then you shouldn't speculate on how useful another's appearance might be. That's quite shallow of you."

"Please! I'm not that ugly," Li Jingtao protested.

"Depends on who you're comparing yourself to," Li Fengyi casually replied.

Li Jingtao felt like there was no more point in continuing this conversation, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Do you think Little Brother will succeed?"

Li Fengyi's willow leaf-like eyebrows turned into a frown and she shook her head. "I don't know... If he really only possesses a sixth-grade dragon resonance, then I'm afraid not.

"However, I don’t think he’s an idiot. The moment I met him, I knew that he was intelligent," Li Jintao stated.

"Are you saying he's hidden his strength?" Li Fengyi asked in surprise.

"Well, he said he has a sixth-grade resonance, and I don't think he's lying. There's not much point in doing so." Li Jingtao shook his head, indicating his doubts.

"We just have to look and see." As the two younger generation youths conversed, Li Qingpeng grabbed hold of Li Jinpan and asked with a hint of concern, "Have any sixth-grade resonances been capable of ringing the Dragon Bell in the past hundred years?"

Li Jinpan shook his head and sneered. "What are you talking about? How could someone with a sixth-grade resonance even be eligible to do so?"

Although the rules dictated that anyone in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li could attempt to ring the bell, if a sixth-grade clan member wished to take on this challenge, they would have to convince the clan elders. If someone like this so much as informed just their superiors, they might very well have the idea beaten back into them.

It would simply be a waste of everyone's time.

Li Qingpeng sighed helplessly as he shot a quick glance at Li Jingzhe, whose hands were folded behind his back. The old man seemed very calm and his presence soothed his anxious heart. He knew how the old man felt towards his Third Brother, and Li Luo was his brother's son. Naturally, Li Jingzhe's affection would extend to Taixuan's offspring as well, and he clearly had already demonstrated his love for Li Luo. Since the old man was the one who had added fuel to the fire, there was no need for him to worry excessively.

With that in mind, he finally managed to reassure himself.

Perhaps his brother's son had not revealed his talent as of yet.

Meanwhile, Li Luo was standing before the massive bell, his hand tightly clutching the stone hammer as he focused upon the ancient dragon engravings on the bell's surface. He could distinctly feel that just revealing dual resonance power was sufficient to ring the bell. However, there was no need to hold back.

Since he was going to show off, it was time to go all out.

With that thought in mind, he roused all three resonant palaces within him, and a deluge of resonant power surged forth, circulating around his body.

Two thousand strands of abstruse fiend light shot out from the waterlight resonant palace and entered the three resonant powers.

With their support, his resonant power became much more dense and forceful.

Li Luo did not hesitate to turn the three streams of resonant power into three massive pythons. They entangled themselves into one and then entered the stone hammer in his hand.

At the same time, a gorgeous bloom of light spread from the originally dull, gray, stone hammer.

The moment the resonant power was revealed, the gazes of everyone present changed and looks of surprise surfaced.

Li Luo, on the other hand, continued undeterred, raising the stone hammer before smashing downwards with all his strength.

The sheer force of the hammer shattered the air and created a sonic boom.

A breath later, it struck the mottled bell squarely before everyone's attentive looks.

At this moment, even the atmosphere seemed to have frozen over.

The surrounding Dukes could see three different types of resonant power flow out upon collision.

The engraving of the dragon upon the bell seemed to have come alive, directly blooming with a faint light as it began to swim across the bell's surface.

At that very moment, the dragon's mouth opened.

Dong!

The thunderous sound of a bell ringing resounded throughout Dragon's Fang Mountain. The sound was loud and clear, as if it could penetrate any and all obstacles. Additionally, the sound of a dragon's roar could faintly be heard mixed into that ring.

The melodious ringing of the ancient bell very quickly resounded throughout the entirety of the mountain and even continued to disperse throughout the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range like the blowing wind. This caused countless individuals from the area to raise their heads and look inquisitively in the direction of Dragon's Fang Mountain.

"This ringing... it's the Dragon Bell!"

"Did someone manage to ring it?"

"Who is it?" action

Endless shocked voices turned into a furor throughout the area.

Just as everyone got excited, the elders of the Dragon's Fang Lineage had fallen silent. Their eyes were like saucers as looks of awe surfaced on their faces.

Li Luo had actually managed to ring the Dragon Bell!

Of course, the truly mind-boggling thing was that Li Luo was no longer able to hide his resonant power when the bell rang out, so three different kinds of resonant power had spilled forth.

Three resonant powers with completely different properties.

Everyone was clearly able to discern the difference.

The stream of shimmering, azure light that flowed fluidly and unbroken should have come from a water resonance.

The stream of green light that was filled with vigorous vitality was from a wood resonance.

The last one that had manifested a dragon's illusion was the most easily recognized as it was a common resonance in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, a dragon resonance.

Three different sorts of resonant powers with the water resonance being the strongest, followed by the wood and then the dragon resonances!

Was this the triple resonances possessed by a King?

No!

The elders quickly regained their composure. It was simply three different resonant powers and not the fusion of triple resonances that Kings possessed.

What in the world was this?

Their thoughts churned before the realization hit them.

This was a triple resonance user!

Li Luo was born with triple resonances!

A triple resonance user was a genius that was rarely seen on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. It was no less outstanding even when compared to a ninth-grade resonance.

This sort of talent should not have any difficulty ringing the Dragon Bell.

On the side, Li Jingtao and Li Fengyi were staring dumbfounded at the three resonant powers circulating above Li Luo's head. They glanced at each other before realizing how naive they were. Did they truly believe that their Little Brother would dare to do such a thing without anything backing him up?

Indeed, Li Luo had not lied. His dragon resonance was only at the sixth-grade.

However, he didn't mention anything about his two other resonances!

As the two were left reeling from the shock, Li Qingpeng started to clap. He looked elated and laughed heartily. "Good boy. You really are Third Brother's son!"

It was no wonder Li Luo looked unworried. He had the substance to back his claims.

If he had failed to ring the bell with such talent, then the bell had to be broken in some way!

On the other side, Zhao Xuanming was similarly lost in a daze.

He then felt Li Jingzhe's gaze upon him, and the usually stern Lineage Chief began to grin.

"Good enough? Can we make an exception for my family's little hidden dragon now?"
