The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom!

On January 23, with a roar, a powerful golden wave burst forth from Lu Yuan's body.

The eighth martial meridian opens!

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

True Qi Level 80!

A punch with a force exceeding 80 tons!

Moreover, as the final three levels of the Meridian Opening Realm, each advancement in one level strengthens the Qi (vital energy/energy).

The sun condensed by Lu Yuan's True Qi Convergence has been greatly enhanced in terms of size, temperature, and controllability.

But we'll have to try it to find out for sure.

After calming down, Lu Yuan went out and headed straight for the clubhouse.

With the power of the "sun," if we were to test it at home, it would probably burn the whole building down. We would have to use the clubhouse's dedicated training room.

"Master Lu, I'm almost there."

In the underground parking lot of the clubhouse, Lu Yuan hung up the phone, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the 70th floor.

Because of the revised design of the Dragon-Capturing Gloves, Lu Diaolong wanted to invite Lu Yuan to join the equipment R&D department. Although Lu Yuan refused, Lu Diaolong still agreed to tailor-make a Lord-level piece of equipment for Lu Yuan.

Since it was tailor-made, Lu Yuan naturally had to cooperate.

I made an appointment with Lu Diaolong a few days ago to go to the Equipment R&D Department today.

Besides Lu Diaolong's side, just a few days ago, Lu Yuan also received a message from Lin Xiangjun saying that the previous data had been tested and new formula data was needed.

Lu Yuan agreed to communicate with "Old Liang" and proceed with the next phase of the experiment as soon as possible.

With research and development of equipment on one hand and drug testing on the other, it's easy to imagine that Lu Yuan will be quite busy in the coming period.

Fortunately, he has successfully opened his eighth martial meridian, which allows him to breathe a little easier for a short time.

As for the ninth martial meridian, which is also the final level of the meridian opening realm, even with Lu Yuan's talent and the assistance of the Tao Te Ching, it would probably take at least a year and a half.

After the Tao Te Ching is completed, its true effects will only begin to appear when one reaches the Star Core Realm. However, even half of the Tao Te Ching will still provide assistance to those at the Meridian Opening Realm.

"Come here, Xiao Lu."

As soon as Lu Yuan arrived at the laboratory on the 70th floor, Lu Diaolong enthusiastically pulled him to the side of the instruments.

"Take a look, what kind of equipment do you want?"

The numerous blueprints on the instrument are precisely the various lord-level equipment developed by Lu Diaolong.

Although it is tailor-made, there must be a direction and goal before that.

After determining the direction and target, it is best to use a certain piece of equipment as a base and then make adjustments based on Lu Yuan's situation.

"So many."

Lu Yuan was astonished; there were over a hundred pieces of equipment.

Although he was an outsider, he could imagine how much effort it would take to develop a piece of equipment.

Lu Diaolong has actually developed so much; he truly deserves to be the chief equipment master of the Starry Sky Hall and a leading figure in the equipment research and development field of Chongming Base City.

And I can't help but think that Lu Diaolong probably spends all his time on equipment research and development.

Lu Yuan flipped through the list; it was a dazzling array of equipment, including offensive, defensive, and support types, as well as cold weapons like swords and shields, firearms, and other strange and wonderful items.

"I want a knife."

After a moment, Lu Yuan stopped and said something.

In fact, he had already made up his mind about this piece of equipment.

"A battle sword."

Lu Diaolong looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Lu, you have a good eye for choosing."

"What? Is it very troublesome?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback and quickly said something.

"Then I'll choose another one."

"No, no, no! It's the battle sword!"

Lu Diaolong waved his hand, then rubbed his hands together, looking very eager.

"The battle sword is wonderful; its great skill lies in its simplicity, its profound truth in its simplicity. The simpler something is, the more it tests the craftsmanship. Especially the battle sword, which has been used by humans since the dawn of weaponry, has undergone millions of years of refinement. I'm also very curious to know what breakthroughs are still possible in the field of battle swords!"

"Uh, okay."

Seeing Lu Diaolong's growing enthusiasm, Lu Yuan nodded somewhat awkwardly.

I originally thought that knives were a relatively simple weapon, but who would have thought that they would be such a big challenge for Lu Diaolong? It felt like he had just gotten the job.

But it doesn't matter, all Lu Yuan wants is a good knife.

"Here, take a look at these first."

Next, Lu Diaolong found all of his battle sword works.

From the time he first entered the industry until now, a total of twelve battle knives have been engraved with his "Master Lu" mark.

Not satisfied with that, Lu Diaolong then found some battle sword blueprints. These were all other people's works. Although Lu Diaolong didn't think much of most of them, there were still one or two that had some merit.

We can learn from the experiences of others and use them as a reference for Lu Yuan.

"Let me see."

Lu Yuan nodded and looked at them one by one.

"No rush, take your time."

Lu Diaolong stood to the side with a kind smile on his face, then pointed to the screen.

"Xiao Lu, what do you think of this knife? Take a look at the design of the spine."

"Huh? Oh."

Lu Yuan was taken aback. He simply thought the knife was quite beautiful, so he looked at it for a little longer than usual. He had no idea about its structure or design.

In order to avoid missing anything, I immediately activated the Mysterious Tattoo and analyzed the knife.

"Indeed, the curvature is 0.03 points larger, but that's not the point. The point is the blade..."

After the analysis, Lu Yuan felt reassured and then began to speak eloquently.

Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Lu Diaolong nodded repeatedly. When Lu Yuan mentioned some solutions, especially those that only required slight adjustments to achieve the effect of turning something rotten into something magical, Lu Diaolong's eyes lit up.

Overjoyed, he realized that tailoring equipment specifically for Lu Yuan was absolutely the right thing to do!

For the rest of the day, Lu Diaolong and Lu Yuan studied the design of the knife together.

As for crafting equipment for Lu Yuan, the material gathering isn't over yet.

"Master Lu, let's call it a day."

With the afternoon workday almost over, Lu Yuan was really at his breaking point.

These crazy researchers, once they start, never stop.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow."

Lu Diaolong then realized that it was getting late, smiled and said something while looking at Lu Yuan.

"Xiao Lu, are you alright?"

"no problem."

What else could Lu Yuan say? He nodded with a wry smile.

Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. This lord-level custom equipment wasn't so easy to obtain.

However, it doesn't matter. It doesn't cause Lu Yuan any loss. In fact, he can use this method to consume his mental energy and further enhance it.

Moreover, it can further strengthen the relationship with Lu Diaolong!

After leaving the lab, Lu Yuan prepared to go back, thinking about going to play some magic with Li Wenxiu that night.

"Um?"

Before we even reached the underground parking lot, the elevator suddenly stopped on the 50th floor.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Sun Baoyu and Liu Jingfeng stood outside the elevator. When they saw Lu Yuan inside, they were first taken aback, and then they urged him to leave immediately with anxious expressions.

Lu Yuan frowned. What had happened?
