As of Today?!

Even after he was released, Ling Feng could still smell a faint aroma of mushrooms lingering around him.

Exhausted, Ling Luoluo snuggled in Ling Feng's arms for a while before feeling sleepy and quickly fell asleep.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; crows fly south.

This late night was extremely difficult to endure, to the point that Ling Feng was caught in a deep dilemma.

Tossing and turning

Another sleepless night!

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, casting the shadows of the carved decorations outside the window.

After being tied up by Ling Luoluo for a whole night, Ling Feng is now suffering from backache, numbness all over his body!

In his hazy state, he could vaguely hear the bustling sounds of people coming and going on the Ancient City Street, even more lively than yesterday.

So it really is that Martial Arts Tournament?

Ling Luoluo is still resting, and Ling Feng isn't in a hurry; there will be plenty of opportunities later.

Moreover, he still has to wait for Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Ping, which will probably take some time.

He struggled to sit up and leaned against the bed.

As a result, Ling Luoluo refused to let go even while she was asleep, and Ling Feng had to use a lot of effort to pull his hand away.

He planned to read for a while first, and skillfully took out "The Perfect Lady Training Manual".

The book's contents were actually quite interesting and made a lot of sense, so Ling Feng wasn't too resistant to it.

On the contrary, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't watch it for a day!

"Ling Xin, I heard you've broken through again! An eighteen-year-old Third Order expert! That's terrifying! In the entire Chongming City, besides Mo Liyuan, you're probably the number one genius, right?"

The next morning

Bingtang Residence Lobby

A girl of about twenty years old looked at Bingtang Lingxin with a face full of surprise.

The girl's hair was tied back with a bow, leaving her naturally curly brown hair draped over her shoulders. Her pupils were like lustful gemstones, and her thick eyelashes were slightly curled, giving her an indescribable cuteness.

Bingtang Lingxin didn't reply immediately, because when her gaze swept over the crystal necklace on Nan Muya's chest, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is it Astral Mark Necklace?

Bingtang Lingxin for a moment. Earlier, Ling Feng had told her about some characteristics of the necklace and bracelet of the Destiny Sign, so she was able to recognize them now.

She used to think that the necklace Nan Muya wore was just an ordinary accessory, but now she suddenly realized something.

At the same time, as Ling Feng had hoped, she buried her necklace deep inside her chest, just in case.

Nan Muya traveled all the way from Yanjing to participate in the competition.

Originally, the Nan Family was a major ancient martial arts family in Chongming City, but for some unknown reason, they moved to the Imperial Capital to develop their careers.

I've heard it's doing quite well now, but as for the specifics, I, Bingtang Lingxin, have no idea.

Nan Muya kept saying she would protect her, but she didn't understand what was going on, so she never asked about it.

"Ling Xin, you're so strong now. If anyone bullies me, you have to protect me!"

Nan Muya was born in Chongming City and her name was given to her by the older generation. Her name was noble and poetic.

However, she has a rather easygoing personality and is easily excitable. After studying in Yanjing for so many years, she has become more and more down-to-earth and dresses very fashionably.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, with a slender figure. Her black LSO uniform, paired with black stockings, perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Ironically, despite possessing such an enviable figure, Nan Muya's waist was as slender as a willow branch, easily encircled by one hand.

"Let's go check it out! I'm going to try my best to get a good ranking this time! I'll take it back and show it to my dad who only knows how to make money!"

Nan Muya is now First Order Gene Lock Awakener, and with her identity as Astral Mark Girl, her strength should not be underestimated.

Bingtang Lingxin nodded and gave instructions to the housekeeper, as she had originally planned to take a carriage.

However, since Nan Muya rarely returned, the two of them went out on foot!

On the other side

Not only Mo Liyuan, but even Lan Chengfeng was forced to participate.

At the banquet a few days ago, Mo Liyuan announced her marriage, but Zhao Ping ended up running away with her.

Fortunately, no one knew who the new son-in-law was, so the Mu Family announced that it was just a temporary engagement, and the matter was quickly swept under the rug.

However, it was precisely because of this incident that the head of the Mu Family began to waver in his belief in the strength of the Mu Family members, and thus set forth certain rules.

All members of the Mu Family who have unlocked their Gene Lock must participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. If their performance is too poor, they will be punished according to family rules!

The old dreams are gone.

(!)

It's all messed up again!

Chaos!!

I might have repeated this a few times, please forgive me, my eyes are already blurry!

If I accidentally missed anything, please leave a comment and I'll add it!

Thank you for being there all the way!!

Chapter Sixty-Six: To this day?!

Although the requirements were somewhat demanding, they undoubtedly reassured these people.

It's one thing to be used to extravagance, but one's own cultivation cannot be neglected.

The patriarch of the Mu Family has not appeared in the world for a hundred years, and there are already rumors that the patriarch has passed away and is no longer alive.

Only a few core members of Mo Liyuan's family knew that their ancestor was still in seclusion seeking a breakthrough. If he failed, he would also turn into dust after his lifespan was exhausted.

However, if they break through to the Fifth Order, a bloodbath will surely ensue in Chongming City.

Fifth Order Gene Lock Awakener possesses a physical strength so high that even an AK cannot penetrate its defenses, and a lifespan of up to 300 years, making them no ordinary human.

The current head of the Mu Family, Mo Tianming, who is also Mo Liyuan's father, once told her and Mo Qingyu about the situation of their ancestor.

Mo Liyuan is a prodigy whom the Mu Family has not seen in hundreds of years. Her future achievements are limitless, and she may even surpass her ancestor!

However, the major families all have very deep foundations, and at most they are testing each other and will not act too recklessly.

The Lan Family has produced many elites. In addition to Lan Chengfeng reaching the late stage of the Second Order, even his younger brother Lan Five and several other family members have broken through to the Second Order.

The Lan Family is currently at its peak, but in terms of foundation and martial prowess, the Mu Family is far too powerful and remains the number one family in Chongming City, an unshakeable position!

At the Martial Arts Tournament, each of the major families will send an elder to oversee the event and maintain order. The safety of the participants is not a major concern.

However, some seemingly powerful and ethereal old men in their seventies or eighties, who appear to be of great strength and extraordinary bearing, are actually only at the Second Order cultivation, and may not even be able to defeat some of the contestants!

But they still need to help maintain order; that's the rule.

Conversely, some women and men who look only in their thirties or forties may actually be over a hundred years old. They have deep and far-reaching eyes, radiate intelligence, and possess an extraordinary demeanor that inspires awe.

Of course, these are all Third Order Gene Lock Awakener. In various families, they also play the roles of elders and revered figures. Such powerful individuals are not to be trifled with!

In the early stages of the competition, it was mostly small fry; some battles were over in just a few seconds, leaving the spectators scattering melon seeds everywhere!

At the Martial Arts Tournament, media access was severely restricted. Interviews were handled by designated personnel, and media personnel basically had no chance to get close to the contestants. However, this did not stop the paparazzi!

Some live stream footage has been circulated, but so far it hasn't generated much of a response. At the beginning, this fight was probably even more boring than a street brawl.

Finally, someone used a light-footed skill to fly onto the arena, and for a moment, many passersby and tourists were stunned.

Is this acrobatic performance?

Where is the thread hidden?

How could a person possibly fly such a long distance out of thin air?

While many people looked at each other in bewilderment, the majority of the crowd was already in a state of excited jubilation.

Meanwhile, at a breakfast stall near Dragon City Plaza, Tang Ling witnessed all of this, and a mouthful of soy milk shot out of her mouth.

And this was accompanied by a gasp of surprise.

"Holy crap (#?Д?)?!"

"What's wrong, Xiaoling? I've told you before not to look at your phone while eating, it's dangerous. Let's put it away for now, we have plenty of time later."

Liu Yinxuan looked away from the online novel she hadn't finished reading, suddenly put on a serious face, and warned Tang Ling.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Lan Yuxin had several small steamed buns stuck on a chopstick. Hearing the two talking, she took a big bite out of one of them and asked.

As she bit into the xiaolongbao, the soup filling overflowed, filling the air with a fragrant aroma, and her mouth was greasy with oil.

However, these were just details. When she noticed that Tang Ling and Liu Yinxuan at her strangely, Lan Yuxin hurriedly swallowed the steamed bun. Then, she quickly picked up a tissue and pretended to be a gentleman and elegantly wiped her mouth.

While xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are delicious, their appearance is even more important!

"It's over at Dragon City Plaza, at the Martial Arts Tournament. I just saw someone jump and fly up there! Just like in the TV series!"

Tang Ling was excited and overjoyed.

She already loved watching martial arts dramas and reading martial arts novels, and after seeing that magical scene, it was quickly and deeply imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't forget it!

He's so incredibly handsome!

"Really?"

Lan Yuxin was very surprised.

Liu Yinxuan also turned her head to take a look, and what happened next was something she would never forget!

A handsome young man dressed in an ancient blue robe and wearing a hair ornament held a sword in one hand. With a single swing, he unleashed a visible, ethereal white sword aura!

The sword energy was extremely powerful; the old man with the broom was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, with nowhere to hide!

Just at this critical moment, a silver longsword suddenly fell from the sky. With a 'whoosh' sound, it forcefully dispersed the youth's sword energy, and the competition finally ended.

Many people who witnessed this scene were terrified!

"Holy crap! Could this be the legendary sword energy projection?! I've read hundreds of martial arts novels and I never even imagined it!"

"Martial arts? Are you kidding me? If you told me this was about cultivating immortality, I'd believe you!"

"Take a picture, quick! I need to show it to my classmates! To show them what it means to be outmatched and have a world of difference!"

Are you sure you're not just trying to show off?

"I'll still write this down! I guess it'll be mistaken for a movie shoot, but it doesn't matter. From now on, I've seen real kung fu, and I can't be bothered with those frogs in a well! Believe it or not!"

"That handsome guy in blue is so handsome, and that silver sword is so cool too!"

"But speaking of which, where did this sword come from? It looks like it fell from the sky!"

"I didn't even notice that! That's incredible! Could there be a sword immortal here?!"

In Dragon City Plaza, amidst the lively discussion, a middle-aged man with a full beard suddenly stood up from his armchair in the main hall and then leaped up.

In an instant, he covered a distance of more than ten meters and landed on the arena!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the "middle-aged" old man smashed a large crater in the field, kicking up a cloud of dust. Many tourists in the vicinity were dumbfounded, while only the local people applauded and cheered.

"Nephew Lan, your martial arts skills have improved again!"
