Martial Arts Overlord

"The ranking tournament is about to start, Luo Feng, you better hurry."

"Yes."

Luo Feng nodded, performing Qinggong, swiftly ascending to his own Dragon Column.

The other contestants on the Hundred Dragon Pillars also recovered from their cultivation at this moment, looking at each other, rubbing their hands eagerly, with intense fighting spirit bursting from their eyes.

Those who could still remain on the Hundred Dragon Pillars were undoubtedly outstanding disciples from each major Golden Palace, each with notable fame in the martial world. Everyone was proud, and the ranking tournament was an opportunity for them to prove themselves.

"Haha... I can finally have a good fight this time, I’ve been holding back all year."

Yan Hu glanced around, clenched his fists, and laughed excitedly.

For him, tournament rankings didn’t matter, what mattered was having a vigorous battle with worthy opponents.

Upon hearing Yan Hu’s words, several contestants immediately looked over, their eyes sharp, secretly vowing: once the ranking tournament begins, they must teach this arrogant one a lesson.

Feeling the heated atmosphere around him, Luo Feng’s blood couldn’t help but ignite, boiling with excitement.

The competitive nature is inherent in every Martial Artist, and he was no exception.

When all the contestants of the ranking tournament returned to their respective Dragon Columns, the Hall Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion descended mid-air above the peak.

Sweeping his gaze, the Hall Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion circulated Yuan Qi and spoke louder:

"Congratulations to all for reaching the Hundred Dragon Pillars, the ranking tournament will now begin. Here are the rules of the ranking tournament, and I hope you all remember them well. If anyone violates the tournament rules, they will either lose their qualification for the ranking tournament or face the punishment of having an arm severed. Remember!"

Saying this, the Hall Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion brought his two fingers together, releasing a golden Qi Force from his fingertips, writing in the air.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

As the Hall Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion’s fingertips danced, golden inscriptions appeared in the void, emitting a faint golden glow, stable as if made of glacé crystal.

Luo Feng carefully watched, these inscriptions recorded the rules of the ranking tournament.

The ranking tournament was divided into five rounds in total, the first four rounds being the advancement rounds. Except for the top ten new dragons of the previous edition on the tenth level, other contestants would have a chance to challenge others in each round. If victorious, they would replace the opponent’s position if defeated, they would keep their current position.

The last round was the placement round, where twenty contestants from the ninth and tenth levels would challenge each other to determine the final ranking, the top ten would be this year’s ten new dragons.

Moreover, only lower-grade three and mid-grade three Spirit Weapons could be used in the tournament, protective Spiritual Artifacts, and any pills or lethal hidden weapons like Bloodlight Thunderbolt Bullets were not allowed. If one voluntarily concedes, the match must be stopped immediately.

"There’s no stipulation against not harming lives..."

Luo Feng scrutinized the tournament rules, glancing back at Leng Feifan.

Leng Feifan’s gaze happened to be directed this way, their eyes clashed, igniting sparks of thunder light and electricity in the air.

"Hmph!"

Leng Feifan’s mouth curled into a cold smile, looking disdainful.

Luo Feng retracted his gaze expressionlessly. With his perception, there was no way he couldn’t notice the murderous intent in Leng Feifan’s eyes.

But, who lives and who dies, remains uncertain.

A moment later, the Hall Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion waved his hand, causing the golden inscriptions in the void to vanish without a trace, and said:

"I hope everyone stops at an appropriate point. Alright, the ranking tournament officially begins!"

Wow!

As the words fell, the islands of Group Dragon Island boiled once again, the heat of the crowd reaching the sky.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

The sound of breaking wind arose as twelve elders from various major Golden Palaces appeared around the Dragon Pillars.

They would serve as the judges for this session’s New Dragon List tournament, responsible for maintaining order in the tournament.

The tournament rules were simple, thus their main task was to prevent anyone from using tricks and to stop those who continued to harm opponents after conceding.

A graceful female elder from the Purple Extreme Palace slowly spoke:

"Advancement round, first round begins. First level contestants, you may start your challenges now."

"I’ll go!"

As soon as the advancement round began, someone immediately issued a challenge.

A male disciple from Yuangang Hall on the first level flickered, leaping onto a Dragon Pillar on the second level.

On the Dragon Pillar was a female disciple from the Jade Hall. Seeing someone challenge her, she held her sword, appearing somewhat flustered, her cheeks turned red.

The Yuangang Hall disciple, seeing his opponent’s expression, crossed his arms and chuckled, "I suggest you surrender voluntarily."

The female disciple nibbled her red lips, shook her head, and said, "Jade Hall disciple Xu Ying, please... please advise."

"Since that’s the case, then be defeated!"

The Yuangang Hall disciple’s eyes flashed, lunging forward fiercely, stepping so heavily that the air under his feet exploded. In an instant, he was in front of Xu Ying, opening his five fingers, and slapping down. The violent Palm Gang caused turbulence in the air within ten meters, creating gales that raged in all directions.

Whoosh!

Just as the Yuangang Hall disciple thought victory was within grasp, a stunning sword light appeared to his left.

Before he could react, the Yuangang Hall disciple felt a chilling sensation on his neck, piercing cold freezing to the bone, and his movements stopped suddenly, eyes widened.

Originally facing him, Xu Ying, at an unknown time, had moved to three steps to his left, holding her treasured sword against his throat, already leaving a trace of blood!

Gulp!

Gazing at the sword’s edge so close, the Yuangang Hall disciple couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Con... concede..."

Xu Ying withdrew her sword, blushing, and performed a sword salute.

The Yuangang Hall disciple, face flushed, cupped his fists, and dashed down from the Dragon Pillar.

Earlier, he saw his opponent appearing delicate and assumed victory was certain, especially considering both had a mid-level cultivation in the Spiritual Rotation Realm eightfold. Unexpectedly, he lost so miserably, without even seeing how the opponent attacked, how could he still have the face to remain?

"The Qinggong from Jade Hall is indeed reputable." Luo Feng touched his chin.

Although Xu Ying had not mastered the Jade Hall’s ultimate technique, ’Mysterious Shadow Step,’ her Qinggong realm was quite commendable. Just at the moment before the Palm Gang hit, she used Qinggong to dodge, then drew her sword, and struck seamlessly, like a flowing cloud and water, giving the illusion she disappeared for a moment and unexpectedly defeating the Yuangang Hall disciple.

The first match concluded, and immediately, the second match began.

This time the fight involved a Yuangang Hall disciple and a Sky Sword Pavilion disciple, one practiced Horizontal Practice; the other used Fast Sword.

Both had equivalent cultivation, one attacked, one defended, battling fiercely, a figure charging through the sky filled with sword light, with every clash erupting in a burst of explosions, and Qi Force scattering everywhere.

After engaging in two to three hundred rounds, the Sky Sword Pavilion disciple, under a storm of attacks, became somewhat disordered in breath, presenting an opening seized by the Yuangang Hall disciple, launching a direct assault that sent the Sky Sword Pavilion disciple, along with his sword, flying off the Dragon Pillar, losing the match.
