Lu Yu’s palm strike, while not quite reaching the level of moving mountains and overturning seas, was certainly no ordinary feat!
Having just advanced to the ninth star soul level, he actually displayed a force equivalent to the peak of the ninth star soul, which astonished them.
The Sea of Blood trembled inwardly and shouted loudly, “You dare!”
The voice from the Sea of Blood came swiftly, but Lu Yu’s hand moved even faster.
Boom!
This slap landed on Lu Tianming’s face, but it did not produce a “slap” sound; it was duller, as if a fist had struck his face.
The golden scales on Lu Tianming’s face emitted a burst of golden light, causing his body to involuntarily tremble when he was struck by a palm blow.
The golden scales on his face dimmed, making the vicious light in his eyes even more terrifying!
Slapped in the face—it actually backfired.
All these years, even his parents had never slapped his face. What Lu Yu did was nothing short of humiliating him.
Xue Hai’an felt a sigh of relief.
Only then did he recall that the eighth-level Golden Dragon was actually the pinnacle power of a ninth-level Star Soul.
As long as Lu Yu doesn’t reach the peak of the ninth level, it’s unlikely that a direct attack could injure Lu Yuming!
Lu Tianming had never been hit by Lu Yu like this before.
At Lu Yu’s place, Lu Yu and his mother lived just like the servants.
Now, when Lu Yu hits him, it feels to him like a noble being scolded by a slave, which makes him feel that his dignity is being humiliated.
Lu Tianming bit through his steel teeth, blood streaming from the corners of his mouth as he said, “Never, never has anyone dared to strike me like this. Remember this, Lu Yu. What you have done once, you will never do again. Perhaps you, little bastard, have stumbled upon a stroke of luck that allows you to get through this time, but that doesn’t mean you are better than me. In every way that matters, Lu Yu, you are nothing but a waste of space, and you’ll never surpass me in your entire life.”
Lu Tianming’s voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, eventually becoming almost hysterical as he shouted.
“Genius?” Lu Yu sneered. “Do you actually think you’re a genius?”
Lu Yu took a deep breath, stepped back, and scoffed, “If I told you that I’m not even worth being called a waste, would you believe me?”
Lu Tianming burst into loud laughter upon hearing this and said, “Haha! Lu Yu, stop making me laugh so hard! You actually dare to say I’m not even worth being called a waste? You, someone with only fifty percent compatibility, have the audacity to talk about me? In the past, you were beaten by me, and now even your data can’t match mine. You still dare to call me a waste? If so, then you’re not even worth being called a waste yourself.”
Lu Yu smiled and took a step back, which instantly moved him hundreds of meters away.
The retreat of Lu Yu caused the hearts of Xie Ming and other demon lords to tighten.
“The Sea of Blood” said in a deep voice, “What profound calculations!”
“With the impact of speed combined with power, it will unleash several times more strength than before. In this way, breaking through the eighth-level Golden Dragon Body won’t be too difficult!”
The soul was moved to emotion.
Lu Yu seemed to be more than just a relentless charge on the surface.
Lu Tianming’s laughter grew softer and softer, until finally the faint smile lingered in his throat, unable to produce any sound.
His expression grew increasingly cold and more terrified.
With his first palm strike, Lu Yu tested Lu Tianming’s strength.
This second strike, if combined with speed and power, would be different.
Every step Lu Yu took backward tightened the hearts of the Sea of Blood and Lu Tianming!
Lu Yu stopped when he retreated to a distance of five hundred meters.
Then, Lu Yu’s back arched tightly, and a subtle change began to stir in the aura around him.
Even after passing the gravity test, Lu Yu did not show the slightest fluctuation in his aura.
But now, the fluctuations of power from Lu Yu’s body were growing increasingly intense, his battle will and killing intent surging like a vast ocean, recklessly surging across the land of the Dragon’s Nest!
With every breath, with every moment, this power is surging.
Inside Lu Yu’s body, between the unseen flesh and blood, his heartbeat quickened. The black thread within him wriggled like a black snake.
If someone could see through Lu Yu’s body, they would discover that his entire body is filled with black lines resembling a root system, spreading throughout him like tree roots.
It was precisely the wriggling of these black lines that caused the power within Lu Yu’s body to surge!
Lu Yu’s power increased by five billion when his star soul level reached level nine!
But now, things are different.
The three attributes increased by 50 billion within a single breath, and they were still growing continuously!
Every moment, the surge of power leaves me breathless!
Why is the Killing Star Soul called “Killing”? Because it was born solely for the purpose of killing!
Among the Nine Great Star Souls, Sha Lu is known as the most warlike. This is precisely because its power increases and grows through battle.
When reaching the ninth level of the Star Soul, the Slaughter Star Soul was also completely unlocked.
Once the will to fight arises, the Killing Star Soul will unleash boundless power, elevating the inheritor’s strength to the peak of their current realm.
No matter how many billions or trillions of power differ.
As long as you enter this realm, killing will enhance your power.
Lu Yu’s power surged with each breath, and within several breaths, he had already reached the peak of the ninth-level Star Soul!
Xue Hai’s face turned pale, and he stammered, “Wha-what’s going on? This is the peak of the ninth-grade Star Soul; it’s comparable to the power of an eighth-grade dragon clan member. Combined with speed, this attack is just too terrifying.”
Li Hun’s face darkened, and she wanted to step forward.
He’s now got a lot riding on Lu Tianming and doesn’t want him to die like this!
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he saw Lu Yu, hundreds of meters away, already fixing his gaze on him.
The coldness on Li Hun’s back suddenly surged, and he actually felt the sense of danger as if being watched by a prehistoric ferocious beast. “How could a human have such eyes!” Li Hun’s heart quivered slightly, and the sudden illusion made him feel alarmed.
If Lu Yu were to charge from hundreds of meters away and launch an attack, even he himself wouldn’t dare claim whether he could block that strike or not!
Lu Yu’s power, fighting spirit, and even his murderous intent had reached their peak. He inhaled deeply, then sneered coldly, “An eighty-seven percent compatibility, huh? Do you know there’s a status within the Dragon’s Nest known as a Dragon King candidate?”
As Lu Yu finished speaking, the surroundings instantly fell into profound silence!
Huang Ying and Huo Wu suddenly thought of something, their hearts filled with indescribable excitement.
Huang Ying was so excited that her little mouth opened wide, wanting to gasp and cheer!
The title of Dragon King Candidate holds immense significance within the Dragon Nest.
Several Demon Lords staggered where they stood, feeling as if their hearts had been struck by a colossal hammer weighing millions of pounds.
The Sea of Blood could hardly believe it, exclaiming in astonishment: “He, could he have actually become a Dragon King candidate!”
Xie Ming said, “What do you mean? He’s actually a candidate for the Dragon King? No, that’s impossible! His compatibility rate is only fifty percent!”
The Soul Separation technique murmured, “I’ve heard that once one reaches the level of a Dragon King candidate, they can hide their compatibility score during the compatibility test. Yes, that must be it! Only Dragon King candidates are allowed to move freely throughout the entire dragon clan, not limited to a single area, but all areas except the Dragon King’s domain, without needing any tests. There are absolutely no restrictions. This, this rumor is actually true!”
The words about the wandering soul immediately explained the issue of Lu Yu’s exactly fifty percent compatibility.
Several Demon Lords recalled how easily Lu Yu had passed the test moments ago, which made them even more convinced that Lu Yu very likely met the criteria of a Dragon King candidate. At this moment, besides being shocked, they could not find words to describe their feelings!
Huāgyǐng’s body trembled slightly, somewhat unable to believe what he had just heard.
If Lu Yu is truly a candidate for the Dragon King, he won’t have to worry about the upcoming trials at all.
Lu Yu can move around freely without needing any tests.
A candidate for the Dragon King title is an evaluation given only to those with a compatibility rate of over ninety percent.
Lu Tianming’s compatibility rate of 87% was already the highest in history. However, Lu Yu not only broke this record, but also leaped to become a candidate for the Dragon King.
Not only the first person throughout history, but also the first to reach the level of a Dragon King candidate.
“This person must not be spared!” Blood Sea’s eyes radiated intense murderous intent. He had made up his mind: as soon as he left the Dragon’s Nest, he would kill Lu Yu without hesitation.
Lu Tianming’s eyes were dull, and he also understood that the Dragon King candidate’s compatibility was 3% higher than his.
That three percent represented the gap between him and Lu Yu.
Three percent, he surely wouldn’t be satisfied with that!
Lu Yu looked at Xie Ming and the other demon lords, sneering, “You all place so much importance on a person with merely eighty-seven percent compatibility? Do you really think you’ve already won by choosing him?”
Lu Yu paused, then crooked his finger at Lu Tianming, saying, “You have nothing left to be proud of. In fact, I can make you feel like you’re not even worth the trash!”
Lu Tianming’s eyes were already dazed from the blow, yet he struggled hard to think of resistance.
However, he didn’t know how to use his own strengths to pressure Lu Yu.
He lost! The pride of their perfect compatibility!
At the Dragon Arena, he lost!
Overlapping spaces?
Would that still be useful?
As he spoke, Lu Yu suddenly let out a long, loud roar towards the sky. Amidst the roar, he sternly declared, “In the name of the Dragon Clan’s descendant, I request the Guardian of the Dragon Nest to reveal my level!”
As Lu Yu let out a long roar, the dragon’s nest in the fourth area suddenly began to tremble.
The bodies of all the dragons on the dragon pillars were slightly writhing, and even their eyes were opened. All the dragons roared together, as if celebrating the birth of a king!
At this moment, the giant dragon in front of Baoshan suddenly opened its eyes and spoke in an extremely majestic voice: “Honorable descendant of the dragon race. Your compatibility has reached ninety-seven percent. You, who bear the titles of Dragon Warrior and Sage, have been chosen as the heir to the Dragon King. The Dragon King will await you deep within the Dragon Nest, ready to accept your challenge!”
Silence once again!
The tremors within the dragon’s lair vanished in an instant, yet the dragon’s roar continued to surge like a tsunami, reverberating endlessly within the cavern!
No longer just silence, but a stirring among the lords of darkness!
They have already been profoundly shaken.
Dragon King candidate, this is merely a qualification.
But the Dragon King’s heir, don’t underestimate it just because of a mere 7% higher compatibility.
This represents a kind of honor.
You may enter the Dragon King’s domain and challenge the Dragon King’s warriors. Throughout ancient and modern times, no one has ever surpassed, nor will anyone ever surpass, the first and greatest of all!
Ninety-seven percent compatibility—based solely on this, Lu Yu had already become the second most powerful being in the Dragon’s Nest, second only to the dragons themselves!
Lu Tianming stared with wide eyes, remaining silent for a long time, then suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood!
Lu Tianming could not accept the repeated blows that Lu Yu suffered.
Lu Yu humiliated Lu Tianming again and again, waiting for a long time, enduring for a long time—everything was for this very moment!
He would crush Lu Tianming under his foot and leave him not even a slightest chance to fight back.
Lu Yu only turned to look at Lu Tianming at this moment, roaring in anger: “This is where the difference between us lies. Even if you’re a candidate for the Dragon King, you’re still a level below me! You have no qualifications at all to stand before me!”
Boom!
Lu Yu moved.
He charged forward like a colossal war chariot, leaving a trail of cracked earth and mountains reduced to ashes!
