Martial Arts Overlord

On the island are many buildings, showcasing the style of Linglong Hall, with an ancient charm from their renovations, and are surrounded by blooming exotic plants, making the scenery picturesque.

Luo Feng, led by a female disciple, arrived at a vacant and exquisite courtyard.

The courtyard, uninhabited for years, was unexpectedly neat and clean, sparing Luo Feng the effort of tidying up.

After seeing off the guiding junior sister, Luo Feng wasted no time, consumed a spirit pill to recover Yuan Qi, and sat cross-legged in the courtyard to adjust his breathing.

The scorching sun gradually rose higher until it was soon noon.

Whoo...

Waking from his trance, Luo Feng attempted to circulate his Yuan Qi, and instantly, a surging power accumulated within him, immense and mighty.

Boom!

A casual punch was thrown, shattering the air with circle after circle of ripples expanding outward from him, causing a wild wind scattering throughout the courtyard.

"Not bad, I’ve recovered about seventy to eighty percent,"

Slightly exhaling, a hint of delight appeared in Luo Feng’s eyes.

He felt his Yuan Qi had become more solid, likely due to crossing the vast sea and maintaining a high level of focus over time, allowing his cultivation to unknowingly advance.

"This counts as an unexpected gain."

After a moment, Luo Feng’s mood settled, he freshened up, and prepared to head to the Water Dragon Platform.

Opening the courtyard gate, Luo Feng looked up to see Ling Qingwu.

"I was just about to call you, it’s almost three quarters past noon." Seeing Luo Feng, Ling Qingwu greeted.

Luo Feng nodded, "Let’s go."

"Qingwu, how is your recovery?"

Walking side by side on the main road, Luo Feng inquired.

Ling Qingwu said, "I’ve recovered fifty to sixty percent, I should fully recover by tonight, it won’t affect tomorrow’s New Dragon Ranking event. What about you?"

"Seventy to eighty percent."

"Seventy to eighty percent?"

Upon hearing that, a trace of surprise flashed in Ling Qingwu’s bright eyes.

At sea, it was always Luo Feng fighting the Demon Beasts, expending much effort, while she followed him relatively easily; unexpectedly, Luo Feng recovered faster than she did.

Before long, the two arrived at the Water Dragon Platform.

The Water Dragon Platform is a large stone platform on the southernmost side of the island, surrounded by water on all sides. Only a stone path connects it to the island, with railings engraved with patterns of fish, insects, birds, beasts, and auspicious creatures like dragons, phoenixes, and kylins, ancient as if weathered through countless years.

"It’s said that Group Dragon Island has existed since ancient times, enduring millennia. Countless talented youths have risen and fallen here..." Feeling the ancient aura emanating from the stone carvings, Ling Qingwu commented involuntarily.

"Hmm."

Luo Feng nodded, also feeling a sense of awe.

Even a Martial Artist in the True Yuan Realm lives only for two hundred years, and those in the Yuan Sea Realm at most three to five hundred years. Compared to the merciless passage of time, it’s just a drop in the ocean.

"I wonder how long the lifespan reaches for realms above the Yuan Sea Realm..."

A thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng."

"Senior Sister Ling Qingwu."

At this moment, without realizing it, the two had ascended the Water Dragon Platform, where the disciples of Linglong Hall saw them and greeted them in unison, their words full of respect.

Luo Feng nodded in response, sweeping his gaze, and asked, "Has Yang Wanyi arrived on the island?"

A female disciple shook her head, "No news from Senior Sister yet."

Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows, looking up at the sky.

It’s almost three quarters past noon; if Yang Wanyi doesn’t arrive soon, she might miss this year’s New Dragon Ranking event.

Shui Linglong stepped out from the crowd, glanced at Luo Feng and Ling Qingwu, and smiled:

"Go to the front. The momentum of the New Dragon Ranking event is important. Let the other Golden Palace disciples and those Jianghu experts witness the prowess of our Linglong Hall geniuses."

"Yes, Second Hall Master."

The two responded and proceeded to the front.

Luo Feng glanced at the other islands; in front of each island was a high platform. Apart from the islands of the six major Golden Palaces, the platforms of the other islands were crowded with people, teeming everywhere you looked. Fortunately, the platforms were spacious, so even with tens of thousands present, it didn’t feel cramped.

"I never expected our Canglang Dynasty to have so many Four Spirit Rotations experts."

Luo Feng recalled how in Panlong City, even one Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artist appeared godlike. Now, on these island platforms, the number must reach into the hundreds of thousands!

Bear in mind, these Martial Artists are all above the fifth level of the Four Spirit Rotations.

The merging of the essence and energy of these hundreds of thousands of Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artists creates a powerful aura, and under Luo Feng’s soul perception, a vast rainbow of energy shot straight into the sky, clearing the clouds.

If these hundreds of thousands were to act together, they could instantly annihilate even a powerful being in the Yuan Sea Realm, unless they fled at the very start.

Hearing Luo Feng’s reflection, Shui Linglong, leading in front, spoke:

"It’s no big deal. Our Canglang Dynasty comprises twelve territories, each home to billions, while throughout the entire dynasty, there are barely a million Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artists. Out of every ten thousand people, one might not even be a Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artist."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. Panlong City housed hundreds of thousands, yet not even one Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artist was present. The path of Martial Arts is indeed arduous. Without superior talent, fortune, and resources, one might never take that step for a lifetime.

While speaking, the three arrived at the very front of the Water Dragon Platform, where dedicated stone chairs were provided for the Golden Palace disciples to rest during the competition.

"Junior Brother Luo Feng, over here."

Yan Feihua and Xia Yunjing were seated in the front row. Seeing Luo Feng and Ling Qingwu, Yan Feihua waved at them.

Luo Feng walked over briskly with Ling Qingwu.

The Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artists have excellent eyesight; even though each island’s platform is separated by twenty to thirty li, they can clearly observe one another’s conditions.

As Luo Feng and Ling Qingwu appeared, a buzz of discussion arose.

"Look, it’s Ling Qingwu of Linglong Hall’s Shuang Jiaoyang! Hey, there’s also a young man beside her; could it be Luo Feng!"

"Indeed, it’s him. Rumor had it he was killed by Blood Demon Sect disciples in the Red Flame Desert, but it seems it was only a false report."

"Wow, he’s already at the peak of the Four Spirit Rotations ninth level; how did he progress so quickly!"

"In the last hunting event, he ranked fourth in the individual achievements chart. He must have started cultivating earth-level techniques. With such swift advancement, it’s likely he used heavenly materials to forcefully enhance his cultivation. If that’s the case, his foundation might be unstable, and his real combat power is uncertain."

"That’s true. I was originally looking forward to his match with Lu Xiao Yun. But now that Lu Xiao Yun has stepped into the True Yuan Realm, there’s no suspense in their duel anymore."

"Hmm. It seems Linglong Hall is in danger this year. Sky Sword Pavilion and Yuangang Hall both have True Yuan Realm experts in command, and Yan Feihua is unlikely to retain the fourth seat in the top ten of the new Dragon Ranking."

"Top four? Even the top ten is at risk. There are many new talents this year. In Sky Sword Pavilion alone, Yi Wuxue is already a peak Four Spirit Rotations ninth-level Martial Artist, and He Qin, who has grasped the Ice and Snow Sword Intent. Her Sword Intent is said to be near Great Accomplishment, and Yi Wuxue couldn’t last ten moves against her."
