Chapter 1302 - 1299: Target!

Crash!

The water exploded, and the massive impact formed enormous waterspouts on the lake. Immediately, a torrential rain began to fall, creating large splashes on the water surface.

The sound of breaking water was heard as Luo Feng walked out of the colorful light beam.

Buzz!

The True Yuan surged through his body, and Luo Feng pressed the void with his right hand. A layer of transparent ripples swept out. The previously tumultuous water surface seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force and immediately calmed down.

"The True Yuan Realm’s fourth level is indeed very strong. My True Yuan is at least ten times as robust now!"

Looking at the calm lake, Luo Feng’s eyes revealed joy.

In these ten days, he had only planned to break through to the peak of True Yuan Realm level three. Unexpectedly, the combination of Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue and Sun Water’s power was more profound than he imagined, drastically increasing his training speed. In ten days, he successfully broke through to the True Yuan Realm’s fourth level.

Of course, a significant reason was his exceptionally powerful recovery ability, enabling continuous cultivation.

Otherwise, with another True Yuan Realm Martial Artist, it would have been impossible to persist until now, and the cultivation effect would have undoubtedly been greatly reduced.

Phew...

Dispelling the mist, Luo Feng looked up and saw Gu Xifeng and Xia Yunjing.

Xia Yunjing watched Luo Feng, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

Beside her, Gu Xifeng’s expression was also different from usual, her face slightly pale and weary. Luo Feng had been tirelessly cultivating for ten days, and she had not rested at all, continuously maintaining the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue.

"Luo Feng, congratulations! You actually broke through to the True Yuan Realm’s fourth level in just ten days. If news of this progress gets out, it would be astonishing!"

Xia Yunjing regained her composure and spoke to Luo Feng, her words and demeanor showing uncontrollable excitement.

Luo Feng smiled lightly and bowed to Gu Xifeng, "Thank you, Elder Gu. Without your help, I couldn’t have broken through in such a short time."

Gu Xifeng gently exhaled and shook her head, "Luo Feng, you need not be modest. If you weren’t competent on your own, no matter how much I helped, it would have been in vain. Your achievements today are all due to your own efforts."

Today, when facing Luo Feng, Gu Xifeng no longer had the coldness that used to keep people at a distance.

Xia Yunjing noticed Gu Xifeng’s change in attitude and secretly blinked at Luo Feng. Her master had evidently accepted Luo Feng.

At the same time, she admired Luo Feng for being able to change the attitude of her master, who usually scoffed at men. This was not an easy feat.

"Alright, let’s head back."

The ten days had passed, and since Luo Feng had broken through to the True Yuan Realm’s fourth level, it would be difficult for him to have another breakthrough in the short term. Gu Xifeng gave instructions, and her figure soared into the sky, flying towards Linglong Hall, with Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing following behind.

Boom!

Just as the three of them left, a deafening loud noise erupted from the lake behind them.

Luo Feng looked back and saw that the colorful light beam had disappeared. The surface of the lake, where they had just been, erupted with a giant water spout dozens of feet thick, shooting up into the sky and creating a large hole in the clouds above. As the water fell back into the lake, it emitted thunderous crashes, shaking the heart and soul.

Seeing this scene, Luo Feng and Xia Yunjing were both stunned.

This was obviously caused by the lake water being compressed to the extreme and losing Gu Xifeng’s control.

Judging from the water column that had just shot into the sky, one could not help but suspect that an early True Yuan Realm Martial Artist would likely be shocked to death if caught there. No wonder Shui Linglong once said that even Hall Master Shui Qingcheng would defer to Gu Xifeng. Her strength was unfathomable and incomparable to ordinary Golden Palace elders.

After walking over a hundred li, Luo Feng shared with Gu Xifeng and Xia Yunjing his intention to go out for training, though he did not mention the Sword Tomb.

"You want to go out for training?"

Gu Xifeng raised her Daimei slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded, "It’s a good thing. After winning the Southern and Northern Martial Arts Tournament, you have become the undisputed number one of the younger generation. There is no longer any target for you to pursue within the Canglang Dynasty. A Martial Artist without a goal is dangerous. You should indeed go out and see the vast world outside and broaden your horizons, which will also benefit your future cultivation. Otherwise, you will always be a frog in a well."

Luo Feng nodded. He would leave the Canglang Dynasty not only because he promised Yue Haitang to accompany him to the Sword Tomb but also for the reason Gu Xifeng mentioned.

The Canglang Dynasty had no more targets for him to pursue. Staying here was undoubtedly a waste of time, a luxury he could not afford.

Only less than a year’s time remained until Bing Ruolan and the Nangong family’s young master’s wedding date. His path was an against-the-heavens journey, and he must seize every moment.

Gu Xifeng looked at Luo Feng and continued, "However, you don’t need to be too anxious. Since you just broke through, your realm is unstable. It would be best to first stabilize your realm before going out for training. In this way, if you encounter danger, you will have better self-preservation capabilities."

Luo Feng nodded, "Thank you, Elder Gu, for the advice. I won’t leave for a few more days."

"Alright, when you return to the Golden Palace, discuss with the hall masters. As the new first dragon, many people are watching you closely. Every move you make represents our Linglong Hall." Gu Xifeng said.

"Yes!"

Hearing that Luo Feng was going out for training, Xia Yunjing’s gaze was a bit envious.

She also wanted to see the world outside the Canglang Dynasty. However, she clearly understood that the world outside was still too dangerous for her. There were still many goals to pursue within the dynasty. Leaving now would be too early.

The three of them returned to Linglong Hall, and Luo Feng, bidding farewell to Gu Xifeng, headed straight to the Water Cloud Hall at the East Spirit Peak hall master’s palace.

The scenery at the top of East Spirit Peak remained unchanged. The Water Cloud Hall was hidden among the picturesque trees, akin to a fairyland.

Luo Feng crossed the jade stone bridge, arriving before the Water Cloud Hall.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Guarding outside the Water Cloud Hall were six Linglong Hall Inner Sect Disciples. Upon seeing Luo Feng, they immediately greeted him, their expressions respectful.

Luo Feng gave a polite bow and said, "Ladies, I have something to discuss with the hall master. Please inform him."

"Please wait a moment, Senior Brother."

A gentle-looking female disciple nodded and turned to enter the main hall.

Shortly thereafter, the gentle female disciple reappeared and said to Luo Feng, "Senior Brother, the hall master invites you in."

Luo Feng nodded and stepped into the Water Cloud Hall.

The interior of the Water Cloud Hall was very spacious, with thirty-six white jade columns adorned with engravings of auspicious beasts like cranes, golden eagles, cloud tigers, peacocks, etc. An invisible majesty pervaded the entire hall, commanding respect.

Atop the hall stood two enchanting figures: Hall Master Shui Qingcheng of Linglong Hall and Shui Linglong.

Upon seeing Luo Feng, Shui Linglong asked with a smile, "Luo Feng, Elder Gu’s grand gift for you shouldn’t have disappointed you, right? After all, her cultivation has reached the late Yuan Sea Realm, and there are very few people in the entire Canglang Dynasty qualified for her to assist, let alone help in cultivation."

Late Yuan Sea Realm...

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Come on, tell us, after ten days of closed-door training, how much have you improved?" Shui Linglong curiously inquired.

Luo Feng replied, "I just broke through to True Yuan Realm level four."

"True Yuan Realm level four!"

Shui Linglong’s eyes widened in astonishment as she assessed Luo Feng.

Although she knew with Gu Xifeng’s assistance, Luo Feng’s strength would surely advance rapidly within this period, his breakthrough to the True Yuan Realm’s fourth level was still beyond her expectations.

Shui Qingcheng had already observed Luo Feng’s cultivation level and was not surprised. She calmly said:

"Luo Feng, what urgent matter brings you to see me?"
