Martial Arts Overlord

Atop Yunlan Peak, the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth from an area several dozen miles wide, influenced by an invisible suction, surged and converged into the Yuan Qi vortex above Luo Feng's head in Snow Valley, then melded into his body.

The terrifying Yuan Qi, like a herd of fierce tigers, surged through Luo Feng's veins.

WHOOSH!

The sound of rushing wind echoed as a tall young woman's figure appeared in Snow Valley. It was the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin.

This… Not only the Yuan Qi in Snow Valley, but even the Yuan Qi from several dozen miles around Yunlan Peak is being drawn to him!

Upon seeing the situation in Snow Valley, a stunned expression appeared on He Qin's pretty face.

The Snow Valley, usually filled with dense fog, was now bright and clear. However, the area within several dozen feet of Luo Feng was still swathed in thick fog, as all the surrounding Yuan Qi of heaven and earth was drawn toward him.

Staring at the vigorously swirling Yuan Qi vortex before her, He Qin's eyes sparkled. Is he not afraid of his veins bursting from absorbing so much Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi? Even a Level Nine Heavenly Court Realm expert couldn't refine such terrifying Yuan Qi in a short time.

As she spoke, He Qin's fair hands clenched tightly, worry flickering in her eyes, concerned that something unexpected might happen to Luo Feng.

I've really overdone it this time!

At this moment, Luo Feng also found the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi converging from all directions to be overwhelming.

Currently, his entire body felt like a waterlogged sponge, incapable of holding any more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Yet, pure Yuan Qi from the surroundings continued to flood in ceaselessly.

If He Qin could see Luo Feng right now, she would discover that the veins all over his body were bulging from beneath his skin, looking as if they might burst at any moment.

Feeling an imminent breakthrough and surrounded by the surging Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, Luo Feng grew a bit impatient. Agitated, he unexpectedly attracted the Yuan Qi from several dozen miles around, an influx he couldn't stop.

Whatever! I'll break through first!

Luo Feng gritted his teeth, fully controlling the Yuan Qi in his body and directing it toward the Meridian Wheels in his Dantian.

The vast Yuan Qi surged fiercely within his body like a massive wave. It rushed into his Dantian, violently crashing against the two Meridian Wheels.

CRACK!

A clear shattering sound echoed as the two Meridian Wheels suddenly exploded. Endless golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire Dantian with a spiritual glow.

Mid-stage of the Eighth Level Hell Realm!

Feeling the change in his Dantian, Luo Feng was overjoyed.

He had originally estimated that breaking through to the mid-stage of the Eighth Level Hell Realm would take at least a month, possibly two or three.

He never expected to succeed in just five days.

Of course, this uniquely blessed cultivation spot also played a big part.

In an ordinary place, he would never have access to such massive Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to attempt a breakthrough.

As soon as he broke through, Luo Feng immediately felt his flesh, blood, and veins elevate to a new level.

In an instant, the Blood Qi circulation in his body became tens of times faster than before, roaring like a raging flood. The sound was horrifying; the clamor of Yuan Qi could be heard from dozens of feet away.

Blood Qi like a raging river! He's only at the Eighth Level Hell Realm; how can his physique be so formidable? The sound of his Blood Qi circulating is actually audible outside his body! This is a state many Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm Martial Artists fail to achieve!

He Qin's Divine Sense was sharp. She instantly sensed the changes in Luo Feng's body and was so shocked she was speechless.

To reach the state of Blood Qi like a raging river with only an Eighth Level Hell Realm cultivation—such formidable physical strength was simply unheard of! If word got out, no one would believe it.

Eh, his body has reached its limit! If he doesn't stop cultivating, his veins might be damaged! What should I do…

At this time, some of the fog around Luo Feng had dissipated. When He Qin saw Luo Feng's bulging veins, she immediately grew tense.

He Qin paced back and forth, her usual calm composure lost. Seeing Luo Feng's engorged veins, she looked somewhat helpless.

If she forcefully interrupted Luo Feng's cultivation now, the consequences could be even more severe than damaged veins.

What do I do now?

Luo Feng was also extremely anxious.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi poured in relentlessly. He had truly reached his limit; his veins felt as if they would explode at any moment.

That's right, the Yuan Seed! How could I have forgotten it! Luo Feng suddenly remembered the Yuan Seed Cang Nanyue had left in his body, and joy filled his heart.

The Yuan Seed was the origin Yuan Qi of a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert, extremely potent, and could be used to suppress the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

HUM!

An eerie fluctuation resonated in his Dantian as the Yuan Seed began to rotate slowly, absorbing all the excess Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

Seizing this opportunity, Luo Feng immediately began circulating the Condensation Yuan Technique, directing all the Yuan Qi into his Dantian.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion sounded in his Dantian. The Yuan Qi vortex above Luo Feng's head suddenly accelerated. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi transformed into white streams of Qi and merged into his body.

He actually absorbed all that enormous Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi…

He Qin watched Luo Feng, her beautiful eyes wide in astonishment.

At this moment, Luo Feng's expression had returned to normal. He stood up, and the Yuan Qi vortex above his head abruptly shrank and disappeared into his body.

In that instant, Luo Feng felt the Yuan Seed in his Dantian swell to more than double its original size, now filled with terrifying Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

"Breaking Sky Fist!"

Luo Feng clenched his left fist. A transparent Qi vortex instantly appeared and struck out into the air.

BOOM!

A boulder a hundred meters away exploded violently. The entire Snow Valley trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

A hole the size of a house was punched into the cliff face.

His cultivation had advanced to the Eighth Level Hell Realm, and a Martial Artist's Gang Qi became more condensed. He tested it, and it was indeed immensely powerful; this fist strike was more than ten times stronger than before!

Now, if Luo Feng encountered Yuan Li and Chen Feng, he wouldn't even need to use the Sky Collapse Fist. The Hundred Steps Divine Fist alone would be enough to leave them utterly defenseless.

My Yuan Qi has increased more than tenfold. Luo Feng secretly assessed his condition, greatly surprised.

Each breakthrough within the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm would increase Yuan Qi severalfold. For ordinary Martial Artists, an increase of three to four times was already remarkable. An increase of more than tenfold was somewhat inconceivable.

This must be the effect of the Condensation Yuan Technique. I never thought this martial art could be so powerful! Luo Feng pondered for a moment and immediately understood.

"He Qin, you're here."

Luo Feng collected his thoughts and only then noticed He Qin standing nearby.

He Qin, dressed in white, stood amidst the pure white snow. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her eyebrows resembled distant, snow-capped mountains, and her eyes shone like stars in a spring night's pond. The snowy backdrop further accentuated her natural beauty and ethereal temperament.

"Luo Feng, congratulations. You reached the mid-stage of the Eighth Level Hell Realm in just two months. Such progress is truly astounding. Ordinary people would find it hard to take this step even in one or two years."

Seeing Luo Feng was unharmed and, in fact, had grown much stronger, He Qin felt a wave of relief and congratulated him with a smile.

"I have you to thank for this, He Qin. If you hadn't allowed me to cultivate in this Snow Valley, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly." The benefits Luo Feng had gained this time were unimaginable, and he was naturally deeply grateful to He Qin.

Glancing around, Luo Feng was slightly startled.

The Snow Valley, originally shrouded in fog, was now bright, but the Yuan Qi had become extremely thin. It could no longer be called a Cave Sky Paradise!

This…

Luo Feng realized this must have been due to his frenzied absorption, which had completely depleted the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in Snow Valley.

Scratching his head, Luo Feng looked at He Qin and said, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm really sorry. I didn't realize this would happen."

Seeing Luo Feng's awkward expression, He Qin covered her enticing red lips with her slender fingers. GIGGLE. "You don't need to apologize. The Rain Heart Grass is still here, so the Yuan Qi will gradually recover after some time. On the contrary, you were absorbing Yuan Qi so frantically just now; I was worried something might happen to you."

Luo Feng looked at He Qin, momentarily stunned. A phrase suddenly surfaced in his mind: A beauty's smile is devastatingly captivating!

He Qin usually wore a cold expression, like the eternal snow on Yunlan Peak. But her smile just now was enough to make all flowers pale in comparison.

Noticing Luo Feng staring at her, He Qin's cheeks flushed slightly. She reached up with a delicate hand to touch her cheek and asked uncertainly, "Luo Feng, is there something on my face?"

Luo Feng looked at the beautiful young woman before him and said after a moment, "He Qin, this is the first time I've seen you smile. You look really beautiful when you smile."

He Qin was slightly taken aback. Her pearly teeth bit her red lip, and her beautiful eyes, filled with a complex emotion, gazed at Luo Feng. The hands hidden in her sleeves were even trembling slightly.

She had displayed outstanding cultivation talent from a young age and was hailed as a pride of Heaven. With seemingly limitless prospects, she was pursued and admired by many.

But only she knew the hardships hidden behind the glory of being Heaven's favored daughter.

She had no playmates and could only cultivate silently alone. As she matured and grew more captivating, the respectful gazes around her became mixed with unwelcome attentions, causing her to withdraw further. For nearly three years at Tianlan School, she had spent most of her time in this Snow Valley.

Even she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had last smiled in front of anyone.

"Yes. It has been a long time since I last smiled," He Qin sighed with emotion, the words slipping out as if compelled by an unknown force. Her cheeks immediately reddened. She gently pushed Luo Feng, urging, "Let's leave now. Your cultivation caused such a huge commotion earlier; the Principal and the others will likely come to investigate."

For some reason, He Qin didn't want anyone other than herself and Luo Feng to know about this hidden Snow Valley.

Luo Feng nodded. It was best if fewer people knew about such a precious cultivation site.

As the two walked towards the edge of Snow Valley, Luo Feng, recalling He Qin's earlier words, suddenly said, "Actually, you should smile more. You don't know how beautiful you are when you smile."

He Qin's heart trembled slightly. She shyly lowered her head and quickened her pace, her soft voice drifting back on the wind, "Mm."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Let's hurry up," He Qin said quickly, then immediately executed a Light Martial Art and hastily flew towards the top of Snow Valley.

Luo Feng shook his head, executed Teng Dragon's Step, and followed her.

After ascending from Snow Valley, they rushed several miles in a different direction. Once certain no one would notice Snow Valley's location, they slowed their pace.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Just then, a sudden rush of wind was heard as over a dozen figures flew rapidly toward them.
