Chapter 0795 – Remnant Energy

After Li Rouyun announced the result of the selection battle, the crowd on the vast training ground started to shout raucously.

Their eyes were all filled with surprise.

This was a conclusion that set their hearts pounding.

None of them had expected Li Luo to emerge victorious after they saw Zhong Ling condensing fiend dipper energy.

After all, Li Luo was only at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier!

There were simply so many tiers between him and Zhong Ling.

Was this simply because he was a triple resonance user?!

With such fearsome might, he had to be the strongest Greater Fiend Palace Tier cultivator that they had ever seen.

Over at the Green Nether Banner's fifth division, the members were stunned for a moment too. However, they soon burst into happy cheers knowing that their Sub Leader Li Luo had become the Banner Leader. Although Li Luo would have to step down as the fifth division’s Sub Leader after this, there would finally be better days ahead for the fifth division with him as the Banner Leader.

A seductive, rosy glow surfaced on Zhao Yanzhi's charming face due to her excitement. Indeed, Li Luo had shown an amazing display of his fighting power.

With his illustrious background, Li Luo could have easily become the leader among the younger generation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage if he had been raised here. However, he had wasted too much time in the outer divine continent, causing him to get a late start. Thankfully, he had managed to catch up quickly with his impressive natural talent.

With that in mind, Zhao Yanzhi was determined to establish a close relationship with Li Luo.

Such opportunities should not be squandered after all.

She smiled slightly at this moment. Coming from a humble background, she had always treaded carefully. She understood that her dazzling beauty would be an advantage. However, it had its own set of problems too. Owing to her unique past, she knew the hearts of men too well.

But Li Luo was different from them. He was not particularly interested in her appearance and he gave her a good impression. Although, what hadn't changed were the doubts she had about his so-called fiance that was apparently as pretty as a goddess. Did someone like that truly exist?

As such, she was fine with getting close to Li Luo. The more powerful and influential Li Luo became, the better it would be for her.

"Tsk tsk, he's indeed the son of Third Uncle, defeating a Fiend Finisher while he’s only at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier. Although his opponent was just a beginner Fiend Finisher who has just started condensing his fiend dipper energy, such a feat is rarely seen," Li Jingtao commented in admiration as he gazed at the tall silhouette on the platform.

Then his face immediately turned bitter again. "It will be tough on me in the future. The next time my father scolds me, he will definitely say things like ‘just take a look at your little brother,’" he lamented.

Li Jingtao was a kind soul who did not like to compete with others. Everyone in the younger generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li knew that the eldest grandson of the Lineage Chief was no different from a benevolent, old man. Due to this, he had been reprimanded by his father for lacking in drive multiple times.

"Hmph, you deserve it with your lackadaisical personality. If you had put in some effort, the Gold Light Banner would never have managed to rise to the top amongst the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage," Li Fengyi said.

Once upon a time, Li Jingtao actually had the highest chance to lead the four banners. After all, he had the right background. However, he had lost it to the Gold Light Banner due to his docile personality. That gave Deng Fengxian an opportunity to rise up and become the leading figure amongst the younger generation of the Dragon's Fang Lineage today.

"I was leaving the opportunity for you," Li Jingtao replied with a laugh.

"How dare you ask a girl like me to take the frontline and lead!" Li Fengyi curled her lips.

"Don't worry, we have Little Brother now. He's not bad, so I have my hopes placed on him! In the future, he will definitely become the figurehead of the Dragon's Fang Lineage just like Third Uncle," Li Jingtao replied with an apologetic smile.

Hearing this, Li Fengyi shook her head helplessly without any more words.

Over at the Gold Light Banner area.

A few Sub Leaders of the Gold Light Banner asked in disbelief, "Zhong Ling actually lost. Isn't Li Luo just insane? What kind of Greater Fiend Palace cultivator possesses such power?"

Deng Fengxian stared at Li Luo's silhouette on the platform as he slowly explained, "It was a really surprising end to this battle, but that last blow by Li Luo was an all-in bet. He summoned up all his strength in that attack and could barely stand straight after it. Of course, it's unbelievable for someone at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier to muster up so much power. This must have been an edge provided to him by his three resonances. They must have enabled him to cultivate an amount of resonant power comparable to a Silver Fiend after tempering all three of his resonant palaces. Besides that, his body was screaming in pain when he slashed down with his blade earlier. He used some kind of secret art to strengthen his body in order to withstand it.

"Most importantly, the power of his dual resonances is different from the other dual resonances that I have seen so far. His dual resonance power was much more concentrated and powerful. It seemed like there were even some mysterious traces of light in it. If I am not wrong, Li Luo may have attained the third realm when it comes to wielding dual resonances."

When he finished his analysis, the members of the Gold Light Banner asked in surprise, "The third realm?!" They had heard of it as a power that truly only belonged to those at the Duke Stage. This was an unique edge that dual resonance users had. However, it was said that it was really challenging to increase one's realms when it came to dual resonance power. It turned out that Li Luo had already managed to achieve it at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier.

Was his natural talent really that amazing?

If he was already so overpowered when he was merely at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier, then wouldn't he be a threat even to Deng Fengxian when he finally entered the Fiend Body Tier in the future?

Seeing the change in their expressions, Deng Fengxian calmly smiled and elaborated, "It's true that we cannot underestimate Li Luo, but there is no need to be so scared. That feeble condensation of fiend dipper energy by Zhong Ling does not truly reflect the might of those at the Fiend Finisher Tier. Moreover, Li Luo took a huge gamble in this battle. Zhong Ling's foundation is not strong, which is why he can't even reach the Glass Fiend Tier. If Li Luo had faced a Glass Fiend opponent, he would definitely not have been the last man standing."

Hearing his words, the banner members heaved a sigh of relief. It would be too scary if Li Luo could stand up to a true Fiend Finisher while he was only at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier. However, they now understood even with all his might, Li Luo had only won against a Gold Fiend rather than a Fiend Finisher.

As for Deng Fengxian, he was a bona fide Fiend Finisher who had even made a stop at the Glass Fiend Tier.

His foundation was solid and far exceeded that of an ordinary Fiend Finisher.

From his explanation earlier, they understood that he was still miles ahead of Li Luo. Notwithstanding the exceptional talent of Li Luo, the Gold Light Banner would still remain as the top amongst the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

And Deng Fengxian would still be the leader of the younger generation in the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

"Let's go. There's nothing else to see today," Deng Fengxian said. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and left.

The members of the Gold Light Banner followed closely behind. After his spectacular win in this fight, they all knew that Li Luo, the son of Li Taixuan that had returned from the outer divine continent, would surely rise in fame among the younger generation in Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

The stunning conclusion of this battle would create waves of ripples through the otherwise peaceful days for the Twenty Banners.
