Giant Wood Valley was like an abyss. Only a section of the sky as narrow as a thin line could be seen.
Countless giant pieces of wood that were hung by hinges filled the narrow valley and spun in the air in a disorderly manner.
When the pieces of wood turned, loud sounds of the wind being pierced were heard.
Nonetheless, Luo Feng was not surprised by the scene.
It was said that a unique formation was set in Giant Wood Valley, whereby the wood could spin while attacking people who entered the valley. It was mysteriously wonderful.
“Let’s go in!”
The Golden Sun Class students entered the valley after observing the spinning giant wood for some time.
Luo Feng followed them.
Wu! Wu! Wu!
The moment they entered Giant Wood Valley, giant pieces of wood the size of doors swung toward them, which were accompanied by strong winds. A few Golden Sun Class disciples who failed to dodge them shrieked painfully when they were hit into the air.
“A hit from a giant wood is equivalent to a hit from a martial artist at the peak of Strength Boundary! That’s terrifying.”
Luo Feng felt the biting cold wind when he avoided the giant wood that attacked him. He made a deduction of the giant wood’s force.
He lowered his body to avoid another giant wood that fell from mid-air, then dashed like an arrow that left its bow, where he dodged a giant piece of wood that spun toward him from behind.
Giant wood kept coming in his direction, and the entire valley was densely packed, yet Luo Feng was composed.
With two souls in his body, he had spiritual power so strong that he did not need to use his eyes to sense movements around him. Luo Feng could identify the pieces of wood accurately, thus he moved forward in an ideal path where he was unobstructed.
“F*ck, that fella from Silver Moon Class is very fast!”
One of the Golden Sun Class students yelled angrily when he noticed Luo Feng progressing quickly without being slowed down by the giant wood. On the contrary, the student was in trouble as soon as he entered the valley and was always close to getting hit.
“Ah!”
Right after the student commented, a giant wood swung toward him, which sent him flying again.
Luo Feng zoomed forward in a low stance and surpassed the Golden Sun Class students around him.
He went past five of them!
Ten of them!
Fifteen of them!
About seven minutes later, Golden Sun Class students were no longer around Luo Feng.
…
On the other side, Li Tianyang took swift and graceful steps as he led Lin Xiaoxiao past all the swinging giant wood. He managed to identify the giant wood’s blind spots each time, hence was able to avoid getting hit. Even though he had to lead Lin Xiaoxiao, he progressed very quickly.
Li Tianyang was secretly elated as he did so. ‘Luckily, I asked Father to inquire about the way to get past Giant Wood Valley, or I wouldn’t be able to stay ahead.’
After a certain distance, he was greeted with a brighter view, and the sound of flowing water could be heard as they arrived at a big river that was hundreds of meters wide. Li Tianyang and Lin Xiaoxiao left Giant Wood Valley successfully and reached the last obstacle, Wangchuan River.
When Li Tianyang saw a person ahead of him, he immediately sped up using Empyrean Mist Steps to catch up to that person. “Li Heshan, stop!”
The person was Li Heshan, the number one genius in Golden Sun Class.
Puzzled, Li Heshan looked at Li Tianyang.
‘Is he going to fight for the first throne too? Hmph, I’d like to see what tricks he has up his sleeves.’
Li Heshan asked, “What is it?”
Standing with his hands behind his back, Li Tianyang smiled. “Nothing much, I just want to invite you to a show here before we continue with the tournament.”
“I’m not interested.”
Li Heshan waved his hand and was ready to proceed. Right then, Lin Xiaoxiao stood beside Li Tianyang.
After taking a look at Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Heshan suddenly remembered what Qin Luoxue mentioned about Luo Feng yesterday, thus he stopped to ask Li Tianyang, “Li Tianyang, are you planning to fight Luo Feng here?”
Li Tianyang was startled for a while before he nodded. “That’s right!”
“Interesting, I’ll stay to watch then.” Li Heshan laughed out loud, then went on top of a gigantic rock ten steps away.
Li Tianyang had no idea why Li Heshan suddenly changed his mind, but he could not care less. His aim was to make Li Heshan stay until he was done beating Luo Feng up, so as to have a chance to fight for the first throne after that.
As time passed, two people exited Giant Wood Valley.
“It’s them…” Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them enviously.
The people were Qin Luoxue, a genius from Golden Sun Class, and Bing Ruolan.
Qin Luoxue had beautiful long hair, and attractive facial features that made her stand out; Bing Ruolan had short blue hair, and a pair of sapphire eyes that made her look lively and youthful. Both of them were among the top three beauties in Purple Sun Institution’s Outer Institution. The moment they appeared, Lin Xiaoxiao was instantly overshadowed.
Noticing the unusual atmosphere, Qin Luoxue asked, “Li Heshan, what’s going on?”
Li Heshan gestured with his brows. “Li Tianyang’s going to beat Luo Feng up, I’m staying because I’m interested.”
‘He’s really going to fight Luo Feng!’
Bing Ruolan was concerned upon hearing that. She held her hands together subconsciously as she looked at Li Tianyang.
“Li Tianyang’s cultivation base is above mine, and he has Lin Xiaoxiao on his side. Even if I step in, Luo Feng and I are no match for them.” Bing Ruolan was extremely anxious, such that she even secretly prayed that Luo Feng had been eliminated in Demon Forest and Giant Wood Valley. Only then Luo Feng would not have to face Li Tianyang!
However, she knew very well that it was unlikely that Luo Feng was eliminated.
“Eh? Someone else is here, that’s fast, I wonder who it is?” Li Heshan looked toward the exit of Giant Wood Valley as he was curious.
The rest looked in that direction too.
Since they were the strongest people in the entire Outer Institution, it only made sense that the other contestants would finish after a long time. Therefore, they were eager to find out who the dark horse was.
“How can it be him!”
When one of them exclaimed, the others were also shocked when they saw who just came out of Giant Wood Valley.
While the delicate-looking teen was not sturdy, he gave the impression as if he towered like a mountain. On top of that, the one-person long blood-colored saber he carried behind him gave him a stronger killing intent. It was Luo Feng who exited Giant Wood Valley.
Luo Feng took a look around when he walked closer to the others and quickly understood what was going on. He said, “Hehe, the great geniuses from Outer Institution are here. You’re not waiting for me, are you?”
“Luo Feng…”
Bing Ruolan approached him. Just as she was about to explain, Li Tianyang laughed ominously. “Hahaha… Luo Feng, I’ve been waiting for you. We should settle what happened at Green Edge Town the other day!”
Li Tianyang fixed his gaze on Luo Feng as he walked toward him. He had a frightening aura.
“Indeed, it’s time for us to settle it.”
Luo Feng nodded at Li Tianyang. When he was about to take a step forward, Bing Ruolan whispered to him, “Luo Feng, you’re not a match for Li Tianyang. Pretend that you’re going to exchange blows with him, then find a chance to cross Wangchuan River, I’ll stop him. As long as you’re back at the institution, he won’t touch you.”
He responded with a smile, “I got this.”
Subsequently, he walked past Bing Ruolan and took a short look at Lin Xiaoxiao before he finally set his eyes on Li Tianyang. The fact that Luo Feng disregarded Lin Xiaoxiao made her mad.
Li Tianyang crossed his arms in front of his chest, then expressed in a playful manner, “Luo Feng, I’ll give you a chance. If you hand me the Tiger Essence Saber now and kowtow to me, I’ll let you go. If not, I’ll break all your limbs and you’ll have to move sideways back to the institution!”
“Is that so?”
Luo Feng’s tone was very cold even though he looked calm. “Break all my limbs, that sounds like a great idea. I’ll break all your limbs later so that you’ll get a taste of it.”
“Luo Feng’s extremely gutsy, but unfortunately, he’s too bold. An arrogant person without actual strength is only asking for an insult.” Li Heshan shook his head while looking at Luo Feng.
“It hasn’t ended yet, don’t jump to conclusions so quickly…” Qin Luoxue smiled meaningfully.
“You think he can defeat Li Tianyang?”
“I just think that Luo Feng’s not a simple person. He knows very well that Li Tianyang’s cultivation base is above his, yet he’s so calm. Besides, based on his strength, he couldn’t have exited Giant Wood Valley so quickly. I can’t see through him.” Qin Luoxue furrowed her brows.
“You’re overthinking. He just hasn’t gotten his lesson yet, so he doesn’t understand that there’s always someone better out there.” Li Heshan shook his head.
“Haha… How dare you behave so arrogantly when you’re just trash in Strength Boundary’s later phase? I can crush you easily with one finger! Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish!” Li Tianyang glared at Luo Feng. Followed by that, a whistle was heard due to the strong wind that blew when he wielded his fist at Luo Feng.
“Falling Stone Fist! Luo Feng, quick, move! It’s a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial art!”
Bing Ruolan quickly yelled.
Falling Stone Fist was a violent Yellow Rank Middle Class fist technique. A punch was similar to a falling gigantic stone that could shake a mountain. If Li Tianyang were to use Falling Stone Fist and his Harsh-trained Martial Art Iron Hill Wall together, his power would increase greatly!
“Perfect timing!”
As if he did not hear Bing Ruolan’s warning, Luo Feng shouted, then attacked with Raging Tiger Leaves Cave.
Every muscle in his arm tensed up when he attacked and bore an aura so fierce as if a ferocious beast had just awakened.
“Ah! Level Five Meridian Cycle Boundary, Iron Bone Boundary!”
Bing Ruolan who sensed Luo Feng’s formidable aura covered her mouth as she exclaimed.
Judging from Luo Feng’s aura, he was definitely in Iron Bone Boundary, and his cultivation base was even above Bing Ruolan’s!
At that moment, Li Heshan, Qin Luoxue, and Lin Xiaoxiao were also dumbfounded.
Lin Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale as she looked at Luo Feng blankly.
She managed to advance to Strength Boundary’s peak since she gained a lot of help from Duanmu Yu, so she was shocked that Luo Feng had surpassed her!
Boom!
Luo Feng who moved like a ferocious beast shook the ground with every step he took. He charged at Li Tianyang like a raging tiger!
