The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Bang~!

With a heavy thud, the air burst open, and many branches and leaves broke off as Zhang Qingfeng was kicked off the tree.

However, he reacted quickly, flipping in mid-air and landing steadily on the ground, thus avoiding any embarrassment.

"I'll go."

After brushing the leaves off his body, Zhang Qingfeng looked at Lu Yuan opposite him and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

"Kid, you've got some nerve. Instead of running away, you actually ran right into me."

"Intermediate martial artist".

Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Qingfeng with a serious expression.

Just now, he attacked suddenly, and Zhang Qingfeng had no time to block. But in an instant, a large amount of true energy burst out from his body, like a barrier, directly resisting Lu Yuan's kick.

The burst of true energy leaves the body, forming a protective aura, which is the mark of an intermediate martial artist.

"To be precise, he is a six-meridian martial artist."

Zhang Qingfeng smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Lu Yuan frowned again, thinking that the other party had opened at most five martial meridians, but he did not expect that there were six, which was already the peak of intermediate martial artist.

Weren't they supposed to be the worst performers in the special operations team? How come they're so strong?

However, Lu Yuan quickly realized that although they were at the bottom of the pack, they were still a special operations team!

You should know that everyone selected for the special operations team is an elite.

Take this training camp for example. Four people were selected, all of whom are already second-tier martial artists, and third-tier martial artists are just around the corner. Opening their fourth martial art and becoming intermediate martial artists will be no problem at all.

"Phew!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan completely abandoned his contempt, took a deep breath, and got into position.

"You really want to fight? Kid, you're getting a bit arrogant."

Zhang Qingfeng smiled slightly, still looking relaxed.

Lu Yuan didn't waste any more words with him. He suddenly exerted force with his feet and took a burst of speed!

The next moment, he appeared in front of Zhang Qingfeng and threw a punch.

"Wow!"

Zhang Qingfeng looked surprised when he saw Lu Yuan suddenly appear in front of him.

When I was sniping from a distance, I noticed that Lu Yuan was running very fast, but I didn't expect him to be this fast. It's practically like teleportation.

What kind of combat technique is this?

Bang~!

There was another muffled thud, and Zhang Qingfeng staggered back two steps, but he was not injured.

Just like before in the tree, although there was no time to block, one could unleash their inner energy, condensing it into protective qi to form a shield.

"Was that a power step you just did?"

Zhang Qingfeng then came to his senses, blinked, and looked at Lu Yuan.

"Wait, brother, how far have you progressed with this low-grade Yellow Rank combat skill?"

"trouble!"

Lu Yuan ignored Zhang Qingfeng, his brows furrowed slightly; this protective aura was really too troublesome.

To defeat Zhang Qingfeng, you must first break through his protective aura!

"Not answering a senior's question is a major taboo in the Special Operations Team. As your senior, I'll teach you the rules."

Zhang Qingfeng snorted coldly, and before he finished speaking, he had already kicked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan remained calm and immediately raised his arm to block.

But to everyone's surprise, after Zhang Qingfeng's first kick was blocked, he went on to kick again, twice, three times...

In an instant, all Lu Yuan could see were Zhang Qingfeng's footprints.

Shadowless Kick!

Yellow-rank mid-grade combat skill!

With practice, one can unleash dozens of kicks in a single second!

Using a gun for long-range sniping is purely for convenience, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Qingfeng is weak in close combat.

Imagine, how could a member of a special operations team really rely on firearms?

Bang~!

Lu Yuan only had two hands, so he couldn't handle it and was quickly kicked.

Fortunately, the Shadowless Kick prioritizes speed, so its power is correspondingly weaker. With Lu Yuan's physique, he was not seriously injured.

But with another kick coming, if you take too many hits, you'll get injured.

Lu Yuan frowned and placed his left arm across his front.

Boom!

A massive shield, two meters high and one and a half meters wide, unfolded, directly separating Lu Yuan and Zhang Qingfeng.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanlai pulled this move, and Zhang Qingfeng frowned, stopping in time.

Although it's only a soldier-level weapon, its strength is considerable. The Shadowless Kick relies on speed, but its power is relatively insufficient, so it can't break through this shield.

Just then, Lu Yuan, shield in hand, charged forward without regard for anything else.

"Kid, what are you thinking about!"

Zhang Qingfeng snorted and kicked out again.

This kick wasn't fast, nor did it use any combat techniques, but it was delivered with full force!

Zhang Qingfeng thought to himself, and directly kicked Lu Yuan over. Although the shield was good for defense, it was not flexible, so he could attack at that moment.

Bang~!

However, Zhang Qingfeng never expected that when he stepped on the shield, he felt a tremendous force like a raging flood. Instead of knocking Lu Yuan over, Lu Yuan lost his balance and almost flew away.

Fortunately, he was agile and managed to regain his footing after taking several steps back.

"You've opened... no, what rank of martial vein do you have, kid!"

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Lu Yuan with a face full of surprise.

He has a third-grade martial vein, and now he has opened five of them, which is equivalent to level fifteen true qi.

He surpasses him in strength, which means that Lu Yuan's true qi level is at least level seventeen or eighteen.

However, he could tell that Lu Yuan was only a low-level martial artist, at most having opened three martial meridians. After all, if he had reached the intermediate level, he could easily protect his body with qi, and there would be no need for a shield.

Doesn't that mean Lu Yuan has at least a sixth-grade martial vein?

Thinking about this, Zhang Qingfeng became even more surprised.

A sixth-grade martial vein is a genius, even within a special operations team.

Moreover, those with a sixth-grade martial vein often possess extraordinary physical qualities.

"This is getting a bit troublesome."

Zhang Qingfeng had thought he was getting a bargain, but it turned out to be quite troublesome. He frowned slightly and his expression became serious again.

"It's my turn again!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan gave a soft shout and charged towards Zhang Qingfeng again.

"Are you playing a game? Turn-based!"

Zhang Qingfeng snorted coldly and quickly dodged.

Although he can protect himself with his protective aura, it consumes a great deal of his true energy. Given the director's nature, this short test won't be over in just one or two days. If he exhausts his true energy too early, he'll be in big trouble later.

"Um?"

But to Zhang Qingfeng's dismay, Lu Yuan was already in front of him in a few flashes.

Their movement speed and agility are far inferior, making it impossible to dodge.

Zhang Qingfeng cursed inwardly. Not only was he a genius with a sixth-grade martial vein, but he had also mastered the Explosive Step technique to such an extent. He was simply a monster.

There was no other way but to unleash his inner energy again to protect himself with protective qi.

"Punch punch!"

Lu Yuan gave a soft shout and still threw a punch.

But unlike before, all the force of this punch is concentrated on a single point on the fist.

Boom!

The moment the fist and the qi made contact, the true qi exploded at that point, with a power no less than that of a high-explosive bomb.

Bang~!

Zhang Qingfeng's trusted protective aura shattered instantly, and the next moment, a gust of wind from his fist lashed out like a waterfall, heading straight for Zhang Qingfeng.

"...Damn it!"

Zhang Qingfeng's eyes widened in horror, and he cursed, only able to raise his arms to defend himself with all his might.
