"The strength of my soul not only significantly enhances my physical fitness, but also makes my perception and reaction speed sharper than the average person!"
Luo Feng looked at Yang Ting, who was lying on the ground with a face full of blood, and his excitement was evident on his face.
He had actually defeated Yang Ting, a third-tier Meridian Wheel Realm!
When Yang Ting stepped out, Luo Feng was confident that with his four Meridians and nearly five hundred pounds of strength, he should be able to match Yang Ting. At worst, he would be repelled a few steps back.
But the final outcome exceeded his expectations.
Yang Ting suddenly used his martial arts, which surprised Luo Feng. However, by focusing his mind, Yang Ting's actions, which seemed swift as the wind to others, seemed somewhat slow to him. He seized an opening in Yang Ting's moves and won with one strike!
Huh!
After a brief silence, the students of the Silver Moon class were all in an uproar.
"Incredible! Did I see wrong, the one defeated is actually Yang Ting!"
"You didn't see wrong, it is indeed Luo Feng who has won, and he did so with a single strike! Wow, it seems he really has broken through to the third-tier of Meridian Wheel Realm."
"Strange, they both used basic martial arts. Moreover, Yang Ting made his breakthrough before Luo Feng, so in theory, his cultivation level should be higher. What exactly happened here..."
There was a lot of discussion around them, and the voice gradually grew louder.
Everyone originally thought that Luo Feng was less competent than Yang Ting, but the result made them take a double take.
Ji Wuyue, standing to the side, squinted her eyes and looked at Luo Feng with a peculiar gleam in her dark eyes.
"Just now, Yang Ting's Tooth Fist was both timely and swift. Luo Feng was able to preemptively strike and seize Yang Ting's flaw to win with one move!"
Ji Wuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat moved.
The ability to seize the changes in an instant, to turn defeat into victory, this level of perception and control of timing, had completely exceeded the norm for the third-tier of the Meridian Wheel Realm. If all this was part of Luo Feng's calculation, it could only be described as terrifying.
"Could all this be just a coincidence?"
Ji Wuyue was somewhat unsure.
In the Silver Moon class of nearly five hundred students, over four hundred had opened three Meridian Wheels. Luo Feng's strength had always been the weakest in the class. Even though he had now successfully opened the third Meridian Wheel, his strength couldn't have jumped so dramatically overnight.
"Teacher! He played tricks!"
A loud shout suddenly exploded in the crowd. Then Lin Hui rushed out angrily, helped Yang Ting, whose face was smeared with blood, got up, and pointed at Luo Feng. "Teacher, Luo Feng defied your wishes and used martial arts. He must be severely punished!"
After he finished speaking, Lin Hui turned his head and glared fiercely at the crowd behind him.
Students who meet Lin Hui's fierce gaze showed fear and nodded in agreement with him.
Lin Hui's fierce approach, combined with the fact that Lin XiaoXiao had recently attached herself to Duanmu Yu, an elite student from the inner court, made him more overbearing, and many students dreaded him.
Ji Wuyue's eyes narrowed slightly and she suddenly punched a training dummy next to her.
Dang!
The fist hit the dummy's head, and the copper face of the steel-cast dummy dented in an instant. The loud sound startled all the students, who looked at Ji Wuyue in astonishment.
"Who heard me say that martial arts cannot be used?"
Ji Wuyue scanned all the students with her sharp eyes. Those scanned by her gaze all turned pale, fearing Ji Wuyue's powerful fist that could even dent steel.
"Good!"
Ji Wuyue smiled satisfactorily, clapped her hands, casually pointed to two students, "You, you, carry Yang Ting down."
"Where to carry him?" The two students tremulously stepped forward and asked.
"Anywhere you like, just don't let me see him again!" Ji Wuyue's tone was chilling, and she seemed to be on the verge of losing her temper.
"Yes! Yes!" The two students shuddered and cursed Yang Ting in their hearts as unlucky as they quickly rushed over to Yang Ting, who was still somewhat dazed, and ignored his whimpers as they hurriedly carried him away.
"Hmph!" Watching Yang Ting leave, Ji Wuyue snorted coldly.
Turning her head and looking at Luo Feng, Ji Wuyue's gaze softened. "Luo Feng, congratulations on opening your third Meridian Wheel!"
Since Luo Feng was able to defeat Yang Ting, a third-tier Meridian Wheel Realm, with a single punch, it was obvious that he had broken through. Ji Wuyue was genuinely happy for Luo Feng.
She used to be a student of the Silver Moon class, and she was not endowed with exceptional talent, so she knew the feeling of being looked down upon.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuyue took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, placed it in Luo Feng's hand, and smiled gently:
"This Condensation Yuan Pill is a token of my appreciation. You should continue to practice hard, strive to enter the Inner Court, and make our Silver Moon Class proud!"
She had been suspicious of her students earlier, and Ji Wuyue felt guilty. So she wanted to compensate Luo Feng by gifting him the Condensation Yuan Pill.
Holding the porcelain bottle still warm from Ji Wuyue's body temperature, Luo Feng was overjoyed. He was currently lacking training resources, and this Condensation Yuan Pill was timely help.
"Thank you, teacher!" Luo Feng thanked her and returned to his seat.
The other students cast envious glances at the porcelain bottle in Luo Feng's hand.
A Condensation Yuan Pill was worth several hundred silver, which was not a small amount for these students.
"Lin Hui, do you have anything else?" Ji Wuyue saw that Lin Hui was still standing there and asked coldly.
Lin Hui shuddered, then came back to his senses and gritted his teeth. "No."
With a turn, he walked towards his spot. Lin Hui was trembling all over, his face gloomier than ever.
He had never been so humiliated before!
Lin Hui didn't dare to blame Ji Wuyue, so he had to vent all his resentment on Luo Feng.
Swoosh!
Through the crowd, Lin Hui glared at Luo Feng with bloodshot eyes, as if they would pop out of their sockets at any moment.
Luo Feng paid no attention to Lin Hui's gaze. What filled his mind now was how he would tackle reaching the Third Stage of the Meridian Wheel Realm after classes ended.
Even before having stepped into the Meridian Wheel Realm's third stage, he had already achieved a strength of five hundred pounds. Luo Feng wanted to see just how much his strength would increase when he finally made it.
As the class continued, Ji Wuyue's gaze swept over everyone. She said, "Now, most of you have opened your third Meridian Wheel. In a while, you will participate in the inner court examination; today, I will teach you the Tiger Roar Fist!"
Whoosh!
At Ji Wuyue's words, the room was filled with astonished whispers.
"It's the Tiger Roar Fist! I've heard it's a mid-tier martial art skill within the Yellow Rank!"
"Yes, the Tiger Roar Fist is indeed a Mid-Yellow Rank Martial Art, robust and fierce with tremendous power. Rumor has it that if it's cultivated to the peak realm, it can even be on par with the Upper-Yellow Rank Martial Art! However, it is not part of the martial arts taught in the academy. I have heard that Ji Wuyue came across it by accident on one of her training expeditions outside." Someone who understood the Tiger Roar Fist remarked casually.
"I see."
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding, their eyes gradually lit up.
There was a considerable difference in terms of cultivating resources between Golden Sun class and Silver Moon class.
Golden Sun class students could choose to learn a Yellow Mid-Rank martial art after opening up the third Meridian Wheel, while Silver Moon class students could only learn a Yellow Low-Rank martial art.
The grade level of the martial arts could affect both the rate at which the martial artist cultivated and their strength.
The higher the martial arts grade level, the faster the martial artist's cultivation speed, and their power during combat could be even stronger.
This difference in treatment made the gap in strength between students of the Golden Sun and Silver Moon classes increasingly prominent.
"It's a Yellow Mid-Rank martial art!" Luo Feng looked at Ji Wuyue, excitement shining in his eyes as he licked his lips.
The Tiger Roar Fist was said to be on par with Upper-Yellow Rank Martial Arts. If he could learn it, his strength could surely be substantially increased!
Luo Feng made up his mind on the spot that he would master the Tiger Roar Fist and cultivate it to the peak realm. Only in this way could he open his fourth Meridian Wheel in the shortest possible time and gain eligibility to enter the inner court.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng looked at Ji Wuyue without blinking.
"There are four forms of the Tiger Roar Fist, divided into four stages. I will only demonstrate it once; however much you can learn depends on your comprehension skills." The moment Ji Wuyue finished speaking, the room fell immediately silent.
"Watch!"
Ji Wuyue cried out, her voice as booming as thunder. Suddenly, she leapt into the air, her figure as swift as an arrow. In an instant, she had crossed ten steps and appeared next to a training dummy. She threw her fist.
"Angry Tiger Coming Out of the Cave!"
"Hungry Tiger Turning Back!"
"Fierce Tiger Scorching the Plains!"
"Fierce Tiger Descending into the Valley!"
Ji Wuyue demonstrated the succession of movements, as fast as lightning and as shocking as thunder. Her figure resembled a tiger, her fists swung like the wind, delivering fierce blows that caused the bronze-shaped dummy to make a clanging noise. By the time she finished her demonstration, the dummy had shattered into several pieces, scattered on the ground.
All were stunned by Ji Wuyue's momentum. Luo Feng was also filled with amazement. To be able to shatter a metal dummy with bare hands, what kind of strength would it take!
Having demonstrated the Tiger Roar Fist, Ji Wuyue announced the end of lessons. Without lingering, she floated away.
Hearing the class was over, everyone cheered and scattered off in groups, excitedly discussing where they would go to hang out next.
The students of Purple Sun School's outer court had a lot of free time. Apart from the martial arts class held every ten days, the rest of their time was freely arranged.
Luo Feng stood still, immobile like a wooden stake. In his mind, he was replaying the movements shown by Ji Wuyue when she demonstrated the Tiger Roar Fist, not letting go of any subtle changes.
He memorized the entire set of forms from beginning to end three times, and only after he was sure he had not missed anything did Luo Feng breathe a sigh of relief, preparing to leave the training field.
At that moment, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
Luo Feng looked up and frowned. "Lin Hui, what are you doing?"
The other students saw it was Lin Hui, although they sympathized with Luo Feng, they quickened their pace, fearing that they would get into trouble.
Lin Hui stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Luo Feng with a proud look and a cold sneer: "Luo Feng, I didn't expect that you, a piece of trash, could make a breakthrough. You injured Yang Ting, do you think you can just walk away like that?"
"Yang Ting volunteered to throw a punch at me. He wasn't as skilled as me, that's why he got hurt. What's that got to do with me? If you have any complaints, take it up with the instructor!" Luo Feng was not willing to say more. He turned to leave, but Lin Hui stopped him.
"Stay where you are!" Angered by Luo Feng ignoring him, Lin Hui lashed out, reaching for Luo Feng's shoulder.
Luo Feng had been on his guard, he swiftly dodged half a step to the side, shrugged off his shoulder, and avoided Lin Hui's reaching hand. But a sharp gust of wind cut through his shoulder, opening a small wound.
Lin Hui had not initially taken Luo Feng seriously. When his first grab missed, he was furious and embarrassed. He lashed out at Luo Feng's right arm again.
Hisss…
This time, Lin Hui didn't hold back. The claw of wind roared, and there was the sound of metal striking metal. If this claw landed on a body, it would surely tear skin and gash flesh!
At that moment, a gust of fragrance came, and suddenly, there was a beautiful figure in front of Luo Feng.
She had short, water-blue hair, sapphire-like pupils gleaming brightly. Her face was pretty, her long, slender legs made her look like a lithe figure, unlike any ordinary woman.
The girl appeared in front of Luo Feng and extended her right hand, flicking her soft fingertip down on Lin Hui's hand. Then, with a bang, Lin Hui let out a muffled grunt and flew backward several steps before stopping.
"Bing Ruolan!" Lin Hui looked at the figure standing in front of Luo Feng, his gaze filled with apprehension.
Bing Ruolan was the class leader of the Silver Moon Class, in the later stages of the Fourth Stage of the Meridian Wheel Realm, far surpassing him!
Luo Feng looked at the woman in front of him, and let out a sigh of relief.
Although he knew early on that Bing Ruolan would intervene, thinking back to Lin Hui's fierce attack just now, Luo Feng's heart went cold.
"Lin Hui, do you know where we are?"
Bing Ruolan's sapphire-like pupils coldly stared at Lin Hui and questioned. Her voice was soft, but forceful, like the sound of a gently rustling wind chime.
