The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

The so-called "battleground" is the vast wilderness outside the village, where you can fight however you want.

At this moment, the village entrance was crowded with men, women, and children. In order to watch this competition, the villagers deliberately did not go out hunting or gathering.

It should be noted that many families in the village had no surplus food. If they didn't hunt or gather, they might go hungry for a day, which shows how much they valued this competition.

Or rather, it reflects the high regard in which Sui Ling was held.

"Lu Yuan."

On the open ground, Shi Kan was already waiting. Seeing Lu Yuan walk over, he said in a deep voice.

"You're a city dweller. If I wanted to kill you, I should do it on the outskirts of the city, not in our village."

"Kill me?"

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and asked a casual question with disdain.

"so what."

"So I'm giving you a chance: leave here immediately and never come back. Unless I encounter you again in the wilderness, I won't kill you."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."

"Then go die."

Shi Kan said one last thing, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent.

According to the village rules, this challenge is not a one-sided affair; it only ends when one side falls.

For the woman he loves, he would get up again even if he fell a hundred times, so it often ended with the death of one of them.

That's why Shi Kan gave Lu Yuan some "kind advice" before they started.

Of course, he wasn't acting out of kindness; it was just obsessive-compulsive disorder. According to his logic, city dwellers should be killed near the city, not on the land of their village.

"You change your tune really fast."

Lu Yuan gave a light snort, then put one hand behind his back.

"I cut off one of your arms before, now I'll fight you with only one hand. How about that, fair?"

"die!"

The blatant humiliation caused Shi Kan to let out a low growl and pounce on them.

For Shi Kan, having his arm cut off by Lu Yuan was a great humiliation, far more painful than the loss of the arm itself.

Having infiltrated the D137 secret realm, Shi Kan was pleased with his promotion to War General, clearly having gained a great deal. So, in less than a year, he was promoted to a two-star War General, becoming the strongest among the younger generation in the village.

It must be said that he is indeed very good, very fast, and especially his beast-like figure makes his overall attacks more threatening.

Unfortunately, she happened to run into Lu Yuan.

As a mid-level warrior, Lu Yuan's physical abilities are not just X-ray vision, but a significant enhancement of his eyesight, thus granting him many abilities such as farsightedness, night vision, and dynamic vision.

Although Shi Kan was moving fast, his trajectory was perfectly clear to him at this moment.

With a smile, he threw a punch.

"!!!"

Just as it pounced close, ready to tear into the stone embankment, it suddenly saw Lu Yuan's fist coming straight at it, and its eyes widened instantly.

There was no fancy punch, but it was so fast that by the time he realized it, it was already right in front of him, and he had no time to dodge.

There was no other way but to instinctively throw a punch in response.

In reality, Shikan's best option was to go all out on defense, but in an instant, his pride led him to choose to fight back.

Bang~!

With a muffled thud, like a thunderclap, the stone embankment flew out like a cannonball.

"This is……"

Seeing the two begin to fight, the crowd, who had been full of excitement just moments before, were stunned when they saw Shi Kan being sent flying and then crashing heavily to the ground.

What's going on?

What happened to the promise of showcasing our village's might and beating up the city dwellers? What happened to the promise of evenly matched exchanges? How come the stone embankment was knocked away in just one blow?

Shi Kan was knocked away!

The strongest man of his generation in their village was sent flying with a single punch.

Everyone snapped back to reality, their eyes wide with shock.

How is that possible!

"How could this be? Could it be...?"

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details; although they are all martial artists, there are differences in strength.

In the eyes of those at the Opening Meridian Realm, Star Core Warriors were all pretty much the same, beings they couldn't contend with.

But only the village's warriors could see the difference in strength between the two men after that punch. In particular, Suiyan, the only intermediate-level warrior, instantly became extremely solemn.

Being able to kill the Black Forest King with a single strike requires at least the strength of a high-level warrior, but he doesn't believe that Lu Yuan, at such a young age, could become a high-level warrior.

Therefore, he always harbored doubts about Lu Yuan's killing of the Black Forest King.

Since he doesn't have the strength to kill the Black Forest King, he might not be a match for Shi Kan.

After all, Shi Kan is not only the strongest of his generation, but also one of the strongest candidates in the village!

Even if those three-star warriors in the village were to fight to the death, they might not be a match for Shi Kan.

As for Suiyan himself, if he were not injured, he could naturally defeat Shikan, but now, he might not even be able to defeat a one-star warrior, let alone Shikan.

However, Lu Yuan just punched Shi Kan away with a single punch!

"Could it be that he didn't resort to any tricks or schemes, but instead killed the Black Forest King through sheer skill?"

Suiyan's pupils suddenly contracted, but then the dark demonic beast appeared again.

No, although Lu Yuan displayed terrifying power, he was not a high-level warrior.

Suiyan's combat strength was greatly reduced, but his insight remained. He could sense that Lu Yuan, like him, was only a mid-level warrior.

Intermediate-level generals do have a significant advantage over novice-level generals, but even so, the opponent is Shikan, so they shouldn't be so easily defeated.

"……hateful!"

Amidst everyone's shock, Shi Kan had already shakily stood up again.

That punch didn't break his bones or tear his flesh; instead, it sent a tremendous force through his entire body.

The massive shockwave left him feeling weak all over, and his mind felt like it had been turned into mush.

Is this the fighting technique of the city's inhabitants? What kind of underhanded tactics are these?

Little did Shi Kan know that this was not a combat technique at all, but simply Lu Yuan's control over his strength when he was in a state of ease.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Shi Kan pounded his head with his fist to forcefully regain his senses, and with a roar, he was about to charge at Lu Yuan again.

But then, in a flash, Lu Yuan appeared right in front of him.

"Lie down for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Shi Kan felt a sudden heaviness in his head and then lost consciousness.

This is……

Seeing Lu Yuan lightly punch the stone ledge, he knocked it down again.

No, it wasn't just knocked down, it was clearly knocked unconscious!

Everyone was shocked again; this competition had completely exceeded their expectations.

This isn't a competition; it's more like an adult bullying a child!

The two sides are so different in strength that they are not even on the same level.

"You're lucky, kid."

Lu Yuan glanced at the unconscious Shi Kan at his feet and smiled slightly.

Given his style of doing things, he would never leave any hidden dangers out of kindness or leniency.

But he had no choice; he had to stay in the village for a few more days and even try to build a good relationship with the villagers. If he killed their village's genius directly, it would likely provoke public outrage, and his plans would all fall apart.

"Great! I knew you could do it!"

Just as Lu Yuan was pondering, an excited cheer erupted, and a girl rushed out from the crowd and hugged Lu Yuan tightly.

"Um?"

Lu Yuan was stunned. He looked down and wondered who this girl was.

He's quite good-looking.
