Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 649 - 647: Breaking the Record!

Ye Siyi looked at Luo Feng with a hopeful expression.

She knew that Luo Feng had learned a kind of Martial Arts that could conceal Yuan Qi fluctuations, and she guessed in her heart that this was the reason Luo Feng hadn’t shown any signs of breaking through.

She couldn’t help but wonder, to what level has Luo Feng grown?

Perhaps he could break the former record of advancing three levels...

Looking at Luo Feng, an idea suddenly flashed in Ye Siyi’s mind.

Luo Feng smiled bitterly inwardly. These past twenty-odd days, my Cultivation has been stagnant, with no progress at all.

Just as he was considering how to explain, Ye Siyi’s Daimei knitted slightly, her alluring red lips curled into a somewhat helpless smile, "My time is up. I will be in Sky Feather Square, waiting for your answer."

Looking at Luo Feng, Ye Siyi gave him a soft smile.

HUM!

As her voice fell, a milky-white pillar of light shot into the sky, and Ye Siyi’s figure instantly vanished.

Luo Feng let out a sigh of relief. If I told Ye Siyi my Cultivation hadn’t progressed at all, she definitely wouldn’t believe me.

Finally, they’ve all gone.

Looking at the other empty nine stone pillars, Luo Feng got up. He used his Soul Power to carefully examine the surroundings and confirmed that no one was monitoring the place.

HOO...

Exhaling a breath of impure air, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. He took a lunge step forward and launched a punch through the air.

BANG!

The air abruptly shattered, and a fierce wind swept through the calm space. The powerful fist energy penetrated a full 800 meters before gradually dissipating.

Concealing his aura, Luo Feng revealed a confident smile.

Although his Cultivation had not progressed at all in these twenty-odd days, he had been using Yuan Qi to temper his meridians, flesh, and blood. His physique had greatly improved; his skin was like jade, and it felt full of power.

The punch just now didn’t utilize Yuan Qi; it was purely his physical strength. Yet, its power was comparable to a full-force strike from a Martial Artist at the early third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

If Luo Feng were to fight Yi Wuxue now, he was confident he could defeat him within a few moves even without using Yuan Qi.

Luo Feng muttered to himself, "With only three days left, I should first see if my guess is correct." He took the crimson jade bead from his storage ring and held it in his hand.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but the moment he grasped the crimson jade bead, Luo Feng felt the crimson Yuan Qi cluster in his heart throb gently.

Shaking his head, Luo Feng then sat down cross-legged.

Success or failure hinges on this one attempt.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng closed his eyes, performed the Chi block, and began to cultivate.

HUM!

A strange fluctuation spread from Luo Feng’s heart. All the Yuan Qi within a hundred-meter radius immediately poured in, forming a massive Yuan Qi vortex that swirled ceaselessly, resembling a nebula.

Luo Feng focused his mind and entered the crimson jade bead.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a loud and clear dragon roar pierced the sky.

The jade bead in Luo Feng’s hand erupted with dazzling firelight, and a phantom of a crimson flame dragon appeared.

The crimson flame dragon’s eyes surveyed the world with peerless dominance. The flames burning all over its body dyed the entire space a brilliant red.

After encircling Luo Feng once, the crimson flame dragon plunged headfirst into the Yuan Qi vortex above Luo Feng’s head.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

At that instant, the Yuan Qi vortex abruptly swelled. A fierce wind howled, and vast, pure Yuan Qi was drawn in, causing the entire space to tremble violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

「Sky Mountain, Sky Feather Square.」

Currently, the entire Sky Mountain was shaking violently. Dozens of Sky Mountain managers appeared in the square.

"What’s going on? Could there be a problem with the core formation?" a Sky Mountain manager cried out in alarm, staring at the distorting and changing golden pillar of light.

"Oh no, Luo Feng is still inside the core formation!"

"What do we do?"

"Should we break open the core formation and save him?"

"With our strength, we can’t even open the first layer of restrictions of the core formation. Destroying the core formation is simply impossible."

Dozens of Sky Mountain managers gathered around the Martial Champion Stele, discussing anxiously.

The green-robed Manager Ning stood to the side, his gaze fixed on the violently trembling Martial Champion Stele, his expression grim.

Luo Feng was this year’s number one Martial Champion. If he were to die in the core formation like this, it would be a disgrace to the Twelve Golden Palaces. Moreover, Luo Feng was the Inner Sect Disciple personally appointed by Shui Linglong. If anything were to happen to him, knowing Shui Linglong’s character, she would not let it pass easily. The thought of Shui Linglong single-handedly storming the West Desert Demon Realm gave Manager Ning a headache.

Manager Ning sighed. "I hope he will be safe." This grand formation was jointly established by forty-nine Spiritual Rotation Realm experts. Unless a True Yuan Realm powerhouse arrives, there’s no hope of forcibly opening it.

In Sky Feather Square, a few students who hadn’t left yet remained.

Feeling the terrifying Yuan Qi fluctuations, Ye Siyi was deeply shaken and silently prayed for Luo Feng in her heart.

On the other side of the square, Yi Wuxue and Xie Xuantong stood together, their gazes fixed malevolently on the golden pillar of light. Luo Feng, it would be best if you died in there! they thought.

Inside the core formation, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, his muscles taut, sweat pouring down his forehead like rain.

The moment his mind sank into the crimson jade bead, a boundless and mighty torrent of Yuan Qi surged over him like an unbridled wild horse, completely beyond his control. All Luo Feng could do now was to firmly guard his consciousness and prevent himself from fainting.

Fortunately, the twenty-odd days of Yuan Qi body tempering had made Luo Feng’s meridians exceptionally resilient, allowing him to withstand such a terrifying torrent of Yuan Qi. If it were an ordinary person, they would have likely coughed up blood and been severely injured long ago!

ROAR!

The crimson flame dragon continuously roared and circled within the Yuan Qi vortex. Wisps of crimson light escaped from the jade bead and merged into the flame dragon’s body, causing its aura to grow increasingly powerful.

Time passed swiftly, and an unknown period lapsed.

CRACK!

A clear cracking sound was heard as the crimson jade bead in Luo Feng’s hand suddenly split open.

At this moment, the crimson flame dragon’s body had swelled by a full size, now over a hundred feet long. Its scales were as vibrant as blood and incredibly lifelike. Its entire body burned with raging crimson flames, as if it could incinerate heaven and earth!

ROAR!

With a resounding dragon roar, the crimson flame dragon tilted its head back and roared. Like a great whale inhaling water, it swallowed the massive Yuan Qi vortex in one gulp, then dived down and disappeared into Luo Feng’s heart.

Luo Feng’s body trembled as he felt a vast power surge into him.

Looking inward, Luo Feng was astonished to find a dragon-shaped stream of Qi, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, passing through his meridians and directly rushing into the crimson Yuan Qi cluster in his heart.

BUZZ!

The next moment, the previously motionless crimson Yuan Qi cluster, as if ignited, began to rapidly expand.

Luo Feng felt his intrinsic Yuan Qi increasing at an incredible speed.

Early third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Mid-third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Late third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Feeling the changes in his Cultivation, Luo Feng’s heart pounded wildly, his excitement irrepressible.

In a short time, his Cultivation had soared, breaking directly through to the late third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, advancing two full minor realms!

But it didn’t stop there.

A moment later...

Peak of the third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

The two crimson Yuan Qi clusters, shining brilliantly, expanded once more! He had reached the peak of the third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, just a hair’s breadth away from stepping into the fourth level.

Just as Luo Feng thought he could ride this momentum, break through the bottleneck, and step into the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, everything suddenly went quiet.

It seems it’s over...

After a moment, Luo Feng opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a deep breath. His gaze was like lightning, illuminating the void, and a strong sense of confidence emanated from him.

This crimson jade bead is truly no ordinary item!

Looking at the jade bead that had crumbled to dust in his hand, a sharp light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.

Actually, at first, he hadn’t been very confident about cultivating with the crimson jade bead. He never expected such astonishing changes. In a short period, his Cultivation broke through successively, directly reaching the peak of the third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Moreover, Luo Feng felt the Yuan Qi within his body was exceptionally dense, not inferior to that of a fourth-level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. Coupled with his exceptionally powerful physique, he might even have a chance of winning against a fourth-level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist.

Luo Feng smiled. It’s a pity I’m not truly at the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Otherwise, I’d have a fifty percent chance of winning the duel against Yi Tian in two months!

Luo Feng chuckled, feeling he was being a bit too insatiable.

Going from the early third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to the fourth level would be a full four minor realms. This far surpasses Ye Siyi and the others, even breaking the record!

Let me see what’s going on with the crimson Yuan Qi clusters...

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Feng focused his mind on his heart.

The two crimson Yuan Qi clusters had expanded more than tenfold. They were scarlet and dazzling, like two blazing suns, containing terrifying power.

What startled Luo Feng even more was that the indistinct, almost palpable sensation had now become extremely clear—profound and mysterious.

It seems there are still many things I don’t understand...

With a wry smile, Luo Feng’s body trembled slightly, and he concealed his aura, making it difficult for outsiders to discern his Cultivation.

I wonder how much time has passed...

Luo Feng looked around and suddenly sensed intense Yuan Qi fluctuations in the surroundings. His eyebrows raised as he realized he had actually been cultivating for three whole days!

「Sky Mountain.」

Dozens of Sky Mountain managers anxiously watched the now-quiet Martial Champion Stele.

Sky Mountain had inexplicably trembled for three whole days. Just moments ago, everything had suddenly calmed down. Although they didn’t know what had happened in the core formation, the golden pillar of light that served as the entrance had become extremely unstable. The situation inside was likely dire.

"Manager Ning, should we notify Linglong Hall?" one of the Sky Mountain managers asked.

The green-robed Manager Ning frowned slightly and shook his head, "The time is not up yet. Let’s wait and see."

Elsewhere, Yi Wuxue stared at the gradually dimming golden pillar of light, a sinister coldness in his eyes. He said to Xie Xuantong beside him, "It seems Luo Feng is mostly doomed. That saves me the trouble of making a move..."

BUZZ!

Just then, the golden light screen distorted, and a figure shot out.

"Luo Feng!"

Seeing the figure appear, the nearby Sky Mountain managers became agitated.

Ye Siyi’s furrowed Daimei relaxed, and she let out a soft sigh of relief.

WHOOSH!

The figure landed steadily on the ground, dressed in a Purple Sun Azure Cloud Robe, the uniform of Purple Sun School’s inner courtyard students.

Ye Siyi walked to within three steps of Luo Feng and asked, "Luo Feng, are you alright?"

Luo Feng shook his head. "I’m fine."

Ye Siyi glanced at the Martial Champion Stele. "What happened in there?"

At her words, all eyes turned to Luo Feng, waiting for his response.

Luo Feng looked slightly surprised. "Nothing happened inside. Why are you all gathered here?"
