Chapter 955: Chapter 952: Half of Luo Feng

Upon hearing the teahouse owner’s words, Luo Feng glanced to the side.

At one of the tables inside the teahouse, three people were seated, laughing and chatting loudly, interspersed with various obscene words.

With a quick glance, seeing the three were merely Martial Artists in the Meridian Wheel Realm, Luo Feng immediately lost interest, nodded, and said:

"Thank you for the warning, I will be careful."

"Alright, I’ll go make some tea."

Upon hearing this, the owner hurriedly walked away, evidently afraid of bringing trouble upon himself.

He advised Luo Feng because Luo Feng was kind to people and had tipped quite a bit of silver.

But he still needed to run his teahouse here, and if he offended these local troublemakers, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough.

Soon after, the tea was brought up.

The tea was clear, but it emitted strands of purple mist, extremely beautiful. Luo Feng took a sip, and the tea was fragrant and refreshing, it was a top-quality tea; no wonder this simple teahouse had such booming business.

Savoring the tea, Luo Feng’s thoughts were not on the tea.

Apart from the distant table of people, at the nearby table to Luo Feng sat four stout men, each carrying knives and swords, filled with vigor.

"The world is becoming increasingly unstable now, if not for this hunting gathering, I wouldn’t have known that our Canglang Dynasty has so many hidden Demon Sect disciples." A skinny man put down his teacup and said with a sigh.

"Hehe, Third Brother, this is a good thing for us. Recently, the rewards for many tasks have increased quite a bit. Otherwise, how could we be so carefree during this period? Last night, I saw you at Yihong Building, picking out two top courtesans. You worked so hard, aren’t you afraid of dying young?"

The fat Martial Artist squinted his eyes, looked at the skinny Martial Artist, and laughed.

Upon hearing this, the other two also laughed.

"Go to hell. You saw me, weren’t you there too. We’re both the same."

The skinny Martial Artist spat, and suddenly said: "By the way, I have already found out the reason for that loud noise last night."

"Oh, what was it?"

The other three at the table were all intrigued.

Last night, a loud thunderous noise echoed from dozens of miles away, shocking the entire East Flame City, many thought it was a Demon Sect attack, and were too scared to sleep all night.

The slightly braver Martial Artists went to investigate together, only to find a broken mountain ridge, with no other discoveries.

The skinny Martial Artist said, "It was ’Bloodless Sword’ Yi Wuxue chasing a Demon General to the vicinity. That loud noise was the Demon General’s dying counterattack. However, the Demon General was ultimately killed by Yi Wuxue."

Yi Wuxue!

Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly, surprised to hear the name here, he put down his teacup and listened intently.

"Yi Wuxue killed a Demon General-level expert, that’s impossible. Demon General-level experts are at least Spiritual Rotation Realm level eight in cultivation. How could Yi Wuxue, who only recently entered the Golden Palace, defeat a Demon General-level expert?"

"I also think it’s unlikely."

The skinny Martial Artist called Third Brother was annoyed. "This matter has been spreading wildly, how could it be false? I heard that early in the morning, Yi Wuxue personally brought the Demon General-level expert’s head to East Flame City. He should be at East Facing Tavern in East Flame City right now. You guys are ignorant and blame me!"

Upon hearing this, the other three exchanged glances.

They had worked hard all night last night and only woke up at noon, naturally unaware of the sensational event that occurred in the morning.

"To think that Yi Wuxue also killed a Demon General, has he already reached Spiritual Rotation Realm level eight?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, given Yi Wuxue’s potential, he shouldn’t have broken through to Spiritual Rotation Realm level eight this quickly.

"Ahem!"

The fat Martial Artist coughed, and said:

"If that’s the case, this Yi Wuxue is really formidable. Among the Twelve Golden Palaces, there aren’t many who can kill a Demon General-level expert. With this Demon General-level head, he can exchange for a lower grade Earth-level cultivation technique and a sixth grade Spirit Pill. At the next new dragon rankings, he might shine brightly."

"Hmm."

Another person nodded, and said:

"I heard recently, Jade Hall’s ’Fragrance Without Shadow’ Ye Siyi, and Sky Sword Pavilion’s ’Heavenly Fragrant Woman’ He Qin, teamed up in the Red Chain Mountain Range, to kill a Demon General-level expert, and one Asura in the Spiritual Rotation Realm level eight cultivation. Now with Yi Wuxue, there are three people eligible to enter the top ten in the hunting gathering."

"This year is truly talented, these three are all new disciples of the Golden Palace."

Upon hearing the four people talking, Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, showing a smile on his face.

Ye Siyi and He Qin teamed up, pity he couldn’t witness it in person.

Ye Siyi’s movement technique is extraordinary, he wasn’t confident he could surpass her Qinggong skills.

And He Qin’s ice and snow Sword Intent could freeze the Yuan Qi of Martial Artists, with terrifying power.

Their teamwork could potentially unleash not just ten, but fifteen tenths of their strength, or even more, no wonder they could kill two Demon General-level experts.

However, this news also made Luo Feng realize one thing; progress wasn’t just limited to himself.

The skinny Martial Artist suddenly said: "Gaining Earth-level cultivation techniques is remarkable, these three might be eligible to fight for a spot in the top ten of the new dragon rankings in six months. Apart from these three, who else among this year’s new Golden Palace disciples are eligible to fight for the top ten new dragons?"

"Fighting for the top ten new dragons? That’s not simple. Each top ten new dragon, in cultivation, martial arts, experience, any of them are top-notch. And they will be heavily nurtured by the Golden Palace, so it’s not easy to catch up."

The fat Martial Artist shook his head, and said: "If I have to say, then Floating Snow Hall’s Black-faced Killer Xie Xuantong counts as one, I heard his Grand Momentum has reached Small Success, his future is limitless. As for others..."

He patted his fatty chin, the fat Martial Artist said: "Linglong Hall’s Luo Feng counts as half I suppose."

"Second Brother, what’s this half all about? Luo Feng defeated an expert in the top fifty of the new dragon rankings. I see him as having more chances than Xie Xuantong." One asked, eyes showing curiosity.

Luo Feng also focused his attention, although he wasn’t concerned about their discussions, he was intrigued by why he counted as half.

The fat Martial Artist took a sip of tea, reveling in the suspense before he chuckled:

"In terms of strength, potential, Luo Feng indeed surpasses Xie Xuantong. But, don’t forget, he offended the Blood Cloud Fire Dragon Lu Xiao Yun, the two agreed to settle it at the new dragon rankings conference. Given Lu Xiao Yun’s personality, will he easily let Luo Feng succeed? He might be eliminated at the very beginning of the new dragon conference." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Lu Xiao Yun... I did forget about this matter. You have a point."

"Why provoke Lu Xiao Yun of all people, who is notoriously arrogant? Both come from Purple Sun School, Luo Feng’s challenge is undoubtedly slapping Lu Xiao Yun’s face, how could Lu Xiao Yun let him get away with it."

"True indeed. In life, when it’s time to yield, one should yield, rather than risk losing one’s life. If it were me, I’d go admit my mistake to Lu Xiao Yun. Considering the same-school ties, Lu Xiao Yun might not pursue it further."

"Why worry about others’ business unnecessarily. Let’s go work; while the market is good, take on more tasks, and when the new dragon rankings conference starts, we’ll also go witness."

"Alright."

They left their silver on the table and walked out of the teahouse; seeing Luo Feng, they paid him no attention.

At that moment, Luo Feng was dressed in ordinary clothes without a sword, and had restrained his aura, appearing like any wealthy young man, not drawing any attention.

"Lu Xiao Yun..."

Watching the four leave, Luo Feng fiddled with his teacup and smiled faintly.

The reason he counted as half was due to Lu Xiao Yun.

As for admitting fault to Lu Xiao Yun, he never considered it.

No wrong, so why admit fault?

Ready to hit the road, Luo Feng left the tea money on the table, stood up, and left the teahouse.

"Customer, have a safe journey! Cust..."

The teahouse owner’s shout came, but abruptly stopped.

As soon as Luo Feng left the teahouse, the Martial Artists at the back table paid and left, following behind him; the last person even glared at the teahouse owner.

Watching the four slowly fade into the distance, the teahouse owner hesitated for a moment, then abruptly hung up a closed sign, and hurriedly headed toward the City Lord Mansion.

His son was about Luo Feng’s age, so he didn’t want to see Luo Feng fall into disaster.
