High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

In front of cabin No. 005.

When the two lines of text were projected onto the communication bracelet, Lu Yu could see them clearly.

He was stunned for quite a while.

It was only at this moment that he remembered...

I also have a half-cousin!

of course.

What truly stunned Lu Yu was the text of the communication itself.

"Was this really a message sent by my cousin?"

At this moment, Lu Yu even subconsciously had this thought in his mind.

after all……

In Lu Yu's mind all along, Qin Shiyao was an absolute aloof and arrogant person!

Let alone just to pass the test, even if she were really in a life-or-death crisis, her stubborn personality might not be enough to make her ask for help.

"What's wrong?"

at this time.

Jiang Xueying also snapped out of her reverie, and when she looked over, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

And then...

Jiang Xueying bit her lip, her small mouth pouting slightly.

Hmph—

She knew it!

That seemingly aloof cousin must still be thinking about Lu Yu!

of course.

Although that's what she thought, Jiang Xueying certainly wouldn't say anything more.

"I'll go help first."

After Lu Yu left a message, spatial fluctuations emanated, and his figure vanished into thin air.

Until this moment.

Jiang Xueying stomped her foot with a grumble, a hint of sour resentment appearing on her pretty face.

"You only see her as a younger sister, right?"

"She's just my younger sister, right?"

"Ugh, I can't help but overthink again..."

……

……

Safe House Area 006.

now.

It was a scene of fierce fighting.

boom--

Clang—

This battle was extremely large in scale.

The center of the battlefield.

Qin Shiyao's figure appeared slightly unsteady.

but……

She still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Only by surviving today's beast tide can we enter the depths of the secret realm and obtain our destiny!"

"I absolutely cannot fail here!"

"I can't let my teacher down!"

"I can't either..."

"Being looked down upon by that guy Lu Yu!"

Qin Shiyao whispered each word in her heart.

only……

Even with her strong will, the source energy within her body was gradually being depleted.

after all.

Before her stood a full one hundred peak-level fifth-tier alien beasts!

Her current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the fifth rank!

To some extent.

It's already a miracle that Qin Shiyao has been able to persevere this long.

but……

It's only been a short time since sunrise, and the morning hasn't even passed yet.

After the sunset and the beast tide recedes, there will be an unknown amount of time!

Given Qin Shiyao's condition, it's impossible for her to hold on until then.

Even if she made a breakthrough on the spot, it was to no avail.

The difference in skill and quantity is enormous!

"Oh--"

Qin Shiyao swung her long sword again and again.

The sword light was sharp and fierce.

However, it had no effect on a fifth-tier peak wasteland wolf.

Clang—

Another sword strike.

One of the wolf pounced at Qin Shiyao and was slashed back, but another wolf tore a deep claw mark on Qin Shiyao's back.

hiss--

Qin Shiyao gasped for breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and turned to strike with her sword.

Can……

More and more steppe wolves came rushing in from all directions.

Qin Shiyao's sword moved swiftly.

but……

But gradually, it lost its initial strength.

The source energy within her body is about to be completely exhausted!

But even so.

She gritted her teeth and persevered.

Her gaze occasionally fell on the communication bracelet on her right wrist.

But after just one glance, he quickly looked away.

Seeking help from Lu Yu?

Do not!

She doesn't want to!

Even if she were eliminated today, or even be surrounded and seriously injured by a horde of monsters, she would not ask Lu Yu for help!

And this moment.

In Qin Shiyao's mental space.

The empress, dressed in a purple-gold robe, was also quietly watching this scene.

Her face didn't reveal much emotion.

just.

Her slight head-shaking gesture foreshadowed the outcome of Qin Shiyao's battle.

With Qin Shiyao's current level of skill and strength, it's impossible for her to not last until sunset!

"Foolish apprentice!"

"The path of martial arts is about struggle—struggle against people, struggle against beasts, struggle against heaven and earth!"

"It's just a momentary act of pride and arrogance, yet he'd rather give up the opportunity right in front of him. That's not the mindset of a true champion..."

The Empress's muttering voice rang out.

But Qin Shiyao couldn't hear it.

At this moment, she was still gritting her teeth and desperately holding off the siege of the beast horde.

of course.

The Empress can also take action herself.

Even though she is now just a remnant soul, dealing with these monstrous creatures only requires a single thought.

only……

In principle, the Empress did not want to reveal her existence.

This is not a good thing for Qin Shiyao either.

Because the Empress knew very well that everything within the secret realm was being projected onto the outside world through special means by the secret realm's rules.

"Never mind, never mind."

"This time, I'll give you a push..."

The Empress spoke softly.

next moment.

A trace of soul power, imperceptible to anyone, surged forth.

It landed...

On Qin Shiyao's wristband!

buzz-

A series of subtle, trembling sounds arose.

A communication has been sent!

Qin Shiyao, however, was completely unaware of what was happening.

Now, exhausted, her vision and mind are beginning to blur.

I don't know why.

At this point...

Qin Shiyao suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Scenes from the past even began to surface in her mind—

When she was ten years old, she met Lu Yu for the first time with her mother.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yu."

At that time, Lu Yu, who was also young and inexperienced, greeted him warmly.

"Um."

Qin Shiyao responded coldly, uttering only one word.

Later--

Nine years have passed.

Although the two lived under the same roof, they probably didn't exchange more than ten words in total.

"Yes, we're just strangers..."

"Why would he help me?"

"Jiang Xueying and he were truly childhood sweethearts..."

At this moment, when his source energy was completely exhausted and he could no longer even lift the sword in his hand.

A strange thought arose in Qin Shiyao's mind.

just.

I can't say why.

She still felt it was sour and astringent, as if she had bitten into an unripe green pear on a hot summer day.

but……

That is, in the next moment.

A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Qin Shiyao's originally icy and ashen face.

hum-

In front of her.

Right in front of her.

Strange spatial fluctuations emanated from the space.

A completely unfamiliar yet familiar figure appeared!

This is... Lu Yu!

boom--

Lu Yu didn't say a word more.

He didn't even turn around to look at himself.

He simply looked up quietly and threw a punch.

The fierce wind from the punch instantly shook the surrounding area for miles!

bang——

In front of him.

The pack of wolves in the wilderness, which he had been unable to withstand no matter what, was instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace of their bodies!

This moment.

Time seemed to stand still.

Lu Yu turned around, apologetic smile on his face.

"Sorry I'm a little late."

This moment.

Qin Shiyao's exquisite and perfect face, which was as cold as an iceberg, seemed to be melting for the first time...
