Absolute Resonance - Chapter 805 – Dragon Fang Duke Art

In the end, the matter wrapped up hastily in the Pavillion Hall. No one had expected that Li Luo had obtained the voting rights of the Main Hall Master. Although he did not possess all the privileges of the Green Nether Hall’s Main Hall Master, he was undoubtedly the most influential Banner Leader among the Twenty Banners, considering the fact that he possessed voting rights for hall decisions.

No other Banner Leader could possibly possess such a special opportunity.

Shortly after, Zhong Yushi came up with an excuse to leave. His face was contorted with a grimace as he departed with a belly full of anger. With the voting rights of the Main Hall Master, Li Luo could truly affect his influence in the Green Nether Hall. However, all this stemmed from Li Jingzhe, so he could not do anything about it no matter how unhappy he was.

In the end, the incident with Zhong Ling had come to a closure. There was nothing to pursue anymore, and it was inevitable that the Green Nether Banner would fall into Li Luo’s hands.

At Green Nether Peak, between the mountains.

Li Rouyun was sending Li Luo off with happiness present within her eyes. She had never really confronted Zhong Yushi before, so it was satisfying to see him face a setback today.

“Who would have expected that the Respected Elder would pass you the Green Nether Hall’s Main Hall Master plaque? Zhong Yushi has been eyeing that thing for so many years, and he still couldn’t obtain it despite all his scheming,” she commented with a sigh.

“Evidently, Li Taixuan has an irreplaceable place in the Respected Elder’s heart despite his absence for so many years.”

“This plaque just gives me voting rights. There are still many affairs in the Green Nether Hall that I can’t intervene in. Guess it’s still too early,” Li Luo replied with a smile.

“It’s a great start. I think that if your father doesn’t return to the Dragon’s Fang Lineage in a few more years, the Respected Elder may just make you take over his position,” Li Rouyun added on.

“That is too much for me.” Li Luo laughed it off with a shake of his head. The Green Nether Hall governed over two domains in the Dragon’s Fang Lineage, both of which were far bigger than the jurisdiction of the entire Xia Kingdom. There were bound to be many forces of influence in play and many Dukes involved.

“With your talent, it’s not impossible to reach Duke Stage in a few more years,” Li Rouyun responded.

“Well, I won’t deny that it is quite possible…” Li Luo rubbed his chin and smiled. He firmly believed in this possibility because in a few years’ time, there would only be one of two results that awaited him: attaining the Duke Stage or… death.

“Nonetheless, you have disrupted Zhong Yushi’s plans for the Green Nether Hall with your voting rights. For all these years, he has always relied on such methods to push his ideas through the voting process. I don’t think he will be willing to give up his decision-making rights so easily,” Li Rouyun told him.

“Aunt Yun, what do you think he will do?” Li Luo asked back.

Pondering for a moment, Li Rouyun said, “I think he will focus his efforts into winning over the future Sixth Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall now.”

Hearing this, Li Luo narrowed his eyes for a moment. He had planned to reserve the position of the Sixth Hall Master for Uncle Biao. Uncle Biao had helped out his family immensely and received nothing in return. Although it was not something that could be repaid with the mere position of an official, Li Luo still wanted to do something for him.

“I have spoken to the Respected Elder regarding this matter. He has agreed to let Uncle Biao take part in the selection. However, Uncle Biao has not recovered from his injuries and requires external aid just to reach fourth-grade Duke strength. He is planning to push back the Sixth Hall Master selection for now until Uncle Biao restores his Duke Bergfrieds so that everyone will be convinced when he becomes the Sixth Hall Master,” Li Luo slowly explained.

Li Rouyun nodded in agreement. Indeed, Ox Biaobiao needed to recover his strength, or he wouldn’t last long even if Li Luo pushed him up as the Sixth Hall Master.

“Since the Respected Elder has said so, let’s wait for now,” Li Rouyun replied.

Afterwards, they started chatting about Li Luo’s progress in his cultivation as well as the Green Nether Banner. With a satisfied look, she further commented, “The Green Nether Banner has already reached layer thirty-five in the Fiendish Devil Cave. With a revitalized vanguard team boosting your efforts, your progress will be even faster. You should be able to reach layer forty really soon. At that time, the hall usually gives out a prize. It’s a bountiful reward, so I am sure the morale of the Green Nether Banner will be elevated then. Don’t worry about this, I’ll see what I can do to help you secure the best rewards.”

Li Luo smiled happily in response. It was truly a blessing to know someone at the top lest he had to worry over these things when the time came.

With a change in tone, he suddenly followed up with another question. “Aunt Yun, I heard that once we reach layer forty, we will have the rights to learn the Duke Art of the Dragon’s Fang Lineage.”

Li Rouyun was taken aback by the sudden question, but she smiled and replied, “Yes, as long as the banner reaches layer forty, the Banner Leader will be allowed to learn the Duke Art. Are you interested?”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in a Duke Art that has been passed down by a Heavenly Emperor bloodline,” Li Luo answered. The completed form of the Underworld River’s Black Dragon Banner was said to be a Destiny-grade Duke Art. That would be huge even amongst the Heavenly Emperor bloodlines. Sadly, the art in his possession was lacking in power and could only be considered a Communion-grade Duke Art.

Although this had been sufficient for him all this while, if the opportunity arose, he wanted to learn another Duke Art and create another ace up his sleeve. There were numerous talents awaiting him in this new continent. Sooner or later, he was bound to face off against opponents that were far stronger than people like Zhong Ling.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Rouyun smiled a little as she answered, “If others in the Greater Fiend Palace, or even the Fiend Body Tier, asked me about this, I would have felt that they were being too ambitious and unaware of their own abilities. The difficulty of learning a Duke Art is extremely high, and if you are not gifted, it’s better to not waste your cultivation time on these arts. However, you clearly fall into an extraordinary category. We have many Duke Arts in the Dragon’s Fang Lineage, but they can be generally categorized into two types. The first would be ordinary Duke Arts. The second is unique to the Dragon’s Fang Lineage, known as Dragon Fang-type Duke Arts.”

“The Dragon Fang-type Duke Arts?” Li Luo asked in surprise. “What kind of Duke Art is that?”

“Simply put, the crux of these Duke Arts involves cultivating a Dragon Fang using a special method,” Li Rouyun replied. At this moment, her red lips parted slightly and she blew out lightly. Li Luo could see a small ray of light shoot out from her mouth.

The ray of light whizzed through the air and instantly expanded into a stream of light that hovered around Li Rouyun.

On closer look, Li Luo could clearly see that within the stream of light was a single sharp object. This was obviously the dragon fang she was referring to. It exuded a terrifyingly sharp aura that sliced through the void as it passed through.

Just being in the presence of this sharp aura could cause one to feel as though their soul was being pierced through, sending chills up their spine.

Li Luo was slightly frozen in fear. At this very moment, he could feel that none of his defenses would have worked if this dragon fang had attacked him. Without a doubt, his whole body would be punctured full of holes in the blink of an eye and he would be dead in an instant.

“This is just one of the Dragon Fangs that I am cultivating. No matter how it evolves, the foundation of Dragon Fang-type Duke Arts always starts from materializing Dragon Fangs. Don’t worry about the details, you’ll know once you get there. For now, you just need to think about which type of Duke Art you would like to cultivate,” Li Rouyun explained. Then she inhaled, and the Dragon Fang turned into a strand and disappeared back into her mouth.

Li Luo nodded. At this point, they had nearly reached the bottom of the mountain, so he waved goodbye to Li Rouyun.

The idea of Dragon Fang-type Duke Arts had caught his interest. He would have to quickly conquer the Fiendish Devil Cave, advance forward, and reach layer forty so that he could get his hands on one as well.
