The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Another one!"

Looking at the oasis not far away and the fruit on the big tree in the middle, Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

These oasis creatures can actually produce Star Fruit.

What's the difference between this and a goose that lays golden eggs? I really want to catch one alive and raise it.

However, this kind of beast is difficult to deal with. Even with natural elemental advantage, Lu Yuan can only protect himself at best. It would be difficult to kill it, let alone capture it alive.

Since that's the case, let's stop thinking about it and go straight for the Star Fruit.

As they ventured deeper, in addition to the increasingly hot weather, the number of strange beasts also increased, making the situation more dangerous, and consequently, the number of martial artists decreased significantly.

In reality, of the original three hundred or so people in the secret realm, only about a hundred remain.

They were lucky; no other martial artists had gotten there first.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, not wanting to waste any time, and took a burst of speed!

The next moment, the person had arrived above the oasis and headed straight for the Star Fruit.

Whoosh!

Similar to the previous oasis beast, the trees came to life after spotting their prey. However, the shrubs and weeds on the ground only reached a limited height, unable to reach Lu Yuan. Only that large tree, its broad leaves like giant blades, swept towards Lu Yuan.

"Get out of my way!"

Lu Yuan, who was prepared, let out a loud shout and swept his bladeless hand across 360 degrees.

Ding ding ding~!

When it struck the leaves, it produced a piercing metallic clang, and at the same time, all the leaves were swept away.

"Got it!"

Upon seeing the Star Fruit fully exposed at the top of the tree, Lu Yuan's eyes widened, and he grabbed it directly with his Dragon-Capturing Gloves.

Roar~!

With the Star Fruit stolen, the oasis beast instantly went berserk, and just like the previous one, it closed its mouth like a giant clam and swallowed Lu Yuan whole.

"call……"

Putting away the Star Fruit, Lu Yuan gripped the bladeless battle sword tightly with both hands and exhaled a long breath.

This time, no aura was gathered. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and before the oasis beasts could gather, he slashed fiercely with his sword.

The earth cracked!

Swish~!

The blade, hundreds of meters long and imbued with powerful energy, cleaved the half of the oasis in two like a white line!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan used his explosive step again, shooting out from the cleaved gap like a bullet.

Boom!

After safely escaping, Lu Yuan landed on the ground and heard a loud crash behind him, accompanied by a tremor in the ground.

After being struck by his knife, the oasis beast seemed to have suffered a severe injury, convulsing and writhing violently on the ground.

"efficient."

After glancing at it, Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

Although there is no bleeding, it is still a living being, and physical attacks are not entirely ineffective against it.

The reason why strange beasts are frightening is that humans have no idea about their background or abilities, but as we gradually learn more about them, they are not so scary.

Unfortunately, after so much honing, Lu Yuan's Earth-Splitting Blade Technique still lacked a bit of refinement; the strike just now wasn't a true Earth-Rank low-grade combat skill.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just making a cut.

"snort."

Sheathed his sword, gave a soft hum, and continued on his way.

Half an hour later, we arrived at a location with a high concentration of cosmic energy, but we didn't encounter any more treasures along the way.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it and sat down to cultivate.

There are still ten days left. I should cultivate as much as possible, and with the Star Fruit I just obtained, I might be able to condense my third Star Core!

Every minute and second in the secret realm is precious. The energy of the Star Fruit will not dissipate, so it's the same to use it after you leave.

Moreover, it might be processed into a medicine, thus achieving even better results!

"Um?"

I was meditating quietly when, just over ten minutes later, I saw two figures rushing towards me.

Martial God Alliance!

Judging from their clothing and insignia, the two were indeed warriors from the Martial God Alliance.

Moreover, he has already broken through the Star Core Realm.

In fact, those who have made it this far are basically already warriors.

"Starry Sky Club, please make room."

The two men glanced at Lu Yuan, and seeing that he was alone, they couldn't help but sneer and immediately told him to leave.

Lu Yuan remained seated, ignoring the attention, and continued cultivating, absorbing the surrounding cosmic energy.

"Kid! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

After waiting for more than ten seconds without seeing Lu Yuan move, the two men's faces turned cold, and they rushed forward.

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, the bladeless battle sword already in his hand, and the narrow blade slashed directly!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, just two minutes later, the two men, dragging their heavily injured bodies, fled in a sorry state.

Although they are both warriors, they are only one-star, while Lu Yuan is already two-star!

Moreover, they only have five-patterned star cores, which means they have undergone five body temperings.

Although the Martial God Alliance is the number one martial arts force in Chongming Base City, it is impossible for all of the more than twenty martial artists they sent in this time to be sixth-grade extraordinary combat bodies.

Lu Yuan has a ten-patterned star core and has undergone twenty body temperings!

The difference is like night and day in terms of physical body alone.

Not to mention the two of them, even if there were two more, Lu Yuan could handle them.

Imagine, if he didn't have such strength and confidence, how could Lu Yuan dare to leave alone?

After driving away the Martial God Alliance members, Lu Yuan continued his cultivation.

No one else came here after that. More than an hour later, when the cosmic energy here was running low, Lu Yuan got up and, based on his senses, headed straight for the next place.

This journey is quite long; even at Lu Yuan's speed, it will probably take three or four hours.

Moreover, as they continued deeper into the area, the temperature rose higher and higher.

Even Lu Yuan, with his blazing sun battle physique, had to replenish his fluids.

"The secret realm is indeed extraordinary."

This kind of heat is different from just high temperature. It's not as scorching as fire, but it still takes away more water from the body!

The entire secret realm was like a giant drying machine, with the power increasing the further you went in.

However, given Lu Yuan's physical condition, the impact will ultimately be minimal, so there's no need to worry too much.

Boom!

Less than an hour later, loud fighting sounds suddenly came from not far away.

Where there is conflict, there is bound to be profit to be made!

Lu Yuan stopped, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but smile before turning and running towards it.

Not far ahead, they saw four people fighting in an open space. They were probably in pairs, and all of them were warriors.

By this time, large-scale teams were rare, and most were small teams of two or three people.

Of course, lone wolves like Lu Yuan are rare.

Not far from the four of them, large areas of ore were exposed. Upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly: Xuan Shuang ore!

The additional condition for exchanging the Earth-rank combat skill, Earth Split, is Frost Ore. According to the Starry Sky Guild's internal information, this precious ore is only produced in a certain secret realm.

Later, Lu Yuan obtained a mechanical arm produced by Tianjing Group through Lu Diaolong, and thus did not go to the secret realm.

Unexpectedly, this kind of ore is also found in the D137 secret realm.

Such a large area of ​​Xuanshuang ore must be very valuable; no wonder those four people were fighting so hard.

"strangeness."

While excited, Lu Yuan was also surprised.

Isn't Xuan Shuang ore only found in extremely cold places? This is a desert and Gobi, how come it's produced here?

Who cares?

Lu Yuan knew absolutely nothing about ore. He simply stopped thinking about it and focused his gaze intently on the four men. All he wanted was to get his hands on the ore!
