A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 501: The Dragon Technique (2)

The powerful shockwave from Li Feng’s punch swept across the training ground like a storm.

Dust and broken stone fragments filled the air, creating a thick cloud that momentarily obscured the two figures at the center.

But at that moment.

From within the settling dust, a calm and graceful voice drifted out.

"...Not bad."

When the dust finally cleared, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

Li Feng’s fist, which carried terrifying power, had been gently caught in Empress Fen Ling’s delicate, snow-white hand.

Her fingers were slender and elegant, yet they held his punch firmly without the slightest tremor.

A faint dark golden dragon qi swirled softly around her palm, completely neutralizing the force behind his strike.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Fen Ling looked at him with a gentle smile, her crimson eyes shining with clear appreciation.

"You’ve surprised this Empress again, Envoy Li. Your strength is truly remarkable for someone at the Foundation Establishment realm..."

Inside, however, her thoughts were far more complicated.

’This child... his physical body and power are far beyond what a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator should possess. Even many early or mid-stage Golden Core experts would struggle to receive that punch head-on.’

At that realization, a trace of genuine interest flashed across her heart.

And when their fists made contact earlier, Fen Ling had clearly sensed it... an endless, surging vitality hidden deep within Li Feng’s body.

It was like a boundless ocean of life force, far more vigorous and refined than what a normal cultivator at his realm should possess.

’Body tempering... and at such a high level too.’

Her crimson eyes flickered with surprise.

Most cultivators focused solely on qi cultivation and neglected body tempering.

Those who walked both paths were extremely rare, and even fewer could reach a high level in body tempering while still being so young.

’Interesting... very interesting.’

Fen Ling maintained her gentle smile on the surface as she slowly tightened her grip on his fist.

"Your physical body is quite extraordinary. Envoy Li," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of praise.

Li Feng’s expression remained calm, but he was inwardly alert.

He could tell that this woman had already seen through part of his secret.

’As expected... even her perception is terrifying.’

Before he could pull his hand back, Fen Ling’s grip suddenly changed.

Fen Ling smiled faintly.

"Since you’ve shown me something interesting, this Empress shall return the favor."

At her words, a faint dark golden dragon qi flowed from her palm into his fist, gentle yet irresistible.

"...!"

The moment the golden qi entered his body, Li Feng felt his entire arm become extremely heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on it.

At the same time, a warm, soothing energy flowed through his meridians, temporarily suppressing his Starforge Body’s vitality and making his movements sluggish.

It wasn’t a destructive technique, but a controlling one... using dragon qi to bind and restrain the opponent’s power while appearing completely harmless on the surface.

Fen Ling’s smile remained gentle as she looked at him.

"This is called [Dragon’s Binding Grace]. It can temporarily seal the flow of energy in the opponent’s body. Against someone who relies heavily on physical strength like you, it is quite effective."

Before Li Feng could fully shake off the suppression, Fen Ling moved again.

Her figure flickered gracefully as she closed the distance in an instant.

Her palm, wrapped in faint dark golden dragon qi, struck lightly toward Li Feng’s shoulder.

There was no killing intent, no explosive power... only a soft, flowing strike that seemed almost casual.

Yet the moment her palm connected—

A powerful force exploded from the point of contact.

The dragon qi within her palm surged like a coiling dragon.

Fen Ling smiled faintly, expecting Li Feng’s body to be sent flying back once again.

But—

Li Feng’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her wrist in a firm, iron-like hold.

The smile on Fen Ling’s face froze for a split second.

Li Feng’s eyes burned with sharp determination as he held her wrist tightly, refusing to let her retreat.

"Not this time, Your Majesty," he said in a low voice.

Then he immediately pulled her closer while his other fist, wrapped in dense starry light, punched straight toward her abdomen with full power.

The air screamed as the powerful punch tore through the space between them.

Fen Ling’s phoenix eyes slightly in surprise, but a trace of approval flashed across them.

’Oh? Not bad.’

In that instant, she used another unique dragon technique.

As Li Feng’s fist approached, Fen Ling calmly extended her other hand and touched the incoming punch with just a single finger.

Instead of resisting the force head-on, she redirected the terrifying power of Li Feng’s punch downward, channeling it into the ground beneath her feet.

The ground beneath them cracked violently as the redirected force exploded into the earth.

A spiderweb of fissures spread out rapidly from where Fen Ling stood, but she herself remained completely unmoved, as steady as a mountain.

"Not bad at all. Your strength and speed are truly impressive for your realm."

She tilted her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of confidence and expectation.

"However, raw power alone is not enough. In the end, technique and control decide the victor."

Just as she finished speaking and prepared to counter again—

Li Feng’s eyes flashed with sharp calculation.

He had been waiting for this exact moment.

Instead of retreating, he suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance even further, and immediately used... [Star Ignition].

Li Feng’s aura exploded.

His plan was simple: brute force combined with the element of surprise.

The moment Fen Ling finished redirecting his previous attack, Li Feng’s other hand shot forward like a hidden viper.

His fist, wrapped in dense starry light and the full power of his Starforge Body, struck straight toward her abdomen with terrifying momentum.

Fen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She reacted instantly, trying to use [Dragon’s Earth Flow] once again to redirect the incoming force into the ground.

But this time—

Li Feng’s punch landed cleanly.

And the redirection failed to fully neutralize the strike.

A powerful explosion erupted the moment his fist connected with her abdomen.

The shockwave blasted outward, sending dust and broken stones flying in all directions.

The ground cracked violently beneath them as the force of the punch transmitted through Fen Ling’s body and into the earth.

But Li Feng’s eyes widened in shock.

He didn’t actually think the strike would land so cleanly.

’Did I... hit her too hard?’

A trace of worry flashed across his face, but as the dust slowly settled...

"...!"

Li Feng’s face was suddenly filled with disbelief.

Just like how Fen Ling had sensed his vitality earlier... after his punch landed, he could clearly feel hers.

And hers was... even more ridiculous than his.

Almost like she wasn’t even a human, but a slumbering giant dragon.
