Chapter 209: Transcendence (2)

Xie Ming already knew that Lu Yu was unable to break the Black Robed Man’s one-second record.

Such resilience of the body might be the result of some star soul enhancing the flesh and blood. However, there would certainly be a limit to it; once surpassed, one would become just an ordinary person again.

However, Xie Ming questioned Lu Yu’s abilities, and Huo Wu was certainly not going to be happy about that!

Which woman doesn’t want her man to be strong!

Huowu began to argue back, imitating a hoarse male voice, yet the joy and excitement in her tone were still audible to others.

This did not draw the attention of the other几位魔主; instead, they found it quite normal!

Although the several Demon Lords are in a cooperative relationship, there are still undercurrents of competition and subtle acts of exclusion behind the scenes.

The mysterious person brought by Xie Ming killed someone in one second, so naturally the other Demon Lords were unhappy, and their tones also changed.

When a person’s intrinsic abilities become so profound that even the Xie Ming cannot see through them, it is only natural for the other demonic rulers to experience emotional fluctuations.

However, Hu Wu’s words came from genuine joy and excitement, which, in Xie Ming’s ears, sounded like mockery.

Xie Ming glared fiercely at Huo Wu, his murderous aura enveloping him.

Huowu had already shifted her gaze to Lu Yu at this moment. In the darkness unseen by the crowd, she wore a radiant and dazzling smile!

Phantom Triple Strike failed, his arms trembled, unleashing hundreds of fist shadows.

“Good!” Lu Yu shouted in a deep voice, and without retreating, he charged forward again!

Boom!

Lu Yu struck back, ignoring the hundreds of punches thrown by the phantom, and stepped forward in one stride, entering the shadow of the fists.

His fist pierced through the shadows of punches and landed on the phantom’s chest. Of the hundreds of punches thrown by the phantom, at least half struck Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was thrown into the air by the impact.

Lu Yu twisted his body mid-air, and the moment he landed, he shot forward like a cannonball, hurtling towards the phantom.

The phantom did not dodge or evade, engaging in a direct, unyielding clash without any fancy moves.

Boom!

Two figures staggered backward at the same time.

“Again!” Phantoms and Lu Yu roared in unison, launching themselves forward the moment their feet touched the ground!

“What does this mean!”

Even the shadowy figure was somewhat confused about what Lu Yu intended to do.

Everyone was doing their best to dodge the attacks and avoid getting hit. But why was Lu Yu walking straight into the phantom’s attack!

Even several demonic lords, including Lushu, had icy and menacing looks in their eyes as they stared intently at Lu Yu’s body, trying to discern how a human’s physique could withstand such immense power.

In the air, Mirage’s fists repeatedly struck Lu Yu’s body, each impact exploding with thunderous resonance.

The sky was ablaze with countless azure arrows whistling through the gaps between clenched fists.

Without any ability, relying solely on the strength of the physical body.

However, the resilience of Lu Yu’s physical body had already astonished them greatly!

With the power of an eighth-level star soul, even a ninth-level human would suffer severe injuries if hit in a vital area without armor!

However, Lu Yu was struck by hundreds of punches, some of which were direct hits to vital areas, yet he remained unharmed!

With the ferocity and intensity of the Phantom Fist, even several Demon Lords began to show signs of being moved.

The phantom takes itself as a model, inheriting part of the combat style!

Therefore, Phantom’s attacks will hold nothing back; every punch will be delivered with full force.

Punch after punch came in succession, the momentum as fierce as a ferocious beast in combat, as if capable of splitting the earth and shattering mountains with overwhelming force!

Lu Tianming’s expression was grave as he closely watched the phantom’s attack, murmuring to himself, “If this is truly a projection of Lu Yu’s actual form, then his attacking style hasn’t changed. However, it’s even fiercer and more violent than before!”

“Kill!”

Hundreds of phantom fists descended, their shadows pressing down until the very fabric of space trembled!

The Phantom’s power exceeded Lu Yu’s. This relentless offensive was too fast for Lu Yu to even evade!

But Lu Yu did not even take a step back; within the whirlwind of Phantom’s fists, his blood seemed to boil as if it were about to ignite from deep within his bones.

The Demon Lords clearly saw everything within the fist’s shadow.

The shadow’s punch landed on Lu Yu’s body, leaving not even the slightest mark.

No moves, no tricks, just a straightforward and solid confrontation!

Lu Yu’s fists were no different, as if he had taken the mirage seriously. He swung his arms, sending out waves of fist shadows to clash head-on.

Before the two, clusters of fist shadows collided with each other.

Boom, boom, boom…

In the sky, hundreds of thunderclaps erupted, reverberating through the Dragon’s Nest!

Lu Yu was retreating.

Even a single step backward would instantly be followed by another step forward, forcing the phantom into close combat!

Bang!

The phantom’s fist passed through the shadow of the punch and struck Lu Yu in the abdomen.

Lu Yu’s figure flickered as he endured the blow without retreating. At the same time, he swiftly sidestepped forward, bending his elbow, and delivered a heavy strike to the phantom’s throat!

This is a life-or-death clash, a battle to see who collapses first!

“Oh!”

With a furious roar, the phantom grabbed Lu Yu’s arms and twisted with all its might, attempting to tear them off.

However, Lu Yu reacted faster. Ignoring the risk of his arm being caught, he quickly stepped forward and smashed his head into the phantom’s nose.

Bang!

The phantom shook its head and stepped back, unscathed without a single mark.

Li Hun’s voice sank heavily: “Even the most vulnerable areas have such strong defenses? A body like this seems to no longer belong to humanity.”

You should know that one of the biggest differences between humans and the Demon King is that the physical resilience of demons surpasses that of humans.

Even the Nine Great Star Souls can only rely on their formidable abilities and armor to stand against the Demon Lord.

The human body is not capable of reaching such a level!

However, in this situation, the resilience of Lu Yu’s body began to astonish even the several Demon Lords!

“Boom!”

The phantom’s fist once again pierced through Lu Yu’s arm defense, but this time it transformed from a fist into a claw, gripping tightly around Lu Yu’s throat.

Everyone saw the prominent blue veins on Lu Yu’s throat as his muscles twitched, shaking off the illusory palm.

The attacks of the phantom were fierce, each move aiming to kill, each technique ruthless and merciless.

Yang Lin touched his neck, convinced that he had been hit by that move and would surely die!

Based on this alone, he is not as good as Lu Yu!

“One minute already!” Gao Hong inhaled sharply, “If things keep going like this, and the Phantom can’t break through Lu Yu’s defense, does that mean they’ll just keep this up indefinitely? Five minutes? Ten minutes? Or…”

Li Hun’s voice sank heavily: “A human body can never be this resilient! There must be a limit to his body. Once we break through that limit, he will surely be defeated!”

Sha Lu nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right! Within the star souls of humans, certain parts of their flesh can indeed be tempered to reach a level of physical resilience comparable to that of some demon clans. However, there is definitely a limit to this. Once that limit is reached, injuries are inevitable.”

Lu Tianming’s arrogant expression still hadn’t faded, but his eyes narrowed as he carefully observed Lu Yu’s and the Shadow’s attacks, sneering coldly, “Not bad. Lu Yu has indeed made some progress, but he’s still far from enough.”

In the eyes of Huang Ying, unusual glimmers flickered. Seeing the current moment, she had already exhaled a slight sigh of relief!

Lu Yu and Phantom continued their relentless exchange of attacks, neither side showing any sign of slowing down, their assaults only growing faster and faster!

Three minutes later, it was time to take the test.

Neither Mirage nor Lu Yu showed the slightest sign of yielding.

The Night Demon said, “Judging by this, Lu Yu’s defense should reach its limit within six minutes.”

Li Hun’s expression turned serious as he said, “I think ten minutes is possible too. Anyone who can last ten minutes is already quite impressive.”

Gao Hong and others widened their eyes, finally understanding why Lu Yu was so arrogant in the face of the fierce attack.

Liu Xing inhaled sharply, his heart quaking as he thought, “Fighting like this—it’s completely reckless. If they were at the same level, once Lu Yu launched an attack, there would be absolutely no chance to fight back.”

The battle continues!

The phantom’s fists struck Lu Yu’s body again and again, each impact exploding with a loud crack, yet still unable to break even a single layer of his skin!

A faint killing aura was gathering around Lu Yu.

Within just a few minutes, he also began to feel the pressure brought by the phantom.

After all, when it comes to sheer power, Shadow truly surpassed him!

Sixth minute!

Dozens of phantom punches landed on Lu Yu’s chest, body, and even his head.

However, every punch, despite exploding with a loud crack, still failed to break through Lu Yu’s flesh and skin!

The Night Demon was slightly astonished and said, “What? This isn’t the limit. A human soul at this level shouldn’t be able to reach such a realm!”

Even the Sea of Blood couldn’t help but murmur solemnly, “Could his physical resilience truly rival that of the demonic race?”

They are not afraid of Lu Yu’s strength. No matter how powerful, he is merely a Level 7 human.

What they were worried about was the threat that someone like Lu Yu’s physique could pose to the humans in the upcoming area!

Tenth minute!

The murderous aura around Lu Yu grew stronger, and a formidable fighting spirit began to condense.

This shows that he is taking this battle seriously!

However, the attack from the phantom was still not enough!

The Sea of Blood affirmed, “This isn’t the limit yet—it’s definitely not the power of the Star Soul!”

“Could it actually be the Blood Eye? No, even if it were the Blood Eye, at this level, it’s impossible to reach such a degree!”

“What exactly is it? Or could it be that he has been possessed by an evil force!”

“Ten minutes have passed, and he hasn’t reached his limit yet. With such strength, he’s already above average among humans. However, his defense is definitely comparable to that of a pseudo Demon Lord!”

Several demon lords kept discussing behind him, and they had now begun to take an interest in Lu Yu.

Huang Ying was already激动ly gripping his hands tightly, his eyes sparkling with captivating brilliance!

Huāgyǐng was already so excited that he clenched his hands tightly, his eyes shining with captivating brilliance!

Perhaps the assassination by the Black Cloaks and others represents the power of combat talent.

However—

The power Lu Yu has shown is not his talent in battle.

Since Lu Yu’s attacks had no techniques, each move was a direct and forceful clash, indicating that Lu Yu was using another method to compensate for his lack of combat talent.

Lu Yu is not as capable as Heipao or Lu Tianming, and he doesn’t even have Xiaoxiao’s abilities.

However, his physical body was so powerful that even the Demon Lord was moved.

Xie Ming said in a deep voice: “At least a defense level of a pseudo-Demon Lord is required to withstand an attack from an eighth-grade star soul. A human like this has never appeared before!”

Several魔主 began to ponder through all the abilities in their memories, hoping to find someone who had once possessed such powerful physical strength.

Without a person succumbing to madness, it would be absolutely impossible to possess such incredibly powerful flesh and blood!

Lu Yu’s power has surpassed their understanding!

In the arena, the battle between Phantom and Lu Yu grew increasingly intense.

At the fifteenth minute, neither side was backing down.

The Demon Lords have already confirmed that Lu Yu indeed does not possess a Star Soul or any ability; this is truly the power of flesh and blood.

At that moment, the phantom suddenly shattered in the midst of the attack.

This is the twentieth minute, and there’s still no result; this situation shouldn’t occur.

At this moment, the sudden disappearance of the phantom led several demon lords to believe that something was amiss.

The next moment, a giant dragon coiled around a stone pillar not far away suddenly opened its eyes, and the light from the dragon’s eyes shone upon Lu Yu’s body.

Under the crisscrossing gaze of the dragon’s eyes, two shadows are cast upon the ground.

At the same moment the shadow appeared, the two shadows simultaneously lifted off the ground, their power surging dramatically.

It is somewhat stronger than the phantom power from just now.

When the Sea of Blood sensed the change in power from the shadow, it roared in fury, “He’s treating this test as a cultivation exercise!”

The strengthening of the phantom power also signifies an enhancement of the main body’s strength.

Improving one’s strength through battle is one way for a Star Soul to become more powerful.

Xie Ming’s voice turned deep and heavy: “Among humans, someone who can make the Dragon Clan project two illusions within twenty minutes must certainly rank within the top hundred!”

The Night Demon inhaled deeply and said, “This is no longer an ordinary test; this is a ranking of power within the Dragon Clan!”
