The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Why is it spelled like this?"

Looking at the two teams on the field, Wu Jianming sighed helplessly.

Putting aside the aftereffects of the bloodshed, there were at least seven or eight people seriously injured on the field at this point!

It was just a regular end-of-season match, yet it escalated to this point. These young people are truly a headache.

Fortunately, everything should be over by now.

Wu Jianming smiled again, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"We won."

Lu Yuan placed the stone block heavily on the ground, stood up, and, together with the other members of the Nan Dou team, helped each other to Bei Dou.

"As per the bet, all previous grudges are wiped clean!"

"We respect the bet and will fulfill the wager."

Liu Wuji spoke, his expression solemn but his gaze calm.

The other members of the Beidou team did the same, without saying much.

"That's right."

Wu Jianming walked over, smiled, and patted both shoulders.

"Beidou and Nandou are both part of the same family and should be as close as brothers. In the future, we should compete healthily and live together peacefully."

"Let's forget about the 'brothers' thing."

Liu Wuji snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The other members of Beidou followed suit, making sure to help up the injured Feng Qi and Li Bufan.

Watching Beidou leave, the Nandou team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the two teams could never become brothers, they were at least not enemies.

As I just said, all grudges are wiped clean, and I can finally relax.

"Feng Qi!"

Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice.

"I have just proven to you with facts that Feng Ji's loss to me was not unjust, but his death has nothing to do with me! If you want revenge, you should go find the person who instigated Feng Ji to challenge me."

Feng Qi paused for a moment, but didn't turn around or say anything before leaving with his teammates.

The competition has ended, and the Nandou team has returned.

Then, one by one, they lay down on the bed. Although they had won, they were more seriously injured than the Beidou team.

It took nearly a week for everyone to fully recover, after consuming a large amount of high-level healing potions and receiving 24-hour treatment and care from a professional medical team.

Of course, Lu Yuan was full of energy the very next day.

Compared to Jin Xinxin and the others, Lu Yuan's injuries were actually not that serious. In fact, his modified Bloodlust Combat Technique had minimized the damage to his body.

While waiting for his teammates to recover, Lu Yuan was temporarily unable to carry out the mission, so he cultivated on his own.

As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, one senses the wondrous energy deep within the universe.

As the days went by, this feeling became clearer and clearer.

For example, before he could only "hear" it, but now he can "see" it. And once he can "touch" it, he can collect this energy and begin to condense the star core.

"Set off!"

After everyone recovered, with a strong and clear shout, the Nandou Squad headed straight out of the city.

The mission continues!

The most important thing for the Nandou team right now is to cultivate so that they can break through to the Star Core Realm as soon as possible.

But just as Wu Jianming said at the beginning, as the elite of the Star Dou Squad, they never let missions interfere with their cultivation.

Moreover, compared to ordinary martial artists, warriors, while possessing greater strength, will also face greater challenges and responsibilities. Therefore, they must strengthen their own abilities as much as possible before undertaking such tasks.

Just like building a house, you need to lay a solid foundation first.

Combat skills and equipment are the basic pillars.

All of these can be redeemed through points to some extent, so for the Star Dou Squad right now, earning points by completing tasks is still just as important.

This applies to the entire Star Dou Squad, not just Nan Dou.

Compared to the Southern Dipper, the Northern Dipper team actually began cultivating the Star Core Realm much earlier!

Through special training, Li Bufan has also broken through the ninth meridian and is now in a state of full-scale attack.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, ushering in November.

The arrival of the winter month signifies that the year is drawing to a close.

The Nandou team seized every opportunity to cultivate at the Star Core Realm, even during breaks from missions, but none of them broke through to the Battle General level.

Not to mention the Southern Dipper team, even the Northern Dipper team has yet to achieve a breakthrough.

Becoming a Star Core Warrior is no easy feat.

"I heard that Liu Wuji has already begun to condense a star core."

That evening, on the helicopter returning to base after completing the mission, Tang Guangming suddenly said something.

The others, who had been resting with their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Tang Guangming with slight frowns.

Is the information accurate?

"I'd say it's about 70-80% believable."

"Then it must be true."

After a moment of contemplation, everyone's expressions grew increasingly serious.

Among the six members of the Nandou Squad, Tang Guangming was the most tactful, or rather, the most adept at interpersonal relationships. Therefore, he had the most information channels and was basically responsible for the intelligence gathering work of the Nandou Squad.

He said he "heard it," but he must have actually received intelligence. As for the source of his intelligence, there's no need for anyone to ask. But since Tang Guangming said it was 70-80% credible, the matter can be considered 80-90% certain.

Liu Wuji had actually begun to condense a star core. As the captain of the Big Dipper Squad, even within the entire Big Dipper Squad, Liu Wuji was second to none in terms of both the time it took to advance to the ninth meridian and his talent.

His cultivation progress was the fastest, which was understandable.

But since they are competitors, everyone still felt a lot of pressure upon hearing this news.

After all, Jin Xinxin and the others have only just reached the level of "seeing," while Gao Shu and Tang Guangming are still trying hard to "hear."

In comparison, Lu Yuan is actually making the fastest progress, but it will probably take at least another month before he can "touch" it and begin to condense a star core.

"We must speed things up!"

Lu Yuan closed his eyes again, secretly making a decision in his heart.

He must be the first to condense a star core and advance to the rank of warrior!

In the contest between the Southern Dipper and the Northern Dipper, to truly gain the upper hand, it depends on which side promotes its generals first.

Back at the base, after eating something, everyone immediately began their cultivation.

Clearly, the news that Liu Wuji had begun to condense a star core was putting a lot of pressure on everyone.

It was already night, not the best time for Lu Yuan to cultivate, but he was still much better than others.

After all, he possesses a tenth-grade martial vein and level ninety true qi!

In the past month or so, Lu Yuan has not learned any new combat skills or purchased any new equipment that he needs to familiarize himself with; the only thing he needs to hone is the Earth Splitter.

But it's still about 80-90% there, and the last one or two points that's missing are more about understanding through actual combat than just practicing.

Time was precious, so Lu Yuan decided to continue his cultivation at the Star Core Realm.

Knock knock~!

It was late at night, almost midnight, when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Who could be here so late? You know, this is the Star Dou Squad base, and there aren't many people here usually.

Lu Yuan got up and opened the door. Sure enough, Shen Qiubing was standing there.

"Autumn Ice".

Looking at Shen Qiubing, Lu Yuan felt a secret thrill in his heart.

After that rat infestation, Shen Qiubing reverted to her usual cold attitude. Her sudden visit tonight—could it be that something has changed?

"Come in."

Lu Yuanqiang suppressed his expectations and invited Shen Qiubing into the house.
