Chapter 126 - 126 Higher Than Grand Master?
126 Higher Than Grand Master?
The spent arrow would never return. There was no turning back. The three Great Grand Masters erupted with powerful auras at the same time and attacked Lu Yu together collectively!
“Has this Lu Yu become so powerful?”
The onlookers watching the battle were totally floored. After thinking carefully, they realized in horror that Lu Yu had already risen to such a level in only a year or so. Even the three Grand Masters had to join forces to be able to fight him.
In everyone’s eyes in Lunan City, the number one expert in Lunan City was City Lord Yan Hong. Henceforth, this title would probably change hands and Lu Yu would become the new title-holder.
A Great Martial Master whispered, “Even if he’s not as good as the City Lord, he’s probably not far away.”
The three Grand Masters surrounded Lu Yu in a three-corner formation, sealing off his escape route.
Seeing this, Lu Yu’s expression was still as calm as ever, but he activated his skills continuously. The Red Lotus Fire Domain instantly shrank, and the temperature rose sharply. In the cracked ground, pillars of fire spewed out. At the same time, thirty times the gravitational force crushed down.
The high temperature and high pressure area formed by the Wind-Fire Calamity instantly squeezed the fiery flames that were spewed out together, almost turning them into liquid, like lava erupting from a volcano.
As the Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed down, numerous fire dragons materialized that charged at the three Grand Masters, intending to devour them.
“Heavenly King’s Spear!”
“Heavenly King’s Incantation!”
This was the first time the three had experienced Lu Yu’s terrifying pressure. Jiang Yunhu’s expression changed drastically. With a loud bellow, the spear in his hand spun out a spear shadow, and ruthlessly stabbed out in a burst of blinding light.
This A-class weapon was called the Heavenly King’s Spear. It possessed a tremendous ability to penetrate defenses. Coupled with the Heavenly King’s Incantation, the West Universe Dojo’s skill famous for its attacking power, its power was even more ferocious.
Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong both got a big shock. They had not expected the dojo master of the West Universe Dojo to conceal his ability so deeply. His strength was probably not inferior to theirs.
Even Lu Yu was shocked. This Jiang Yunhu clearly possessed the strength of an Advance Grand Master, yet he still wanted to pull Qin Jiancheng here to deal with him.
The ray of spear radiance pierced through the fire dragon and struck the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. Jiang Yunhu’s body trembled from the ensuing massive impact and he quickly retreated.
As for Lu Yu, his arm also felt slightly numb. He was stunned inwardly. This Jiang Yunhu was already comparable to a Great Grand Master in terms of strength. Although Lu Yu hadn’t unleashed his full strength, this most basic strength, which was at the Advance Grand Master level, should have been unshakable. Yet Jiang Yunhu was able to make Lu Yu shudder very slightly.
Suddenly, the sound of blades clanging rang out explosively, and a dangerous aura assaulted him. Behind Lu Yu, a saber and sword came slashing towards the back of his head.
Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong attacked Lu Yu from behind. The saber light and sword energy intertwined, exploding with an immense power that was actually able to hold back thirty times the gravitational force.
“Get lost!”
Lu Yu roared loudly and activated the Sky Demon Roar. A gush of sound waves suddenly exploded, whipping up ripples that shook the saber and sword off.
Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong’s bodies suddenly shook violently, and they felt their internal organs getting smashed by a force. Their health vitality churned violently, and they coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
Yet another skill. How many skills did this Lu Yu have?
The two of them exchanged glances. With their years of tacit understanding, they understood each other without the need for verbal exchange. Immediately afterwards, the two figures moved inside the Red Lotus Fire Domain. One released her health vitality while the other released his strength.
Health vitality and strength were rapidly fusing into one. In just a few seconds, their strength rose by more than ten times.
“Lu Yu, don’t think that you’re the only one with multiple skills. Take this!” Gudu Feng shouted menacingly.
His second skill was called Sky Tide, and Mei Chaorong’s skill was White Dew!
The former increased his strength by 90%, while the latter increased her health vitality and transformed it into strength. With the stacking together of the two forces, the strength of the two was multiplied exponentially.
As for Gudu Feng’s Tempest God Saber and Mei Chaorong’s Compelling Waters Sword, one had the ability to severely injure the opponent, resulting in damage that would be increased by 50%, while the other had the ability to suppress the opponent and reduce his recovery ability by 50%.
This combination of skills and weapons caught everyone off guard. Even Lu Yu was surprised.
“Lu Yu, you’re the third person who is able to force us to attack at the same time. You can count yourself very lucky to die under our combined attack.”
Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong gave a cruel sneer. The saber and sword in their hands moved even faster as they went slashing at Lu Yu.
“This is the end for Lu Yu’s skills. He can’t possibly intercept the combined attack from these two experts.”
Through the live broadcast, Lord Ying, who had witnessed this scene, said with certainty and interest, “These two characters are quite interesting. After this, go and recruit them.”
In the world after the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, if an individual wanted to become stronger, the first thing they relied on was their talent, and the second was their connections and resources.
Moreover, as the post-apocalyptic human social system placed emphasis on the second method, its utilization frequency increased.
Lord Ying knew very well that although there were some cultivators with powerful talent, they were limited by the scarcity of resources and could not break through further. It was precisely this kind of people that the Ying family needed to rope in.
Yan Hong nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll arrange it immediately after this battle.”
“City Lord, look…”
At this moment, Qin Cheng pointed at the live broadcast screen with a shocked expression. Seeing this, Yan Hong turned his head and a similar expression spread across his face too.
Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong’s joint attack was suddenly cut off by Lu Yu. Their explosive strength stagnated for a moment and then rapidly decreased. Not only did they return to the state of normal strength, but they also continued to weaken.
Lu Yu sent the two of them flying with a single slash of his saber. They crashed into the wall of the Red Lotus Fire Domain, their bodies covered in blood.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu sliced off Gudu Feng’s left arm with his saber like some divine god. If not for the fact that Gudu Feng had evaded the blow and moved out of the fatal position, his body would have been split in half.
Just as he turned around and saw this scene, Lord Ying’s face darkened. Although he wasn’t as shocked as Yan Hong and Qin Cheng, he was still quite taken aback.
“The combined attack of these two already displays a trace of the power of a Great Grand Master. It’s not possible for this brat to withstand it.”
Lord Ying became speechless. Not only was Lu Yu able to intercept it, but he also instantly injured the two of them seriously. A moment later, he said gloomily, “Unless he’s not a Grand Master but a Great Grand Master.”
These three words hit Yan Hong and Qin Cheng like a ton of bricks.
Yan Hong was well aware of the weight the title ‘Great Grand Master’ carried. Regardless of where he went in the entire Federation, a Great Grand Master was qualified to enjoy the Federation’s high benefits and subsidies for the rest of his life among the ranks of powerful experts.
Moreover, regardless of whether his family members possessed any talent, they would still be able to receive support from the Federation to help them cultivate.
Yan Hong had cultivated for most of his life but had yet to break through to the Great Grand Master realm. What exactly did Lu Yu rely on?
Just as Yan Hong was feeling extremely indignant and jealous, Lord Ying shook his head and said indifferently, “He’s probably not a Great Grand Master at the outset. He must have used some method unknown to everyone.”
Otherwise, it would be too terrifying for a 90-year-old to break through to the Great Grand Master realm, and within a year no less. No one in the entire Federation had ever accomplished this.
