Chapter 179 – Alright, Alright, Again!

The roar of the combat mechanical body’s weapons continued, and the Molybdenum Demon growled lowly.

But this commotion had nothing to do with the many spectators, the new bloods, lurking on the edges of the battlefield.

Most of the new bloods had only one thought in their minds—who is this?

They were a bit confused.

The power of the Molybdenum Demon had already been deeply ingrained in their minds as it had previously destroyed those powerful mechanical bodies as if they were mere blades of grass.

It was a terror that made one’s spine chill and body shiver just from watching.

The true meaning of the “survival” task was perfectly interpreted.

But now…

A person had appeared out of nowhere.

And with a “boom,” he knocked the Molybdenum Demon flying?!

Who is this guy?

He’s incredibly strong!

And… he’s really brave! He actually dared to confront the Molybdenum Demon head-on…

“It’s him!”

On the second floor of the mall building, the bald Teng Xiangqing instinctively took two steps forward when he saw the figure appear in the field.

His fists clenched instinctively, and electric sparks flashed around him…

Finally, he took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the battle.

“Lu Yuan… it’s Lu Yuan…”

Ye Wuqiang and the others also immediately recognized Lu Yuan, and they were momentarily stunned.

For a moment, they didn’t know whether they should rush up to him… or pretend not to know him.

Lu Yuan looked down at Xu Chengying and saw her staring at him blankly.

The Molybdenum Demon had struck hard.

Just now, it had crushed Xu Chengying’s entire lower leg, and her ankle was swollen like a bun.

She had been crying, her face already a mess of smeared makeup, and with the tears, she looked even more like a ghost.

“Did you wait until the last moment on purpose?”

Xu Chengying suddenly came to her senses and looked at Lu Yuan.

“Yes. Who told you to play with your mobile phone during a fight? You needed a lesson.”

Lu Yuan nodded frankly.

In fact, he had just arrived, and originally planned for a dramatic entrance from the sky.

But seeing Xu Chengying almost done for, he hurriedly rushed in with a “wild charge.”

“You…”

Xu Chengying was almost in tears again.

She sent Lu Yuan eight hundred messages every day, and He Jun teased her, calling her a simp.

Lu Yuan never replied, and he even watched her get captured on purpose.

She felt her heartfelt affection was wasted. If she ever interacted with him again, she’d be a fool herself…

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Heavy, hurried footsteps echoed behind them as the Molybdenum Demon broke through the encirclement of combat robots with great momentum.

Lu Yuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with Xu Chengying any longer. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.

Before Xu Chengying could struggle, he swung her in the direction of Ye Wuqiang and the others.

“Stand farther away this time.”

Then he turned around, calmly watching the Molybdenum Demon approach.

“That’s him! He’s the level S new blood! Capture him, and the Yellow Bear’s people will agree to any of our conditions!”

The Bear Man growled from under the Molybdenum Demon’s armpit.

He had triggered the ultimate mechanism of two hundred times gravity while escaping the gravitational field.

He thought this kid would be dead or at least in emergency care by the Yellow Bear’s people.

That’s why he kept holding back the Molybdenum Demon.

Now, seeing him standing there as lively as ever, the Bear Man didn’t know whether to be shocked or delighted.

“It’s him?”

The Molybdenum Demon fixed its gaze on Lu Yuan, sweeping its massive silver arm and sending several mechanical bodies flying as if cutting wheat.

A violent expression appeared on its smooth face, and it nodded.

“Good, saves me the trouble of looking for him.”

The Molybdenum Demon strode towards Lu Yuan.

As the Molybdenum Demon sized up Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was also observing it.

Details about the Molybdenum Demon from the task details flowed through his mind.

“Molybdenum Demon.

New martial arts—Level A+ Silver Erosion Molybdenum Flow Body (Mastery), Level A+ Giga Hydraulic Fist (Mastery)…

Comprehensive strength assessment: Level A+ (ps: higher than ordinary Level A+, extremely dangerous).”

Two Level A+ mastery new martial arts. The former focuses on defense, capable of immunizing most thermal weapon attacks.

The latter focuses on strength, with a maximum explosive force of fifty to sixty tons of boxing power.

Its weakness is speed…

“Judging by the panel data, it seems very strong. If this doesn’t qualify as level S, then what exactly is the standard for someone to be considered level S?”

Lu Yuan’s thoughts wandered as he pondered this, and by the time he snapped back to reality, he noticed it had suddenly darkened in front of him.

He looked up.

He was met with the cold, violent silver eyes of the Molybdenum Demon.

The terrifying pressure felt like a gale, blowing Lu Yuan’s long hair high behind him.

A giant close to two and a half meters tall stood opposite a tall, fair-skinned, and handsome young man with long hair.

This striking scene almost made the surrounding new bloods hold their breath and tense up involuntarily.

However, Lu Yuan’s expression remained calm.

He glanced at the Bear Man hiding under the Molybdenum Demon’s armpit, then looked up at the Molybdenum Demon and spoke:

“I heard you’re quite the fighter?”

The Molybdenum Demon’s jagged mouth split into a silent grin.

Then its eyes suddenly turned ferocious as it raised its hand and brought it down hard towards Lu Yuan.

“Boom!”

A huge muffled sound echoed.

The ground around where Lu Yuan stood, within a radius of four or five meters, shattered. Concrete and tiles flew, and thick dust rose.

The Molybdenum Demon’s strike felt as if it had also landed on the hearts of the many watching new bloods.

Everyone’s heart clenched tightly, and they almost wanted to rush up and clear the dust to see what had happened inside.

Soon enough.

The dust settled, revealing the scene inside.

Everyone saw it clearly, and their eyes froze.

The Molybdenum Demon was still maintaining the posture of bringing its hand down, but its giant silver hand was now suspended in mid-air, firmly held by another large, knuckled, and veined hand.

It couldn’t press down an inch.

“Hu-hu—hu-hu—”

The sound of heavy breathing, like that of a giant beast.

Through the dissipating dust, the fair-skinned, handsome young man with long hair had disappeared.

In his place stood a man nearly 2.2 meters tall, with muscles as solid and knotted as steel rebar.

His presence was like that of a volcanic eruption.

Every breath he exhaled was hot and intense.

Underneath his slightly red skin, it seemed as though molten lava flowed.

His long black hair whipped wildly despite the lack of wind, revealing a twisted, demonic blood-red lotus eye design on his back.

“Huff—huff—”

“I’ve been waiting… for a worthy opponent like you… for a long time!”

In his second rank transformation state, Lu Yuan’s height was nearly on par with the Molybdenum Demon. He stared into the Molybdenum Demon’s slightly astonished eyes and suddenly grinned, showing a mouthful of sharp, white teeth.

The next second…

“Bang!”

The sound of air exploding rang out abruptly.

None of the onlookers saw what Lu Yuan had done; they only saw the massive body of the Molybdenum Demon being blasted backward like a cannonball.

“Boom!”

The ground beneath Lu Yuan’s feet exploded again, with the shattered earth and stone almost ground to powder.

He shot forward like an arrow from a bowstring.

Catching up to the Molybdenum Demon, he threw another punch.

Bright yellow inner strength glowed on his arm.

An intangible white crane’s True Intent hovered coldly above his head.

The state of level 3 [Absolute Concentration] was already activated.

With a basic boxing power of three tons, under the augmentation of his various skills, the instantaneous explosive power of his punch had surpassed fifty tons!

“Boom!”

Accompanied by the sound of a giant hammer striking the earth and the Molybdenum Demon’s roar.

A large silver-white fist and a slightly red smaller fist collided violently.

“Bang—”

Lu Yuan involuntarily staggered back more than ten meters, while the Molybdenum Demon also retreated, though fewer steps than Lu Yuan.

“Good, good, good!”

A glimmer of excitement flickered in Lu Yuan’s eyes, and his face, cold and stern due to his tensed muscles from the transformation, showed intense joy.

He pushed off with his foot and charged forward again.

Due to [Special Exertion], Lu Yuan excelled in overpowering his opponents with brute strength.

All along, he had never encountered an opponent who could match him in sheer power.

Now, he felt his strength was seemingly at a disadvantage?

This unprecedented sensation translated into a mysterious and exhilarating thrill!

Lu Yuan’s fists and feet moved incessantly. The lethal moves of the crane style and Dragon sect alternated in his hands.

After breaking through the Three Body Training Techniques, the [Ten Thousand Refined Crane Bone Technique] naturally upgraded to level 5.

It almost covered his entire body, converging into his fists and feet. Every move seemed to carry the special effects of demonic flames.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A large shopping street had become their battlefield.

Wherever their battle extended, the concrete ground rolled like waves. Streetlights, neon signs, flower beds, sculptures… all shattered, collapsed, and exploded.

The two fought like top-tier heavyweight beasts, every punch and kick landing with ferocity.

The sound of breaking air, the howling wind, the Molybdenum Demon’s roars, and Lu Yuan’s exhilarated breaths…

All intertwined, making the air and earth seem to tremble.

The crowd of new bloods watching were completely stunned.

Smart individuals had already guessed Lu Yuan’s identity.

But what they hadn’t anticipated was that the figure at the top of the ranking, with cumulative points reaching six digits…

The true strength could be this powerful!

Facing the Level A+ Molybdenum Demon head-on!

Moreover…

He appeared to be a pure martial artist!!!

Some even used their task wristwatches to start a live broadcast on the global chat channel.

The entire chat channel exploded.

Various messages flew by in the chat box like a waterfall.

Those new bloods who had distanced themselves from the Molybdenum Demon’s zone, worried about the “survival” task, were now frantically rushing back.

They wanted to witness the outcome of this battle firsthand.

“Good, good!”

Lu Yuan had lost count of how many times he had shouted “good” in his heart.

At this moment, his whole body was surging with energy, as if every cell in his body was ignited.

On the [Martial Artist] professional panel, the experience points of the two body training techniques that hadn’t reached max level were skyrocketing.

The pressure between flesh and flesh, the collision of bones, the super operation of the Five Viscera, the rushing blood…

Combat.

Was the best tempering for the body!

This kind of head-to-head, fist-to-fist combat was almost comparable to Lu Yuan’s cultivation in a hundredfold gravitational field.

“Boom!”

Lu Yuan punched the Molybdenum Demon away.

The terrifying recoil seemed to make the blood-colored lotus eye pattern on his back bloom slightly.

The demonic eye seemed to open just a bit.

Lu Yuan clearly felt his boxing power increasing.

Compared to when he first clashed fists with the Molybdenum Demon, his boxing power had increased by about seven or eight tons, skyrocketing from fifty tons to nearly sixty tons.

The ultimate exertion delved deeper into the potential of his constitution from a single limit break, thereby significantly boosting his boxing power.

“Killer move! [Dragon Moves Through Clouds]!”

At a certain moment, a burst of inspiration flashed through Lu Yuan’s mind, and countless images of You Long’s punches from various angles rapidly flashed by.

With a sudden enlightenment, he threw a punch.

The Spirit Crane True Intent surrounding his body suddenly transformed into a Dragon Form.

On the [Martial Artist] panel, two skill points were simultaneously unlocked, shining brightly!

The bright yellow Ten Thousand Refined Crane Bone Technique flared up intensely, enveloping Lu Yuan’s figure, making him look like a dark cloud moving abruptly.

Within the cloud… there was a dragon soaring!

“Boom!”

This punch landed heavily on the Molybdenum Demon’s massive silver iron fist, making a “bang” sound, like a giant strike on metal.

The Molybdenum Demon, with its 2.5-meter tall massive body, retreated like a thick metal wall, carving two deep furrows in the ground.

It came to a stop several meters away, standing still and silent.

Lu Yuan blinked and looked at his right hand, the one that had just thrown the punch.

He was surprised.

The power of the punch had not only pushed the Molybdenum Demon back significantly but had also made him realize the immense potential within him. The [Dragon Moves Through Clouds] technique had unlocked new levels of strength and precision, making him feel invincible.

That last punch was a culmination of Lu Yuan’s momentum, strength, True Intent, and everything else reaching an absolute peak. He hadn’t expected the Molybdenum Demon to withstand it.

It was truly…

“Good, good, good! Excellent!”

Lu Yuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he twisted his body, ready to charge again.

“Let’s go again!”

But before he could rush forward, suddenly…

“Bang!”

A sound of metal shattering echoed.

Lu Yuan paused, stopping his movement.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

A continuous series of metallic breaking sounds filled the air.

The Molybdenum Demon, standing ten meters away, began to shake violently.

Countless small and large cracks appeared on its silver cast body.

Within a few short breaths, it shattered into a pile of silver fragments on the ground.

Revealed underneath was a mess of red and white, nearly pulverized, twisted flesh and bones…

Finally, with a loud “boom,” it fell straight backward, its heavy body hitting the ground with a resounding thud, causing the earth to tremble.

Lu Yuan was stunned.

For a moment, he couldn’t react.

“How did it just… suddenly die?!”

“Uh…”
