Luo Feng: "…"
Crouching Dog Zhuge?
He suddenly regretted adding a drop of dragon's blood when he was made. After all, everyone knew that dragons were inherently …
Through the balcony, they could see Angel Yan hugging her knees, resting her chin on them. She was looking into the distance, quietly enjoying the beauty of this moment.
Wolong was mesmerized.
Sima Yi glanced at her, then said in a low voice, "If you like, I can actually cosplay like her."
Luo Feng: "…"
"What's there to cosplay?" Wolong Zhuge rolled his eyes. "Nice to look at, but useless."
Luo Feng patted Wolong Zhuge's shoulder. "Wolong, Yan is an angel. Angels are a noble race, and they pay a lot of attention to genetic compatibility. So, if you want to attract her attention, you have to make yourself outstanding first."
Wolong Zhuge was indignant. "But my race is also very outstanding!"
Luo Feng: "What race are you?"
Wolong Zhuge's face reddened. "Zu An."
Luo Feng: "…"
He shrugged. "Alright, I was wrong. It should be your grade. You're silver, and she's platinum. If you want her to appreciate you, you have to be at least of the same rank, right?"
"Okay." Wolong Zhuge suddenly had a direction, and his fighting spirit rose.
The spring breeze of reform was everywhere. Wolong had to work hard in the future!
Luo Feng's face revealed a fatherly smile. If you all have to work hard, why should I work so hard?
"Yeah."
Sima Yi's voice was faint. "Holy One disappears all day long, and you're lying in bed all day long. Are you really a crouching dragon?"
"So what? He's working so hard, but isn't he still a Silver Rank?" Wolong and Zhuge complained.
At this moment, an ordinary silver card, Sheng Yi, passed by. Hearing these words, he seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not say anything and quickly left.
Luo Feng smiled. Counting his feet, it seemed that the competition with Deputy Commander Xia Qiuming was getting closer and closer.
He lowered his head and felt the surging astral energy in his body. Then, he slowly placed his hand on Wolong and chuckled.
Hopefully, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone and become a commander.
Even if it wasn't for the appointment with Emperor Yan as the Chief Pavilion Master, he still wanted to climb up the ladder. After all, the feeling of being below others and following in their footsteps was really unpleasant.
This didn't seem like a holy land.
In the Holy Land, the top four, the top eight, and the top sixteen were only slightly different in terms of reputation, but in terms of status, there was no essential difference.
But in this place, if one was one level lower than the other, they could only kneel down like dogs.
…
The competition between Luo Feng and Xia Qiuming caused quite a stir in the Wind Pavilion. Although they were already used to such challenges, the target of the challenge this time was completely different from usual.
Luo Feng's identity as the champion of the Saint Land level attracted a lot of attention.
Not only the entire Fufeng Region, but even the Star Card masters under the other two commanders were full of anticipation for this match.
After all, they all wanted to see with their own eyes how outstanding this year's Holy Land champion was.
"I don't think it will work. Luo Feng is only at the initial two star level, while Xia Qiuming is already at the advanced three star level. Rounding it up, the difference between the two is almost two stars."
"If Luo Feng can reach the three star level this month, there is indeed a possibility, but breaking through to the one star level in a month is impossible even with a pile of resources, right?"
"Yeah, it's said that the current top geniuses Zhou Sheng and Jiang Yan needed at least three months to break through to the one star level. Given their status, they obviously won't lack resources."
"Let's wait and see. I feel that since he's the Holy Land champion, there must be something extraordinary about him."
"…"
To most people, it was not important who won or lost.
What they were looking forward to was a spectacular match that would satisfy their craving for the eyes. That was all.
Amidst the heated discussions, the highly anticipated Challenger Competition finally arrived as scheduled.
Fufeng Region, the martial arts arena.
There was a giant platform not far from the governor's residence. It was the martial arts arena.
The match was to be held here.
In the past, very few people came to the martial arts arena, but it had now become the most lively place in the entire Fufeng Region.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Figure after figure on flying mounts whizzed over from all directions, filling the place to the brim.
Two figures walked out from the governor's residence at this moment. They were Yan Que and Xia Qiuming.
Yan Que frowned slightly as he looked at the martial arts arena that was packed to the brim. He said, "Why are there so many people today?"
Indeed, half of these Star Card Masters were unfamiliar to him.
"Of course, it's all thanks to the reputation of our champion."
Xia Qiuming's red lips curled slightly. In the past, this kind of challenge match that was held once a month would only have some influence within the county. If it was not for Luo Feng, how would it be worth the travel worn out Star Card Masters from other counties to rush over?
"The higher one is praised, the worse one will fall. If he loses today, he should be much quieter in the future."
Yan Que raised his eyebrows and said, "Qiuming, I heard that this person specializes in tricks and is used to using tricks to make up for the difference in cultivation level. Therefore, you must not be careless. It's best to choose a 3v3, or even a 1v1."
"Therefore, you must not be careless. This fellow is very cunning. Be careful not to fail miserably."
"Commander, don't worry. Although I do not place him in my eyes, that is only in terms of strategy." Xia Qiuming crossed her arms in front of her chest, a look of disdain on her face as she said, "In terms of strategy, I still place great importance on it."
While the two of them were talking, a commotion suddenly sounded from around the martial arts arena. Numerous gazes were cast towards the southwest corner at this moment.
Two figures walked out from there. The man was spirited and handsome, while the woman was gentle and lovely. They were Luo Feng and Chu Man.
Today, Chu Man was wearing a long black dress that outlined her alluring curves. Her legs were long and slender, while her waist was slim. Her beautiful eyes contained a gentle and reserved look.
"I also want to have such a master and father." Someone in the crowd sighed, his eyes burning with desire.
"Yeah, who wouldn't like a master and father with fair skin, beautiful looks, and long legs?"
"Although I'm ugly, I'm dreaming!"
The others also hurriedly chimed in.
Someone sneered, "Tch, has the peach ripened so quickly this year?"
Chu Man frowned slightly as she gazed at the black mass of figures. If Luo Feng did not perform well today, it would not be long before this matter would be spread to the entire Di Ju Pavilion under the influence of people with ulterior motives.
When that happened, who knew how much ridicule Luo Feng would attract.
"That's right, I like this kind of big scene."
Luo Feng looked at this scene and twisted his waist. Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking all over his body, he let out a long breath.
"Today is the day that I, Luo Feng, will become famous and shake the Wind Pavilion!"
At this moment, Yan Que walked to the side of the martial arts arena and indifferently said, "Today, deputy commander Luo Feng will challenge deputy commander Xia Qiuming."
"Now, may I invite the two deputy commanders onto the martial arts arena."
Under numerous gazes, the two walked towards the martial arts arena.
Just as Xia Qiuming passed by Chu Man, her footsteps suddenly stopped. Her beautiful eyes looked at the latter playfully, and she said, "You were defeated by me in the past, and now you want your disciple to regain your face?"
"Don't blame me if I accidentally shatter your disciple's self-esteem."
Chu Man's eyes drooped slightly as she said, "Don't underestimate him. When you truly face him, you will know what kind of existence he is."
"Oh, I'm so scared." Xia Qiuming chuckled before walking towards the martial arts arena.
At this moment, Yan Que indifferently said, "Let's begin."
The atmosphere in the square immediately tensed up after these words sounded out. Numerous gazes from the surroundings also began to gather towards them.
On the martial arts arena.
"They all say you're very strong."
Xia Qiuming crossed her arms as she lazily looked at Luo Feng with a smile that was not a smile. "Today, I want to see what's so special about you."
Luo Feng smiled at her and said, "There's nothing special about me, only …"
Xia Qiuming twirled several Star Card in her hand as she said, "How do you want to fight? 3v3, do you dare?"
Luo Feng did not reply.
Seeing his expression, Xia Qiuming's interest waned as she sighed, "I don't think you dare."
"After all, what you're best at is winning through tricks. How would you dare to neglect the fundamentals and choose a 3v3 that has a low chance of winning, am I right?"
"Disciple, you must not fall for it."
Chu Man's brows slightly furrowed. The choice of competition method depended on the challenger. Hence, Xia Qiuming was clearly trying to provoke Luo Feng into giving up on the 5v5.
Luo Feng's eyes flickered in thought for a moment before he said, "Since deputy director Xia likes a shorter format, why don't we have a 1v1?"
Xia Qiuming was also stunned when she heard that. She said, "Are you serious?"
Luo Feng replied, "I don't need to use tricks to deal with you."
Xia Qiuming immediately flew into a rage. She stared at Luo Feng as she gritted her teeth and said, "What big words, have you eaten garlic?!"
"I've roughly watched all of your matches. It seems that you've never fought a 1v1 before entering the Wind Pavilion.
"What, are you addicted to it? Did defeating Lin Xuan make you feel that you're invincible in a 1v1?
"Do you really think someone like Lin Xuan can compare to me?!"
Luo Feng's eyes were indifferent as he said, "Whether I can or can't, we'll know once we try."
At this moment, Yan Que said, "Show your card."
Xia Qiuming's jade-like fingers twirled, and a Star Card shot out. Under many gazes, it transformed into a Holy Light Warrior named Gaiser.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment before he flicked his finger. A platinum card flew out and summoned Han Xin.
The only platinum cards in his hand were Han Xin and Angel Yan.
Evidently, Han Xin was more suitable for a 1v1 than Angel Yan, who needed to rely on his teammates to sacrifice to the heavens.
This Star Card of Han Xin's was invincible in one-on-one battles. It was good at both 1v1 and 5v5. As for 3v3, it was not suitable for him at all.
Because he wanted to take care of Yan Que while he was at it, he wanted to quickly end the match with Xia Qiuming. Since Han Xin was not suitable for a 3v3, a 1v1 was undoubtedly the best choice.
And Han Xin's [Last Stand] meant that the lower his HP, the higher his attack power.
Therefore, today's strategy was very simple.
First, Han Xin would wear down the opponent's Holy Light Warrior. When Han Xin's HP was low, he would stack his attack power. Then, he would backstab the opponent and finish him off.
There was no strategy in a 1v1. It depended on the individual operation of the Star Card.
Luo Feng looked at Han Xin and said, "What do you think? Are you confident?"
There seemed to be a raging fire in Han Xin's eyes. He pointed the end of the Star Spear at the ground and said, "My spear is here!"
Yan Que said, "Begin."
Boom!
As soon as he said that, an astonishing amount of astral energy suddenly burst out from the Holy Light Warrior. The astral energy was like a column of smoke, majestic and mighty, soaring into the sky.
An astonishing amount of astral energy was emitted from his body, enveloping Han Xin like the weight of a mountain.
Sensing the pressure, the other Star Card Masters around were also slightly solemn. Xia Qiuming was indeed capable to be able to hold the position of Deputy Commander. With such a vigorous amount of astral energy, she was probably at the peak of three star.
Luo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He pretended to be cautious, but he was actually relieved. She hadn't broken through to the four-star level, so it wasn't a big problem.
"I've inquired about Jiang Yan and Zhou Sheng. For geniuses like them, it took them nearly three months to break through from two-star to three star. Even if this Luo Feng is a little more talented than him, he can only reach the late two-star level in one month at most." Xia Qiuming curled her lips and said, "Holy Light Warrior, take him down in one attack."
"A mere two-star?
How unsightly. "
The Holy Light Warrior curled his lips and said, "You dare to come on the stage with such strength? Do you really have any confidence?"
Han Xin said, "If you don't have any confidence, how can you be so ridiculous?"
The audience said, "Got it."
"You!" The Holy Light Warrior's eyes were full of coldness. He roared angrily, "Holy Light Fist!"
As soon as he said that, his body shot out like a cheetah. He clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched heavily at Han Xin.
He didn't hold back at all in this punch. The surface of his fist was entwined with astral energy. The power of the punch even caused the sound of wind breaking.
It was fierce and domineering. It couldn't be underestimated.
Someone on the side asked curiously, "Why do Star Card Masters have to shout when they use their skills?"
Another person said, "It's more exciting to shout. It's so imposing. If you shout louder, you may be able to overwhelm the opponent."
"Of course, it's not just for fighting. No matter what … it's more exciting to shout louder, right?"
"That makes sense," another person said.
At the same time, Han Xin stood still and watched quietly.
