After another easy victory, Ling Feng leaped down from the platform.
The crowd quickly gathered around him.
"Junior Brother Ling Feng, you're truly amazing."
"How did you manage to reach Martial Master level in such a short time?"
"Awesome..."
Ling Feng looked at the people surrounding him, a faint smile on his face.
He didn't say much, just smiled silently as he passed through the crowd. From his past experiences, a person only competes once a day, so he didn't linger and returned to Misty Peak.
Not long after, Gu Linglong and Zhang Ruocheng arrived.
However, Gu Linglong's face didn't look good. Ling Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly guessed what had happened. "Senior Sister Gu... you lost?"
"Yes," Gu Linglong nodded, looking dejected.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Senior Sister, like me, you haven't been with Baiyun Sect for long. To have come this far is already quite an achievement."
After his words of comfort, Gu Linglong's mood lifted a bit.
"Junior Brother Ling, you don't have time to worry about others now. The elders just announced the top eight, and your next opponent," Zhang Ruocheng said seriously. "It's Feng Xiaoyao!"
"Feng Xiaoyao? The name alone sounds like he's a big deal," Ling Feng said, rubbing his chin with a grin.
"Yeah, he's the Grand Elder's top disciple! He's one of the favorites to win the sect competition, and his cultivation is at... Martial Master Ninth Stage!"
Martial Master Ninth Stage...
Quite a bit higher than Ling Feng.
Ling Feng was a little intrigued.
The next day.
The sect competition resumed.
Many disciples were discussing the upcoming battles.
"Today's the first fight of the top eight. I heard Feng Xiaoyao is up against Junior Brother Ling Feng. I think Junior Brother Ling Feng might be in trouble."
"Yeah, Feng Xiaoyao is the Grand Elder's top disciple, a Martial Master at the Ninth Stage. I doubt Junior Brother Ling Feng can handle him."
"Don't underestimate Junior Brother Ling Feng; he has a Martial Saint Body!"
"But Feng Xiaoyao is no slouch either. Rumor has it he also possesses a special martial body, and his combat power is above that of a typical Martial Master."
The crowd was abuzz with speculation.
At that moment, a young man in a blue robe with sharp eyebrows and a heroic spirit leaped onto the platform.
His hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a carefree aura.
It was Feng Xiaoyao.
Not far behind, Ling Feng slowly approached.
Seeing his young junior brother, Feng Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of admiration. "Junior Brother, to make it to the top eight is no small feat."
"Senior Brother flatters me."
"But unfortunately, my master has ordered me to do my best to defeat you. So today, this is where your journey ends." Feng Xiaoyao smiled.
"Please instruct me," Ling Feng said, leaping onto the platform.
The two bowed to each other.
Feng Xiaoyao then stepped forward, his speed as fast as lightning, and reached for Ling Feng with his clawed fingers, infused with domineering true energy.
Ling Feng countered with a punch.
He used the power of nine bulls and two tigers along with his true energy.
Their fist and claw collided, causing Feng Xiaoyao to retreat several steps.
Ling Feng only took one step back.
The crowd gasped.
"Look! Feng Xiaoyao stepped back four times, but Junior Brother Ling Feng only took one step. It looks like Ling Feng has the upper hand!"
"Junior Brother Ling Feng is amazing!"
"The Martial Saint Body truly is extraordinary!"
"It seems there's still hope for Junior Brother Ling Feng to win."
Several female disciples gazed at Ling Feng, their eyes filled with admiration.
Feng Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Good, a Martial Saint Body indeed. Since that's the case, I won't hold back either. Watch this..."
"Hurricane Martial Body!! Activate!!"
With a low shout, Feng Xiaoyao's true energy surged out like a violent storm!
He possessed a powerful martial body!
"Junior Brother, be careful. With the Hurricane Martial Body, my speed doubles, and my attack power increases by at least 50%!!"
As soon as Feng Xiaoyao finished speaking, his figure disappeared like the wind.
In the next second, he reappeared behind Ling Feng.
He now held an iron fan in his hand.
The iron fan, sharp as a blade, slashed towards Ling Feng's shoulder.
But Ling Feng's body was surrounded by golden true energy, and the fan struck with a metallic clang. However, the force was enough to make Ling Feng's body tremble slightly.
In the next moment.
Ling Feng's Seven-Star Longyuan sword unsheathed.
As soon as the sword appeared, its aura surged, and a dragon's roar echoed across the sky!
The sword energy burst forth like a tidal wave, sending Feng Xiaoyao flying back. He stared at Ling Feng, who was now enveloped by dragon energy, in shock.
"That sword... is it... the Seventh Sword on the Sword Rankings?! The Seven-Star Longyuan?!"
"How did that sword end up in your hands?!"
Not only Feng Xiaoyao, but even the elders and onlookers on the high platform stood up, their faces filled with astonishment.
"The Seven-Star Longyuan... it's really that sword!"
"Wait, how does he have that sword? Wasn't it in the Sword Manor?"
Meanwhile, Baiyun Sect's master sat calmly, as if this was no big deal.
"It's just the Seven-Star Longyuan sword, why are you all so shocked?"
"Sect Master, did you know about this all along?"
"Uh... how did you know?"
"Hmph, if not, how could you be so calm?"
Cough "Indeed, I found out a few days ago. Don't worry, the Seven-Star Longyuan is safe in Ling Feng's hands."
Hearing this, everyone finally relaxed a little.
But they couldn't help gazing at Ling Feng with envy in their eyes.
"The Seven-Star Longyuan, ranked seventh among famous swords. Countless people have coveted it, yet it ended up in the hands of a mere youth."
"Yes, and this sword hasn't had a master for nearly a hundred years. Now, Ling Feng can wield it—he must be its destined owner!"
On the platform.
With the Seven-Star Longyuan drawn, Ling Feng attacked again.
He unleashed a series of exquisite sword techniques.
The Two Elements Sword, the Three Talents Sword, the Four Symbols Sword...
The sword moves formed an overwhelming web of strikes, completely enveloping Feng Xiaoyao.
Even with his Hurricane Body and incredible speed, Feng Xiaoyao couldn't hold on for long within this dense sword web. His clothes were soon shredded by the sword energy.
He looked quite disheveled.
In the end, Feng Xiaoyao raised his hand in surrender.
"I concede. Junior Brother, your swordsmanship is superb. I am not your match."
"Senior Brother's movement techniques aren't bad either," Ling Feng responded politely.
Since the sect competition began, Feng Xiaoyao was the first person who had forced Ling Feng to rely on his sword techniques. He was much stronger than the others.
"Congratulations on reaching the top four, Junior Brother. I look forward to seeing you claim the championship!" Feng Xiaoyao smiled and gracefully leapt off the platform.
Up in the stands, the Grand Elder's face was extremely gloomy. "What is Feng Xiaoyao doing? He actually surrendered?!"
"Does he not care about my reputation at all?"
But there was nothing he could do.
Ling Feng successfully entered the top four.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to the top four in the sect competition. You are one step closer to becoming the champion. You have been rewarded with the Power of a Divine Elephant!
The Power of a Divine Elephant!
Curious, Ling Feng asked, "Which is stronger, the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers' Strength or the Power of a Divine Elephant?"
The Power of a Divine Elephant is ten times stronger than the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers' Strength!
Ling Feng's eyes lit up. In other words, he had just gained the equivalent of ten times the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers' Strength in one go.
With such strength, couldn't he crush any Martial Master in an instant?!
