“The five major organs store five Qi, the five Qi transforms into five dragons, and the five dragons appear in Heaven and Earth, roaming dominantly in all realms!”
That was the first thing Luo Feng saw when he opened the Soaring Dragon Steps manual.
The words were written in vigorous and fine strokes, which were mysterious, and gave an irresistible feeling.
“The five dragons appear in Heaven and Earth, roaming dominantly in all realms! That sounds so overpowering!” Luo Feng was in awe. While it was just a few rows of words, it made him feel as if he ruled and overlooked the world.
“According to legend, a sacred mountain towering at 88000 feet stood at the edge of Heaven and Earth where a sacred dragon sat. Guarding the gates of Heaven and Earth its entire life so long, its strength remains unknown. Soaring Dragon Steps is actually related to a sacred dragon, I wonder what its background is…” After reading the poem, Luo Feng had a hunch that Soaring Dragon Steps was not merely a Light Body martial art.
Luo Feng stopped thinking since he could not figure it out. His priority was to successfully cultivate Soaring Dragon Steps and to elevate his strength.
Rows of cultivation techniques came into view when Luo Feng opened the manual.
“Through the essence of the five major organs drawn from spirit, the spiritual body transforms into a dragon, and the dragon controls the body…”
The techniques were so obscure that Luo Feng had a hard time working it out even though he had a great understanding of it. He gathered his thoughts together and paid full attention to the manual.
As Luo Feng read through every page, he began having an indescribable prospect.
He felt as if he transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon that overlooked the world, and roamed in all realms…
By the time Luo Feng awoke, it was late at night where the Moon and the stars shone brightly in the sky. Purple Spirit Mountain was dead silent.
“What a profound technique! It’s no wonder that nobody succeeded in cultivating it for the past ten years.” While Luo Feng exclaimed, he was rather elated.
Since he was able to comprehend the technique’s prospects, he was probably worthy of cultivating Soaring Dragon Steps!
Thrilled, Luo Feng began cultivating according to the techniques.
Soaring Dragon Steps’ cultivation method was extremely strange. It required cultivators to utilize spiritual power to transform activated meridians cycles into dragon forms.
Normally, the meridian cycles of cultivators contained only blood essence, and it was impossible to change it, yet Soaring Dragon Steps’ techniques were able to do that provided one had great apprehension and spiritual powers.
The Moon hung brightly in the sky when Luo Feng sat facing the sea of clouds with his legs crossed.
He exhaled, and inhaled…
Eventually, when Luo Feng became immersed in his consciousness, he entered the mysterious cultivation state depicted by Soaring Dragon Steps’ techniques. He began controlling the activated meridian cycles in his five major organs through his spirit and transformed them into dragon forms.
In just a day, the two meridian cycles in Luo Feng’s spleen slowly transformed into dragon forms. As such, two dragons swayed tirelessly in his spleen as if they breathed Luo Feng’s vitality in and out in a vast sea.
Luo Feng achieved Level One of Soaring Dragon Steps!
Unknowingly, six days went by.
“Snap!”
On the cliff, ripping sounds were suddenly heard from the body of the person who sat with his legs crossed. The fallen leaves around him spun outward as if being drawn by an invisible force.
“Woosh!”
The person stood up abruptly, then zoomed forty meters away from the cliff like an arrow!
As he fell into the sea of clouds and was about to get crushed into pieces, a dragon roar was vaguely heard. Next, air current in the form of a dragon appeared beneath him. He took two steps, then returned to the cliff steadily as if he flew back with spread wings.
“I finally attained Level Two of Soaring Dragon Steps.” Luo Feng breathed out slowly and smiled while looking at the clouds below the cliff.
Soaring Dragon Steps became tougher as the level increased, such that Luo Feng spent six days to perfect the second level. Nevertheless, his hard work allowed him to improve his cultivation base, hence he was getting close to Level Four Meridian Cycle Boundary, Strength Boundary.
“Now, I’m able to leap forty meters away, which is double of what’s stated in the manual. This is probably due to my strong spiritual power.” Luo Feng was delighted when he recalled what he felt when he jumped towards the clouds earlier.
The fact that he had twice the number of meridian cycles of a normal person, there were four dragons in his body even when he only cultivated to Level Two of Soaring Dragon Steps.
“I should return for a while.” Luo Feng cleaned the dust on his robe and smiled bitterly.
He left the mountain after keeping the Soaring Dragon Steps manual.
On his way back, Luo Feng suddenly ran as hard as he could in the forest.
“Swoosh, swoosh…”
Trees moved backward at the speed of light, accompanied by whistling sounds that filled the air. Luo Feng moved thrice as fast as he used to!
Luo Feng believed that even if he were to cultivate Untraceable Steps, a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial art to Success State, Li Yunhao, who was known as the Phantom for being the top five in the Outer Institution in terms of Light Body martial arts, would not be as fast as him. This also proved that Soaring Dragon Steps was indeed extraordinary.
“Someone’s here?” Luo Feng suddenly stopped on the hillside. Through the trees, he looked ahead of him.
Somewhere in front, three young men were walking in his direction through the dense forest. They seemed to be searching for something.
“Senior Brother Li, that bastard Luo Feng is definitely here on Purple Spirit Mountain!”
A tall young man then nodded. “I saw him on Purple Spirit Mountain six days ago, and I’ve been guarding at the foot of the mountain for a few days. He never left. I’m sure he’s still up there!”
Li Yunhao, whose face was dark, said hatefully, “Hmph, no matter where he hides, I’ll drag him out…”
He was totally embarrassed after losing nearly 100000 taels of silver and having his sword snatched away in the gymnasium previously!
From then on, Li Yunhao had been looking for an opportunity for revenge. Therefore, he quickly made his way here when he received news that Luo Feng entered Purple Spirit Mountain a few days ago. He had been searching for Luo Feng for days.
“Senior Brother Li, don’t worry, Luo Feng’s just a worthless person from Silver Moon Class. Once we find him, we’ll teach him a lesson and make him beg you for forgiveness!” A young man with thick eyebrows laughed out loud.
“That’s right, that fella doesn’t know where he stands. He provoked students from Golden Sun Class and even made light of Mister Duanmu. He must be punished! We’ll show him the immensity of Heaven and Earth!” The two young men were both Golden Sun Class students and had cultivation bases of the middle phase of Level Four Meridian Cycle. Since they were intermediate level students in Golden Sun Class, they naturally belittled Luo Feng.
“Hmph!”
A scoff was suddenly heard. The three men who were chatting happily immediately stopped and looked in front of them.
Luo Feng walked out from the trees, then stared at Li Yunhao and his men coldly. “Which one of you wants to teach me a lesson?”
“Luo Feng!”
Li Yunhao looked fierce the moment he saw Luo Feng. When he sensed Luo Feng’s aura, he was startled. “Level Four Meridian Cycle, you advanced so quickly!”
Luo Feng smirked, then approached the three men. He said to Li Yunhao, “I’ll have to thank you for that. If it wasn’t for your silvers that allowed me to buy drugs, I wouldn’t have advanced so quickly.”
“Damn it!” Li Yunhao was enraged. Just as he was about to attack Luo Feng, the two Golden Class students stopped him. “Senior Brother Li, leave this trivial matter to us, lest dirtying your hands.”
Li Yunhao took a deep breath, then pointed at Luo Feng. “Beat him up!”
The two young men stood out right away. The young man with thick eyebrows crossed his arms as he ordered, “Luo Feng, kowtow three times to us now, and address us as Masters. We’ll consider sparing you.”
Luo Feng curled his lips. “If you kneel and address me as Master, I’ll let you leave the mountain!”
The two Golden Sun Class students were displeased when they heard Luo Feng’s reply.
‘Every Silver Moon Class student obeys us. How dare Luo Feng speak so arrogantly when his cultivation base is below ours? He’s literally courting death!’ The two young men had strong killing intent.
“Bastard!” The two young men shouted together, then launched their fists at Luo Feng. Their punches were aggressive, so much so that they carried wind which blew Luo Feng’s hair.
They aimed for Luo Feng’s vital points and were obviously not going to show him mercy.
“Damn you!”
Although the two men had higher cultivation bases, Luo Feng was unconcerned. He stomped on the ground and formed a deep hole. His momentum was so explosive that he attacked the two men with his fists like a ferocious tiger king.
“Bam, bam!”
When their fists collided, a rough wind blew in the forest and caused the leaves to shake violently!
“Crack!”
Subsequently, the sounds of bones being cracked were heard clearly. The two Golden Sun Class students who were savage earlier looked pale, then spat blood at the same time. While they shrieked in pain, they flew and finally stopped after crashing into two trees.
“Ah, ah! My arm! My arm is broken!” The two men who fell to the ground held their right arms and cried out loud.
Their right arms hung strengthless, and their bones could be seen protruding from their wrists. It was so horrid as only one small section of their wrists and arms were left connected, and their hands were covered in blood!
“What’s going on? He only has the cultivation base of the early phase of Strength Boundary, how did he defeat Yang Fan and Li Kui with one hit!” Li Yunhao was stupefied.
Though the two men were not masters in Golden Sun Class, they would be considered the top three students if they were in Silver Moon Class. That being said, they failed to withstand Luo Feng’s hit!
“Swoosh!”
Luo Feng glared at the Golden Sun Class students who were still groaning. “Kneel, and call me Master!”
“Freak!” The two young men squealed as they felt as if a ferocious beast was staring at them. In addition, the smell of urine filled the air. Evidently, they wet their pants.
“Trash!”
Luo Feng scowled at the two Golden Sun Class students.
“Ah! Ah! Senior Brother Li, save me! Quick, save me!” The two young men trembled in fear.
“Get lost!”
All of a sudden, a cold light appeared. Like the fang of a venomous snake, a chill struck toward Luo Feng’s throat!
He frowned. It was a cunning attack by sword, which made him feel like he was a target that had been locked on. He took a step away, then fluttered backward.
“Senior Brother Li!” The two Golden Sun Class students were happy to see that Li Yunhao managed to force Luo Feng to retreat. Even as they were heavily injured, they shouted excitedly. “Senior Brother, how dare this bastard break our arms, quick, kill him! Take revenge for us!”
Li Yunhao who had a strong killing intent squinted his eyes at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, I can’t believe that your strength has improved so much that you can fight me now and just after not seeing you for half a month! You’re a dangerous fella indeed!”
Luo Feng cast a sidelong glance at Li Yunhao, then shook his head and sneered.
“Li Yunhao, you’re overestimating yourself! Someone like you who only thinks about following another person like a dog, and takes advantage of someone else’s power to do evil don’t deserve to be mentioned on equal terms with me!”
Earlier on, Luo Feng only used seventy percent of his force and did not use martial art skills at all. He had not displayed his true strength.
