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…"
