Sure, here’s the translation:

"Ten people at once, are you kidding me?"

"And losing if even one punch is blocked, this Lin Hongyi really has a big mouth!"

Upon hearing Lin Hongyi’s words, the Dayang Mansion guards sitting around the martial arts arena were full of surprise.

One person rubbed his bruised arm and looked over at Lin Hongyi, snorting:

"I think she’s overconfident. Steward Tian and the others are among the top ten masters of Dayang Mansion, and ten people working together can easily defeat a Martial Artist at the peak of the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. What right does she have to challenge ten people? I think Steward Tian alone could defeat her."

"Yes, Steward Tian Kui’s cultivation has reached the mid-seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and the Green Thunder Shocking Mountain Power he’s cultivated is a top-grade profound level tempering body cultivation technique, already at Great Accomplishment. His strength is not inferior to Martial Artists in the later stages of the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Just blocking one punch indeed seems hopeful."

The nearby Dayang Mansion guards began discussing enthusiastically, each expressing their own views.

"Not very old, but quite a big mouth!"

Upon hearing Lin Hongyi’s words, the black-faced man looked somewhat displeased. As a Martial Artist, no one likes being underestimated. He stepped forward and said:

"I’ve long heard that the Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang of Yuangang Hall is formidable. Today, I’ll experience it for myself, to see if it is as powerful as the rumors say."

Lin Hongyi remained expressionless and said calmly, "You’re not my match."

"We’ll only know after trying! Let’s see how you defeat me with one punch."

The black-faced man had a stern countenance, clearly infuriated by Lin Hongyi’s words, and his battle intent was fierce. As he shook his body, green streams of energy surged around him, with strands of blue Thunderbolt darting across his skin, as if he were enveloped in light, exuding intense evil qi.

"Take my punch!"

Boom!

With a stomp, the solid ground of the arena split open into a pit, and the figure of the black-faced man disappeared, with a streak of green light rushing directly towards Lin Hongyi.

"Such speed!"

Luo Feng’s pupil shrank. He saw clearly that Steward Tian was not utilizing Qinggong. Relying solely on strength, his speed was already astonishing, only a few degrees weaker than Luo Feng’s full-powered Sky Cloud Step.

Of course, this explosive speed wouldn’t last long. If they were to compete in Qinggong, Luo Feng was confident he could shake off the opponent within ten breaths.

"Thousand Mountain Thunder Attack!"

In mid-air, the black-faced man roared, his eyes and hair bristling, his body glowing green intensely, all gathered onto his right fist, transformed into a thunderball several feet in diameter. Blue electric light flickered around it, crushing forcefully downward, with a momentum of success or death.

Crackling!

As the black-faced man delivered the punch, everyone in the arena felt an incredible surge of electricity, their skin tingling slightly, and some maids, who hadn’t cultivated, instinctively shrank their necks.

The guards by the arena of Dayang Mansion felt an intense gaze, being defeated by a woman with just one punch made them feel humiliated. If Steward Tian could regain his position, it would save them some face.

"Good punch, but still, you’re not my match."

Faced with such an imposing punch, Lin Hongyi’s expression was unchanged, as she stepped forward by half a step.

Buzz!

As her step landed, dazzling golden light burst forth from her, her aura hitting the peak, unmoving like a mountain, causing the entire martial arena to subtly tremble.

"Mountain Cave Condensation!"

Apparently not intending to strike, Lin Hongyi’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded; the dazzling golden light solidified, adhering to her body, forming a majestic golden armor, even her black hair turned to gold. Mysterious runes danced on the armor, its edges flickering with mountain-shaped illusions, a presence akin to a goddess descending from heaven.

Yang Wanyi watched Lin Hongyi enveloped in golden light with some gravity and said:

"I didn’t expect Lin Hongyi’s Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang to reach the ninth level, cultivating into the Heavy Yanguang Armor. It seems she’s gained much insight during this hunting competition."

Luo Feng fixed his gaze on Lin Hongyi in the arena, feeling moved:

"I feel Lin Hongyi’s aura has increased nearly tenfold compared to before. Her current strength could probably compete with a Martial Artist at the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

Yang Wanyi nodded slightly, "Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang isn’t simply a profound level top-grade cultivation technique. The Yuangang Hall’s most advanced body tempering cultivation technique is known as Golden Jade God Form Skill, of Earth-level lower quality. The Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang is merely a preliminary cultivation technique to the Golden Jade God Form Skill, wielding only one-fifth of its power, yet still formidable. Especially when cultivated into Heavy Yanguang Armor, her aura fuses with the earth, greatly boosting her defensive power and strength."

Seeing the golden armor formed, the black-faced man also revealed a trace of gravity in his gaze, yet was fearless. He brought down his thunderbolt-laden punch with immense force, crushing straight towards Lin Hongyi.

Boom!

At that moment, the entire Dayang Mansion seemed to tremble, the aftershock of their clash forming tangible shockwaves, spreading in all directions, causing a massive circular depression in the martial arts arena.

Thunk!

Amidst the dust, a figure was sent flying backward, heavily stomping onto the rocky ground, fracturing it into two large pits, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, none other than the black-faced man.

Opposite him, Lin Hongyi stood unchanged, her steps not moved even slightly, her expression relaxed and unyielding.

The winner and loser were plain for all to see.

"Refreshing!"

The black-faced man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at Lin Hongyi with full admiration, grinning, he said:

"I never expected such a young person like you could cultivate Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang to the ninth level and reach the Spirit and Flesh Unity stage in body tempering. Impressive! I concede wholeheartedly."

Witnessing this scene, the guards of Dayang Mansion around were utterly shaken, unable to express their inner shock with words.

They had considered the possibility of Steward Tian losing, but didn’t expect him to be defeated so decisively; Lin Hongyi didn’t even make a move, and Steward Tian was injured by his own attack.

"Thanks for allowing me to win."

Lin Hongyi cupped her hands and looked at the other nine people nearby, saying, "Is there anyone else who wants to compete?"

The remaining nine displayed a bitter smile; among them, a middle-aged Martial Artist at the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm sevenfold shook his head slowly and said:

"There’s no need. You have cultivated Heavy Yanguang Armor and already possess the strength to challenge Martial Artists at the eighth level of Spiritual Rotation Realm. Together, we ten cannot block a single punch from you. We’ve lost."

Lin Hongyi nodded slightly, and the golden light on her gradually receded.

"This person is really strong; she defeated Steward Tian easily and made the top ten experts in the mansion voluntarily admit defeat."

"Indeed, so this is what a New Dragon List expert is like. When I grow up, I also want to enter the Golden Palace and become an expert like her. Let’s see who dares to bully me then!"

"I want that too. Yesterday, just because I woke up late, Steward Tian punished me to practice the basic fist technique a hundred times. Once I master it and return, I’ll make him do the basic fist technique a hundred times—no, a thousand times..."

Beside the martial arts arena, a few eight or nine-year-old children stood watching. Seeing Lin Hongyi, who wasn’t much older than them, possessing such formidable strength, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Luo Feng watched this scene with a slight smile at the corner of his lips.

Back when he was a student in the outer courtyard of Purple Sun School, watching the duels of the inner courtyard experts, he had felt the same way. It seemed this was exactly Steward Li and others’ intention for challenging Lin Hongyi.

To feel ashamed and subsequently strive harder. Those who’ve witnessed this battle in person would surely train even harder in the future.

Hoo...

Lin Hongyi let out a gentle breath and was about to leave the martial arts plaza when she looked up and noticed Yang Wanyi and Luo Feng in the crowd.

"Oh!"

As her gaze fell on Luo Feng, Lin Hongyi’s pupils contracted, revealing a hint of surprise.

She immediately noticed Luo Feng’s transformation; his aura was more than ten times stronger than before, and he was now a Martial Artist at the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm sevenfold.

Thinking of the rumors she heard just now, the surprise on Lin Hongyi’s face quickly faded, replaced by excitement at the prospect of a good challenge. Her eyes sparked with intense battle intent as she said:

"Luo Feng, this is a rare opportunity. Let’s have a sparring match, shall we?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire martial arts arena fell silent, with all eyes turning toward Luo Feng, and the atmosphere quickly heated up.

"It’s Master Luo Feng! He’s broken through to the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm sevenfold!"

"This... the pace of advancement is terrifying! I remember two days ago, he was still at the mid-stage of the same level."

"Both are Martial Artists at the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm sevenfold; who knows who’s more excellent."

Feeling the gazes from the surroundings, Luo Feng smiled wryly; he hadn’t expected Lin Hongyi to challenge him suddenly.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng nodded and said, "Alright!"

Having just witnessed Lin Hongyi’s fierce battle, he too felt his blood stir. Moreover, he wanted to see the extent to which his current strength had reached.

Lin Hongyi was ranked 25th in the previous New Dragon List Tournament, undoubtedly a perfect opponent.

Swoosh!

The moment the words were out, Luo Feng’s figure flashed, appearing thirty steps in front of Lin Hongyi, unarmed but exuding an aura that was perfectly matched against Lin Hongyi’s, not yielding the slightest.

As soon as Luo Feng agreed to the bout, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena heated up again, with Steward Li and others stepping aside.

"Luo Feng, I’ve always wanted to have a match with you; now that you’ve also reached the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm sevenfold, I won’t hold back in this fight," Lin Hongyi said, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled faintly and nodded, "Okay, I will also give it my all."

Seeing Luo Feng seemingly not intending to draw his saber, Lin Hongyi furrowed her brows slightly:

"If you’re giving it your all, why not draw your saber, since you’re a Saber man?"

Luo Feng shook his head, "The saber technique I’ve cultivated isn’t quite suitable for sparring; let’s focus on our fist and foot techniques. Rest assured, I have confidence in my fist techniques; if you underestimate me due to my unarmed state, you might lose."

Ao...

While speaking, Luo Feng’s body trembled, and a faint dragon roar echoed within the martial arts arena. Five dragon-shaped airstreams appeared around him, circling and flying, gleaming with a golden jade-like luster under the morning sun, as if alive.

Simultaneously, a domineering heat diffused from Luo Feng, as a blinding fiery light bloomed in the void behind him. Twelve muscular Sky Fire King’s Arms emerged, brandishing fiercely; from afar, they resembled a Demon Avatar.

Divine Dragon Nine Changes Second Transformation ’Blood Essence Transformation’ Fifth Level!

Sky Fire King Fist Third Level!

"Twelve Sky Fire King’s Arms!"

Yang Wanyi’s face expressed astonishment.
