The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom!

The next day at noon, with a roar, a golden ripple spread out from the center of the river, radiating for dozens of meters before dissipating.

In the river, Lu Yuan stood up, his fists clenched, and a hint of excitement appeared on his lips.

The third martial meridian has been successfully opened!

A tenth-grade martial vein, multiplied by three martial veins, equals thirty levels of true qi!

Lu Yuan's overall strength has increased significantly as a result. For example, his punching power now exceeds thirty tons!

This alone is enough to make even some low-level Star Core Warriors, let alone ordinary Open Meridian Warriors, struggle to contend with it.

"This kid is getting more and more interesting."

In the monitoring room, Wu Jianming smiled again when he saw Lu Yuan standing in the river.

As the head of the special operations team, all the new recruits' personal information was already on his desk before they even reported for duty, including Lu Yuan.

Among these seventeen documents, Lu Yuan stood out.

A first-grade martial arts lineage is completely out of place with a special operations team known for its elite members.

However, he did indeed rank first in the final test. Of course, due to the incident at the training camp, the final test only lasted half a day, which greatly reduced the reliability of his results.

Finally, the reason Lu Yuan's information was still on Wu Jianming's desk was because Shen Fuyue made a special phone call to him.

As the head of the Special Operations Team, in addition to the formidable strength of the Nine-Star Warriors, over 30% of the warriors in the Star Hall come from the Special Operations Team, which can be considered as their disciples, so his status is self-evident.

Not a grandmaster, but comparable to a grandmaster!

But since Shen Fuyue had spoken up personally, he had no choice but to give him face.

"It seems the old man was right."

Recalling the golden ripples that Lu Yuan had just released, Wu Jianming smiled slightly again.

Shen Fuyue assured him over the phone that Lu Yuan's strength was far more than it appeared on the surface.

Yesterday, Lu Yuan fought Zhang Qingfeng and Liu Fufeng, winning easily and decisively, which already demonstrates this point.

But to Wu Jianming's surprise, Lu Yuan not only opened his third martial meridian during the test, but also generated golden energy fluctuations!

He had never seen such fluctuations before, but one thing was certain: it was definitely an extraordinary physique!

With such an extraordinary physique, it's no wonder he possesses such strength.

But what puzzled Wu Jianming was that if he had an extraordinary physique, why did the test only show a first-grade martial vein?

Or rather, there's something special about this constitution.

"Xiao Shen, what do you think?"

Immediately afterwards, Wu Jianming turned to Shen Humeng beside him.

Shen Humeng maintained her indifferent expression until a moment later, when she finally spoke.

"A martial vein must be at least at the sixth rank or higher; aptitude and belief are irrelevant."

"really."

Wu Jianming nodded. Although he could tell that Shen Humeng had some prejudice against Lu Yuan, what she said was indeed true.

Judging from Lu Yuan's performance in the test alone, it's clear that he has no ambition!

In fact, his ambitions lay elsewhere, but in Wu Jianming's view, anyone whose ambitions lay elsewhere than his special operations team was not considered to have great ambitions.

"A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned; the key is how you train it. Once he's under my wing, I'll mold him into a qualified martial artist sooner or later!"

"I hope so."

Shen Humeng said calmly, clearly not believing it.

Wu Jianming didn't say anything more, and looked at the screen with a confident expression.

After stretching, Lu Yuan went back into the river.

"This feels so good."

Amidst the gently flowing river, Lu Yuan wore an expression of enjoyment.

Although summer has passed, the lingering heat of late summer still lingers. He felt truly refreshed soaking in the cool river water.

Most importantly, safety!

It can both conceal its form and evade thermal imaging equipment.

Lu Yuan planned to stay in the river until he finished eating the food he had stolen from Liu Fufeng. He figured that if he ate sparingly, it would last him two or three days.

The test might be over in just two or three days.

"Let's continue."

Since there's nothing else to do, I might as well continue cultivating.

There are a total of nine martial meridians, and the difficulty of opening each meridian increases with the next. The difficulty of opening three meridians in a small stage is even greater.

Even if Lu Yuan has a tenth-grade martial vein, it wouldn't be something he could accomplish in a short time if he wanted to open this fourth martial vein.

But since I'm idle anyway, I might as well be idle.

Another day has flown by...

By the afternoon of the third day, Lu Yuan was still perfectly fine in the river.

But just as he was about to continue to lie low, a figure suddenly walked towards the river.

In fact, people had been coming to the river to fetch water since yesterday, but Lu Yuan didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, besides food, people also need to drink water, and in comparison, drinking water is actually more important. You can survive for ten days or half a month without food, but you'll die in three days without water.

Lu Yuan quickly shrank below the surface of the water, intending to wait until the person finished drinking and left before coming out.

But to everyone's surprise, the man drank the water and then stayed by the river and wouldn't leave!

After holding his breath underwater for several minutes, even with his vigorous blood circulation, Lu Yuan couldn't hold out for long. With no other option, he adjusted his position, turning his face upwards to expose his nostrils and quietly taking a breath.

Fortunately, the other party did not notice.

"What's going on...?"

But if this continues, we'll be discovered sooner or later. A fight would be one thing, but the real problem is that this excellent hiding place will be exposed.

Just as Lu Yuan was starting to get a little anxious, not only did the man not leave, but another person actually came towards the river.

Lu Yuan frowned; something seemed amiss.

Just as Lu Yuan had predicted, a few urinals were indeed found. Starting yesterday, following Wu Jianming's instructions, water was no longer being provided at the supply point.

There are no fruits in this jungle, so the most direct way to replenish water is through this small river.

In other words, this small river has become an important strategic resource!

Of course, the river runs through the entire jungle and is very long. There are only thirty team members participating in the test, so they can be spread out.

Unfortunately, someone just happened to come to Lu Yuan's place.

And it wasn't just one person.

Soon, to Lu Yuan's astonishment, more than ten people had gathered by nightfall.

"them……"

Ye Qingluan, Li Bufan, Lin Hao, and Lu Yuan also saw familiar faces from the training camp.

Including him, all four people selected from the training camp are here.

Judging from the situation, it seems that these ten or so people have joined forces.

Since Ye Qingluan and the others are there, it's very likely that these ten or so people are all newcomers.

Newcomers teaming up?

"Um!"

Just as Lu Yuan was pondering, a man on the bank suddenly turned his rifle towards the river and pulled the trigger at Lu Yuan's location.

Lu Yuan's eyes widened, and he quickly dodged.

Whoosh!

In this way, the person involuntarily emerged from the river.

"Who goes there!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan's sudden appearance, the others immediately became alert.

Several of them were holding guns and immediately pointed them at Lu Yuan.

"Don't shoot! I'm one of them!"

Lu Yuan quickly raised both hands, looking meek and submissive.

"I'm a newbie too."

"Are you a newcomer too?"

"Lu Yuan!"

While the others remained skeptical, Ye Qingluan let out an excited exclamation.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Qingluan with questioning eyes.

"He is indeed a newcomer; he's one of our classmates from the training camp."

Ye Qingluan offered an explanation, then looked at Lu Yuan with a broad smile.

"We hadn't heard from you all this time. You really were selected for the special operations team!"

"Pah! He's trash, he doesn't even deserve it!"

Lin Hao stood to the side, glanced at Lu Yuan, and spat with venomous resentment in his eyes.
