Martial Arts Overlord

Not far from He Qin, Luo Feng also noticed the figure of Instructor Ji Wuyue.

After a few months, Ji Wuyue had advanced from the fourth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to the seventh layer, and was currently controlling his Protective Gang Energy to withstand the impact of the water flow.

Ah!

Suddenly, an exclamation sounded.

A disciple from the Sky Sword Pavilion seemed to have underestimated the power of the water flow’s impact. Without deploying Protective Gang Energy, they entered the vortex and were struck directly by a powerful wave, flung into the air, and repeatedly struck by subsequent waves, spurting out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.

Swoosh!

A giant Gang Qi palm appeared, and an elder from the Sky Sword Pavilion grabbed the unconscious disciple, bringing them to the shore, coolly saying:

"You have lost your qualification, go to the back!"

The previously unconscious Sky Sword Pavilion disciple had regained consciousness, nodded in shame upon hearing this, and walked dejectedly to the back of the platform.

This scene served as a wake-up call for the others.

The Sky Sword Pavilion disciple just now was at the mid-seventh layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm; without deploying Protective Gang Energy, they couldn’t even withstand a single large wave. The power of the water vortex was even more terrifying than imagined.

After the Sky Sword Pavilion came the Yuangang Hall.

"Hahaha, I, Yu Bufan, am here!"

The leading disciple of the Yuangang Hall, Yu Bufan, took the lead, giving Jian Wuji a glance from afar before letting out a long laugh and leaping several miles into the vortex, arms crossed over his chest, seemingly falling freely yet exuding an imposing presence, as if he were not a person but a mountain.

Boom!

The moment Yu Bufan’s feet touched the sea, the entire ocean shook violently, with towering waves of tens of meters rolling in every direction.

"Ah!"

"Retreat..."

"Yu Bufan, you... ah!"

In an instant, screams resounded continually.

Some Sky Sword Pavilion disciples, unprepared for the sudden waves, were directly engulfed; some even had their Protective Gang Energy shattered by the waves, continuously spitting blood.

In just a brief moment, five or six Sky Sword Pavilion disciples were eliminated, losing their qualification to continue in the competition.

"Look, Yu Bufan has taken action."

"Although it was expected, I didn’t think Yuangang Hall and Sky Sword Pavilion would clash so quickly."

"In the past ten years, in each New Dragon List, Yuangang Hall has always been overshadowed by Sky Sword Pavilion. Among the six Golden Palaces in the Six Southern Domains, the grudge between Sky Sword Pavilion and Yuangang Hall is the most intense. In each New Dragon List Tournament, the two Golden Palaces engage in fierce competition, with numerous casualties among the disciples."

"Yes, Yu Bufan, after a year of experience, has reached the late first layer of the True Yuan Realm. At nineteen, this is his last chance to participate in the New Dragon List Tournament; he’ll definitely give his all to claim the position of the first new dragon."

"But Jian Wuji will likely not relinquish the position of the first new dragon so easily."

The heroes from various islands discussed fervently.

As for the higher-ups of the major Golden Palaces, they watched all this with calm expressions.

In the past, there were regulations against killing in the New Dragon List Tournament, but this would undoubtedly restrict the competition between disciples. The tournament is highly significant, so at some point, these rules were abandoned, merely giving verbal admonitions not to take lives.

Seeing the engulfing waves, Jian Wuji frowned, releasing a sharp aura that instantly parted the surrounding water flow. Just as he was about to act, Lu Xiao Yun intervened before him.

"Yu Bufan, you’re too arrogant!"

Feeling overshadowed by Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan, Lu Xiao Yun’s frustration reached its peak, and he could no longer contain himself, stomping forcefully on the water surface.

Wow!

The nearby water suddenly rose into the sky, transforming into a transparent giant water sword that glimmered with colorful light under the sun, exuding a sharp aura.

"Go!"

With a cold shout and sharp eyes, Lu Xiao Yun split the giant water sword into ten, with five slashing toward Yu Bufan and the other five shooting toward the Yuangang Hall disciples in the vortex.

"Humph!"

Yu Bufan snorted coldly, casually punching, shattering the five water swords into nothing.

As the other five water swords threatened to strike the densest area of Yuangang Hall disciples, Yu Bufan didn’t intend to intervene further.

"Mountain Crusher!"

At that moment, a cold shout echoed as Lin Hongyi, clad in fiery attire, appeared in front of the water swords, punching steadily into the water surface.

Under one punch, the vortex seemed to pause momentarily.

Then.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous explosions erupted as the water in front of Lin Hongyi burst open layer by layer, forming a series of massive water peaks connected together, completely blocking the five water swords.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

A nearby Yuangang Hall disciple, startled, came back to his senses, his face full of gratitude.

Lin Hongyi nodded without expression.

"Impressive!"

From the island, someone exclaimed in admiration.

"Lin Hongyi is actually at the peak of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. No wonder she could so easily block Lu Xiao Yun’s attack. In the last New Dragon List Tournament, she ranked twenty-fifth. Rumor has it that this wasn’t her true strength, which seems to be true now."

"This New Dragon List Tournament is truly full of hidden talents!"

The real competition hadn’t started yet, so there was no need to reveal true strength. Lu Xiao Yun cast a cold look at Lin Hongyi and refrained from attacking again.

Lin Hongyi paid no mind to Lu Xiao Yun, her gaze passing through the water’s veil and landing in Luo Feng’s direction, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

From what she knew about Luo Feng, he should have already entered the True Yuan Realm. But that didn’t seem to be the case.

After Yuangang Hall came the Jade Hall.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

In the void, dreamlike figures flickered and moved, gracefully falling into the rushing water, standing quietly on the water’s surface, floating with the current, appearing light and graceful.

"The Qinggong of Jade Hall truly lives up to its reputation; just watching is a delight."

"Yes, Jade Hall’s Phantom Mirage Step is recognized as the number one Qinggong among the six Golden Palaces of the Six Southern Domains! It’s said that once fully mastered, performing Qinggong makes one’s figure resemble skimming light and shadow, real yet illusory, changing endlessly, capable of exhausting the enemy to death."

"For them, this trial is undoubtedly the easiest."

Many were dazzled by the Qinggong displayed by the Jade Hall disciples, offering constant praise.

Amidst the Jade Hall disciples, Luo Feng noticed the figure of Yue Haitang, his gaze involuntarily shifting to another small island.

There stood two striking figures, two disciples of the Sword Tomb.

At this moment, the two Sword Tomb disciples also noticed Yue Haitang.

"Fengfeng, this person has also comprehended Sword Intent and seems to be around your age. Moreover... I feel his gaze bears some similarity to the Holy Swordmaster’s..."

With a calm demeanor, Su Zhuyun scrutinized Yue Haitang, speaking softly.

"Him?"

Jiang Fengfeng glanced at Yue Haitang, noticing his flawless features, her eyes momentarily stunned.

In the Red Flame Desert, she had been angered by Luo Feng’s disregard for her, barely noticing Yue Haitang. Upon careful inspection now, she discovered such a handsome man existed. Even she, usually proud, felt a faint stirring of jealousy at the picturesque appearance.

"Why am I jealous of him..."

Startled by her jealousy over a man’s looks, Jiang Fengfeng’s cheeks flushed slightly, grateful for the veil concealing her face; otherwise, it would be embarrassing.

Glancing at Su Zhuyun and seeing she was unmoved, Jiang Fengfeng sighed in relief and said, "Senior Sister, as I recall, he hadn’t comprehended Sword Intent during our last meeting."

"Hmm, he must have comprehended it recently." Su Zhuyun nodded affirmatively.

Jiang Fengfeng didn’t dare to look at Yue Haitang anymore, saying, "I find he’s nothing like the Holy Swordmaster. Instead, that Sky Sword Pavilion female disciple has a cold face and is very similar to the Holy Swordmaster. Her Ice and Snow Sword Intent is strong and likely comprehended through the Sword Heart Heaven Jade."

Su Zhuyun also thought Jiang Fengfeng made sense, nodding, "Focus more on that Sky Sword Pavilion female disciple, see if she has practiced our Sword Tomb Swordsmanship."

"Yes."

After the Jade Hall disciples entered the water vortex, it was Purple Extreme Palace and Floating Snow Hall’s turn.

Both Golden Palaces had many young experts, including those Luo Feng knew, such as Xue Ziyi and Han Wudao.

Soon, it was Linglong Hall’s turn.
