Chapter 756: The Clash of Two Strong Forces

After a night of cultivation, Ling Feng had completely refined the medicinal strength of the Three Yang Fire Chi Pill. This ancient pill did not disappoint him.

In just one night, Ling Feng broke through once again. Combined with the continuous consumption of the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill, his accumulated true qi surged, allowing him to unlock three more meridian gates, reaching a terrifying total of ninety-three meridian gates.

He was now one step closer to the ultimate goal of one hundred meridian gates.

As Ling Feng stepped out of the alchemy room, he saw Tuoba Yan meditating in the pavilion outside the courtyard. He couldn't help but shake his head. Due to the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu, Tuoba Yan had been following him around, and he knew it hadn't been easy for her.

He needed to find a way to completely remove the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu from her body as soon as possible.

What he didn't know was that, after several months, the gu poison in Tuoba Yan's body had already been mostly cleared. However, Ling Feng hadn't checked on her condition recently, so he remained unaware.

Quietly walking over to Tuoba Yan, Ling Feng took out a robe from his storage spirit ring and gently draped it over her shoulders. Despite his efforts to be as quiet as possible, Tuoba Yan still woke up.

"What are you doing?"

The moment Tuoba Yan opened her eyes and saw Ling Feng standing so close, her heart raced. But when she realized he had just covered her with a robe, a sweet feeling washed over her. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Why didn't you just wake me up?"

"It's still early, no rush." Ling Feng pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Miss Tuoba. You've had to accompany me on this journey for so long."

"It's fine. I'm used to it by now." Tuoba Yan tightened the robe around her shoulders, feeling a warmth in her heart.

"Don't worry, Miss Tuoba. I will definitely find a way to completely remove the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu and restore your freedom as soon as possible." Ling Feng spoke with a serious expression.

Tuoba Yan shot Ling Feng a sharp glance and let out a soft humph. In her heart, she thought,

Is this guy really in such a hurry to get rid of me?

"

Em

..."

Seeing Tuoba Yan's sudden change in expression, Ling Feng scratched the back of his head, completely baffled as to how he had offended her this time.

A woman's heart is truly as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the sea!

"

Hehe...

Youth really is wonderful!"

Not far away, Yan Cangtian watched this scene through a window. Stroking his long beard, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Then, a face that had haunted his dreams for decades flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

East Court's Sword Team had faced off against Central Court's Third Team and North Court's Sword Team, securing two consecutive 2:0 victories and maintaining their undefeated record since the start of the competition.

Throughout these matches, Ling Feng and Gu Tengfeng were the only main fighters from East Court's Sword Team to take the stage.

Even when facing a strong team like North Court's Sword Team, Jiang Xiaofan and the others had not been sent into battle. Fortunately, thanks to the perfect coordination between Ling Feng and Gu Tengfeng, as well as Gong Cheng's strategic command, they had managed to secure two straight wins.

Today, East Court's Sword Team would face their final match of this round, going up against Central Court's Second Team.

On paper, a second team shouldn't be too strong. However, in yesterday's match, North Court's Sword Team had suffered an upset, losing 1:2 to Central Court's Second Team.

This meant that Central Court's Second Team's strength had surpassed previous levels, reaching a peak in this year's competition.

Of course, the fact that a second team was so powerful also served as proof that Central Court's Sword Team was even stronger!

Regardless, the clash between the two strongest sword teams in the second round of the point competition had pushed the atmosphere in the arena to a fever pitch.

"Bufan, you'll be playing this time. Replace Nanfeng."

After some consideration, Gu Tengfeng decided to go with a more stable lineup.

After all, judging from yesterday's match against North Court's Sword Team, both Ye Nanfeng and Gong Cheng had struggled. If not for Ling Feng's exceptional individual performance, they might have suffered an unexpected defeat.

Facing Central Court's Second Team, who were even stronger than North Court's Sword Team, it was necessary to bring out Li Bufan, one of their main players.

"I knew I'd be benched sooner or later!"

Ye Nanfeng shrugged nonchalantly and nudged Li Bufan. "Bufan, it's all up to you now!"

"

Mhmm

." Li Bufan, as always, was a man of few words. However, the look in his eyes showed that he had fully accepted this team and his companions.

"Captain, when will I get to play?"

Jiang Xiaofan was itching to get on the stage. Since the start of the competition, he had been watching from the sidelines, and his hands were practically trembling with anticipation.

Gu Tengfeng patted Jiang Xiaofan on the shoulder. "Your strength doesn't need to be revealed just yet."

"

Ah?

" Jiang Xiaofan let out a sigh, his face filled with disappointment.

"Xiaofan, you're our team's trump card. The captain values you so much, what more could you want?" Ling Feng said with a faint smile.

"I get it..." Jiang Xiaofan forced a smile, though it looked more like a grimace.

Despite his increased strength, Jiang Xiaofan wore his heart on his sleeve, unable to hide his emotions.

"Let's go!"

Gu Tengfeng lightly tapped his fists together and waved to the selected teammates. Together, they stepped onto the sword fighting arena.

At the same time, Central Court's Second Team also sent out their full lineup of main players.

The moment the two teams' lineups were revealed, the audience erupted in excitement.

"Wow, East Court's Sword Team has finally sent out the 'Little Sword God' Li Bufan. It looks like they know Central Court's Second Team isn't an easy opponent."

"Of course! Yesterday's match against North Court's Sword Team was a bloody example. Who would have thought that Central Court's Second Team captain, Luo Hong, would be so strong!"

"But with East Court's Sword Team sending out Li Bufan, they're probably aiming to maintain their undefeated record and secure another 2:0 victory."

"Let's wait and see. Haha, today we might finally get a glimpse of East Court's Sword Team's true strength. The previous matches were just too easy for them."

"Yeah,

hahaha...

"

In a corner of the spectator stands, the entire Central Court's Sword Team sat together, observing this peak battle of the second round of the point competition.

"The second team isn't just about Luo Hong."

Lu Qingshan grinned. "Captain Li, yesterday the second team deliberately lost one round to North Court's Sword Team. It seems to have worked, making everyone think they're only slightly stronger than North Court's Sword Team.

Haha

, this time, East Court's Sword Team is in for a tough fight. They might even lose!"

"Gu Tengfeng isn't a simple character. By sending out Li Bufan, he must have already noticed something."

Li Yunting narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Let's watch and see. Hopefully, the second team can push East Court's Sword Team to reveal more of their strength. That way, when we face them, our chances of winning will be higher."

"Captain Li, you're being too cautious. They only have Ling Feng, after all. The rest, aside from Li Bufan, aren't much of a threat."

Lu Qingshan's face showed a hint of disdain, clearly unimpressed by Li Yunting's excessive caution.

"East Court's Sword Team isn't just about Ling Feng!"

Yue Yunlan hesitated for a moment but couldn't help reminding her teammates. Although she had feelings for Ling Feng, she wasn't so swayed by personal emotions that she would deliberately go easy on them.

Of course, she wouldn't reveal any specific details about East Court's Sword Team, so she only gave a subtle hint.

Whether her teammates believed her or not was another matter entirely.
