Chapter 388: Wood-Earth Evolution

When the third high-level Green Spirit Puppet turned into a ground full of green smoke, Li Luo, Qin Zhulu, Lu Qinger, and Xin Fu all sat down on the spot, exhausted. However, despite their extreme fatigue, their faces were filled with excitement and thrill.

No one had expected that they would be able to be the first to break through the fortieth floor!

Such a battle record was simply stunning enough to blind people.

One could imagine that if this result were to spread, their First Star Academy would gain great face within this Astral Sage College. In the past, when students from the Second Star Academy faced them, they would inevitably show a sense of condescension like seniors, but after this, I fear the students of the Second Star Academy will have to rein in such sentiments.

And just one minute after the battle ended for Li Luo's side, the battle on Wang Hejiu's side also concluded.

It was just that the expressions of Wang Hejiu, Ye Qiuding, and the others were extremely ugly, with not a shred of the joy of clearing the level, because they all knew they had failed.

Li Luo and his team had broken through the fortieth floor first; as the first First Star Academy team to clear the level, they would receive a gift far exceeding that of the second place.

Wang Hejiu and Duze Beixuan gritted their teeth, their eyes dim and unwilling. They had paid such a huge price, even willing to endure the scorn of many students in the First Star Academy to invite the Ye Qiuding team as external aid, all to be the first to break through the fortieth floor and seize that generous gift of Green Spirit energy. But now, they had taken the abuse, yet hadn't reaped a single benefit.

This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.

They couldn't be happy here, and Ye Qiuding's side was also in a terrible mood. Although their failure here didn't result in any major losses, this defeat would damage the reputation of the Second Star Academy. When the time came, other students from the Second Star Academy would inevitably point fingers at them, feeling that if they didn't have the ability, they should have stayed out of the affairs of other academies. Now, having been defeated by Li Luo and his team, wouldn't this make the Second Star Academy a laughingstock?

"Damn it!"

Thinking of this, Ye Qiuding couldn't help but curse out loud. Because of the matter in the Dark Cave, there were already many people waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and one could imagine that after this incident, his reputation in the Second Star Academy would be greatly affected.

This Li Luo is truly a damn monster!

While everyone on the field had different mindsets, Li Luo and the others began to welcome the highly anticipated gift.

As the bodies of the three high-level Green Spirit Puppets dissipated, rich Green Spirit energy began to descend from the sky. These energies directly formed dazzling pillars of light, enveloping Li Luo, Qin Zhulu, and the others completely.

Li Luo and the others felt their spirits lift and immediately sat cross-legged, then operated their respective energy-guiding techniques to absorb all of the Green Spirit energy that was surging into their bodies like a tide.

This time, even though the Green Spirit energy was being shared between two teams, it was still more abundant than any time before.

In just a short moment, the resonant power fluctuations surging within everyone were climbing step by step.

Li Luo also blocked out all external interference, focusing his mind on absorbing the massive Green Spirit energy pouring into his body. Those energies, like a continuous stream, surged in waves into his two resonant palaces, making the two resonant power seeds within them increasingly full and bright.

On the surface of the resonant power seeds, the five resonant power light patterns were already bright to the extreme.

The seeds radiated a mysterious light, as if they were about to evolve into something, but in the end, they failed to take shape.

Li Luo still hadn't been able to break through.

However, he wasn't overly impatient; instead, he began to adopt a different approach. Previously, he had been splitting the Green Spirit energy equally between the two resonant palaces because he had hoped that both resonant power seeds could begin to evolve into reality at the same time, and then perfectly step into the Resonant Transformation Stage.

But clearly, he had underestimated the massive energy required to evolve two resonant power seeds simultaneously.

Now that the ticket tournament was approaching, if he wanted to become a representative of the First Star Academy, it was best to step into the Resonant Transformation Stage. Otherwise, even if his battle record was illustrious, his own resonant power level would be the most persuasive argument to save him from wasting his breath.

Therefore, this time, he still needed to break through first.

Thinking of this, Li Luo no longer hesitated. With a thought, the Green Spirit energy pouring into his body stopped flowing toward the "Water-Light Resonance" palace and instead surged entirely into the "Wood-Earth Resonance" palace.

That's right, Li Luo now intended to concentrate all his energy to evolve the Wood-Earth Resonance first, because the grade of the Wood-Earth Resonance was relatively lower, so the energy required for the breakthrough would also be lower.

And as long as the Wood-Earth Resonance evolved successfully, he would be able to step into the Resonant Transformation Stage first. Although this breakthrough wouldn't be complete, he should be able to evolve the "Water-Light Resonance" as well after accumulating more energy later.

The rolling Green Spirit energy poured in continuously.

That resonant power seed, which was a mix of emerald green and brown luster, was also becoming round and bright at an astonishing speed. The five resonant power light patterns on the surface of the seed were as dazzling as a galaxy.

Li Luo could even begin to feel that the resonant power contained within the resonant power seed was reaching an upper limit.

But he didn't stop, continuing to drive the Green Spirit energy to pour in in large quantities.

As time passed, the Wood-Earth resonant power seed began to vibrate violently, and circles of resonant power ripples continuously spread outward.

It was like a volcano about to erupt.

Li Luo felt it in his heart and knew that the limit had been reached.

Crack!

And at this very moment, it was as if the sound of something breaking rang out. Li Luo perceived it and saw that a crack had actually appeared on the surface of the Wood-Earth resonant power seed.

But he didn't panic; instead, he felt a sense of joy.

Because this was the beginning of the evolution.

As more and more cracks appeared on the surface of the resonant power seed, emerald-green resonant power suddenly gushed out. These resonant powers slowly intertwined and condensed.

Gradually, the resonant power transformed into a small, verdant tree.

The roots of the small tree wrapped around the resonant power seed, eventually covering it.

A small green tree, condensed and evolved from resonant power, replaced the resonant power seed and stood quietly within the resonant palace.

This was the evolution of the resonance, gradually evolving from pure resonant power into the reality of the resonance.

Basically, all Wood Resonance evolutions were the same. It is said that in the resonant palaces of those Marquis-level experts, if it is a Wood Resonance, it can evolve into vast forests and endless ancient trees, exuding heaven-shaking Wood Resonance power.

Li Luo gazed at this small green tree and then discovered that at the root of this resonant power tree, there was actually a patch of brown soil.

The soil also shimmered with luster, as if it possessed spirituality.

Li Luo understood in his heart that the resonant power tree was the evolution of the Wood Resonance, while the soil was the evolution of the Earth Resonance.

His Wood-Earth Resonance, as expected, had an evolution that was somewhat unique. Do not underestimate this patch of soil; its existence could make the small tree evolved from the Wood Resonance even more resilient and upright.

Inside the resonant palace, the verdant small tree swayed gently, seemingly emitting a feeling of extreme joy.

And as it swayed, rolling resonant power was also emitted. The intensity of that resonant power... even surpassed the Water-Light Resonance, which was of a higher grade than it.

This was the Resonant Transformation Stage.

Of course, strictly speaking, it was the Wood-Earth Resonance that had stepped into the Resonant Transformation Stage first...

Li Luo let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Sure enough, he had to rely on the abundant Green Spirit energy of this fortieth floor; otherwise, wanting to evolve the Wood-Earth Resonance in one go would likely have taken quite a bit of effort.

Although this dual resonance had brought him an increase in combat power, this advancement was also far more troublesome than other single resonances.

But fortunately, he had finally made it through.
