Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Is Brother Lu deliberately going easy on me? No! He's testing the limits of my physical strength...!"

Seeing that Lu Feng did not take the opportunity to retaliate, and did not use any Yuan power or martial arts at all, Wu Yunran was slightly surprised at first, and then her pupils shrank sharply, as if she understood something in an instant.

After all, even Wu Lin, who came from the West Academy and whose cultivation had reached the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, could not withstand a single punch from Lu Feng, let alone Wu Yunran, who had just broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

As Wu Yunran had predicted, Lu Feng was not using his full strength at the moment, partly out of consideration for their past relationship, and partly to test the limits of his physical strength.

Otherwise, even if Lu Feng didn't use his Yuan Power and martial arts, Wu Yunran wouldn't last ten seconds and would be eliminated on the spot!

"Brother Wu, being distracted in battle can be fatal...!"

Just as Wu Yunran was distracted, he heard Lu Feng's cold and stern voice coming from behind him again.

Swish!

The next moment, Lu Feng appeared like a ghost, landing behind Wu Yunran. At the same time, he turned his right hand into a fist and slammed it into the opponent's vital chest, creating a gust of wind!

"not good!"

At this critical moment, Wu Yunran's face also changed drastically. He immediately pushed his dantian energy to its limit, transforming it into protective barriers. At the same time, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, intending to block Lu Feng's powerful punch.

Although he was born in the southern barbarian lands and his physical body was slightly stronger than that of ordinary martial artists from the outside world, he was still far inferior to Lu Feng in front of him!

Moreover, the difference in strength between Wu Yunran and Lu Feng is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

Therefore, he dared not withstand Lu Feng's full-force punch with his bare body. He also needed to rely on Yuan energy to protect his body, otherwise he would most likely die!

Boom! Pfft...!

With a loud explosion, a cloud of dust billowed up around the arena. Wu Yunran coughed up blood and retreated violently until he finally collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.

Click...!

Wu Yunran's face was pale. The next moment, he slowly struggled to get up. At this moment, his body was wrapped in huge gray-black and white rocks. However, the surface of these rocks was exposed with a lot of spider web-like cracks, as if they would completely collapse at any second!

"A spirit body protecting its master, with rocky aura like a blade? As expected of an innate spirit body, it certainly has some skill..."

Seeing this, Lu Feng also raised his eyebrows slightly, lost in thought.

Clearly, Wu Yunran's ability to get up again and survive is entirely due to his awakened Rock Thousand Blade Body.

"Brother Wu, your strength has indeed improved considerably compared to three months ago. It seems that Elder Yin Baili of the Punishment Hall has been providing you with a great deal of guidance during this time..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng grinned again and looked at Wu Yunran, who was weak and agitated, not far away.

At this moment, he finally understood why, in the cultivation world of the Misty Continent, the innate spiritual body had become synonymous with most geniuses and prodigies.

After all, even Wu Lin, who was at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, couldn't withstand a single punch from him, while Wu Yunran, who was only at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm, could withstand a punch from him head-on without falling down, which was enough to show the power of the innate spiritual body.

"Hmm, even though I tried my best, and even used the Rock Thousand Blade Body, I could only barely block one punch from Brother Lu...!"

"It seems that with my current strength, I'm not capable of going any further in this year's academy competition; I can only stop here..."

Faced with Lu Feng's praise, Wu Yunran showed no arrogance whatsoever. Instead, her face grew even paler and more solemn, and her fighting spirit diminished considerably.

After all, Lu Feng didn't use a single bit of Yuan Power or martial arts the whole time, while he used all his methods, even summoning his innate spiritual body, yet he still couldn't even scratch the surface of the former!

Therefore, it is clear that the outcome of this battle was already decided; he was destined to lose!

"Brother Lu, you flatter me. Compared to my meager progress, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds. You are in no way inferior to those senior students from the South Campus. I have lost this battle...!"

Thinking of this, Wu Yunran felt somewhat relieved. He immediately dispersed his Yuan Power and the Rock Thousand Blade Body, and bowed to admit defeat.

"Brother Wu, you flatter me."

Seeing that Wu Yunran had voluntarily admitted defeat, Lu Feng merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment and said nothing more.

"The winner of the thirty-eighth round, Lu Feng from the North Campus!"

With Wu Yunran's unfortunate elimination, Lu Feng also successfully secured his second victory, needing only one more victory to advance to the second round of the free challenge.

However, Lu Feng's goal was not limited to this. He wanted not only to successfully advance to the second round, but also to win five consecutive games and get that extra contribution point reward!

"There are still three matches to go, I wonder if I'll draw an opponent from the South Campus..."

On the stage, Lu Feng stretched and yawned, thinking to himself.

With his current strength, he is enough to sweep through the entire North Campus. As for most of the West Campus students, they are no match for Lu Feng. Only those old hands from the South Campus can slightly hinder Lu Feng's path to advancement.

However, although Lu Feng really wanted to fight the students from the South Academy, the opponents he encountered in the next three matches were all of average strength. Two of them were from the West Academy and one was from the North Academy, and their cultivation levels were all below the Spirit Soul Realm. They were defeated on the spot and could hardly last three moves against Lu Feng.

Lu Feng unsurprisingly advanced smoothly to the second round of the free challenge, and also got a free contribution point reward.

"The reward for a five-game winning streak is 50,000 contribution points? Today wasn't a wasted trip after all!"

Lu Feng glanced at the 50,000 contribution points that had just arrived in his account, and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

After all, 50,000 contribution points is not a small amount. It is enough to buy a seventh-grade spiritual treasure. Even if all of them are exchanged for mid-grade spirit stones, there will still be 50,000 of them. It can be said to be a huge profit!

Meanwhile, outside the training ground

"How is this possible?! In just six months, this kid's strength has improved to such an extent that even the students from the West Campus are no match for him!"

Looking at Lu Feng, who was in high spirits and winning battle after battle on the stage not far away, Yun Haoxuan, who was squeezed into a corner of the crowd, was also shocked and looked astonished, as if he had seen a ghost.

It should be noted that he and Lu Feng were newcomers who joined the North Academy together back then, but now, only half a year has passed, and the latter's strength has left him far behind, a world apart!

Thinking of this, Yun Haoxuan's face grew increasingly grim, and a sense of frustration and irritation welled up within him.

After all, he was once a prodigy ranked eighteenth on the Hidden Dragon List of the Four Kingdoms of Lingnan, while Lu Feng was just an unknown rogue cultivator. The two were almost not on the same level.

Now, Lu Feng has not only surpassed him in strength, but also crushed him in this year's academy competition. He won five consecutive matches and was completely at ease throughout, just like a great demon king who accidentally entered a newbie village. He either crushed him or dominated him!

On the other hand, Yun Haoxuan was extremely unlucky. In the very first match, he drew an opponent from the South Academy and was eliminated without any chance to fight back. His overall performance was even worse than that of Wu Yunran, who had just been defeated by Lu Feng.

With the two compared, Yun Haoxuan, who has always been very proud, naturally couldn't hold back.

"Could it be that I, this young master, am truly inferior to Lu Feng?!"

"No! This is impossible! I am a direct descendant of the number one family in Dongyun Kingdom, a genius. How could I possibly be inferior to a mere unknown rogue cultivator...!"

Yun Haoxuan was filled with inner turmoil, muttering to himself as if he were deeply mired in self-doubt.

"Lu Feng, so this is the source of your confidence in facing the Five Spirits Society's threat...!"

On the other side of the crowd, Lu Xiaoxiang, who was also watching the battle, was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, she finally understood why Lu Feng dared to ignore the threat of the Five Spirits Society and even publicly challenge Cheng Xuyuan, Xu Tianlong's sworn brother, to a life-or-death duel. It turned out that the other party was not acting on impulse, but had real strength!
