The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

The Nandou team has reunited!

But unlike before, Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing are now at the level of generals.

The battle formation requires all members to move in unison. In other words, when forming the Southern Dipper Battle Formation again, Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing need to lower their cultivation levels to coordinate with the others.

As early members of the team, they are now being seen as the ones holding everyone back. Jin Xinxin and Song Pandun are under immense pressure.

However, pressure can be transformed into motivation, making them work even harder to cultivate so that they can break through to the Star Core Realm sooner.

As for the Star Fruit, Shen Qiubing didn't need it anymore, and Lu Yuan didn't leave it for his other teammates either, but used it himself.

It's actually quite understandable, because they are just teammates. Their relationship is indeed closer than that of other martial artists in the club, but not to that extent.

Of course, Lu Yuan is not a heartless person.

Before heading to the secret realm, Jin Xinxin and his friends voluntarily lent him points to help him improve his strength.

Now that he has returned from the secret realm, Lu Yuan is offering rare materials worth several times more as a reward.

With a little effort, these materials can be used to exchange for Earth-rank combat skills!

"Combat skills".

Jin Xinxin and the others have just returned and need to rest; they have no missions for the time being.

Lu Yuan had just broken through to the three-star level, and since haste makes waste, he did not immediately attempt to break through to the fourth star core.

In the huge abandoned warehouse, Lu Yuan drew his bladeless battle sword, stood silently for a long time, and then once again unleashed the Earth-Splitting Sword Technique.

After a long period of practice and extensive real-world experience, this sword technique is nearing completion.

They performed the technique repeatedly for hours on end.

Even with Lu Yuan's physique and internal energy, he was already covered in sweat.

As a Rank 1 combat skill, especially one that relies solely on physical destructive power to reach the Rank 1, its energy consumption is actually even more terrifying.

As he relentlessly practiced this skill, Lu Yuan felt he had grasped the final point of it.

"Earth-shattering!"

Amidst the flashing blades, a sudden shout rang out, and a single slash was unleashed.

A warehouse over 300 meters long was instantly split in two!

Whether it's the messy items in the warehouse, the ceiling, or the floor, everything is neatly divided in two, like a cake that has been cut in half.

"Finally done."

Looking at the slash marks in front of him, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Earth-Shattering Combat Technique is finally complete.

No, looking at the ceiling that had also been cleaved open, Lu Yuan smiled again. After the mysterious tattoo was analyzed and completed, it should be called "Splitting the Genius"!

Not only is its power further enhanced, but its range is also greater, not just limited to the ground.

After taking a slight breath, Lu Yuan spent some more time getting familiar with the place.

Boom!

Moments later, after Lu Yuan left, the already dilapidated warehouse could no longer hold on and suddenly collapsed.

Indeed, training rooms for certain special results are necessary; otherwise, the damage would be far too great.

Imagine, if a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill has such destructive power, what about a mid-grade one?

Having taken 70% of his rare materials, Wu Jianming promised to obtain a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill that could form an array on its own, but there's still no news.

Wu Jianming came to the base a couple of days ago, and Lu Yuan asked about it. He only said that it was still going through the process and told Lu Yuan not to worry.

Lu Yuan's intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.

But since Wu Jianming said so, he could only believe it. After all, apart from Wu Jianming, no one else was willing to help him obtain this mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill.

Ultimately, it's because Lu Yuan lacks foundation and experience.

Although he is now a member of the Star Dou Squad and an elite that the club is focusing on cultivating, in the eyes of those big shots, he is just a lackey who can be driven around at will and fight for their own interests.

The key to a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill is that it can form an array on its own, which is of great significance. How could it be easily passed on to someone like him who is just a commoner?

If they were scions of wealthy and powerful families, they wouldn't have these problems.

"snort."

Lu Yuan gave a soft snort, his gaze deep.

So what if he comes from humble beginnings? As long as he climbs up step by step, he will eventually reach the level of those powerful and influential figures.

At that time, he himself will be a tycoon!

However, both strength and foundation need to be built up gradually; one cannot rush things.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is only twenty-six years old this year. He is still very young and has a future full of infinite possibilities.

The Earth-Splitting Blade Technique is now fully mastered; there's no need to spend any more time practicing combat skills.

As for learning other new combat skills, Lu Yuan has no plans for the time being.

Since that's the case, let's start cultivating the fourth star core.

There was no good solution to the laboratory problem for the time being, so they could not refine the Body Breaking Pill. Lu Yuan decided to try it on his own first. With his talent, he might be able to condense the fourth star core quickly without external assistance.

"Set off!"

As a member of the Star Dou Squad, we will not let cultivation interfere with our missions.

A few days later, the entire team set off again to carry out the mission.

Everything is back on track, just like before.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and in terms of points, the Nandou team is temporarily lagging behind the Beidou team.

The end-of-season competition was scheduled, but it had to be canceled last time because Lu Yuan and Liu Wuji went to the D137 secret realm.

This time it will be at the end of March, which is two months away.

Although the Nandou team worked hard, it still lagged far behind the Beidou team.

The most obvious difference is the number of generals. The Southern Dipper currently has only two, while the Northern Dipper has four.

Besides Liu Wuji, Feng Qi, and Liu Fudi, what shocked everyone was that Li Bufan had also surpassed them and broken through to the Star Core Realm.

Is this kid cheating too?

"Damn it! I'm going to break through! Nobody's going to get in my way!"

As soon as he returned from his mission, Jin Xinxin went to find a place to cultivate.

Song Pan Dun, Tang Guangming, and even Gao Shu, who was already progressing the slowest, all seized every opportunity to cultivate.

Both their own team and Beidou's efforts put considerable pressure on them.

Judging from this trend, it shouldn't be long before they can all break through to the Star Core Realm and advance to the level of Battle General.

Of course, the same is true for the Beidou team. With only three members remaining, they will probably reach full combat general status faster than the Nandou team.

Although Lu Yuan was already a three-star cultivator, far surpassing everyone else, he did not dare to slack off and prepared to cultivate as well.

"I have something to tell you."

Just then, Shen Qiubing suddenly walked over.

Lu Yuan was taken aback. Over the past month, Shen Qiubing's attitude towards him had become increasingly cold. Why was she taking the initiative to contact him this time?

"I'll say it again! Proposing marriage or anything like that..."

Lu Yuan quickly spoke up, afraid that Shen Qiubing would force him to propose marriage to the Shen family again.

"That's not it."

Shen Qiubing interrupted Lu Yuan and spoke directly.

"My grandfather's 108th birthday is in a few days. The Shen family will be holding a big banquet to celebrate. You have to go."

"A birthday banquet?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback. One hundred and eight years old. He had only met him once before and could not tell at all. Tsk tsk, no wonder he is a grandmaster.

Speaking of which, Shen Humeng, as Shen Fuyue's youngest daughter, is not even thirty years old yet. So, when Shen Fuyue gave birth to her, he must have been eighty years old? Tsk tsk, no wonder he is a grandmaster.

"I'm willing to go, but in what capacity?"

Ignoring the gossip, Lu Yuan looked at Shen Qiubing with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

If it's as Shen Qiubing's boyfriend, then he'll go!
