Chapter 415: Lingering Resonance

The spectacular and soul-stirring ticket tournament has finally come to an end.

However, for the next several days, the entire academy remained immersed in the lingering resonance of that great battle. Discussions and arguments continued without pause, and among them, it was no surprise that Li Luo's match garnered the most heat. Although in terms of strength rank, the First Star Academy match was the lowest, its intensity and thrill were undoubtedly the greatest of the seven.

This has led to Li Luo becoming a prominent figure in the Astral Sage College, with a reputation now comparable to top students like the Princess, Gong Shenjun, and Jiang Qing'e.

To have achieved such a feat while in the First Star Academy—looking back at the academy over these years, I fear only Jiang Qing'e has managed it.

Furthermore, this influence and reputation were not limited to within the academy. Because this ticket tournament also attracted immense attention throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, all the details of the matches were spread across the Great Xia Dynasty at the very first opportunity.

This allowed the long-declining House Luolan to once again appear in the field of vision of countless people.

In the years since Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan went missing, House Luolan has been precarious. Although it is still listed as one of the Five Great Houses, in reality, many people have already understood that House Luolan's strength is no longer sufficient to stand there. It is just that for various reasons—and of course, most importantly, those two House Masters are still missing without a trace and have not been truly confirmed dead—the label of House Luolan being one of the Five Great Houses has never been removed.

For these past few years, Jiang Qing'e has supported House Luolan independently. The excellence and potential she has displayed have let many people know that House Luolan still has a fledgling phoenix gathering strength, waiting for the day it will astonish everyone with a single call.

As for this Young Master Li Luo, to be honest, his presence was too low. If it weren't for some interested parties paying attention, many people in the Great Xia Dynasty would have automatically forgotten him. After all, with Jiang Qing'e there, that brilliant radiance was enough to cover everything.

Occasionally, when people mentioned this Young Master, it was mostly because of that marriage contract with Jiang Qing'e.

But after this ticket tournament, countless people in Great Xia suddenly remembered this Young Master. And what made people feel most surprised was that this Young Master, who was rumored to be very ordinary, actually contributed such a stunning match.

The strength and potential he displayed in the match are not to be underestimated.

Only then did some people realize that this Young Master's previous obscurity was likely him hiding his true capabilities.

Sure enough, possessing parents as excellent as Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, how could he himself be an ordinary person? With this hidden dragon and fledgling phoenix in House Luolan, it seems the future is promising.

This great battle led to a surge in House Luolan's fame, and the business of the many industries under the house has become a bit better, especially Xiyang House; as the key industry of House Luolan today, it benefited the most.

For the two or three days after the ticket tournament, Li Luo was in a state of rest. That great battle against Lu Cang could be considered the most thrilling one he had experienced relying on his own strength. As for the time at the Golden Dragon Dojo with Lin Suo, that was more due to the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf.

So even for Li Luo, he was exhausted after the great battle, and it took him a full few days to recover his spirits.

On the third day of rest, Jiang Qing'e finished some matters and came to see him.

On the gravel path along the lake in front of the small building, the two walked side by side, chatting occasionally. The atmosphere was leisurely and relaxed. When they met many students along the way, they were all casting gazes at the two. In the past, these gazes were mostly focused on Jiang Qing'e, with Li Luo being the incidental one.

But this time, those gazes looking at Li Luo also became somewhat friendly and admiring.

However, their stroll did not last long before they saw two figures ahead.

The two stood in front, clearly waiting for them.

They were Zhao Huiyin and Lu Cang.

After the ticket tournament ended, the delegation from the Blue Abyss Sage College did not leave immediately but stayed to tour for a few days.

Zhao Huiyin looked at the two, a smile appearing on her charming face, and she waved at them generously.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e exchanged a glance and walked up.

"You haven't left yet?" Li Luo asked with some surprise.

"Are you that unwelcoming to us?" Zhao Huiyin said with a smile, then added, "We will be setting off to leave today."

"You are welcome to come to Great Xia after graduation," Jiang Qing'e said.

Zhao Huiyin laughed coquettishly, "Didn't I say, if you kick Li Luo out and become the House Master of House Luolan, I will come to Great Xia to join you in the future."

Li Luo had a face full of black lines.

Then he looked at Lu Cang. The latter had been staring at him, clearly wanting to speak to him, and Jiang Qing'e could see it too, so she walked aside to talk with Zhao Huiyin.

"What? Are you unhappy about losing the match?" Li Luo leaned against the stone railing by the lake and smiled.

Lu Cang shook his head and said, "Actually, strictly speaking, I am the one who cheated. After all, no matter what, I borrowed the power of another person, while you were fighting one against two."

Li Luo smiled; this Lu Cang was quite honest.

"It can't really be considered cheating; that was your special ability to begin with."

Lu Cang hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I just wanted to know why the power you used to defeat me in the end was so strong."

Li Luo was startled. He recalled his punch at the bottom of the lake that day. Although that power was because he had evolved his "Water-Light Resonance," the reason it could reach that point in the end was actually because of his realization of the power of dual resonances in that instant.

The power of dual resonances has three realms: Minor Fusion, Unity, and Spirit Formation.

In the past, his dual resonance power had always been at the first level, the Minor Fusion realm. But that punch at the bottom of the lake—perhaps because his state of mind was too clear—in that instant, the realm of his dual resonance power briefly reached "Unity."

Those two dual resonance halos were the proof.

And in the two days after the great battle, he had continued to use his dual resonance power, but those dual resonance halos did not manifest again. Clearly, that punch was just a flash in the pan and not something he had fully and truly mastered.

However, this was still excellent news, because it showed that his control over the dual resonance power was gradually improving. This time was just an accidental situation, but as he continued to practice, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could truly reach the "Unity" realm.

"That was true dual resonance power, the dual resonance power of the Unity realm."

Li Luo smiled and did not cover it up, but said it directly.

"The dual resonance power of the Unity realm."

Lu Cang muttered, sighed melancholically, and said, "That is the true dual resonance. Although I can borrow my brother's power and resonance to turn myself into a dual resonance, these are actually just two types of resonances, not a dual resonance. So I cannot fuse them to form dual resonance power."

Li Luo nodded. When he was fighting Lu Cang, he had sensed it. After Lu Cang grafted Lu Cang's power, his resonance power did indeed become very strong, but those were just two strong resonance powers; the two did not fuse together like his dual resonance power.

Unable to fuse, it was naturally difficult to form true dual resonance power.

They were just two giant pythons, and it was hard for them to become a true dragon.

"But you are also very impressive, the future is promising." Li Luo gave Lu Cang a thumbs up, praising him sincerely and giving this opponent enough respect.

Lu Cang smiled and said, "Our Blue Abyss Sage College should be absent from this Grail Battle, but I will keep an eye on you. Keep it up; I hope you can have an even more outstanding performance in the Grail Battle. The opponents you meet there will be far stronger than me."

He paused and said, "Also, I'll give you a piece of intelligence: in the First Star Academy section of this Grail Battle, you are not the only one who possesses true dual resonances."

"So this time, I fear you will meet a formidable enemy just like you, who can truly use 'dual resonance power'."

Li Luo was a bit surprised, but he didn't feel too unexpected about it, so he smiled and nodded.

"If that's the case..."

"That actually makes me look forward to it a little."
