“Hmph! That’s a nice stance, it better not be mere form.”

Lu Han cackled at Luo Feng.

Woosh!

Next, he hit the scabbard he carried behind his back, then a sharp sword flew into his hands.

Bzz!

When Lu Han shook his wrist lightly, the edge of his sword buzzed. In addition, the sword light sent chills down the spines of the Purple Sun Institution students around them.

He approached Luo Feng with his sharp sword.

His momentum grew with every step taken, and he carried an aura so threatening that he seemed like a towering mountain that could oppress anyone anytime.

“Ah!”

A student with a low cultivation base shrieked and looked at Lu Han fearfully. He almost fell down as he staggered a few steps back.

Bing Ruolan, Qin Luoxue, and the rest were concerned too.

Heroic Boundary allowed one to overwhelm others by using force gained from gathering one’s momentum.

Martial artists below Heroic Boundary would feel a heavy pressure upon facing such force, which would affect their movements. In fact, one look from a person with a certain level in Heroic Boundary could turn them into idiots.

“Luo Feng, be careful. He’s the number one master in Extensive Net Institution’s Outer Institution, and he cultivates Gale Sword Technique, a Yellow Rank Upper Class martial art. He’s very powerful!” Bing Ruolan reminded Luo Feng softly.

Luo Feng nodded and was calm as usual.

Owing to Luo Feng’s strong spiritual power, Li Yuanhao who was a master in Essence Boundary could not suppress him, let alone Lu Han who was in Heroic Boundary.

Nonetheless, Lu Han’s cultivation base was not weak at all. The force from him was at least ten times stronger than from Chen Xin!

“Interesting.” Lu Han licked his lips when he noticed that Luo Feng was totally unaffected by his aura.

Luo Feng stood three meters in front of Lu Han and wielded his Tiger Essence Saber. “Let’s begin.”

Lu Han sneered, then pointed a finger at Luo Feng condescendingly. “Luo Feng, don’t think that I’m bullying you. I’ll defeat you in ten moves, or I’ll admit loss!”

He spoke arrogantly as if everything was within his control, and the tone of his speech was intimidating to the others.

Nevertheless, the crowd did not think that Lu Han was being presumptuous, because it was natural that he behaved like this.

After all, his cultivation base was at Heroic Boundary, which was a boundary above Luo Feng. Ten moves were enough to determine the winner and the loser.

‘Ten moves…’

Luo Feng rubbed his nose, then shook his head at Lu Han with a smile. “Ten moves are too many.”

‘Mm?”

Lu Han was startled upon hearing his response. ‘Ten moves are too many? Is this fella going to admit defeat so quickly?’

“Haha… He’s probably looking for an out since he knows that he’s not a match for Senior Brother Lu Han!”

“Of course, how can he be a match for Senior Brother Lu Han? Director mentioned that he is very likely going to be one of the next Four Rising Stars! I think it’ll be a miracle if Luo Feng can withstand even five moves from him.”

“Five moves? You overestimated him. I think he’ll definitely be defeated in three moves!”

Many from the crowd laughed to scorn at Luo Feng.

The Extensive Net Institution students who were angry at him for defeating Chen Xin ridiculed and shot disdainful looks at him.

Luo Feng simply put three fingers out and said to Lu Han with a smile, “I think three moves are enough for me to defeat you.”

‘Eh!!’

The waves of laughter were brought to a halt. The crowd looked at Luo Feng as if he was a freak.

Luo Feng actually said that he could defeat Lu Han in three moves!

“That fella must be joking, either that or he’s mad! He actually thinks that he can defeat Senior Brother Lu Han in three moves!”

“He must be mad!”

The Extensive Net Institution students glared at Luo Feng.

“You’ll defeat me in three moves?”

Lu Han almost fainted. He initially thought that Luo Feng would be scared witless upon hearing him saying that he would defeat him in ten moves.

It turned out that Luo Feng looked down on him instead.

“Very well! Let’s see how you’re going to defeat me in three moves!” Lu Han scoffed, then pounced on Luo Feng.

Since he cultivated Agile Drift Steps, a Yellow Rank Middle Class Light Body martial art, it was hard to pin him down as he moved swiftly like the wind.

The students present could only see flashes of Lu Han’s body as he zoomed toward Luo Feng.

Violent Clouds Three Swords!

With extreme focus, Lu Han stabbed Luo Feng with his sword as if a dragon penetrated the clouds.

Tss, tss, tss!

Lu Han attacked thrice with his sword in an instant, which was so unbelievably fast that sounds of silk being ripped were heard as his sword pierced the air.

Luo Feng stood still and squinted his eyes when Lu Han became closer to him.

A formidable aura could be sensed from Luo Feng at that instant, and the crowd looked up at him in awe!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

He slashed with his Tiger Essence Saber thrice as well, but his aggressive attacks stirred air billows.

Ching!

The scene was unclear to the crowd due to their quick motions, as well as the saber lights and sword shadows that enveloped them. Despite that, students from both institutions were astounded at the great momentum from the clashes of the saber and the sword.

Thud, thud, thud…

A figure was seen taking multiple steps backward.

‘How is it possible!’

Extensive Net Institution’s students widened their eyes in disbelief.

The figure that fell back embarrassingly was Lu Han!

“What happened? Why did Senior Brother Lu Han fall backward instead!”

“Senior Brother Lu Han performed Moving Clouds Sword Technique, what martial art did Luo Feng use to fend him off!”

“Uh… I don’t think Luo Feng used any martial art,” someone suddenly mentioned.

Tss!

The crowd gasped. ‘He resisted Lu Han, a Heroic Boundary powerhouse, without using any martial art! That’s too terrifying!’

“It must be Senior Brother Lu who let him win on purpose! He was retreating for the sake of advancing! Let’s watch, Senior Brother will teach that fella a lesson!”

One of them who was not resigned to the outcome commented, and the others nodded in agreement too.

“That’s one move.”

Luo Feng looked at Lu Han plainly. It was true that he did not use martial arts earlier because there was no need for him to use martial arts at all.

Ever since he improved his Heavy Mountain Blade Technique to a higher state, the might of one casual slash from his saber surpassed that of when he first perfected the blade technique.

In other words, a casual slash from his saber was similar to an ordinary Yellow Rank Middle Class Blade Technique!

Lu Han’s face darkened and he was no longer as relaxed as he was earlier.

His right arm was slightly numb and the area between his thumb and his index finger hurt.

“Chen Xin mentioned that this fella has extraordinary force, but I didn’t pay attention to that information. Now, it seems like this fella’s a freak indeed, a person in Iron Bone Boundary shouldn’t have this amount of force!”

“Second move!”

Luo Feng smirked at Lu Han as the six invisible Qi Dragons rose and drifted around him.

Swoosh!

He transformed into a strong wind by activating Soaring Dragons Steps to the extreme, then appeared in front of Lu Han before the spectating crowd could even catch him.

Lu Han’s heart skipped a beat and he wondered. ‘Luo Feng moved like a ghost!’

“You lost!” He later regained his senses, then aimed for Luo Feng’s throat with his sword.

Cloud-piercing Sword!

“It’s too soon to tell!” Luo Feng sneered as he waited at ease to attack. Through leveraged force, he swung his Tiger Essence Saber from down to up.

Ching!

Sparks flew when Luo Feng’s Tiger Essence Saber and Lu Han’s sword clashed.

It was exactly what Luo Feng had expected. He curled his lips at Lu Han. “Flaming Tiger Sets Fire!”

By holding his right hand into a fist, Luo Feng charged at Lu Han as if he was about to set him on fire.

Lu Han was utterly shocked.

It was then when he realized that Luo Feng intended to get closer to him from the start!

‘Damn it!’

Lu Han cursed, then punched back in a hurry to counterattack. He used Iron Lava Fist, a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial art!

Though both of them used Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts, Luo Feng had almost cultivated Roaring Tiger Fist to Complete State, whereas Lu Han’s Iron Lava Fist was only at Minor Success State…

Boom! When they clashed again, Lu Han flew nearly ten meters away. A few spots on his Extensive Net Institution uniform split open, and he was in an exceptionally embarrassing state.

Fortunately, his profound cultivation base and his sturdy physique protected him from being injured, by which only his vital energy weakened a little.

“Third move!”

Luo Feng did not stop. He leaped over ten meters away using Soaring Dragon Steps, then swung his Tiger Essence Saber at Lu Han’s head.

Heaven-crushing Blade!

With a pair of electric eyes, Luo Feng struck Lu Han with his Tiger Essence Saber that transformed into a stretch of dark red silk.

While it looked like a casual slash, it carried a fearsome aura as it contained the energy of Heaven-crushing Blade Technique’s first three levels. Luo Feng became a killing god at that instant, and was unstoppable!

Gulp…

The crowd gulped as they watched Luo Feng fearfully.

“What blade technique is that! Why is it so powerful!”

Bing Ruolan was surprised.

“That’s probably Heaven-crushing Blade Technique, a Yellow Rank Supreme Class martial art from our institution, it was Luo Feng’s reward for being the first Roaming King.”

“I can’t believe that his Heaven-crushing Blade Technique became so powerful in just about ten days, he probably cultivated it to Level Three already! I’m afraid that even Senior Sister Zi Yuan who’s one of the Four Stars falls far behind Luo Feng!”

Qin Luoxue was equally shocked.

Luo Feng was a freak for having the talent to cultivate a Yellow Rank Supreme Class martial art to Minor Success State in just a few more than ten days!

“Fella, don’t be too complacent, you’re too young to defeat me!”

Lu Han roared, “Hurricane!”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

With both hands on his sword handle, Lu Han who turned mad attacked Luo Feng over ten times! Chilly sword wind accompanied his attacks, which was a martial art he mastered in, Gale Sword Technique!

Luo Feng put on a serious face upon facing the sword lights, then shouted with a thunderous voice, “Break!”

Swoosh! He pressed forward with his Tiger Essence Saber, then slashed!
