Ji Wuyue had just entered the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm not long ago, and given the abundance of experts in the Sky Sword Pavilion, she did not qualify to participate in the New Dragon List Tournament, and simply accompanied others to watch the competition.
This naturally left her somewhat disappointed, but as Luo Feng secured victory after victory, that trace of disappointment gradually dissipated, as if something had filled the void in her heart.
She vividly remembered the boy who earnestly sought her guidance on the Tiger Roar Fist, so naive back then.
A year ago, perhaps no one would have believed that the ordinary Silver Moon class student would achieve what he has today.
Becoming one of the Four New Talents, seizing the top spot in the Twelve Golden Palaces assessment, and as a student of the academy, defeating Yi Tian of the Floating Snow Hall, and ranking fourth in the personal score at the Hunting Conference...
Each of these feats seemed unbelievable, and initially, Ji Wuyue couldn’t believe them until she was unexpectedly saved by Luo Feng in Cloud Mountain City, and realized it was all true.
That seemingly unremarkable student from the Silver Moon class had, at some point, shed his dimness, begun to shine, and risen like the morning sun, unstoppable.
And today, Ji Wuyue is once again deeply shocked.
He passed through the three barriers effortlessly; in the four rounds of the qualifying matches, he faced challenges from veteran New Dragon List masters, winning consecutively and with ease. His battle with Shi Zhong further revealed his unfathomable cultivation of Grand Momentum, making it clear that he hadn’t been serious in previous matches.
Now, everyone is talking about him, some even hailing him as a legend among the Canglang Dynasty’s younger generation, becoming a True Yuan Realm martial artist is a certainty, and he has high hopes of advancing to the Yuan Sea Realm great ability, or even reaching higher levels!
And this legend was once her disciple.
Thinking of this, Ji Wuyue let out a slight sigh, recalling another student: Lin Xiaoxiao.
As the instructor of the Silver Moon class, she naturally knew about Luo Feng and Lin Xiaoxiao’s affairs. If Lin Xiaoxiao knew of Luo Feng’s performance in the New Dragon List, she wondered what her feelings would be.
However, one thing Ji Wuyue was certain of, was that Luo Feng and Lin Xiaoxiao were now people from two different worlds.
Given Luo Feng’s demonstrated talent, becoming a dominator is only a matter of time, and he will certainly attract the admiration of powerful figures.
In fact, after the New Dragon List Tournament ends, there will definitely be heavenly beauties from the Golden Palace, maidens from noble families, or even princesses of the dynasty, showing him favor.
Heroes love beauties, and beauties also love heroes. Since ancient times, the partners of the strong are generally extraordinary, whereas Lin Xiaoxiao to the current Luo Feng is merely an ordinary person.
Shaking her head, Ji Wuyue disregarded the scatterbrained thoughts in her mind and once again looked towards Luo Feng.
She wanted to see how far this disciple, who once called her instructor, could go.
The duel between Shi Zhong and Luo Feng concluded, marking the end of the eighth-level matches, with the fourth round entering the ninth level.
Upon hearing the start of the match, Luo Feng glanced around at the people on the ninth level, his gaze pausing briefly on Yang Wan’er, who was ranked fifth.
Throughout the four rounds of qualifying matches, up until now, nearly all ten participants on the ninth level had been challenged, including the first-ranked Yan Hu.
Except for one person, Yang Wan’er.
To date, no one had dared to challenge Yang Wan’er, which surprised Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, are you wondering why no one is challenging Yang Wan’er?" Lin Hongyi noticed Luo Feng’s gaze and asked.
Luo Feng turned back, "Do you know the reason?"
"The reason is simple, no one on the eighth level is confident enough to defeat her, some even fear her."
Lin Hongyi glanced at Yang Wan’er and said, "When Yang Wan’er faced three trials, she encountered Wei Nanye from the Sky Sword Pavilion at the Profound Weight Gate."
"Wei Nanye!"
Luo Feng frowned, he had heard of this person, notorious for his poor character, marked by countless misdeeds, and couldn’t help asking, "What happened?"
Lin Hongyi said, "Wei Nanye presumably spoke rudely to Yang Wan’er, and they fought it out on the spot, resulting in... Wei Nanye losing an arm to her flames, reducing him to a waste."
Luo Feng exhaled, this indeed matched Yang Wan’er’s style, no wonder no one dared to challenge her. After all, he couldn’t yet discern Yang Wan’er’s true strength.
"I challenge Yang Wan’er!"
Just as the two were discussing, a loud voice suddenly rang out, immediately silencing the previously buzzing peak.
Whoosh!
The sound of wind breaking resounded, and a figure appeared on the dragon pillar where Yang Wan’er stood. The figure was slender yet stood straight, exuding an indescribable sharpness.
"It’s ’Golden Sword’ Ye Canglang from the Sky Sword Pavilion, who ranked thirteenth in the previous New Dragon List. It’s already the last round of the qualifying matches, why is he issuing a challenge now, could it be for revenge for Wei Nanye?"
Lin Hongyi observed the speaker, frowning slightly with a hint of doubt.
Luo Feng didn’t say a word, he had once met Ye Canglang when he saved Ji Wuyue in Cloud Mountain City. Ye Canglang didn’t strike him as an unreasonable person; perhaps there was another reason for challenging Yang Wan’er.
As Ye Canglang ascended the dragon pillar, the entire Group Dragon Island fell silent.
Having been sifted through four rounds of qualifying matches, those who remained on the ninth level were all cream of the crop, the top experts among the younger generation.
Whether it was Yang Wan’er or Ye Canglang, both were hot candidates vying for the top ten new dragons, and everyone held great expectations.
"Who do you think will win, Yang Wan’er or Ye Canglang?"
"Judging by the last New Dragon List ranking, Ye Canglang was thirteenth, while Yang Wan’er was outside the thirtieth, so Ye Canglang should have a greater chance of winning, right?"
"It’s hard to say; a lot can happen in a year. Who knew about Luo Feng a year ago? Now he’s a figure rivaling the top ten new dragons. Yang Wanyi effortlessly defeated Wei Nanye at the Profound Weight Gate; her strength is exceptional, not easily overcome."
"You have a point."
On the Dragon Pillar.
Yang Wanyi glanced at Ye Canglang and asked, "Before we start, let me ask a question. Why are you challenging me?"
Swish!
Ye Canglang flicked the golden sword in his hand, and instantly, patches of golden light scattered across the platform. With a stern expression, he said:
"Rest assured, my challenge to you has nothing to do with Wei Nanye. Of the twenty people on the tenth and ninth levels, there are ten whom I cannot be sure of defeating. You happen to be the eleventh. Only by defeating you can I qualify to compete as one of the top ten new dragons."
"I see."
Yang Wanyi’s red lips curved into a tempting smile, her right index finger softly flicked, and a cluster of dark golden flame thorns gathered at her fingertip, illuminating her eyes as she smiled:
"Too bad, the moment you challenged me, you’ve already lost."
"Hahaha... That makes me more eager to try. What I, Ye Canglang, love most is turning the impossible into possible!"
Ye Canglang wasn’t angry; he laughed loudly as the treasured sword in his hand suddenly emitted a golden sword aura three to four meters long with a casual shake.
"Mysterious Gold Sword Qi!"
Whoosh!
The sword tip spun a circle in the void, suddenly retracting, as sharp golden sword aura pierced through, aiming directly at Yang Wanyi.
"This is the Geng Metal Mysterious Light Sword, one of the three major swordsmanships of the Sky Sword Pavilion! The sword aura contains the Five Elements’ Geng metal aura, more powerful than ordinary sword aura, unmatched in sharpness. Given Ye Canglang’s cultivation, under-third-grade spirit weapons would likely struggle to withstand!"
Lin Hongyi frowned, saying that this swordsmanship is very oppressive to martial artists focused on body strengthening.
Luo Feng nodded; he also felt the terrifying nature of this Mysterious Gold Sword Qi.
On the stage, Yang Wanyi remained calm, as her fingertip flame thorns suddenly expanded, flicking forward to meet the sword aura.
Bam!
The flame thorns exploded, scattering sparks across the sky, while the golden sword aura seemed to meet icy snow from the flame, quickly melted, dissipating without a trace.
"Such powerful Fire Gang!"
Ye Canglang’s eyebrow twitched, his expression extremely serious, knowing Yang Wanyi’s words were not mere arrogance. He suddenly infused all his Yuan Qi into the treasured sword.
Instantly, the fourth-grade treasured sword burst forth with dazzling golden light.
"Take this move, Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword!"
His gaze revealing infinite edge, Ye Canglang’s pupils turned pure gold, as his footsteps vibrated, stabbing the sky with one sword.
Swoosh!
The golden sword gang extended, reaching the clouds above, painting the sky within miles in dazzling golden hues.
Crack!
Suddenly, a huge rift appeared in the golden thunderclouds, as an incomparably condensed golden sword aura burst through the clouds, descending chaotically, like a golden thunderbolt falling from the heavens, heading straight for Yang Wanyi, its force causing the entire mountain peak to faintly tremble.
"Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword! This is the most formidable killer move of the Geng Metal Mysterious Gold Sword, the sword aura carries the aura of thunder clouds, increasing its power by several fold. It is rumored that if the swordsmanship is cultivated to the perfect realm, it can even trigger Yuan Gang Extreme Thunder of the Central Sky Region! I didn’t expect Ye Canglang to have mastered this move." Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Ye Canglang’s sword aura amplification isn’t substantial; the swordsmanship should have reached the Small Success Realm."
"It’s already quite impressive; the power of the Geng Metal Mysterious Light Sword is immense, even rivaling middle-grade earth-level swordsmanship, but it’s notoriously difficult to cultivate. Throughout history, those able to cultivate this swordsmanship to the Great Accomplishment Realm are few and far between."
"I wonder if Yang Wanyi can withstand this move."
Luo Feng also held his breath, his gaze locked onto the golden sword aura.
This sword aura carries the essence of thunderbolts, which is extraordinary; he would need to exert around forty percent of his power to resist.
At this moment, fiery light emerged, as Fire Yuan Qi condensed a flame mantled garment on Yang Wanyi, while nine clusters of fiery light spun and danced around her, the overpowering aura distorting the air intensely.
"Nine Sun Heaven Net!"
Yang Wanyi’s delicate hand waved, as nine clusters of dark golden flame spun and flew out, soaring into the sky, transforming into columns of fire that twisted and intertwined, forming a massive celestial net radiating in all directions.
Buzzing hum...
The Mysterious Gold Sword Qi struck the Fire Gang, vibrating fiercely yet never advancing, instead gradually grinding away.
Whoosh!
The fire net swept across the platform; Ye Canglang was cornered with nowhere to escape, combined with the immense Yuan Qi drain from the Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword, his protective gang energy shattered, and he spewed a mouthful of blood mid-air, flying off the Dragon Pillar platform.
