Martial Arts Overlord

"Taking Xiaoyun out for a stroll?"

Upon hearing Yan Hu’s words, a smile appeared on Yanmei’s charming face as she looked towards the red giant tiger: "Xiaoyun, is that right?"

Woo...

Facing Yanmei’s gaze, the red giant tiger dared not meet her eyes and lowered its massive head.

Yan Hu’s expression froze slightly, glaring at the red giant tiger with disappointment and scratching his head. He chuckled wryly to Yanmei, "For the past six months, I’ve been in seclusion, focusing hard on my cultivation. You should have seen it all. Lately, I’ve felt like I’ve hit a bottleneck in my training, so I thought of going out, changing the environment, and seeing if I could break through."

Yanmei’s alluring red lips curved into a smirk as she crossed her arms before her chest, "Xiaohu, you sneaked out last time and the tribal elders grounded you for a year. If they find out you’re trying to sneak out again today, I won’t be able to help you. Come back with me."

"I’m not going back."

With these words, Yan Hu frowned, controlled the red giant tiger to retreat a few steps, and resolutely said to Yanmei, "I won’t hide it from you. I’m going to the Canglang Dynasty for the New Dragon Tournament. I have a duel with Luo Feng, a disciple from Linglong Hall, and I must win against him. You stopping me is useless."

As he spoke, Yan Hu placed his hand on the red giant tiger’s back, which crouched slightly, ready to leave at any moment.

Yanmei stroked the feathers of the Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle beside her, smiling, "I knew you had this plan. You’re our Wild tribe’s man. You should act with purpose; why hide it?"

Yan Hu’s eyes lit up with joy, "Second Sister, you’re not here to stop me?"

"Now you call me Second Sister?"

Yanmei clapped her hands and laughed, "Men should have ambition. Besides, going to the New Dragon Tournament will allow you to encounter young talents from the Hundred Nations. It’s good for your future training. Why would I stop you?"

"Thank you, Second Sister!" Yan Hu rejoiced.

Yanmei smiled helplessly, her gaze suddenly sharp, "Xiaohu, you’re representing our Tiger-head Tribe in the New Dragon Tournament, so you must stand out. You must earn the title of one of the Ten New Dragons, or I won’t let you off."

Yan Hu snorted, "What’s the Ten New Dragons compared to Luo Feng? My only opponent in this tournament is Luo Feng."

Yanmei was about to remind Yan Hu not to underestimate others when she recalled seeing Luo Feng in Red Mysterious City. She said, "Oh, I saw Luo Feng once when I was chasing Evil Saber."

"Second Sister, what do you think of him?" Yan Hu asked eagerly.

Yanmei thought for a moment before saying, "Though young, his strength is outstanding. In our Tiger-head Tribe, he might not be considered a top genius, but he’s certainly talented. Moreover, he’s calm in the face of challenges, lacking any arrogance despite his achievements. Such temperament is truly fearsome, even surpassing his gift. If nothing unexpected happens, his future accomplishments will be limitless."

Yan Hu laughed loudly, "If even Second Sister says so, then Luo Feng indeed is extraordinary! Seems I chose the right rival."

"Don’t just be happy."

Yanmei glanced at Yan Hu and cautioned, "Last time I saw Luo Feng, he’s already a Martial Artist at the ninth tier of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, with formidable vitality. He’s not someone to be taken lightly."

"Hahaha... don’t worry, Second Sister, I’ve not been playing around this year."

Yan Hu laughed heartily, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit as two intense blood-red beams shot forth from his gaze.

Roar!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar pierced the skies. The once quiet red giant tiger’s aura surged violently, merging with Yan Hu’s energy. Its tiger eyes glowed like two flaming red lanterns, exuding an overwhelming presence.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

As if affected by an invisible force, the ground around the person and beast began to crack. Trees within a hundred-zhang radius were shredded into pieces by the rampant Demon Qi.

Riding the Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle high above the ground, Yanmei glanced down at Yan Hu with a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes. Then she smiled, "I see you’ve reached this level. You’re more than capable of battling the bright talents of the Canglang Dynasty."

Retracting his aura, Yan Hu grinned, patting the red giant tiger beneath him and said to Yanmei, "Second Sister, I’ll be off now."

"Wait."

The Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle flapped its wings, blocking Yan Hu. Yanmei jumped to the ground, shaking her head, "Xiaohu, you’re still so reckless. From our Southern Forest to Canglang Dynasty’s Group Dragon Island is tens of thousands of miles. Even if the Leiying rushes relentlessly day and night, you might only reach the island half a month later. By then, the New Dragon Tournament will long be over."

Yan Hu’s face changed. He hadn’t considered this at all, and after thinking, he commanded the red giant tiger, "There are seven days until the start of the New Dragon Tournament. Xiaoyun, you must reach Group Dragon Island within seven days."

Woo...

The red giant tiger let out a low growl, shaking its massive head.

"It’s a must! Otherwise, no meat for a whole year!" Yan Hu growled in frustration.

Watching the red giant tiger droop its head, Yanmei sighed, "Don’t trouble it. I’ll have Leiying take you to the Canglang Dynasty. Seven days should be enough."

"Leiying, how did I almost forget about it."

Yan Hu looked at the Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle nearby, his face lighting up with joy, "Thank you, Second Sister!"

Chirp!

In an instant, a fierce eagle’s cry pierced the sky as a massive shadow soared upwards, shooting towards the north.

"In less than a year, you’ve reached this level. It seems having Luo Feng as an opponent is indeed fortunate for Xiaohu. The Grand Elder must have realized this, which is why he personally gave Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor to Luo Feng..."

After glancing at the massive crater on the ground, Yanmei watched the rapidly departing shadow in the sky, muttering to herself.

For a Martial Artist, a good opponent is sometimes more valuable than a high-level Cultivation Technique.

...

Yao Light Lake, on a rocky island.

A figure sat cross-legged facing the gently flowing lake water.

A large red spiral of Demon Qi rose from his body, five flaming fox tails formed from dense Yuan Qi extending behind him. Four appeared real, while one was merely a faint illusion, flickering between reality and illusion in the blaze.

His eyes were closed, but under the firelight, his delicate features exuded an indescribable presence, as if he were a pine tree standing atop a peak, unshaken by the passage of time over centuries.

This was once the domain of Demon Beasts at Yao Light Lake, where slaughter was a constant occurrence.

Yet, within several dozen miles surrounding the lake, the surface was eerily calm, devoid of any sound, as if all creatures had hidden themselves away.
