Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 754 - 752: Childhood Sweethearts (Part 3)

Bing Hanbai’s gaze fell on Luo Feng, an unusual light flashing in his icy eyes.

In just three days, he had witnessed Luo Feng’s rapid advancement, which had greatly surprised him. Now, to his shock, Luo Feng’s body had even reached the realm of Spirit and Flesh Unity.

It is important to understand that unlike Yuan Qi, physical strength cannot be enhanced by using Yuan-stone Spirit Pills. Physical refinement is very slow and demands rigorous trials. Even many True Yuan Realm masters who cultivate Tempering Body techniques are unable to reach the Spirit and Flesh Unity realm.

Moreover, Luo Feng was not a Martial Artist who practiced Tempering Body techniques, but a Saber man...

"Spirit and Flesh Unity!"

Yue Haitang was also taken aback. She glanced at the crisscrossing saber cuts in the yard, her eyes flickering. A Martial Artist who has achieved Spirit and Flesh Unity can use their fists and feet like sabers, bringing their full power into play even without weapons.

"Hit me with all your strength. Don’t use Yuan Qi," Bing Hanbai said suddenly, looking at Luo Feng.

He still somewhat doubted whether Luo Feng had truly achieved Spirit and Flesh Unity.

"This..." Luo Feng hesitated slightly.

Bing Hanbai calmly said, "Don’t worry. With your current strength, you can’t hurt me."

"Alright then!" Luo Feng also wanted to test the power of his current punch. He nodded, his demeanor suddenly changing.

BUZZ!

With a shake of his body, a commanding aura burst forth from Luo Feng. The powerful presence forced Yue Haitang, who was standing to one side, to involuntarily take two steps back.

With a slight exertion, Luo Feng immediately felt the change. A restless, stirring power, almost mystical, seemed ready to burst from his fist.

"Be careful!" Luo Feng looked at Bing Hanbai, let out a low shout, then lunged and threw a punch directly at him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A translucent film erupted from his fist, striking the air and causing continuous explosions as the punch crashed into Bing Hanbai.

BOOM!

With a thunderous explosion, Bing Hanbai’s body shattered, pulverizing into ice shards scattered across the ground. The powerful impact spread out in layers, like ripples in water.

Yue Haitang’s eyebrows twitched. She quickly deployed a Gang Qi protective shield. Even so, the force compelled her to retreat repeatedly, and she was inwardly astounded by the power of Luo Feng’s punch.

Bing Hanbai walked out from behind the scattered ice. He glanced at the shards on the ground, then fixed his gaze on Luo Feng.

"Vigorous blood and Qi, Yuan Coagulation in the Body, Gang Descends from the Heart, fists like sabers and swords. There’s no mistake. This is indeed Spirit and Flesh Unity."

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on Bing Hanbai’s face.

Even he had never seen someone progress so quickly. Achieving the Spirit and Flesh Unity realm, something countless Martial Artists dreamed of, in just three days was simply unthinkable. However, ordinary Martial Artists could not train with such insane intensity.

This is Spirit and Flesh Unity!

Hearing Bing Hanbai’s words, Luo Feng’s heart leaped, his eyes filled with immense joy.

He also felt that his punch just now was different from before; its power could be compared to a Saber Technique. Luo Feng guessed that no one below the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm would be able to withstand this punch.

"Luo Feng, congratulations on achieving Spirit and Flesh Unity. This is the realm that numerous Tempering Body Martial Artists dream of. Some can’t even achieve it in a lifetime. You are truly amazing!" Yue Haitang approached, looking at Luo Feng with a joyful and admiring expression.

Luo Feng rubbed his nose and smiled. "Thank you."

The Divine Dragon Nine Changes had not yet advanced to the second stage, but having achieved Spirit and Flesh Unity, breaking through was only a matter of time. Luo Feng was also very excited.

"I’ll go and tell your aunt and uncle about this." Yue Haitang glanced at Luo Feng and Bing Hanbai. Sensing they might have something to discuss, she excused herself and turned to leave.

Watching Yue Haitang depart, Luo Feng turned his gaze to Bing Hanbai and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your intervention just now."

Luo Feng knew deep down that if Bing Hanbai hadn’t intervened at the critical moment, Yue Haitang would likely have been seriously injured because of him.

Bing Hanbai’s face showed no emotion as he said indifferently, "I didn’t intend to help you. There’s no need for thanks."

Luo Feng gave a wry smile inwardly. This man truly lived up to his name, so cold and detached.

Noticing Bing Hanbai’s gaze resting on Bing Ruolan’s room, Luo Feng hesitated for a moment and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind, "Do you know Ruolan?"

Bing Hanbai unexpectedly nodded. "We’ve known each other since childhood."

Luo Feng sensed a tenderness in Bing Hanbai’s words and frowned slightly. "Do you... like her?"

Hearing this, Bing Hanbai withdrew his gaze and looked at Luo Feng, a peculiar light in his eyes and an almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.

"That’s right. Are you regretting thanking me now?"

Luo Feng crossed his arms, looking at Bing Ruolan’s room, his expression unchanged. "I haven’t stooped that low. You saved Haitang, so I respect you for that. It has nothing to do with who you are."

Bing Hanbai’s sword-like eyebrows rose. "Do you really think you can defeat the Young Palace Master of the North Sea Ice Palace?"

Luo Feng turned back, a smile on his face but a hint of determination in his eyes. "Three months ago, Yi Tian said the same thing to me. Now, he’s feeding the fish in Phoenix Soaring Lake."

Bing Hanbai was visibly startled for a moment. He let out a soft breath, and a strange smile touched his lips. "You are indeed an arrogant person, audacious to the extreme. However, I’m starting to understand why my little sister might have fallen for you."

Just as Luo Feng was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze. He looked at Bing Hanbai in bewildered disbelief. "Little... sister? You..."

"You’re also the slowest person I’ve ever met." Bing Hanbai looked at Luo Feng and shook his head. "Bing Ruolan is the princess of the North Sea Ice Palace."

Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace... Luo Feng looked at Bing Hanbai in astonishment. "Then you are..."

"I’m her elder brother," Bing Hanbai stated.

Elder brother...

Luo Feng felt the world was changing too quickly; he could barely keep up.

Realizing he had mistaken this man for Bing Ruolan’s childhood sweetheart, Luo Feng couldn’t help but scratch his head, saying awkwardly, "Just now, I..."

Bing Hanbai waved his hand dismissively. He looked out at the courtyard and said slowly, "My little sister is a pitiful child. When she was just one year old, her mother went to the depths of the Endless Ocean to retrieve the Nine-Colored Glass Mixed Water Beads as a gift for her first birthday. She was attacked by unidentified assailants and met a tragic end. Because of this, our father’s temperament changed drastically. She never experienced familial warmth growing up. Except for me, she has always been alone..."

Luo Feng frowned slightly. He had never heard Bing Ruolan mention any of this.

Bing Hanbai turned his gaze back to Luo Feng. "All her life, my little sister has striven to be the best, to avoid troubling others. She never asks for help, not even from me, her elder brother. So, when she came to me, begging me to save you, I was truly astonished."

"So, you came to Phoenix Soaring Mountain because of Ruolan..." Luo Feng murmured, a wave of realization washing over him as he drew a light breath.

Bing Hanbai walked closer and patted Luo Feng’s shoulder. "This is the first time I’ve seen her care so much for someone. I hope you won’t let her down."

Luo Feng paused, then looked at Bing Hanbai in surprise. "You approve of me and Ruolan?"

Bing Hanbai exhaled softly and smiled faintly. "Although you’re a bit slow, you’re much better than that brat from the Nangong family. Your strength is also barely passable. Besides, Ruolan was willing to risk her life, forcibly using her Saint Soul to save you. Given her personality, I doubt anyone could stop her."

Luo Feng’s heart pounded in his chest. Moments ago, he had been worried about how to persuade Bing Hanbai. He hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly!

"Brother-in-law! I initially thought you were cold and aloof, but now I see I was mistaken. You’re a considerate and reasonable man!" Luo Feng, his spirits soaring, threw an arm around Bing Hanbai’s shoulders and laughed heartily. "Rest assured, I will never let anyone harm Ruolan!"

Bing Hanbai’s brow furrowed slightly, a fleeting doubt crossing his mind as to whether he had entrusted his sister to the right person.

Just then, a maidservant hurried out from the courtyard. Seeing the two men, she exclaimed, "She’s awake! The young miss is awake!"
