Absolute Resonance - Chapter 918

Chapter 0918: Obtaining the Dragon’s Head

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Li Qingfeng hadn’t moved at all as his blood pooled on the floor. It was an extremely shocking sight.

Everyone watched silently as no one knew how to respond to this.

Li Qingfeng was so confident in himself when he revealed the Dragon’s Blood Judgment Art. It had caught everyone by surprise, and they all thought that he would obtain an absolute advantage with it. Yet… who could have imagined that he would end up being the loser of this literal bloodbath?

Moreover, Li Luo had not moved a single step from his spot since their exchange of punches to test out each other’s strength earlier.

Li Qingfeng had been severely injured before Li Luo had moved a muscle.

This was an extremely bad spot for someone from the Dragon’s Blood Lineage to be in. Losing half of their blood was an even greater loss than breaking a bone or tearing a ligament.

This was the caveat of using the Dragon’s Blood Judgment Art. If it failed, the user would be struck by harsh backlash.

Li Luo looked at Li Qingfeng helplessly as he said, “Banner Leader Li Qingfeng, why don’t we end it here?”

If he had relied on the second Heavenly Pearl created from his blood, this would have been an uphill battle for Li Luo.

However, Li Qingfeng had ended up gravely injured. He had no chance of winning anymore.𝑛𝑂𝒱𝑬𝑳𝑢𝐬𝒷.𝑐𝑶𝔪

One could even say that his overwhelming advantage had been completely shattered by his hotblooded decision to use the Dragon’s Blood Judgment Art.

Everyone knew that Li Qingfeng simply wanted to show off with this art. However, who would have expected it to backfire on him?

At this point, Li Qingfeng’s face was pale and expressionless. Perhaps he would give himself two good slaps across the face if he allowed his emotions to show right now.

“I will not admit defeat,” Li Qingfeng replied with a hoarse voice. He continued to maintain the air of arrogance around himself.

In fact, there was no other choice left for him. If he admitted defeat here, his reputation in the Dragon’s Blood Lineage would be completely shattered.

Hearing this, Li Luo nodded. He signaled with his hand for his opponent to make his next move.

Li Qingfeng summoned up all his strength to contain his injuries at this moment. His blood-red pearl had completely disappeared along with his loss of blood. In addition, the bright Heavenly Pearl that he had cultivated himself was also getting dimmer.

Nonetheless, he tried his best to keep up.

Along with it, his resonant power surged up once again.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qingfeng exploded like a storm. All the resonant power in his body had been used for this last move. Like a falling meteorite at the end of its trajectory, he launched towards Li Luo with his final strike.

His momentum was not weak, but the sight was tragic.

Regardless, Li Luo did not underestimate him. He gripped his blade tightly and took a step forward.

Thunder rumbled from his body.

“Thunderpeal Avatar, Three Sonic Pulse!

He stored the dragon scale safely with a look of composure.

With the eighth dragon scale in his hands, he had become the person who had obtained the most scales. Since Li Qingfeng was out of the competition, there was no one else who could catch up to him at this point.

In other words, Li Luo had become the Dragon’s Head, leader of this generation of the Twenty Banners.

The surroundings fell silent as everyone was in a daze. The much anticipated battle for the Dragon’s Head did not happen. However, the Dragon’s Head had been decided nonetheless.

To be honest, this conclusion was kind of ridiculous.

It could be the first time in history that the Battle of the Dragon’s Head concluded in such a strange way.

But who could they blame?

Even Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao looked at the stage strangely. There was a surreal feeling to this scene in front of them. Had Li Luo truly become this generation’s Dragon’s Head… so easily?

There was no ultimate showdown like what they had all expected. It was just Li Qingfeng losing half his blood and falling flat.

The two of them glanced at each other. Perhaps this generation’s Battle of the Dragon’s Head would go down in history too. Li Luo could go down in history as the Dragon’s Head who faced the least opposition.

“Did Li Qingfeng do this on purpose? Perhaps he knew that he could not win against Little Brother and wanted to make a mockery out of this battle?” Li Fengyi muttered.

Although her voice was soft, some of the other Banner Leaders nearby heard it and their faces turned stiff immediately.

Li Hongli’s face changed completely and she stared angrily at Li Fengyi.

Seeing this, Li Fengyi pouted and said, “What would you like to say now? Are you going to insist that Li Luo did not obtain the Dragon’s Head properly? I wonder who should be blamed this time. Who asked your side to not fight it out properly and mess around with the Dragon’s Blood Judgment Art?”

Li Hongli nearly flipped when she heard these sharp words. However, she could not think of any rebuttal for them. After all, everyone had seen for themselves that it was Li Qingfeng who had destroyed his own chances.

It was not an exaggeration at all to say that he was the mastermind behind his own downfall.

“So this is how the Battle of the Dragon’s Head ends?” The other Banner Leaders smiled bitterly and sighed. There seemed to be something lacking.

Lu Qingmei stared at Li Luo in the middle of the stage and shook her head lightly. “It’s not the end yet. Li Luo may have gotten eight dragon scales, but don’t forget… there can be a ninth battle.”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard her words. She was right. The Scales Seizure had up to nine battles. It was just that ordinarily, there was little chance of the ninth battle happening. The difficulty of the ninth battle was said to be beyond anyone’s imagination.

Moreover, the Dragon’s Head was usually decided by the eighth battle. Hence, a lot of people would not choose to go for the ninth battle from there.

With that, the once silent atmosphere started to be filled with whispers once again.

“The victor of the eighth battle of the Scales Seizure is Li Luo. He has obtained eight dragon scales, the highest among all competitors. According to the rules, he will be the Dragon’s Head for this generation of the Twenty Banners.”

Surprisingly, there was not much commotion among the crowd when the news came. After all, they had already digested this piece of information earlier.

However, their attention was drawn back once again when the voice echoed in the air.

“Although Li Luo has already become the Dragon’s Head, there are nine battles in the Scales Seizure. In line with the rules and regulations, we would like to ask if you would like to participate in the ninth battle.”

As soon as the speaker finished his sentence, Li Luo narrowed his eyes a little.

“The ninth battle of the Scales Seizure…”
