The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Two days later, Lu Yuan returned to his base.

Xia Banzhu and his team are ready for the final battle.

Lu Yuan gathered everyone together and distributed all the remaining pills he had on him.

A batch had already been distributed, mainly for improving cultivation at various levels. Although the time was short, the dosage was large, and the cultivation of everyone at the Beikan base improved significantly.

What's being distributed now are healing and life-saving pills!

Although once you fall in the beast tide, there is virtually no chance of getting back up, these pills can help you survive even if you only hold on for a few more seconds.

After sending the message, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, since there was nothing more to say at the moment.

"Give me one more."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, Xia Banzhu suddenly reached out her hand to him.

Lu Yuan was taken aback. All the pills that were supposed to be given out had already been given out; there were no other pills left.

"I mean pseudo-nucleic acid pills."

"you……"

Upon hearing these three words, Lu Yuan frowned instantly.

A pseudo-core can directly condense a star core, thus helping a person break through to the seventh star level. However, as a pseudo-core, once this star core is condensed, it is impossible to condense other star cores.

That is tantamount to completely cutting off the future!

Xia Banzhu actually asked him for a pseudo-core. He is so young and he is already a six-star warrior. In the future, let alone seven-star, even nine-star or grandmaster is not impossible.

Once he ingests the fake elixir, he's finished.

"If we can't get through this, what's the point of talking about the future?"

Xia Banzhu smiled at Lu Yuan, her voice still calm.

"Just survive."

"Heh, Lao Xia, I really don't know what to say."

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, then took out a pseudo-core pill.

In fact, Xia Banzhu could have chosen to run away or hide in a shelter, just like Shen Shanli and the others.

But he didn't. He chose to mortgage his future and live or die with the base and Lu Yuan.

That's what it means to share joys and sorrows, and to be best friends through thick and thin.

What else could Lu Yuan say?

If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything.

Xia Banzhu picked up the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Young Master Lu, could you give us one too?"

Immediately afterwards, Lei Tieming and the four assassins also came over, smiling and extending their hands.

Lei Tieming was originally only a five-star general, but with Lu Yuan's large amount of pills, he had just broken through to the sixth star, which met the conditions for using pseudo-core pills.

However, the four assassins were only five-star, and even with the use of pseudo-core pills, they were only six-star.

In reality, the pseudo-core is simply the condensation of a pseudo-core, and it is not only used when advancing from the sixth to the seventh stage.

"Didn't Old Xia say that the first priority is to survive?"

"That's right, survive first."

Lu Yuan smiled and handed each of them a pseudo-core pill.

Lei Tieming and the others swallowed it without hesitation.

"Give us one too!"

The six members of the Nan Dou squad also came over, and even other warriors followed.

"I've already used it, so I don't need to."

Shen Fengxing stood to the side and said with a smile.

"you……"

Looking at the crowd and their burning gazes, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be moved.

My good brother!

"No!"

Immediately afterward, Lu Yuan's expression darkened, and he directly refused.

Although it is a decisive battle, they may not necessarily lose. He cannot completely ruin the future of the North Kan base all at once!

Most importantly, their cultivation level is relatively low, so even if they were to improve by one star, it wouldn't make much difference compared to the entire beast tide.

After refusing everyone's requests, Lu Yuan took out a pseudo-core pill.

"What are you trying to do!"

Xia Banzhu stood to the side, grabbed Lu Yuan's wrist, and looked at him with an extremely serious expression.

"Just survive first."

Lu Yuan smiled and said something casually.

The pseudo-core pill can condense one star core, but in reality, Lu Yuan has an enhanced version that can not only condense a seventh star core, but also an eighth or ninth one!

Of course, no matter which one it is, there can only be one.

Moreover, this pseudo-core pill was specially made for him, or rather, only his strong physique could make it effective.

In fact, Lu Yuan originally wanted to wait until he advanced to the eighth star before using it, at which time he could directly break through to the ninth star and then be able to challenge the innate realm.

But man proposes, God disposes; the beast tide arrived.

In order to protect the base and his good brothers, he had no choice but to take the medication ahead of time.

Condensing the eighth star core!

As for Nine Stars, it seems he'll never achieve that in his lifetime.

"No!"

Xia Banzhu gripped Lu Yuan's wrists tightly with both hands, her expression growing increasingly stern.

"Anyone will do! But not you!"

Why can't I do it?

"With your potential, you'll become a grandmaster sooner or later; you can't let your career falter here!"

"That's for later. Right now, we need to get through this first!"

"No! I won't allow you to ruin yourself like this!"

Xia Banzhu became increasingly agitated, her gaze darting around violently.

"With your abilities, even if the base is destroyed, even if the entire Chongming is destroyed, you might still survive! You can't die here!"

"Boss."

The others were stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to their senses.

They rushed over and, like Xia Banzhu, clung tightly to Lu Yuan.

"No!"

You can't eat this!

"you……"

Looking at the people around him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Isn't this a case of 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires while the common people are forbidden to light lamps'?"

"Alright, everyone, let go."

Lu Yuan sighed softly, his voice not loud, but it left no room for doubt.

"I've made up my mind, and you can't stop me."

"But……"

"No buts. For me, this base, and all of you, are more important than becoming a Grandmaster!"

"us……"

Everyone opened their mouths, staring blankly at Lu Yuan.

After a long while, Xia Banzhu finally let go of her hand.

He knew he couldn't stop Lu Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, the others also let go, looking at Lu Yuan with grief on their faces.

In their eyes, Lu Yuan's image had always been as majestic as a mountain, but now, that mountain had broken him.

"Brothers! Trust me, I won't let you die!"

Lu Yuan grinned at everyone, then tilted his head back and put the pseudo-core into his mouth.

Glug~!

Swallow it.

He stood still, his eyes slightly closed.

Boom!

A moment later, a thunderous roar erupted from Lu Yuan's body.

The eighth star core is coalescing!

Lu Yuan's physique was too strong, and as the saying goes, things naturally fell into place. When he swallowed the pseudo-core pill, the eighth star core also condensed.

"Phew!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

The aura, like a solidified piece of white jade, slowly flew out for about a hundred meters before landing and creating a small crater before dissipating.

"So this is what an eight-star is like. It's definitely different."

He tried clenching his fist, and the change in his body was immediately apparent. A slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap. Although both eight-star and seven-star generals are high-level warriors, their abilities have not changed qualitatively, but the improvement is far beyond what it was before.

Lu Yuan had a feeling that he was now capable of rivaling a grandmaster!
