Watching Yang Wanyi standing within the furious column of fire, the usually aloof Gu Xifeng revealed a slight expression of surprise and murmured:
"It seems that Yang Wanyi has undergone unimaginable changes during her recent training. We have all underestimated her strength..."
Within the fire column, Yang Wanyi stepped toward Wei Nanye, her exquisite beauty now causing a chill in Wei Nanye’s heart. He hurriedly spoke:
"Yang Wanyi, if I have offended you with my words earlier, I am willing to compensate with Yuan Stones, one hundred thousand second-grade Yuant. No, one million second-grade Yuan Stones..."
Yang Wanyi’s face was frosty as she stopped five steps ahead of Wei Nanye and calmly said:
"As we wander the rtiad, some rumors are inevitable. So, I am not bothered by your words."
Upon hearing this, Wei Nanye felt a relief, but then Yang Wanyi’s cold, ethereal voice sounded again.
"However, what qualifications do you have to belittle Luo Feng? People like you do not deserve to discuss him. For those few words you said, you can repay with your left hand."
Whoosh!
While speaking, a cluster of crimson-gold flames leapt from Yang Wanyi’s right index fingertip, swaying in the void as if it had a life of its own.
Seeing Yang Wanyi’s cold gaze, Wei Nanye’s heart tightened, and he shouted instinctively, "I... Ah!"
The moment he spoke, the flame at Yang Wanyi’s fingertip turned into a fire blade, flashed in the void, and Wei Nanye’s entire left arm instantly lost sensation, the severed arm burned to ashes by the fierce fire. His remaining words of surrender turned into a shrill scream.
"Ah... I... I forfeit!"
Another disciple from Sky Sword Pavilion saw Wei Nanye rendered disabled, nearly lost control and quickly withdrew from the competition in fear.
Yang Wanyi had no intention to continue attacking and glanced at the unconscious Wei Nanye, softly pressing her red lips:
"There is only one person in this world whom I would call husband. And it is not you."
Whoosh...
The fire column disappeared, and Yang Wanyi’s figure vanished from the scene. After a long while, the water curtain rejoined.
The originally lively twelve islands fell into a peculiar silence.
"This woman is truly powerful!" After a while, someone exclaimed.
"Indeed, only a few months before the hunting tournament, she has mastered the eighth level of the Daluo Burning Demon Art! Wei Nanye is one of the top thirty on last year’s New Dragon List, yet he had no resistance against her. It’s unexpected for Linglong Hall to have such a master appear; undoubtedly, Yang Wanyi is Linglong Hall’s number one this year, even Yan Feihua may not be her match."
"Wei Nanye is truly miserable, a swordsman losing both hands is essentially a cripple. Apparently, his words to Yang Wanyi were very offensive."
"Humph, he brought this upon himself. Such a scoundrel, it’s considered merciful she didn’t kill him. Yang Wanyi has shown restraint."
Many were intimidated by Yang Wanyi’s earlier Thunderbolt-style techniques.
Beside the waterfall.
Shush! Shush!
Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing displayed their Qinggong and swiftly ascended toward the peak.
As they got closer to the top, gravity became increasingly strong, and the water flow became unpredictable; some contestants who arrived early had to slow down at this point.
"Huh, how can they still be so fast?"
Someone noticed the approaching Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing, and saw them ignoring the obstruction of the astral whirlwinds, speeding like lightning, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before their words finished, Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing had already zipped past. The water surface near them seemed unaffected by the invisible force, without any ripples.
"So fast! What’s going on."
"Those whirlpools don’t attack them."
"Could they be unaffected by Profound Weight Gate?"
"Ah!"
A scream rang out; a contestant who assumed the waves had calmed was suddenly torn away by a whirlpool that had reappeared. The chaotic astral winds in the air made it impossible for him to stabilize, causing him to quickly fall downward.
Witnessing this scene, others exchanged glances, no longer daring to try, just watching Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing with envy.
Their ability to travel smoothly was all thanks to Xia Yunjing’s Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue.
The gravity within Profound Weight Gate was already unusual; Xia Yunjing used Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue to increase the weight of the water. The nearby water flow was like steel, naturally unable to cause any ripples.
Without whirlpool obstruction, their speed reached its limit, constantly surpassing others.
Soon, they reached the end of the waterfall.
"We’re here."
Xia Yunjing’s eyes sparkled as she summoned a stream beneath her feet. It seemed as though she was riding two water pythons, speeding upward.
Boom!
Luo Feng stamped on the water, his figure soared against the sky. As he passed over the waterfall, he felt a lightness in his body, landing on the peak.
The peak was a vast plaza. Looking around, each corner of the plaza was engraved with various murals, showing fearsome beasts and auspicious creatures like the Kylin and white crane, while a hundred massive stone columns stood in the middle.
Each column was several feet high, surrounded by floating clouds, engraved with True Dragon patterns, baring fangs and claws, ascending through clouds, exuding an ancient aura, making it seem alive.
This sight stirred a profound shock in Luo Feng’s heart; the True Yuan dragon vein within his Dantian seemed eager to break free, soar in the nine heavens.
"Luo Feng, let’s also go to the dragon pillars," Xia Yunjing said to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng snapped out of it, nodded, and replied, "Alright."
At this moment, several silhouettes were already standing on some of the hundred dragon pillars.
Besides Jian Wuji, Yu Bufan, and Lu Xiao Yun, there were also Lin Hongyi, Yan Feihua, He Qin, Yan Hu, and Leng Feifan. As Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing reached the peak, all eight looked over.
Leng Feifan looked down upon Luo Feng from a high position, his gaze cold, letting out a snort from his nostrils.
Lu Xiao Yun similarly assessed Luo Feng; these three hurdles were no small challenge, especially Profound Weight Gate. Martial Artist cultivation wasn’t crucial here; it tested overall martial prowess. He hadn’t expected Luo Feng to ascend so quickly.
"Haha, Luo Feng, you’re too slow, I’ve been here for a long time!"
On one dragon pillar, Yan Hu patted the Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger beside him and laughed proudly at Luo Feng.
On another pillar, He Qin said expressionlessly, "You only arrived five breaths of time before Luo Feng."
Yan Hu scratched his head and laughed, "Is that so? It felt much longer to me."
Lin Hongyi gave a gentle smile and said to Luo Feng:
"Luo Feng, over here."
At the same time, she felt puzzled; given Luo Feng’s strength, he should have reached the top much earlier, yet he arrived after Leng Feifan and others.
Luo Feng nodded and, in the next instant, appeared on a dragon pillar beside Lin Hongyi.
