Chapter 1521 - 1520: Gravitas

Fourth Stage!?

Upon seeing the numbers on Lu Yu's wrist instrument, Dragon's eyes filled with shock. At this moment, his entire being was overwhelmed by astonishment. He never imagined that Lu Yu could make such formidable progress after being poisoned!

The leap from the Third Stage directly to the Fourth Stage was truly astonishing, completely overwhelming Dragon!

"You..."

Seeing the numbers on Lu Yu's wrist instrument, Dragon spoke out in utter shock: "How could you make such terrifying progress!"

After being poisoned, Lu Yu suddenly achieved such terrifying improvement, gaining the ability for limb regeneration and crossing into the Fourth Stage. This progress sent chills down Dragon's spine, filling him with fear!

"Didn't I tell you?"

Upon hearing Dragon's words, Lu Yu replied coldly, "I've returned from Hell!"

"Since you're a high-ranking member of the Shadow Luo Organization, you should know that the Divine Blood Potion exhibits its maximum efficacy at the brink of life and death."

With a hint of awe in his voice, Lu Yu said while looking at Dragon, "I struggled through the edges of life and death and gained such progress. Isn't it a matter of course?"

While speaking, Lu Yu's words were as cold as ice daggers, making anyone who saw him break into a cold sweat!

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Dragon's gaze deepened as he felt immense pressure surge towards him.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before!

Seeing through the fear in Dragon's eyes, Lu Yu smirked icily and then said, "Now, our battle can continue!"

Lu Yu's voice was playful and mocking, as if he were teasing.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Dragon's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of gravity appeared in his eyes. He initially thought he could accomplish the mission effortlessly, but now he never imagined that Lu Yu would appear in such a transformed state!

Instead of being captured easily due to the poison, Lu Yu unexpectedly leapt into the Fourth Stage, driving Dragon nearly insane!

"Lu Yu, don't be arrogant!"

Looking at Lu Yu, Dragon's eyes revealed a fierce determination, as his entire body exuded an authentic aura of slaughter: "So what if you've entered the Fourth Stage? I still have tricks up my sleeve!"

As he spoke, Dragon took several slender black needles from behind him and promptly inserted them swiftly into the area behind his ear and on his neck!

At the sight of this scene, a chill swept through Lu Yu's eyes because he recognized Dragon's method!

Inserting needles behind the ear's acupuncture points is known as the Life-Borrowing Needle. After insertion, a person seems to have endless strength and never feels fatigued!

The needle in the back of Dragon's neck is called the Yi Wu Needle. Once inserted, it can extensively stimulate bodily muscles and power, multiplying one's strength and speed several times!

This stimulation can grant even a weak person some power, let alone Dragon, who already possesses formidable strength!

With this technique, Dragon's strength could easily surge several times!

"Interesting!"

Upon witnessing Dragon's actions, Lu Yu smirked coldly and said, "Using such methods to temporarily enhance strength shows you really can be ruthless!"

Lu Yu's voice was filled with mockery, as if he were watching a monkey act out, teasingly laughing!

Though Dragon's technique grants significant power in the short term, this power comes at the cost of exhausting one's body!

"It seems you're aware of this technique,"

With coldness in his voice, Dragon looked at Lu Yu and replied, "Since you know this method, you should be aware that it doesn't harm the body within a short period!"

Dragon's gaze was chilling, conveying a sense of utmost seriousness.

"Oh!?"

Hearing Dragon's words, Lu Yu's face showed a cold sneer. Looking at Dragon, he said, "By your logic, do you plan to subdue me in a short time?"

While speaking, Lu Yu's gaze turned grim and murderous, his words filled with mockery as if he'd heard a humorous story!

"Why not?"

In response, Dragon looked at Lu Yu with fiery red eyes, lightly flicking his fingers toward him!

Whoosh!

Upon Dragon's flick, a sharp force instantly shot towards Lu Yu, as powerful as a bullet from a sniper rifle!

"Such strength, no wonder you're so boastful!"

Seeing the sharp force charging at him, Lu Yu smirked coldly, saying, "It's a pity you're unaware if such power can subdue me!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu lifted his hand, pointing a finger at Dragon while flicking lightly!

Whoosh!

Upon Lu Yu's flick, a similarly powerful force shot out, crashing into the incoming force fiercely!

Bang!

In an instant, the two forces collided, producing a cracking sound, crisp and clear!

As the sound rang out, the forces dispersed into a gust, sweeping outward!

Whoosh!

The gust swept through, making Lu Yu and Dragon's clothes flap wildly, intensifying the atmosphere on the platform tensely!

Lu Yu and Dragon stared at each other, their eyes filled with fierce determination, exuding an overwhelming air of threat.

Now, Lu Yu and Dragon were each a catalyst away from a fierce confrontation, the air thick with imminent violence!
