There was a cold expression on Li Yunhao’s face. He never imagined that Luo Feng was so arrogant. When he heard what the other party said, Li Yunhao coldly sneered. “You’re truly unrepentant! I know that you’re stronger than the average person because you were naturally gifted with unique talents. But I, Li Yunhao, am completely unbothered by your little tricks!”
Whoosh!
The sound of laughter continued to echo before Li Yunhao’s figure flashed and suddenly vanished. After that, four copies of Li Yunhao appeared on his initial spot out of thin air. These copies even had the exact same features and mannerisms!
“Lost Track Steps!” There were two students from the Golden Sun Class who were lying on the ground. Their eyes suddenly lit up with excitement when they noticed that four copies of Li Yunhao had appeared out of the blue.
Once it was successfully cultivated, the Lost Track Steps was a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts that allowed an individual to move quickly and produce three illusions. This skill was extremely strange because it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake!
Luo Feng, let’s see if your fist is stronger than my sword! All four versions of Li Yunhao continuously sneered while they held their swords and looked at Luo Feng.
Hmm!
A burst of icy sword light suddenly cascaded down when the longsword that he held faintly quivered. The sword light rushed at Luo Feng from all four directions.
Shh!
Luo Feng was trapped in the middle of an eerie and unpredictable aura when the sword light sliced through the air. It seemed like the aura was determined to stab Luo Feng and form several bloody holes throughout his body!
The young man narrowed his eyes while he stood on his initial spot without moving at all. It looked like he was afraid of Li Yunhao and the other three illusions that were approaching him right in front of his eyes.
When he saw this scene, the joyful look in Li Yunhao’s eyes became even more obvious. Strangely enough, a sinister smirk faintly appeared on the corners of Luo Feng’s mouth at the same time.
“The Lost Track Steps are pretty impressive after all! No wonder you managed to get tenth place in the Roaming King Tournament last year. I’m going to learn the Lost Track Steps from you today!”
Luo Feng laughed for some time before four transparent Qi Dragons rose from the ground below his feet when he stepped there.
Whoosh! Luo Feng instinctively leaped across a distance of several feet when he stepped on the Qi Dragon. Next, he violently punched the copy of Li Yunhao that was closest to him.
Bang!
Nothing stopped his fist from penetrating Li Yunhao’s body. Luo Feng turned around and shook his head when the figure instantly disappeared. “It looks like this isn’t your real body.”
“What about this one…”
Bang, bang…
Two explosions rang out in quick succession before the real Li Yunhao was the only one left in the forest. He stood on his original spot in a dumbfounded state while he stared at Luo Feng in shock. There was a stunned look on his face as though something had frightened him.
Luo Feng paused before his gaze swept across the last Li Yunhao standing. He quietly chuckled and said, “Looks like this one is real.”
“That’s impossible! How could you surpass me in terms of speed? What kind of Light Body martial arts are you using?” Li Yunhao was holding his longsword in his right hand when he finally came to his senses. His entire body shivered when he looked at Luo Feng while a fearful expression remained on his face.
The other man glanced indifferently at Li Yunhao and said, “I’ll forgive you today if you kneel down and surrender!”
Li Yunhao’s features became twisted before a mad look suddenly appeared in his eyes. “You’re so full of yourself! I can’t believe that a trashy person like you from Silver Moon Class would even dream of asking me to surrender. In your dreams!”
He coldly huffed before he used the Lost Track Steps again. Li Yunhao raised his longsword and said, “Flowing Cloud Crosses River!”
Whoosh!
The tip of his sword quivered before four longswords appeared. Those weapons seemed like floating clouds that were crossing over the mountain without a fixed path as they attacked Luo Feng with abnormal power.
Although the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was merely a Fundamental Class martial arts, this skill’s true potential would be unleashed when it was used with the Lost Track Steps because they worked well together. The icy sword light resembled a moving cloud that surrounded Luo Feng across a distance of several feet. It was certainly powerful!
Luo Feng furrowed his eyebrows before his gaze grew colder. “You’re incredibly stubborn!”
Whoosh!
A cold breeze suddenly rushed through the forest before Luo Feng’s figure suddenly disappeared without a trace from everyone’s field of vision. Meanwhile, the bursts of sword light sliced up the ground where Luo Feng previously stood. Soon, the ground was covered messily with sword marks.
“Where did he go?” Li Yunhao paused before his vengeful gaze scanned the entire area. However, he failed to locate Luo Feng’s figure.
“Ah! He’s in the… He’s in the sky!”
The two students from Golden Sun Class beside him suddenly widened their eyes and looked above Li Yunhao’s head.
He felt his chest tighten when he lifted his head and looked up at the sky. Li Yunhao instantly stood there in a daze while his eyes were filled with fear.
Luo Feng was nearly eighty feet in the air when he stepped on the Qi Dragon and immediately charged downward while a murderous air surrounded him. He resembled an enraged tiger with a sinister aura when he rushed toward Li Yunhao with unimaginable force.
Li Yunhao seemed extremely uncomfortable when he looked at Luo Feng. “I never imagined that your Light Body martial arts had actually reached this boundary. It seems like I’ve underestimated you! However, you’ve forgotten that you’re merely a human with a physical body. You’re definitely going to lose today.”
“Flowing Cloud Crosses River!” The longsword in Li Yunhao’s hand quivered before it suddenly rose. Next, a ray of light emitted from the fine steel longsword that he held before it rushed toward Luo Feng.
Li Yunhao unleashed more than one hundred percent of his strength this time because he was not holding back at all. He drew out a white-colored path with the sharp moves of his sword. The path of his sword resembled a long rainbow that was passing through the sky when it rushed toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng secretly clenched his right fist tightly while he coldly sneered to himself. ‘My current boundary has almost reached the middle phase of the Level Four Strength Boundary, so my strength had probably almost reached 16535 pounds! I’m going to let you have a taste of my amazing power today!”
Boom!
He stood in midair, but his feet were so steady that it looked like he was standing on flat ground. His body suddenly shot forward when he forcefully stepped on the Qi Dragon. Luo Feng bent down and raised his fist before he used the Raging Tiger Leaves Cave move. His fist tore through the air as it violently rushed toward the tip of his opponent’s sword!
Crash!
The fine steel longsword that Li Yunhao held was instantly bent to its limit when it collided with Luo Feng’s fist!
Crack…
Several inch-long cracks formed throughout his fine steel longsword because it could not withstand Luo Feng’s incredible strength of over 16000 pounds!
“No!” Li Yunhao roared while his feelings of fear and anger intertwined. His longsword that was made of fine steel noisily shattered and broke into numerous pieces once it had reached its limit.
“Pfft!”
Li Yunhao violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as the two of them crashed on the ground like a pair of meteorites.
Boom! The peak trembled when the pair landed on the ground.
Luo Feng magnificently stood up while Li Yunhao protected the top of his head with both of his arms. He painfully propped his arms up when he bent his knees and stood before Luo Feng.
“Kneel down!” Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and quietly growled before he exerted more force in his hand.
Slap!
Li Yunhao let out a dull groan, but he had no strength left to fight back. He spat out a mouthful of blood before his legs immediately gave way. His eyes were filled with shame when he kneeled on the ground.
“Li Yunhao, I won’t kill you today. However, if you ever come and provoke me again, the outcome won’t be as simple as kneeling,” Luo Feng said sternly as he withdrew his hand. He was slightly in awe of Li Yunhao’s proud and unyielding nature.
Li Yunhao firmly bit his lips and remained silent.
Luo Feng shifted his gaze and looked at the other two students from Golden Sun Class instead.
The students from Golden Sun Class turned pale when Luo Feng’s gaze was directed at them. They were so frightened that they nearly wet themselves.
Thud!
Those two youths immediately kneeled on the ground without any hesitation. Their heads resembled garlic bulbs. “Luo Feng, no, master! We had no idea who we were dealing with. Master, please give us another chance and give us all you’ve got!”
This was ridiculous. Li Yunhao was one of the twenty strongest students in Golden Sun Class, but he had miserably lost to Luo Feng. Meanwhile, those two other male students were only considered average in Golden Sun Class. They would be no match for Luo Feng even if ten of them went up against him.
Sarcasm was seen in Luo Feng’s eyes when he looked at the bawling pair who were still kneeling on the ground. “Golden Sun Class… Geniuses… You call yourselves the elite students of the Golden Sun Class… Hahaha…”
Suddenly, he was not interested anymore. He clasped his hands behind his back and loudly chuckled before he walked down the mountain.
The mountain breeze gently blew, but their surroundings were still eerily quiet.
Li Yunhao only stood up once Luo Feng had left for some time.
The young man wiped fresh blood off the corner of his mouth before he briefly glanced at his two companions who were next to him. He had a disdainful look before he sternly said, “If anyone dares to mention the things that happened today, I swear that I’ll personally destroy you!”
Those two students from Golden Sun Class returned to their senses and firmly shook their heads. “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Li. We’d rather die than mention the things that happened today!”
Li Yunhao had kneeled down in front of a Silver Moon Class student despite being a genius student from Golden Sun Class! The students from Golden Sun Class would definitely lose their influence in the institution if this humiliating matter was revealed to everyone else.
…
Luo Feng descended Purple Spirit Peak and walked on the path that led to the courtyard before he looked at his right fist and faintly frowned.
There was a little wound on his right fist that was slightly longer than an inch.
Previously, it seemed impossible to counter a sword with nothing but a fist. However, Luo Feng had entered the Level Three Meridian Cycle, which was also known as the Strength Boundary. An additional membrane had grown underneath his skin while his physical strength increased greatly. His incredible strength of more than 16000 pounds allowed him to use an attack that could defeat Li Yunhao in one move.
However, Luo Feng was still slightly injured because his fist was still a part of his flesh.
“It looks like I’ll have to buy a weapon.” Luo Feng decided to go home and change into a new set of clothes before he went to Green Edge Town to see if there were any suitable weapons for him.
He returned to his courtyard.
When he was preparing to go inside, Luo Feng suddenly noticed several scattered footprints on the ground beside him.
Those footprints were only an inch deep and they seemed rather fine as well. They probably belonged to a girl.
“I wonder who was trying to prank me.”
Luo Feng faintly frowned, but he chose to ignore it. He entered the courtyard and quickly washed up before he changed into a set of clean clothes and prepared to go to Green Edge Town.
He had just opened the door and walked outside when a mild and high-pitched voice suddenly rang out beside him.
“Good morning, Luo Feng.”
Luo Feng curiously raised his head before he exclaimed in surprise. “Class representative, what are you doing here?”
The beautiful young woman that stood next to him was his class representative, Bing Ruolan.
The girl’s clean, neat, and blue-colored short hair gently fluttered in the morning wind while the contours of her perky breasts were perfectly outlined by her tight school uniform. Her slender and pale thighs were also so flawless that they made the other girls envious. Bing Ruolan’s sapphire-like eyes resembled a deep, shimmering, and captivating pond when a pale light reflected across them. However, she looked slightly haggard because her complexion was rather pale.
When Bing Ruolan glanced at Luo Feng, the ends of her eyes turned bright red with shame. Despite her naturally cheerful personality, Bing Ruolan was usually by herself because she was a quiet person who spent most of her time cultivating her skills. This was the first time that she had sought out a male student on her own.
“Hey Luo Feng, there’s something about your aura! Did you advance past the Level Four Meridian Cycle, the Strength Boundary?” It seemed like Bing Ruolan had discovered a new continent when her gaze landed on Luo Feng. Her tone sounded rather shocked and widened both of her eyes.
“Yes, I advanced while I was training and cultivating at Purple Spirit Peak these few days,” Luo Feng said and smiled faintly while he scratched his head.
He managed to advance just by training…
Bing Ruolan seemed temporarily distracted while she was staring at Luo Feng. ‘No wonder he wasn’t at home these few days. I still can’t believe that he managed to advance to Level Four Strength Boundary within only ten days when he was previously at the middle phase of the Level Three Energy Boundary. His cultivation speed seems too fast,’ she thought.
‘He must be a genius… In that case, if he’s willing to help me, I can probably…’
When she thought of this, a determined look faintly appeared in Bing Ruolan’s gaze. She raised her head and looked at Luo Feng before she quietly said, “Luo Feng, can you cultivate the Roaring Tiger Fist with me for a while today?”
“Cultivate the Roaring Tiger Fist?” Luo Feng was briefly stunned before he immediately shook his head and replied, “I’m going to Green Edge Town because I have something to do there.”
‘He’s leaving again…’
A disappointed look lingered in Bing Ruolan’s gaze for some time while she placed her hands in front of her body and clasped them together tightly.
She cultivated the Roaring Tiger Fist with determination this whole time. Bing Ruolan hoped to cultivate the Roaring Tiger Fist to Level Four before the Roaming King Tournament so that she could get a prize if she ranked among the top ten in the competition.
However, the progress of her cultivation was extremely slow as each day passed and the day of the competition grew closer.
Even now, Bing Ruolan’s Roaring Tiger Fist had yet to reach Level Three fully. As such, Level Four was completely out of the question.
Three whole years had passed since Bing Ruolan entered the institution.
During those three years, she worked hard during her cultivation because she wanted to enter the Inner Institution. She slowly became the strongest person in Silver Moon Class, but that was not enough for her to enter the Inner Institution.
This year was Bing Ruolan’s last chance to enter the Inner Institution. If she failed, she would be forced to drop out, return to her family, and accept the fate that they had determined for her.
Bing Ruolan’s delicate figure faintly trembled when this thought crossed her mind. Teardrops trickled around her eyes and then fell on the ground. Her tears sounded like silver beads that made pitter-patter noises when they fell off a broken necklace.
She refused to accept this outcome.
