Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 796 - 794: Choosing a Fist Technique

On the main road, disciples from Linglong Hall appeared from time to time. Most of them were outer sect disciples. Upon seeing Luo Feng and Ling Qingwu from afar, they would invariably salute and greet them.

These female disciples, faces flushed, looked curiously at Luo Feng. Occasional giggles could be heard. Some even boldly posed various questions to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng had grasped Grand Momentum, defeated Yi Tian, an expert on the New Dragon List, and become the first male disciple of Linglong Hall in a century. His accomplishments were legendary, making these female disciples intensely curious about him.

Luo Feng was not good at dealing with such scenes and, steeling himself, said, "Junior Sisters, I have urgent matters to attend to now and will answer your questions next time. I must be going."

With that, Luo Feng urged Ling Qingwu to quicken her pace.

"Ah, Senior Brother Luo Feng is so modest! He doesn’t act like a New Dragon List expert at all."

"Oh dear, I wanted to ask him about him and Senior Sister Yang Wanyi, but he got away."

"Hee hee, there will be plenty of opportunities later..."

PHEW...

Having finally escaped the crowd, Luo Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Beside him, Ling Qingwu watched him with sparkling eyes and said, "I didn’t expect that Luo Feng, who could face Lu Xiao Yun—one of the top ten experts on the New Dragon List—without so much as a change in expression, would actually flee in such a panic."

Luo Feng gave an embarrassed smile. "That was then, this is now."

Ling Qingwu’s lips curled into a faint smile as she asked, "The Lingxiao Pavilion is just ahead. Which Secret Manual are you planning to choose? You cultivate the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber, so you don’t need to change your Saber Technique for now. I suggest you choose a Cultivation Technique. High-level Cultivation Techniques not only enhance a Martial Artist’s strength but also accelerate their cultivation speed. They are the cornerstone of every Martial Artist."

Luo Feng shook his head. "I plan to choose a fist technique."

Ling Qingwu gave him a surprised glance but, after a moment of thought, said nothing more.

Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi was robust. With his early-stage sixth-level Spiritual Rotation Realm cultivation, he had easily defeated Duan Lin, who was at the middle stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. This was undoubtedly due to his practice of an exceptional Cultivation Technique.

Since Luo Feng wasn’t choosing a Cultivation Technique now, the one he was practicing was very likely a superior grade Profound Level Cultivation Technique, or even an Earth Level one!

After navigating several corridors and crossing a jade bridge, Ling Qingwu said, "The Lingxiao Pavilion is just ahead."

At her words, Luo Feng looked ahead.

Two or three hundred meters ahead lay a small mountain peak, surrounded by water on all sides, with an exquisite pavilion gracing its summit.

The seven-story pavilion was encircled by nine jade pillars, each as thick as a water tank. Carved with dragons and phoenixes, they were remarkably lifelike. Swirling mists wreathed the structure, giving it the appearance of a celestial palace among the clouds.

When they arrived at the base of the pavilion, Luo Feng saw an elderly woman standing in front of it.

The woman had white hair and appeared to be past sixty, yet her skin was crystal clear and smooth, showing no signs of old age. Her features were delicate, hinting that she must have been a peerless beauty in her youth.

"Luo Feng, this is Elder Lingxiao. She is in charge of guarding the Lingxiao Pavilion."

Ling Qingwu introduced softly, stepping forward and bowing, "Greetings, Elder Lingxiao."

"Elder Lingxiao," Luo Feng also greeted politely.

Elder Lingxiao nodded, her gaze landing on Luo Feng. She looked at him for a moment before saying, "So you are Luo Feng?"

"Yes, I am," Luo Feng nodded.

Elder Lingxiao’s eyes showed admiration. "Your flesh and blood are condensed; you’ve actually achieved Spirit and Flesh Unity. It seems you cultivate an extremely potent Horizontal Practice Martial Art. Not bad, not bad at all..."

Luo Feng remained silent, but Ling Qingwu, standing beside him, knew full well that he wasn’t cultivating any Horizontal Practice Martial Art.

"Which floor are you planning to visit?" Elder Lingxiao asked.

"The third floor."

Ling Qingwu replied and then said to Luo Feng, "Give your Jade Token to the Elder."

Luo Feng took out the Yao Light Jade Token. "Elder Lingxiao, this is the Jade Token."

"A Yao Light Jade Token? How did you come to possess a Yao Light Jade Token?"

Elder Lingxiao was somewhat surprised. Luo Feng had only just arrived at the Golden Palace, yet he produced a Yao Light Jade Token. This truly astonished her.

Ling Qingwu, understanding the Elder’s thoughts, explained, "Luo Feng performed a great service, and this Yao Light Jade Token was awarded to him by the Second Hall Master."

"Shui Linglong?"

Elder Lingxiao frowned slightly, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

The head of a Demon Sect’s Demon General-level expert was required to exchange for one Yao Light Jade Token. But with Luo Feng’s cultivation, he shouldn’t be a match for a Demon General-level Demon Sect disciple. What kind of great service could possibly warrant a Yao Light Jade Token?

As the guardian Elder of the Lingxiao Pavilion, she was only responsible for managing it and couldn’t inquire too much. Thus, she nodded, took the Jade Token, and said to Luo Feng, "Go up and choose the Martial Arts Secret Manual you want to cultivate. Remember its number, then come to me to retrieve the manual. Also, Luo Feng, you are not one of the top ten Inner Sect Disciples, so you must come down within a quarter of an hour."

"Yes."

Luo Feng had already learned the rules of the Lingxiao Pavilion from Ling Qingwu on the way, so he wasn’t surprised.

"Alright, be on your way."

Elder Lingxiao gave a nod and waved her right hand.

WHOOSH!

Luo Feng immediately felt an invisible pressure coming towards him. When he came to his senses, he found that both he and Ling Qingwu were enveloped by a current of Qi and had already arrived before the entrance to the third floor.

After sending Luo Feng and Ling Qingwu off, Elder Lingxiao looked at the Yao Light Jade Token in her hand, still somewhat astonished.

Shui Linglong wouldn’t award a Yao Light Jade Token without good reason. But what kind of great service could merit such a generous reward...

"Elder Lingxiao, what are you talking about?"

Just then, a tall figure approached. Seeing the Yao Light Jade Token in Elder Lingxiao’s hand, the figure showed a surprised expression. "A Yao Light Jade Token! Does this mean someone has slain a Demon General-level expert from the Demon Sect?"

「Third floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion.」

Seeing Luo Feng’s astonished look, Ling Qingwu said, "You mustn’t underestimate Elder Lingxiao. She is a True Yuan Realm expert and is over one hundred and eighty years old."

"A True Yuan Realm expert?"

L Luo Feng nodded slightly. No wonder he couldn’t discern her cultivation earlier.

True Yuan Realm experts can live for two to three hundred years. At her age, the Elder was still in her prime.

Turning, he stepped onto the third floor and immediately sensed strong Yuan Qi fluctuations. He scanned his surroundings. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

There was no one else on the third floor. The layout was simple. The rows of bookshelves were not made of ordinary wood but crafted from priceless Black Heavy Iron Wood. Rumor had it that this wood grew in the abyssal depths of the sea, was harder than refined steel, and could last for ten thousand years without decaying.

The Yuan Qi fluctuations emanated from these bookshelves.

The bookshelves had five tiers, each divided into six small compartments. Every compartment was sealed by a Yuan Qi shield, through which the Secret Manuals inside could be seen.

Ling Qingwu approached and explained, "When you’ve chosen a Secret Manual, place your hand on its Yuan Qi shield to see its introduction. Once you’ve decided, you can go to Elder Lingxiao to retrieve the manual."

"I see."

Luo Feng nodded, grateful that Ling Qingwu had accompanied him. While pondering, he reached out and placed his right palm on the Yuan Qi shield before him.

HUM!

As his palm made light contact, the Yuan Qi shield vibrated slightly, and lines of text appeared upon it:

"Ten Thousand Water Xuan Palm, a Superior Grade Profound Level Palm Technique. It is divided into six stages. The first two stages are foundational. Reaching the third stage, one can manifest Xuan Water Palm Strength. With each subsequent stage advanced, the palm force condenses by three parts. At the sixth stage, the palm strength can be both hard and soft, capable of generating forty-nine variations!"
