Chapter 353: Chapter 352: Liu Yuan of the No-phase Palm

The crowd looked at Luo Feng with a mixture of surprise, envy, admiration, and, above all, jealousy.

Luo Feng’s strength had taken everyone by surprise.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate him.

A master of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm might not be extraordinary.

But a master of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm who was not yet sixteen? No one dared to belittle such a person!

Furthermore, Luo Feng had effortlessly defeated formidable opponents like Xu Liang of the Flaming Blade.

In the center of the square, Yang Dingtian observed Luo Feng, his face beaming with a smile.

He had already sensed that Luo Feng was no ordinary individual, but he hadn’t anticipated such brilliance!

Judging from the fluctuations in Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi moments ago, he was very likely at the mid-stage of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm.

To possess such strength before the age of sixteen was remarkable. Yang Dingtian had encountered only a handful of such individuals in his entire life.

Each of them had been exceptionally talented, true prodigies, and had eventually risen to become hegemons in their own right.

Smiling with satisfaction, Yang Dingtian turned to Yang Wanyi. “I never expected my son-in-law to be such a top-tier genius! Wanyi, it’s no wonder you’ve set your heart on him.”

Yang Wanyi’s full lips twitched as she managed a faint smile. As she gazed at Luo Feng, a look of profound shock flickered deep within her beautiful eyes.

It was no exaggeration to say that today had been the most emotionally turbulent day of Yang Wanyi’s life.

Initially, she had believed Luo Feng’s cultivation was merely at the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm. Yet, with each duel, Luo Feng had elevated his strength to new heights!

In only four months, he advanced from the Sixth Level of the God Bravery Realm to the mid-stage of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm. How on earth does he cultivate?

Yang Wanyi’s gaze was somewhat lost as she looked at the imposing figure standing on the martial stage.

After Luo Feng defeated Xu Liang of the Flaming Blade, a hush fell, and for a while, no one else dared to ascend the stage.

Thus far, Luo Feng had achieved five victories in five battles, even effortlessly defeating Xu Liang of the Flaming Blade, who held some renown in the rtiad. His display of strength had made the promising young heroes present deeply wary.

Suddenly, a wave of cheers erupted from the square.

A handsome young man dressed in blue, carrying no weapons but possessing unusually large hands, rose from his seat and walked wordlessly towards the martial stage.

It’s him…

Upon seeing the young man, Yang Wanyi’s daimei knitted slightly, a trace of disgust appearing on her face.

The young man in blue was Liu Yuan, a disciple of the Gold Stone Hall of the Twelve Golden Palaces, known for his No-phase Palm.

A year ago, when Yang Wanyi was still a student at the Four Great Academies and attended the Golden Palace examination, this Liu Yuan had appeared out of nowhere and harassed her relentlessly.

To rid herself of Liu Yuan, Yang Wanyi had even abandoned her aspiration to join the Gold Stone Hall, opting instead for the Linglong Hall.

However, Liu Yuan had not given up. He continued to pester her, even showing up at her home in Dayang City to propose marriage during one of her return visits. Thoroughly infuriated, Yang Wanyi had severely injured him, which finally made him cease his harassment.

Yang Wanyi hadn’t anticipated Liu Yuan would be shameless enough to appear again!

Biting her lip, Yang Wanyi’s eyes brightened slightly as she looked at Luo Feng. She condensed her Yuan Qi into a thin line and transmitted her voice to Luo Feng via Sound Road, “Luo Feng, make sure you teach this man a thorough lesson later! Make him suffer!”

Luo Feng was taken aback. “Why? Do you have a grudge against him?”

“He…”

Yang Wanyi uttered a single word before realizing it was inappropriate to discuss this with Luo Feng. She quickly stopped and said, “Why ask so many questions? Just help me teach him a lesson, and I’ll reward you handsomely.”

“No need for a reward. Just call me ’husband’ for me to hear.”

Luo Feng touched his nose and, looking at Yang Wanyi, chuckled, speaking via Sound Road.

CRASH!

Yang Wanyi’s daimei lifted, and she slammed her palm onto the adjacent stone table, shattering it. The nearby crowd recoiled in shock.

“Do you still want me to call you ’husband’?”

Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng, an enchanting smile playing on her lips.

Gazing at the fragments of the stone table scattered on the ground, Luo Feng licked his lips. Only then did he recall that the woman before him was not only beautiful but also a powerful Spiritual Rotation Realm expert!

Just as he was contemplating his response, an icy voice suddenly sounded beside him.

“So, you are Waner’s betrothed?”

Liu Yuan stood ten paces from Luo Feng, his eyes cold, his posture erect, and a palpable, chilling aura emanating from him.

Sensing Liu Yuan’s intense hostility, Luo Feng turned to face him. After a brief assessment, he replied nonchalantly, “You already know, so why bother asking the obvious?”

Liu Yuan’s pupils constricted, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He looked down at Luo Feng and sneered, “Because you are utterly unworthy of Waner!”

“My, they haven’t even started fighting, and the atmosphere is already this tense.”

“What’s so surprising? Last year, Liu Yuan brought gifts to the City Lord Mansion to propose to Yang Wanyi. I heard Yang Wanyi herself broke three of his ribs, and he left in a sorry state. Now that Luo Feng is Yang Wanyi’s fiancé, with old grudges and new hatred, how could he possibly let this go?”

“So that’s what happened. One is the current fiancé, the other had his proposal rejected. Now they’re facing each other on the stage. This is interesting.”

“Liu Yuan is notoriously narrow-minded. He definitely won’t let this rest.”

“Although both are at the mid-stage of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm, Liu Yuan has cultivated in the Gold Stone Hall for a year. The martial arts he has learned must be extraordinary. Luo Feng might be in trouble this time.”

“I’m actually more optimistic about Luo Feng. So far, he hasn’t even used any martial arts techniques, and rumor has it he has comprehended Grand Momentum. His true strength might be far greater.”

Sensing the unusual atmosphere on the martial stage, the crowd buzzed with discussion. Unconsciously, some had already begun to side with Luo Feng, a clear indication that his strength had earned their recognition.

On the dueling platform, Luo Feng glanced at Liu Yuan with a derisive smile and laughed aloud. “I’m not worthy? Then are you?”

Recalling last year’s proposal, Liu Yuan’s eye twitched. With his hands clasped behind his back, he declared arrogantly, “Of course! Once Waner gets to know me, she’ll understand that you’re not even fit to be compared to one of my fingers!”

Luo Feng sneered inwardly, beginning to understand why Yang Wanyi wanted this man taught a lesson.

His gaze fell upon Liu Yuan, his expression turning colder. He stated firmly, “Remember this: Yang Wanyi is my, Luo Feng’s, woman. ’Waner’ is not a name you are permitted to use.”

Far away, Yang Wanyi’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing Luo Feng’s words.

That guy… he actually dares to say such things…

Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng, gently pursing her lips, her cheeks faintly flushed. Her emotions were unreadable.

On the dueling platform, Liu Yuan’s face stiffened.

As a disciple of the Gold Stone Hall of the Twelve Golden Palaces, he had never considered Luo Feng his equal. He hadn’t expected Luo Feng to be even more arrogant than himself, showing him no deference whatsoever!

“Kid, it seems a few victories have made you lose sight of your own insignificance! How dare you act so presumptuously before me!”

Liu Yuan exuded a chilling aura, glaring at Luo Feng with haughty disdain. He snorted, “Listen well. Not only will I call her Waner today, but I will continue to do so in the future. What can you possibly do about it?”

“Is that so?”

A cold glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. In an instant, his figure vanished from its spot.

WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng appeared before Liu Yuan, unleashing a powerful punch.

Liu Yuan hadn’t anticipated Luo Feng’s incredible speed. Caught off guard, he even forgot to dodge, only able to watch wide-eyed as a menacingly swift fist grew larger and larger in his vision.

BANG!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Luo Feng’s fist landed squarely on Liu Yuan’s chin. With a crisp CRACK, Liu Yuan screamed, spitting out two bloody teeth as his body was sent flying backward.

“Such incredible speed!”

In the square, a square-faced young man squinted, his eyes fixed on Luo Feng, a sharp light glinting within them.

If anyone present knew him, they would surely recognize this square-faced youth as Xu Zhi, renowned for his Qinggong and nicknamed ’One Leaf Crosses The River’!

POP!

Luo Feng crushed the teeth Liu Yuan had spat out under his foot. He looked at Liu Yuan and said indifferently, “You can say it. But you’ll bear the consequences.”

The crowd in the square was secretly astounded. They hadn’t expected Luo Feng to remain so domineering even when facing Liu Yuan.

Elsewhere, Ye Tang observed Luo Feng on the dueling platform, a sinister smile spreading across his face. He sneered with contempt. He’s courting death!

Ye Tang knew Liu Yuan and was well aware of his temperament.

Liu Yuan was ruthless and unscrupulous, even more so than Ye Tang himself.

For Luo Feng to humiliate Liu Yuan so publicly, he would undoubtedly face insane retaliation!

Although Liu Yuan was only at the mid-stage of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm, the All-Aspects Dark Luo Palm he cultivated was a Profound Level, mid-grade martial art. It was exceedingly mysterious, and his strength was close to that of a late-stage Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm martial artist. Ye Tang believed that, barring any surprises, Luo Feng was definitely not Liu Yuan’s match!

While it was somewhat regrettable that he couldn’t teach Luo Feng a lesson personally, the prospect of witnessing Luo Feng’s miserable defeat was quite appealing.

As for dealing with Luo Feng himself, as long as he remained within Dayang City, opportunities would abound.

Ye Tang tapped his fingers on the table, a savage grin directed at Luo Feng. It seems I won’t need to lift a finger. Liu Yuan will ensure your crushing defeat!

BOOM!

On the dueling platform, Liu Yuan stomped his foot forcefully, the ground instantly cracking as he halted his backward momentum.

His mouth was now smeared with blood, all traces of his earlier composed and elegant demeanor gone, replaced by a fierce and disheveled appearance.

Lifting his head, Liu Yuan stared daggers at Luo Feng, his eyes bloodshot as if about to drip blood. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Luo Feng, I will ensure you die without a burial place!”

The next moment, Liu Yuan let out a great roar. Azure energy currents swirled around him, making it seem as if he stood in the eye of a storm.

“All-Aspects Palm!”

His gaze locked onto Luo Feng, Liu Yuan struck out with his palm.

HUM!

The Yuan Qi across the entire platform surged violently like a tidal wave, coalescing into an invisible torrent that rushed towards Luo Feng.

This All-Aspects Palm was the first stance of the All-Aspects Dark Luo Palm. It could manifest myriad illusions of the world—what appeared as a mountain was not truly a mountain, what seemed like water was not truly water. Its power was elusive, concealing a deadly intent that was incredibly difficult to defend against.

Liu Yuan had once used this very move to severely injure a martial artist whose cultivation was approaching the late-stage Nine Heavens Heavenly Court Realm!

WHISH!

The ambient Yuan Qi billowed furiously. Though invisible to the naked eye, the hidden palm force advanced on Luo Feng like an ancient, ferocious beast. Wherever it passed, the ground sank inch by inch, and the entire platform emitted groaning, creaking sounds, as if on the verge of collapse.

Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. His sharp gaze fixed ahead, his body tensed, and he unleashed a punch.

“Sky Collapse Earth Splitting!”

The moment Liu Yuan attacked, Luo Feng sensed that this man’s strength was on an entirely different level from anyone he had faced before. He immediately executed the most ferocious and domineering move of his Sky Collapse Fist.

CRACKLE! SNAP!

As his fist shot out, thick fissures appeared in the air before Luo Feng, like writhing serpents of lightning, clashing violently with Liu Yuan’s invisible palm force…
