Martial Arts Overlord

Boom!

The golden flame net swept across the entire platform and then suddenly gathered and exploded. The whole mountain shook slightly, almost imperceptibly, while the scorching wind spread in all directions.

Ye Canglang, who had been thrown off the dragon pillar, saw this scene and felt his heart shrink with lingering fear.

If he hadn’t been shaken off the dragon pillar early, it wouldn’t have been as simple as a minor injury.

The previously noisy Group Dragon Island fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked in the same direction, their expressions full of shock.

On the dragon pillar, Yang Wanyi’s figure was surrounded by nine groups of golden flames, exuding a noble and ethereal aura that made others feel a sense of admiration involuntarily.

"Yang Wanyi wins, Ye Canglang’s challenge fails."

The elder of the Sky Sword Pavilion came back to his senses and immediately announced the result of the match.

Wow!

The atmosphere was ignited by this sentence, and the entire Group Dragon Island suddenly burst into discussion.

"That battle was truly thrilling. I never expected Ye Canglang’s Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword to be blocked by Yang Wanyi."

"It’s not just a simple block. Didn’t you notice that the Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword was completely incinerated by the Fire Gang before it even got close to Yang Wanyi, indicating a significant gap in their strengths."

"This means Yang Wanyi is truly terrifying. Ye Canglang is an outstanding figure among the veteran experts of the New Dragon Ranking and has cultivated the Mysterious Gold Thunder Sword. His strength is not something someone like Wei Nanye can compare to, yet he couldn’t pose the slightest threat to her. I wonder how she’s been cultivating this past year to have progressed so much."

"It’s indeed quite incredible. She must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter..."

"This year, talents have emerged in various Golden Palaces, and it seems that the rankings of the top ten new dragons will see significant changes. Luo Feng, Yang Wanyi, Yan Hu, Lin Hongyi, and He Qin all stand a great chance of becoming among the top ten new dragons, with Yang Wanyi and Luo Feng even having the possibility of fighting for the top five positions."

The battle between Yang Wanyi and Ye Canglang was too intense, and most people were awed by Yang Wanyi’s Nine Sun Heaven Net move, causing their evaluation of her to rise sharply.

On the tenth layer of the dragon pillar, Lu Xiao Yun watched Yang Wanyi, a glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes, as strong interest arose within him.

The path of the Martial Artist is a lonely one, and if one could find a suitable companion to support each other, nothing could be better.

However, Lu Xiao Yun had always been proud and arrogant. The woman he desired, both in talent and appearance, must be extraordinary.

Since entering the Golden Palace to cultivate, he has met many favored daughters of heaven, but only Yan Feihua, who ranked fourth in the previous top ten new dragons, caught a bit of his interest, but it was only a slight interest.

Although Yan Feihua’s appearance and cultivation were outstanding, in his eyes, they were not quite extraordinary, at most fit to be his concubine.

But at this moment, looking at Yang Wanyi, Lu Xiao Yun felt a strong interest in a woman for the first time.

If Yan Feihua were a top-grade woman, then the talented and beautiful Yang Wanyi would undoubtedly be a supreme-grade, qualified to be his woman. He believed that given his status, proposing this demand, the other party would surely not refuse.

Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on Lu Xiao Yun’s face, but it lasted only a moment before gradually freezing.

Since the end of the duel, Yang Wanyi has been paying attention to another person: Luo Feng.

After Yang Wanyi and Ye Canglang’s duel ended, the matches on the tenth layer continued, but no one proposed a challenge again.

Finally, the elder of the Sky Sword Pavilion in charge of the matches announced the end of the advancement competition!

As the words fell, the atmosphere of the entire Group Dragon Island boiled again, waves of voices rising continuously, as everyone eagerly anticipated the upcoming peak match of the ranking competition.

Luo Feng glanced around; most of the people remaining on the ninth layer were familiar faces. Including himself, there were five newly promoted experts. Except for Ye Canglang, all the experts from the previous top twenty of the New Dragon Ranking were eliminated.

"A new generation replaces the old..."

Sighing slightly in his heart, Luo Feng understood even more the harshness of the Martial Arts path. Extraordinary talent can only make one shine for a time, and to not be surpassed by others, one must put in more effort.

At this moment, the elder of the Sky Sword Pavilion’s voice echoed again:

"Rest for one incense stick of time, then the ranking competition begins."

Swish! Swish! Swish...

As soon as the words fell, the contestants on the Hundred Dragon Pillars swiftly descended from the pillar and headed towards their Golden Palace’s residence. Some, upon landing, were immediately taken aside by the higher-ups of the Golden Palace to channel energy and heal their injuries, helping them restore their state.

In the advancement competition, quite a few contestants from the ninth layer were injured, and this short rest was meant for them to heal and return to peak condition, to fully prepare for the upcoming ranking competition to ensure fairness.

"Luo Feng, there’s only one incense stick’s worth of time to rest. Let’s go down as well," Lin Hongyi said to Luo Feng.

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded, leaping down the dragon pillar in a few bounds, arriving at the Linglong Hall’s residence.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng!"

"Senior Brother, you were amazing just now."

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, do you want some water?"

The nearby female disciples of Linglong Hall, upon seeing Luo Feng, immediately surrounded him, with someone eagerly handing him a water pouch.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

Luo Feng nodded, taking the water pouch and drinking a few mouthfuls.

Slicing through the air, Xia Yunjing, Yan Feihua, and Yang Wanyi also rushed over.

"Luo Feng, congratulations. You stole all the limelight in this advancement competition," Yan Feihua said with a smile.

"Not necessarily."

Luo Feng chuckled, glancing at Yang Wanyi.

Yang Wanyi’s alluring red lips curved into a slight smile as she winked at Luo Feng, looking charmingly seductive.

At this moment, the crowd parted, and Shui Linglong, Gu Xifeng, along with several high-ranking members of Linglong Hall, came out.

"Second Hall Master, esteemed elders."

The group immediately saluted.

Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, her water-like eyes glanced at the four of them, slowly saying:

"You four performed very well this time. The upcoming ranking competition is crucial, and I hope you give it your all. The Hundred Dragon Pillars and the large Yuan Spirit Vein below Group Dragon Island are closely linked, relating to the fortunes of heaven and earth. The higher your ranking, the greater your future fortune. Although fortune is intangible and elusive, it influences each of us and cannot be ignored. Moreover, this battle is not only for you individually but also for our entire Linglong Hall."

"Yes!"

The four of them responded with clasped fists.

"During the competition, maintain a good mindset, avoid arrogance and impatience, and never be provoked into losing your composure. This way, you can give your all. Although the matches are meant to hit only to a point, if someone deliberately targets you, do not be merciful. If necessary, willingly admit defeat. Remember, once you step onto the arena, it’s as if entering a battlefield, life and death are your responsibility. As long as you don’t concede defeat, we can’t help you."

Gu Xifeng’s face turned serious, warning the four, and suddenly she shifted her gaze to Luo Feng, saying, "Especially you, Luo Feng."

"Me?" Luo Feng was slightly stunned.

Gu Xifeng nodded, "Though I don’t know why, Leng Feifan from Blood Flower Tower harbors strong killing intent towards you. Assassins from Blood Flower Tower cultivate in the art of killing, so if you encounter him in the competition, be extremely cautious. Also, Lu Xiao Yun seems to have an unfriendly gaze towards you."

Luo Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, elder."

He was already aware of Leng Feifan’s situation, and as for Lu Xiao Yun’s gaze, he naturally sensed it as well. The other party had been observing him from the beginning, his eyes occasionally exuding a fierce glow, especially just now, when that hostility reached a peak.

What surprised Luo Feng was that Gu Xifeng would actually take the initiative to warn him.
