Chapter 1191 - 1188: The Ranking Tournament Begins!

Swoosh...

As soon as the words were spoken, Gu Xifeng waved his hand, and four pills flew into the hands of Luo Feng and the other three.

"These are top-grade fifth-tier Spirit Pills called Refine Yuan Spiritual Awakening Pills, which can help you eliminate fatigue and restore Yuan Qi. Take the pills and wait for the ranking tournament to start."

Luo Feng and the others took the pills and walked to the side.

Xia Yunjing walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, bit her red lips, and said to Gu Xifeng:

"Mentor, I’m sorry. I... I lost."

Gu Xifeng shook his head and showed a rare smile, "Yunjing, you don’t need to blame yourself. I know you tried your best, it’s just that Luo Feng is too strong."

Xia Yunjing’s eyes brightened slightly, "Mentor acknowledges Luo Feng?"

Gu Xifeng said indifferently, "I only acknowledge his identity as a disciple of Linglong Hall."

"Thank you, Mentor." Xia Yunjing revealed a hint of joy between her brows and smiled broadly.

Luo Feng walked to a vacant spot nearby, sat cross-legged, and took the Refine Yuan Spiritual Awakening Pill.

After passing three challenges, the next step is the promotion competition. Today has been a tense day of competition. Although Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi hasn’t been exhausted much, after nearly a whole day, his spirits are somewhat fatigued. Competing in such a state will certainly affect his strength.

Buzz!

The pill entered his stomach, and immediately, a cool medicinal power rose from his abdomen, merged into the Yuan Qi, flowing through the hundred meridians of his body. A sense of comfort rose from the depths of Luo Feng’s heart, and fatigue vanished entirely.

"What a wonderful pill!"

Luo Feng’s mind stirred, and he immediately began to operate the Divine Dragon Nine Changes to recover the depleted portion of Yuan Qi.

Moments later, Luo Feng awoke from meditation, his gaze sharp as electric light, with an indescribable keenness, his Jing Qi Shen fully restored to peak state.

Nearby, Yang Wanyi and others were still meditating.

Time passed bit by bit, and then Yang Wanyi and others successively recovered from their cultivation.

Finally, a stick of incense passed, and six Hall Masters appeared above the Hundred Dragon Pillars.

"Look, the terrain is changing."

Yang Wanyi said to Luo Feng.

As soon as the words fell, the six Hall Masters suddenly joined forces to strike a Yuan Qi column at the center of the Hundred Dragon Pillars.

Boom!

The mountain peak trembled, and a huge beam of light surged skyward from the center of the Hundred Dragon Pillars, straight up to the clouds. Accompanied by creaking sounds, the Hundred Dragon Pillars moved in all directions, and in the space revealed in the middle, a colossal round martial arts platform rose.

The martial arts platform stretched over a thousand meters, with ten dragon pillars belonging to ten new dragons standing around it. The flying dragons carved on the dragon pillars had unknowingly opened their mouths, spraying blue beams of light. The beams connected into a large protective shield, enclosing the martial arts platform.

"The Ascending Dragon Platform has appeared, the ranking tournament is about to start!"

"Ascending Dragon Platform, Ascending Dragon Platform... Once on the Ascending Dragon Platform, one transforms into a dragon. I wonder who the ten people will be this year, who have the final honor to stand on this Ascending Dragon Platform, gain the fortune of heaven and earth, become the Ten New Dragons, and gain fame worldwide."

Seeing the rising martial arts platform, the whole Group Dragon Island erupted into a sky-high cheer.

After the three challenges and the promotion competition’s elimination, the twenty who are eligible to participate in the ranking tournament are undoubtedly the most outstanding talents of the younger generation. The upcoming duels will be the pinnacle battles of this New Dragon Rankings assembly!

Swoosh!

Amid cheers, twelve elders from the Golden Palace responsible for the competition flew to the martial arts platform. A Heavenly Sword Pavilion elder with a weathered face stepped forward and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ranking tournament is about to begin. The rules for this ranking tournament remain the same as before; the top twenty participants in front of the Hundred Dragon Pillars will compete. Each participant can challenge others, and if victorious, the challenge is successful, and the challenger will take the opponent’s rank, until no one challenges anymore. The same participant cannot be challenged consecutively. At the end of the competition, the top ten participants will receive the title of the Ten New Dragons of this year!"

"Now, please, Hundred Dragon Pillars participants, return to your respective dragon pillars."

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...

As the Heavenly Sword Pavilion elder’s voice fell, figures continuously rushed toward the dragon pillars.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, good luck!"

"Senior Sister Waner, you will definitely become one of the Ten New Dragons."

Seeing the ranking tournament about to start, the Linglong Hall disciples watching from the peak cheered for Luo Feng and others, each with a flushed face, radiantly beautiful, as if they themselves were the ones competing.

"Thank you, junior sisters."

Just as Luo Feng was about to move to the dragon pillar, Shui Linglong approached.

"Sister Linglong."

With no one else around, Luo Feng’s address was also relaxed.

Shui Linglong smiled, glanced toward the direction of the Hundred Dragon Pillars, and advised:

"Luo Feng, if you want to vie for the first place on the New Dragon Rankings, your biggest enemy will be Jian Wuji. He is a once-in-a-century sword dao genius. A year ago, his Sword Intent cultivation had reached seventy percent; I don’t know how much he has grown now. Before you encounter him, you must play it safe, and try not to expose your strength prematurely if you have any assurance. Moreover, don’t challenge him too early; he and Yu Bufan will certainly have a fight. You can observe then, know your enemy..."

"And you will be victorious!"

Luo Feng smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, Sister Linglong, I won’t act impulsively."

"That’s good."

Shui Linglong laughed, looking at Luo Feng, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile, "Go ahead, show everyone the strength of Linglong Hall’s disciple Luo Feng! Today will be your first step out of the Canglang Dynasty."

"Yes!"

Luo Feng nodded, executing the Sky Cloud Step, and leaped toward the dragon pillars.

Scenes like this unfolded across various Golden Palace stations.

With the stakes high in the ranking tournament, high-level executives of various Golden Palaces hoped their disciples could advance as far as possible in the competition.

On the other side, the Crown Prince asked Leng Feifan with a sullen face:

"Leng Feifan, more than half of the New Dragon Rankings assembly has passed. When will you take action? Or are you unable to kill him?"

Leng Feifan was also somewhat irritated, glanced at Luo Feng on the dragon pillar, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:

"Don’t worry, Crown Prince. Failing during the three challenges was just an accident. Once the ranking tournament starts, I will challenge Luo Feng and kill him."

Ever since becoming one of the Seven Blood Flowers, Leng Feifan had never failed. This time, however, he was embarrassed by Luo Feng escaping during the Profound Weight Gate, tarnishing his reputation. Even without the Crown Prince’s urging, he couldn’t wait to kill Luo Feng.

"That’s good."

The Crown Prince coldly smiled and sat down again.

Just as Leng Feifan was about to head out, a figure suddenly emerged from the side, blocking him.

"Qin Xuan? What are you doing?"

Leng Feifan frowned.

Qin Xuan bit her red lips, hesitated slightly, and transmitted her voice, saying, "Leng Feifan, can you forgo the mission to assassinate Luo Feng? As the head of the Seven Blood Flowers, the Tower Master surely won’t punish you."

Leng Feifan face darkened, and he spoke in a low voice, "Qin Xuan, do you also think I’m not his match?"

"No, it’s not like that..."

Qin Xuan frowned slightly, wanting to explain, yet not knowing how to begin.

For some reason, after watching Luo Feng’s matches, she instinctively felt that Leng Feifan was definitely not Luo Feng’s match, and the chance given by Luo Feng before during the Profound Weight Gate had already been lost.

If they faced off again, one of them would surely die!

And that person, in Qin Xuan’s view, was highly likely to be Leng Feifan.

Considering the camaraderie as fellow Blood Flower Tower disciples, she didn’t want to see Leng Feifan step towards his death, hence her counsel. However, this reason clearly couldn’t be spoken.

"Get out of the way!"

Leng Feifan, cold-faced, pushed Qin Xuan aside and said as he turned his head, "It was my carelessness before. This time, during the confrontation, he is sure to die!"

Swoosh!

As soon as the words fell, Leng Feifan vanished from the spot.

Qin Xuan watched Leng Feifan’s back, opened her mouth, but ultimately only sighed and said, "May their fate be entrusted to heaven..."

A moment later, everyone had ascended the Hundred Dragon Pillars.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion elder, seeing everyone had arrived, cleared his throat and said loudly:

"The ranking tournament officially begins, I hope everyone stops at a reasonable point! Whoever wishes to challenge, speak the opponent’s name directly on the Ascending Dragon Platform!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the words fell, sounds of air being pierced arose, and two figures almost simultaneously appeared on the Ascending Dragon Platform.
