Chapter 140: The First Lesson

Instructor Xi Chan closed her eyes to carefully sense the interior of Li Luo's body, while the latter stared intently at her cheeks, which were obscured by a black veil.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Instructor Xi Chan let out a soft sound of surprise.

Li Luo's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately heard Instructor Xi Chan say: "You have a Water resonance and a Wood resonance, right? The Water resonance feels like it's around the sixth grade, but this level of purity is somewhat strange; it's practically comparable to a high seventh-grade Water resonance..."

"The Wood resonance is much weaker, only fourth grade, but it also has an inexplicable sense of purity."

Instructor Xi Chan looked at Li Luo and asked with some confusion: "Have you taken any special heavenly treasures? The quality of your resonance power is quite high."

"Perhaps," Li Luo replied vaguely, scratching his head.

Although Instructor Xi Chan was a bit puzzled, she did not pay too much attention to it. Li Luo was, after all, the Young Master of House Luolan, and both his parents were powerful Marquis-realm experts; it was not entirely unexpected that they would have left him some heavenly treasures to enhance the purity of his resonance power.

"Li Luo, although the grade of your second resonance isn't very high, the fact that you possess dual resonances is your greatest advantage, because this kind of power, normally speaking, is something one only begins to touch upon when reaching the Marquis realm."

"Although it is impossible for you to truly master the complete power of dual resonances right now, even just a glimpse of it is enough for you to enjoy a unique advantage before reaching the Marquis realm."

Instructor Xi Chan said: "Circulate your two types of resonance power."

Hearing this, Li Luo moved his mind, and the power of his Water and Wood resonances rose to the surface of his body; the blue and emerald green colors echoed each other, appearing quite magnificent.

Not far away, Bai Mengmeng and Xin Fu also looked on with curiosity, as it was their first time seeing someone who possessed dual resonances before reaching the Marquis realm.

"Your resonance power can only be said to be of two types; it cannot be called the power of dual resonances... because you cannot even manage to simply fuse them together."

Instructor Xi Chan shook her head and said: "True power of dual resonances is when the two are completely fused together; within a single strand of resonance power, it possesses two characteristics that mutually generate each other, and the power that erupts from that is far beyond what normal resonance power can compare to."

"In your current state, if you want to perform a Water resonance technique, you can only circulate the Water resonance power, and if you perform a Wood resonance technique, you have to switch to the Wood resonance power... It is too cumbersome and complex, and when fighting others, it is easy for the opponent to seize upon your flaws."

Li Luo was lost in thought. The reality was indeed as she said; the two types of resonance power in his body were clearly distinct. They could remain separate without interfering with each other, but he had no way to make them fuse together.

When it came down to it, it was still a lack of ability on his part.

"Do you want to see the true power of dual resonances?" Instructor Xi Chan seemed to smile.

Li Luo's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

Instructor Xi Chan raised her palm, and the next moment, a powerful, torrent-like resonance power erupted from her body. The sound of rushing water began to flow through the training room.

Then, Li Luo saw that surging Water resonance power gather in front of Instructor Xi Chan, and immediately after, it actually formed a blue water tiger several feet tall.

That water tiger was entirely azure and possessed a jade-like luster, exuding astonishing ferocity. As soon as it appeared, it let out a roar that was deafening.

Li Luo trembled in its presence, feeling shocked in his heart, because he discovered that the pressure exuded by this blue water tiger was like that of a living creature.

"You should have been able to tell that my first resonance is a Water resonance."

"Then do you know what my second resonance is?" Instructor Xi Chan asked.

Li Luo was stunned. He looked at the blue water tiger before him, and his heart suddenly stirred. He tentatively asked: "Is it a Ten Thousand Beast resonance?"

Instructor Xi Chan nodded slightly and said: "That's right. My second resonance is a Ten Thousand Beast resonance, the high seventh-grade Jade Fat Tiger resonance."

Li Luo was dumbfounded and carefully glanced at Instructor Xi Chan. No wonder this instructor seemed gentle and calm but was always someone people didn't dare to provoke; it turned out this second resonance... was a tigress.

Instructor Xi Chan did not understand the meaning behind Li Luo's gaze, so she continued: "This blue water-jade tiger is formed by my dual resonance power. It possesses the endurance of the Water resonance, as well as the ferocity and violence of the Jade Fat Tiger resonance..."

"Its combat power is very strong; an ordinary Heavenly Dipper General-rank expert would likely not be able to withstand a single slap from it."

Li Luo's eyes were full of yearning. Was this the power of dual resonances of a Marquis-realm expert? A Heavenly Dipper General-rank expert was already considered a top-tier master in his eyes, yet here, they would be easily swatted to death by this blue water tiger. This made him realize even more deeply how terrifying the strength of a Marquis-realm expert was.

And the two clearly distinct powers in his body, at best, counted as two types of resonance power; they had absolutely nothing to do with the power of dual resonances.

However, Li Luo was not discouraged, because although the power of dual resonances was difficult to cultivate, he had at least started on the path, whereas others didn't even have the qualifications to start until they reached the Marquis realm.

Therefore, the more powerful this dual resonance power was, the happier he was.

"The cultivation of dual resonance power is also divided into three realms: the first realm is Minor Fusion, the second is Unity, and the third is Spirit Formation. Generally, as long as you break through to the Marquis realm, you will naturally reach the third realm without much extra cultivation... Of course, that is for Marquis-realm experts; don't think about crossing three realms in one step."

"And if you can reach the first realm, you will be able to briefly fuse the two types of resonance power. This level of dual resonance power will make you like a fish in water during battles at the Resonance Master realm."

"For the next period of time, I will use external force every day to forcibly fuse your two resonance powers together. You need to gradually perceive the characteristics of the two powers and then attempt to bring them into contact."

"Do not expect to achieve the power of dual resonances overnight; after all, you are not a true Marquis-realm expert, so you can only take it one step at a time," Instructor Xi Chan cautioned.

Li Luo hurriedly nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master."

This kind of cultivation for dual resonance power could only be guided and experienced by a true Marquis-realm expert. If he had to grope his way through it alone, he didn't know how much unnecessary energy and time he would waste.

"Besides, you are also learning Resonance Tempering, right?" Instructor Xi Chan asked.

"I have also touched upon Resonance Tempering; I can barely be considered a seventh-grade Resonance Tempering Master, and I also hold a position at the Resonance Tempering Institute... In the future, if you have any questions about Resonance Tempering, you can also come to me," she said casually.

Li Luo blinked. At this moment, he really wanted to ask sincerely: "Master, do you need a hanger-on?"

A seventh-grade Resonance Tempering Master was considered top-tier in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, if a Spirit Liquid and Light house wanted to squeeze into the top ten, if they didn't have a seventh-grade Resonance Tempering Master sitting in charge, others would question their authority and qualifications.

She could guide his cultivation and also guide his Resonance Tempering along the way... How was this an instructor? This was simply an angel!

Only at this moment did he realize how much energy he could save by finding a Purple-grade instructor.

Instructor Xi Chan gave Li Luo some more pointers for a while, and then switched to Xin Fu and Bai Mengmeng. Before they knew it, most of the day had passed.

"Let's stop here for today. Future lessons will basically follow this pattern. I don't have overly harsh requirements for you, but at the Astral Sage College, there is a ranking battle at the end of every month. The ranking battle is in the form of teams, not individuals, and teams that achieve results in the ranking battle can obtain college points. This is one of the few channels for freshmen like you to obtain college points in the early stages."

"Moreover, if a Purple-grade team is surpassed by a Gold-grade team three times in a row, the member with the lowest strength in the team may be eliminated. Of course, if you have some special skills, you can apply for an exemption, such as Mengmeng, who is a researcher of Spirit Liquid and Light formulas..." Instructor Xi Chan said, her clear eyes looking at the three of them.

Hearing this, the three of them felt a chill and nodded heavily.

It seemed that even after becoming a Purple-grade student, one could not relax in the slightest.

After enjoying the benefits brought by a Purple-grade instructor, no one was willing to drop down again. Li Luo now understood this deeply.

However, it would be quite difficult to push him past the thirtieth place.

But speaking of which... that guy Yu Lang was in a bit of danger.

Li Luo frowned, a trace of worry appearing on his face.

Hopefully, that slacker can put in some effort...
