Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 571 - 569: An Unexpected Person

"Someone is coming out!"

"Who is it!"

Seeing the figure emerging from the waterfall, the entire Skyridge Plaza immediately silenced. Everyone strained their necks, looking towards the figure that rocketed out of the waterfall.

The figure treaded on the waves, steadily landing on the bluestone beneath the waterfall. It was a young man in a green shirt with a saber at his waist.

"A student from Long Wind School! It’s Wei Kuang, wielder of the Wild Wind Saber!"

"Unexpectedly, it’s Wei Kuang. I thought it would be Luo Lie from Chongyue School."

"Wei Kuang is a top young master, on par with Luo Lie. For him to secure first place in the preliminary screening is well-deserved."

"Drawing conclusions now is premature. I don’t think Luo Lie is far behind."

"Right, the most exciting part is yet to come. Let’s see who gets to have the last laugh..."

Seeing Wei Kuang, the spectators’ emotions immediately surged.

「In the direction of the Black Cloud Domain.」

Xie Xuantong’s dark face became all the more gloomy. "What on earth is Luo Lie doing! He’s actually fallen behind Wei Kuang."

Cold light flashed in Yi Wuxue’s stern eyes. He licked his lips and said, "Don’t worry, the exciting part has just begun. It’s the final sprint now, testing the martial artists’ Qinggong cultivation. Luo Lie’s Black Thrush Shadow Step won’t concede to anyone."

"Of course, I know this. What I cannot stand is others stealing the limelight from our Chongyue School!"

Xie Xuantong let out a heavy snort. His powerful aura stirred up a whirlwind, drawing the gazes of surrounding martial artists.

「Under the waterfall.」

Wei Kuang stood on the bluestone, looking around and laughing triumphantly. "Hahahaha... the Rotary Solidification Pill is mine!"

Turning around, Wei Kuang’s cold gaze was fixed on the waterfall exit, his brows knitted.

He had originally planned to teach Luo Feng a lesson during the competition. However, for some reason, Luo Feng hadn’t shown up yet.

"Luo Feng, you got lucky this time. I’ll let you be arrogant for a few more days. The next time we meet, I’ll let you know what real despair is!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

With a cold laugh, Wei Kuang stepped onto the stream of light and dashed towards the summit.

He was worried that if he lingered here too long, he would be overtaken by others.

WHOOSH!

Not too long after Wei Kuang had left, another figure rushed out of the waterfall.

SWISH!

The figure, dressed in a green uniform and wrapped in python-shaped Gang Qi, seemed to move slowly but was incredibly fast.

The moment the figure landed and saw the water marks on the bluestone, his eyes flashed. The python-shaped Gang Qi around him surged, lifting him off the ground again as he pursued in the direction Wei Kuang had disappeared.

"Eh, it’s Chen Kui, the Double-headed Python from the Xiushui Domain! How could it be him!"

"Strange, Luo Lie still hasn’t shown up."

"What on earth happened to them underground..."

Upon seeing the young man who appeared right after Wei Kuang in Skyridge Plaza, the spectators’ eyes widened. They had initially thought it would be Luo Lie, but the reality was surprising.

Even though Chen Kui was a promising young talent from the Six Southern Domains and had a small reputation, he was still quite behind Luo Lie and Wei Kuang.

"Hmph! To be lagging behind a small fry like Chen Kui, what a disgrace to our school!" Xie Xuantong was seething with irritation.

Yi Wuxue slightly furrowed his brows, peering at the peak in the middle of the plaza while a cold light flickered in his eyes, presumably deep in thought.

At the highest spectator’s stand of Skyridge Plaza sat the elders of the six major Golden Palaces.

Xue Wuqing from the Jade Hall, who sat on the left, slowly addressed the extraordinary beauty in a cyan dress sitting beside him, "Shui Linglong, it seems we both guessed wrong."

"Perhaps not," Shui Linglong sipped some tea, lightly responding.

Xue Wuqing slightly furrowed his brow, shaking his head as he laughed. "Could it be you still think Luo Feng could emerge as the champion?"

Shui Linglong set down her teacup, falling silent, which was seemingly a tacit agreement.

The others witnessing this scene were both surprised and respectful. Shui Linglong was the sister of the Hall Master of Linglong Hall, and as the second Hall Master of Linglong Hall, her status was extremely high. That she came to Sky Mountain took many by surprise.

Xue Wuqing shook his head. "Luo Lie still has some hope, but as for Luo Feng..."

Just as he was about to continue, a splash rose from the waterfall, and another figure shot out.

"Who is it?"

"It should be Luo Lie this time. His Black Thrush Shadow Step is a middle-grade Profound Level Light Martial Arts. He still has a chance to catch up with Wei Kuang and others."

The audience was abuzz, all guessing that the person appearing was the long-awaited Luo Lie.

SWISH!

A dark figure broke through the waterfall, in a flash, covering a distance of a thousand meters, and landed beneath the waterfall. It was a young man carrying a saber on his back, and in his arms were two extraordinarily beautiful young girls.

The young man with the saber on his back and the blue-haired girl were wearing Golden Sun Purple Cloud Robes, while another ice-cold, beautiful girl was dressed in a snowy robe.

"Students from the Purple Sun School of Flowing Cloud Region! It’s Luo Feng!"

"There is also a student from Tianlan School. If I’m not mistaken, she should be the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin, who was the top new talent last year from the four major schools of Flowing Cloud Region!"

Most of the audience flashed looks of shock on their faces.

They had all expected it to be Luo Lie and didn’t anticipate that three people would appear suddenly, all of them students from Flowing Cloud Region!

Apart from He Qin, who gained fame earlier, many people couldn’t even recognize Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan.

"What on earth is happening..."

Many people wore puzzled expressions on their faces.

Xue Wuqing saw the faint smile that Shui Linglong flashed at the corner of her mouth. His gaze then shifted towards Luo Feng’s figure in the center of the plaza, his brow slightly furrowed. He hadn’t expected Luo Feng to be the one who would appear.

"Brother Tian, look quickly, it’s Feng Er! Feng Er has come out!"

Seeing Luo Feng, Yang Qing tightly gripped Luotian’s hand. Her face was filled with surprise and joy, and the moistness in her beautiful eyes betrayed her tears of joy.

"Mm, I see him."

Luotian’s palm was also faintly trembling, his gaze filled with excitement.

He had originally thought it would be great if Luo Feng could make it into the top ten of the first round of exams, but Luo Feng performed even better than he had imagined.

"Congratulations, City Master Luo. With such a son, the Luo Family is sure to have a promising future!" After witnessing He Qin accompanying Luo Feng’s appearance, Zhou Zhiyun said with a slight smile.

She was very familiar with He Qin’s abilities. Logically, He Qin should not have appeared this quickly. It seemed like she must have received Luo Feng’s assistance.

Luotian laughed heartily. "Thank you, Dean Zhou, for your auspicious words."

At this time, Yang Qing’s emotions had slightly calmed down. She moved beside Luotian and whispered with a smile, "Brother Tian, don’t you think Feng Er and He Qin’s relationship seems unusual? Can you find out where He Qin comes from?"

"Qing’er, you’re at it again..."

Luotian knew what Yang Qing was thinking, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

「Beneath the waterfall.」

Luo Feng, applying Teng Dragon’s Step and carrying He Qin and Bing Ruolan, landed safely on the ground.

The three of them were standing close to each other. He could distinctly feel the fragrant scent emanating from both women, their slightly hasty breaths, and their warm body temperatures. Through their thin clothes, he could even touch their smooth and creamy skin. At this moment, a trace of warmth couldn’t help but stir in Luo Feng’s heart.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng suppressed the romantic thoughts in his heart and released his hold on the women, apologizing, "Sorry, it was a necessity earlier."

A blush spread across He Qin and Bing Ruolan’s cheeks as they shook their heads in response.

He Qin took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and looked at the ground. Looking up, she said, "Luo Feng, someone has already been here. If you want to fight for first place, you’d better hurry."

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded and said, "Then I’ll go ahead. You two should hurry and follow."

WHOOSH!

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng applied Teng Dragon’s Step. His body soared into the sky, turning into a streak of light and rushing towards the peak. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

"Bing Ruolan, let’s go too."

He Qin looked back at Bing Ruolan.

"Alright."

Bing Ruolan nodded slightly. After exchanging a look, they immediately looked away from each other, used Qinggong, and followed Luo Feng, each harboring their own thoughts.

WHOOSH!

Ten Qi Dragons were swirling around Luo Feng. He was in mid-air, like a bird spreading its wings, shooting forward at lightning speed. Every time his speed dropped, his foot would tap the body of a Qi Dragon, causing his speed to dramatically increase.

After Teng Dragon’s Step reached Perfection, his speed could compete with mid-Profound Level Light Martial Arts. Under Luo Feng’s full exertion, only a vague afterimage remained in the air.

"What incredible speed! What kind of Light Martial Arts has Luo Feng practiced? I can’t even see how he is moving."

"I know what kind of martial arts this is. If I’m not mistaken, it is Teng Dragon’s Step of the Purple Sun School. This martial art has been in the Purple Sun School for ten years without anyone successfully cultivating it. I didn’t expect him to accomplish it."

"Ten years and no one succeeded? Then the super genius Lu Xiao Yun, did he also fail three years ago?"

"Correct. Lu Xiao Yun only cultivated it to the first stage. As for Luo Feng’s Teng Dragon’s Step, it has most likely reached the fifth stage!"

"Does that mean Luo Feng has more potential than Lu Xiao Yun?"

"That’s probably impossible. This is just a single martial art, which doesn’t explain everything. Lu Xiao Yun is one of today’s top ten New Dragons. Luo Feng still has a considerable gap with him unless he could make it onto the Martial Champion Roll."

The people on the spectator stand, who were all people of status with extraordinary vision, instantly recognized the extraordinariness of Luo Feng’s Light Martial Arts.

The most shocked among all the people was Zi Hongyuan.

He found Teng Dragon’s Step in the Red Dragon Mountain Range. He had once tried to cultivate it, but he had not even managed to succeed at the first stage.

Not only him, but people including Cang Nanyue and Lu Xiao Yun had also tried to cultivate it, but all ended up failing.

And Luo Feng’s Teng Dragon’s Step, judging by his ability to display ten Qi Dragons, must have certainly reached Great Accomplishment, perhaps even Perfection!

This boy, his talent truly is extraordinary! Zi Hongyuan thought, inwardly shocked.

Under everyone’s gaze, Luo Feng moved like lightning. In just half an incense stick’s duration, he saw the figure of Chen Kui, the Double-headed Python, in the distance.

"What!"

Upon hearing the faint sound of the wind whistling behind him, Chen Kui turned his head back, and his face slightly changed.

In this short moment, the distance between him and Luo Feng had closed to one hundred meters.

"Luo Feng, I won’t lose to you!"

Chen Kui’s eyebrows raised. He bit his teeth in determination, fully activating the Yuan Qi in his body.

"Purple Python Soaring Through Clouds!"

With a loud yell, Chen Kui’s body erupted with purple light that twisted into a huge python about a water barrel’s thickness.

As the wind whistled, Chen Kui’s feet, each stepping on a huge python, immediately increased his speed by twenty percent as he flew forward.

Upon seeing Chen Kui, Luo Feng maintained a calm expression. He channeled Yuan Qi to his feet and stomped heavily onto a Qi Dragon.

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar faintly resounded through the void. Luo Feng’s speed increased once more, and the gap between him and Chen Kui gradually narrowed...
