Chapter 98: Soul Resonance
With Wu Xian’s fire attribute painted spirit displaying such strength and potential, there might be a chance in the future to rank in the mid-to-upper levels of the Peak God Domain.
Just thinking about it is thrilling.
While the club presidents were each harboring their own schemes, the entire Yaoyang City had already been blown up by the live broadcast footage.
Especially the die-hard fans of the Divine Fire Club, who felt like the sky had fallen.
After all, that was the 【Flame Spirit Fire Girl】!
“The great Flame Spirit Fire Girl lost… lost?”
“No, I can’t accept it! The Flame Spirit Fire Girl actually lost to some no-name scroll painting that came out of nowhere?”
“And she lost so thoroughly?”
“Fake, it must be fake!”
“As everyone knows, live broadcast footage can’t be faked.”
“Hahaha, fire sons, why aren’t you shouting anymore? Weren’t you all popping champagne early just now?”
“Can’t even beat a new club’s scroll painting, and yet it’s a high-tier scroll painting? No wonder they’ve never won a championship.”
“I’ve said it all along, the Divine Fire Club is trash, but no one believed me?”
“Fire sons, say something? Why are you silent?”
Compared to the back-and-forth between fans of various clubs, there were even more rational and calm passerby viewers.
“This scroll painting from the Ghost King Club is pretty fierce!”
“Absolute fire immunity?”
“Impossible, there’s no such thing as absolute immunity in this world; it’s just that the flame status of this one is higher than the Flame Spirit Fire Girl’s.”
“The key isn’t just simple fire immunity; it can also absorb the Flame Spirit Fire Girl’s power for its own use.”
“Strange, isn’t the Ghost King Club an undead system? Where did this scroll painting come from?”
“I just checked their official website, and there’s no related information at all.”
“Doesn’t anyone think this young man is super handsome? Does anyone know him?”
“Holy crap! Quick, go to the neighboring live broadcast room; War Heaven Club’s zombie nephew has come out too!”
“Real or fake? War Heaven Club also deployed a high-tier scroll painting for the match?”
“It seems the major clubs have a lot of hostility toward the Ghost King Club?”
“This debut is getting more and more interesting.”
…
On the other side of the league battlefield.
The squad led by Wang Xiaocong was fighting the War Heaven Club squad over another fortress.
Both sides were locked in a fierce stalemate.
The undead system isn’t very effective against mechanical system monsters, but it’s pretty good against the zombies from the War Heaven Club.
Among them, the painted spirit with an ox head and human body holding a steel fork was the most ferocious.
The physical body strength that the opponent’s zombie scroll paintings prided themselves on was nothing in front of the Ox Head Yin Marshal; the Ox Head Yin Marshal faced three at once, beating the three zombie painted spirits into steady retreat.
Of course, the other team members’ Ghost King scroll paintings performed well too, just not as eye-catching as the Ox Head Marshal.
“It’s still the Ten Great Yin Marshals from the vice president that deliver!”
“Zi Hao is awesome, flatten them!”
“Haha, save up money later to buy a 【Ox Head Yin Marshal】, and we’ll soar right away!”
“Not good, what is that?”
“Everyone, be careful,” Wang Xiaocong was struck back far by a brute force and shouted in alarm: “War Heaven Club is unleashing their big move.”
“Holy crap, isn’t that War Heaven Club’s 【zombie nephew】?”
Contrary to normal logic, War Heaven Club’s zombie series gets stronger the lower the generation rank.
Therefore, the zombie nephew has always been War Heaven Club’s high-tier scroll painting.
The zombie looked short and small, but its combat power was extremely fierce, with resentment and corpse qi condensed into liquid flowing all over the zombie nephew’s body.
The silver armor on Wang Xiaocong’s chest cracked several fissures after just one punch.
“Kids from the Ghost King Club, compared to our War Heaven Club, you’re still too green!”
The Ghost King members all rushed forward to join hands against it, but they were still beaten into steady retreat by the zombie nephew.
Until Zhang Zihao controlled the Ox Head Yin Marshal to join the battle.
The Ox Head Yin Marshal charged forward like a wild ox, immediately smashing the zombie nephew flying, then swung the steel fork and chased after the zombie nephew to strike.
“My spiritual power is running a bit low.” Zhang Zihao said anxiously, “Brother Hu!”
The teammate called Brother Hu instantly understood, and the 【Three-Eyed Ghost King】 beside him shot a wisp of ghostly light from the third ghost eye on its forehead; Zhang Zihao’s spiritual power instantly began to recover.
After his spiritual power recovered, Zhang Zihao was full of confidence, “With just this bit of power, it dares to compete with the Ox Head Yin Marshal?”
The Ox Head Yin Marshal up front grew fiercer in battle, its power aura echoing remotely with the spiritual power in Zhang Zihao’s body, vibrating at the same frequency.
In an instant, the already dominant Ox Head Yin Marshal became even stronger, with its power climbing steadily.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Live broadcast rooms across the board were flooded with viewers’ stunned barrage messages.
At the Ghost King Club, Xue Lingling, who was watching the live broadcast, suddenly stood up in disbelief: “What… resonance?”
What a joke?
How long had this little guy been in the club? His spiritual power was only tier 2, and he had already achieved soul resonance with the scroll painting?
“Hiss~ Where did my good disciple find such a little guy?”
The so-called soul resonance refers to a soul synchronization achieved between a spirit tamer and a scroll painting.
Once achieved, it can break through the 90% power limit of 【instance】 scroll paintings, and with increasing resonance levels, even exert the instance scroll painting’s power to over 100% strength.
At the same time, such players also bring a large amount of high-quality “inspirational energy” to the scroll painting’s original creator.
This is also the core reason for selecting suitable candidates with scroll paintings.
Xue Lingling stared dead at Zhang Zihao in the footage, dying of envy.
She had auditioned so many players, and none had achieved soul resonance yet, but her good disciple found some little guy from who knows where and achieved it so casually?
No, is this reasonable?
It’s understandable that her good disciple’s brain is different from ordinary people, but for players under him to achieve soul resonance is purely about luck and destiny.
Heaven-defying talent is one thing, but does his luck have to be heaven-defying too?
…
On the side of the major club presidents, they were similarly stunned by this scene.
“Damn it, how did it even achieve soul resonance?” The War Heaven Club president had a stiff expression.
“In my view, even without resonance, your zombie nephew was in trouble,” the War Maniac Club president analyzed seriously: “That minotaur painted spirit is truly formidable in terms of power; it’s not at all like the power a common scroll painting should have.”
“That kid only has tier 2 spiritual power, right? And he’s already achieved soul resonance with the scroll painting?”
You know, most of their major clubs only started seeing high-quality players with soul resonance in the Silver Tier League.
Only a very few top-tier players could achieve resonance during the Copper Tier League.
But the Ghost King Club had just debuted!
This was no longer a matter of strength; it was purely good luck.
To say they weren’t envious would be fake.
As scroll painters themselves, if they encountered such a player, they could wake up laughing from their dreams.
…
League battlefield.
While most people were still focused on Zhang Zihao’s side, Wu Xian had quietly completed the fortress defense mission.
Outside the massive fortress, mechanical monster wreckage was everywhere.
This mechanical army had been cleared clean in advance by the Winged Fire Star Lord.
Boom boom boom…
Other major fortress directions were still rumbling with battle.
Wu Xian grinned at a few shining light spots in the sky, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned all the prepared Ten Great Yin Marshals copper scroll instances at once, with the Chicken King and Guardian Tiger beside them as mascots.
He also adjusted the Ghost King Club badge on his chest for the camera.
Facing the live broadcast lens, facing the masses of Yaoyang City, letting the Ten Great Yin Marshals make a group appearance.
There are a thousand ways to do sales promotion; why stick to one?
Even if the Ten Great Yin Marshals hadn’t performed much, they could still attract viewers’ attention.
As long as he could build his fame as this scroll painter, establish a reputation for excellent scroll painting quality, the scroll paintings in his hands could still sell big, right?
In Wu Xian’s view, this match wasn’t just the Ghost King Club’s debut.
It was also his debut as a grassroots original scroll painter!
