The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Hehe, interesting."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's second condition, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The first condition is that a five-star general is indeed more valuable than a five-star general who has been cut into a human stick.

However, this condition is somewhat presumptuous, or even naive.

In contrast, the second condition is much more interesting.

Lu Yuan was clearly gambling with Lei Tieming, yet he wanted Shen Fengxing to participate in the betting.

This is putting things out in the open.

"Okay! I promise you!"

Shen Fengxing looked at Lu Yuan, sneered, and agreed.

It must be said that Shen Fengxing is indeed a remarkable person.

So what if he was exposed on the spot? He might as well confront him directly and make sure to kill Lu Yuan.

Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more; let's just start fighting.

A battle between warriors of the same caliber is extremely destructive. Let alone this small garden where the birthday banquet is being held, if it were left unprotected, it could probably demolish the entire Shen family estate.

A moment later, the two were led to the center of the artificial lake.

There is a ring here with a diameter of 100 meters, which should be enough for two people to compete.

"If you fall off the ring, you lose."

Shen Fuyue gave a final, meaningful look at Lu Yuan.

The meaning is clear: if Lu Yuan is defeated, he can simply jump into the lake and admit defeat.

Shen Fuyue was worried that Shen Fengxing would not wait until the end of the competition, but would instead have Lei Tieming kill Lu Yuan during the competition.

As for the bet he lost, he will find a way to fix it.

After all, a martial arts wager is not irrevocable or unchangeable; it all depends on how it is handled.

After making the arrangements, Shen Fuyue ordered someone to bring in a projector and broadcast the duel between the two directly in the middle of the banquet.

In addition, there were also skilled fighters arranged by Shen Fuyue by the lake to prevent the aftershocks of their fight from affecting the shore.

Most importantly, if Lei Tieming were to attempt to kill Lu Yuan, they could stop him in time.

"Lu Yuan, you should just admit defeat. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble at the beginning."

On the arena, Lei Tieming spoke, his expression solemn.

He felt somewhat guilty about today's bet, as he had no other choice.

"You should just admit defeat. After all, you'll be my subordinate from now on, and I don't want to cripple you."

Lu Yuan smiled, looking relaxed.

You still dare to talk big after you've come this far?

At the banquet, everyone who saw the man couldn't help but chuckle. Regardless of his actual abilities, this son-in-law of the fourth branch of the Shen family certainly didn't lose out in a verbal battle.

Of course, despite his arrogance, as a newly promoted general, his composure in the face of a veteran five-star general demonstrates his impressive mental fortitude.

"Kid, don't blame me then!"

Lei Tieming's face darkened, and the next moment he charged directly at Lu Yuan.

Even if he felt guilty, he had to defeat Lu Yuan today. It was just that Lu Yuan had offended someone he shouldn't have.

Buzz!

Without any hesitation, Lei Tieming arrived and threw a punch at Lu Yuan. The terrifying force caused the air to vibrate and hum.

"Well done!"

Facing Lei Tieming's powerful attack, Lu Yuan did not retreat at all. Instead, his eyes showed a hint of excitement, and he directly met the attack with a punch.

This was his first time facing a mid-level warrior in a one-on-one confrontation, giving him a chance to truly experience the strength of a mid-level warrior.

Bang~!

When the two fists collided, there was a thunderous thud, and the air between them exploded due to the enormous impact.

Then, Lu Yuan stood still, while Lei Tieming took several steps back.

"what?"

Lei Tieming has retired.

Everyone at the birthday banquet was taken aback by this scene.

There's no way a five-star general could be defeated by a one-star general.

In terms of talent, Lei Tieming, though not outstanding, still possesses a third-grade aptitude, meaning he has already undergone fifteen body temperings.

Even those geniuses with extraordinary battle bodies can only temper their bodies six times at the first star level. Even with the assistance of their battle bodies, they are no match for Lei Tieming.

Moreover, according to publicly available information, Lu Yuan only has a first-grade qualification.

"Wait a minute! That kid isn't a one-star general!"

Surprised, someone soon noticed the problem.

After all, most of those who could attend Shen Fuyue's birthday banquet were themselves experts!

Although it is difficult to discern a martial artist's specific level of skill from appearance alone, there are always some clues.

Lu Yuan's display of power just now was truly effortless, far beyond what a novice like a one-star general could achieve.

"It's said that just two or three months ago, he was still in the Pulse Opening Realm, but now he has already condensed two star cores?"

After noticing the clue, everyone was surprised again.

This cultivation speed is just too fast!

"I heard that he has obtained the qualification to enter the D137 Secret Realm. The new secret realm has a lot of residual cosmic energy, so it is not impossible for him to directly advance to the second star."

"That being said, the hidden dangers and the intensity of the competition are also extraordinary."

"Indeed, it seems that this fourth son-in-law is not just a simple gigolo."

The crowd discussed it again, and their opinions had changed once more after seeing Lu Yuan in the video.

"Ha, this kid."

Compared to others, Shen Fuyue, as a master of innate cultivation, naturally saw things more clearly.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. Even he hadn't expected that Lu Yuan was already a three-star warrior!

Just as he knew, she was indeed extremely talented, which was why she was worthy of his precious daughter.

While pleased, Shen Fuyue's gaze darkened again.

That's why he was even more determined not to let anyone harm Lu Yuan!

"But that's not right either. Even if he's already a two-star warrior, he's only stronger than a one-star warrior, still far inferior to Lei Tieming."

"Perhaps Lei Tieming was careless; he was just testing the waters and didn't use his full strength."

"Perhaps. Even if this kid is already three stars, let alone two stars, he's still a small realm below and wouldn't be a match for Lei Tieming."

The crowd continued their discussion. Although they were surprised by Lu Yuan's cultivation level, they still did not believe that he had a chance of winning.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the gap between realms. At the Star Core Realm, those who can defeat an opponent across a minor realm are extremely rare!

"What's going on...?"

The others were unaware of what was going on, but Lei Tieming knew perfectly well that he had intended to knock Lu Yuan out of the ring with a single punch, so he hadn't held back at all.

His full-force punch was no match for a newcomer who had just been promoted to the rank of warrior?

"Kid! That's enough, Tiger Roar Fist!"

Unable to figure it out, Lei Tieming simply stopped thinking about it and charged at Lu Yuan again with a roar.

No matter what, he has to win today!

Roar~!

As the fist was thrown out, the wind from the punch was like the roar of a tiger. A large amount of true energy gathered on the fist and condensed into the head of a fierce tiger with its mouth wide open!

Tiger Roar Fist, a Xuan-rank combat skill.

Before the fist arrived, the wind from it preceded it, causing ripples to spread across the lake surrounding the arena.

"Are they getting serious now?"

Star Core Warriors possess formidable physiques, but this does not mean they have abandoned their true qi. In fact, quite the opposite, true qi is a trump card they deliberately conceal.

It was truly unexpected that Lei Tieming would use his precious true energy so soon after they started fighting.

But then I thought about it again and it made sense. After all, he was only facing a junior general. Why hold back? We should finish him off as soon as possible.

"Let's see how he takes this punch."

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan in the image, a slight smile appearing on their lips.
