Star Dragon God
"Leave, go down and watch with Ling and the others," Huo Feng said coldly, his voice filled with unfamiliarity and a sense of rejection. He knew that he was about to engage in a fierce battle that would inevitably hurt this newly made friend. However, people often find themselves in situations beyond their control, and to minimize the harm, he could only treat him with indifference.
Ruan Yiqing felt as if the current Huo Feng was someone he no longer recognized. He looked at Huo Feng in disbelief, still pondering something, but his father, the general, had indeed brought him down from the Training Arena. He reassured Ruan Yiqing, "Qing'er, don't worry, your Uncle Three won't harm him."
But what he didn't realize was that Ruan Yiqing wasn't worried about that; rather, it was Huo Feng's indifferent expression that made all his feelings feel wasted. The discomfort was worse than swallowing a fly.
However, there was still someone else feeling quite frustrated—Three Generals. The Martial Arts Arena was already packed with people waiting to see him defeat the arrogant Huo Feng. Yet he knew very well that he was no match for Huo Feng. As a general, under such pressure, he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
After some hesitation, Three Generals finally jumped onto the Training Arena. He looked at Huo Feng with caution in his eyes.
Huo Feng, on the other hand, looked at Three Generals with sincere reverence and said with a smile, "Thank you, Three Generals, for giving me a chance to showcase my abilities. I will not disappoint your expectations."
Seeing Huo Feng like this made Three Generals' muscles twitch in anger; he felt like he could spit blood. Huo Feng's words about not disappointing him meant he intended to defeat him! Three Generals thought to himself, "I must not panic now; otherwise, my chances of winning will diminish even further. Besides, he shouldn't dare transform into that strange beast form here. Yes, that's right; I might still have a chance."
With that thought in mind, Three Generals revealed a smile and said, "Alright, I'll give this newcomer a good lesson. Let's get started."
Huo Feng smiled back, knowing that for the sake of his pride, Three Generals wouldn't strike first. So Huo Feng wasted no time and waved his hand toward Three Generals.
"Star Blade!"
A silver-white Starlight Blade charged forward towards Three Generals with lightning effects.
Having witnessed Huo Feng's combat style before, Three Generals understood that this was merely a probing attack—a mere appetizer. He quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest, forming a rocky barrier that blocked Huo Feng's Starlight Blade.
However, at the same moment Huo Feng unleashed the Star Blade, he also executed Phantom Steps. Following closely behind the Starlight Blade, he appeared right in front of Three Generals and swiftly activated the Silver Yuan Defense System. Everything flowed so smoothly without any disruption to his Origin Force.
This left both the general below and Second General utterly shocked. They knew that one could only control one Combat Technique at a time; otherwise, insufficient Origin Force could lead to internal damage within their meridians due to chaos in their Origin Force, ultimately resulting in death. Therefore, after using one Combat Technique, there would typically be a transition period before connecting to another. Yet Huo Feng managed to execute them seamlessly in one go.
Three Generals knew that Huo Feng was special, but he didn't expect there to be so much he didn't know. Now, he dared not think too much and could only give it his all.
Suddenly, Three Generals transformed into a dark brown stone statue. Huo Feng was taken aback but still struck it fiercely with a punch, instantly shattering the statue's head into dust.
At this moment, everyone in the audience, except for the General and Second General, was stunned, thinking that Three Generals had been defeated just like that. They thought to themselves, "So this is all Three Generals is capable of; I would have challenged him earlier if I had known."
Ruan Yiqing shared the same thought for a moment, looking at his father with a heavy heart and asking, "Father, how could this happen?"
"Yiqing, do you think your Uncle Three is made of tofu? Just watch; the three of us old Fellows have plenty for you to learn from—our judgment of the situation, timing, and combat experience far exceed that of you young hotheads," Second General interjected.
"That's right. No matter what, your Uncle Three won't be defeated in just one round. However, your friend is not simple; he seems to be hiding his true strength. I sense that his power is on par with your Uncle Three. It looks like your Uncle Three has a tough battle ahead," the General added.
Ruan Yiqing seemed to have misheard and exclaimed in surprise, "What? You can't be serious! He was only at the Earth Vein Realm Fourth Stage over three months ago!"
The General recalled how Three Generals and Huo Feng had destroyed Bloodthirsty Manor and killed the brothers of Nameless South Palace. A sense of foreboding arose in his heart, prompting him to say, "Let's just watch for now."
Ruan Yiqing was completely bewildered, staring wide-eyed at Huo Feng on stage.
At this moment, Huo Feng stood before the headless stone statue, frowning because he knew that this statue did not carry Three Generals' aura. However, there was no sign of him anywhere in the entire Training Arena, nor could he sense his presence.
Just then, Huo Feng's eyes suddenly changed to a golden hue with blood-red sclera, an unsettling sight that made people hesitant to look directly at him. He activated his “Crimson Demon Eyes” and scanned the entire Training Arena, quickly discovering that there was an aura of Three Generals all over the ground, particularly strong beneath his feet.
In an instant, a strange surge of Origin Force erupted from the ground. At the same time, Huo Feng leaped into the air with his feet up and head down before punching downward.
“Nether Break”
Immediately, the dark brown stone fragments created by the Origin Force were shattered into pieces by countless shadows of Huo Feng's fists. However, he also realized that Three Generals indeed had extraordinary abilities. If he continued to rely on this special Combat Techniques method to hide beneath the Training Arena, he would remain in a passive position. It seemed that he could only force him out and prevent him from hiding again to effectively deal with him.
Huo Feng soared into the sky, extending both fists, which emitted a silvery glow. He then rapidly unleashed four punches in quick succession towards the four corners of the Training Arena.
"Starlight Shining!"
Instantly, four thunderous booms echoed, and a dazzling white light enveloped the entire area, obscuring what was happening inside.
But that wasn't all. Huo Feng condensed countless fine needle-like Origin Force Combat Techniques known as "Dragon Spike" on his ten fingers and unleashed them wildly upon the Training Arena.
In an instant, without a sound, the entire Training Arena shattered into rubble. The Three Generals, who had been hiding beneath it, revealed themselves, but they bore traces of blood at the corners of their mouths, clearly caught off guard by Huo Feng's sudden attack and sustaining injuries due to their carelessness.
However, they remained unusually quiet, unable to see Huo Feng. The shock he felt from Huo Feng only grew stronger, forcing him to be cautious and maintain his best state to sense Huo Feng's exact location while preparing to dive back into the debris-filled smoke.
Just then, a faint ripple of Origin Force flashed by, and the Three Generals found themselves unable to burrow underground. Instead, they were in a strange black space with Huo Feng standing opposite them.
Huo Feng smiled at the Three Generals and said, "No need to be surprised. Your ability is useless here. We don't need to rush into action; I believe you've had thoughts about me for a while now. That Li Tie must have been sent by you to track me down, but unfortunately for you, I noticed him. I also sensed your presence when you went to the Death Arena to watch me fight."
"What exactly is your purpose here? Hmph! It won't be so easy to defeat me. That series of Combat Techniques and Origin Force you just used consumed a lot of energy. If you kill me, the generals will suspect you, making your life even harder," the Three Generals attempted to analyze the situation in hopes of dissuading Huo Feng from attacking him.
However, Huo Feng merely smiled calmly and replied, "I have been hiding until now for a reason; my actions are meant to draw their attention. My goal is not just to deal with you as a general; you and the Wall Calamity Kingdom do not satisfy my ambitions."
Realizing further discussion was futile, the Three Generals decided to fight desperately. He shouted loudly and raised his hands above his head, summoning a dark brown stone sphere above him.
"Falling Stars!"
The dark brown stone instantly grew to about a yard in diameter and continued to expand rapidly as the Three Generals struggled to say, "Hmph! If you want to kill me, then I will perish with you in this space."
Huo Feng felt the terrifying power emanating from it; it was too late to act now. If he took that force head-on, even transforming into Golden Wyvern Form would leave him severely injured.
Huo Feng's brain was racing, and suddenly he had a brilliant idea. He quickly transformed into Golden Wyvern Form and let out a Dragon Roar, causing the Three Generals to feel momentarily dazed.
At that moment, Huo Feng canceled Star Domain Annihilation and simultaneously cast Phantom Fire Clone, sending it towards the Three Generals while he used Meteoric Steps to swiftly dodge to the edge of Silver Radiance.
When the Three Generals regained their senses, they noticed something was off. They couldn't see anything, but they felt Huo Feng charging right in front of them. Suddenly, one of them shouted frantically, "You will die!"
With a loud explosion, the entire Underground Soldier City trembled. Huo Feng's body was blasted out from the Light Barrier. Just as he flew out, Huo Feng reverted to his human form and spat out a mouthful of blood. The onlookers below saw Huo Feng flying down from the sky, but their focus was not on him; they were more concerned about what had happened inside the Light Barrier and what had become of the Three Generals.
Seeing Huo Feng fall, Ling and his companions rushed over to help him up. Once he had put on his clothes, Miyan asked, "How are you? Are you okay? Do you still want to challenge them?"
Instead, Ling and his brother silently stared at Huo Feng, as if there was something they wanted to say but couldn't find the words.
Huo Feng glanced at them and smiled, saying, "I'm fine."
Meanwhile, the generals sensed something was wrong when the Three Generals hadn't emerged yet and immediately rushed into the silver-white Light Barrier.
In an instant, the general burst out holding someone in his arms; it was one of the Three Generals, who appeared to be on the verge of death and was coughing up blood profusely.
