Star Dragon God
After learning "Earthquake Strike," Huo Feng continued to practice and study his two available Combat Techniques in the pit of Purple Cloud Mountain. At night, he fused Origin Force with Stellar Power on the rooftop.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the fifth night, Huo Feng was finally able to complete the final fusion.
The next morning, on the rooftop of a villa belonging to the Huo Family, a white light point on the boy's forehead slowly dimmed but did not completely disappear; upon closer inspection, it could be seen flickering weakly.
Huo Feng let out a slow breath, feeling that he had finally completed it. He sensed that his Origin Force had become exceptionally robust and felt a surge of joy within.
Huo Feng jumped off the rooftop and returned to his room, thinking, "Since I have completed the fusion and the inheritance has hinted at the first level of Star Blade as a Combat Technique, perhaps I can use it now. Anyway, my father told me yesterday that the selection competition starts in the afternoon."
With this thought in mind, Huo Feng immediately took action but decided to practice in his room to avoid any delays for the competition.
Following his cultivation mantra, Huo Feng began to practice and indeed condensed a blade-like white light about an inch long. He controlled it and shot it towards the table, only to find that the table was instantly shattered.
Huo Feng felt secretly pleased; however, this level of destruction was not what he desired. He was pursuing an attack based on precision, aiming for a one-hit kill—quick, accurate, and lethal.
Thus, Huo Feng lined up all the chairs in his room to practice with Star Blade. He continued to cultivate according to his intent for speed and precision. It wasn't until the third chair that he managed not to shatter it completely. A large hole appeared in the chair instead, and Huo Feng shook his head. He still had a way to go; what he wanted was for the Starlight Blade to pass through in a flash, leaving only a mark behind.
Determined to continue practicing, just as he was about to release his blade, the door was pushed open. Huo Feng withdrew his Origin Force and turned around to see it was his father. He walked over with a smile and said, "Dad, what brings you here? Isn't the competition yet?"
"You little rascal! If I hadn't come over, this house would have been demolished by you," Huo Lianqing said with a mix of joy and mock scolding upon seeing his son's rapid improvement.
"Wait a minute; your strength seems to have increased significantly again. Let me see your Connection Realm at level one! With just this much, you've already surpassed Huo Yan and even Mu Xue from the Mu Family. Hahaha!" Huo Lianqing exclaimed excitedly, unable to contain his laughter. He then composed himself, almost forgetting about the main matter at hand.
"I'm here to tell you that banners have already been posted outside the Training Ground for this competition. This year there are two thousand participants who will be divided into twenty Training Arenas for matches. The top twenty will proceed to the finals. So hurry over and take a look."
"Feng'er, you need to pay attention to two people in this competition: one is Mu Xue from the Mu Family; I know he is at Origin Force level nine. The other is Nalan Feijun from the Nalan Family. Nalan Feijun hasn't shown much yet; we don't know his strength exactly but he reached Origin Force level nine a year ago, so be more cautious around him," Huo Lianqing advised.
"Dad, I will be careful. Just watch, I will make everyone take notice of me. What I have lost before, I will reclaim all at once this time," Huo Feng said firmly.
"Alright, I believe in you. Now go ahead," his father replied.
Huo Feng nodded vigorously and rushed towards the Grand Arena in the center of Nottingham City.
From a distance, Huo Feng saw a crowd of young talents gathered in front of the Grand Arena. He wasn't fond of such crowded places, but he still made his way through the throng. After much effort, he finally reached the front to check for his name. He scanned eleven lists without finding it, so he continued looking.
Finally, on the fifteenth list, he spotted his name. He took a moment to glance over the names of those competing in the Training Arena. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and one’s enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Huo Feng was not one to be arrogant or careless.
After reviewing the lists, Huo Feng noticed that Mu Xue and Nalan Feijun were absent. The only familiar faces were Huo Mo and Mu Yu. Given this situation, Huo Feng felt somewhat pleased.
However, it wasn't that Huo Feng was afraid of Mu Xue and Nalan Feijun; rather, he believed that not many would pay attention during this preliminary selection. He hoped that during the finals, when more people would be watching, he could demonstrate how he defeated those two prominent families.
To rise to prominence, one must make a loud impression; Huo Feng aimed to leave a lasting impact on everyone.
After finishing his review, Huo Feng turned to head back when he noticed that the people around him were slowly dispersing. At that moment, he felt a pressure approaching from behind. Not daring to be careless, he instantly released his Origin Force to meet it.
This brief clash nearly caused Huo Feng to stumble and fall. Turning around, he saw a very handsome young man standing there, but this young man's striking face was marred by an unmistakable expression of madness and anger.
Huo Feng did not recognize him and frowned as he asked, "What do you mean? We seem to have no connection."
"Hmph! Nalan Kang is the one you incapacitated, right? I am his older brother, Nalan Feijun. But don't worry; I won't do anything to you right now. I just wanted to test you. You should be able to make it to the finals; at that time, in front of your father and everyone in Nottingham City, I will take your life," Nalan Feijun said with a dark expression.
"So you're Nalan Feijun; is that all you've got? I'm looking forward to seeing if you can really take my life tomorrow. However... you should be more worried about whether you'll survive," Huo Feng retorted defiantly. Deep down, he knew that Nalan Feijun was a formidable opponent; he wasn't sure if he could handle him. Yet instead of feeling intimidated, his fighting spirit only grew stronger.
"Hmph." Nalan Feijun snorted coldly and waved his sleeve as he left.
Huo Feng also turned and walked towards home. At that moment, he was unaware that a woman in the distance was watching him; this person was Mu Xue, still wearing her indifferent expression.
Soon it was afternoon, and the central area of the Grand Arena was densely packed with participants from Nottingham City who had come to compete. Such a grand event naturally attracted many spectators, and the surrounding audience area was filled with people, making the entire Grand Arena quite noisy.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, an irresistible voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention to the highest viewing platform. There stood a man younger than Huo Feng's father, followed by Huo Lianqing, Muxiu, and Nalan Bo.
"I am the host of this Nottingham City selection competition, Le Xing from Azure Wave Palace. To avoid wasting everyone's time, I will announce today's competition rules."
"I believe everyone has seen today's announcement. Now, please go to your assigned Training Arena according to the list above," said Le Xing, pointing to the numbered Training Arenas below.
"The preliminary round will be a free-for-all. When only four people remain in each Training Arena, we will begin the second round. During the competition, life and death are at stake; if you cannot win, you may jump off the stage to concede. As for the rules of the second round, I will explain later. Now, let's head to the Training Arenas. The competition will officially begin when I say 'start.'"
Everyone then hurriedly made their way to their respective Training Arenas. Once Le Xing saw that everyone had entered their arenas, he shouted,
"Start!"
Upon hearing this command, the stands erupted into excitement with cheers and screams; people love thrilling events. Even before any fighting began in this free competition, the spectators were already filled with enthusiasm.
However, across each Training Arena, no one had yet made a move; everyone was cautiously observing those around them.
On Huo Feng's side as well, no one acted initially. But after waiting for a while, suddenly someone at the edge let out a cry and flew out of the Training Arena. This person had clearly been ambushed.
With that initial action, everyone began to move. Mu Yu glanced at Huo Feng with flickering eyes; he vividly remembered what had happened earlier. He cautiously approached those around him and noticed that they were also watching him warily. When he got close enough to one person, Mu Yu stopped and said, "Brother, let's team up with four of us together. This way we can look out for each other and have a better chance of entering the second round."
The man looked around and noticed others gathering together and whispering among themselves. He then replied, "Alright."
Gradually, similar situations occurred on every Training Arena, and soon many people were knocked off the Training Arena. Meanwhile, Huo Feng remained alone, standing at the edge without anyone teaming up with him. However, those who approached him individually were quickly sent flying by him. As a result, those who did not team up dared not approach him, and many were knocked off by others.
At that moment, four people charged towards him. As they got closer, Huo Feng's right hand manifested something resembling a stone.
"Earthquake Strike"
As the four rushed in, they were stunned by Huo Feng's Earthquake Strike. Huo Feng then quickly threw punches, instantly knocking all four off the Training Arena.
Huo Feng's performance shocked the others; even those who had teamed up hesitated to confront him. At this point, Huo Feng seemed almost superfluous.
Seeing Huo Feng's display, Mu Yu grew increasingly anxious. He led his team to engage others while moving closer to Huo Feng, planning to defeat him with the help of a few teammates.
After taking down one team, Mu Yu found himself in front of Huo Feng and immediately rallied his teammates.
"Everyone, quickly team up and take down Huo Feng! He is our biggest threat. If we wait until we're nearly out of energy to deal with him, it will be too late, and we will likely be the ones going down."
The other three exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. With their consensus reached, the four unleashed their full strength against Huo Feng. As before, Huo Feng responded with another Earthquake Strike.
This time, they were clearly prepared; only two were knocked out. Mu Yu and another teammate jumped back. However, Huo Feng still targeted the two who had been stunned. After taking one down, as he aimed for the other, Mu Yu and his remaining teammate charged in.
Huo Feng could not land a hit and decisively chose to retreat. At this moment, Mu Yu's trio changed expressions; despite their precautions, they lost one person in an instant and dared not press forward again.
Huo Feng glanced around and noticed that aside from the four of them on stage, only three others remained. Among those three was Huo Mo; his team was down to just him and one other person. The opposing team also had only one member left—an obvious shift in the situation.
Although Huo Mo had not helped him, he had never targeted Huo Feng either. In his heart, Huo Feng's resentment towards them began to diminish.
At this point, Mu Yu's trio wore uncertain expressions and felt intimidated by Huo Feng. Tired of dragging things out with them, Huo Feng charged towards them.
As he approached, Mu Yu was already frightened enough to activate the Water Curtain Sphere. Regardless of his teammates retreating frantically, Huo Feng couldn't be bothered to chase after them; after all, they were already defeated opponents, and he was not concerned about their escape.
A Push Palm struck one of the two, and at that moment, the other person had no time to complain about Mu Yu, so he launched an attack to save his teammate. However, Huo Feng completely ignored his attack, sending that person into the Training Arena. Then, with a swift motion, he executed a “Suction Palm” towards the man's fist. The man suddenly realized that his attack was uncontrollably directed towards Huo Feng. Just as the punch was about to reach Huo Feng's palm, Huo Feng extended his left hand.
“Earthquake Strike”
The man froze in place, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Huo Feng gently pushed him down from the Training Arena.
With a harmless smile on his face, Huo Feng looked at Mu Yu, who was now sweating profusely.
Huo Feng walked step by step towards Mu Yu, raising his hand to prepare for another “Push Palm”.
Suddenly, a powerful aura surged forward. Huo Feng retracted his palm, ready to respond, and saw Le Xing standing in the center of their Training Arena. He spoke, “The top four from number fifteen will be decided; step back and wait for all other Training Arenas to finish before starting the second round.”
At that moment, Mu Yu felt as if he had escaped a disaster and let out a sigh of relief. Seeing him relaxed, Huo Feng sneered, “You seem quite relieved. Don’t forget we still need to determine the spots for the finals.”
Huo Feng's sudden reminder made Mu Yu, who thought he had narrowly escaped danger, shiver. He immediately wilted like a withered eggplant and reluctantly stepped down from the stage.
