As Xia Yunjing successfully challenged, the elder in charge of the competition from the Sky Sword Pavilion swept his gaze over the contestants on the eighth level and asked:
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?"
No one responded.
By this time, everyone was very clear about the strength gap between the eighth and ninth level contestants. Wanting to succeed in the challenge and advance to the ninth level was almost hopeless.
Just when everyone thought the eighth-level competition was over, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I challenge Luo Feng!"
Group Dragon Island fell into an eerie silence, and all eyes turned towards the direction of the voice. They were all taken aback when they saw who spoke.
The one who issued the challenge was none other than Shi Zhong, ranked seventh among the eight new stars.
"What’s going on? Shi Zhong wants to challenge Luo Feng? Although he ranks seventh among the eight new stars, he’s no match for Luo Feng, right?"
"Could he be hiding some powerful move?"
"No matter how powerful the move is, it’s impossible. From the previous matches, Luo Feng is not lacking in any aspect, and even his cultivation is two realms higher than Shi Zhong’s. If Shi Zhong challenged Xia Yunjing, he might have a slight chance, but against Luo Feng, there is simply no chance of winning."
"Hmm. He might have some plan."
Everyone was extremely surprised by Shi Zhong’s challenge to Luo Feng, and discussions arose everywhere.
Swoosh!
The sound of breaking wind rose, and Shi Zhong’s figure flashed, appearing on the dragon pillar where Luo Feng was.
Luo Feng looked at Shi Zhong, vaguely guessing the reason why he would challenge him.
Shing!
Shi Zhong flipped his wrist, and a palm-width black long saber appeared in his hand.
"Luo Feng, I know I’m not your match right now. However, you are the most outstanding saber man in this session of the New Dragon List Conference, and I don’t want to miss the chance to duel with you."
Hard-to-come-by opponents, Shi Zhong, upon seeing the battle between Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing, knew this was a rare opponent, wanting to improve his saber technique cultivation through dueling with Luo Feng.
Raising his head, Shi Zhong looked at Luo Feng and said, "A little reminder, my Grand Momentum has already reached the four-layer realm."
"What, Shi Zhong has actually comprehended Grand Momentum and reached the four-layer realm!"
"So it seems he wasn’t serious when he was dueling with Liu Changfeng."
Both Grand Momentum and Sword Intent are extremely difficult to comprehend, and progressing is even more challenging. Among the top young generation contestants at the Hundred Dragon Pillars, less than ten percent have comprehended Sword Intent and Grand Momentum, and even fewer have reached the Small Success realm. It’s extremely rare for someone like Shi Zhong to train Grand Momentum to the four-layer realm.
On one of the dragon pillars on the seventh level, Liu Changfeng clenched his fists tightly, his face pale.
Shi Zhong didn’t use his Grand Momentum when dueling him, meaning the opponent never took him seriously from the start, which left him feeling stifled.
Luo Feng understood Shi Zhong’s intentions, also wanting to test the opponent’s Grand Momentum. Drawing Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, he said, "Make your move."
"Please guide me!"
Shi Zhong didn’t say much, immediately activating Grand Momentum as he finished speaking.
Suddenly, a majestic and overwhelming momentum spread out, causing the air on the platform to flow strangely, with clouds in the sky gathering towards this area.
"Reverse Water Ascending Heaven Slash!"
As the momentum reached its peak, Shi Zhong immediately unleashed his strongest strike, slightly lowering his face, leaning forward slightly, holding his saber with both hands, and slashing towards Luo Feng with a strike that fused with the Grand Momentum.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble...
The power of this saber strike was unprecedented; the entire peak’s aura was affected, and under the gaze of everyone, a whip-like knife light shot out, surrounded by towering waves of virtual images tens of meters high, slamming into each other with a thunderous roar that was extremely domineering, as if it would crush everything in front of it.
Within the coverage of the Saber Intent, Luo Feng remained calm and composed, staring at the incoming knife light.
"Break!"
As the knife light approached within ten meters, Luo Feng’s gaze flickered, merging a hint of Grand Momentum into Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber and slashing out straight with an incomparably condensed knife light shooting out.
This knife light looked ordinary and not as domineering as Shi Zhong’s knife light, but in everyone’s perception, the momentum was far superior.
If Shi Zhong’s Saber Intent was a small wave in the river, then Luo Feng’s Saber Intent was a gigantic wave in the sea,
Thud!
The intent realm within Shi Zhong’s saber technique was first severed, and then the knife light was torn apart like water flow and vanished into thin air. With a clanging sound, a slash mark over an inch deep appeared at Shi Zhong’s feet.
The crowd was silent for a long time.
"So Luo Feng has also comprehended Grand Momentum. The momentum of that slash just now was astonishing. Shi Zhong’s Grand Momentum, already at the four-layer realm, was unbeatable before him."
"Hmm. I suspect that Luo Feng’s Grand Momentum may very possibly exceed the four-layer, reaching the five-layer realm, or even the six-layer! When he demonstrated his saber technique just now, I almost couldn’t maintain my composure."
"Grand Momentum at the six-layer realm? Yu Bufan, ranked second in the top ten new dragons, has his Grand Momentum at only the seven-layer realm. Could Luo Feng possibly be that terrifying?"
Many were amazed by the two knife lights just now. Whether on the twelve small islands or among the contestants on the Hundred Dragon Pillars, everyone was eagerly discussing it.
"To have also comprehended Grand Momentum, and seemingly at a not low realm, interesting." Yu Bufan looked at Luo Feng, feeling slightly surprised.
He himself had also comprehended Grand Momentum and knew the difficulty of improving the Grand Momentum realm. From the Small Success realm onward, every layer of improvement in Grand Momentum posed significant difficulty. Without outstanding comprehension and some opportunities, it’s impossible to improve in a lifetime.
Lu Xiao Yun was also scrutinizing Luo Feng, looking very upset.
He didn’t expect that in just one year, Luo Feng’s strength had unknowingly grown to such a level. Although he’s not yet a threat now, in another year or two, it will be hard to say.
"Hmph!"
A glint of icy light flashed in Leng Feifan’s eyes, remaining silent.
On the platform, Shi Zhong glanced at the slash mark beside him, unable to help taking a breath of cold air.
Luo Feng’s slash just now allowed him to experience unprecedented fear.
The momentum of that slash felt like thunder descending to the world. His four-layer Grand Momentum was powerless to resist in front of it. Shi Zhong didn’t think Luo Feng’s Grand Momentum realm was only five-layer; it was very likely a six-layer, or even seven-layer Grand Momentum!
After giving Luo Feng a serious look, Shi Zhong sheathed his saber and cupped his hands in admiration, "I am impressed, I acknowledge defeat."
Luo Feng nodded, sheathing his saber. To show respect, he had also employed Grand Momentum earlier, but only unleashed a five-layer realm.
Even after Shi Zhong left the dragon pillar, everyone’s attention remained on Luo Feng.
Ever since the struggle for Dragon Rise began, one stunning performance after another, each time an unexpected display, no one knew where Luo Feng’s limit lay anymore.
In the direction of the Sky Sword Pavilion disciples at the peak, Ji Wuyue looked at Luo Feng, her hands clasped together tightly, her red lips pressed together as her bright eyes were veiled with a layer of misty mist...
