Martial Arts Overlord

All disciples from the various Golden Palaces began preparing to enter the water vortex.

Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi walked side by side, trailing at the end of the Linglong Hall team.

"Why are you arriving so late? I thought you might miss this year’s New Dragon Ranking Tournament."

Yang Wanyi arrived just in time, allowing Luo Feng to let go of his concerns. He asked.

Yang Wanyi’s bright eyes looked at Luo Feng, her gaze shimmering. Her red lips suddenly drew close to Luo Feng’s ear, whispering in a voice only the two could hear:

"Husband, have you been worried about Waner all this time?"

Feeling the gentle warmth of Yang Wanyi’s breath, Luo Feng’s heart subtly shifted, a wry smile emerging within. This woman who doesn’t play by the rules is truly elusive.

Seeing Luo Feng’s slightly embarrassed look, Yang Wanyi smiled gently: "During this time, I was training with my father in the Red Shura Gorge. An unexpected change occurred, causing a bit of a delay."

Luo Feng nodded, "What about your father? Why didn’t he come to Group Dragon Island?"

"He’s concerned about Dayang City’s safety, so he sent me to the Gale Extreme Domain and then returned."

"Gale Extreme Domain..."

Luo Feng’s eyes flickered. So Yang Wanyi had also crossed the sea.

Glancing at Yang Wanyi, Luo Feng chuckled, "Waner, your strength has improved greatly during this time."

"The same goes for you."

Yang Wanyi smiled mysteriously, her lips curling into a hint of arc, saying: "In this New Dragon Ranking Tournament, your ranking will probably be behind mine."

"So confident?"

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow.

Yang Wanyi’s pretty face lifted into a faint smile, confident and mysterious. Her pristine right palm suddenly flipped, and a thread of fiery golden flame burst forth, growing increasingly refined.

This flame...

Luo Feng looked at the fiery golden flame, his heart slightly tensed.

This thread of flame, ever ready to extinguish, gave him a feeling as if it were a living entity. The aura it contained was countless times stronger than the Evil Qi he felt in the Red Flame Desert, making one’s skin crawl.

"Just what encounter did this girl have in the Red Shura Gorge..."

Whoosh...

Blinking her long lashes, Yang Wanyi flipped her hand, causing the fiery golden flame to instantly vanish, smiling brightly: "Husband, I’m serious this time. If you encounter me in the competition and don’t show your true skills, you may lose very badly."

Luo Feng shook off his distraction, smiling calmly: "Your progress is indeed significant, but to surpass me, you might still be a bit short."

Seeing Luo Feng’s confident expression, Yang Wanyi raised her fine eyebrows.

She knew Luo Feng’s perception was astonishing, so she deliberately released the aura of the Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame, intending to see Luo Feng surprised, yet he remained so composed.

In an instant, Yang Wanyi felt a surge of interest and a bit of competitive spirit, eagerly anticipating a battle with Luo Feng.

The group arrived at the edge of the platform. At this moment, Luo Feng noticed a colossal shadow rising gradually from underwater within the pillar of light at the vortex’s center.

"It turns out the main island of Group Dragon Island is underwater; Dragon’s head lifting means the main island rising." Using Soul Power to sense it, Luo Feng immediately understood the key to it.

Yan Feihua turned back and looked at all the participating disciples from Linglong Hall.

"Many of you are participating in the New Dragon Ranking Tournament for the first time. Let me explain here. Dragon’s head lifting lasts for one incense stick’s time. During this period, we must stay in the vortex; otherwise, we will be deemed failed, losing the qualification to continue the competition."

Seeing some minds wandering, Yan Feihua’s brows furrowed slightly, sternly saying:

"Don’t underestimate this water vortex! Tests in the New Dragon Ranking Tournament are adjusted based on the participating disciples’ strength. This year, the minimum cultivation of participating disciples is the Spiritual Rotation Realm seventh-level Martial Artist. The power of these waters is at least equivalent to an attack from a Spiritual Rotation Realm seventh-level Martial Artist; the deeper you go, the stronger it is. Moreover, with the mutual influence of the twenty-four Yuan Spirit Veins, the Yuan Qi in this space is extremely chaotic. You can exert seven or eight parts of your usual strength inside, if lucky. Caution is necessary."

Upon hearing this, many people’s expressions changed.

The water’s power, even at its weakest, is equivalent to a Spiritual Rotation Realm seventh-level Martial Artist! To stay in the vortex for half an incense stick’s time, this is akin to fighting among a group of Spiritual Rotation Realm experts, without a chance to rest.

Some female disciples participating in the New Dragon Ranking Tournament for the first time showed tense expressions, with their palms already beginning to sweat.

They hadn’t expected the first test of the New Dragon Ranking Tournament to be this challenging. Even those without hope for the tournament’s rankings didn’t want to be eliminated at the first hurdle.

Regarding the water vortex’s power, Luo Feng was already aware, feeling only concern for Nanxuan.

Nanxuan is still at the peak of the Spiritual Rotation Realm sixth level. Even though her combat power is impressive and she can challenge across levels, the quality and quantity of her Yuan Qi are surely different from those of a seventh-level Martial Artist, making this test extremely difficult for her.

However, as everything in the New Dragon Ranking Tournament depends on oneself, he couldn’t offer much help.

The sequence of Dragon’s head lifting is based on the results of the previous New Dragon Ranking Tournament, with Sky Sword Pavilion ranking first and Linglong Hall last.

Swish, swish, swish...

In the void, dazzling sword light streaked and flashed. Many disciples from Sky Sword Pavilion had already entered the water vortex, including Jian Wuji and Lu Xiao Yun.

Whoosh!

The air was split. From the direction of Sky Sword Pavilion, a snow-white figure leaped into the air, the fierce aura causing the surrounding air to cool significantly within several miles.

Many eyes were drawn.

The snowy-clad woman was He Qin. Stepping on her treasured sword, she flew through the air, shooting into the water vortex at lightning speed, without hesitation or pause midway.

Crunch...

The moment the sword touched the rapidly flowing water, an astounding scene unfolded.

The water flow around He Qin instantly crystallized into ice, and she stood upon it, her skirt fluttering, as if walking on level ground, the roaring water seemingly having no impact on her.

"Impressive, worthy of being one of the newly promoted Three Heavenly Swords from Sky Sword Pavilion. With continued growth, she will one day match Jian Wuji and Lu Xiao Yun."

"I think she’s already catching up."

Those noticing He Qin exclaimed, and some disciples from the Golden Palace revealed envious eyes.

In terms of appearance and temperament, He Qin is an unmatched beauty, with clear eyes and a tall figure. Her distinctive aura belonging to a swordsman is displayed vividly in her, ethereal and refined.

"After a year, her Sword Intent has reached this level..."

Regarding He Qin’s strength, Luo Feng wasn’t too surprised. Among the people he has met, He Qin is not the most innately gifted swordsman but definitely the most diligent. It’s likely this dedication to the Sword Dao allowed her to comprehend the Ice Sword Intent.
