Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1197 - 1194: Clash of Geniuses (Part 2)

"I challenge Yan Feihua!"

Lin Hongyi stepped onto the stage without hesitation, her gaze directly fixed on Yan Feihua.

"Lin Hongyi challenges Yan Feihua!"

"This is too exaggerated, isn’t it? Each of the top five in the New Dragon List is exceptional in strength, and Yan Feihua was ranked fourth in the last New Dragon List tournament! At that time, she almost defeated Lu Xiao Yun."

"Yeah, if she challenged Su Xiaokang or Han Wudao, I wouldn’t be surprised, but to challenge Yan Feihua right off the bat? Does she think she can win?"

Many people were left speechless upon hearing Lin Hongyi’s challenge to Yan Feihua.

Just now, Lin Hongyi had defeated Zhang Hao, who was ranked in the top fifteen of the New Dragon List, with a single punch, making people realize her extraordinary strength, but to immediately challenge Yan Feihua, who was fourth in the previous New Dragon List, still left everyone surprised.

What happened next was even more unexpected.

Upon hearing the challenge, Yan Feihua stood up, glanced at Lin Hongyi, hesitated slightly, and then told the elder of the Sky Sword Pavilion responsible for the match:

"I concede."

Swoosh!

With these words, the atmosphere on Group Dragon Island erupted.

"No way, Yan Feihua actually conceded voluntarily!"

"What’s going on? Does she really think she’s no match for Lin Hongyi? That’s impossible, I don’t find Lin Hongyi that impressive."

"What’s your insight, look at Yan Feihua’s insight; if she’s decided to concede, she must have seen through Lin Hongyi’s extraordinariness."

"So it seems, Lin Hongyi is just too strong."

"I think Yan Feihua is actually more formidable, and as for why she concedes, there must be another reason."

With Yan Feihua’s voluntary concession, Lin Hongyi’s popularity surged to its peak, although there were also voices of skepticism.

After all, it wasn’t just anyone who conceded, but the fourth place in the previous top ten new dragons. In everyone’s eyes, if Yan Feihua’s cultivation advanced further this year, she had great hopes of contesting the top three in the top ten new dragons.

Regarding this, Luo Feng was somewhat surprised but not shocked.

With his strong soul power, he possessed a keen sense of perceiving the strength of opponents and having confronted both Yan Feihua and Lin Hongyi, he knew both of their ace cards.

In terms of cultivation and cultivation technique realm, Lin Hongyi and Yan Feihua should be evenly matched, but Lin Hongyi carried the Deathless King bloodline, had comprehended the Grand Momentum, and her Momentum Realm was not beneath his own. If she went all out, Yan Feihua would be hard-pressed to resist.

In Luo Feng’s impression, Yan Feihua had excellent observation skills and likely saw Lin Hongyi’s extraordinariness, which led to her voluntary concession.

The ranking match had only just begun, so rather than wasting energy on a match with no prospects, it’s better to conserve strength for the upcoming competitions.

The next match was a challenge by the Sky Sword Pavilion disciple Ye Canglang against the eighth ranked disciple of the Floating Snow Hall, ’Divine Wind Saber Guest.’

The Saber Technique of Floating Snow Hall was always known for its speed, and the Divine Wind Saber Guest demonstrated to everyone what a fast saber truly is. Each move, each stance of the Saber Technique seemed to merge into the wind, each slash accompanied by a thousandfold saber shadows.

Ye Canglang’s Swordsmanship lacked the power to break through all the Saber Qi, forcing him into full defense mode, turning his sword dance into a golden whirlwind. However, long defense leads to defeat, and after dozens of rounds, Ye Canglang exposed a flaw in his defense, immediately struck by the Saber Qi, causing him to cough up blood and fall backward.

By now, the pace of the competition had gradually slowed down, yet the crowd’s excitement only grew hotter.

Every year, the ranking matches become more exhilarating as they progress, and at any moment, another peak duel like the one between Luo Feng and Leng Feifan could emerge in the upcoming contests.

With the conclusion of Ye Canglang and the Divine Wind Saber Guest’s duel, a tall figure appeared on the Ascending Dragon Platform, stirring Luo Feng’s spirit.

This time, the challenger was none other than Yang Wanyi. It was uncertain whom she would challenge.

"I challenge Xiao Yu," Yang Wanyi declared, gazing towards the tenth layer.

Upon hearing this, the spectators were shocked.

Xiao Yu was the primary disciple of Jade Hall, ranked fifth among the top ten new dragons, and widely recognized as the leading young practitioner of Qinggong. The Jade Moon Cold Wind Palm he practiced was a technique he found in an ancient ruin during his early years, a middle-tier Earth-level Palm Technique, containing illusionary changes. When combined with his superb Qinggong, it was indeed impeccable.

On the Dragon Pillar, Xiao Yu sneered, his figure flashed, appearing silently on the Ascending Dragon Platform.

"So fast, how did he get up there!"

"Of course, it’s Xiao Yu; his Qinggong is just as terrifying as the rumors say, formless and shadowless."

"Indeed, the young generation’s foremost in Qinggong lives up to his reputation."

Xiao Yu’s ghostly movement technique elicited many gasps of admiration.

Luo Feng also observed Xiao Yu, whose speed was indeed astonishingly fast and could even cause illusions. Among those Luo Feng had seen, Xiao Yu’s Qinggong cultivation was unrivaled.

Of course, Luo Feng was confident that his Great Accomplishment level Sky Cloud Step would not lose to Xiao Yu’s skill.

On the Ascending Dragon Platform, Xiao Yu stood fifty paces away from Yang Wanyi, speaking indifferently, "Don’t think I’ll flee without a fight like Yan Feihua."

Upon hearing this, Yan Feihua’s distant daimei furrowed; she naturally perceived the sarcasm in Xiao Yu’s words.

Luo Feng sneered, noting Xiao Yu seemed confident in defeating Yang Wanyi. However, Luo Feng felt otherwise. He subtly sensed a terrifying aura lurking within Yang Wanyi, a power she had yet to utilize, undoubtedly fighting her earlier matches without exerting her full strength.

Shoo...

A cluster of dark golden flames jumped in Yang Wanyi’s pure right palm, her full red lips curving into a smile:

"Whether you concede or not, the outcome will be the same."

Xiao Yu’s face stiffened, yet he coldly laughed, "Fine, I’ll see how you plan to defeat me!"

Bang!

Without a sound, Xiao Yu vanished from his original spot, and simultaneously, a jade-green Yuan Qi Palm Gang tore through the air towards Yang Wanyi, its speed incredibly fast, causing the air to explode as it traveled.

Yang Wanyi maintained her smile, as flames unexpectedly erupted, she gathered the Nine Suns Burn Demon Clothes, allowing the flames around her to flow endlessly, with nine fireballs spiraling and dancing in the void, heating the air to the point of severe distortion.

With the blessing of the Nine Suns Burn Demon Clothes, Yang Wanyi’s momentum dramatically increased; her finger pointed forward as a ball of fire shot out, directly shattering the jade-green Palm Gang into fragments, causing a whirlwind of hot air.

"Jade Wave Cold Moon!"

Xiao Yu’s voice echoed on the platform, as a faint silhouette flickered irregularly all over the platform, and simultaneously, numerous large jade-green Palm Gangs surrounded Yang Wanyi from all directions, rendering the whole space into a shade of green, leaving no visible trajectory of the Palm Gangs.

Faced with the overwhelming Palm Gangs, Yang Wanyi’s daimei slightly furrowed, she neither retreated nor evaded, pressing her right palm emptily into the air.

"Nine Sun Heaven Net!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...

Nine clusters of golden flames spun outward, violently expanding in mid-air, transforming into swirling fire pillars, weaving into a massive net of flames, radiating in all directions, causing the Palm Gangs to explode and vanish invisibly along its path.
