"No wonder!"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's admission, Yun Rou suddenly realized what was going on.
Martial arts flourished, and there were many strong individuals.
Every few years, numerous prodigies rise to prominence, sweeping aside their peers and becoming top masters on the Heavenly Ranking.
But most of these geniuses were short-lived, quickly disappearing into the dust of history.
The reason is simple: the martial arts techniques they practiced all originated from the golden age of martial arts.
Moreover, it is a sacred place of martial arts—the Martial Hall!
That kind of place is not something ordinary martial artists can enter.
As a martial artist, how could Gu Yifeng willingly submit to others?
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people!
Whoosh!
At this moment, Gu Yifeng frowned, staring at the pool below, his expression shifting between light and dark.
"What...what do you want to do!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Rou trembled with fear, her pretty face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Gu Yifeng in terror.
She could sense a terrifying aura brewing within the pool.
It seemed as if the waves would burst forth at any moment and tear her to shreds.
Click!
However, at that moment, a crisp sound suddenly exploded in my ears.
"ah!"
Yun Rou screamed in fright and threw herself into Gu Yifeng's arms.
"Don't be afraid!"
Gu Yifeng gently patted the woman's back to soothe her emotions.
"The ferocious beast beneath this pool should not have awakened yet."
After a long while, Gu Yifeng loosened his embrace and slowly said.
"Huh? He's still not awake. Let's hurry up and get out of here!"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, Yun Rou grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously.
"Um!"
Gu Yifeng nodded.
Although the pool was dangerous, he was not afraid; what worried him was something else entirely.
Boom!
Just as the two were preparing to retreat, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, like thunder rolling in.
Whoosh!
The pool water burst open, sending up a cloud of mist.
"This is... a dragon?"
Looking up, Yun Rou's pretty face was pale, and she was muttering to herself.
In their line of sight, a colossal body, about five or six zhang long, covered in cold, obsidian-like scales, hovered in the void.
It was indeed a dragon.
At this moment, it opened its blood-red maw, and a ball of blazing flame shot out, attacking the shore.
"Hmph! You beast!"
Gu Yifeng snorted coldly, clenched his right fist, and slammed it down from mid-air.
The crimson flame extinguished immediately upon contact with Gu Yifeng's fist aura, and then disappeared into mid-air.
roar!
The dragon roared, its massive body swaying as it transformed into a blur, charging towards Gu Yifeng.
"cut!"
Gu Yifeng remained indifferent, extending his right hand and forming a sword incantation.
In an instant, a silver flying sword pierced through the sky, bursting out with dazzling silver light, and slashed straight towards the dragon.
"hold head high!"
Sensing the impending threat of death, the dragon roared to the sky, causing the surrounding pool water to surge up several meters high, condensing into ice spikes that met its attack.
clang!
The silver-light flying sword collided with the ice cone, scattering a trail of sparks.
Then, the silver flying sword changed direction and continued to slash at the dragon.
The sword flashed, and the dragon's scales shattered, leaving it covered in blood and howling in pain.
It twisted its body and fled towards the lake.
"Walk!"
Gu Yifeng scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the dragon had already lurked in the water. His mind raced, and he immediately pulled Yun Rou up and jumped into the pool.
This place is where spiritual energy gathers. The dragon absorbs the spiritual spring, making its body tough and comparable to the early stage of the Innate Realm.
It will be a real problem if it recovers from its injuries.
puff!
The two jumped into the pool, where the water was warm and had a rich spiritual energy, like bathing in a spring breeze.
Yun Rou, her legs treading on the water like a swimming fish, followed behind Gu Yifeng toward the abyss.
The spiritual spring here is enough to enable even a martial artist with innate martial arts skills to break through to the next level.
But for martial artists, it's useless and has no practical applications.
Because these spiritual springs contain impurities, they are unusable and would only harm one's cultivation.
Whoosh!
Before long, the two finally surfaced.
This is a canyon.
The cliffs on both sides are covered with green vines, which shimmer with green light under the sunlight, like a dream.
"This place...is so beautiful!"
Looking at the scene before her, Yun Rou's pretty face lit up with joy, and she cheered with delight.
Gu Yifeng was also quite surprised.
Logically, wild animals should be more abundant in the lower reaches of the mountain stream.
However, compared to other places, the wild game here is rare and even scarce.
"Um!"
Suddenly, his nostrils twitched twice, and he looked ahead.
A campfire was burning in the bushes beside the stream.
Two burly men sat around the campfire.
Both men wore short jackets that revealed their well-defined muscles, which bulged and exuded explosive power.
"There's someone here!"
Looking at the two men, Gu Yifeng was surprised. He then turned his gaze to the campfire.
There lay a thin young man, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his breathing erratic.
"Brother, are you still alive?"
Gu Yifeng stepped closer, squatted down, and asked.
"Don't come any closer!"
The young man opened his eyes, glanced at Gu Yifeng, and said in a low voice.
This is a girl.
He was thin, dark-skinned, and dressed in an animal skin skirt, clearly a hunter.
I won't hurt you!
Gu Yifeng shook his head and said.
He examined the girl's injuries and found they were not serious; she only needed treatment to recover.
