Chapter 80: Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Wheel (1/2)

Bedroom.

Sunlight filtered in through the window, landing on Li Luo's back. He had a jade-tablet scroll in his hands, held up to his brow. His eyes were closed as he flipped through it. [1]

On the jade-tablet scroll was the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art that his parents had left him.

A long time later, he finally opened his eyes. He massaged his brow lightly. Despite his fatigue, his eyes were full of fire.

Li Luo had been looking forward to his second acquired resonance for a long time.

As he finally started to get familiar with the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art, Li Luo was starting to realize just how hard it was to get acquired resonances.

The Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art was made of many materials imbued with various strands of energies that were forged into the required object. For example, in order to forge an acquired fire resonance, one would need to find all sorts of fire-energy materials and then use a special method to forge and temper them until their varied energies reached harmony. And then one would need to use blood essence from one's own spirit soul to activate it. Finally, you would have produced a passable acquired resonance.

The most tedious part of this process was accumulating the materials, and the repeated calibrations to find a harmony.

In other words, the Godly Forging Art was not just a labor of skill, but also one of hard work.

After reading the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art, Li Luo knew that much of his remaining years would be spent on this.

But the good news was that Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had left some notes at the back of the jade-tablet scroll detailing some of their past attempts. This was valuable experience that could help Li Luo save precious time, something that he barely had.

Most importantly, they had left him a hint. It was a suggestion that perhaps it would be good if the primary attribute of his second acquired resonance was wood.

The reason for this was tied to the blood essence and lifespan that Li Luo had lost in gaining his first acquired resonance. Although the waterlight resonance could help replenish losses, for safety's sake, a wood resonance was a good insurance policy.

This was because a wood resonance would not only have restorative properties, it would also have detoxifying properties. It would further boost his survivability. With water, wood, and light resonances, any damage that Li Luo took would no longer hurt his core.

”Wood resonance, eh...”

Li Luo lapsed into deep thought. He had originally thought to choose an offensive second resonance. But his parents had suggested the wood resonance. He would have to adjust his thinking.

Well, his waterlight resonance had been sufficiently modified, and he was getting by offensively. Perhaps a primary wood resonance would be workable.

Besides, the wood resonance was more about control. He could explore that further. First trap his opponent, then make them a pincushion for his arrows.

Still, that didn't seem very fitting. Maybe he would be seen as a sadist who loved torture...

Regardless, he already had handsome looks. No need to care about how he looked when he fought.

Li Luo made his decision. Channeling resonant power to his palm, he pressed it on the jade-tablet scroll.

Twang!

A beam of light shot out from the scroll, pouring out before expanding. Finally, it took shape as a six-colored wheel of light.

On the wheel of light, there were many holes. 128 of them, to be precise. One side had 86, the other 42.

The one with more holes was the primary, the one with less was the secondary.

And in the center of the wheel was a curious indent with many arcane patterns running out from it.

This was the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Wheel.

This was a support item that was crucial to getting an acquired resonance. It was fairly tricky to make, definitely way beyond Li Luo's current abilities. Luckily, his parents had left him one.

If he wanted to forge his second acquired resonance, he would have to gather all sorts of materials and learn special methods to distill them. Finally, he would have to fill the holes on the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Wheel. When both sides were fully complete, he would have to add his own spirit soul and blood essence to finish it.

Li Luo stared at the six-colored light wheel for a long time, then he shook the jade-tablet scroll to stow it away.

If wood was going to be the primary attribute, what about the secondary? How should he choose?

He sat in front of the hearth, deep in thought.

The harsh rays of sunlight gently transitioned into the dull red of evening.

Li Luo finally exhaled deeply and put brush briefly to paper. He wrote two words.

Wood.

Earth.

This was the best he had come up with. Primary wood, secondary earth.

Woodearth resonance!

Since wood's specialty was in control, then it should be honed to the fullest. The best support for a wood resonance was an earth resonance.

Their synergy would further reinforce the control he could bring.

Besides, both water and light would synergize quite well with a wood resonance as well.
