Martial Arts Overlord

Going over twelve miles deep, the power of the surrounding astral wind no longer falls short of an attack from a Ninth Layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. Especially the pressure radiating from that giant light column at the center of the vortex grows increasingly terrifying as one approaches.

At this moment, Luo Feng feels his body starting to become heavy, and even the Yuan Qi within his body is becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

With a flicker of his form, Luo Feng avoids a surging wave and stops.

If he continues forward, he might lose control and directly break through to the True Yuan Realm. He had promised Shui Linglong to break through during the New Dragon List Tournament, and now is obviously not the right time.

Whoosh!

With the sound of breaking wind, a figure appears beside Luo Feng—it’s Yang Wanyi.

"You haven’t reached your limit yet. Why give up?" Yang Wanyi asks, knowing Luo Feng well enough to sense he’s not using his full strength.

"Aren’t you the same?"

Luo Feng smiles faintly. Yang Wanyi’s breath is steady, showing no signs of fatigue. From these details, it is clear that Yang Wanyi is still very relaxed.

Yang Wanyi smiles and suddenly looks to the other side, saying, "It seems it’s not just us who have chosen to stop."

Following her gaze, Luo Feng sees that a few thousand meters to the left, Lu Xiao Yun is standing there, not progressing any further.

On the various islands.

"Phew... Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi finally stopped..." someone breathes a sigh of relief.

"It’s insane. Yan Feihua gave up after going less than eleven miles, and they’ve nearly reached thirteen miles. They actually tied with Lu Xiao Yun."

The crowd is abuzz, with discussions focused on Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi.

Inside the vortex, Lu Yun notices Luo Feng’s gaze and his face becomes extremely unsightly.

As the third of the Ten New Dragons, Lu Xiao Yun has always considered himself exceptionally talented, with only one or two people in the Southern Six Golden Palaces being worthy opponents, like Jian Wuji. Yu Bufan, who only has brute strength, counts as half, and he doesn’t even take the fourth-ranked Yan Feihua seriously. Hence, he has always looked down on Luo Feng.

But now, the person he considered insignificant stands on equal footing with him and is the subject of everyone’s discussions. This makes Lu Xiao Yun extremely displeased, almost to the point of madness.

In terms of fame, strength, and talent, what do Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi have to stand on the same level as him?

"A bunch of ants!"

He gives Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi a cold glance, cold as a knife, and then withdraws his gaze. Perhaps to other Golden Palace disciples, Luo Feng has some skill, but in his eyes, he is still insignificant.

"Jian Wuji, it seems there’s no need for us to continue competing. Let’s wait for tomorrow’s New Dragon List Tournament to settle things."

At the front, Yu Bufan hears the surrounding discussions, wears a bitter smile, and turns his gaze towards Jian Wuji.

Originally, he wanted to use this Dragon Rising to suppress Jian Wuji but didn’t expect Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi to overshadow him, making further competition meaningless.

Whoosh!

Jian Wuji suddenly stops, his gaze directed at Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi.

Yu Bufan also stops beside him, his tiger eyes looking in the same direction, saying, "Jian Wuji, what do you think of them?"

Jian Wuji’s pupils slightly constrict, a sharpness flashing in his eyes briefly before he says two words, "Very strong."

Yu Bufan laughs heartily, "This time, I agree with you. It seems this year’s New Dragon List Tournament will be even more exciting than expected. However, the position of the head of the Ten New Dragons will eventually be mine."

Jian Wuji remains silent, only his eyes are extremely piercing.

Hmm?

On the other side, just as Luo Feng is talking with Yang Wanyi, his mind suddenly stirs as he senses a hint of killing intent. Though extremely subtle and quickly contained, it does not escape his perception.

Without a change in expression, Luo Feng glances in the direction the killing intent comes from, raising his brow.

"It’s him..."

He initially thought it would be Yi Wuxue or Lu Xiao Yun, but to his surprise, the source of the killing intent is actually Cold Feifan from the Blood Flower Tower.

"I shouldn’t have any enmity with him. Could it be targeting Yang Wanyi?"

Luo Feng doesn’t doubt his own perception and immediately asks Yang Wanyi beside him, "Wanyi, do you have any grudges with the Blood Flower Tower?"

"The Blood Flower Tower?"

Yang Wanyi looks puzzled, shakes her head, then suddenly seems to think of something, glances at Cold Feifan, and frowns, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing."

Luo Feng smiles faintly and shakes his head. Since it’s not targeting Yang Wanyi, it must be targeting him.

But, he had only met Cold Feifan once, and though there was a minor unpleasantness, it was nothing more than a petty clash, not a deep-seated grudge.

Unable to understand, Luo Feng stops thinking about it. No matter what, that hint of killing intent must not be wrong. He must be more cautious in the future, hoping it’s just a momentary impulse from the other party; otherwise, he won’t hesitate to be ruthless.

Even without having fought assassins before, Luo Feng is confident it wouldn’t be difficult for him to take down Cold Feifan.

Just as Luo Feng’s thoughts are swirling, the rumbling sound shakes all around as the main island finally rises completely from the water.

Looking up, Luo Feng finally sees the full view of Group Dragon Island’s main island.

This is a mountain peak over a thousand meters high, spiraling upward, extremely steep, with the summit protruding towards the sky. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon coiled together—majestic and grand, giving the impression of a true dragon about to awaken and soar through the nine heavens, incredibly awe-inspiring.

"No wonder it’s called Group Dragon Island..."

Luo Feng involuntarily exclaims.

Whoosh...

As the main island rises, the fierce swirling vortex gradually calms down, and the vortex center finally returns to tranquility, with that giant light column gradually retracting, ultimately merging into the entire Group Dragon Island.

With the rise of the main island, it also signifies the end of the Dragon Rising event. All participants who can still stand on the sea surface will obtain official competition qualifications, while those who failed have completely lost their chance to compete, relegated to being spectators.

"The Dragon Rising is finally over. This year’s Dragon Rising was truly spectacular, in no way inferior to the official competition."

"No one probably expected the Linglong Hall to be so powerful this year."

"Indeed, Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi are too formidable. They actually persisted till the end."

"Other Golden Palaces have experts too; many have not shown their true strength yet."

"Yes, this year’s New Dragon List Tournament is undoubtedly the strongest in a century. I’m glad I came; otherwise, I would regret it for a lifetime."

"Stop talking, or I’ll be too excited to sleep tonight. I can’t wait to see the official competition. At that time, geniuses from all the Golden Palaces will surely give it their all. This year’s New Dragon List will definitely see monumental changes."

"Apart from the top three, the Ten New Dragons will likely be completely replaced as well."

As the crowd discusses, the participants who passed the Dragon Rising begin returning to the island.

Along the way, Luo Feng observes that there are around three hundred participants who qualified for the official competition, with nearly half eliminated. This is an extremely terrifying elimination rate, simply chilling!

But it’s not surprising. During the recent competition, many who could have passed the assessment were eliminated due to momentary impulses.

Just like the Azure Cloud Swordsman Qian Shaofeng from the Sky Sword Pavilion, with his strength, he could easily enter the top twenty of the New Dragon List. Yet, for the sake of face, he advanced regardless of the danger, resulting in a single misstep leading to lasting regret.

To Luo Feng’s relief, Nanxuan also passed the Dragon Rising test, indicating that she wasn’t overly ambitious.
