The roar of the battle mechs' weapons continued, and the Moly Demon was growling.

But this commotion had nothing to do with the many Newbloods hiding on the sidelines of the battlefield.

Most of the Newbloods had only one thought in their minds: Who is this?

They were bewildered.

The Moly Demon's power, previously demonstrated when it destroyed those formidable mechs as easily as cutting grass, had already been deeply seared into their minds.

It was a terror that sent chills down the spines of mere onlookers, making their bodies tremble.

The true meaning of the "Survival" mission had been perfectly interpreted.

But now... someone had appeared out of nowhere. And with a BOOM, they had sent the Moly Demon flying?!

Who is this guy? He's so strong! And... he's so brave! Daring to face the Moly Demon head-on...

"It's him!"

On the Second Floor of the Mall Building, Bald Teng Xiangqing involuntarily took two steps forward when he saw the figure appear in the field.

His fists clenched unconsciously, and sparks of electricity flickered over his body...

Finally, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, his eyes then fixing on the battle, unblinking.

"Lu Yuan... It's Lu Yuan..." Ye Wuqiang and the others also recognized Lu Yuan at a glance, momentarily stunned.

For a moment, they didn't know whether they should quickly go to greet him... or if they should pretend not to know him.

Lu Yuan glanced down at Xu Chengying, noticing her dazed expression as she stared at him.

The Moly Demon had struck viciously.

That last blow had crushed Xu Chengying's entire lower leg; the part below her ankle was swollen like a steamed bun.

She had been brought to tears by the pain. Her face, already smudged with soot from the battle, looked even more ghoulish as her tears streaked through it.

"Did you deliberately wait until the very last moment to come out?" Xu Chengying suddenly snapped back to her senses, looking at Lu Yuan as she spoke.

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded calmly. "Who told you to be playing on your phone during a fight? You deserved a lesson."

Actually, he had only just arrived. He'd even planned a grand entrance, descending from the sky. But then he saw Xu Chengying was about to be done for, so he had hastily rushed up and delivered a 'Savage Charge.'

"You..."

Xu Chengying nearly burst into tears again.

She sent Lu Yuan eight hundred messages a day, and that blue-haired He Jun constantly called her a simp for it. It was one thing for Lu Yuan not to reply, but he even deliberately watched her get caught! She had truly wasted her devotion on an ungrateful cur. If she ever bothered with him again, she herself would be the dog...

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Heavy and hurried footsteps sounded from behind. Lu Yuan 'saw' the Moly Demon, radiating a menacing aura, as it broke through the encirclement of battle mechs.

He couldn't be bothered to argue further with Xu Chengying. He reached out, grabbed her by the neck, and hauled her up from the ground.

Before Xu Chengying could struggle, he aimed her towards Ye Wuqiang and the others and unceremoniously hurled her through the air.

"Stay farther away this time."

Then, he turned around and calmly watched the Moly Demon approach.

"It's him! He's that S-rank Newblood! Capture him, and Yellow Bear's people will definitely agree to any of our conditions!" Bearman growled, hiding beneath the Moly Demon's armpit.

When he had used his ability to escape the Gravity Field, he had triggered the ultimate mechanism, a two-hundred-fold gravity trap. He had thought that even if this kid didn't die, he would surely have been taken away by Yellow Bear's people for emergency treatment. That's why he had been deliberately stalling the Moly Demon. He never expected the kid to be standing before him now, alive and kicking!

For a moment, Bearman didn't know whether to be shocked or overjoyed.

"It's him?" The Moly Demon stared at Lu Yuan before it. Its silver-white giant arm swept out violently, sending several mechs in front of it flying like scattered wheat.

A look of intense brutality appeared on its smooth face, and it nodded.

"Very good. Saves me the trouble of looking for him." The Moly Demon strode towards Lu Yuan.

While the Moly Demon sized up Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was also observing it.

Information about the Moly Demon from the mission details flowed through his mind like water.

Moly Demon. New Martial Arts—A+-rank Silver Molybdenum Fluid Body (Great Achievement), A+-rank Gigaton Liquid Pump Fist (Great Achievement)... Comprehensive Strength Assessment: A+ (PS: Stronger than an ordinary A+-rank, extremely dangerous)...

Two A+-rank New Martial arts at the Great Achievement level. The former is primarily for defense, granting immunity to most thermal weapon attacks. The latter is primarily for power, with a peak explosive Fist Strength of fifty to sixty tons. Its weakness is speed...

Its stats look pretty strong. Shouldn't this be considered S-rank? So what exactly is the standard for classifying someone as S-rank? As Lu Yuan pondered, his thoughts inadvertently strayed. When he snapped back to reality, he found his surroundings had suddenly darkened.

He looked up.

He met the Moly Demon's cold, brutal silver gaze.

A terrifying pressure, like a passing gale, swept over Lu Yuan, whipping his long hair high up behind him.

A giant over eight feet tall faced off against a youth around six feet tall, with fair skin, handsome features, and long hair.

They stood opposite each other.

This highly impactful scene made the surrounding circle of observing Newbloods hold their breath, growing involuntarily tense.

Lu Yuan's expression, however, was calm.

He glanced with his peripheral vision at Bearman, still hiding beneath the Moly Demon's armpit, then looked up at the Moly Demon and said, "I hear you're pretty tough?"

The Moly Demon's serrated mouth stretched towards its ear roots in a silent grin. Then, its eyes suddenly turned savage. It violently raised a hand and slammed it fiercely down towards Lu Yuan.

BOOM!

A tremendous, muffled impact resounded. Where Lu Yuan had been standing, the surrounding four to five meters of tiled concrete ground completely shattered. Debris flew into the air, and thick dust billowed upwards.

This blow from the Moly Demon seemed to have also struck the hearts of the many observing Newbloods.

Everyone's hearts clenched tightly; they desperately wanted to rush forward and clear away the dust to see what had happened inside.
