Martial Arts Overlord

Luo Feng restrained Bing Ruolan’s arms from the back.

It was so quiet that both of them could hear the sound of each other’s heartbeats. Bing Ruolan’s face turned slightly red before she glanced at Luo Feng through the corner of her eye. She felt somewhat helpless due to her lack of control.

“Luo Feng…”

“Don’t move.”

Bing Ruolan had just piped up when Luo Feng’s voice rang out behind her. His clear voice managed to send chills down the girl’s spine.

She unconsciously stopped struggling but the redness in her cheeks became more obvious.

“The later parts are the most crucial ones, so you must carefully remember the following feeling.”

Luo Feng’s calm voice rang out. At the same time, he held Bing Ruolan’s hands and gently inhaled before he executed the Roaring Tiger Fist.

“Yes…”

Bing Ruolan’s cheeks were flushed when she finally reacted and nodded her head. She was slightly annoyed at herself for letting her imagination run wild earlier. Fortunately, Luo Feng could not see her current expression because he was behind her.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Bing Ruolan’s mind and body were completely focused on cultivating the Roaring Tiger Fist now.

“Raging Tiger Leaves Cave!”

“Evil Tiger Turns Head!”

“Flaming Tiger Sets Fire!”

Luo Feng effortlessly led Bing Ruolan in executing the first three movements of the Roaring Tiger Fist.

Both of them were very much in-sync after dueling with each other for so long. The two of them combined seemed like a single person when they executed the fist technique.

Bing Ruolan assumed that it was over once they had finished executing the first three moves. However, she suddenly felt as though her body had become lighter.

When Luo Feng stepped on the ground, four transparent Qi Dragons soared into the sky and immediately lifted them up.

“This is… This is the Level Four Roaring Tiger Fist!”

Bing Ruolan was briefly stunned, but she instantly reacted after that. An emotional glow twinkled in her eyes.

Whoosh!

The Qi Dragon tossed and turned while Luo Feng immediately brought Bing Ruolan higher into the sky. Once they were almost one hundred feet from the ground, the aura around Luo Feng’s entire body suddenly changed. His aura was extremely intimidating because it resembled an unsheathed blade. Bing Ruolan could not help but secretly shiver because of it.

“The most important part of the Roaring Tiger Fist is your aura. Since the tiger rules over all the other creatures, they only need to open their mouths and roar to cause the stars to fall from the sky and shake the hills. Nothing can withstand the tiger when it tramples over them.”

“You mustn’t hesitate at all when you’re throwing punches. Instead, you should imagine yourself as a sharp blade that boldly presses forward without any fear of being defeated. Only then will you be able to unleash the Roaring Tiger Fist’s true power!”

Luo Feng’s voice continuously echoed, and every word made Bing Ruolan feel a sense of relief.

Once he finished explaining, the explosion-like feeling inside Luo Feng’s body had turned into a fiery flame that burned there. Luo Feng unconsciously uttered a long cry because he was trying to get rid of that sensation.

“Watch out! Ferocious Tiger Abandons Valley!”

Whoosh!

Luo Feng took Bing Ruolan with him. His figure moved backward before he unexpectedly fell.

The pair kept moving faster before they violently spun and formed an air current in midair that was shaped like a cyclone! From afar, they looked like a shooting star that was chasing after the moon. Their auras instantly disappeared when the “shooting star” finally landed on the ground.

Boom!

The two figures violently crashed on the ground and formed air streams that were several feet high. The entire courtyard instantly caved in and fell into a deep pit while the area within a radius of several miles furiously shook.

“What was that? What happened?”

Whoosh, whoosh…

Silver Moon Class’s students rushed out from the nearby courtyards. They were stunned when they looked at their surroundings. The students were clearly startled by the quakes that occurred.

“Someone is probably cultivating an extremely powerful martial arts skill.” Some of the students were merely guessing because they had yet to discover anything.

“Tch, why are they making so much noise? The geniuses from Golden Sun Class were definitely the ones who caused it. I wonder what kind of powerful martial arts skills they were cultivating…”

“It looks like this year’s Roaming King Tournament is going to be interesting. I wonder if there will be any changes among the rankings of the top ten Roaming Kings. I hope our class representative manages to place among the top ten this year…”

The crowd chatted and made guesses about the terrifying tremors that happened earlier.

In the courtyard, Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan looked at the ruined area. They were rendered speechless from shock.

Both of them were in the middle of a gigantic pit that had a radius of thirty-three feet that was caused when the ground of the courtyard caved in.

“This is the force of the Level Four Roaring Tiger Fist! No wonder it could rival a Yellow Rank Upper Class martial arts,” Bing Ruolan exclaimed before she took a deep breath.

“This powerful skill is considered an excellent move among the Yellow Rank Upper Class martial arts.” Luo Feng nodded.

Bing Ruolan was about to agree before a stunned look suddenly appeared in her eyes. An excited flush appeared on her smooth, beautiful face before she raised her head, turned to Luo Feng and asked, “Luo Feng, could you keep watch for me?”

Luo Feng’s gaze faintly flickered when he turned around and glanced at her. “Are you about to advance?”

Her entire body resembled a surging wave that endlessly tossed and turned while her vitality stirred without stopping at all. She had obviously reached the crucial moment where she was about to advance.

The girl continued to blush while she nodded. Bing Ruolan was clearly extremely touched. “Your previous explanations managed to destroy the shackles in my heart that were restraining me all this while. I think that I can advance to the Fifth Meridian Cycle tonight! I’ll be able to enter the Level Five Iron Bone Boundary!”

“Alright, I’ll protect you.” Luo Feng nodded. He was very happy to hear this.

This opportunity could not be wasted. Bing Ruolan gratefully glanced at Luo Feng before she immediately sat cross-legged and used all of her strength to advance past the boundary.

Luo Feng faintly sighed when he noticed that Bing Ruolan had entered that state. His eyes scanned past his skin that was now as fine as jade before a hint of joy appeared on his face. “My skin is like jade now. I’ve entered the middle phase of the Strength Boundary!”

During the moment when Luo Feng was executing the Ferocious Tiger Abandons Valley, the remaining effects of the Tiger Energy Body Endurance Pill inside his body were finally activated. He successfully entered the middle phase of the Strength Boundary once the pill had fully entered his physical body.

‘I initially assumed that it would take nearly ten days for me to advance to the middle phase of the Strength Boundary. I never thought that I could advance beforehand just by randomly helping that girl with her cultivation. Other than those people who have achieved the Level Five Iron Bone Boundary, I don’t think that anyone else is currently a match for me!’

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up brightly while he was temporarily filled with emotion.

Li Yunhao was one of the twenty strongest students in Golden Sun Class, but Luo Feng managed to defeat him despite that. In that case, Luo Feng was also one of the twenty strongest students now!

Luo Feng’s gaze landed on Bing Ruolan.

‘This girl managed to enter the Level Five Iron Bone Boundary today. She might have a chance to enter the Inner Institution if she continues to successfully cultivate the Roaring Tiger Fist. But I must work hard to make that happen.’

He shifted his gaze and sat cross-legged on the floor before he continued strengthening his boundary.

The night passed.

In the morning, Luo Feng’s eyes shot open before he glanced at Bing Ruolan who was beside him.

Shrouds of mist curled around Bing Ruolan’s entire body while her uniform from the institution was soaked through. A series of trembling noises constantly echoed from the inside of her body while a noise that resembled flowing waves could be faintly heard as well.

“You’re going to advance!”

Luo Feng’s gaze lit up as he began to carefully observe Bing Ruolan. He would be able to advance more smoothly in the future if he learned from the experiences of others when they advanced past their boundaries.

Fifteen minutes later, Bing Ruolan’s body suddenly quivered before a drawn-out drumming noise rang out from the inside of her body. Crashing noises could be heard after that. Those noises went on for a long time and resembled the sound of thunder.

“That’s the thunderous noise of bone-breaking! Class representative, congratulations on successfully entering the Level Five Meridian Cycle, the Iron Bone Boundary!” Luo Feng smiled and said.

Bing Ruolan’s eyes shot open before a joyful and emotional look stirred in her enchanting blue eyes.

She had finally advanced to the Level Five Iron Bone Boundary. Bing Ruolan’s strength had also greatly increased because she managed to cultivate the Roaring Tiger Fist to Level Four. There was currently a seventy percent chance that she could enter the Inner Institution.

When Bing Ruolan raised her head and saw the youth’s handsome face, she bit her red lips and cried tears of joy. “Luo Feng, thank you, thank you, thank you…”

Luo Feng anxiously scratched his head. “Hey, why are you crying again?”

“I’m so happy! I initially assumed that it would take at least three more months for me to advance to the Level Five Iron Bone Boundary. I would have had to leave the institution by then. I…”

Bing Ruolan smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. She felt so touched that she stood up from the ground and looked at Luo Feng as she asked, “Luo Feng, how should I thank you?”

Luo Feng shook his head before he fixed his gaze on Bing Ruolan and smiled. “It’s fine. While I was helping you with your cultivation this time, I managed to get something as well. I’ve advanced to the middle phase of the strength boundary.”

A smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face when he briefly looked at Bing Ruolan from top to bottom.

The girl’s hair was slick with sweat because she had recently advanced to the next boundary. She seemed delicate and pretty. In a way, this was an unexpected reward for Luo Feng because he was able to view such a beautiful sight the first thing in the morning.

Bing Ruolan returned to her senses when she noticed that Luo Feng was staring at her. When she remembered her current situation, she was certain that she looked extremely messy. Her expression was a mix of embarrassment and anger when she furiously said, “Turn around! You’re not allowed to look back. Otherwise… Otherwise, I’m going to ignore you!”

“Alright, I won’t turn around.”

This seemed very strange to Luo Feng, but he immediately turned his body away without asking any more questions.

A series of rustling noises echoed behind him before Bing Ruolan’s voice quickly rang out again.

“I’m done.”

Luo Feng turned around and noticed that Bing Ruolan had already changed into a clean set of clothes while her short, light blue-colored hair was straight and tidy.

“How did you do that?” He had just taken three or four breaths from the time he turned around.

“I used this thing, of course.”

Bing Ruolan’s beautiful face was still flushed. She sweetly smiled before she pulled up her sleeve and exposed her smooth pale wrist that resembled a lotus root.

The girl wore a blue-colored bracelet on her wrist. The sparkling bracelet gave off a bright glow that highlighted Bing Ruolan’s jade-like skin and made it seem as white as snow.

When Bing Ruolan stroked the jade bracelet with her finger, a longsword suddenly appeared in her hand. Auspicious clouds were carved on the sheath of the sword. This was the Feather Cloud Sword that previously belonged to Li Yunhao!

“A Storage Soul Artifact!” Luo Feng held his breath for a while before he looked at Bing Ruolan in shock. “Class representative, who exactly are you?”

The Storage Soul Artifact could form its own space that had the ability to keep items. It was also extremely convenient because it could simply be carried along. Thus, it was very useful to martial artists.

However, these Storage Soul Artifacts were very precious. Although Purple Sun Institution had a higher status as one of the four great institutions in Flowing Cloud Ridge, the director was the only person in the entire institution who possessed a Storage Soul Artifact.

Luo Feng was terribly shocked because he never thought that Bing Ruolan would also have a Storage Soul Artifact.

When Bing Ruolan noticed the uncertain look on his face, she lowered her eyelids. She sounded rather troubled when she said, “Luo Feng, is it okay if I explain this to you next time?”

He nodded and dropped the subject.

Bing Ruolan clearly trusted him very much because she had openly shown him her Storage Soul Artifact without feeling offended at all.

This girl definitely held an important status if she possessed a Storage Soul Artifact. However, this had nothing to do with Luo Feng.

When she noticed that Luo Feng did not pursue the topic, Bing Ruolan sighed in relief. Her gaze shifted before she asked, “Luo Feng, weren’t you going to Green Edge Town? What exactly are you going to do there?”
