Chapter 0930: Talents Across the Continent
The news of Ox Biaobiao becoming the sixth Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall soon spread across the land, causing much discussion within the Dragon's Fang Lineage. After all, the position of Hall Master was one of the highest possible within the lineage. It held unquestionable and significant authority.
Besides, anyone could tell that the Lineage Chief had approved of this even though Li Luo was the one who had nominated him. Strictly speaking, Ox Biaobiao's qualifications were a little lacking in comparison to the others.
Fortunately, he was a seventh-grade Duke.
The minimum requirement to be a Hall Master in the Dragon's Fang Lineage was to be a fifth-grade Duke. As a seventh-grade Duke, there would be no complaints regardless of which hall Ox Biaobiao ended up in.
Coincidentally, it was an especially apt moment for the Green Nether Hall. Their Main Hall Master had been missing for some time, and the second Hall Master, Zhong Yushi, had been the pseudo leader all this while. He was just a sixth-grade Duke that had yet to break into the seventh-grade. As such, the introduction of Ox Biaobiao, with his seventh-grade Duke strength, was a huge blow to the influence held by Zhong Yushi.
From now on, Zhong Yushi could no longer have his way.
...
After Ox Biaobiao became a Hall Master, Li Luo's days in the hall became much more peaceful. The opening of the Spiritual Resonance Cave was only a month away, and he had to make use of every precious minute to improve himself.
As a result, he had spent his efforts mainly on the Fiendish Devil Cave.
Now that he was the Dragon's Head of the Twenty Banners, the ranking of the Green Nether Banner seemed a bit inappropriate. He had planned to push the banner up the rankings.
Naturally, his progress was extraordinary.
His strength had improved significantly since the Battle of the Dragon's Head. Moreover, the members of the Green Nether Banner had received a huge amount of resources as part of the rewards. As such, the strength of the Green Nether Banner skyrocketed during this period.
With such an astonishing improvement, there was no way to stop the Green Nether Banner's progress.
In less than ten days, the Green Nether Banner overtook the rank two Holy Scale Banner, aiming for the rank one Gold Blood Banner next. Of course, Li Qingfeng could sense the shocking progress from the Green Nether Banner. In an attempt to shake them off, he began pushing layers in the Fiendish Devil Cave as well. However, it was ultimately a fruitless attempt. As the days ticked by, the Green Nether Banner climbed steadily under numerous gazes, reaching the same spot as the Gold Blood Banner.
Currently, the two banners were tied for first place.
During the same period, Li Luo's strength had improved by leaps and bounds too. His Fiend Dipper Energy had increased from four hundred feet to six hundred and fifty feet, a truly crazy pace of progress.
During these two weeks, the news of the Spiritual Resonance Cave had begun spreading in the Dragon's Fang Lineage too. In fact, it was not just the Dragon's Fang Lineage—the news had spread all across the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
Although the focus this time was mainly on those at the Heavenly Resonance Tier and below, the various forces within the continent were all paying attention to it. They were paying very close attention to see which young talents would perform spectacularly during this event.
It would be a grand event for the younger generation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
Talents from all over the continent would showcase their strength in an attempt to make a name for themselves.
In the past, those who had risen up amongst the crowds during the Spiritual Resonance Cave had entered the Empyrean Chronicle of the Golden Dragon Bank. That made them the focus of their generation, admired by all.
Just this point alone was enough to keep the youths' blood boiling.
In addition to that, the various forces were also treating this as a kind of battle between them. As the younger generation fought it out, it was also a way for them to demonstrate the foundation of their powers. This was another way for them to build a reputation for themselves and suppress others.
As such, the Spiritual Resonance Cave was an event that held great importance within the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent no matter how one looked at it.
"These are all of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's young geniuses compiled by the Golden Dragon Bank. They will be your main competitors in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Have a look at their information," Li Jingzhe said as he handed a scroll over to Li Luo.
Li Luo was finally able to eke some time out to visit the Respected Elder in the bamboo forest deep within Dragon's Fang Mountain.
When Li Luo heard his words, he took the scroll and studied it curiously. The first person on the list was already a familiar one.
Qin Yi.
As the strongest person in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing, she was naturally at the top of the list. Furthermore, the scroll had provided more details regarding her.
Qin Yi, lower ninth-grade water resonance. Two-pearl tier. Unlike Li Qingfeng, who had been dragged down by Li Luo, Qin Yi was the indisputable number one in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. It was said that she had achieved complete and perfect victories in the battles amongst her bloodline recently. Without a doubt, she was the beloved goddess amongst all the talents in this generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing.
"Two-pearl tier... naturally a benefit of the ninth-grade resonance." Li Luo sighed. Although Li Qingfeng was able to obtain the strength of two Heavenly Pearls during the Battle of the Dragon's Head, he had borrowed that power by using the Dragon's Blood Lineage’s secret art to create a blood pearl. This would inevitably be inferior to someone who earned their pearl through cultivation.
With that, Li Luo continued to read down the list.
The second person came from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.
Zhao Shenjiang, the Division Head of the Dragon's Division of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. Lower ninth-grade strength resonance, two-pearl tier. "Zhao Shenjiang, lower ninth-grade strength resonance?"
Li Luo narrowed his eyes. This was a really rare resonance. The so-called strength resonance referred to those born with extraordinary physical bodies.
"Zhao Shenjiang is pretty extraordinary. It's said that the elders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao hold high hopes for him," Li Jingzhe commented with a laugh. He turned his eyes towards Li Luo and asked, "Previously, you met a young lad from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao too. Zhao Jingyu, was it?"
Hearing this, Li Luo recalled the unlucky guy he had met at the Dark Domain in the Western Region. He replied with a smile, "He's a good guy. If not for him, things would have gotten dicey for me in the Dark Domain."
In fact, Zhao Jingyu had not only given him five free dragon fangs, he had also helped Li Luo to fend off the attack of a True Devil Other. He was definitely worthy of being called a great and benevolent guy.
"Zhao Shenjiang is on pretty close terms to Zhao Jingyu. As such, he's already declared that he hopes he will not meet you in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Otherwise, he'll beat you to death," Li Jingzhe said.
"Already coming for me before it even begins?" Li Luo replied helplessly.
"The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has always had an acrimonious relationship with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. We have fought with each other multiple times over the years, and many Dukes from both sides have died. If you really meet them in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, there's no need to hold back. Grab the chance and deal with them," Li Jingzhe told him calmly. Li Luo nodded as he continued reading the scroll.
His name had appeared in the list as well.
From the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, Banner Leader of the Green Nether Banner, Li Luo. Triple resonances, Fiend Finisher, defeated Li Qingfeng in the Battle of the Dragon's Head as well as an energy replica of Li Taixuan.
Although the Fiend Finisher Tier was a far cry from the two-pearl tier, his battle record was astonishing.
Li Luo pouted and said, "The Golden Dragon Bank truly seems to know everything."
When he brought up the Golden Dragon Bank, he was reminded of Lu Qing'er. The thought of how she was doing these days surfaced in his mind. "The foundation of the Golden Dragon Bank far exceeds your imagination. If you really want to compare, even the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing, the bloodline with the longest history, pales in comparison to them. It's just that they believe harmony breeds wealth, so the various forces give them some face as well," Li Jingzhe explained.
Hearing this, Li Luo nodded.
As he continued down the scroll, he saw a talent from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu below him.
Zhu Dayu, pseudo ninth-grade gluttony resonance. One-pearl tier. It seemed like this person was about the same level as Li Qingfeng. As Li Luo continued down the list, he passed by numerous names before another caught his attention.
Jiang Wanyu, from the Three Star Hall of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. Eighth-grade fire and wind dual resonances. Two-pearl tier.
