"ROAR—"

The ominous sound of an elephant's trumpet reverberated across the field, creating a giant sound wave that spread out, kicking up clouds of dust and shaking the onlookers' eardrums.

All eyes were drawn to the center of the field.

There, a horrifying figure over four meters tall stood, elephant-headed and human-bodied. Its physique, like a majestic, rolling Demon Mountain, was immense as it tilted its head back and roared.

In that instant, countless onlookers felt their minds seized by it, their spirits momentarily dazed.

Whether it was Lu Yuan's earlier strike descending from the heavens or his all-out punch, both were terrifyingly powerful.

However, the Elephant God Walk, having endured both attacks, seemed completely unscathed.

Not only did it appear outwardly unharmed, but it had also launched a formidable counterattack, displaying an almost dominant, terrifying combat prowess.

Walker Level.

It was far more terrifying than they had imagined...

"Three keys. Two for me, one for you," Red-haired Julian said casually from the mountaintop, a faint red glow emanating from his body. "I'm preparing to make a move."

The handsome young man beside him pulled him back, shaking his head. "No need to rush, no need to rush."

A rare, serious expression appeared on the young man's face. He stared intently at the battlefield, large amounts of blue data flashing through his pupils as if he were calculating something.

"Its life signs are still vigorous. This battle... has only just begun."

Julian frowned, and eventually, the red light that had ignited on his body dimmed and went out.

"ROAR—"

After venting its fury, the sinister Elephantman finally, slowly, ceased its roaring.

It was as if it had just completed some kind of ritual, a declaration of its own valor.

Afterward, the single eye on its forehead began to scan the surroundings, its long, octopus-like trunk twitching and sniffing.

Its gaze eventually focused on a patch of ground to the side.

It strode over on its stout legs and pressed its hands downward, apparently preparing to dig.

But just at that moment...

"BOOM!"

A Stone Pestle hundreds of meters in front of the Elephantman suddenly exploded, and a figure strode out from it.

"Interesting."

Lu Yuan's deep-blue Gold Bear Level combat armor, reputed to withstand even the highest S+ rank attacks, now had a large hole in the chest. The remaining intact parts were dull and tattered, as if its very spirit had been broken.

He didn't have many obvious injuries, but he was covered in dust, looking somewhat disheveled.

"RRRIP—"

Lu Yuan simply tore the ruined armor off, pulling it away and tossing it to the ground.

This revealed a powerful physique beneath, as if forged from pig iron.

"It's been a long time..."

Lu Yuan stared at the Elephantman, over four meters tall, before him. He slowly wiped a faint trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, then continued, word by word, "...since I've been hit... this hard."

The next second, a fiery battle intent erupted in Lu Yuan's eyes.

THUMP!

The ground beneath Lu Yuan's feet exploded, leaving a large crater.

He vanished instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already within arm's reach of the Elephantman.

At that moment, Lu Yuan felt a fire raging in his chest.

The icy lake within his heart had completely shattered after taking that blow from the Elephant God Walk.

Magma and flames, once trapped beneath the ice, now gushed forth, transforming into a ferocious battle intent that made every cell in his body burn with scorching heat.

BOOM!

Lu Yuan punched out fiercely. The air before him distorted as his fist slammed into the Elephantman's chest.

Compared to the Elephant God Walk, which stood over four meters tall, Lu Yuan's two-and-a-half-meter frame made him seem like a child fighting an adult.

Yet, this punch, backed by two hundred tons of force, still sent the Elephantman flying violently.

The Elephantman soared into the air, hurtling backward like a heavy-duty truck overturned by brute force.

Lu Yuan's eyes glinted. He stomped his foot, creating a crater several meters deep in the ground, and shot forward again like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, chasing after it.

As he charged, several class panels opened simultaneously.

Skills activated one after another, like light bulbs illuminating in sequence.

Lv8 [Circulation of Death Qi]...

Lv2 [Death Omen Eye]...

Lv3 [Martial God Strength]...

Lv3 [Absolute Focus]...

Lv1 [Unconquerable Instinct]...

Lv1 [Body of Burning Blood]...

Lv1 [Indomitable Will]...

...

Black and gold light coiled around Lu Yuan's body. His eyes turned pure black, and all emotional fluctuations vanished within a second.

From beneath his skin, a crimson mist seeped out, and his physique swelled subtly, growing a fraction larger.

"WHOOSH—"

A massive white crane shadow silently emerged from his body, distorting the air around him.

Indomitable, indestructible, unconquerable!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

The fire in Lu Yuan's heart burned even more fiercely.

Only one thought remained in his mind—to win!

To hell with the Elephant God Walk!

To hell with SS-Rank!

He had to win! He just had to win!

Completely dominated by instinct, Lu Yuan closed in on the Elephantman. His limbs, his torso, every part of his body transformed into a weapon.

On several class panels, the combat skills flashed like the colorful, rolling lights on a slot machine—

Constantly lighting up, extinguishing, lighting up, extinguishing...

[Sure-kill—Crane Shadow Floating in the Air!]

[Sure-kill—Mistakenly Picked Immortal Orchid!]

[Sure-kill—Penglai Vastness!]

[Sure-kill—Dragon Hide Body!]

[Sure-kill—Covering the Sea!]

[Super Kill—Netherworld River Notification of Death!]

Lu Yuan's speed reached an extreme, his body leaving a trail of intertwined black and gold afterimages in the air.

The True Intentions of the Spirit Crane, the Dragon form, and the Giant Whale rapidly switched back and forth around him.

Sometimes they expanded, sometimes contracted; sometimes they turned into a gaseous mist, and other times they condensed back to a single point...
