Chapter 495: Resonance of the que


    When Lu Qing’er spoke with her soft voice, the icy-blue blood coalesced into a seal that radiated with splendorous light. One could see thin lines of clear, blue light emanate from the source on Li Luo’s palm.


    The light strands very quickly enveloped his body, gradually taking shape as aplete suit of te mail.


    Emzoned all over the suit of armor was an intricate, dark-red engraving that emanated an absolute frost. The very presence of this rime had a suppressive effect on the berserk heat all around them, pushing it down a notch with a countering force.


    Yet this was a temporary relief that was short lived when the inferno zed up again, coalescing and renewing the unfathomable heat. Li Luo’s icy temail then began to show hints of melting.


    However, all this was unimportant. What impressed everyone was that despite the blue-colored temail melting, it covered the anima dew membrane and greatly reduced the speed of its evaporation.


    The sight bbergasted the group.


    How did this make sense? Had it really worked?


    What in tarnation was that resonance art, Lu Qing’er? It was so immensely mighty that it could erode even the mes of the Dragon’s Belly.


    How?!


    Amidst the looks of shock, Lu Qing’er’splexion had paled significantly, and she wobbled, weakness taking hold of her now frail body. Luckily, Bai Doudou supported her in the nick of time. “Li Luo, this is my final gift to you. The suit of Nightmarish Eversnow temail will allow you to temper the rate at which the anima dew membrane dissipates, giving you that much more time and space to struggle. Whether you will be able to reach Dragonbone Ind is up to you now,” Lu Qing’er weakly exined.


    Li Luo cautiously examined the miraculous armor that surrounded him. This was truly an unexpected solution to the dilemma at hand.


    He could clearly feel that the Nightmarish Eversnow temail was no ordinary resonance art.


    Despite being taken aback, he quickly rposed himself and gave an exuberant smile towards Lu Qing’er. “Your methods are truly unfathomable and timely.” This was the best case scenario as he no longer had to pull out his trump card, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf.


    Truly an unpredicted windfall.


    Looking at the ted Li Luo brought Lu Qing’er a great sense of joy. This unique resonance art was something she had practiced long and arduously to master. In fact, Yu Hongxi was extremely dissatisfied that she had picked such a resonance art to train in. Lu Qing’er currently only had the capability to master one bloodline resonance art, and instead of picking one that could serve as a lethal de in times of trouble, she had picked this turtle shell.


    Ultimately, Lu Qing’er’s wishes took precedence and Yu Hongxi could only sigh in helplessness.


    It was doubly fortunate that this resonance art was able to achieve the goal she had wanted.


    Self-satisfaction bloomed within her, knowing that she had managed to assist Li Luo. “Unfortunately, with my current resonant power, conjuring just one suit of armor is my absolute limit. I can’t help anyone else,” Lu Qing’er apologetically exined to the rest.


    Qin Zhulu shook his head. “With such dire circumstances, being able to send Li Luo on his way is the best-case scenario.”


    “Hurry and move your butt, Li Luo. Don’t waste any more time,” Bai Doudou chided. The Nightmarish Eversnow temail was not aplete panacea to the problem, just a temporary band-aid. The clock was still ticking and its end woulde eventually, so the quicker Li Luo took advantage of it, the better. Otherwise, if this was all for naught, that would truly be regretful.


    Wang Hejiu was also feeling dour. He had struggled to obtain anima dew and finally grasped the opportunity to struggle amidst the titans on Dragonbone Ind… and now he was struggling against inevitable elimination, only able to watch Li Luo take thosest, glorious steps…


    “Do your best, Li Luo. I hope you can beat that son of a gun Jing Taixu and express our joy at meeting him in the most barbaric way possible,” Yi Lisha joked.


    Knowing that time was of the essence and seeing everyone’s expectant gazes, he heaved a deep sigh and nodded.


    “I will.”


    Just as his weighty words descended upon the group, resonant power burst out from his body and he shed forward with zing speed. When his feet made contact with the sea of mes, water resonant power rippled forth in response. Gathering force like a coiled spring, he then violentlyunched himself outwards.


    A single leap covered over a hundred meters. Although he was not as fast as the sky-soaring Jing Taixu, the speed at which he moved through the sea of mes was nothing to scoff at.


    Briefly turning around, he could see from the corner of his eye that in a small area far, far away, hispatriots were gradually being smothered by the mes, eventually turning into streams of light that were the sign of elimination.


    The sight caused him to pause in his steps for a few seconds before he turned and proceeded with renewed vigor. His expression remained impassive, but a hint of malice could be seen within his eyes.


    “Jing Taixu.


    “No. Lu Ming as well.”


    Although Jing Taixu was the main antagonist, Lu Ming had clearly given a significant helping hand. Regardless of her objective, she had yed a part. They would reap what they sowed.


    Otherwise, how could he face his disqualifiedpanions?


    Li Luo proceeded to rush forward, and the Nightmarish Eversnow temail began to slowly melt. Luckily, so long as the armor held up, the anima dew membrane would only dissipate at the lowest possible rate!


    “Judging by the rate at which it melts, I should probably have another eight hours of time left.” After which, the anima dew membrane would begin to wear down.


    When that urred, it would be impossible to arrive at Dragonbone Ind, as the vicious mes of the Dragon’s Belly would force him out of thepetition.


    “I hope I can make it,” Li Luo murmured to himself as he redoubled his efforts to speed ahead.


    He had even bumped intopetitors from other sage colleges on the way. Upon seeing his anxious state of mind, they were slightly taken aback. Yet upon closer inspection, they could sense his frail anima dew membrane, which brought joy to those who reveled in seeing others suffering.


    Who knew how the dratted Li Luo had squandered his anima dew membrane. It was no surprise he’d be nervous in this situation. If he failed to reach Dragonbone Ind, cheering would be his only game.


    Thus, the otherpetitors were full of smiles. Li Luo was considered a potential champion, and being eliminated before the mainpetition would mean one less tiger on the mountain.


    Of course, none of this fazed Li Luo. His only y was to make his way.


    Time passed, and only two hours remained for him.


    The Nightmarish Eversnow temail had shrunk to its thinnest state at this point.


    Li Luo’s gaze was unyielding and focused. This was expected, and there was nothing to freak out about. Instead, he channeled more resonant power from his dual pces, further bolstering his speed.


    “I should be able to make it! Li Luo! Don’t give up on yourself!” His heart palpitated with emotion as he steeled himself. He didn’t want to be kicked out on the cusp of sess!


    Boom!


    As he continued to push forward relentlessly, a sudden gout of me burst out from beneath his foot. Dodging reflexively, he managed to avoid the sudden danger. However, a stream of dragon’s bloodfire seemingly followed him, rushing at him as though attracted by something on his wrist.


    This sight unnerved Li Luo as that was his pocket sphere!


    He could not afford to have this treasure damaged, as all of his treasures would inevitably fall out!


    Despite his best efforts, he was unable to react in time and could only nkly watch that stream of dragon’s bloodfire collide directly with his prized pocket sphere.


    Mentally preparing himself to watch the total destruction of his pocket sphere, the sight that unfolded surprised him as well. The pocket sphere was undamaged, and the stream of dragon’s bloodfire seemed to have vanishedpletely.


    Li Luo continued to push forward undeterred, but his expression was one full of confusion.


    He could feel that something was going on within the pocket sphere.


    Just what could have absorbed that trace of dragon’s bloodfire?


    Li Luo paused for a moment before reaching within, and an object fell into his hands.


    It was that ck que engraved with the word “Li,” which was emanating a mysterious glow.
