Martial Arts Overlord

Having figured out the Water Screen Gate, Luo Feng looked up ahead and spotted Xia Yunjing.

Whoosh...

Arriving before the water curtain, Xia Yunjing lightly waved her fair hand, and the surrounding water was drawn toward her, condensing into a blue water sphere about the size of a person.

The blue water sphere touched the water curtain and seemed to fuse with it, gliding through with effortless ease.

Seeing this, Luo Feng’s brows lifted. "This should be the Chaos Ten Thousand Water Jue Shui Linglong mentioned. What a marvelous Cultivation Technique..."

Very soon, Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi also reached the island’s base.

"Husband, I’ll go on ahead."

Yang Wanyi gave a charming smile, leaped up in a single bound, and rushed into one of the passages.

Sss!

Flames traced a domineering trail through the air. While still midair, a ring of crimson-gold fire surged up around Yang Wanyi’s body. Any water wave or water curtain that drew near was vaporized in an instant, even the reefs on both sides of the passage showing signs of melting.

The sight immediately drew a wave of exclamations along the path.

"Slash!"

Luo Feng entered an empty passage, his speed undiminished. When he reached the blue water curtain, he directly turned his palm into a saber, slashing down through the air.

Sss!

Saber Qi flashed through the void and vanished. The dozen-odd layers of water curtain at the passage entrance split cleanly in two, and Luo Feng strode straight through the center.

"Using the palm in place of a saber, yet wielding such power!"

Everyone who witnessed this wore looks of shock.

A single layer of water curtain possessed defensive power equivalent to the Protective Gang Energy of a Martial Artist at the early eighth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. With a dozen layers stacked together, its defensive power would not be inferior to the Protective Gang Energy of a Martial Artist at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Given Luo Feng’s Cultivation, if he used Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber to unleash a Saber Technique and split a dozen layers of water curtain with one cut, people would not be too surprised. But to use his palm as a saber, with the Saber Technique’s power greatly diminished, and still achieve this—now that was truly unbelievable.

From the Water Screen Gate to the second gate, the Wandering Dragon Gate, there were more than a hundred layers of water curtain. The peak-level young talents passed through with ease, but most people were trapped here, each person striking with full force, breaking open the water curtains layer by layer, advancing extremely slowly. Some hadn’t even broken through the first layer.

"This is only the first gate, and the difficulty is already this high..."

"No wonder. This year’s contestants are unprecedentedly strong. If the difficulty were too low, it would be like nothing to most of them. How would you tell who’s superior? Those who can’t pass also understand they’re just here as foils..."

Some marveled at those who passed with ease; others felt a grudging admiration for those who were attacking the water curtain with all their might yet still couldn’t move an inch.

Ten layers!

Thirty layers!

Sixty layers!

One hundred layers!

Luo Feng activated Sky Cloud Step, surging forward like a spear through bamboo. He skimmed along the surface of the cascading water; the water curtains were casually cleaved apart by his hand, utterly incapable of halting his steps.

Ten breaths later, Luo Feng’s figure suddenly came to a halt.

There were no more water curtains blocking the way ahead, and the passage widened. Torrents of water cascaded down from the heavens, seemingly without any danger.

But that was only on the surface. Luo Feng could sense faint ripples from beneath the water face—very subtle, yet undeniably there.

His gaze flickered. Luo Feng lightly tapped the water surface with the ball of his foot and shot across above the rushing flow.

Just at that moment—

Boom!

The surging waterfall suddenly began churning violently. A massive stream of water shot skyward, forming into a transparent water dragon that lunged at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was already prepared. He threw out a punch, and crimson fist force smashed squarely into the water dragon’s head.

Bang!

The water dragon shattered, breaking into countless streams that poured back into the waterfall.

"Its attack power isn’t strong, only equivalent to a Martial Artist at the early eighth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

Luo Feng made his judgment in an instant.

Boom!

Just then, the waterfall suddenly shook violently. Waves exploded, and water dragons roared out one after another—well over a dozen of them, filling the space as they charged him together.

Luo Feng answered with another punch, blasting apart the dozen water dragons. Looking at the waterfall churning even more fiercely, he mused:

"So that’s it. The first gate, the Water Screen Gate, is a test of a Martial Artist’s attack power; this Wandering Dragon Gate, unsurprisingly, should be a test of a Martial Artist’s reaction and adaptability."

From what he’d seen so far, the water dragons of the Wandering Dragon Gate would reappear after being slain, essentially without end. To pass this gate, there were clearly only two options:

The first was to use Qinggong, adapting on the fly, slipping through the gaps between the water dragons’ strikes. The water dragons appeared and attacked with extreme speed. If one chose this method, one’s eyesight, willpower, adaptability, and Qinggong all had to be exceptionally strong; otherwise, the slightest lapse would result in being encircled by the water dragons.

The second option was to force a direct breakthrough. But doing so would incur tremendous expenditure. A single water dragon’s impact was nothing much, but dozens, hundreds of water dragons striking together would be no small burden even for a Martial Artist at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

This was only the second gate. If one consumed too much here, one might not endure through the third gate, the Profound Weight Gate.

The two methods each had their pros and cons; which to choose depended on what the contestants were best at.

Luo Feng chose the first method. This way, he could keep consumption to a minimum. The nature of the third gate’s trial was still unknown, and he still had to guard against Leng Feifan, so it was better to be cautious.

Swish!

At the instant the water dragon appeared, Luo Feng’s figure also vanished from where he had been.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

As he advanced further in, the water dragons appeared faster and faster, weaving between heaven and earth into a massive net that made people despair, sealing the sky and blanketing the sun, seeming to leave no gaps.

Of course, that was merely an illusion.

Luo Feng searched for the spaces between the water dragons, his figure weaving and turning among them, darting and gliding. Every time the spectators thought he was about to be swallowed by the swarm of water dragons, he had already appeared hundreds of meters away, and what they struck was merely an afterimage.

From this alone, one could see that he was maintaining incredible speed even while dodging the water dragons’ assaults.

"What astonishing Qinggong. Under such dense water dragon attacks, he’s still keeping the same speed as before!"

"Mm, in terms of Qinggong realm, among all contestants present, the only ones who might surpass him are the geniuses from the Jade Hall who have cultivated Phantom Mirage Step."

"With the strength Luo Feng is displaying now, he’ll definitely make the top ten and become one of the Ten New Dragons. The only question is what rank he’ll take."

"Top eight is within reach. Top five is also possible, just not very likely. Look—Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan, each one is freakishly strong, and there’s Blood Flower Tower’s Leng Feifan and that young expert from the Wild tribe; none of them are ordinary. Those alone take up six or seven spots. And that’s not counting the veteran Ten New Dragons, the existing New Dragon List experts."

"Exactly. This year truly deserves to be called the most glorious New Dragon List in a hundred years. There are just too many experts..."

"Enough talk, look—Luo Feng is about to reach the third gate. Once all three gates are finished and the Hundred Dragon Pillars’ hundred New Dragons are set, we’ll know who’s strong and who’s weak. The ranking battle will make it clear with one try."
