Chapter 323: Qiong Biluo's Arrogant Words
In the void, the proud figure stood there, laughing wildly.
"Biluo Martial Soul, appear!"
The figure in the air spoke loudly, and instantly, behind him, his martial soul materialized.
The Biluo Martial Soul—blue and pure Biluo water, dreamlike and illusory, like a curtain of water, dripping down from above, transforming into straight lines of blue silk rain. However, this blue silk rain did not fall to the ground; it was like tangible Biluo water, yet also so ethereal.
"What a marvelous martial soul. I've never seen Qiong Biluo use his martial soul before. So his name is actually Biluo Martial Soul. I wonder what makes the Biluo Martial Soul so formidable."
The crowd gazed at the blue Biluo water, thinking to themselves. Another peculiar martial soul had naturally sparked their curiosity.
"Biluo Martial Soul!" Qiong Biluo felt the martial soul behind him and laughed arrogantly. "From today onward, I, Qiong Biluo, am the number one genius of Heavenly One Academy. People like One-Armed and Wen Aoxue are no longer my match. As for the likes of Lin Feng, in the eyes of me, who has stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm, they are nothing but trash and ants."
Qiong Biluo seemed to be talking to himself, but the arrogance in his voice soared higher than the heavens, causing the crowd's eyes to freeze in shock.
Qiong Biluo, the second-ranked disciple of Heavenly One Academy, claimed that Wen Aoxue was no match for him—the crowd could accept that. Now that he had entered the Mysterious Martial Realm, calling Lin Feng an ant was also understandable. But One-Armed had always been the strongest disciple of Heavenly One Academy, the number one genius, and had recently stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm as well. Yet Qiong Biluo said even One-Armed was no longer his opponent. No one knew where Qiong Biluo's confidence came from, that he had suddenly become so arrogantly boundless.
At that moment, Qiong Biluo's gaze swept downward, a proud smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, he knew what the crowd was thinking. Over the years, he had always been ranked second, suppressed by One-Armed.
"I, Qiong Biluo, will prove my words. Three days from now, right here, I will challenge One-Armed, Wen Aoxue, and Dugu Shang one by one. As for that so-called genius Lin Feng, if he wants to come, I don't mind either."
Qiong Biluo sneered coldly, saying, "Spread this news. Three days from now, I, Qiong Biluo, will be waiting here."
With that, Qiong Biluo took a step, striding through the void, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the shocked crowd behind.
Qiong Biluo actually intended to challenge One-Armed, Wen Aoxue, Dugu Shang, and Lin Feng all by himself. Too arrogant! After stepping into the Mysterious Martial Realm, Qiong Biluo had become so confident that he looked down on everything.
"Could it be that the Biluo Martial Soul has some unique quality that allows Qiong Biluo to become the number one genius of Heavenly One Academy and contend with the Eight Young Masters?"
Many people had this thought—a very strange one—but Qiong Biluo's confidence had indeed given them a strong mental shock.
At this moment, Lin Feng was also standing among the crowd below, watching the figure disappear into the air, his eyes flickering.
Just now, with his powerful perception at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, he had sensed the other's Biluo Martial Soul. He found that the silk rain curtain of the Biluo Martial Soul seemed to have a sealing effect on space. The space within the range of the Biluo silk rain had fluctuations inconsistent with the space outside.
"Above the azure sky, below the yellow springs. Could it be that the Biluo Martial Soul is named after this?"
Lin Feng murmured to himself, then shook his head. This Qiong Biluo cared very much about the reputation of being the number one disciple of Heavenly One Academy. He had just stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm and immediately challenged the academy's geniuses to prove himself.
Moreover, what annoyed Lin Feng was that this matter had inexplicably involved him. Qiong Biluo had included his name as well, even though he looked down on him the most, treating him as an insignificant ant.
"This person is so rude. When the young master steps into the Mysterious Martial Realm, he must teach him a lesson."
Yi Xue said angrily. Qiong Biluo had categorized Lin Feng as trash and ants—too rude.
Although Lin Feng had not yet stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm, considering Lin Feng's age, he was several years younger than Qiong Biluo. Factoring in those years, how could Lin Feng be inferior to Qiong Biluo?
Lin Feng smiled indifferently and glanced at Yi Xue. Having endured hardships, she was very intelligent and considerate.
She did not point out that Lin Feng was currently weaker than Qiong Biluo, but instead said that Lin Feng would surpass him in the future. At the same time, she hinted that Lin Feng should not act impulsively and accept Qiong Biluo's challenge. This seemingly casual remark of Yi Xue's contained wisdom.
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Yi Xue lowered her head slightly, a blush appearing on her face. In Lin Feng's clear eyes, she felt that her little thoughts could not escape his notice.
"Let's go," Lin Feng said calmly. But before they had taken a few steps, Lin Feng stopped again. In front of him, a young girl stood with her head slightly lowered, her hands clenched tightly, seeming a bit nervous.
"Yun... Xi!" Lin Feng called out softly. He vaguely remembered that this girl's name was similar to the innocent girl he had met in Tianluo Ancient City—Yun Xi and Yun Xi.
"You still remember me." Yun Xi raised her head, a faint blush on her face, looking at Lin Feng with some excitement.
Lin Feng had actually remembered her name.
"Yes."
Lin Feng nodded with a smile. Back then, also here, a woman had advised Yun Xi to sleep with Dugu Shang in exchange for entering the higher levels of the cultivation tower. But Yun Xi had said she preferred Lin Feng, without any of those dirty thoughts. Later, Dugu Shang appeared, threatening Yun Xi very domineeringly. Lin Feng couldn't stand it, slapped Dugu Shang, made him kneel, and sent Yun Xi to the higher levels of the cultivation tower to train.
Lin Feng naturally remembered these things.
"Lin Feng..." Seeing Lin Feng nod, Yun Xi's face showed a hint of excitement. She wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out, standing there frozen.
"Are you... doing well?" After a moment of hesitation, Yun Xi managed to utter a few words.
"I'm doing very well." Lin Feng nodded with a smile. Yun Xi became even more at a loss, just standing there. Usually quite lively, she was now unusually tongue-tied.
"I'll be going now. Train well." Lin Feng nodded to Yun Xi, then lifted his foot and walked past her.
Raising her head, Yun Xi only saw the backs of that group of people. A deep sense of loss flashed in her eyes.
Over this period, she came here every few days, reminiscing about that day's encounter. She hadn't expected to see Lin Feng again today, but unfortunately, she couldn't even speak.
"By his side, there are so many beautiful women." A sense of inferiority arose in Yun Xi's heart. The several young women beside Lin Feng were all very beautiful.
"Yun Xi, don't overthink it. He and we are not from the same world," a young girl beside her comforted. This girl was Yun Xi's friend, and she had been there that day. Of course, she knew that Yun Xi liked Lin Feng, especially after that day, she was infatuated with him, thinking of him day and night.
But between her and Lin Feng, there wouldn't be much intersection. They were not from the same world.
Yun Xi looked at the girl who had spoken, and her eyes actually grew a bit moist. Meeting only seemed to lead to another parting, adding to the sorrow. Lin Feng was just a beautiful memory in her heart.
Lin Feng was not aware of what position he held in the heart of this girl he had only met twice and didn't know well, although he could also see the feelings flashing in her eyes.
"Lin Feng, she seems to like you very much."
Lan Jiao looked at Lin Feng with a half-smile and spoke.
"So what?" Lin Feng looked at her.
"Don't you think that cultivating all the time is too monotonous? When you meet a woman you like, why don't you accept her? For someone like you, having many women is nothing special." Lan Jiao continued, a hint of a smile on her lips.
Her words caused the several women beside Lin Feng to show a trace of unusual expression. On the Nine Heavens Continent, cultivation was the foremost path, but matters between men and women were also very common. Some outstanding men having three wives and four concubines was not surprising. Even some powerful women had many men, though the former was more common and the latter rare.
Lin Feng looked at her carefully, his eyes flickering, then he spoke, "Are you trying to say that if you wanted to be my woman, I should accept you too, right?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lan Jiao's eyes froze, then she glared fiercely at Lin Feng and muttered, "Who would want to be the woman of a bastard like you? You have no appreciation for romance."
