Absolute Resonance Chapter 0750: Green Nether Drill Grounds

Chapter 0750: Green Nether Drill Grounds

The Dragon's Fang Mountain Range consisted of a group of imposing mountains with sharp peaks that pierced the skies, much like the fangs of a dragon. A sharp aura seemed to exude from each and every one of them, seemingly able to slice through the heavens.

Green Nether Peak was one of them.

Within Green Nether Peak were countless drill grounds where the banner was stationed.

Li Rouyun led Li Luo there in the morning. As they approached the drill grounds, they saw countless bluestone camps, sentry towers, and training grounds. Fierce shouts could be heard as the people within trained, and resonant power surges could be felt throughout the area. The drill grounds they were headed to seemed to be filled with immense killing intent that almost seemed palpable as it spilled forth into the surroundings.

"It feels so turbulent here. The heavy atmosphere seems to have congealed," Li Luo said with a hint of shock as he stared at the roiling killing intent within the drill grounds. It was as though the murderous aura had fused together and become a living ma.s.s of dragons and pythons, waiting for an opportunity to erupt with monstrous intent.

"When the eight thousand members of the Green Nether Banner gather and cultivate with the Draconic Breath Fiend Arts, they become one. From what we can see, there is no leader amongst this group of dragons. If a Banner Leader were present and he used a Golden Tiger Seal, that individual could gather the strength of all eight thousand in his body, and this strength would cause Dukes with weaker foundations to scurry away in fear," Li Rouyun explained.

A flicker ran through Li Luo's eyes. This was awe-inspiring. One could channel the strength of eight thousand and even fend off Dukes? He was once again reminded of a Heavenly Emperor Bloodline's terrifying capabilities. Those of the same hall in his previous college could never achieve such an effect. They would have to battle alone, and it was difficult to join as one.

"Let's go. The Green Nether Banner has gathered, and I will present you with the sub leader's seal. It would symbolize your official acceptance as one of the banner's sub leaders."

Li Rouyun waved her hand while Li Luo was still gawking in surprise, and a stream of resonant power enveloped him. The sound of whistling wind filled his ears right after, and a few breaths of time later, the light dissipated, leaving him atop an elevated platform. Before him was a ma.s.sive training ground where flags fluttered under the howling wind. Most importantly, there were countless black shadows standing there silently and at attention.

When Li Luo appeared, he could distinctly feel thousands of sharp gazes cast upon him.

There were hints of curiosity, scrutiny, and dissatisfaction. Their looks seemed to have transformed into a raging wave of pressure that bore down upon him.

If one was not resolute under such scrutiny, they might very well reveal a hint of weakness. Li Luo's expression immediately turned calm after experiencing that initial bout of surprise, treating the gazes of these members like a blowing breeze.

A steadfast will would not be affected by external influences.

At the same time, Li Luo took the opportunity to size up the group. What he focused upon were those standing at the front. There were four individuals that were most outstanding, and they had an uncanny aura to them.

Within the group of four was a dark-green-robed youth who was particularly outstanding. He had a tall and straight figure with his hair falling loosely behind his back. He seemed to be someone who acted freely and easily, but at this moment, he was intently studying Li Luo.

Li Luo had seen the information on the Green Nether Banner yesterday, so he instantly recognized the individual as the first division's sub leader, Zhong Ling.

This was Zhong Yus.h.i.+'s nephew and the strongest contender for the position of Banner Leader.

The other three should also be the sub leaders of the remaining divisions.

These three sub leaders seemed to be looking at Li Luo with looks of curiosity. Li Luo's position was too unique, being the son of Li Taixuan, who was a legend in the banner.

Li Luo's gaze then turned towards a part of the banner that was quieter, and there were three individuals standing at the fore.

The one on the far right was a female. She had a lithe body and a head of wavy, purple, long hair that fell loosely and grazed her b.u.t.tocks. She seemed charming and her peach blossom-like eyes seemed to contain a seductive charm. Coupled with her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s and thin waist, she had an enchanting appearance that could beguile the hearts of men with every expression she made.

This was none other than Zhao Yanzhi of the fifth division.

The one in the middle was a short-haired youth. He possessed an ordinary appearance, but his gaze was pointed, as though his entire being was a sword.

This was Li s.h.i.+, a genius from the side branch of the clan.

Finally, on the left was a burly male. His very presence was like a metal structure, immovable and exuding a sense of pressure.

Mu Bi, the third Silver Fiend of the division.

If Li Luo had not appeared, one of the trio would have been chosen as the sub leader.

It was a pity that Li Luo's arrival had ruined their chances.

The three understood this point, and looks of undisguised enmity were shot towards him. The rest of the fifth division similarly turned towards him with looks of hostility.

Although they knew of his position, having him supplanted into the division as their sub leader after returning from an outer divine continent where he spent his entire life was not a pleasant thought to most of these elites.

The outer divine continents were poor and dest.i.tute lands, so they doubted him even though he had inherited the Hall Master's amazing genetics.

"Everyone, you should all know what's going to happen today. Thus, I will not speak more. From today onwards, Li Luo will be the Green Nether Banner's fifth division sub leader." Li Rouyun's gaze swept across the entire field, calmly announcing her words with an aura of majesty.

Before the vast might of a Duke, even the rebellious youths of the Green Nether Hall couldn't help but bow their heads obediently.

Li Rouyun's interactions with Li Luo had always been as a close kin. It might have caused him to forget that she was the Green Nether's Third Hall Master, and one that should not be underestimated. She exuded a suppressive and indomitable presence.

The Green Nether Hall not only governed the Green Nether Banner, but also a wide swathe of land. They were in charge of two realms in the Dragon's Fang Domain, and the territory far surpa.s.sed even the size of the Xia Kingdom. The population under their jurisdiction was in the hundreds of millions, and amongst them were countless forces as powerful as House Luolan.

As the Green Nether Hall's Third Hall Master, Li Rouyun's every word could drastically affect the lives of the people who lived in their realms.

Even if Li Rouyun was originally a warm and gentle individual, being placed in a position where one could control the lives and deaths of millions would naturally cause her demeanor to change over time.

After Li Rouyun made her announcement, she stretched out her hand and a flash of light could be seen coming from her palm. A silver stone seal appeared within her grasp.

"Li Luo, receive the seal," she continued.

Li Luo respectfully stretched out both hands and retrieved the silver seal from her palm.

Countless individuals looked at the scene with complicated expressions.

The silver seal was the symbol of a sub leader. By receiving it, he would officially become the fifth division's sub leader and lead fifteen hundred soldiers who had to listen to his every command.

This also represented a form of strength.

After receiving the dragon engraved silver seal, Li Luo's gaze turned towards the training grounds and he calmly said, "The new fifth division sub leader, Li Luo, greets his comrades."

The field was a plain of silence as not a single individual responded.

This was especially obvious from the area where the fifth division stood. In fact, there were numerous incensed gazes.

After Li Rouyun announced the succession, she did not seem to have noticed the churning atmosphere, only directly turning towards Li Luo. "You will train in the Green Nether drill grounds. If you have any issues, you can find me at the main mountain. Everything's up to you now," she reminded him.

Li Luo nodded as he understood the meaning behind her words. Although he possessed the position of sub leader, if he wanted to turn the fifth division into his loyal followers, it would be up to him.

If he was unable to rein them in, such news would naturally spread and he would eventually be the b.u.t.t of the joke for every member of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

Perhaps they would not be laughing at him specifically. He was merely someone from the younger generation and was not qualified to receive such attention. The one they would truly mock would be Li Taixuan for producing such a weak son despite his own radiance.

Li Rouyun did not say anything else, disappearing in a flash of light.

The moment she left, the originally silent training grounds had turned boisterous as numerous individuals relaxed.

At the same time, countless pondering expressions turned towards Li Luo.
