Absolute Resonance Chapter 1106: Ancient Spirit Leaf

Chapter 1106: Ancient Spirit Leaf

More and more students from the Upper Hall gathered in the huge leaf square as time pa.s.sed. The atmosphere of the place was reaching its peak.

These students had a lot less restrictions. Therefore, some of them travelled throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent for training. It was rare to see all of them gathered in once place, so many curious students from the lower halls had gathered to catch a glimpse of them. The square was bustling with activity and noise as everyone talked about these legendary figures. Li Luo also had the chance to see the real foundation of an ancient college with his own eyes.

In a certain sense, the blood and essence of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's efforts was gathered on this square. In the future, some of these people were sure to become Dukes.

Some of those Dukes would leave the Heavenly Origin Ancient College one day and venture out. Regardless of where they ended up, they would always have the mark of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College left on them. As for those that would stay behind, they would likely end up as mentors and further strengthen the foundation of the college.

It was still hard to tell if any of them would end up as Kings. Reaching that level would require talent, potential, and opportunity, none of which was dispensable. So the future was unknown, even if they possessed a ninth-grade resonance now.

As Li Luo sighed in his heart, a bell rang in the square. Lights fell from the sky and transformed into leaves that hovered in midair.

The three vice princ.i.p.als and other elders from the school were standing on the leaves.

"All the students partic.i.p.ating in the mobilization mission, please fall in line!" Lan Lingzi's voice echoed into everyone's ears as her eyes scanned the area.

The people around the large square hurried about. After a while, everyone a.s.sembled neatly into their teams.

Some teams were lacking a few members. Most of these teams were from the sage colleges as they had failed to find a suitable leader. Seeing this, Lan Lingzi gave an instruction, and mentors from the college hopped down instantly. They quickly regrouped the students and made sure everyone was in an appropriate team.

"Dear students, today's mission is much more dangerous than any mission you've partic.i.p.ated in in the past. Simply put, this is a battle between the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion," Lan Lingzi told them in a serious tone.

Everyone's faces froze for a moment. Ordinary lower grade Others were peculiar, but they had no mind of their own; they would simply act according to their instincts. However, there were many higher grade Others in the shadow world that pulled the strings and formed their own forces. Some of these terrifying forces were called Dominions.

Each Dominion had a leader that was at least a Triple Crowned King, which was the pinnacle of the King Stage. Also known as Lesser Emperors, Triple Crowned Kings reigned supreme at the top of the world as long as no Heavenly Emperor was around. Many of the students present had experience fighting Others. However, it would be their first time fighting against a Dominion.

Although what they were facing was just a projection of the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion, it was still an extremely dangerous and frightening mission.

"Currently, the Princ.i.p.al, the other vice princ.i.p.als, and many of the elders are fighting against the All-Beings Devil King and his subordinates and arts. We have reached a stalemate, so our mission will decide if we can emerge victorious.

"The mission for you all is very simple. You need to destroy the Devil Heart Pillars in the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion. These things are the crux of the All-Beings Devil King's ploy. They are made of human skin, and the more human skins they have, the stronger each Devil Heart Pillar becomes. As such, they're cla.s.sified into several different grades, namely the Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Skins. Last but not least, remember to protect your own bodies in the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion. Do not let any Others come into contact with your skin! If any of them touches you, cut that part of your skin off along with the flesh immediately. Otherwise, your skin will be corrupted and there will be a horrifying transformation awaiting you!"

When she mentioned this, her eyes turned really serious. Many students felt a chill in their hearts. Ensure that there was no contact with their skin? The d.a.m.ned Others had such weird methods that it made one's skin tingle.

After giving the stern warning, Lan Lingzi waved her sleeve. Countless green lights fell down like rain and landed onto the backs of the students' hands, turning into jade-green badges shaped like a leaves.

"These are Ancient Spirit Leaves. They use the Tree of Resonant Power as their core to form a huge network. Once you enter the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion, you will receive a lot of information from your Ancient Spirit Leaves. They can also help you locate nearby Devil Heart Pillars. The Ancient Spirit Leaf has many uses; it can sense the area you all are in and issue temporary missions. At the same time, it also lets you check the list of achievements. The more achievements you obtain, the greater the final reward will be."

Li Luo looked down at the green leaf on the back of his hand, flowing with mysterious runes. He sent a little resonant power into it, and a green light shone out, forming a screen above the back of his hand. However, the screen was currently blank as there was no information to be shared at the moment.

He could tell that Feng Lingyuan, Jiang Wanyu, and the others were not surprised to learn about this. It seemed like this was not their first time using Ancient Spirit Leaves.

"Dear students, this mission is very dangerous, so there are bound to be casualties. However, this is our responsibility as members of the Academic Federation. Since the formation of the Academic Federation, countless generations have fought to their deaths in the Umbra Cave and shadow world. Nonetheless, we believe that one day, we'll be able to end this darkness forever," Lan Lingzi said with a serious face. Her voice echoed in the sky about the large square, and all the students became more serious too.

"May fear be gone!"

"May we live long!"

All the students placed their fists on their chests and their voices echoed in the air.

Lan Lingzi formed a seal with one hand and, all of a sudden, the large square began shaking violently. In the center of the square, green vines grew out and twirled together in circles, forming a pa.s.sage filled with mysterious waves.

The pa.s.sage of vines continued to overlap and extend until it eventually tore the void apart. One end of the pa.s.sage went directly into the void, and it seemed to have connected to an unknown area.

Lan Lingzi, Qing Man, and Wu Yu inspected the pa.s.sage of vines at this juncture. Once they made sure that everything was fine, they took a look at each other and nodded.

"Everyone, you may enter the tunnel now. Once you've pa.s.sed through, you'll be at your destination!" Lan Lingzi said.

All the students' faces turned nervous once again.

Feng Lingyuan breathed out softly. She turned towards Li Luo and the rest and said, "Let's go. Keep your guard up. No one knows the situation behind that tunnel. Remember, don't touch anything."

Everyone nodded with a serious expression.

After that, Feng Lingyuan took the lead and entered first. She walked into the giant pa.s.sage of vines that looked like a ma.s.sive python.

Li Luo, Jiang Wanyu, Lu Ming, and the rest followed her.

When they disappeared into the tunnel, the world s.p.a.ce around them began twisting. Slowly, their figures disappeared without a trace.

More teams walked into the tunnel, maintaining a somber mood.

On the side of the square, the students from the Lower Star Hall who were not involved in the mission watched on. They lowered their heads slightly and whispered the words of faith by the Academic Federation.

"May fear be gone."

"May we live long."
