The conflict started quickly and ended just as fast.
The outcome, however, was beyond everyone’s expectations.
The tall guy is Wang Hai, a third-year physical education major. Although his physical fitness isn’t quite at the level of professional athletes, it’s not far off. He’s not someone who doesn’t know how to fight—he’s actually very good at it!
Lu Yu once faced three thugs alone outside of school. With a single powerful punch, he sent one of the thugs flying five or six meters away, causing a third of the thug’s face bones to collapse. He could even withstand a steel bar as thick as a thumb swung at him, suffering only slight swelling in his arm afterward.
Given his immense strength, it’s easy to imagine how resilient his body is.
But in front of Lu Yu, his so-called powerful punches and physical toughness were useless.
He didn’t even have time to react before being crippled by a severely injured and dying person!
“You, you bastard! All I wanted was a little food!” Wang Hai held his neck, his momentary daze shattered by the pain shooting through his nerves, driving him into a frenzy. He kicked Lu Yu in the stomach with all his might.
Bang!
Lu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and was kicked straight against the wall. A trace of wild laughter flickered across his face as he said, “It’s mine to begin with; I don’t want to give it to you!”
He raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, only to cough up another mouthful of blood-tinged foam.
“If you won’t give it to me, why are you twisting my hand?”
Wang Hai roared in fury; the pain, the wounds, and Lu Yu’s words had driven him to lose his mind.
He raised his foot again, and just as he was about to kick down halfway, he saw the opponent, who was nearly half-dead, actually move once more.
Lu Yu’s two hands gripped Wang Hai’s toes and heel, and he twisted them with force once again.
“Crack!”
Wang Hai cried out in pain, his body trembling as he saw the foot rotating three hundred and sixty degrees. He knew that this foot was now useless.
In the split second before Wang Hai could react—
Lu Yu placed both hands on the ground, his legs swinging in the air, with one of his legs pressing against the side of Wang Hai’s standing knee.
Snap!
Wang Hai’s knee instantly deformed, his calf twisting in a grotesque manner!
In the hall, only Wang Hai’s anguished scream could be heard, a heart-wrenching wail as piercing as the squeal of a slaughtered pig.
Wang Hai completely lost his balance and fell backward, letting out a painful scream as his remaining hand flailed desperately in the air.
The dozen or so college students on the other side stood frozen in place. In just three seconds, it felt to them as if they were watching a movie.
The first thing that came to their minds was – bloody and violent!
In three seconds, the classmate who was just as strong as an ox was now lying on the ground like a dead dog, writhing in pain and only able to let out cries of agony.
That young man’s movements were swift and seamless, as fluid as drifting clouds and flowing water, yet fast and merciless!
“If you scream again, the demon ape will come. If you don’t want me to crush your throat, shut up now.” Lu Yu knelt in front of Wang Hai, his hand gripping Wang Hai’s throat, his voice cold and terrifying.
“You… you’re not human,” Wang Hai said, his voice trembling. He really tried to endure the pain and shut his mouth tightly.
He thought it was a seriously injured person, but it turned out to be a wounded wild animal.
The dying beast is actually this terrifying!
Compared to this person, so-called ruffians aren’t even worth the name of trash.
Lu Yu withdrew his hand and smiled, “Say whatever you want! If I don’t hit hard, I’m afraid you’ll take all the food. Maybe in a few days, I’ll just be a corpse starved to death. I won’t even be human anymore.”
Wang Haigang clenched his steel teeth, unable to utter a single word in response. He indeed wanted to take all of Lu Yu’s food!
Lu Yu sat back down in the corner of the room, his face pale, his breathing heavy and weak. He no longer resembled the monstrous figure who, just moments ago, had disabled a strong man in a matter of seconds.
After this incident, he knew that his injuries were probably even worse.
Lu Yu closed his eyes and checked his body data—
…
Lu Yu: Ordinary human!
Vitality: 42 points – in critical condition, please do not move your body, focus on stopping the bleeding, and wait for recovery!
Maximum life: 200 points!
Attack power: 110 points!
Muscle and Bone: One hundred and ten points!
…
In the defense port of this period, even if you said there was a god, he would believe it!
The human body has already been digitized; it’s just that the Earth hasn’t been formatted yet.
Therefore, he believes that the only way to enhance the combat prowess of the Killing Star Soul is through actual battle!
Every time Lu Yu fought, he could feel a faint expansion of the icy power located at his heart, as if it were slightly growing stronger, though the increase was extremely subtle. After several consecutive battles, his attack power and physical strength had each improved by only ten points.
Lu Yu finally understood how difficult it was to improve one’s basic attributes.
After several recent battles, although his basic attributes hadn’t increased much, he had figured out the interactions between the various attributes.
Your maximum life will increase slightly when recovering from serious injuries. The current maximum life of two hundred has been achieved through several recoveries from severe injuries.
Its function is – when life exceeds one hundred, the value of maximum life can withstand damage. The enemy’s attacks would reduce the life points accordingly, so when life points drop to zero, it might mean death. Lu Yu had tried everything, from bleeding to continuous damage, all capable of reducing life until death.
As for causing fatal injuries to the throat or even the heart, it could result in immediate death!
Attack power represents damage, which should be data from the reconstruction of human strength, but he didn’t have time to verify it.
Tendons and bones represent the resilience of the body. Damage is inflicted only when attack power exceeds the tendons and bones; when tendons and bones are stronger than the attack power, even solid hits land, unless you can sever the opponent’s head, otherwise even severe injuries only result in the base damage of ten points.
Just as Lu Yu was re-bandaging his wound—
Among the other group of students, three girls finally reacted and let out terrified screams.
Lu Yu’s eyes suddenly shot out two cold glances, and he chuckled lightly, “If you want to attract the monster and die together, feel free to keep shouting.”
Three girls hurriedly covered their mouths, trembling with fear.
“You, what you’re doing is against the law,” a bespectacled boy stammered, trembling as he pushed up his glasses, trying to hide the fear in his heart.
“Breaking the law?” Lu Yu sneered. “What about when he tried to rob me just now? Does that count as breaking the law? Look at the situation in Fanggang right now—don’t fucking talk to me about the law. If you think it works, send someone to arrest me!”
The man in glasses twitched his lips, completely at a loss for words after Lu Yu’s sharp retort.
“Can… can we bandage him up a bit?” a girl with a ponytail asked timidly.
“You can save this useless fellow if you want,” Lu Yu said. “But I think even if you heal him, you won’t be able to carry him away. Heehee, perhaps you could use him as bait. If you want to leave the city, you might use him to stuff the魔猿’s mouth. These creatures get very lazy after they’re full.”
“You, you monster,” the girl said, slightly stunned. She hadn’t expected this young man to be so cruel as to say such a thing.
“Devil?” Lu Yu chuckled. “This city is full of devils everywhere. Do you believe that if you walk out alone, within half an hour, you’d want to commit suicide?”
“Please, please stop,” the girl kept waving her hands, her face already drained of color, not wanting to hear Lu Yu continue.
Several girls pulled Wang Hai back and then tried to bandage him up.
But they found that there was no way to get started.
Wang Hai had no external injuries; all the fractures were in his joints.
None of them knew how to reset a joint, so they could only listen to Wang Hai’s continuous painful groans!
A group of people stood pale-faced, watching the young man in the distance with fear.
If Wang Hai hadn’t gone, several other boys had also wanted to rush forward and grab that backpack at that moment. Their hesitation saved them.
Wang Hai, the strongest among them, had become like this; what did that make the others?
They were in Lu Yu’s territory, and Lu Yu was also keeping an eye on them.
Now, Lu Yu’s injuries are still very severe, especially the kick from Wang Hai, which worsened his condition.
If these people were to attack him just for some food, he really wouldn’t be able to stop them in his current condition.
When life drops below one hundred, it regenerates by one point or less per minute. Lu Yu once tried with only 47 hit points remaining; after bandaging his wounds, he recovered to 76 hit points over seven hours of sleep, and most of his wounds had closed up.
If it weren’t for Wang Hai showing up, Lu Yu might have recovered a bit faster. At this rate, it looks like another long night ahead.
“I won’t be able to sleep tonight either!” Lu Yu stared at the group of people across from him and glanced at his backpack.
The men across the way immediately avoided Lu Yu’s gaze, deliberately looking elsewhere.
Lu Yu, unable to move, simply took out a bead from his shirt pocket and began examining it carefully.
The beads were about the size of a cat’s eye, emitting a faint pale blue glow.
Spirit Star Gem – An item that has a certain chance of being obtained from monsters after defeating them.
Looking at the tiny pearl, a slight smile appeared on his face.
There are two ways to level up the Star Soul. One is through cultivation, but that method is very slow.
His star soul has mutated, and during battles, it can undergo slight evolution, perhaps progressing a bit faster. However, the progress is still very slow.
Killing monsters will drop Star Spirit Beads, which contain energy that is exactly what the Star Soul needs.
This energy can evolve the star soul, and as the star soul grows stronger, the basic data can also be enhanced.
When Lu Yu first saw the Star Spirit Pearl, he took it in his hand and examined it carefully, trying to discern exactly what it contained that could enable the evolution of a star soul.
But his smile turned into shock in an instant. He inhaled sharply, his voice trembling as he said, “This light is not right—it’s not the light of the Star Spirit Pearl!”
In Lu Yu’s memory, the Star Spirit Pearl emitted a faint white light, not a pale blue glow.
Although the appearance and size of the bead are extremely similar to the Spirit Star Bead recorded in the ancient texts.
However, the light is different, indicating that the pearl will also undergo changes.
Lu Yu swallowed hard with difficulty and muttered to himself, “Could it be that I’ve really hit the jackpot this time?”
Among the Star Spirit Pearls, there exists a category known as Mutated Star Spirit Pearls.
Killing monsters that possess skills will give a certain chance to drop a Mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
The light emitted by the mutated Star Spirit Pearl differs from that of a normal one, and it has a lower probability of being drawn.
It inherits the effects of the Spirit Star Pearl and may even be enhanced several times. Additionally, when using the Spirit Star Pearl, there is a chance to acquire skills from monsters.
“No wonder, no wonder it felt so difficult to kill that monster earlier,” Lu Yu thought, recalling the battle from earlier that day. His palms were sweating as he wondered if there was any chance he could activate his skill. But this was an opportunity—it all came down to luck now.
