I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The effect was worse than the original, but there were enough of them to make up for it!

Of course, this also relied on her Divine Attribute being so powerful that she could directly use a series of abilities.

If it were a regular assistant, after two or three skill buffs, they would be close to mental exhaustion.

"What's going on?!"

The Golden-clothed Rat King's eyes bulged, shocked to find that the guy opposite him was getting stronger by the moment.

That fierce aura was almost spilling out.

"Gale!"

He didn't give his opponent the chance to continue powering up, charging forward fiercely, his right hand as fast as lightning, he delivered a horizontal chop!

Bolstered by the Field, his shape moved as fast as lightning.

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted. The speed of that chop exceeded the speed of sound, the friction between the opponent's rough palm and the air emitted a tiger's roar, and in his retina, he could only see a red afterimage!

If one lacked in combat experience, they would be brought down by this extremely high velocity in a single clash.

Unfortunately for the Golden-clothed Rat King, Lu Yuan's battle record was indeed forged through life-and-death struggles, those titles were earned through bloody fights! As soon as he sensed the "Yellow Sand Domain," he had made combat preparations and even thought about how many Divine Skills he should reveal to take down his opponent.

Lu Yuan clasped his hands in a cross shape; in the blink of an eye, he entered the Different Space—if he wanted to win, he had to reveal this Divine Skill.

In the next instant, the space around both fighters folded.

The Golden-clothed Rat King went straight through Lu Yuan's shadow, his punch missing its target, and with too much force, he almost stumbled and nearly fell.

But before he could think further, Lu Yuan reappeared in the original spot, his fists glowing red as he smashed them down!

This in and out trick, Lu Yuan called it "Virtualization."

Since the time spent in the Different Space was extremely short, his whole body even left afterimages in the air, appearing to be like a spirit, possibly misleading the opponent's judgment.

The punch was momentous and heavy, targeted straight at Shu Huangfeng's facade, triggering the highest alert in his heart.

But the "Yellow Sand Domain's" 600 percent speed enhancement was no joke. The title of Mouse King was not because of noble blood, but because he was the strongest among his kin.

A dull "thud" resounded, and at the very last moment, Shu Huangfeng's eyes turned red, using a Divine Skill called "Copper Skin Stone Bone"!

"Yah!!"

With a multitude of physical ability buffs, Lu Yuan's strength was astonishing, and with a single punch, the opponent's face caved in.

He had held back a bit, worried that if he killed the Mouse King outright, it might trigger a civilization war.

"Dang!"

That punch hit Shu Huangfeng's face head-on as if it had struck steel, the intense recoil numbing Lu Yuan's own arm.

The Sparks of both sides clashed, erupting with bursts of red light.

Several mouse whiskers spun in the air, burning into ash.

Shu Huangfeng was sent flying with one punch, covering a distance of dozens of meters, smashing a dent into the high loess slope.

"Copper Skin Stone Bone," deactivated!

Shu Huangfeng climbed back up, his expression somewhat serious, but apparently uninjured.

His eyes complexly glanced at Lu Yuan, acknowledging that this man with immense Qi Fortune indeed possessed extraordinary combat power.

"Copper Skin Stone Bone" had almost been pierced through.

He wiped the blood from the tip of his nose and pondered how to counter that "Virtualization" ability.

...

The lightning-fast battle lasted less than a second, so quick that the crowd couldn't clearly see what happened!

Only a Level Six Grandmaster, Jin Dongliang, and some Ratman could barely make out the events.

"I...didn't even have time to react," a human Diplomat said in a low voice.

"All I saw was the Mouse King being sent flying."

Most of the human soldiers were only Level Three, some of them anxious, those fierce attacks creating sonic booms, obviously not on the same level as the previous fight.

Only Jin Dongliang, who had experienced the battle of "Painted skin," relaxed, and instead began to observe with an attitude of active appreciation—what about the Field then?

Compared to a true natural disaster, even a Level 10 expert was just an easy target.

"Don't worry, Level is not key, the Field is not key..."

"Commander Lu has many more cards up his sleeve! Relax your minds!"

...

The Ratman community was looking rather downcast.

As expected, the instant kill scenario did not occur.

The Mouse King actually couldn't defeat a Ninth Epoch Genius?!

Although he had abandoned his Epic sword, hinting at a self-imposed handicap, the opponent was from the Ninth Epoch after all…

"Even, he is a Craftsman Master…" a craftsman murmured, "Since when did Craftsman Masters become so adept at combat?"

"What's that virtualization ability?"

"It's not virtualization; it looks like some kind of space ability… the Mouse King might be fooled…"

"Why does he have so many buffs? What sort of Extraordinary artifact effects are these?" The Ratmen discussed amongst themselves.

...

At the center of the battlefield, Shu Huangfeng launched another attack.

Having been thwarted, he didn't initiate a lightning-fast assault like before but instead began a cautious and probing approach.

He wanted to understand what that "virtualization" ability really was.

However, at the moment of collision between their Eternal Sparks, the Golden-clothed Rat-man felt a soul-piercing pain.

"An Eternal Spark? Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this?"

Though he was three levels higher in the Extraordinary Level than Lu Yuan,

As a Level 9 Extraordinary Warrior, he was the only one in the Shu Mi Dam Civilization.

Yet the energy of their Sparks was not much different.

And the feeling of "soul-piercing pain" was too familiar; wasn't it the damn Eternal Spark?

At that moment, the Golden-clothed Rat-man immensely regretted discarding his Epic sword!

Otherwise… he had the Eternal Spark too!!

"How the hell am I supposed to fight this? If I lose too badly, I'll lose face."

With that thought, Shu Huangfeng resolved not to drag this out any longer—otherwise, "Eternal Spark"'s soul damage would slowly but surely kill him.

"Slow is worse than fast! I must make it a quick battle!"

Once again, he dashed over like lightning, swinging a punch, but this time with more caution, guarding against Lu Yuan's virtualization!

After all, he had the Divine Skill "Copper Skin Stone Bone"; taking a few punches wouldn't be much of an issue.

But if he could land a punch on Lu Yuan, he could inflict serious damage.

Naturally, Lu Yuan had no idea about the other's concern for face; he was completely focused on the fight.

The Lightning Punch from a Level 9 Extraordinary Warrior was as fierce as a tiger, and even though Lu Yuan had many buffs, he could barely see clearly within the other's Yellow Sand Field.

Without using Different Space, it would be incredibly difficult to dodge.

"He's virtualized!!" Shu Huangfeng ground his teeth and in the moment that Lu Yuan reappeared, twisted sharply at the waist and changed his stance.

He used his back to bump against the arm that Lu Yuan had swung and grabbed at Lu Yuan's arm with his right hand!

[Copper Skin Stone Bone]!

His face took another punch, the strong blast of air assailing his features, his nose caved in and two sharp teeth were knocked flying.

The Eternal Spark's soul damage made his head ring "steadily".

Yet, he couldn't help a smirk; young people are after all just young, thinking virtualization made him invincible, but you can't virtualize while attacking, can you?

This time, having grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and with their Sparks interacting, he brought forth a strong Idealist Interference force, "This time, you won't escape!"

With that thought, he showed no mercy, his sharp claws like an eagle's talons twisting viciously towards Lu Yuan's shoulder blade, aiming to execute a Joint Technique!

On the hillside, even Jin Dongliang stood up, holding his breath, as the old saying goes, "Fancy kicks and punches are just for show; joint locks are the killing techniques."

Once locked, even great strength couldn't break free.

The Ratmen also watched with excited, breathless anticipation.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan, seemingly under Shu Huangfeng's control, suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Bring it on!!"

If Shu Huangfeng could think to deceive with a fake virtualization to force a flaw, how could he, Lu Yuan, not have considered it?
