"Mountain Crusher!"

To compete with Luo Feng, Lin Hongyi immediately unleashed her special skill. The Heavy Yanguang Armor on her body burst into a dazzling, sun-like brilliance, blinding and radiant. Her single leg became a blade, striking down from the sky.

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop...

Though it was just one kick, it felt endless, as the air was penetrated layer by layer. Lin Hongyi’s ferocious kick slammed into the ground.

Boom boom boom...

In an instant, space quaked violently, the earth cracked open, and countless massive rock spikes, gleaming with golden luster, charged toward Luo Feng with an overwhelming force, as if a dangerous peak had risen from the flat ground, aiming to knock Luo Feng away.

"It’s the Five Peaks Style from the Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang of the Yuangang Hall. These five styles, combined with the Heavy Yanguang Armor, can unleash several times their power. There’s a mountain intent realm in Lin Hongyi’s moves, heavy as a mountain and sharp as a perilous peak, reaching an extremely high realm. This woman is indeed a fearless genius among tempering body martial artists."

Yang Dingtian watched Lin Hongyi and nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

Body-tempering techniques have always been difficult to cultivate, requiring not only high insight from the martial artist but also a resilient mindset, both of which are indispensable.

Otherwise, regardless of how high one’s insight is, without tenacious will, achieving great success is difficult. However, for those who possess both, cultivating tempering body techniques results in great efficiency, and their combat prowess usually far surpasses that of martial artists at the same level.

In Yang Dingtian’s view, Lin Hongyi is such a body-tempering genius.

Hearing this, Yang Waner nodded silently, watching the two in the martial arena without speaking.

Luo Feng had already experienced the might of Lin Hongyi’s Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang, and he dared not be careless. Facing the giant, roaring rock spikes, he too let out a thunderous shout.

"Step of Sky-Burning Monarch!"

Red flames soared into the sky, tinged with a hint of blood. Luo Feng raised his right foot, stepping down on the imposing rock spikes with a casual motion that exuded an overwhelming aura, as if he were a monarch overlooking the Eight Wastelands, with nothing able to stop his steps.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, blood-red light erupted, and the rock spikes over ten meters in diameter cracked inch by inch, finally shattering and burning, shooting in all directions like meteorites, creating alarming craters on the ground.

In this period, Luo Feng’s Sky Cloud Step hadn’t stagnated. A day before, he had advanced to the fifth level, just a step away from the sixth. The power of the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch had increased significantly.

"Mountain Opening Style!"

Lin Hongyi ignored the whistling fragments, her body blazing with golden light, charging straight at Luo Feng. In mid-air, she clasped her hands together and abruptly split them open on both sides.

Screech!

The sound of tearing cloth rang out, and the air seemed like paper, splitting apart on both sides. An enormous golden streak appeared out of thin air.

The golden streak resembled an unparalleled battle knife, its golden brilliance dazzling. A fierce, sharp aura soared into the sky. The guards of Dayang Mansion with insufficient power felt chilled to the bone upon seeing this battle knife, yet couldn’t tear their eyes away, their entire being consumed by it, unable to extricate themselves.

"Ruthless Way!"

Facing the roaring battle knife, a flash appeared in Luo Feng’s eyes. Behind him, twelve Sky Fire King’s Arms simultaneously blasted out.

Boom!

A massive red fist gang appeared, overwhelmingly fierce, carving a crimson path in the sky, slamming into the battle knife with earth-shattering impact.

Crack!

The golden battle knife fractured with countless cracks spreading, veering off course, slashing down onto the ground.

Screech!

The battle knife extended a thousand meters before disappearing, the enormous slash mark seeming to cut the martial arena in two.

Gazing at the slash mark on the ground, a hint of astonishment flickered in Luo Feng’s eyes. Lin Hongyi’s strength at this moment was more than ten times stronger than a few days before.

The astonishment in his eyes disappeared quickly. Luo Feng decided to take the initiative, his figure flashing to appear before Lin Hongyi, his entire body blazing with flames soaring into the sky with a single step, it was the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch.

Rumble...

The Sky Cloud Step breaking through to the fifth level, the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch finally began to show the true nature of a ground-level martial art. The red flames covered half of the martial arena, with an explosive force that threatened to shatter one’s spirit, pressing relentlessly towards Lin Hongyi.

Seeing this scene, a grave expression appeared for the first time between Lin Hongyi’s brows. The Heavy Yanguang Armor on her body became more substantial, her gaze sharp as a blade, her hands fiercely pulling together in the middle.

"Merging Mountain Style!"

Boom!

At the moment her palms came together, the entire Dayang City seemed to tremble, the hard rocky ground of the martial arena suddenly centered on the slash mark, with two massive rocks over a thousand meters large rising from left and right, crashing towards Luo Feng, blotting out the sky and sun, as if to crush him into pulp.

"What level of power is this, it’s terrifying. Either of them alone could likely destroy a medium-sized city."

"This is the true strength of the Red-dusted Vajra; the earlier skirmish with us was just child’s play."

"Indeed. No wonder Steward Tian and the others would voluntarily concede; it seems that martial artists of the same level dreaming of contending with them is nothing short of a fool’s dream."

"These are Golden Palace geniuses, not to be judged by common sense."

"Barring accidents, these two will both enter the sacred grounds for cultivation in the future..."

Outside the martial arts arena, the guards of Dayang Mansion were all aghast, unable to comprehend how Martial Artists of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm could display such a terrifying power, not losing out to some early Eighth Level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists.

This indicates that both possess strength comparable to early Eighth Level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists, perhaps even capable of killing one another! This isn’t a simple challenge of superiority, as both are currently at the late Seventh Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Not only them, but the stewards of Dayang Mansion also had grave expressions, eyes full of shock, even Yang Dingtian’s own eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

Luo Feng was witnessing Lin Hongyi’s use of the Merging Mountain Style from the Five Peaks Style for the first time, knowing that continued attacks would only lead to mutual destruction. He immediately switched from offense to defense, his steps shaking in mid-air.

Boom!

Flame burst into the air, transforming into a sea of fire. With a single step, the air below Luo Feng solidified, then shattered like crystal, as did the huge rocks smashing from both sides.

Boom boom boom boom...

Huge rocks flew in all directions, clashing against the Yuan Qi shield and creating massive ripples like waves of water.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, a golden light shot into the sky.

"Mountain Crusher!"

Lin Hongyi was enveloped by a huge golden mountain shadow, charging through the stone shower, her fist aimed at Luo Feng. The shattered rocks were torn apart by a fierce airstream before they could approach.

"Indeed troublesome!"

Faced with an opponent of the same level for the first time, Luo Feng encountered someone evenly matched. Without the consecutive breakthroughs of Divine Dragon Nine Changes, this battle might have been even more hazardous.

Luo Feng was not surprised by this, as Lin Hongyi ranked twenty-fifth in the last New Dragon List tournament, and it was rumored she hadn’t exerted her full potential. It’s fair to say she’s one of the top geniuses among the Six Southern Domains’ Golden Palaces, with a martial arts realm and combat experience that are far from ordinary.

While his cultivation advanced rapidly, it lacked some settling, which made him more than enough to face ordinary late Seventh Level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists, but slightly inadequate when facing New Dragon List experts who are also martial arts prodigies. The only advantage is the Grand Momentum.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. With a shift in his spirit, a sharp essence burst from his eyes, compelling many to involuntarily close their eyes, as if merely by meeting his gaze, their minds would be penetrated.

At this moment, the experts of Dayang City all had changed expressions.

"Grand Momentum!"

Even the usually steadfast Steward Tian was taken aback, gasping involuntarily.

At this moment, in his eyes, Luo Feng’s figure magnified indefinitely, like a giant, with a momentum as towering as a mountain. Compared to him, he seemed like a child in front of the mountain, and the overwhelming momentum made him subconsciously give birth to thoughts of irresistible confrontations.

This was undoubtedly the Grand Momentum, and not an ordinary one at that. The contained intent was like an emperor waging war on all fronts, conquering everything, overcoming all. It probably far exceeded the small success realm of the Grand Momentum.

"Waner, after this hunting tournament, you must train diligently and aim to elevate your cultivation to the late Seventh Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Three months later, I will arrange a training session for you."

Yang Dingtian looked at Luo Feng, eyes filled with contemplation, and suddenly turned to Yang Waner, speaking with deep intent.

After decades of ups and downs, he had long understood a truth: people on different levels rarely come together, a gap that is less noticeable at the Meridian Wheel Realm and Spiritual Rotation Realm but becomes undeniable at the True Yuan Realm and even the Yuan Sea Realm.

With Luo Feng’s demonstrated potential today, his future achievements are limitless. Fortunately, Yang Waner’s talent is also exceptional, only lacking opportunity.

Yang Waner, wise as ice and snow, couldn’t fail to grasp the implication in Yang Dingtian’s words, and she lightly nodded with pursed rosy lips.

While they spoke, in the martial arena, turmoil was brewing.

"Dominating for Thousands of Years!"

With the fusion of Grand Momentum, twelve arms of Sky Fire King expanded magnificently, Luo Feng took a step in the void, launching a punch towards Lin Hongyi.

In an instant, the entire martial arts arena fell silent, as most people’s spirits were captivated by this punch. In their eyes, the red round fist gang was no longer ordinary but a celestial body descending to devastate the mortal world.

Boom!

The two fierce Qi Forces collided instantly, shaking Dayang City. The shockwave from their exchange leveled the transformed martial arena, expanding the red Yuan Qi shield like a balloon.

Shush! Shush!

Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi flew backwards, stopping to each vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Both of you, cease at this point."

Yang Dingtian knew they couldn’t continue fighting, and with a wave of his hand, the red Yuan Qi shield vanished, his figure appearing in the arena.

Luo Feng had no intention of continuing the fight, exhaling slowly and looking at Lin Hongyi with a smile:

"It seems settling the outcome today is impossible."

With the golden light receding from Lin Hongyi’s body, she said, "As a Saber man, you can use fist methods to compete equally with me. Today’s battle means I’ve lost."

"A loss is a loss, a win is a win. I don’t intend to take advantage of you."

Luo Feng shook his head, addressing Lin Hongyi, "Besides, you probably didn’t go all out either. This battle should be reserved for the next New Dragon List tournament to decide victory."

Lin Hongyi didn’t argue, her expression flickered briefly, nodding:

"Alright. Next time, I’ll certainly win."
