The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Whether building various simulation programs or adapting them to various equipment, a large amount of human data is required. Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing's task is to help the equipment R&D department collect data.

The method is very simple: just wear a rubber suit with a lot of sensor chips and follow the instructions to perform various actions.

You don't even need to leave this room; it's not only relaxing but also safe.

At this point, it must be said that only with Shen Qiubing's influence could one obtain such a task.

It took a total of four days, with 10 points per day, for a total of 40 points.

"That's enough!"

With 1012 points remaining, I can just exchange them for a low-grade Xuan-level combat skill!

Back at his lodgings that evening, Lu Yuan went to his study and turned on his computer. After logging into the Starry Sky Club's internal website and verifying his identity, he could select combat skills, just like he had in the training camp.

"So little..."

The difference is that, with Lu Yuan's current permissions, he can view all Xuan-rank, Huang-rank, and some Di-rank combat skills.

To be honest, this was Lu Yuan's first time checking it out, so he couldn't help but be curious and clicked on the highest-ranking page first.

Surprisingly, the list didn't even fill a single page, containing only a dozen or so combat skills. With such a limited number, there was no need to further categorize them.

Earth-rank combat skills are second only to the legendary Heaven-rank combat skills, so their rarity goes without saying, but surely not to this extent.

As one of the seven major martial arts groups in Chongming Base City, how could the Starry Sky Guild only have a dozen or so Earth-rank combat skills?

Moreover, upon closer inspection, they were all low-grade Earth-rank items.

Lu Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, perhaps his authority was insufficient.

After all, the list currently displayed only included combat skills that he could acquire.

Heaven-rank combat skills only exist in legends. Under normal circumstances, Earth-rank is already the pinnacle. For major martial arts forces, high-grade and top-grade Earth-rank combat skills are their most treasured possessions, and they would never be easily granted.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that being a member of the Special Operations Team was far from enough to obtain high-grade Earth-rank combat skills.

"We'll see."

However, this is just a passing curiosity. Lu Yuan is still far from being able to exchange for a high-level combat skill.

After all, a top-grade Xuan-level combat skill already requires 7000 points, so wouldn't a Di-level skill start at 10,000 points?

Moreover, it's not just 10,000 points. Lu Yuan just glanced at it and found that each of the low-grade Earth-rank combat skills that can be exchanged has different additional requirements.

Earth-rank combat skills are currently out of reach.

Lu Yuan stopped thinking about it and opened the Xuan-rank combat skill.

This page is much more normal, just like the previous Yellow-Rank Combat Skills, with further subdivisions based on effects, etc.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then opened the defensive combat skills.

Zhou Buyi was determined to kill him. Although he had failed several times before and had calmed down a bit in the last few days, he would never give up so easily and was probably planning a new assassination.

With his exceptional mental strength, Lu Yuan possesses the ability to foresee danger, but the next incident might not be as simple as a bullet shot from afar, and Lu Yuan might not be able to dodge it.

Therefore, it is essential to learn a defensive combat skill.

Moreover, Lu Yuan currently has a total of three combat skills: Explosive Step, Rush Fist, and Hundred Step Divine Fist, one movement technique and two attack techniques. In terms of combat skill configuration, he should indeed learn a defensive one.

"Not bad, this one is good too."

In terms of total number, there are fewer Xuan-rank combat skills than Huang-rank combat skills, but in terms of defensive combat skills alone, there are more Xuan-rank combat skills.

After a little thought, it became clear that Xuan-rank combat skills are techniques for using true qi, and the most basic techniques for using true qi, such as bursting qi and protecting the body with qi, are inherently defensive in nature, making it easier to develop defensive combat skills.

Lu Yuan clicked on each one to check, and couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Compared to the somewhat lackluster Yellow-rank combat skills, the Profound-rank combat skills are much more practical. The only difference is the emphasis; each Profound-rank combat skill has its own outstanding features.

"...This is it!"

After comparing the options, Lu Yuan made his choice.

Golden Bell Shield!

In martial arts novels, it is one of the two great defensive hard skills, on par with Iron Shirt.

In this world, the Golden Bell Shield is a more fitting description, as it directly condenses true qi into protective energy, resembling a golden bell enveloping the entire body.

This is somewhat similar to the ability to gather qi and form images, which can only be achieved by those above the seventh level!

The reason it can be done is because it is derived from the protective qi, which is an ability that can be possessed by anyone with four meridians.

This is why the Golden Bell Shield can be activated quickly, and when mastered, it can even be activated instantly, thus dealing with various emergencies.

Furthermore, because it focuses solely on defense and is completely undistracted from everything else, it is extremely strong in defense. Among the lower-grade Xuan-level techniques alone, it can be said to be the strongest defensive combat skill!

It is even better than the equally well-known Iron Shirt.

Iron Shirt is made by attaching true qi to the body, just like a piece of clothing. Although it is flexible and does not affect one's own movements, how can a "clothing" be thicker than a "bell"?

"exchange!"

After a slight pause, Lu Yuan immediately clicked "OK".

The next steps are simple: sign a confidentiality agreement, deduct 1000 points, and then you can directly view and download the Golden Bell Shield training materials.

Similar to the previous Hundred Steps Divine Fist, as a Xuan-level combat skill, in order to facilitate the understanding of practitioners, in addition to detailed illustrations and text, there are also dedicated video explanations.

After reading it, Lu Yuan scanned the mysterious tattoo and immediately understood everything.

In addition, a total of more than thirty deficiencies and defects were found.

Once these flaws are addressed, the power of the Golden Bell Shield will undoubtedly increase significantly. Based on previous experience, it should be able to reach a level comparable to the highest-grade Xuan-level!

"That's all."

Lu Yuan immediately began repairs, but before he could finish, his mental energy was exhausted.

First, I need to replenish my mental energy.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then got up and went out.

An hour later, he arrived at his former rented room.

"I miss you so much."

As soon as the door opened, Li Wenxiu let out a soft moan and pounced on her like a cat in heat, showering her with kisses.

Lu Yuan hugged Li Wenxiu tightly, hooked the door shut with his back foot, and executed her on the spot.

……

Two hours later, Lu Yuan replenished his mental energy twice, not only repairing all the flaws in the Golden Bell Shield, but also fixing some flaws in the Tao Te Ching.

To fully complete the Tao Te Ching is not something that can be accomplished overnight. What Lu Yuan needs to do is to increase the upper limit of his spiritual power by repeatedly consuming spiritual power.

The enhancement of mental strength is also a form of strength improvement for Lu Yuan.

As for when mental power can evolve into a higher form of energy that can be directly used in combat, it is still unclear.

"A golden dragon coils around..."

On the bed, the two were naked, with Lu Yuan holding Li Wenxiu in his arms, as he inspected the completed Golden Bell Shield.

The defensive power is greatly enhanced. After all, the only characteristic of the Golden Bell Shield is defense. So much so that when it is used, it is as if a golden dragon is coiled around the bell.

"In that case..."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly. "We could change the name."

Panlong Golden Bell Cover!

"Again!"

It was still early, and as Li Wenxiu drew circles on her chest, Lu Yuan couldn't help but become interested again.

In order to improve my mental strength as soon as possible and continue fighting!
