Chapter 339: The Emotionally Complex Ji Sun

Xu Ling was defeated; he was directly struck by Li Luo with such force that he lost consciousness.

So, faced with Li Luo's exclamation, he had no way to respond; otherwise, it would surely have caused another surge of blood to his heart.

That he lost so cleanly was not because he was too weak, but because he underestimated Li Luo, an opponent who was also at the Third Pattern like him. He was likely new to the world and did not yet know that there is a massive difference between people.

Li Luo glanced at the heavily injured and unconscious Xu Ling. Within this Golden Dragon Arena, it was impossible to completely kill an opponent, as the Golden Dragon Secret Keys held by each participant provided near-death protection. This was in line with the style of the Golden Dragon Treasury: harmony brings wealth, and one should not engage in unnecessary disputes or slaughter. After all, these people who came to help had some background and status; if they truly died in the Golden Dragon Arena, it would lead to some loss of business.

And while Li Luo's side ended the battle with astonishing speed, on the other side, the youth named Guo Xiang had just walked in front of Lu Qinger.

He flashed a smile at her that he thought was quite handsome and said gently, "Miss, if you can't take it, you can admit defeat early. I am a person who knows how to cherish the fair sex."

Lu Qinger said coldly, "I think your teammate might be the one who can't take it first."

Guo Xiang's brow furrowed. Only then did he suddenly realize that there was no sound from Xu Ling's side. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned his head, only to see Li Luo holding dual blades, stepping through the snowy ground with a smile as he approached.

Behind him lay Xu Ling in a pool of blood.

A look of dullness appeared on Guo Xiang's face, and for a moment, he was dazed. It had only been a few steps—how was Xu Ling already gone?!

Was it done by this kid in front of him?

But wasn't he also just at the Third Pattern of the Resonance Pattern Stage?

Damn it, Xu Ling, are you unable to stand me playing with a girl, so you're intentionally throwing the fight?

Just as Guo Xiang was dazed, a cold, biting chill suddenly swept in from the front. Lu Qinger struck out with a palm, the cold air rolling forward, causing the very air to freeze.

That slender palm struck Guo Xiang's chest directly, but at that very instant, his body suddenly exploded, turning into snowflakes dancing across the sky.

"Snow Resonance?"

Lu Qinger arched her willow brows. This Guo Xiang actually possessed a Snow Resonance; in this icy, snowy terrain, it was like a tiger gaining wings.

She stood in place, her gaze sweeping around, only to find that Guo Xiang's figure had completely vanished, and even his Resonance Power fluctuations could not be sensed. Utilizing the ice and snow, this Guo Xiang had simply hidden himself.

Li Luo walked over at this moment and laughed, "A Snow Resonance is quite rare."

Lu Qinger gave a cold snort and said, "Do you really think you can hide? Don't forget, within ice and snow, there is also ice."

The Ice Resonance power within her surged out at this moment, blooming with light at her slender fingertips, and then it drew upon the ice and snow in all directions.

"Ice Crystal Binding!"

Countless ice crystals as fine as dust were seen spreading in all directions, penetrating everywhere. A few breaths later, Li Luo's gaze looked toward a certain direction on the right, where countless ice crystals were condensing, gradually forming a human figure.

It was none other than Guo Xiang.

At this moment, the latter looked at the ice crystals covering his body with an ugly expression, his internal Resonance Power surging violently to quickly melt the ice crystals.

However, although he had neutralized the binding of the ice crystals, his position had been exposed. Li Luo wore a smile, his dual blades flashing as he dashed over.

"I want to see if you are really that monstrous!"

Seeing Li Luo charging at him, Guo Xiang's expression shifted. Immediately, he let out a roar, his internal Resonance Power erupting without reservation. He waved his palms, and it seemed as if snowflakes from the sky were gathering.

"Tiger General Art, Great Snow Leopard!"

The snowflakes condensed, seemingly forming a snow leopard, wrapped in icy cold energy, and it charged head-on at Li Luo.

Li Luo's expression was calm, and without any flair, he simply slashed down. Water-light Resonance Power formed high-speed flowing water blades upon the edge of his weapon.

It was still the Water Blade Art.

It was just that as Li Luo's Water-Light Resonance evolved to the seventh grade, his Water-Light Resonance Power had become even more refined. Moreover, Resonance Power that reached the seventh grade naturally possessed a nascent spirit, which meant that Li Luo's current Water-Light Resonance Power was more than a level stronger than before.

Likewise, this once-simple Water Blade Art had once again received a boost.

Li Luo named it the "Monstrous-Level Water Blade Art"!

This was a Resonance Art he liked very much. Although its grade was not high, it was precisely because of that that it had extremely strong deceptive qualities. Previously, Xu Ling had been slashed down in one blow precisely because he looked down on his Water Blade Art.

I fear that in the end, this guy was very puzzled in his heart as to why the most ordinary Water Blade Art could possess such terrifying power.

No one could have imagined that the fusion of Water Resonance and Light Resonance power could erupt with such simple yet indestructible force.

The blade swept down, the water light flowing on the edge, and it collided directly with the pouncing snow leopard. The next instant, the snow leopard shattered, turning into snowflakes across the sky.

Li Luo slashed his blade toward the Guo Xiang behind it.

However, just before the blade could fall, the latter knelt on the ground, covered his head, and shouted loudly, "Big Brother, I believe you! Don't cut me!"

Hum!

The blade stopped an inch away from him. Li Luo looked at the other party with some surprise; this kid was quite a talent, truly taking the concept of "a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him" to the extreme.

Li Luo smiled, tilted the blade, and slapped it heavily on the other party's forehead, knocking him unconscious instantly.

"You are too amazing. An average Third Pattern can't even take one of your moves." Lu Qinger looked at Li Luo cleanly and efficiently finishing off a Third Pattern opponent, and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Just two small fries."

Li Luo didn't feel much about this. Xu Ling and Guo Xiang's Resonance Power was unstable; it was clear they hadn't been at the Third Pattern for long, their own abilities weren't strong, and their Resonance grades were barely seventh grade. Now that he possessed a seventh-grade Water-Light Resonance and a fifth-grade Wood-Earth Resonance, even without using his dual resonance power, his combat strength was enough to crush such opponents.

"Let's go help Qin Zhulu; the pressure on his side shouldn't be small."

Li Luo said this, then turned his figure and dashed toward the icy forest not far away. Over there, violent Resonance Power was constantly erupting; clearly, the battle was exceptionally intense.

Lu Qinger followed closely behind.

A moment later, when the two arrived at the battlefield, they happened to see two figures in the center clashing in an extremely fierce manner. Waves of Resonance Power were constantly sweeping out, snapping the nearby large trees one after another.

At this time, Qin Zhulu's eyes were bloodshot, and the golden tiger patterns on his body seemed to be inhaling and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth. His body had expanded by several sizes, and the heavy spear in his hand was wrapped in dark red Resonance Power, attacking the opposite Ji Sun with extreme weight and speed like a thunderbolt.

Every strike brought a piercing sound of breaking air, and the wind and snow were shredded.

However, facing his offensive, Ji Sun appeared somewhat composed. His speed was extremely fast, and he constantly dodged, with faint afterimages appearing, avoiding the vast majority of Qin Zhulu's attacks. Every time the willow-leaf blade in his hand swung out, it was silent, accompanied by the passing wind, ultimately leaving a bloodstain on Qin Zhulu's body.

Qin Zhulu didn't care about these wounds at all, counterattacking with a fearless, desperate offensive. It was precisely because of this life-risking fighting style that Ji Sun was often somewhat constrained, unable to defeat Qin Zhulu at the fastest speed.

However, if this situation continued, as time passed, Qin Zhulu would likely lose.

After all, Ji Sun was a genuine First Transformation of the Resonance Transformation Stage; in terms of Resonance Power intensity, he was far stronger than Qin Zhulu.

However, the situation ended there.

Because both Qin Zhulu and Ji Sun in the arena noticed the arrival of Li Luo and Lu Qinger. Qin Zhulu had expected this, but Ji Sun could not hide his shock.

He retreated rapidly, his sharp gaze fixed on Li Luo, and he said slowly, "This friend really knows how to hide."

Originally, he thought the most powerful person in this team should be this reckless guy who possessed the upper eighth-grade Gold-Devouring Demon Tiger Resonance, but looking at it now, he had clearly misjudged.

This kid, who looked decent on the outside, was the most devious one.

"I have finally learned the style of the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury," Ji Sun sneered.

However, Li Luo ignored his useless words and instead smiled, saying, "There is one thing I would like to ask you."

Ji Sun looked at him coldly.

Li Luo did not mind his attitude but pointed at Lu Qinger thoughtfully.

"Do you know why she has been able to easily find all kinds of rare spiritual plants along the way?"
