The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"If you had even half the strength you have when you were cultivating, you wouldn't have only opened three martial meridians by now."

Lu Yuan stood there with his arms crossed, appearing not only relaxed but also showing contempt for Liang Kai.

"To win with words!"

Liang Kai snorted coldly, his gaze fierce.

"No need to wait for the bet to be cashed out, I'll break one of your arms off you in a minute!"

"If you're so capable, you can take both of them."

"You said it yourself."

"Do you have that ability?"

……

Seeing that the two were just arguing and not actually fighting, I noticed that they were just going through the motions.

The audience below curled their lips in disapproval, thinking that all talk and no action, and that they were just cowards and weaklings.

"Are we still going to fight?"

"If you're not going to fight, get down here right now!"

"Yes! Get down here!"

……

Faced with the boos from below, Liang Kai's expression gradually darkened; he was a man who cared a lot about his reputation.

Lu Yuan didn't feel anything until he caught sight of a richly dressed, hawk-beaked, middle-aged man in the crowd. Then, without anyone noticing, he smiled and thought, "They've finally arrived."

In that case, let the show begin.

"Liang Kai! If you're scared, kneel down and call me 'Grandpa' three times, and I might let you go."

"Lu Yuan! You've asked for it!"

After being repeatedly humiliated, Liang Kai could no longer bear it. He roared and charged at Lu Yuan, then threw a punch at him.

Such a straightforward punch elicited a disdainful smirk from Lu Yuan.

He stood still and raised his arm to block.

Bang~!

A punch landed on Lu Yuan's forearm, producing a heavy thud.

Although Liang Kai only has a first-grade martial vein and is usually lazy in his cultivation, he has opened three veins after all, and his punching power can reach three tons!

Such a terrifying collision of forces naturally produced an astonishing spectacle.

The sound alone sent shivers down the spines of ordinary people like Wang Lilai.

However, this is the Heavenly Dome, where the vast majority of people are martial artists, and there are even many generals. In their eyes, it's not much different from children fighting.

What they want to see is just the spectacle of someone chopping off their hands later.

"Weak and powerless."

After blocking the punch, Lu Yuan shook his head and retaliated with a punch of his own.

Liang Kai didn't care and raised his hand to block.

Bang~!

There was another muffled thud, but unlike before, Liang Kai was knocked back several steps.

Power originates from true qi. The amount of true qi is the martial meridian grade multiplied by the number of meridians opened. Although Lu Yuan has only opened one martial meridian, it is a tenth-grade martial meridian. The amount of true qi is ten times that of an ordinary martial artist with one meridian, and it far exceeds that of Liang Kai, who is only a first-grade martial artist with three meridians.

With the added power of the Blazing Sun Battle Body, Lu Yuan's punch had a force exceeding ten tons!

"what?"

Laymen watch the spectacle, but experts see the details; some high-level martial artists or generals were instantly impressed.

Judging from the fluctuations of true energy, Lu Yuan was indeed just a martial artist of one lineage, but the power of this punch was far too great.

Could it be a high-grade martial vein?

If that's the case, it must be at least a fourth-grade martial vein!

After all, Liang Kai is a three-meridian martial artist.

Realizing this, the crowd, who had been uninterested just moments before, became intrigued.

Geniuses are always in the spotlight, no matter where they are.

"What's going on...?"

Holding onto the railing to regain his footing, a hint of surprise flashed across Liang Kai's face.

As the person involved, he was even more aware of the terrifying power of Lu Yuan's punch just now. How could Lu Yuan have such strong power!

Actually, when Liang Kai clashed with Lu Yuan at the Dragon City Hotel last time, he discovered that Lu Yuan was exceptionally strong, even though Lu Yuan wasn't a martial artist back then.

"hateful!"

Although he vaguely sensed that something was wrong, he was now in a difficult situation.

With a slight frown, Liang Kai let out a low roar and charged at Lu Yuan again.

Upon reaching him, Liang Kai suddenly leaped into the air and kicked Lu Yuan in the chest from above.

Heart-piercing kick!

Someone in the crowd quickly recognized the move and nodded in agreement.

Although it's only a mid-grade Yellow Rank combat skill, it seems to have been mastered. The key is the decisiveness; he used the skill even when his strength was insufficient, so he's not entirely a complete fool.

"Go to hell!"

This kick was delivered with all his might, and Liang Kai's face was fierce.

Although for some unknown reason, Lu Yuan possessed extraordinary strength, but having only recently become a martial artist, he certainly hadn't had time to practice combat skills and would definitely not be able to withstand this kick.

After all, he had put in a lot of effort to master this combat skill in order to look cool.

Buzz!

But the next moment, Liang Kai's kick actually went through Lu Yuan's body!

He felt no force at all, as if he had hit nothing. Fortunately, Liang Kai had mastered this combat technique and immediately performed a mid-air flip, which prevented him from falling off the stage.

Looking again now, Lu Yuan was standing a few meters away, seemingly out of nowhere.

"This is……"

Liang Kai opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise, wondering what had just happened.

"An afterimage?"

"It should be a burst of speed."

"A low-grade Yellow Rank combat skill, Explosive Step?"

"That's right."

"Is this combat technique really that fast?"

"Xiao Duanchuan, a general of the Martial God Alliance, is skilled in explosive steps, which can produce afterimages and appear as if he is teleporting."

"But he's a general! He's just..."

Below the arena, a group of martial artists were engaged in a heated discussion.

Liang Kai was completely bewildered, but they could see clearly that just as Lu Yuan was about to be kicked, his figure suddenly dodged away as if by teleportation, leaving only an afterimage in the original spot.

To wield a low-grade Yellow Rank combat skill to this extent is even more astonishing than simply using some Profound Rank combat skills.

"hateful!"

Feeling like he was being played, Liang Kai grew even angrier and was about to charge at Lu Yuan again.

But at that moment, Lu Yuan was already in front of him, leaped up, and threw a punch from above.

The difference was that Lu Yuan didn't use any combat techniques; it was just a regular punch.

In his pupils, Lu Yuan's fist rapidly expanded. Liang Kai's eyes widened, and without thinking, he instinctively raised his arms to block.

Bang~!

With a muffled thud, the air on the entire arena vibrated. Under the enormous impact, Liang Kai could not hold on and knelt down on the arena.

One punch and he's kneeling!

Lu Yuan's face darkened, and then he raised his leg and delivered another downward kick.

"……don't want!"

Having just taken a punch from Lu Yuan, Liang Kai's arms were numb from the shock and he couldn't lift them at all, so how could he possibly block it?

There was no time to dodge; if Lu Yuan's kick came down, his head would probably explode like a watermelon. In terror, Liang Kai couldn't help but shout.

"I give up!"

Whoosh!

The next moment, when Lu Yuan's foot was still three centimeters above Liang Kai's head, he suddenly stopped, and the strong wind he brought made Liang Kai's face sting.

"It stopped?"

"He hasn't even used his full strength yet."

Seeing this, the martial artists below the stage looked astonished once again.

If you were to use your full strength, you wouldn't be able to control it so freely.

The fact that Lu Yuan had held back even with such immense power just now only deepened everyone's shock at his strength.

Among the crowd, the man with the hawk-like beak and hawk-like eyes also showed a look of surprise, gently stroking his thin mustache with his index finger.

"You're giving up already?"

Lu Yuan looked at Liang Kai, who was kneeling there with a deathly pale face, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay, so are you going to chop off your left hand or your right hand?"
