But Ling Feng also discovered that although the pollen wasnât life-threatening, it could affect everyoneâs performance. Many Martial Dao students, although they didnât fall immediately, stumbled as they ran forward and were prone to accidents. If they encountered the Alien Demon Beast, they wouldnât be able to last a few rounds.
On this highly competitive and perilous Asura Island, the three of Ling Feng had no time to look after others. Their only goal was to reach the top of Asura Peak as quickly as possible, pass this round of examination, and stay away from trouble.
With this intention, the three were getting closer and closer to Asura Peak.
On the way, they also encountered two groups of Alien Demon Beasts.
They were all minor demons.
They even encountered a man-eating vine.
Fortunately, the damage was not severe. A single person, using only Dharma Power, could shatter the vine to pieces. On the whole journey, although thrilling, it was without danger, and finally, after two days, they reached the bottom of Asura Peak.
"Someoneâs up there."
"Liu Yang!"
The three saw a figure on a small path leading to the pinnacle. The figure moved with the lightness of a swallow, sprinting toward the top.
Lin Chunchi recognized the person and couldnât help but recite.
"Is he Liu Yang?"
Liu Chuan was full of surprise.
"Do you know him?"
Ling Feng looked at the figure and found that, like Liu Bayuan, the personâs body technique could stir the Power of Heaven and Earth, making his feet light as a swallow, striding swiftly up the steep mountain path.
"One of Guangjing Provinceâs strongest Martial Dao students, like Liu Bayuan, both are direct lineage members of the Liu Family."
Lin Chunchi explained.
"This... he wouldnât give us trouble, would he? Iâve heard that members of big families arenât united and that the younger generations and the elders are both openly and secretly competing. He couldnât be Liu Bayuanâs actual brother!"
Ling Feng asked.
"Cousins."
Lin Chunchi replied.
"Letâs not overthink; once we reach the summit and successfully enter the sixth round, even if he wants to trouble us, we neednât fear him."
Liu Chuan said.
"Right, the three of us together might not be a match for him."
Lin Chunchi agreed.
Ling Feng was surprised; even though Lin Chunchi, as a top-line Martial Dao student, was polite to him, inherently, he was very proud. Unexpectedly, his words were full of admiration for Liu Yang, thinking that even if the three of them teamed up, they might not be a match for him.
Ling Feng attempted to sense the opponentâs strength, but the distance was too great. He could only estimate from the body technique that the opponent was much stronger than Liu Bayuan.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from above.
On the cliff, six blood hawks swooped down, diving toward Liu Yang.
Although Ling Feng couldnât sense Liu Yangâs energy fluctuations from afar, he could clearly see Liu Yang, who was moving swiftly through the cliff as if oblivious to the six blood hawks diving down from above. He continued charging toward the summit, unbothered.
His speed didnât decrease.
His body technique was elegant.
There was as much grace as there was style.
The three were on tenterhooks for him; if he didnât pull off the act well, he could be torn to pieces by the blood hawks or fall off the cliff. At such a height, even with an eight-layer Dharma perfection, he would be reduced to dust.
"Howl!"
In the end, they saw a cold light flash past the cliff.
Like a Sword Shadow, it simultaneously drew in the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth, enveloping the six blood hawks diving down simultaneously. They saw the six blood hawks lose balance and fall from the sky, blood scattering across the skies, and with several thuds, they landed on the rocks below, turning into lumps of meat paste.
Liu Yang continued striding toward the summit without looking back, showing no sign of slowing down.
On the cliff, many blood hawks poking their heads out saw this scene and quickly pulled their heads back, hiding in the rock caves. No blood hawk dared to sneak an attack or stop Liu Yangâs footsteps.
Ling Feng, Liu Chuan, and Lin Chunchi, mouths slightly open, looked at Liu Yangâs figure soaring into the sky, feeling an insurmountable shock in their hearts.
They had to admit, Liu Yang was a cut above, deserving to be one of Guangjing Provinceâs strongest Martial Dao students. Such a person, even if not necessarily Qin Qianyuâs match, has the qualification to enter the finals and face off against Qin Qianyu.
