Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 694 - 692: Meridian Wheel Transforms into Dragon, Fifth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Chapter 694: Chapter 692: Meridian Wheel Transforms into Dragon, Fifth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Two Nine Apertures YuanLing Pills hovered above Luo Feng’s head, rotating violently and dispersing wisps of green Yuan Qi from their nine apertures.

For a moment, the air throughout Lanwei Residence filled with a rich green light. Even a pond was rendered a clear, translucent jade-green, like a piece of pure, transparent jade.

Nine Apertures YuanLing Pills could not be consumed directly; Gang Qi was needed to extract their medicinal power and integrate it into one’s body.

As the medicinal power diffused, wisps of green light visible to the naked eye permeated Luo Feng’s entire body through his pores. For a moment, his entire skin glowed with a faint green light.

At this moment, Luo Feng felt a surge of medicinal energy pour into his body. The two yellow Dragon-shaped revolving spirits in his spleen roared violently, greedily devouring the medicinal power of the Nine Apertures YuanLing Pills. The two Meridian Wheels in his lungs, which had shown little movement until now, also began to stir, faintly swelling with a sense of imminent metamorphosis, like caterpillars about to break free from their cocoons.

Feeling the changes in his body, a thrill of pleasant surprise flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.

If the two Meridian Wheels in my lungs transform into Dragon-shaped revolving spirits, I can successfully ascend to the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng discarded all distracting thoughts, focused his mind, and channeled all his strength into assaulting the bottleneck to his next realm.

The Yuan Qi slowly and powerfully orbited according to the cultivation path of the first transformation of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes. With each revolution, Luo Feng felt the Yuan Qi in his body grow denser, bringing him one step closer to the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

One Grand Circulation.

Ten Grand Circulations.

One hundred Grand Circulations.

Three hundred Grand Circulations.

...

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, gradually losing track of time. In his perception, all that remained was the Yuan Qi continuously circulating within him. His consciousness seemed to detach from his body, merging with the entire universe.

This was the state of profound immersion that countless Martial Artists pursued, yet he had achieved it unintentionally.

ROAR...

In the courtyard, faint sounds of a dragon’s roar began to echo. Substantial waves of vibrations emanated from Luo Feng’s body, causing large waves to ripple in the pond, slapping the shore and creating continuous "PLOP PLOP" sounds.

「Outside」

Lanyu sat on a tree branch, carefully wiping her longbow, her thoughts preoccupied with Luo Feng’s life-or-death duel against Yi Tian.

Less than ten days are left...

Lanyu exhaled softly. The image of Luo Feng felling the leader of the Blood Roar Adventure Group with a single strike flashed through her mind, and she mumbled absently, He... he should win, right...?

Just then, Lanyu suddenly heard the faint sound of a dragon’s roar. She raised her head to look towards Lanwei Residence, and a pair of beautiful eyes beneath her shapely Daimei widened slightly in astonishment. She stood up involuntarily, looking down from her vantage point in Luo Feng’s direction.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, an invisible current of air violently rotating around him.

An ordinary person witnessing this would only perceive it as a grand spectacle.

But Lanyu, as a Martial Artist at the third level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, possessed exceptional insight and could detect something unusual about it.

She noticed that the Yuan Qi around Luo Feng wasn’t merely flowing; it had transformed into numerous soaring dragons, roaring ceaselessly as they flew and circled around Luo Feng as their center.

The scene looked as if these dragons were paying homage to Luo Feng.

What... what exactly is he cultivating? Lanyu was inwardly stunned. She had seen masters at the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm cultivate before, but none possessed such an astonishing aura.

Moreover, Martial Artists at the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm couldn’t use a Cultivation Method; their practice should only cause a simple flow of Yuan Qi. Yet, Luo Feng’s cultivation actually caused the Yuan Qi to form a Divine Dragon Illusion—it was simply inconceivable!

Watching Luo Feng, encircled by the Divine Dragon Illusion, a subtle gleam flickered in Lanyu’s beautiful eyes. She mused with a touch of longing, I truly wish I could see the achievements you’ll make in the future...

With a faint smile, Lanyu didn’t probe further and sat back down.

Luo Feng was able to win the honor of being the First Martial Champion against everyone’s expectations; he definitely isn’t that simple. Every peerless genius has their secrets, to a greater or lesser extent...

「One day passed.」

「Two days passed.」

「Three days passed.」

By the fourth day, the immense commotion in the courtyard had long since subsided.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged on a clean rock, a few fallen leaves settled on his head. He was as motionless as a rock that had stood for millennia.

He still hasn’t broken through... Lanyu thought, gazing at Luo Feng’s mountain-still figure, her Daimei furrowed slightly.

Although breaking through from the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to the fifth level was very difficult, most Martial Artists would see results within two days.

A seclusion lasting three days was already extremely rare, and the longer the delay, the smaller the chance of a successful breakthrough.

And now, Luo Feng had been in seclusion for four days, yet there was still no sign of movement.

Anxiety began to simmer in Lanyu’s heart.

She had also heard of Yi Tian, the Princely Heir of Qingyun Mansion.

As an expert on the New Dragon List, Yi Tian’s strength is undoubtedly formidable. If Luo Feng doesn’t become a Martial Artist at the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, his chances of victory are slim. And in a life-or-death duel, defeat means one’s life has reached its end.

As Lanyu was lost in her troubled thoughts, the sound of footsteps approached, growing louder.

"Vice-Captain Lanyu!"

The newcomer was a Martial Artist from the Green Flame Adventure Group, who walked straight to the base of the tree Lanyu was in.

Lanyu’s Daimei knitted slightly, a hint of annoyance in her beautiful eyes. "Didn’t I say that no one is to come within a step of this place?"

It was the young Martial Artist’s first time seeing Lanyu angry; he was somewhat taken aback but replied respectfully, "Vice-Captain, it couldn’t be helped. Lengxiao, the leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, is here."

"Lengxiao?"

Hearing this, Lanyu’s Daimei furrowed, a trace of aversion in her beautiful eyes. "What has he come for?"

The young Martial Artist said, "He’s here to collect the Yuan Stones that are due as tribute this month."

So it’s about that... Lanyu had a moment of realization. She had been so tense acting as Luo Feng’s protector these past few days that she had even forgotten the date.

By custom, today was the day the Cold Origin Adventure Group came to collect the Yuan Stones.

For Lengxiao to come personally for such a trivial matter, that’s truly unexpected.

Lanyu recalled the events of a few days prior, sneered, and said to the young Martial Artist, "I don’t wish to see him. Have Manager Xu deliver the Yuan Stones to him."

A troubled expression appeared on the young Martial Artist’s face as he looked at Lanyu. "Vice-Captain, Manager Xu has already gone. But... this time is different. The Captain wants you to go as well..."

"Lu Qing?"

Lanyu’s eyes flickered. Lu Qing should know I’m acting as Luo Feng’s protector. For him to summon me at this time, something significant must have happened.

Glancing at the still motionless Luo Feng in the courtyard, Lanyu said to the young Martial Artist, "I’ll go and be right back. You stay here. Don’t let anyone enter Lanwei Residence!"

"Rest assured, Vice-Captain, I won’t let anyone disturb Young Master Feng Luo’s cultivation!" the young Martial Artist said respectfully.

The incident on the street a few days ago had already caused a great stir throughout the western part of the city. A youth of fifteen or sixteen, facing the leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group without a trace of fear, had earned the admiration of many.

Lanyu nodded, tapped her foot lightly, and her body glided away like an agile bird.

Watching Lanyu leave, the young Martial Artist muttered to himself, Lengxiao’s visit this time doesn’t bode well. I hope the Vice-Captain can handle it.

With that thought, the young Martial Artist glanced towards Lanwei Residence, hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed to the main gate.

He too had heard about Luo Feng saving Lu Qing and Lanyu in the Red Dragon Mountain Range. Coupled with the events of the past few days, he couldn’t help but feel immensely curious about this mysterious youth.

Just a peek... it should be fine, right...? Muttering this inwardly, the young Martial Artist held his breath and peered through a crack in the gate.

Seeing Luo Feng sitting there cultivating, as still as a boulder, the young Martial Artist thought, He doesn’t seem particularly special.

HUMMM...

Just then, the air vibrated. On Luo Feng’s forehead, a crimson, crescent moon-shaped mark emitted a faint golden light, sending ripples spreading outwards.

WHOOSH...

In an instant, the few fallen leaves on Luo Feng’s head ignited and vanished without a trace. The pond in front of him began to emit white mist, its surface roiling and bubbling with a GURGLE GURGLE sound.

Witnessing this, the young Martial Artist felt his heart clench under an invisible pressure, and he involuntarily held his breath.

ROAR...

A faint dragon’s roar echoed. The golden light around Luo Feng coalesced into a majestic golden dragon. Its brilliantly shining eyes were incredibly sharp, like two peerless divine weapons.

AUGH!

Meeting the dragon’s gaze, the young Martial Artist let out a muffled groan, staggered back several steps, and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

What... what was that...? The young Martial Artist’s face was filled with horror as he recalled the dragon’s gaze.

He was a late-stage ninth level Meridian Wheel Realm Martial Artist, considered a semi-expert in Red Valley City, but the sheer pressure from those eyes alone had been enough to injure him.

ROAR!

Within the small courtyard, golden light erupted, and a golden dragon, enveloping a figure within it, soared into the sky.

A moment later, the golden light vanished, and a figure stepped out from within.

I’ve finally reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm! My strength is truly extraordinary now!

The figure was Luo Feng. After four days of seclusion, the two Meridian Wheels in his lungs had finally evolved into two golden Dragon-shaped revolving spirits, and his cultivation had, as he wished, broken through to the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

At the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, both the abundance and quality of his Yuan Qi had undergone a massive leap. Luo Feng estimated his strength had increased by at least ten times. This made him even more astonished by the Divine Dragon Nine Changes; even if one cultivated a high-grade Earth-rank Cultivation Technique, the quality of their Yuan Qi would likely not be so incredible.

A Martial Artist of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, fifth level...

Below, the young Martial Artist sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly at Luo Feng’s figure.

There were countless Martial Artists in Red Valley City, but those at the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm or above were few and far between.

Lengxiao, the leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, was an early-stage fifth-level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. But Lengxiao was already over forty; barring any unforeseen circumstances, that would be the peak of his achievements in this lifetime.

But Luo Feng was so young; his future prospects could be said to be limitless.

WHOOSH...

With a wave of his hand, the turbulent winds around him subsided. Luo Feng’s figure landed before the young Martial Artist. He glanced around and asked, "Where’s Lanyu?"

...

「Meanwhile, elsewhere.」

SWOOSH!

Lanyu used her Qinggong to hurry towards the assembly hall, a myriad of thoughts flashing through her mind.

Lengxiao actually came personally this time. What on earth happened? Could it be because of that incident a few days ago?

Lost in thought, Lanyu unknowingly arrived outside the Green Flame Adventure Group’s assembly hall.

「Inside the Assembly Hall.」

All the upper echelons of the Green Flame Adventure Group were present.

In the foremost seat on the right, sat a burly, fierce-browed middle-aged man in a cool-toned robe—none other than Lengxiao, the leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group.

Behind Lengxiao, the five top experts of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, known as the ’Cold Origin Five Tigers,’ stood ramrod straight, their postures like unsheathed swords.

"Lu Qing, if you can’t produce the Yuan Stones, our Cold Origin Adventure Group will no longer protect your Green Flame Adventure Group," Lengxiao stared at Lu Qing, a cold sneer on his face, the threat in his words palpable. "The situation in the western part of the city is chaotic right now. If any ’accidents’ were to happen, I can’t guarantee anything."
