“The increase in my spiritual power not only strengthened the quality of my body but also allowed me to have an unusually sharp perception and quick reaction speed!”

Luo Feng was elated when he looked at Yang Ting, whose face was covered in blood.

He had actually defeated Yang Ting, who was at Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary!

Earlier when Yang Ting volunteered to challenge him, Luo Feng was confident that they were probably equal since he possessed four meridian cycles, and had a force of nearly 550 pounds. Worst case scenario, Luo Feng would only be pushed a few steps back.

However, the result was beyond Luo Feng’s expectations.

Luo Feng was shocked when Yang Ting used his martial arts, but when he focused on Yang Ting’s movements that were apparently quick to the others, Luo Feng noticed that they actually seemed very slow to him. In the end, Luo Feng found a window, and defeated Yang Ting with one hit!

“Wow!”

A brief moment of silence later, the students of Silver Moon Class clamored.

“Unbelievable! Did I see the wrong person? The person who was defeated is actually Yang Ting!”

“You saw it right, Luo Feng won, and he won with just one hit! Tsk, tsk, looks like he really broke through.”

“That’s strange. Both of them used Ground Class martial arts, and Yang Ting broke through earlier than Luo Feng. Theoretically, Yang Ting’s cultivation base is higher than Luo Feng’s, what’s going on…”

Eventually, the scene became noisier.

The other people initially thought that Luo Feng’s strength was more inferior than Yang Ting’s, hence were stunned by the outcome.

Ji Wuyue was the only one who squinted her eyes at Luo Feng and scanned him with her black eyes.

“The timing and speed of Yang Ting’s Fang Fist was definitely more superior, yet Luo Feng managed to find its flaw, and defeated Yang Ting with one hit!”

Ji Wuyue raised her brows.

The fact that Luo Feng was able to catch that sudden change, and turned the battle’s tide proved that his control over his judgment and timing surpassed the standard of one at Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary. If that was Luo Feng’s scheme all along, it was horrifying.

“Was it just a coincidence?”

Ji Wuyue was unsure.

Among the 500 students in Silver Moon Class, more than 400 of them had activated their Third Meridian Cycle, and Luo Feng was one of the bottom ones in class. Even though he had just succeeded in activating the Third Meridian Cycle, it was impossible for his strength to have advanced by leaps and bounds so quickly.

“Mentor! He cheated!”

A yell was heard, and Lin Hui was seen walking out of the crowd angrily. He helped Yang Ting up, then pointed at Luo Feng. “Mentor, Luo Feng violated your rule, he used martial arts. He must be punished!”

Lin Hui then stared fiercely at the students behind them.

Students whose eyes met Lin Hui’s were so timid that they could only echo his words.

He was known to be ruthless and had become more unrestrained after Lin Xiaoxiao got closer to Duanmu Yu, an elite student from the Inner Institution. Therefore, many students were terrified of him.

All of a sudden, Ji Wuyue launched her fist at the martial arts dummy beside her.

“Dang!!”

The instant her fist hit the dummy’s head, its stainless steel face flattened. On top of that, the sound of the hit was so resonant that the students looked at Ji Wuyue in shock.

“Which one of you heard me say that they can’t use martial arts?”

Ji Wuyue looked at every student with her sharp eyes, whose faces were all pale. When the students looked at the dummy’s face that was now flat, they immediately shook their heads.

“Very well!”

Ji Wuyue smiled as she was satisfied with the response. She clapped her hands together, then pointed at two students. “You, and you, carry Yang Ting down.”

“Where do we carry him to?” The two students trembled as they stood up.

“Up to you, as long as I don’t see him anymore!” Ji Wuyue replied in an intimidating tone.

“Yes! Yes!” The two students shivered. While they sighed to themselves for being so unlucky, they also cursed Yang Ting for dragging them into this.

If it was not for Yang Ting using martial arts, Ji Wuyue would not have been enraged, and the two students would not have been involved.

Followed by that, the two students jogged over to Yang Ting and carried him on their shoulders. Unbothered by Yang Ting’s groans, they left as fast as they could, afraid that Ji Wuyue was going to punch them with her rock-hard fist.

“Hmph!” Ji Wuyue scoffed as she watched Yang Ting being carried away.

When she turned to look at Luo Feng, she spoke gently, “Luo Feng, congratulations for activating the Third Meridian Cycle.”

Since Luo Feng was able to defeat Yang Ting who was at Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary with one hit, it was proven that he broke through. From the bottom of her heart, Ji Wuyue was happy for him.

Back then, Ji Wuyue used to be a Silver Moon Class student, and her innate talent was not outstanding either. She understood very well the feeling of being belittled by others.

Ji Wuyue later retrieved a porcelain bottle and gave it to Luo Feng. She gave him a friendly smile.

“This Vitality Condensation Pill is a gift from me. You must continue your cultivation, and try your best to get into the Inner Institution. Make Silver Moon Class proud!”

Ji Wuyue felt guilty for doubting her student earlier, thus she wanted to compensate Luo Feng by gifting him a Vitality Condensation Pill.

Luo Feng was delighted when he received the porcelain bottle. The Vitality Condensation Pill was a timely help since he happened to lack cultivation resources at the moment.

“Thank you, Mentor!” Luo Feng thanked her, then returned to his position.

The other students were envious of him.

A Vitality Condensation Pill cost hundreds of taels of silver, which was obviously not a small amount for students like them.

“Lin Hui, do you have anything else to say?” Ji Wuyue asked coldly when she saw Lin Hui still standing there.

Lin Hui shook a little upon hearing her. He gritted his teeth. “Nothing.”

His body continued to quiver when he returned to his spot, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Lin Hui had never felt so humiliated!

He dared not blame Ji Wuyue, hence his resentment was only toward Luo Feng.

“Swoosh!”

Lin Hui found Luo Feng amidst the crowd, then glared mercilessly at him with bloodshot eyes.

Luo Feng was totally oblivious. At the moment, he was only thinking about achieving Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary after class.

Since Luo Feng’s force was already 550 pounds when he was not actually at Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary, he was eager to find out his strength level when he actually entered Level Three Meridian Cycle Boundary.

After the short event, the class continued. Ji Wuyue stated, “Most of you have activated the Third Meridian Cycle. Your assessment to enter the Inner Institution will take place soon, I’ll be teaching you Roaring Tiger Fist today!”

“Wow!”

The students exclaimed as soon as Ji Wuyue finished speaking.

“I heard that Roaring Tiger Fist is a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial art!”

“That’s right, Roaring Tiger Fist is indeed a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial art. It’s violent and powerful, and I heard that it’s comparable to Yellow Rank Upper Class martial art if one perfects it! Nonetheless, it’s not from the institution, I heard that Ji Wuyue chanced upon it while training outside,” someone who knew about Roaring Tiger Fist explained.

“I see.”

The other students nodded, eager to learn.

There was a huge difference between the cultivation resources of Golden Sun Class and Silver Moon Class.

Once students activated the Third Meridian Cycle, they could select a martial arts skill from the institution’s Martial Arts Hall to cultivate. That being said, Golden Sun Class students could select a Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts, but Silver Moon Class students could only select a Yellow Rank Lower Class martial arts.

Martial arts classes were important to the martial artists’ strengths as well as their cultivation speed.

The higher the martial arts class, the faster a martial artist’s cultivation speed was; such that one could display more power during battles.

Due to the different treatments, the difference in strength between Golden Sun Class students and Silver Moon Class students grew bigger.

“A Yellow Rank Middle Class martial arts!” Luo Fei’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Ji Wuyue.

Roaring Tiger Fist could be on a par with Yellow Rank Upper Class martial arts. If Luo Feng were to master it, he could definitely improve his strength!

Luo Feng was determined to learn Roaring Tiger Fist and wanted to perfect it! That way, he could activate the Fourth Meridian Cycle in a shorter period of time, allowing him to enter the Inner Institution.

He paid full attention to Ji Wuyue after taking a deep breath.

“Roaring Tiger Fist has four techniques, which are separated into four levels. I’ll only show you once, your progress in this skill depends on your comprehension.” Everyone kept quiet after hearing her.

“Watch me!”

Ji Wuyue shouted out loud. She suddenly moved like an arrow, leaping ten steps away and appearing beside a martial arts dummy. Subsequently, Ji Wuyue swung her fist.

“Raging Tiger Leaves Cave!”

“Starving Tiger Turns Head!”

“Flaming Tiger Sets Fire!”

“Ferocious Tiger Abandons Valley!”

Throughout her performance, Ji Wuyue was as fast as lightning and was as aggressive as a sudden thunderclap. Her body was like a tiger’s as she wielded her fists with ease, yet every move that she hit on the stainless steel dummy was fierce. By the time she stopped, the dummy had broken into pieces.

Everyone was left in awe by Ji Wuyue’s aura. Luo Feng was amazed that she actually broke steel into pieces with her bare hands as it required an enormous force!

Ji Wuyue announced that class was over once she was done performing Roaring Tiger Fist. She then fluttered away.

As soon as class ended, the students cheered and dispersed quickly. They began talking about where they would go to have fun together.

Students from Purple Sun Institution’s Outer Institution were very free. Apart from martial arts classes that took place once every ten days, students were free to plan their time for other activities.

That being said, Luo Feng remained at the same spot. He was recalling every move that Ji Wuyue made when she performed Roaring Tiger Fist and paid attention to every single detail.

Luo Feng was ready to leave the training ground when he was certain that he did not miss anything after revising the fist technique from beginning to end, three times.

It was then that a figure blocked his path.

Luo Feng frowned when he saw who it was. “Lin Hui, what are you doing?”

While the students around them pitied Luo Feng upon seeing Lin Hui, they hurried away in fear that there would be trouble.

Lin Hui stood with his hands behind his back. He sneered and looked at Luo Feng arrogantly. “Luo Feng, I can’t believe that trash like you actually broke through. You injured Yang Ting very badly, are you going to leave just like that?”

“Yang Ting wanted to challenge me. What does it have to do with me if he gets injured for being incompetent? You can look for Mentor if you’re not satisfied!” Luo Feng kept it short as he wanted to leave.

“Stop right there!” Lin Hui furiously attempted to grab Luo Feng’s shoulder.

Nevertheless, Luo Feng managed to dodge Lin Hui as he sensed what Lin Hui was going to do beforehand. He avoided Lin Hui’s right claw, but the sharp wind that came with it left a small cut on his shoulder.

Lin Hui had underestimated Luo Feng. After failing the first time, Lin Hui made another attempt.

“Tss, tss…”

This time, Lin Hui did not hold back at all. A claw wind was formed, accompanied by vague clinking sounds between metals. Needless to say, Luo Feng’s flesh would be battered if Lin Hui hit him!

Right then, a fragrance could be smelled, then a graceful figure appeared in front of Luo Feng.

The lady had short aqua hair, sky blue eyes that twinkled like sapphire, beautiful features, and a pair of long legs that made her look slender and elegant. She looked dreamy.

She reached her right hand out, then flicked her fingers and hit Lin Hui’s right hand. As a result, a “bam” was heard, and Lin Hui moaned as he was sent multiple steps back before he stopped.

“Bing Ruolan!” Lin Hui feared the lady in front of Luo Feng.

Bing Ruolan was Silver Moon Class’ class representative. Being in the later phase of Level Four Meridian Cycle Boundary, her strength was far above Luo Feng’s!

Luo Feng sighed a breath of relief when he saw the lady in front of him.

Although Luo Feng already knew that Bing Ruolan would make a move, he still felt chills from Lin Hui’s attack earlier.

“Lin Hui, are you aware of where we are?”

Bing Ruolan stared at Lin Hui with her sapphire eyes as she questioned him. Her voice was so soft and melodious as if a wind chime had chimed.
