The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Stop hitting! Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhang Qingfeng, who had just gotten up from the ground, saw Lu Yuan raising his fist and about to rush forward again, so he quickly shouted to stop him.

Besides his basic protective qi, he had other defensive combat skills, but after weighing the options, he realized that instantaneous attacks wouldn't be enough to block Lu Yuan's fist, and there wasn't enough time to charge up the power, since Lu Yuan's explosive steps were too fast.

If that's the case, then why bother fighting?

"Are you admitting defeat?"

Lu Yuan stood still, clenched his fist, and asked a question.

"I give up, I give up!"

Zhang Qingfeng nodded, showing no respect whatsoever for a senior.

Seeing Lu Yuan loosen his fist, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked Lu Yuan over again, frowning as he asked a question.

"What you just did was a straight punch."

"Yes."

"Holy shit..."

Zhang Qingfeng was speechless again. He had seen plenty of punches, which were just strong in impact, but whose punch was like a high-explosive bomb? The wind from that punch was like a flood or tsunami.

This is not only because Lu Yuan has a large amount of true qi, but also because he has mastered the Chongquan technique to an extremely profound level.

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Lu Yuan, his brows furrowed.

First, the explosive step, then the punch; to have mastered both to this level, how much hard work must one have put in?

And how old is this kid? He's been practicing combat skills for several years. He must be practicing every day, all the time. This kid is a monster!

"Since you've already admitted defeat..."

Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Qingfeng and said something indifferently.

"clear."

Zhang Qingfeng looked helpless and held up the Qiming watch on his wrist.

Lu Yuan also reached out and touched it.

Immediately afterwards, half of Zhang Qingfeng's points were transferred to Lu Yuan's side.

"This little bit?"

Lu Yuan glanced at it and saw that he only had 132 points.

As newcomers, everyone starts with 200 points, but Zhang Qingfeng, an old man who has opened five martial meridians, only has 264 points.

"Have you been defeated by others a few times?"

"No! How could that be! You're the first one!"

Zhang Qingfeng was momentarily on the verge of a breakdown. After all, he was an old man, how could he be easily defeated again and again?

Then he sighed softly, again with a sense of helplessness.

"This is after I took down a newbie and stole 100 points from him. You think points are so easy to get? Two hundred starting points, huh? You newbies are all like little fat chickens."

"so."

Lu Yuan nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of the value of points.

Moreover, as the last-place finisher in the special operations team, Zhang Qingfeng's points were already quite tight.

After collecting the points, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at the gun and thermal imaging equipment that Zhang Qingfeng had thrown on the ground earlier.

"What do you want to do!"

Seeing Lu Yuan's bandit-like gaze, Zhang Qingfeng instantly became alert and quickly ran over to hug the equipment to his chest.

"Where did your points go? Don't even think about stealing my equipment! The test rules didn't say anything about stealing equipment!"

"It didn't say we couldn't steal it."

"Wow!"

Zhang Qingfeng was speechless. How did he end up with a bandit?

"I rented this equipment. If I can't return it, I'll have to lose a lot of points!"

"That's none of my business."

"No, brother, we're all going to be members of the special operations team from now on, we're all good colleagues. Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, let me go."

Zhang Qingfeng was truly desperate and begged for mercy.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"It's not impossible."

"Thank you, brother..."

"but."

"Oh my god, there's a 'but' here."

Zhang Qingfeng rolled his eyes, feeling helpless once again.

"Speak, what are your conditions?"

"It's very simple, just tell me about your situation."

"us?"

"The more detailed the information on the veterans participating in this test, including their numbers, cultivation levels, combat skills, and equipment, the better."

"No, brother, you're asking me to be a traitor? If those people find out, how am I supposed to stay in the team after this?"

"I'm sorry then."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, as if he were about to step forward and snatch the equipment.

"No! I'll talk!"

Zhang Qingfeng's expression changed, and he quickly shouted.

As the saying goes, "Better to die a friend than a poor monk."

Following Lu Yuan's instructions, Zhang Qingfeng explained the situation of the other veterans in detail.

That's all I know.

After saying that, Zhang Qingfeng couldn't help but add another instruction.

"Let's pretend we never met, but please don't sell me out!"

Don't worry.

Lu Yuan nodded, then his expression darkened.

"If I find out that you deliberately provided me with false information, this matter won't end so easily."

"Don't worry. I still have that much integrity."

Zhang Qingfeng waved goodbye to Lu Yuan, then grabbed his equipment and quickly ran into the depths of the woods.

He thought he was easy prey, but he'd kicked a hornet's nest. He needs to hurry and find other real easy prey to recover his losses.

Furthermore, he really didn't want to be with Lu Yuan anymore, fearing that Lu Yuan might make some other unreasonable demands later.

"This is really troublesome..."

Lu Yuan stood there, rubbing his chin with his fingers, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

According to Zhang Qingfeng's intelligence, these veterans are indeed formidable; they are all at least intermediate-level martial artists. Except for a few who have only opened four meridians, most have opened five. Of particular note are three who have opened six meridians, and even one who has opened seven!

They were supposed to be at the bottom of the class, but even a high-level martial artist showed up.

Lu Yuan sighed helplessly, and could only say that they truly lived up to their reputation as a special operations team.

Besides their cultivation level, as expected, these people's combat skills and equipment were far superior to those of newcomers like Lu Yuan.

Several of them possessed Xuan-level combat skills!

And everyone has a search device like the one Zhang Qingfeng has, which can perform thermal imaging.

"How can we play like this?"

In Lu Yuan's view, the thermal imaging equipment was the most troublesome.

In this way, he has no way to hide.

unless……

Unless you hide in a place where thermal imaging is ineffective.

A dozen minutes later, in the middle of a small river that runs through the jungle, Lu Yuan slowly squatted down.

By leaving only the area above the nostrils exposed and using the river water as a barrier, it should be possible to avoid detection by thermal imaging.

"You guys go have fun."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly. He decided to stay put here and wait until the quiz was over.

"Phew!"

Feeling a bit bored just sitting there, Lu Yuan sighed and decided to start cultivating.

Having cultivated at home, he should be able to open his third martial meridian soon.

"This newcomer..."

On the edge of the jungle, in a three-story building, in a large conference room, the screens were divided into multiple modules, showing the status of all team members.

As a testing ground, hidden cameras were set up throughout the jungle to monitor every corner.

One of the men, with gray hair and looking to be in his fifties, pointed to Lu Yuan, who was squatting in the middle of the screen, looking smug, and couldn't help but laugh and say something.

"That's interesting."

"To have mastered the explosive step and punch to this level, easily defeating Zhang Qingfeng, he certainly has potential."

A woman who looked to be in her thirties stood next to him, her expression indifferent.

"But unfortunately, he lacked conviction."
