At the entrance of Fangang Stadium, more than thirty people blocked Lu Yu’s path, asking something with no trace of politeness in their tone.
Their hair was disheveled, clothes dirty, and some even had dried bloodstains on them. They looked like a group of refugees, yet exuded an indescribable aura of murder. Beneath their ragged appearances lay an unmistakable arrogance.
At the entrance of Fanggang Stadium, more than thirty people blocked Lu Yu’s path. Without the slightest politeness, they asked him something.
These people had messy hair, dirty clothes, and some even bore dried bloodstains. They looked like a group of refugees, yet exuded an indescribable aura of murder. Beneath their ragged appearances lay an unmistakable arrogance.
What startled Lu Yu the most was that all of them wielded starseeds—not the crude stone knives or clubs dropped by wolf demons. Some carried the shattered bone hammers of魔人猿, while others held starseeds fused with星灵石. The most common weapons in their hands were genuine starseeds, not the kind monsters used.
“Outsiders!” Lu Yu realized instantly from their tone—another group from another city.
As the thought crossed his mind, one of them impatiently said, “What are you staring at? Just tell us who’s the strongest here. Or if those two are the same person, just nod.”
“Why are you looking for the strongest?” Lu Yu asked.
Did they want to form an alliance?
“You tell me,” the leader of the group smirked. “Don’t we become the strongest once we defeat him?”
“Take us to him. Be quick about it, and we’ll give you a starseed crystal,” one of them said, pulling out a starseed crystal from a pouch slung across his chest like a bandolier. “See this starseed crystal?”
His expression was as if he were a city dweller looking down on a country bumpkin, assuming Lu Yu had never even seen a starseed crystal before.
“I see it,” Lu Yu replied. “So, when you ask who controls the mine, does that mean you’re after it too?”
The entrance to the camp was blocked, preventing people from coming and going.
But many had overheard the conversation.
The group fell silent and watched the commotion unfold.
Whether the strongest was Lu Yu or the man at the mine remained unclear. But it seemed this group had run into someone they shouldn’t have.
The mine and Lu Yu were connected. As for strength, he was probably close to the top.
In this city, Lu Yu was either number one or a close second. These people had clearly asked the wrong man.
“Not bad, you’re pretty clever,” one of them said. “Just don’t waste our time. Just tell us what we want to know.”
“Sorry, I don’t know either,” Lu Yu shook his head, smiling. “You can keep your starseed crystal.”
Lu Yu then tried to walk through the crowd.
“Friend, you don’t even want a starseed crystal?” The man was surprised.
Lu Yu smiled. “Welcome to the city, but I suggest you leave the mine alone. Someone won’t be happy about it.”
“Haha! Who won’t be happy?” one man laughed. “What can he do, even if he’s not happy? If you won’t tell us, I’m sure someone else will.”
“Fine then, go find someone else. I’ve warned you all I can. Whether you end up dying or manage to seize it is up to you.”
Lu Yu waved his hand. “Excuse me, I need to pass.”
As Lu Yu tried to walk past them, two people blocked his path.
“What’s this about?” Lu Yu looked up at them.
“Don’t you get it?” the man in front grinned. “From today on, this place is our camp. You lot can leave.”
With that, the man shoved Lu Yu, pushing him back into the stadium.
The group of dozens followed him inside, and seeing the place, let out exaggerated sounds of approval. “Not bad. Fanggang sure lives up to being a big city, with such complete facilities.”
At that moment, the leader glanced over the camp and saw several women, nodding at his companions.
Clang!
Thirty to forty people drew their weapons.
“From now on, this camp belongs to us!” the leader swung his blade and shouted, “Drop your weapons, starseed pearls, and starseed crystals, then leave.”
Another man shamelessly eyed Lin Ting, Xiao Xiao, and the other women, smirking lewdly. “As for the women, you’ll be staying with us.”
The people in the camp erupted in uproar.
One shouted angrily, “You dare act so cocky with only a few men? You’re asking for death.”
“You fools, causing trouble in Fanggang. Haven’t you died before?”
Everyone remaining in the camp stood up. After Lu Yu’s words, dozens had already left, but more than a hundred fighters remained.
They immediately stepped forward. Three men wielding starseeds came out, saying, “Come on, come on. Do you think we’re afraid? If you’ve got the guts, try us. Let’s see who dies first!”
They had just acquired their starseeds yesterday and were brimming with confidence, eager to show off their strength.
These outsiders were like the perfect opportunity!
As these few stepped out, the outsiders’ faces darkened.
Suddenly, dozens of wolf shadows burst from their bodies, rushing toward the three men.
Wolf Rush—
In an instant, dozens of wolf shadows tore through the men, ripping large chunks of flesh.
One had his neck bitten through, another his chest crushed, and another lost his head.
When the wolf shadows passed and vanished into the distant walls, the three men stood like prey torn apart by a pack of wolves—just broken corpses remained.
“Offensive skills!” The people in the camp were shocked. The ones who had been shouting moments ago fell silent, looking at the outsiders in fear.
In this camp, no one actually possessed offensive skills!
“You want to die, feel free to step up,” a man sneered. “My name is Zhao Ye, and I’m the leader of this team. Tonight, a two-hundred strong squad will arrive behind me. And a third of them have offensive skills. If you don’t want to die, hand over the camp and get lost.”
“You’re bluffing!”
The people in the camp sucked in a breath, hardly able to believe that nearly half of them might have offensive skills.
Seeing the stunned crowd, Zhao Ye sneered, “Hmph, you city people? More like country bumpkins. Now, hand over everything. We’ll come around and collect it. Try to hide anything, and you’ll lose your life.”
With that, Zhao Ye’s men spread out, holding large backpacks, approaching the nearest person with a grin. “Hand over your stuff and leave.”
Some hesitated, and the outsiders immediately swung their starseeds, cutting them down.
In an instant, several people fell.
The campers looked desperately at Lu Yu, trembling as they handed over their things.
If even Lu Yu did nothing, what hope did they have?
“Friend, hand over your stuff. Your bag looks full,” one man stood in front of Lu Yu. “Be a good boy, hand everything over, and you can still earn more.”
At that moment, one of the outsiders approached a woman, grabbing her chest as she handed over her belongings, smirking lewdly. “So big, so soft. I haven’t touched a woman in days. Tonight, you’re mine. Treat me well, and I’ll reward you.”
Lu Yu looked at the man, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. Then, facing the outsider in front of him, he smiled and said, “You’re sure you want my things?”
“You’re nothing special,” the man replied. “The world’s different now. Don’t blame us. We’re all just trying to survive.”
“True, we’re all trying to survive!” Lu Yu nodded with a smile, then his eyes turned bloodthirsty.
The man was still smiling when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Looking down, he saw an arm pierce through his torso.
His vision blurred as he felt his heart clutched and crushed in that hand.
“Bang!”
A crimson mist burst from his body.
The camp fell silent. Half of the dozens of outsiders saw what had happened.
“Someone attacked!” Zhao Ye roared, not expecting anyone to be so foolish.
“Damn it, cut him into pieces!”
“Daring to strike now, he must want to die!”
The outsiders threw away their bags and charged at Lu Yu with weapons in hand.
“Shsh!”
The sound of blades slicing flesh and bone.
“Help! Save me!” someone screamed.
“It’s Wang Wu.” Zhao Ye turned, seeing Wang Wu cut in half at the waist.
The same man who had harassed the woman moments ago was crawling on the ground, trying to reattach his body. Standing beside him was a girl of about fifteen, wearing a backpack and holding a sword. Blood dripped from her blade, and splatters stained her face.
The innocent smile she had shared with Lin Ting was gone, replaced by cold indifference.
“One of the women dared to fight back! Capture her alive. We’ll teach her what it means to wish for death!”
The outsiders were furious.
Most charged toward Lu Yu, while a few went for Xiao Xiao.
“It’s got nothing to do with me. I don’t care. But—” Lu Yu’s face lost its smile. His voice turned fierce. “You wanted to know who the strongest is? Let’s see if you’re worthy!”
Lu Yu stepped forward. Half of the dozens of outsiders released wolf shadows from their bodies, rushing toward Lu Yu.
“Just this much? What makes you think you can challenge me?” Lu Yu sneered, walking forward as the wolf shadows crashed into him.
Bang! Bang!
One after another, the wolf shadows shattered, yet Lu Yu bore not a single wound.
The level-two silver armor could withstand attacks of up to four thousand jin. What were wolf shadows with only a thousand attack power?
“He has silver armor! Stop the Wolf Rush! Use your weapons!” Zhao Ye shouted from behind.
Dozens of weapons were raised.
Boom!
Suddenly, nearly a hundred wolf shadows burst from Lu Yu’s body.
“What?”
“Where did he get so many mutated starseed pearls!” Zhao Ye nearly lost his mind, staring at the swarm of wolf shadows rushing like a massive pack.
After releasing over a hundred wolf shadows, Lu Yu coldly said, “Wolf Rush? You think only you have that?”
…
“Outsiders!” Lu Yu instantly realized upon hearing their tone—another group from another city.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the leader impatiently said, “What are you staring at? First, tell us who the strongest person here is. Or, if those two are the same person, just nod.”
“Why are you looking for the strongest person?” Lu Yu asked.
Were they looking to form an alliance?
The leader chuckled. “What do you think we’re here for? To defeat him, of course. Then we’ll be the strongest, won’t we?”
“Take us to him. Be quick about it and we’ll give you a star spirit stone,” someone said, pulling a glowing star spirit stone from a pouch slung across his chest like a bandolier. His expression was one of condescension, as if regarding Lu Yu as a naive country bumpkin who had never seen a star spirit stone before.
“I see it,” Lu Yu replied. “But what do you mean by asking about who controls the mine? Don’t tell me you’re planning to take it over too?”
The entrance to the camp was blocked, preventing many from coming or going.
However, people nearby had overheard the conversation.
The group fell silent, and the onlookers began watching the spectacle unfold.
Whether the strongest person was Lu Yu or the one controlling the mine remained unknown. But it seemed this group had run into someone they shouldn’t have messed with. The mine was connected to Lu Yu, and the strongest person in the city probably had some connection to him as well. In this city, if Lu Yu wasn’t number one, he was definitely number two.
These people had clearly asked the wrong man.
“Pretty clever,” one of them smirked. “Don’t waste our time. Just answer my question.”
“Sorry, I don’t know either,” Lu Yu shook his head with a smile. “You can keep your star spirit stone.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu tried to squeeze past the crowd.
“Friend, you don’t even want a star spirit stone?” This time, the group was genuinely surprised.
Lu Yu smiled. “I welcome you all to this city. However, I’d advise against targeting the mine. Someone might get upset.”
“Haha, who would get upset?” one of them laughed loudly. “Even if someone is upset, what can they do? If you won’t tell us, I’m sure someone else will.”
“Fine then, feel free to ask others. I’ve given you my warning. Whether you end up dead or manage to seize the mine is up to you.”
Lu Yu waved his hand. “Excuse me, I need to get through.”
As Lu Yu tried to pass through, he found his path blocked by two people.
“What’s this supposed to mean?” Lu Yu looked up at them.
“Don’t you get my meaning?” The man in front grinned. “Starting today, this place is our camp. As for you, you can leave.”
With that, the man shoved Lu Yu backward, pushing him into the stadium. The group of dozens followed him inside. Seeing the surroundings, they let out whistles of appreciation.
“Wow, Fangang really lives up to being a big city. This facility is fully equipped.”
At that moment, the leader scanned the camp with his eyes, noticing several women, and gave a meaningful nod to his companions.
Clang!
Three or forty people drew their weapons.
“Listen up, from today on, this camp belongs to us,” the leader bellowed, raising a large saber. “Drop your weapons, hand over all your star spirit pearls and stones, and leave now.”
Another man’s eyes roamed shamelessly over Lin Ting, Xiao Xiao, and a few other women, smirking lewdly. “As for the women, you can stay with us.”
The people in the camp immediately erupted in anger.
One shouted, “You dare act so arrogantly with just a few men? You’re asking for death!”
“You fools, coming to Fangang to cause trouble. You must have never died before, huh?”
Those who hadn’t left the camp stood up, having already seen dozens leave after Lu Yu’s earlier words. Still, more than a hundred fighters remained.
Three men stepped forward, gripping their star weapons. “Come on then, think we’re scared? If you’ve got the guts, fight! Let’s see who dies first!”
They had just obtained their star weapons yesterday and were full of confidence.
They were just itching to show off their strength!
These newcomers were the perfect opportunity!
As the three stepped forward, the outsiders’ expressions darkened.
Suddenly, dozens of wolf shadows burst from their bodies, rushing toward the three men.
Wild Wolf Rush!
In an instant, dozens of wolf shadows tore through the three men, biting off chunks of flesh.
One had his neck torn open, another’s chest shattered, and a third lost his head.
When the wolf shadows passed through and vanished against the distant wall, the three men stood there like torn-apart corpses.
“Offensive skills!” The people in the camp were shocked. Those who had been shouting moments ago fell silent, fear in their eyes as they looked at the outsiders.
In this camp, no one actually possessed offensive skills!
“You want to die, feel free to step forward,” one of the outsiders sneered. “My name is Zhao Ye, and I’m the leader of this squad. Tonight, a two-hundred strong unit will arrive. Among them, a third possess offensive skills. If you value your lives, hand over the camp and get lost.”
“You’re bluffing!”
The campers inhaled sharply. Could it really be true that nearly half of them had offensive skills?
Seeing the stunned expressions, Zhao Ye sneered. “Hmph, you call yourselves city folk? You’re nothing but ignorant country bumpkins. Now, hand over all your belongings. We’ll collect them one by one. Try to hide anything, and you’ll lose your life.”
With that, Zhao Ye’s men scattered, each carrying large backpacks as they approached nearby campers, smirking. “Hand over your stuff and scram.”
Some hesitated, and the outsiders immediately swung their star weapons, cutting them down.
Within moments, several people lay on the ground.
The campers looked desperately at Lu Yu, some trembling as they handed over their belongings.
If even Lu Yu didn’t act, what hope did they have?
“Friend, hand over your stuff. Your backpack looks full. Must have a lot in there,” one of the outsiders stood in front of Lu Yu. “Be a good boy, hand it over, and you can still go out and earn more.”
At that moment, one of the outsiders approached a woman. As she handed over her belongings, he reached out and grabbed her chest, smirking lewdly. “Big and soft. It’s been days since I’ve touched a woman. You’re mine tonight. Please me well, and I’ll reward you generously.”
Lu Yu looked at the man, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam. Then, facing the outsider in front of him, he smiled. “Are you sure you want my stuff?”
“You don’t seem special,” the man replied. “The world has changed. Don’t blame us—we’re all just trying to survive.”
“True, we’re all trying to survive!” Lu Yu nodded with a smile. Suddenly, his calm expression turned into a bloodthirsty killing intent.
The man was still smiling when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Looking down, he saw an arm pierce through his ribcage. His consciousness blurred as he felt his heart crushed in Lu Yu’s hand.
“Bang!”
A crimson mist of blood burst from his body.
The camp fell silent. Half of the dozens of outsiders witnessed the scene.
“Someone started fighting!” Zhao Ye roared, shocked that anyone would dare defy them.
“Damn it, cut him into pieces!”
“He must be suicidal to attack now!”
The outsiders threw away their backpacks and charged toward Lu Yu with their weapons.
“Shk!”
The sound of a blade slicing through flesh and bone.
“Help! Help me!” Someone screamed.
“That’s Wang Wu,” Zhao Ye turned at the sound of the voice. It was the comrade who had harassed the woman earlier. Now, Wang Wu was crawling on the ground, trying to reconnect his torso.
Beside him stood a girl of about fifteen, her back to a schoolbag, gripping a long sword. Blood dripped from the blade, and splattered across her face.
The innocent smile she had shared with Lin Ting moments ago was gone, replaced by cold indifference.
“A woman dares to fight back? Capture her alive. I’ll show her what it means to wish for death!”
The outsiders were furious.
Most of them charged at Lu Yu, while only a few headed toward Xiao Xiao.
“It’s got nothing to do with me. I don’t care. But—” Lu Yu’s face was no longer smiling. His expression turned fierce. “You wanted to find the strongest person here? Let’s see if you’re worthy of that title!”
Lu Yu stepped forward. Half of the dozens of outsiders released wolf shadows from their bodies, charging at him.
“Just this? What makes you think you can challenge me?” Lu Yu coldly shouted, advancing step by step as the wolf shadows crashed into him.
Bang! Bang!
One by one, the wolf shadows shattered, yet not a single scratch appeared on Lu Yu’s body.
His level-two silver armor could completely withstand damage up to 4000 strength. The 1000-attack Wild Wolf Rush was nothing.
“That guy has silver armor! Stop using Wild Wolf Rush, attack him with weapons!” Zhao Ye shouted from behind.
Dozens of weapons were raised.
Boom!
Suddenly, nearly a hundred wolf shadows erupted from Lu Yu’s body.
“What?”
“Where did he get so many mutated star spirit pearls?” Zhao Ye and his men nearly lost their minds, watching the massive wave of wolf shadows charging like an entire pack of wolves.
After releasing over a hundred wolf shadows, Lu Yu coldly said, “Wild Wolf Rush? You thought only you had it, didn’t you?”
