Absolute Resonance-Novel2

Chapter 1122: Jiang Qing'e, Wu Changkong

As Ning Meng spoke, shocking amounts of light resonant energy swept out of her body like a storm.

The light resonant energy shot into the sky and formed a gigantic diagram that released an endless amount of light. A giant black and white beast materialized in the light. It let out a deep howl that shook both the heavens and the earth.

The gloomy ambience that filled the forest was immediately erased by the light.

The eyes of those with black coffins changed slightly when they saw this. At this instant, they sensed a terrifying pressure from the cute girl before them.

This pressure was even stronger than that of their comrades with blood coffins.

"Ninth-grade Light Chaser Beast resonance."

The masked girl with the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff looked up at the Light Chaser Beast that covered the sky. From the looks of it, Ning Meng's Heavenly Resonance Diagram had exceeded ninety thousand feet. This was an astonishing foundation. The Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier was all about compatibility between one's resonance and the world. By connecting the two, one could absorb even more worldly natural energy to strengthen oneself. The trademark of the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier was the Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal, while the identifying factor of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier was this, the Heavenly Resonance Diagram.

The masked girl's eyes flashed coldly, filled with murderous intent. Ning Meng was truly a fearsome foe. However, venturing here alone was reckless of her.

Was it a good idea to finish her off here?

The masked girl contemplated this decision. If they were to make use of this chance to finish Ning Meng off here, what price would they have to pay? The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1(j)n.

After thinking about it for a moment, she gently crossed that idea off. Now was not the best time to clash with her. Besides, the other teams from the two colleges would surely hurry over after seeing Ning Meng's diagram.

It would be better for her to find another chance after entering the Humanskin Flag Plains. At that point, the Evil Spirit Dominion would become her ally.

With this decision in her mind, the masked girl waved her hand gently to signal a retreat.

"Escaping?!"

Ning Meng smiled when she saw that. She gently tapped the ground with her toes, and the land shook violently. Then she soared thousands of feet up into the sky. At the same time, a pillar of light with a shocking amount of light energy fell down from the gigantic Light Chaser Beast Diagram.

The pillar of light landed on the rod in Ning Meng's hands, bestowing terrifying physical prowess to her tiny body.

Equipped with both immense light energy and tyrannical physical prowess, she swung her rod, delivering a blow like a deity of light. It created a torrent of light energy that rained down on the figures with black coffins.

The targets felt a chill running through their hearts. Their hands subconsciously shifted onto the coffins on their backs, as if they were ready to release something at a moment's notice.

However, the masked girl struck first. A black mist flowed out of her palms, turning into a roiling, gooey, icy substance that had something strange swimming within it.

The black mist flowed past like a giant python swimming by, swallowing up all the individuals with black coffins.

In the next instant, the black mist rapidly sank into the ground, fusing with it as everyone disappeared.

The rod bursting with light energy finally hit the ground with tremendous force.

Boom!

The whole mountain range shook violently. Half of the forest was flattened instantly. A gigantic rod stood firm at the epicenter of the blow with cracks spreading out like spiderwebs.

Ning Meng's slender figure landed on a cracked boulder. One of her hands was still holding onto the bamboo cup, and she continued to drink from it with big mouthfuls. "They sure do run fast."

The way that her foes had retreated was indeed strange. Her attack had covered such a large area, yet she was unable to restrict their escape in any way.

She stretched out her hand, and the gigantic rod shot back towards her as it shrank. The sheer speed of the returning weapon caused a sonic boom before it was back in her hands, then she stowed it behind her back

At this moment, more booms thundered through the sky as figures appeared one after another.

"Big Sister, we've found you at last!"

"What happened here?!" They were the teams that had gathered in this district. All of them they looked at the devastated forest in shock as landed around Ning Meng.

Ning Meng took a glance at them and asked with disappointment, "Little Jiang'e isn't here?"

The students from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College shook their heads.

"What about Little Yu? If Little Jiang'e isn't here, I have to look for her," Ning Meng asked.

The students smiled bitterly. She only thought of Yue Zhiyu if Jiang Qing'e was not around. In the end, it was a good thing that she wasn't present. Otherwise, she might very well have erupted with anger.

"Sigh. Forget it."

Ning Meng sighed when she saw their reactions. "I ran into a strange group of people earlier. You all have to be very careful when we enter the Great Plains later. I sensed an ominous and dangerous air from them."

Everyone was startled to hear Ning Meng's warning. Although she always appeared sloppy, no one doubted her strength and capabilities. Since she felt that they were a threat, these opponents were not to be underestimated.

More surprisingly, why had yet another mysterious faction appeared in the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm?

The entire mission was spiraling out of control.

......

Many teams from the two ancient colleges had gathered on a towering cliff.

Surrounded by many people, Wu Changkong stood on the edge of the cliff. He looked ahead with a solemn expression. There was a huge basin before him. In the center was a giant city covered with thick, white fog. The city was silent, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce.

"Brother Wu, this place gives me the chills. We'll all have to rely on you," some of the team leaders from the other teams said to Wu Changkong courteously as they withdrew their eyes from the giant city.

Hearing this, the others agreed as well.

Wu Changkong smiled warmly and replied, "We all have a common goal; it's only right that we work together. Don't worry, guys, I will protect everyone to the best of my ability."

The crowd was almost filled with tears of gratitude when they heard this.

Standing beside Wu Changkong was a pretty girl named Xu Xi. When she sensed the gazes looking towards Wu Changkong, she turned to him in admiration and fawned over him. "Brother Changkong, I think you'll be able to reach the top of the scoreboard once we complete this mission."

Wu Changkong smiled back at her. "We can't underestimate the others. Ning Meng from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College has a ninth-grade Light Chaser Beast resonance. She definitely has an edge over me when it comes to dealing with these creatures. Besides, there's still the current top..."

Wu Changkong could not help but sigh when he thought about Jiang Qing'e, the girl that currently held the top spot. "I heard that she has dual ninth-grade light resonances. Her potential is truly unparalleled. Just where did the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College pick her up?"

"Dual ninth-grade light resonances..." Xu Xi was startled to hear this as well. She understood how terrifyingly talented that was. Even though she had always admired Wu Changkong, she could not deny that this girl was far ahead of him.

As they continued to chatter, they suddenly sensed a commotion coming from the back of the cliff. Some of the teams' attention turned towards the source immediately.

Noticing this, Wu Changkong also turned around. His expression turned into one of surprise.

To their surprise, yet another team was walking over. It was being led by a stunning beauty who stole all the limelight. She was shining like an angel descended from the heavens. Her delicate face was like a flawless jewel while her eyes flowed with a mysterious, golden luster. One could not help but fall head over heels by simply peering into her enchanting eyes.

Wu Changkong had seen plenty of beauties as the top student in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. However, he was completely taken aback by this enchanting girl upon laying his eyes on her.

When he heard the voices coming from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College students, his heart skipped another beat.

"Is she the dual ninth-grade light resonance wielder, Jiang Qing'e?!" Wu Changkong's eyes lit up. He had always held extremely high standards for girls, but at this moment, his heart started throbbing uncontrollably.

Some people were so extraordinary that others would shield their eyes upon a mere glance.

Perhaps the throbbing in his heart was a sign of mutual attraction between two talented individuals!

Wu Changkong recalled something. His grandfather, Wu Yu, had high hopes for him, so he had always reminded him that whoever he fell in with in the future had to be approved by the family before they could get together.

With two Kings, it was indeed a respectable family, so no ordinary girl would be able to earn their approval. Therefore, he had not put much thought into affairs of the heart. His heart had not moved even with Xu Xi by his side; the only thing he cared about was her rare support-type resonance. However, he could not hold back his emotions back when he first laid eyes on Jiang Qing'e.

"If it's her, even my proud grandfather would approve with a big smile, right?" As he thought about all this, Wu Changkong could not help but laugh at himself. He understood that his heart had been captured by this stunning beauty who also possessed otherworldly talent. Otherwise, why would he even be dreaming of such things?

Wu Changkong's eyes changed and he quickly calmed himself down. He took the initiative and walked up to the girl with a warm smile on his handsome face.

"I didn't expect to be blessed with the opportunity to meet Junior Jiang, the top ranked on the leaderboard. I am Wu Changkong from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. I am sure our next mission will be completed with ease now that you're here."

With a bright smile, he stretched out his hands towards Jiang Qing'e in a friendly manner.

However, Jiang Qing'e did not extend her hand in return. She looked calmly at Wu Changkong for a moment and then gave a light nod. Then she walked past him towards the edge of the cliff and studied the giant city in the basin.

Wu Changkong's feelings did not change much even though Jiang Qing'e had walked past him. His smile was still gentle. He was in no hurry. Rather, he had started to look forward to the mission.

After all, a dangerous situation was the perfect chance to get closer to her.

Jiang Qing'e was truly spectacular. Her presence was so brilliant that even he could feel it. However, he did not feel ashamed of himself like others normally would. Rather, his fighting spirit was aroused.

After all, Wu Changkong believed that he was just as outstanding.

He walked over to Jiang Qing'e once again, intending to take the opportunity to exchange information and speak with her more.

At the same moment, Jiang Qing'e turned towards him. She looked at him with her mysterious, golden eyes, and her red lips parted when she asked, "Top ranked Wu Changkong, I would like to ask for information about someone. Would you be able to help me?"

Wu Changkong responded passionately, "Of course, Junior Jiang! If I know anything about them, I'll tell you everything."

A trace of longing appeared on Jiang Qing'e's delicate and charming face at this moment. She said softly, "His name is Li Luo. From what I know, he's come to the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm with the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

"He... he's my fiance."

Hearing this, Wu Changkong's warm smile suddenly iced over.
