Chapter 128: Dual Phases Revealed

Splash!

The stream flowed on, a scene that should have been peaceful and tranquil, but it had been utterly destroyed by the fierce battle between the two.

Li Luo glided across the water, streams of light-arrows continuously firing from the blue-silver great bow in his hand, keeping the pursuing Duze Duze Beixuan at bay.

However, as time dragged on, Li Luo began to sense something was off, because his opponent was far too quiet, doing nothing but passively defending the whole time.

This clearly defied common sense, unless the other was brewing an even more terrifying counterattack.

And just as this thought flashed through Li Luo's mind, Duze Duze Beixuan behind him suddenly let out a low roar, and in that instant, Li Luo sensed the latter's aura surging violently upward.

"Kun Descends!"

A low, muffled voice rang out in response.

Whoosh!

The light-arrow shot forth at blinding speed, but this time, what made Li Luo's eyes narrow was that the arrow had actually missed!

Duze Duze Beixuan's figure vanished from the spot as well.

Bang!

A piercing wind-splitting sound suddenly came from the side—a heavy halberd, like a raging dragon's roar, wrapped in terrifying force as it came howling in, viciously locked onto Li Luo's vital point.

Such a ferocious assault also startled Li Luo. He raised the great bow in his hands to block, the bow's spine formed by the blade colliding with the heavy halberd.

Clang!

This collision directly sent Li Luo's qi and blood churning, a stinging pain shooting through both arms, and his figure was sent flying backward.

"His strength, speed, and defense have all been amplified again?"

Li Luo landed on the riverbank, his expression shifting slightly. This time, Duze Duze Beixuan's overall ability had once again received a boost, making him extremely ferocious.

And while doubt flashed through his mind, a figure shot toward him at blinding speed, that velocity splitting the stream itself in two, briefly severing it.

Once again, a piercing spear-gleam stabbed forth like cold light.

Li Luo hurriedly met the attack, but after only a few clashes, he felt he could no longer bear it, and in the end his entire body was sent flying, crashing into a dense forest.

Duze Duze Beixuan's figure flashed into view, dragging his heavy halberd. At this moment, his aura was fierce, phase force boiling across the surface of his body, and every gesture he made radiated a savage, ferocious presence.

His gaze coldly fixed on the dense forest, he then strolled in, dragging the heavy halberd behind him.

"Li Luo, you've been putting on your flashy monkey show for half a day—it's about time to end, right? I've just been playing with you. Did you really think that you, at the Lower Heavy White Seed Realm, could fight against me at the Upper Heavy Flower Seed Realm?"

"My Affinity Rank is higher than yours, my phase force level is stronger than yours. What do you have to fight me with?"

In a flat tone, Duze Duze Beixuan walked into the dense forest, his eyes cold as a snake's as they fixed on Li Luo standing beneath a great tree. "Has the rat stopped running?"

The heavy halberd slowly rose, pointing at Li Luo, and the phase force coursing through Duze Duze Beixuan's entire body began to boil and fluctuate even more intensely at this moment.

"Then let's end this."

Li Luo rubbed his aching, numb arm and said with a smile to Duze Duze Beixuan: "You think strolling in here so slowly, mouthing all this nonsense, makes you look really cool, don't you?"

"But in my view, that's just plain stupid."

"Because during all this time, I've nearly carved your coffin for you already."

Duze Duze Beixuan said indifferently: "At a time like this, and you still want to put on an act?"

His foot stamped down violently, and with the heavy halberd in hand he shot forth like a bolt, the halberd's edge wrapped in boiling phase force, aimed straight at Li Luo, ready to end this battle.

And facing such a ferocious assault from Duze Duze Beixuan, Li Luo stood rooted in place, not moving a muscle.

The halberd's edge rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

Just as the halberd's edge was only a short foot or so from Li Luo's face, a sudden change occurred. The great tree behind Li Luo suddenly trembled, and a thick branch flashing with green light came whistling down like a green python, directly coiling around the shaft of the heavy halberd, making it impossible for the weapon to advance another inch.

"A wood-phase art?"

"Who's interfering in our battle?" The sudden turn of events startled Duze Duze Beixuan, and he immediately demanded sharply.

Li Luo smiled and said: "Other than us, is there anyone else here?"

Duze Duze Beixuan's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Li Luo, and mocked: "What do you mean? You want to tell me that this wood-phase art was activated by you? What nonsense are you spouting? You're clearly water-phase, you simply can't activate a wood-phase art!"

Li Luo chuckled softly and said: "Didn't you ask me earlier what I had to fight you with? Then now, let me show you something really good."

He pressed his palms together, and the next moment, the two phase palaces within his body began to tremble simultaneously. Two streams of phase force of different attributes roared out from within, finally rising slowly across the surface of Li Luo's body.

Blue phase force, like rippling water.

Emerald-green phase force, brimming with vibrant vitality.

The two attributes of phase force converged and churned across the surface of Li Luo's body, distinct from one another, yet showing no sign of mutual resistance.

Watching the two streams of phase force churning across Li Luo's body, Duze Duze Beixuan's pupils gradually dilated.

At the same time, Li Luo's faint voice drifted over, seeming both far and near.

"Water phase, I have it."

"Wood phase, I have it too."

"Sorry to disappoint, you didn't see wrong—I am that legendary... Dual Phase Palace!"

Crash!

When two streams of phase force of different attributes rose from Li Luo's body, not only was Duze Duze Beixuan stunned into a daze, even the Xinshengdian erupted with a boiling wave of shocked exclamations.

Many of the great personages couldn't help but rise to their feet, staring at the youth in the light screen.

A dual phase?!

Could it be that when Li Luo broke through to the Phase Master Realm, he stumbled upon that once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity and directly opened a second phase palace?!

How exceedingly rare was this?!

Although everyone present knew that when breaking through a realm, there was an extremely low probability of a second phase palace appearing within the body, that possibility was simply too low, and its rarity was in no way inferior to Jiang Jiang Qinge's Ninth-Rank Light Phase!

Yet now, they had witnessed a miracle with their very own eyes!

Setting aside the rank of Li Luo's second phase, the mere appearance of this second phase was enough to make him different from this point on.

Because he would possess an advantage that ordinary people found hard to come by—namely, early access to the power of dual phases, something that only those at the Marquis Realm could touch!

Although with his ability, this kind of mastery might only be the surface of dual-phase power, it would still bring him tremendous benefits.

Many of the great figures had complicated expressions, their hearts churning. In the past, when they learned that this son of Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan was mediocre, they might have felt some relief—after all, those two were far too dazzling, and the family already had Jiang Jiang Qinge with her ninth-grade Light Phase. Li Luo being ordinary would let people feel a bit more comfortable.

But the scene before their eyes now made them understand that they had celebrated too soon.

Li Luo indeed did not have a high-grade phase, but the moment this rare dual phase appeared, it was enough to make up for those gaps.

"Water Phase? Wood Phase?! He actually possesses a dual phase?" On the viewing platform, the originally smiling pretty face of Duze Duze Honglian had now stiffened little by little, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Impossible!"

Duze Duze Honglian was somewhat furious. Was this House Luolan Mansion really this blessed? Having already gotten a ninth-grade Light Phase like Jiang Jiang Qinge and still not satisfied, now another young mansion master with a dual-phase palace had appeared?!

"Wow, a dual-phase palace, that's too amazing!"

Yan Yan Lingqing also exclaimed at this moment, then could not help but reveal her delight, hugging Jiang Jiang Qinge beside her and saying, "Did you already know? That's why you were sitting so calmly like a fisherman on a comfortable perch!"

Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled lightly, a hint of pride in her voice as she said, "He carries the bloodline of Master and Mistress—how could he possibly be truly ordinary?"

On the highest viewing platform.

Vice President Suxin, who had been quietly watching the competition, finally showed a trace of surprise on her previously unruffled face.

"A dual-phase palace... truly rare." She said with a light laugh.

The Eldest Princess beside her also nodded, her eyes carrying some admiration as she said, "Congratulations, Vice President. It seems the Holy Mystic Star Academy is about to produce yet another rare genius."

Vice President Suxin smiled and said, "A dual-phase palace is indeed rare, but possessing such talent does not guarantee future achievement. In the end, it still depends on his own character and fortune."

"However... he can still be considered a promising talent. For such a favored child, the Holy Mystic Star Academy will also give him some attention and focus."

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess understood that the dual phase Li Luo had revealed had still stirred the Holy Mystic Star Academy's love for talent, and Vice President Suxin's words alone would be enough to spare Li Luo some unnecessary trouble and covetous eyes in the future.

Her narrow, almond-shaped phoenix eyes gazed at the youth in the light screen, his whole body surging with two kinds of phase power, his face appearing exceptionally handsome and dashing, her gaze flowing.

Although this House Luolan Mansion had lost two Marquis Realm powerhouses, the bloodline and disciples they left behind were gradually revealing their brilliance.

Given time, perhaps they would truly prop up the tottering House Luolan Mansion and make it bloom with its former dazzling radiance.
