Chapter 966: Chapter 963: Blood Soul Transformation Seventh Layer, Men Are Not to Be Trusted

Linglong Hall, West Islet Peak.

West Islet Peak is adjacent to Yao Light Lake. The humid water vapor makes the entire mountain lush with trees. The various Spiritual Medicines planted on the mountain grow vigorously, with countless flowers competing to bloom, splendid beyond compare.

At the top of the peak, a tall figure was heading out of the grand hall’s corridor. Her footsteps landed as light as the wind, without a trace of sound.

The figure looked seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a perfectly fitting light cyan uniform, with a graceful body, a blue treasured sword hanging at her waist, exuding a heroic spirit, she was precisely Xia Yunjing.

Carefully passing through the corridor, Xia Yunjing was about to descend the mountain.

Suddenly...

"Senior Sister!"

From another hall beside the corridor, a pretty female disciple came out, seeing Xia Yunjing and smiling:

"Senior Sister, are you going down the mountain? Just in time, I’m also going down, let’s go together."

Hearing this, Xia Yunjing’s face slightly stiffened, and she glanced at the hall.

As expected—

"Yunjing."

A cool voice sounded.

Xia Yunjing chuckled bitterly in her heart, then said to her junior sister beside her, "Junior Sister Yun, you go ahead."

After speaking, Xia Yunjing turned and entered the hall.

The hall was very spacious, dozens of fathoms high, with eight huge jade stone pillars on each side, engraved with hundreds of beasts and birds, grand and magnificent.

At the upper part of the hall stood a woman with an imposing aura.

The woman appeared to be in her forties, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, draped in a snow-white gown that trailed on the ground, her eyes icy, glancing around as if an invisible aura enveloped her surroundings, giving off a sense of psychological pressure, revealing her extraordinary Cultivation.

Xia Yunjing stood in the center of the hall and respectfully saluted the woman, saying, "Greetings, Master."

The person was none other than Gu Xifeng, the Law Enforcement Elder of Linglong Hall, and one of the elders opposed to Luo Feng joining Linglong Hall.

"Yunjing, you were in seclusion practicing; where are you planning to go?" Gu Xifeng looked at Xia Yunjing and asked.

Xia Yunjing’s eyes flickered slightly, saying, "I... encountered a bottleneck in my practice these days, planning to go down the mountain to listen to the elder’s lecture, and see if I can make a breakthrough."

Gu Xifeng raised her eyes slightly, shook her head lightly, and said indifferently:

"Yunjing, you have never lied, so how can you hide it from me? You heard Luo Feng is back and intend to see him?"

Xia Yunjing pressed her lips lightly, knowing she couldn’t hide it, and had to say:

"Luo Feng is the captain of our team; he returned to the Golden Palace, and I..."

"What captain!"

Gu Xifeng suddenly waved her hand, interrupting Xia Yunjing’s words, coldly said, "If it weren’t for Shui Linglong’s intervention, this captain position should have been yours, and he was the one who made you lose this opportunity!"

"Master..."

Xia Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then said, "This hunting conference, in Misty Swamp, if not for Junior Brother Luo Feng..."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort rang out in the hall, like muffled thunder exploding, the invisible pressure forming a cold wind, making Xia Yunjing involuntarily shiver and hastily fall silent.

Gu Xifeng looked at Xia Yunjing, sighed, softened her tone, and said:

"Yunjing, men in this world can’t be trusted, and I do this for your own good. You must never have any involvement with Luo Feng again."

Xia Yunjing remained silent.

"Moreover, you must have heard that during this hunting tournament, Luo Feng achieved remarkable results and might very well rank in the top ten of the individual rankings in the Six Southern Domains. However, this is just luck; you do not need to care."

Xia Yunjing nodded slightly, although in her heart, she didn’t believe it was all just luck.

Gu Xifeng frowned, pondering for a moment, suddenly said to Xia Yunjing:

"I will tell the Hall Master today to begin teaching you the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue. You will surely surpass Luo Feng in the new Dragon List Tournament! Let him know then who is stronger!"

Xia Yunjing knew Gu Xifeng truly cared for her, but... 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Feeling helpless internally, Xia Yunjing had no choice but to nod and say, "Thank you, Master."

...

After leaving North Yao Peak, Luo Feng directly returned to Panlong Residence.

Witnessing Yan Feihua’s strength personally, he dared not slack in the slightest.

Now, there was still a huge gap between him and Yan Feihua, and in the last Dragon List Tournament, Lu Xiao Yun’s ranking was still above Yan Feihua.

And now, there are only five months left until the new Dragon List Tournament, wanting to surpass Lu Xiao Yun, even with such a Cultivation Technique as Divine Dragon Nine Changes, is by no means easy, every bit of time must be used for practicing.

Fortunately, from this trip to Big Market City, he gained great rewards, aside from a mid-level Earth-grade secret technique ’Demon Form Technique,’ he got a large amount of Yuan Stone, even including third-grade Yuan Stones, so he wouldn’t have to worry about the Yuan Stone consumption for a long time.

It should be known, that now every day of his practice requires consuming a large number of Yuan Stones, exceeding a hundred second-grade Yuan Stones, accumulating over time, it is a vast quantity. Without adequate wealth, practice would become problematic.

Many Martial Artists with decent talent see their progress slow due to a lack of training resources, eventually fading into the crowd.

Bang!

With a casual wave, Luo Feng closed the courtyard gate, walked to the center of the courtyard, sat cross-legged, took out a third-grade Yuan Stone, closed his eyes, and gradually entered the profound state of practice.

Roar...

As the Yuan Qi flowed according to the trajectory of Divine Dragon Nine Changes, dragon roars echoed within Luo Feng’s body. One could see six transparent dragon-shaped Qi currents swirling around him.

If one could see the situation inside Luo Feng’s body, it would be noticed that there were also six dragon-shaped Yuan Qi inside him, shuttling back and forth among his meridians.

These are the dragon-shaped Qi meridians.

Currently, Luo Feng’s second transformation of Divine Dragon Nine Changes ’Blood Soul Transformation,’ had only been cultivated to the sixth level, forming only six dragon-shaped Qi meridians.

He wished to quickly cultivate the Blood Soul Transformation to the ninth level and form nine dragon-shaped Qi meridians!

By then, he could condense a wisp of True Yuan, and his strength could experience a leap.

The higher the grade of the Cultivation Technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate. With Luo Feng’s comprehension, even cultivating Divine Dragon Nine Changes was quite strenuous, unknowingly, he was already drenched in sweat.

However, he remained undisturbed, eyes tightly shut, fully channeling the Yuan Qi along the trajectory of Divine Dragon Nine Changes, operating the Grand Circulation...

The time of a Martial Artist passes quickly, and three days flew by.

During these three days, Luo Feng practiced Divine Dragon Nine Changes strenuously by night and trained the ’Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Saber’ and ’Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens’ by day, busy yet fulfilling.

Deep into the night, the round moon hung, bright and clear, casting a layer of white frost over Linglong Hall, appearing like a fairy island from afar.

Roar...

In Panlong Residence, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, with six dragon-shaped Qi currents centered on him, violently surging.

The night was silent, yet the entire courtyard was a different scene, with strong winds rising, and the bamboo forest beating with a crackling sound.

Buzz!

Suddenly, an odd fluctuation spread from Luo Feng’s body, and everything in the courtyard calmed down suddenly, while the dragon-shaped Qi currents around him increased from six to seven, churning and roaring, imposing in momentum.

Huff...

Exhaling a deep breath, Luo Feng opened his eyes, his brilliant gaze like lightning, tearing through the night.

After three days of secluded training, the Divine Dragon Nine Changes finally advanced further, reaching the seventh level of the Blood Soul Transformation, able to form seven dragon-shaped Qi meridians. The breakthrough of the Cultivation Technique also enhanced the quality of Yuan Qi, increasing the total amount by one-tenth.

Huff...

Standing up, Luo Feng circulated a tenth of his Yuan Qi within, and his robes immediately bulged.

Ha!

He punched out, creating ripples in the air, the next moment, they shattered like crystals collapsing, causing the entire Panlong Residence to tremble slightly, and the ground cracked into wide, intersecting crevices.

"Now, the Yuan Qi within me, in both quality and quantity, exceeds that of a Martial Artist at the early eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. I wonder what level I will reach after my Cultivation breaks through the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm..."

With this thought passing through his mind, Luo Feng beckoned with his hand, and Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber placed beside him flew into his grasp. He opened the courtyard door and walked out.

Tomorrow is the day when the hunting tournament rankings will be announced, and with the successful breakthrough of Divine Dragon Nine Changes, he felt no drowsiness, planning to practice the saber technique, quietly waiting for dawn.
