The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Huh? What are you using to stab me with?"

A sudden, sharp pain in my head, like being pricked by a needle.

Wu Jianming frowned slightly, but his hands did not stop at all, and he continued to strike Lu Yuan.

"...Doesn't it work?"

Gritting his teeth, Lu Yuan continued to resist, his brows furrowing.

The telekinetic strike was ineffective against Wu Jianming.

No, although it didn't seriously injure Wu Jianming, it did make him feel mental pain, so the psychic stab wasn't useless.

The problem is, the other party is Wu Jianming.

Having fought countless battles and risen from the ashes of carnage, this grassroots individual possesses an extremely tenacious will.

And most importantly, he is now simply repeating simple actions, constantly hacking and striking Lu Yuan.

Even when mentally attacked, this mechanical action can be completed entirely through muscle memory, without any pause or loss of control.

If it were someone else, such as a swordsman like Ye Honglan, who is essentially a skill-based practitioner, they would definitely be greatly affected.

But unfortunately, he encountered Wu Jianming, a reckless brute.

Direct attacks on the mind are useless, and as for the physical force of telekinesis, it is negligible against Wu Jianming's brute strength.

Thus, the telekinetic attack on Wu Jianming failed.

"Should we release Iori?"

Immediately afterward, Lu Yuan pondered in his heart.

Yagami is a near-King-level alien beast, and it is one of his hidden trump cards.

Of course, this trump card was revealed after the incident with the Ye family.

However, that's not important. After all, it's a quasi-king-level beast. What Lu Yuan needs is to help him restrain Wu Jianming.

Even just buying him some time to recover would be helpful.

"eight……"

The situation was getting worse and worse, and Lu Yuan didn't have time to think much before releasing Yagami from his spatial ring.

However, there was no response.

Lu Yuan frowned and tried again, but there was still no response.

What happened?!

"Your giant octopus beast is hidden in your spatial ring, right?"

At this moment, Wu Jianming suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice.

"As your supervisor, let me give you a little more advice: once your cards are revealed, they're no longer your cards."

"What did you do!"

"It's nothing, just a small piece of equipment that temporarily severs the connection between you and that ring."

"Cut off!"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly. Could it really be like this?

It really works.

The so-called spatial equipment is actually the cutting of space in the secret realm to create a dimensional space that can be used for storage.

This space is not actually located inside a small ring; the ring or the watch are merely controllers that connect these spaces.

Since that's the case, it can naturally be cut off.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is virtually impossible to cut off someone else's spatial equipment.

But don't forget, Lu Yuan's ring was made with the help of Lu Diaolong. Although Lu Yuan provided the blueprints, Lu Diaolong had all the parameters of the ring!

Lu Diaolong is a member of the Starry Sky Club.

"Oh."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan gave a bitter smile.

Was I betrayed by someone I trusted again?

However, this is understandable, as Lu Diaolong is not to blame. After all, regardless of his personal relationship with Lu Yuan or how much he values ​​Lu Yuan, he is first and foremost a member of the guild.

"hateful!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan didn't have time to think about any of that; his immediate priority was saving his life!

Blood Shadow Escape could be used to escape, but Wu Jianming had anticipated this and thus controlled Liu Yanyan in advance.

In reality, Wu Jianming currently holds more than just Liu Yanyan as a hostage.

Lu Yuan hardened his heart; he could disregard Liu Yanyan's life or death, but he would absolutely ignore them.

What to do!

"puff!"

As he pondered, Wu Jianming's giant axe continued to fall, and Lu Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood, mixed with bits of flesh that he couldn't tell what organs were.

If this continues, he'll only last another two or three hundred blows before he can't take it anymore.

Two or three hundred axe blows, that seems like a lot.

But given Wu Jianming's attack frequency, it would only take a moment.

"Um?"

Just as Lu Yuan was getting anxious, a thought suddenly struck him.

The damage to the body is still deepening, but it seems to be slowing down compared to before.

Did Wu Jianming go easy on them?

No, Lu Yuan could clearly sense that every axe blow from Wu Jianming was equally heavy, down to the exact weight of a single gram, as precise as a machine!

If that's the case, then it must be due to Lu Yuan's health.

The damage to his body is decreasing, or rather, his body is becoming stronger!

Realizing this, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide and then focused his senses to investigate the reason.

The next moment, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Blacksmithing involves repeatedly quenching and hammering iron to remove impurities, thus obtaining a piece of good steel.

The saying goes, "Steel is forged through repeated forging."

Lu Yuan just said that Wu Jianming is a skilled blacksmith.

And now, he is the piece of iron that Wu Jianming is hammering down.

Through Wu Jianming's repeated blows, the body collapsed time and again, only to be rebuilt time and again by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Rebuilding equals rebirth, pure and without a trace of impurity.

This process is like a higher level of body tempering, which can be described as a complete transformation!

In fact, this process had already begun when I was fighting the Lone Wolf Guard.

However, now it's Wu Jianming's turn. He has been accumulating experience little by little, and that's when it started to show.

If it were just a simple transformation, it would only mean an increase in talent, but it's more than that.

As flesh and blood regenerate, Lu Yuan's true energy also merges into it.

If it's just a piece of iron ore, and you keep refining it, you'll only get a piece of pure iron.

Although it is pure, its texture is rather soft.

Truly good steel requires the addition of other elements and materials. This is why metals were used in ancient sword forging.

At this moment, the true energy that has been integrated into the flesh and blood is these materials.

The final result was to forge Lu Yuan into a piece of high-manganese steel!

Each strike from Wu Jianming severely injured Lu Yuan's body, causing his injuries to accumulate. However, at the same time, his body also became more solid after absorbing the true energy.

Thus, although Lu Yuan's injuries became more and more severe, his body also became more and more resilient.

Once a certain limit is reached, the damage caused by Wu Jianming will no longer exceed his self-healing speed, and his life will be saved!

"Huh? Are you having a sudden burst of energy before you die?"

Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Lu Yuan's lips, Wu Jianming couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

Then he frowned slightly.

He vaguely sensed that Lu Yuan seemed to have gotten even harder.

It's like forging iron; it seems that Lu Yuan, this piece of iron, is becoming increasingly difficult to forge.

No, it's not just seemingly so, it's the truth.

Wu Jianming could clearly confirm the force transmitted by the recoil.

If this continues, things might not look good.

The problem is that Wu Jianming didn't hold back; he used all his strength from the very beginning.

In other words, he cannot further increase his attack power.

"Come on! Let's see who has the last laugh!"

After quickly analyzing the situation, Wu Jianming roared and continued slashing.

What he's gambling on now is whether he can kill Lu Yuan before Lu Yuan becomes hard enough that he can't knock him down!
