CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169: LUO FENG ISN’T THAT IMPRESSIVE

As Cang Nanyue’s words fell, not only the two men in black but everyone else was also shocked.

"Sister Nanyue, isn’t this too dangerous?" Zi Yuan walked closer, her brows slightly furrowed.

Of the two men in black, one was a cultivator in the late stage of the seventh-level Essence storage Realm, and the other was in the middle stage of the same realm. Both were formidable.

Even if the two of them teamed up to attack, Zi Yuan wasn’t completely confident she could escape unscathed. Besides, Luo Feng wasn’t even allowed to fight back.

Cang Nanyue didn’t answer, her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Feng as she said, "Luo Feng, your Teng Dragon’s Step has hit a bottleneck. Without immense pressure, a breakthrough will be difficult. This is a risky gambit, like snatching chestnuts from a fire. Whether to proceed is your decision."

Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He took a breath, nodded, and said, "I agree."

The path of Martial Arts is perilous; only those who triumph stand out. ’Heavenly Fragrant Woman’ He Qin had already stepped into the eighth-level Hell Realm; he was already lagging behind. Now that he had a chance to rapidly enhance his strength, how could he pass it up?

"Great courage! Well done!" Cang Nanyue looked deeply at Luo Feng, admiration evident in her gaze.

Luo Feng must understand the dangers of this training method, yet he still nodded in agreement without a change in expression. This shows he has broken free from his mental shackles and possesses immense determination. With such courage, his future achievements would be immeasurable.

"Luo Feng, be careful," Bing Ruolan reminded him worriedly, seeing he had made his decision.

Luo Feng nodded with a slight smile, his gaze calm. "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Cang Nanyue turned to the men in black who were still standing there dumbfounded and asked, "Why haven’t you started?"

The two men in black swallowed, their eyes flickering nervously.

What’s wrong with these people? Have they gone mad, devising such an insane training method? Even though they were from the Demon Sect, they never trifled with their own lives. Who would willingly seek death?

The two men stared at Luo Feng, hesitating, unsure whether to attack.

Losing patience, Cang Nanyue drew her sword and said slowly, "If you won’t attack, then there’s no point in keeping you. I’ll send you on your way!"

"We’ll attack! We’ll do it now! Don’t kill us!"

Realizing Cang Nanyue was serious, the two men in black felt their hair stand on end and hurriedly jumped into the circle.

"That’s more like it." Cang Nanyue nodded. A smile suddenly appeared on her uniquely beautiful face as she said slowly, "Oh, and you’d better use your full strength. If you manage to kill him, I’ll let you go."

What!

The two men in black were visibly shaken. As a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert, Cang Nanyue could kill them as easily as flipping her hand, so there was no need for her to deceive them.

Kill him, and we can leave!

Gazing at Luo Feng, the two men in black licked their lips, their eyes gradually turning sharp.

Sensing the intense killing intent emanating from them, Luo Feng gave a wry smile.

Cang Nanyue is a woman of her word. Her words are a reminder to the men in black, and also to me. Even if my life is truly in danger, Cang Nanyue won’t intervene this time.

This makes it more interesting!

Luo Feng calmed his breath, pushing his Teng Dragon’s Step to the limit. The space around him gradually distorted as eight Qi Dragons roared out, heads and tails thrashing, their momentum reaching its peak.

"Heisi, kill him!" the thin man in black barked, taking a step forward.

BANG!

The surrounding ground fractured as the skinny man in black threw an incredibly fierce punch straight ahead.

"Kid, you’re so arrogant to challenge us brothers, truly courting death! Die! Shadow Killing Palm!" The man named Heisi cackled strangely, his figure like a phantom, flickering behind Luo Feng as his palm shadows poured out.

Luo Feng felt the air around him grow incredibly heavy. Daring not to be careless, he immersed himself completely in the battle, pushing his Teng Dragon’s Step to its utmost to maneuver and dodge within the circle.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Powerful shockwaves, each stronger than the last, erupted. Large cracks snaked across the ground, spreading in all directions.

SWISH!

Luo Feng was grazed by the residual energy, leaving a small tear in his clothes.

I’m still too slow. Luo Feng glanced at the small tear on his sleeve, pondering.

Seeing Luo Feng dodge their pincer attack, the two men in black were somewhat surprised. They then roared, "Let’s see how many moves you can dodge!"

BOOM!

Their first attack having missed, their second followed immediately.

Gang Qi, carrying the sound of collapsing mountains and raging tsunamis, and its terrifying momentum made Zi Yuan and the others watching from the side feel their palms grow cold.

"Will Luo Feng be okay?" Bing Ruolan watched the fight nervously, her fingers tightly interlocked, not daring to blink.

The two men in black were both experts. Luo Feng was like a small boat in a raging storm, in constant peril and at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Xu Mei, being slightly older, had come to understand Bing Ruolan’s feelings for Luo Feng over the past few days. While envious, she was also happy for Bing Ruolan. She smiled and said, "Relax. Luo Feng once defeated Duanmu Yu of the Essence storage Realm when he was only at the sixth-level of the God Bravery Realm. His potential is limitless; he won’t be defeated so easily."

"Mm." Bing Ruolan nodded, but the tension in her azure pupils didn’t lessen in the slightest.

He managed to evade them all? Could he have already begun to grasp the intent realm of ’Centimeter Hundred Changes’?

Although she was mentally prepared, Cang Nanyue was still shocked by Luo Feng’s performance. Watching the black-haired youth maneuver and dodge within the circle, a peculiar light flickered in her captivating eyes.

Luo Feng’s footwork in dodging the two men in black, while still somewhat stiff, seems to already contain a trace of the profound intent realm of ’Centimeter Hundred Changes’! To think that Luo Feng could comprehend to such a degree after only her brief demonstration! Even Cang Nanyue, accustomed to seeing all sorts of young geniuses, couldn’t help but feel ripples of emotion in her beautiful eyes.

A moment later, Cang Nanyue slowly exhaled and turned to the others who were watching, stunned. "Let’s go. You have other training tasks."

「The sun rose and set, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.」

"That’s all for today," Cang Nanyue said to the three people in the circle.

THUD!

Hearing this, Luo Feng collapsed directly onto the ground, panting heavily. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his body bore dozens of small wounds, all inflicted by the residual energy of the two men in black. The strength of the two men in black was exceptional. Even going all out, it was extremely difficult for him to evade all their attacks.

The two men in black also looked terrible; their Yuan Qi was severely depleted, and their breathing was ragged. Looking at the black-haired youth lying on the ground, a look of shock flashed in their eyes. They had initially thought that with their combined strength, killing Luo Feng would be effortless. But they hadn’t expected him to be so incredibly tenacious! After an entire day, they still hadn’t managed to seriously injure him!

"This kid is bizarre!" the man named Heisi said in a low voice.

"No matter what, he’s just a fifteen-year-old boy; he can’t possibly be our match. Tonight, we’ll strategize properly. Tomorrow, we go all out and make sure to kill him!" the skinny man in black said grimly, his eyes glinting with intense killing intent.

Footsteps sounded as Bing Ruolan walked to Luo Feng’s side and carefully fed a medicinal pill into his mouth. "Luo Feng, quickly take this Blood Restoration Pill."

Luo Feng felt a cool stream flow through his internal organs, and his breathing eased somewhat. Looking up, he saw Bing Ruolan’s eyes were red, on the verge of tears. Luo Feng was slightly stunned, then smiled. "I’m just out of Yuan Qi. I’ll recover after some rest. Don’t worry about me."

"I’m not worried about you! Who asked you to agree to such dangerous training!" Bing Ruolan bit her lip, her voice carrying a hint of exasperation. Because of her anger, a blush spread across Bing Ruolan’s pretty face. Under the jade-like moonlight, she looked even more captivatingly beautiful, like a pure lotus leaf—refined and otherworldly.

Luo Feng, seeing the concern in Bing Ruolan’s eyes, felt a warmth spread through his heart. He stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and said, "Ruolan, your pill is truly amazing; I feel much better."

Hearing the implication in Luo Feng’s words, a blush appeared on Bing Ruolan’s face. The Blood Restoration Pill is just a first-grade healing Spiritual Medicine. How could it have such amazing effects?

"Luo Feng, are you alright?" Xu Mei’s inquiry suddenly broke the subtle, ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Luo Feng shook his head. "Just some minor injuries. They’ll heal soon."

Zi Yuan, Xu Mei, and the others approached. After looking Luo Feng over, Xu Mei’s pretty eyes showed her surprise. "To face the full-force attacks of two seventh-level Essence storage Realm experts and only receive superficial wounds... Your strength is too terrifying!"

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "It wasn’t that easy. I was almost seriously injured several times. I was just lucky."

Xu Mei, hearing this, wouldn’t believe it. Luck can’t keep someone unscathed under the siege of two seventh-level Essence storage Realm martial artists.

"So smelly!" Zi Yuan sniffed, her small nose wrinkling. Covering her nose and mouth with her slender, fair hand, she looked at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, hurry up and go wash! You stink of sweat." Pulling Bing Ruolan, who was standing beside Luo Feng, she pouted. "Bing Ruolan, he’s so smelly, how can you still stand next to him?"

"Ah, I... I didn’t notice just now." Bing Ruolan glanced at Luo Feng, her pretty face flushing like a sunset cloud, making her look indescribably charming and captivating.

Nearby, the slightly older Yang Hong and Xu Mei watched this scene, both shaking their heads slightly and chuckling to themselves without speaking.

Luo Feng sniffed himself. After training for a day, there was indeed an odor. He said, embarrassed, "I’ll be back in a moment."

As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he had already darted a hundred meters away.

His agility cultivation has improved again! If this keeps up, I’ll definitely be surpassed by him. Zi Yuan watched Luo Feng’s retreating figure, her bright, watery eyes showing some unwillingness. She turned to Cang Nanyue. "Sister Nanyue, I want to train like Luo Feng too!"

Cang Nanyue knew Zi Yuan had a competitive spirit and shook her head. "It’s not time for you yet."

Zi Yuan’s small face puffed up. "Why can Luo Feng do it, but I can’t?"

WHOOSH!

A sudden sound of rushing wind! Cang Nanyue’s jade-like hand suddenly shot through the air, ever-changing, thrusting towards Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan’s delicate brows rose. Tapping her foot on the ground, her figure floated backward. However, Cang Nanyue’s palm wind was faster, like a thunderbolt in the night sky, arriving in an instant, already at Zi Yuan’s forehead.

"If it were Luo Feng, he definitely could have dodged this strike." Cang Nanyue withdrew her hand and said softly, then spoke no more.

Zi Yuan touched her forehead, which still felt cool. Her bright pupils darted around, and she pursed her red lips. "Luo Feng is *that* good? I don’t believe it..."
