Luo Feng slashed his Tiger Essence Saber in an arc, which ended at Lu Han.
Huala!
The intense sword light vanished as soon as the saber and the sword clashed.
“How is this possible…”
Lu Han was appalled by the fact that Luo Feng’s martial art was superior to his.
Pfft!
Without any chance to counter, Lu Han was sent flying by the powerful force and spat blood in the air.
The students from both institutions looked at Luo Feng in awe.
“That’s so cool! He actually defeated Lu Han in three moves! Is this real?”
“Looks like it was by no means accidental that Luo Feng was the champion of Roaming King Tournament, his strength is definitely above Li Heshan’s!”
“Tsk, tsk. He defeated Lu Han with a cultivation base of Iron Bone Boundary’s peak and reminds me of Young Master Duanmu from a year ago. Back then, Young Master Duanmu also challenged Inner Institution students when he was at Iron Bone Boundary.”
When Luo Feng became Roaming King Tournament’s champion, many Golden Sun Class students were not resigned to the outcome as they thought that he was just lucky.
They were finally convinced after witnessing Lu Han, the number one genius from Extensive Net Institution, being defeated by Luo Feng in three moves.
…
Luo Feng’s victory was unexpected.
The greatest advantage of a martial artist in Heroic Boundary was the ability to oppress enemies through momentum!
That being said, Lu Han could do no harm to Luo Feng who had strong spiritual power.
Luo Feng’s Heaven-crushing Blade Technique was no longer inferior to a Yellow Rank Upper Class martial art since he had cultivated it to Level Three. In addition to his unusual force, Lu Han’s defeat was undeniable.
“Senior Brother Lu Han, are you alright?” A few Extensive Net Institution students helped Lu Han up.
“I’m alright,” Lu Han replied.
After all, he was a martial artist in Heroic Boundary with a sturdy physique. Apart from some light injuries, his vital energy was slightly affected.
“Haha, thanks for the Jade Iron Juice.”
Luo Feng happily picked it up.
Lu Han’s eyes twitched when Luo Feng was about to take the Jade Iron Juice.
He spent a lot of money in return for it and only took it out without hesitation because he was confident about defeating Luo Feng. As it turned out, Luo Feng was unexpectedly strong.
Luo Feng clapped his hands and smiled at Lu Han who had a sorrowful expression. “Lu Han, looks like this Jade Iron Juice is very important to you. How about we fight again, and I place this as my bet?”
‘Again?’
Lu Han smiled bitterly as he had nothing else that was worth the Jade Iron Juice.
He shook his head, then stared at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, I admit that you’re powerful! You’re stronger than I expected, but I only lost to you because of my martial art’s grade! My Gale Sword Technique isn’t a match for your blade technique. I’ll become an Inner Institution student soon, where I’ll be able to cultivate a Yellow Rank Supreme Class martial art. I’ll definitely defeat you the next time I meet you!”
“See you during Rising Star Meeting!”
Subsequently, Lu Han left with the Extensive Net Institution students.
The Outer Institution students were rather excited when they saw Lu Han and his people leave embarrassingly.
Among the four great institutions, Extensive Net Institution and Purple Sun Institution were never really on good terms. On top of that, Extensive Net Institution was always above Purple Sun Institution in terms of strength, hence many Purple Sun Institution students felt inferior to Extensive Net Institution students.
Seeing as Luo Feng defeated two masters from Extensive Net Institution’s Outer Institution in a row, many Purple Sun Institution students admired him deeply.
He became honorable all of a sudden.
“Luo Feng, you’re really powerful. Lu Han’s a well-known genius from Extensive Net Institution and is a hot pick for the next Four Rising Stars, yet you defeated him in three moves. I was worried about how things will end. If you didn’t defeat Lu Han, Purple Sun Institution will end up in a terrible spot.”
Qin Luoxue and Bing Ruolan approached Luo Feng with smiles.
“That was a piece of cake.”
Luo Feng chuckled. He then asked when he recalled Lu Han’s words before he left, “Oh right, what’s Rising Star Meeting?”
“Don’t you know?”
Qin Luoxue was surprised. She explained, “Rising Star Meeting is a martial art meeting held annually by the four great institutions. The institutions’ ranks correspond to the rank of their respective student representatives in the meeting. The higher the institution’s rank, the more its privilege.”
After a short sigh, Qin Luoxue added, “Our institution ranked fourth in the previous Rising Star Meeting, so we had the least privilege.”
‘I see.’
Luo Feng was clueless about this as he had been wasting his time on Lin Xiaoxiao for three years.
He suddenly remembered Zi Yuan whom he met on the third floor at Martial Arts Hall.
“Zi Yuan’s already near Essence Boundary, yet she was ranked fourth in Rising Star Meeting, there must be a number of talented individuals in hiding.”
“Luo Feng, based on Lu Han’s potential and yours, you’ll definitely be qualified to participate in the upcoming Rising Star Meeting. You’ll likely meet again,” Qin Luoxue stated with a smile.
Luo Feng did not respond.
Since he defeated Lu Han earlier, the outcome would be the same if they were to fight again.
Just as Luo Feng was about to leave, noises were heard behind the institution’s entrance when a group of people walked out.
The crowd turned to look.
“Young Master Duanmu!”
Some students shouted when they saw the person at the front.
The youthful teen that led the group of people was Duanmu Yu. He looked so stern and seemed unapproachable.
“Heroic Boundary’s middle phase!”
Luo Feng’s face darkened when he looked at Duanmu Yu.
After not meeting for half a month, Duanmu Yu grew stronger. He was indeed worthy of being a genius.
“Trashes from Extensive Net Institution! Didn’t you say that you want to challenge Young Master Duanmu? He’s here now, come meet your death!”
A student beside Duanmu Yu scanned the area. He was later stunned when he noticed the marks of saber and sword on the ground.
“The Extensive Net Institution students left,” someone informed.
Duanmu Yu frowned and asked, “What happened?”
After hearing the whole course of the incident, Duanmu Yu cast a look at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, you defeated Lu Han?”
Luo Feng nodded calmly. “Yes.”
“Iron Bone Boundary’s peak, this fella advanced again…”
A strange look flashed across Duanmu Yu’s face when he looked at Luo Feng.
“Young Master…”
Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her fist and glared coldly at Luo Feng.
Not only did she lose the top three places in Roaming King Tournament because of him, but she could not make it to the top six either.
She hated Luo Feng bitterly because of this.
Duanmu Yu nodded, then approached him. “Not bad! It’s quite surprising that you defeated a powerhouse in Heroic Boundary when you’re only in Iron Bone Boundary. Luo Feng, you’re the first Roaming King this year, and I was the first Roaming King last year, are you up for a match?”
“Ah!”
Many people widened their mouths as they did not expect things to turn out this way.
Luo Feng sneered at Duanmu Yu. “Duanmu Yu, you became the first Roaming King earlier than I did…”
He knew very well that he was not yet a match for a martial artist in Heroic Boundary’s middle phase, he owed part of his victory earlier to Lu Han’s negligence. It would be too forceful if he were to fight Duanmu Yu now.
“Luo Feng, weren’t you behaving presumptuously before this? You beat up Li Tianyang terribly, and even belittled Mentor Li Yuanhao, why have you become so timid?”
An Inner Institution student behind Duanmu Yu taunted.
“Exactly, Young Master Duanmu only wants to exchange a few blows with you, why are you so afraid?”
A few of them jeered behind Duanmu Yu.
“Luo Feng, you said that Young Master Duanmu won the title of the first Roaming King a year earlier than you did, but this fact remains no matter how much time passes. Are you going to use this as an excuse forever? It’s not a good excuse.”
“Exactly, if you’re terrified, admit that you’re not a match for Young Master Duanmu, and kneel to accept your defeat. That’s more like it.”
“You’re pushing him too far!”
Bing Ruolan stared at the Inner Institution students, then said to Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, let’s leave.”
Luo Feng looked at the group of people behind Duanmu Yu, then shot a look at the noisiest student. “Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me like that!
“You’re courting death!”
Although Luo Feng became reputable in the Outer Institution, the Inner Institution students disregarded him. Besides, he was a Silver Moon Class student.
The teen that Luo Feng stared at was enraged as he felt humiliated and struck at Luo Feng’s chest.
“Get lost!”
Luo Feng avoided that teen’s attack easily through Soaring Dragon Steps, then he kicked his butt.
“Ah!”
The Inner Institution student with the strength of Iron Bone Boundary’s peak shrieked painfully. He was sent flying ten meters away, where he passed out after falling to the ground.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before the others realized what happened, the Inner Institution student was already on the ground.
“Duanmu Yu, you don’t have to be so pretentious.”
Luo Feng pointed a finger at Duanmu Yu coldly, and declared powerfully, “One month! In one month, I’ll challenge you at the gymnasium!”
‘He’s gone mad!’
The crowd thought that Luo Feng had gone mad.
Even though Luo Feng was strong, Duanmu Yu was unlike the Inner Institution student who had just been kicked away.
Putting aside the fact that Duanmu Yu had the cultivation base of Heroic Boundary’s middle phase, his uncle was an elder of the Twelve Golden Halls and his brother was a Heavenly Sword Hall student! With that, Duanmu Yu’s cultivation resources were far more than an ordinary person’s. He cultivated high-class martial arts and even Yellow Rank Supreme Class martial arts!
Even in a year’s time, nobody would think that Luo Feng was a match for Duanmu Yu, let alone a month’s time.
