Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 807 - 805: Must Not Lose to Luo Feng

"It’s nothing."

Luo Feng naturally wouldn’t talk about the events that happened in the Red Ancient Wasteland that day.

Seeing that Luo Feng didn’t wish to discuss it, Yan Feihua refrained from asking further, carefully observing Luo Feng.

His composed attitude made her feel a sense of goodwill. Most people stammered in front of her while traversing the world, whereas Luo Feng behaved appropriately with poise and courtesy, making it hard to dislike him.

Realizing she had been overthinking, Yan Feihua said, "Junior Brother, about what happened earlier, I hope you don’t take it to heart."

Luo Feng shook his head, "I’m not that petty."

Being the only man in the Linglong Hall, it’s understandable that others might think that way.

"Then, thank you, Senior Sister. You all probably know the background of this hunting event. The rewards this time are very generous, so do your best to earn a spot for the rewards. Oh, and you have the ability to defeat Yi Tian and Duan Lin; you might become one of the ten new dragons one day. We are rivals, after all. I’ll take my leave now."

Yan Feihua glanced at Luo Feng, smiled slightly, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and said:

"Lu Xiao Yun will also participate in this hunting event. He’s a ruthless person, so be cautious."

"Rest assured, Senior Sister Yan, I know my limits."

Luo Feng nodded his head, watching Yan Feihua leave, and said to Nanxuan, "Let’s go too."

The two then turned around and headed towards the Purple Yao Square.

On the way, Nanxuan looked at Luo Feng, smiling and said:

"Senior Brother, I didn’t expect that Senior Sister Yan Feihua would see you as a rival. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her pay so much attention to someone."

Luo Feng smiled faintly; his goal was to become the number one in the Canglang Dynasty, with both Lu Xiao Yun and Yan Feihua as his competitors.

When he looked at Nanxuan, Luo Feng suddenly remarked in surprise:

"Nanxuan, have you advanced to the Four Spirit Rotations?"

"Yes."

Nanxuan nodded proudly with a beaming expression, "I owe a lot to you, Senior Brother. Watching you spar with all those masters along the way, I gained a lot of insight."

"Moreover, compared to me, the progress in your strength is what’s truly remarkable—you even managed to exchange over ten moves with Senior Sister Yang Wanyi and retreat unscathed."

Looking at Luo Feng, Nanxuan chuckled.

Luo Feng smiled faintly, "I ended up losing in the end."

"Senior Sister Yang Wanyi is ranked 34th on the new dragon list!"

Nanxuan rolled her eyes, pouting, "Senior Brother, you’re truly hard to satisfy. Do you even realize how many people in the Golden Palace see you as an idol? Even the Head Senior Sister pays so much attention to you."

"You’re such a mischievous one."

Luo Feng tapped Nanxuan’s forehead and said, "Let’s move quickly."

"I’m just stating the facts." Nanxuan dashed after Luo Feng.

They traversed a few corridors and crossed a grand jade bridge, soon arriving at the Purple Yao Square.

The vast Purple Yao Square was bustling with thousands of people standing in three formations. Other disciples from Linglong Hall were arriving continuously.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, your team is on the east side of the square, please follow me."

Upon entering the Purple Yao Square, a young girl dressed in an outer sect disciple uniform immediately approached them.

Luo Feng nodded and followed her.

On the east side of the Purple Yao Square, a large group of Linglong Hall disciples stood in groups of five.

"Captain, Nanxuan, over here!"

In the middle of the crowd, Lin Xin stood on tiptoe, waving at Luo Feng from afar.

Luo Feng and Nanxuan made their way over.

Lin Yue’er stood beside Lin Xin, and upon seeing Luo Feng, she smiled warmly:

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, why did it take you so long to arrive? We were just about to go look for you."

Luo Feng touched his nose, not mentioning his encounter with Yan Feihua, and smiled, "Something came up on the way that delayed me."

"Our team is only missing Senior Sister Xia Yunjing now," said Lin Yue’er.

Luo Feng nodded, standing next to Lin Yue’er, and turned his head, catching sight of Ling Qingwu.

Ling Qingwu was in the southern group. Noticing Luo Feng’s gaze, she nodded slightly. In the crowd further away, Yang Wanyi, dressed in a fiery red dress, saw Luo Feng and raised her lovely eyebrows, waving her fair wrist at him from a distance.

Luo Feng smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping across the square, feeling slightly stirred.

So many experts!

The aura of these disciples was immensely powerful; nearly ten of them bore an aura on par with Yang Wanyi and Ling Qingwu, exuding an air of dominance and prowess. They must be among the top-ranked inner sect disciples.

"All the senior sisters have returned; I haven’t seen such a grand scene in a long time."

Nanxuan also surveyed the crowd.

"Yes, Senior Sister Xu Ying, Senior Sister Yixin, and Senior Sister Yan Feihua have all returned. Senior Sister Yan Feihua’s aura is incredibly strong; I wonder to what level her Haoran Golden Lotus Jue has been cultivated." Lin Yue’er glanced around, her pretty face showing surprise.

Luo Feng’s gaze shifted to the crowd opposite him. Yan Feihua stood at the forefront, appearing to have an invisible aura around her, making others cautious.

He sensed earlier that Yan Feihua’s aura was somewhat similar to Ling Qingwu’s; it turned out they both cultivated the Haoran Golden Lotus Jue.

Like the Daluo Golden Flame Skill, the Haoran Golden Lotus Jue is also a Profound Level supreme cultivation technique.

The Daluo Golden Flame Skill is more focused on attack, with explosive Yuan Qi, possessing the might to destroy the heavens and earth with a single gesture, while the Haoran Golden Lotus Jue is balanced in attack and defense, with robust Yuan Qi. Both techniques are renowned in the martial world.

At that moment, Nanxuan tugged at Luo Feng, "Senior Brother Luo Feng, Senior Sister Xia Yunjing is here."

On a stone bridge across from them, Xia Yunjing was stepping forward. Beside her was a figure, who was the Law Enforcement Elder Gu Xifeng. Their eyes occasionally glanced this way.

"Yunjing, this hunting conference is not trivial. Strive to improve your results as much as possible."

Gu Xifeng glanced in the direction of Luo Feng’s presence and said, "If necessary, don’t hesitate to act independently."

Xia Yunjing frowned slightly, hesitating, "But, we are a team now. Doing so..."

"You are too indecisive in your actions."

Gu Xifeng shook her head slightly and said:

"Among these four, only Luo Feng shows some potential, but his experience in the martial world is shallow. He likely hasn’t encountered such significant events and will only hinder you. The rewards of this hunting conference will greatly impact your future cultivation — it’s not child’s play. You mustn’t hesitate during such times. The greater the hunting contribution you make, the better it will be for the whole team. Of course, since everyone is a fellow disciple, try to ensure their safety as well."

Xia Yunjing nodded silently and suddenly remarked, "Luo Feng has already broken through to the mid-stage of the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

"Is this true?"

Gu Xifeng was taken aback, slightly surprised.

When Luo Feng faced Yi Tian, he was only at the late stage of the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. The last time she saw him, he had already reached the Sixth Level. She was quite surprised then and didn’t expect such a rapid breakthrough again.

Xia Yunjing nodded again.

Gu Xifeng paused for a moment, her expression suddenly turned stern, and she said:

"Yunjing, in this hunting conference, you may lose to anyone. But you must not lose to Luo Feng."

Xia Yunjing understood why Gu Xifeng’s expression changed and seriously promised, "I will surpass him. Not just Luo Feng, but one day, I will surpass Yan Feihua and become the top Inner Sect Disciple."

Gu Xifeng nodded with satisfaction. Apart from being somewhat indecisive, Xia Yunjing excelled in everything else.

"Elder, I will head over now."

Xia Yunjing took her leave and walked straight towards the team.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Xia Yunjing!"

"Senior Sister!"

"Hehe, now all five of us are here."

Lin Yue’er and others greeted Xia Yunjing one after another.

Xia Yunjing nodded and stood at her position.

Luo Feng glanced at Xia Yunjing, his expression unchanged.

He hadn’t overheard Xia Yunjing and Gu Xifeng’s conversation, but judging from their expressions, it likely concerned him, though he was unsure what it was about.

Swish!

At that moment, deep within the Golden Palace, a burst of light rose, and several figures could be seen flying in the sky.

These people tread on flowing light, with surging air currents around them. They appeared slow, but their speed was unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, they reached the sky above Purple Yao Square.

Luo Feng squinted and saw Shui Linglong amidst the glow, but he didn’t recognize the others.

The four halted mid-air, and one of them slowly stepped forward.

As if influenced by an invisible aura, all sounds in Purple Yao Square gradually quieted until they faded away completely, and all eyes were fixed on this person.

The woman appeared to be in her twenties, with a graceful figure. Her delicate appearance bore a great resemblance to Shui Linglong, yet her eyes were dreamlike, akin to the vast stars above. A mere glance could ensnare one’s spirit, making them unwilling to escape. Beneath her azure dress, a nine-colored lotus formed by the multicolored glow lent an air of tranquility and nobility.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, this is our Linglong Hall Master, Shui Qingcheng."

Nanxuan gazed at the woman standing on the nine-colored lotus in the sky, his eyes showing admiration and longing.

Luo Feng nodded slightly. The resemblance between this person and Shui Linglong was about seventy to eighty percent, making it easy to guess. Yet the vast, ethereal, and enigmatic aura the other possessed was beyond Shui Linglong’s.

Shui Qingcheng took a slow step forward, appearing atop a jade pillar in Purple Yao Square. Her beautiful eyes swept around, her red lips parting gently.

"Recently, in the dynasty, Demon Beast activities have been rampant, disturbing ordinary citizens, including even advanced Demon Beasts. As Martial Artists, it’s our duty to eradicate the strong and support the weak. Thus, the Twelve Golden Palaces have jointly organized this hunting conference. As I’m sure you’re already aware."

Shui Qingcheng’s voice was like pearls falling onto jade, clear and vibrant, echoing across the entire Purple Yao Square.

Luo Feng smiled faintly, not expecting the Hall Master to refer to the Demon Sect issue as rampant Demon Beast activities. However, it’s true that recently, the major perilous areas of the Canglang Dynasty have experienced rampant Demon Beasts, leaving no flaws in the cover story. It seemed that the major Golden Palaces had put considerable effort into this hunting conference.

"This hunting conference serves two purposes: to resolve this crisis and to offer you an opportunity for training."

Shui Qingcheng’s voice rang out once more.

"Should your team’s achievements rank within the top one hundred in hunting contributions, you’ll be rewarded. Teams reaching the top ten will be awarded one hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, and each individual will receive one high-grade fifth-grade Spirit Pill. Teams in the top twenty will get fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones and a Yao Light Jade Token. Of course, other rankings will also receive corresponding rewards."

Wow!

As Shui Qingcheng’s words fell, a wave of discussion erupted suddenly in the entire Purple Yao Square.
