“Li Yuanhao, what do you mean?”
Ji Wuyue’s eyebrow twitched. She shot a look at Li Yuanhao.
Li Yuanhao sneered, then looked away without answering her.
“Someone’s coming!”
All of a sudden, the institution was filled with cheers. Everyone craned their necks to look at the South Entrance.
Two figures were seen speeding toward the institution beyond the institution’s South Entrance.
“Two of them? I wonder who they are?”
Zi Hongyuan squinted his eyes.
“According to their cultivation bases, Li Heshan should come out top. His Great Shift Steps is already in Success State, and in terms of Light Body martial art, only Li Tianyang and Qin Luoxue are his worthy opponents.”
“Qin Luoxue cultivated Cloud Smoke Steps, which is light and graceful. The Light Body martial arts of Li Heshan and Li Tianyang are extremely different from hers, I think it’ll be Li Heshan and Li Tianyang.”
The mentors and founding members began analyzing upon noticing the two figures.
“Hahaha… It’s definitely Yang’er!”
Li Yuanhao stood up excitedly as he watched the figures who were heading for the thrones.
“Congratulations, congratulations. With those qualities, your son will definitely be able to enter a Golden Hall, he has a bright future…”
A number of mentors and founding members of the institution congratulated Li Yuanhao.
A father’s honor increases as his son’s position advances. With such an outstanding son, Li Yuanhao would have a higher status in the institution from then now.
Ji Wuyue bit her lips as she gripped her seat tightly. She was not resigned with the said outcome.
Since nobody from Silver Moon Class had the strength to fight for the first three thrones, she did not have high hopes.
However, Li Yuanhao’s attitude irritated her to the extent that she would rather have Qin Luoxue finish first instead of Li Tianyang!
“Eh? Who’s that saber-carrying teen beside Li Heshan?” Zi Hongyuan tried to look at the two people who were approaching.
“Director, that’s my son, Li Tianyang,” Li Yuanhao answered firmly. He was certain about his answer because Li Tianyang’s weapon was Ring Pommel Sword.
At the spur of the moment, everyone fell silent. Zi Hongyuan let out a dry cough, then said to Li Yuanhao awkwardly, “Li Yuanhao, I don’t think that’s Li Tianyang.”
“Director, you really like to make jokes.”
Li Yuanhao smiled. When he looked toward the South Entrance again, he was stunned.
The two people had already entered the South Entrance by then and could be clearly seen.
Unquestionably, one of the teens with thick eyebrows was Li Heshan.
The sword-carrying teen beside him was…
“Impossible!”
The smile on Li Yuanhao’s face froze. He later shouted, then fell back into his seat with a pale face as if he saw a ghost. Li Yuanhao repeated, “How can it be him, how can it be him…”
“Who’s that sword-carrying teen? He’s actually on par with Li Heshan!”
“He’s wearing a Silver Moon Class uniform, he’s probably a Silver Moon Class student!”
“A Silver Moon Class student? Apart from Bing Ruolan, Nan Fei who’s second-best in Silver Moon Class only has the strength of Strength Boundary’s middle phase, how can he be Li Heshan’s match?”
“That’s true, I wonder where this dark horse came from.”
“Eh! That saber… He’s the teen who triumphed over Li Tianyang in Green Edge Town, Luo Feng! I recognize him!”
…
The crowd clamored as they discussed the teen who was shoulder to shoulder with Li Heshan.
“Ji Wuyue, congratulations! Congratulations! I can’t believe that you have such an excellent student! It’s worthy of celebration!” After identifying the other person, the mentors around Ji Wuyue congratulated her.
“What are you congratulating me for?” Ji Wuyue frowned at the mentor who spoke to her.
Thinking that the two students who were arriving were Li Tianyang and Li Heshan, she no longer paid attention to the situation.
That mentor then pointed at the square with a smile. “Luo Feng from your class is now strong enough to be on par with Li Heshan, shouldn’t you be congratulated?”
‘Luo Feng?’
Ji Wuyue shook her head and smiled bitterly as she thought that the mentor was only joking around.
She was very clear about Luo Feng’s strength. Although he was an innate genius and had limitless potential, his cultivation base was only Strength Boundary’s later phase, thus it was impossible for him to be as strong as Li Heshan.
While Ji Wuyue thought so, she could not help but look toward the square.
Swoosh!
Ji Wuyue was utterly shocked when she noticed the familiar figure. She sprung up from her seat and ran to the edge of the bleachers.
“It really is him…”
When Ji Wuyue looked at the two students near the South Entrance, she clenched her fists tightly, then punched the bleachers. She uttered, “You damn fella! How dare you lie to me, I’m going to punish you later!”
The two people who were arriving were Li Heshan and Luo Feng.
After leaving Bing Ruolan, Luo Feng exerted his full force to execute Soaring Dragon Steps, and finally caught up to Li Heshan before they arrived at the institution.
“Luo Feng, I can’t believe that your Light Body martial art is quite impressive!” Li Heshan commented while speeding toward his destination.
His Giant Shift Steps was one of the exceptional Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts and was already in Success State. Therefore, he initially thought that he could stay ahead of Luo Feng easily, where he would claim the first Roaming King Throne, but it turned out that it was hard to get rid of Luo Feng.
Through Soaring Dragon Steps, Luo Feng was neck to neck with Li Heshan. Nevertheless, Luo Feng was calm. “Li Heshan, I said that the first Roaming King Throne belongs to me!”
Li Heshan did not rebuke Luo Feng this time.
In terms of Light Body martial art, Luo Feng was above Li Heshan. Without a higher cultivation base, Li Heshan would have been far behind Luo Feng already.
“What’s your Light Body martial art? Why have I never seen it before?”
Luo Feng answered, “I’ll tell you after I claim the first Roaming King Throne. I’ll be going first.”
Swoosh!
With that, the four invisible Qi Dragons around Luo Feng suddenly moved more aggressively, which increased his speed again. He became three to four steps ahead of Li Heshan!
Luo Feng could still speed up!
Li Heshan was both surprised and furious.
Earlier on, he thought that they had the same speed and that Luo Feng had also reached his limit. He did not think that Luo Feng was actually holding back.
If that was the case, Luo Feng would definitely be the one claiming the first Roaming King Throne, so Li Heshan dared not be careless. As such, he quickly pulled his sword out, then struck at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was already prepared for this. He blocked Li Heshan’s sudden attack with his Tiger Essence Saber, then stopped to look at Li Heshan.
“Li Heshan, you finally made a move.”
Li Heshan held his sword calmly. “Luo Feng, I admit that my Light Body martial art isn’t as good as yours, but Roaming King Tournament isn’t all about Light Body martial art! You should be proud that you forced me into this! Wind-chasing Thirteen Swords!”
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Over ten sword lights resulted from Li Heshan’s sword, which sealed Luo Feng.
“Wind-chasing Sword Technique…”
Luo Feng squinted his eyes when he sensed the chilly sword lights.
Wind-chasing Sword Technique was one of the more reputable sword techniques among Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts. One’s sword would appear dancing in a strong wind, which confused one’s opponent, and made it hard to be guarded against.
“Hahahaha… Luo Feng, looks like the first Roaming King Throne belongs to me after all!” Li Heshan laughed out loud upon seeing that Luo Feng was sealed. He was going to leave by using his Great Shift Steps.
“You rejoiced too early.” Luo Feng used stillness to suppress the movement, where he counterattacked the moment the sword lights were near him!
Huala!
Deflected sword lights filled the air as Luo Feng’s Tiger Essence Saber clashed with Li Heshan’s sword. Consequently, a strong wind was stirred up, which forced both of them to back away.
At last, Li Heshan became deeply concerned.
Previously, he did not think much about Luo Feng’s force when he observed him from a distance away. At this moment, he finally experienced Luo Feng’s intimidating force. With just one move, Luo Feng actually disintegrated all the sword lights produced by Li Tianyang.
His sword technique foundation was extremely solid and his moves were clean and smooth.
That being said, Li Heshan suddenly smirked, he pounced on Luo Feng swiftly.
“Nice blade technique, let’s see how many times you can stop me!”
“Bring it on!” Luo Feng who had strong fighting will did not flinch.
Due to Li Heshan’s remarkable cultivation base in sword techniques and the great disparity between their cultivation bases, Li Heshan was the perfect opponent for Luo Feng. Luo Feng could utilize this opportunity to practice his combat ability and could eliminate the flaws in his blade technique at the same time, which was advantageous for his growth in strength.
The instant they crashed, the sound of metal hitting each other filled the air. Soon enough, they were drowned in blade lights and sword shadows.
On the bleachers, the students from Golden Sun Class and Silver Moon Class widened their eyes. Many of them even stood up from their seats.
“Luo Feng is actually on par with Li Heshan, it’s impressive!”
“Tsk, tsk, Silver Moon Class actually has a freak. He’s giving Li Heshan a tough fight even though he only has the strength of Iron Bone Body’s early phase. Based on the intensity of their battle, it looks like they’re not at all inferior to Inner Institution students.”
“He’s probably the biggest dark horse this year…”
“We should cultivate harder too, or they’ll surpass us soon.”
A number of Inner Institution students who were here to observe the tournament commented on the intense battle happening on the square.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect this unforeseen event for Roaming King Tournament this year. Luo Feng reminds me of Lu Xiaoyun from three years ago. Back then, Lu Xiaoyun was also unknown to the public, but he amazed everyone all of a sudden and is now one of the Ten Rising Dragons in Flowing Cloud Ridge. Three years went by in the blink of an eye.” Zi Hongyuan who sat on the highest seat on the bleachers looked at Luo Feng and commented.
“Lu Xiaoyun? The super genius? Can Luo Feng be considered on equal terms with him?” One of the founding members with white hair was shocked.
Zi Hongyuan pointed at Luo Feng, then asked, “Do you know what Light Body martial art Luo Feng cultivated?”
“His Light Body cultivation base is above Li Heshan’s, and the technique seems very mysterious. It looks like a high grade Light Body martial art, but I’ve never seen it before.” The other founding members and mentor nodded.
On the left side of the bleachers, the middle-aged mentor who guarded Martial Arts Hall looked at Luo Feng closely, then slapped his forehead. “I remember, he’s the one who borrowed the Soaring Dragon Steps manual!”
‘Soaring Dragon Steps!’
The other mentors and founding members were surprised.
“Hehe, that’s right! If I’m not mistaken, he was using Soaring Dragon Steps! Not only that, but he was also surrounded by four Qi Dragons, it’s evident that he has cultivated Soaring Dragon Steps to Level Four!” Zi Hongyuan stated cheerfully.
Tss…
The mentors and founding members gasped at Luo Feng.
The wonderful Soaring Dragon Steps was known to everyone in Purple Sun Institution, but it had never been successfully cultivated for over ten years. Many founding members and even Director Zi Honyuan himself tried but failed.
Moreover, Lu Xiaoyun the super genius only managed to reach the threshold of Soaring Dragons Steps’ first level!
If Luo Feng actually cultivated Soaring Dragon Steps to Level Four, he must have an incredible apprehension!
“Li Heshan’s cultivation base is above Luo Feng’s, but Luo Feng has a fantastic Light Body martial art, I wonder who will claim the first Roaming King Throne…” Someone remarked.
“Hmph, Luo Feng may have a great apprehension and his Light Body martial art is more superior to Li Heshan’s, but strength is strength. Since he only has the cultivation base of Iron Bone Boundary’s early phase, he’s not Li Heshan’s match at all. He has no hope in claiming the first Roaming King Throne!”
Li Yuanhao who regained his senses stared at Luo Feng with a dark face.
“That’s true.”
The people around him nodded in agreement. After all, the difference between their boundaries was huge.
