He extended one palm, and Mentor Xi Chan also reached out a hand, placing it beneath the back of Li Luo’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their palms made contact, a faint, gentle warmth radiated outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Luo was in no mood to pay attention to such sensations; on the contrary, his expression was exceptionally grave at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his palm, two streams of resonance power surged forth, appearing in blue and emerald green—these were his Water and Wood resonance powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two streams of resonance power were distinct and clearly separated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, just as these two streams appeared in Li Luo’s palm, an irresistible force suddenly emerged, causing the two streams to vibrate and begin slowly merging together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Luo’s palm, it was as if a constantly vibrating ball of light had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the light, the Water and Wood resonance powers, forcibly suppressed together by an external force, were struggling desperately to separate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel the sensation during the brief moment the two resonance powers merge. Try your best to resolve the repulsion between them. Keep your heart as still as a mirror,\" Mentor Xi Chan’s calm voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s mind gradually calmed. Between his palms, the two resonance powers—one cold and lingering, the other brimming with vitality—had diametrically opposed attributes. Under Mentor Xi Chan’s forceful suppression, the two attributes intersected and merged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a stream flowing past the roots of a tree, surging into the great tree along its roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization lasted for a moment before Mentor Xi Chan released her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the removal of that powerful external suppression, the two merged resonance powers suddenly scattered like wild horses that had lost their tethers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a faint sound, the two resonance powers in Li Luo’s palm simultaneously vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo opened his eyes and sighed helplessly. This power of dual resonances was truly extremely difficult to cultivate; it required a level of control that reached the microscopic level, and for a beginner like him, the difficulty was clearly not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to be discouraged. If the power of dual resonances were so easy to master, you would be looking down on Marquis-level experts too much.\" Mentor Xi Chan, who was before him, was not surprised by this; instead, she offered a word of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded with a wry smile. He had now been at the Astral Sage College for half a month. During this half-month, aside from cultivating at the Resonance Power Tree every three days, he had been following Mentor Xi Chan to learn how to master the power of dual resonances, but clearly, he had still underestimated the difficulty involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the guidance of Mentor Xi Chan, a Marquis-level expert, the progress of this cultivation remained slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Mentor Xi Chan had said, the power of dual resonances was inherently the privilege of Marquis-level experts. Li Luo was currently only a small Resonance Master, which was like a baby trying to wield a heavy axe; wanting to master it was not that easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take it slow. If you can initially master the power of dual resonances, your strength will rise by a significant tier. By then, dealing with Wang Hejiu will be no problem at all,\" Mentor Xi Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said solemnly, \"Mentor, that’s not right of you. I have no desire to deal with Wang Hejiu. We are all classmates; isn't it better to love and care for one another?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Chan smiled without a word. Love and care for one another? If given the chance, Li Luo would be the first to move and beat Wang Hejiu until his head was broken and bleeding. Of course, Wang Hejiu was likely also waiting for an opportunity to step on Li Luo, while incidentally showing off his boring presence in front of the girl he admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't be bothered to expose Li Luo’s hypocrisy, only saying, \"Although you possess dual resonances, do not look down on others. Those who can rank among the freshmen are no ordinary characters. They lack neither talent nor potential, and now that they have the guidance of their respective mentors, their progress can be called god-like in speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded. Looking down on others was something he would never do, because he was the type who waited for others to look down on him, only to catch them off guard and flip them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor... is there any treasure in this college that can make one’s cultivation speed faster?\" Li Luo asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Chan was startled, looking at him: \"How fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo thought for a moment and revealed a subtle smile: \"Something like being able to reach the Marquis realm within five years, for example.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reach the Marquis realm in five years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Chan’s gaze lingered on Li Luo for a few seconds, then she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There really is one?\" Li Luo was ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan nodded again and said seriously, \"After we finish cultivation later, go back, take a bath, and get a good night’s sleep. In your dreams, don't just talk about reaching the Marquis realm in five years—even reaching the King realm or beyond in five years is possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s smile immediately stiffened. Beside him, Bai Meng could not help but lower her head, her shoulders shaking, and even the corners of Xin Fu’s mouth, hidden beneath his hood, slowly pulled upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor, aren't you just teasing me?\" Li Luo said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan said calmly, \"Weren't you the one who teased me first? Reaching the Marquis realm in five years—do you think you can be this arrogant just because you possess dual resonances?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo laughed dryly: \"Then, Mentor, how long do you think it will take for me to reach the Marquis realm, given my talent and potential?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reaching the Marquis realm does indeed require talent and potential, but it also requires temperament and opportunity. How can that be predicted accurately? However, I estimate that with your talent, perhaps ten years or so will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s face turned dark. Ten years to reach the Marquis realm? Then I might as well have someone collect my corpse in five years; what’s the point of reaching the Marquis realm then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had less than five years of life left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wasn't the reason he had exhausted all his efforts to enter the Astral Sage College because the cultivation resources and mentor resources here could allow him to become stronger at the fastest possible speed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan glanced at Li Luo. She could sense that Li Luo seemed to have a sense of urgency regarding the improvement of his strength, but she did not find it too strange. After all, the current situation of the House of Luolan was fraught with internal and external troubles, with various forces eyeing them covetously. Coupled with Li Luo’s worry for his parents trapped in the Marquis-level battlefield, it was only human nature to want to improve his strength rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, her voice became a little softer: \"Li Luo, while cultivation matters should not be neglected, one must not be overly eager for success, or it is easy to go astray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded with a wry smile. He could not tell Xi Chan about his lifespan, so the other party could not understand his anxiety that time was running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you want to improve your cultivation speed in a rhythmic way, there are quite a few methods within the Astral Sage College. The cultivation at the Resonance Power Tree goes without saying—that is indispensable. Besides that, you should look for a higher-level Energy Guidance Art; this can also increase your cultivation speed. I observe that the Energy Guidance Art you are practicing does not seem to be a Marquis-level one, right?\" Mentor Xi Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Energy Guidance Art...\" Li Luo found this very headache-inducing, because the Energy Guidance Art he was currently practicing was only the \"Mystic Waterfall Breathing Method,\" a high-grade General-tier art. Although it was considered decent, it still had a gap compared to a true Marquis-level Energy Guidance Art. However, most Marquis-level Energy Guidance Arts required one’s resonance grade to be above the seventh grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his Water-Light resonance was stuck exactly at the sixth grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had been trying his best to improve his sixth-grade Water-Light resonance, it was clearly impossible to achieve in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan clearly knew the point of Li Luo’s headache and immediately said, \"Generally speaking, the vast majority of Marquis-level Energy Guidance Arts do indeed have requirements for the corresponding grade, but this is not absolute. The House of Luolan might not have one, but the Astral Sage College might not necessarily be without one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Luo’s spirits were immediately lifted, and he asked with pleasant surprise, \"The Astral Sage College has this kind of Energy Guidance Art?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I remember correctly, the Astral Sage College houses a Marquis-level Energy Guidance Art named the 'Twelve-Section Brocade.' The requirement for the resonance grade for this method happens to be the sixth grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was overjoyed. This was truly a case of having a pillow handed to him just as he was getting sleepy; this \"Twelve-Section Brocade\" was simply perfectly suited to his current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And besides switching to a higher-grade Energy Guidance Art, there is another thing within the Astral Sage College that is very beneficial for cultivation, which can allow your cultivation speed to take a faster step forward without harming yourself,\" Mentor Xi Chan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Li Luo asked impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan smiled: \"Resonance Liquid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Resonance Liquid?\" Li Luo was also stunned by this name, which could not be more ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not look down on this item. Resonance Liquid is a specialty of the Astral Sage College. It is refined from the sap of the Resonance Power Tree. If one were to rank the most beloved items in the hearts of the students, Resonance Liquid would definitely be in the top three,\" Mentor Xi Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was practically moved to tears. Where else could he find such a good college?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to the Astral Sage College was truly the wisest decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor, how should I obtain these two things?\" Li Luo asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Mentor Xi Chan’s lips beneath her black veil seemed to lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s very simple. The 'Twelve-Section Brocade' costs three thousand College Credits, and one vial of Resonance Liquid costs three hundred credits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s smile stiffened slightly. After pondering for a moment, he asked sincerely, \"Mentor, may I ask if the Astral Sage College’s credits can be bought on credit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentor Xi Chan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1833,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","53bac8b6e1fae1212913c16561ebb06b9a4946c0797d6498c8d778747b99ae68","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-151","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-149",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
