"At this hour, why aren't you going home? What are you still doing here?"
Lucas and the black-haired Valkyrie in front of him met each other's gaze.
Coincidentally...
This Valkyrie was from Lucas's class; they were even in the same group during Mobius's dissection class.
Her name was Yan Ying, a person from Shenzhou. Her face was pretty, and her pupils were jade green, like a black cat.
This didn't mean Yan Ying's skin was dark; her skin was very healthy. It was just that her posture resembled a black cat.
Not to mention her pair of pointed canines.
Upon seeing Lucas, Yan Ying even took out a cat-claw-shaped weapon, and her body arched down. She stared coldly at the man like a cat.
She stuck out her small pink tongue and licked her red lips.
"Hehehe... I see you, Master..."
"Come play with me."
"Come play!"
Yan Ying seemed to have truly transformed into a cat. Her jade-green pupils instantly turned into vertical slits, and her voice became sharp.
The Night Valkyrie in front of him had already begun to transform.
Trembling, trembling...
Yan Ying's body twitched unnaturally. Something seemed to be hidden beneath her skin, suddenly bulging and then sinking.
Lucas didn't miss this excellent opportunity.
He pulled out the wolf repellent spray from his waist.
This action, honed through a thousand trials in ninety-nine cycles of reincarnation, combined with the flow of true qi within his body, was completed almost in the blink of an eye.
Lucas pressed the button.
Instantly, a pungent mixed liquid sprayed towards Yan Ying.
She was only a C-rank Valkyrie trainee, so the probability of hitting her was still very high.
Just as Lucas had this thought, he missed.
The reason was simple: Lucas was injured yesterday during a sparring match with a Valkyrie and hadn't recovered yet. Additionally, his intense gaming session with Bronya subtly worsened his injuries, causing his attack speed to be a bit slower.
And Yan Ying—she was a very agile Valkyrie, and a second-year C-rank Valkyrie.
Just as there's a gap between B-rank and C-rank, there's also a gap within C-rank.
First-year and second-year simply couldn't compare.
With one's strength decreasing and the other's increasing, Lucas's attack was dodged.
Yan Ying laughed wildly, saying, "Ahahaha! I like it! I like it! I like Master the most! Come play! Come play!"
Her sharp voice was like a demonic whisper in his ears.
While shouting, Yan Ying launched her attack.
"Damn it..."
Lucas hastily retreated half a step.
The only four wisps of true qi in his body circulated wildly.
Someone might wonder at this point, wasn't there only two wisps of true qi before? How did it become four now?
This was because two more days had passed since the Vermilion Bird Immortal's cultivation assistance.
One wisp per day, exactly four wisps. Lucas had not neglected cultivating the Jadeite Divine Skill.
This was his capital for navigating the Inner World.
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself.
Once the Jadeite Divine Skill achieved some minor success, and he acquired enough energy replenishment potions from Ai Yi, Lucas could try to challenge Elysia and Eden.
Of course, he had to challenge them one by one.
The combined attack of the sisters was still too powerful; Lucas couldn't withstand it. He only had a chance in a one-on-one fight.
Anyway, Yan Ying pounced like a cat.
Lucas, having mobilized all his true qi, narrowly dodged the opponent's cat claw attack.
The sharp claws emitted a whistling sound as they cut through the air.
"That was close... I almost got disemboweled."
Lucas's pupils constricted slightly.
The battle with the Valkyrie now was completely different from yesterday's sparring session.
A slight mistake and he would be killed.
His opponent was also going all out.
There was no intention of holding back at all.
Lucas already felt the death star twinkling above his head.
"However... I'm not entirely without a chance; I still have the tranquilizer gun."
As long as he could hit Yan Ying with the tranquilizer gun.
Lucas still had a very good chance of winning.
However, in an intense battle, the tranquilizer gun could only be used once at most.
After all...
Yan Ying wouldn't give Lucas a chance to load a second round of ammunition.
If he missed one shot, it basically meant the tranquilizer gun, his trump card, was ineffective.
While the pepper spray also had the possibility of repelling Yan Ying, if the first surprise attack missed, the probability of hitting her later was indeed pitifully low.
He could only treat it as an auxiliary offensive method.
When Yan Ying's first attack missed, she immediately followed up with a second move, a cat-like quick attack that was very difficult to dodge.
Lucas didn't even have time to use the pepper spray.
The attack had already arrived again.
"The True Qi in my body is limited; these four wisps are enough for me to go all out for four seconds at most, and then I'll be exhausted. I can't dodge; the more I dodge, the more I'll fall into her rhythm."
"Even if it means getting injured, I have to strike hard!"
Flames seemed to burn fiercely in Lucas's eyes.
During ninety-nine reincarnations.
Such unexpected situations happened more than once.
After multiple failed attempts to beg for mercy, the current Lucas had become a furious beast when pushed into a corner.
When rivals meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!
Fighting! Awesome!
Lucas's adrenaline surged, greatly enhancing his strength, speed, and dynamic vision.
Especially the four wisps of True Qi raging within his body brought an even greater increase to his physical abilities.
The red-eyed man completely disregarded defense; he unleashed a punch, concentrating all his limited True Qi, and a faint fiery glow even appeared on his fist.
This was — Cun Jin: Rock Break!
Besides the Jadeite Divine Skill.
The Cun Xin Fist Technique of the Immortal Chiyuan had also been learned by Lucas long ago, which was why he didn't carry a main weapon; his fists were the best weapons.
Strike one punch to prevent a hundred punches.
There was no need to bring other flashy things.
Of course...
The most crucial reason was still the lack of a suitable main weapon.
Even if he found one, Lucas couldn't unleash its power, and it would make his movements even more inconvenient.
After all, main weapons were generally quite heavy.
It was far less cost-effective than carrying a tranquilizer gun and pepper spray as secondary weapons.
...
Their attacks landed on each other almost simultaneously.
They brushed past each other.
Bang!
Rip!
Lucas, who didn't dodge, was inevitably torn open in the abdomen by Yan Ying's sharp claws... Fortunately, his fist also hit her cheek, preventing the claw from going deeper.
If he had been a bit slower.
Lucas's abdomen would have been sliced open by Yan Ying's sharp claws.
If that happened, he knew without thinking that his intestines would definitely spill out.
A stinging sensation came from his abdomen.
His torn pajamas immediately became stained with a large patch of red.
Yan Ying's attack inflicted a severe injury on Lucas, while his punch only made his opponent a little dizzy.
The black-haired Valkyrie, whose face was slightly swollen due to someone's punch, slid a distance sideways.
Yan Ying, on all fours, let out a wildcat-like hiss.
This was a warning of another attack.
Lucas understood.
The moment Yan Ying looked up, she heard a sizzling sound.
It was pepper spray!
Yan Ying, who had already experienced this move, dodged very quickly.
But this was just a feint; Lucas immediately drew the tranquilizer gun from his waist.
The only chance...
Is now!
Yan Ying, having just dodged the surprise attack, was psychologically a few points ahead of Lucas, and it was also when she was most careless.
Pulling out the tranquilizer gun at this moment was the best option.
Lucas pulled the trigger.
Let the syringe fly.
