Countless spectators from the Sea King's Dome had complicated looks on their faces. They wanted to support Lu Yin, as he was considered one of their own, but the chances of him winning were not high.
Xun Jiong stared at Lu Yin with jealousy. This kind of treatment should have been his. As long as he became the Sea King's son-in-law, he would be able to tear through the void of the Sea King's Dome and travel through it as he pleased.
Halfwillow Lakeside was huge. One was in the west, while the other was in the east. They were about ten kilometers apart, and normal people could not see the other side. Only cultivators could.
When he saw Mu Rong's calm expression, Lu Yin did not know if the man was looking down on him or if he did not care about this battle at all. Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and then he charged towards the center of the lake under everyone's watchful eyes. Across from him, Mu Rong also moved towards the center of the lake.
The two approached each other at extreme speeds, and their star energy soon affected each other. The lake water was pushed aside by their star energy, and Lu Yin raised a hand to send a Skybeast Claw crashing down. Mu Rong casually dodged it, and with a light step, he appeared in front of Lu Yin. He extended his wooden flute and pointed it at Lu Yin's chest.
Lu Yin reached out to grab it. He was confident that with his strength, it would be very difficult for Mu Rong to snatch the flute back once he grabbed it. However, Mu Rong seemed to sense danger, as he was well aware of Lu Yin's terrifying physical strength. Even so, Mu Rong still dared to engage in close combat, which only proved that he was confident in his battle technique.
Mu Rong easily dodged Lu Yin's palm once more and appeared behind him. He spun his wooden flute and viciously struck Lu Yin's back. Lu Yin was not slow either, as he fused his Flash with the Invisible Aura Technique, causing his movements to be silent. He did not even release any star energy, which surprised Mu Rong.
At the center of the lake, the two of them attacked each other at extreme speeds while also dodging each other's attacks. Countless afterimages appeared and disappeared around Halfwillow Lakeside, and as more and more afterimages appeared, the two of them were so fast that they distorted the air and caused the entire lake to boil.
After exchanging so many blows, neither of them managed to touch the other at all.
Countless spectators gaped, as they could not even see the battle clearly.
Regardless of whether it was Mu Rong's battle with Zhang Dingtian or Ling Que, he had always been the strongest when it came to movement techniques, and he had been able to easily dissolve his opponents' attacks. Ling Que had once mentioned that his movement technique was called Floating Wanderer, and it was comparable to a Lockbreaking technique. Mu Rong was the best when it came to dodging and dispersing attacks. As for Mu Rong, he had his domain and Flash Step, so he was not afraid of anyone when it came to movement techniques.
The two of them moved faster and faster, and a trace of surprise flashed through Mu Rong's eyes. He knew that Lu Yin was a Lockbreaker, but even Lockbreakers rarely had this kind of movement technique. Mu Rong could understand why Lu Yin could dissolve his star energy attack since he was a genius Lockbreaker, but he was surprised that Lu Yin could keep up with his speed.
However, the Floating Glide Art hadn't reached its limit yet. Mu Rong's interest was piqued, and he increased his speed once more. Even with Lu Yin's eyesight, he couldn't see him anymore.
It wasn't just Lu Yin. Even Northgate Lie, Qin Chen, and Cheng Wu found it difficult to clearly see Mu Rong's current speed. Mu Rong's speed had surpassed what it had been in the past, and he was fully utilizing the Floating Glide Art.
Ling Que felt bitter. It turned out that this bastard had not revealed his full strength in their previous battle. However, there was no need for that, as no matter how fast Mu Rong was, he would not be faster than Ling Que's Que's Mighty Slash piercing through the void.
Mu Rong had already completely disappeared from the lake, as he was simply too fast.
Many gasped, as Lu Yin was in danger.
Lu Yin was shocked, as he could actually move even faster. Interesting. He did not hesitate to transfer the Fatesand from his heart to the inner layer of his clothes. This way, he would not expose himself, but he would also release his physical strength. In an instant, just as the wooden flute was about to attack him, a powerful shockwave erupted and swept out in all directions. It blasted Mu Rong away, and the powerful pressure caused the countless spectators around the lakeside to hold their breaths.
Huge waves rose up from the lakeside and surged into the sky, causing the surrounding void to become unstable.
This was the physical strength that Lu Yin had revealed when he had unsealed his first grain of Fatesand. He had broken through the Xun family's Mechanism Technique on the Skyfall Cascade and forced Faceless to retreat. Now, he had appeared once again, and this time, it was reflected in his speed.
Flash Step was a movement technique that relied on one's physical body as a foundation. The stronger one's physical body was, the faster one's Flash Step would be. This was the first time that Lu Yin had truly understood this point from the Sandmaster's teachings. In theory, as long as one's physical body continued to grow stronger, there would be no upper limit to Flash Step's speed. Lu Yin had even fantasized about the day when his speed would surpass that of time.
Lu Yin and Mu Rong could no longer be seen from Halfwillow Lakeside. The two were simply too fast, to the point that even Explorers could not see them clearly. Just based on this speed alone, the two of them had completely surpassed their peers.
Everyone was speechless, as they had not thought that Lu Yin would be able to last much longer. They had not expected him to be so fast. Speaking of which, how were they supposed to watch if he was so fast?
This was completely unreasonable.
Michelle and the rest were equally shocked, as they had not expected Lu Yin to be so fast. Furthermore, the pressure that he brought about made it difficult for them to breathe. When had the gap between them become so great?
Xia Luo's eyes lit up, and he had a look of admiration on his face.
Lulu was envious. If she had this kind of speed, she would have been able to beat up Grandini.
In the distance, Hai Dashao watched seriously. For a Limiteer to be able to reach this level, this Lu Yin was quite capable. There were not many people in the entire universe who could do this. It was no wonder that Starsibyl had specifically asked him that question; he was definitely qualified.
There was a loud bang that shook everyone. They looked towards the lake and saw that the lake water had already been expelled. In the center of the lake, Lu Yin and Mu Rong stood facing each other. Beneath their feet was a huge crater with countless cracks spreading out in all directions. The lake water flowed into the cracks, but no one knew where it led to.
This was the first time the two had collided since the start of their battle. Judging from the traces left behind, Lu Yin had not retreated a single step, while Mu Rong had been forced back five steps. It was obvious who had the upper hand.
No one was surprised by this result, as Mu Rong was indeed inferior to Lu Yin in terms of physical strength. Lu Yin could use Thirty Stacks, which required a terrifying physical body. Not many Explorers could do this, let alone Limiteers. Mu Rong could use Thirty Stacks, which made him one of the top experts of the Grayweed Continent's younger generation.
Mu Rong's true strength lay in his domain, his forcefield, and that mysterious farmer boy's song.
Mu Rong's expression was no longer as calm as it had been before the battle, and he looked at Lu Yin in shock. "Your physical body is really strong."
Lu Yin smiled. "Thank you for the compliment. Let's try again."
Mu Rong shook his head. "There's no need for that. It's not my style to use my weakness to counter my opponent's strength. Although I don't care if I win or lose this battle, since it's a battle, I'll give it my all. You have the qualifications to make me give it my all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lake water began to flow back. Lush green grass began to grow from the bottom of the lake to the shores of Halfwillow Lakeside.
In an instant, Lu Yin's domain collapsed. His domain was too weak, and it was immediately crushed.
He had experienced this feeling more than once before, and the one that had left the deepest impression on him was the space with the golden sea. When he had fought against the war spirit with its eyes closed, his domain had also been crushed as soon as it had appeared. It had felt like the sky had collapsed, and now, he was experiencing the same feeling again.
Without his domain, his perception of his surroundings had become much weaker. What was worse was that he had fallen into Mu Rong's forcefield while the image of the shepherd boy herding cows hovered above his head.
Everyone held their breaths. Here it comes! Mu Rong's forcefield proved that he was serious.
Zhang Dingtian's expression turned serious, as he had been defeated by Mu Rong's forcefield. The entire forcefield had suppressed him, and it had felt like he was being rejected by the space around him. Even the heavens and earth were being suppressed, and that irresistible strength was something that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Ling Que's expression also turned serious, as he had only been able to block Mu Rong's forcefield after using his Soulsplitting Technique to its limit of three. No one knew better than him just how terrifying that attack had been. To a Limiteer, it was like the sky had collapsed.
Lu Yin had experienced the feeling of the heavens and earth collapsing as the shepherd boy charged at him. Under Mu Rong's forcefield, no matter how fast Lu Yin was, he felt like he had fallen into a swamp. He had to endure this attack, and there was no way to avoid it.
But did he need to dodge it?
Lu Yin looked up. He had never considered how to block Mu Rong's forcefield during his battle with him, as there was no need for it. He could take it head-on, and this was his confidence in his physical strength. No Limiteer could suppress his physical body, not even Ye Xingchen, who was rumored to have the innate gift of the stars.
Boom!
The heavens and earth collided, and the air was torn apart into thunderous streaks that swept through the surroundings. The entire Halfwillow Lakeside was shattered, and all of the lake water splashed out in all directions. What followed was an enormous pressure that caused many of the people nearby to cough up blood. Even the Limiteers were affected, and some of the Explorers couldn't help but retreat in order to counteract the pressure.
Michelle and the others weren't too close, but they weren't too far away either. They also felt the same pressure.
Was this the pressure that a battle between two Limiteers could produce?
Even though they had already experienced it two days ago, they were still shocked to experience it again.
The entire space was like a compressed balloon that exploded at the moment of collision, forming visible shockwaves that swept out in all directions. The scene was even more spectacular than the one from two days ago.
Hai Dashao's eyes narrowed, and beside him was Hai Qiqi. She had also just arrived and was just in time to witness this scene. She covered her mouth in shock. Was this a battle between Limiteers?
Because the battle had taken place on the lake, the collision of star energy had created a high temperature that caused the lake water to evaporate and form a white mist.
When the mist dissipated, everyone stared at the lake, and the first person they saw was Mu Rong. Many people noticed the look in Mu Rong's eyes, which were filled with shock and astonishment. Could it be?
Everyone looked at the spot where Lu Yin had been standing. At this moment, that spot had been transformed into a giant crater, and no one knew how deep it was. Perhaps it had penetrated deep into the mountain, and only the palm-sized ground remained standing like a wooden pole. This piece of ground had been protected by Lu Yin's power and had not been destroyed. Lu Yin was standing there, calmly looking at Mu Rong.
Everyone gasped. Two days ago, Ling Que had not been able to withstand this attack so easily. They remembered that most of Ling Que's clothes had been torn apart, but what about Lu Yin?
There wasn't even a speck of dust on Lu Yin's body.
Ling Que took a step forward and stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. Was this person's physical body that strong?
His body was still in pain after taking that attack head-on. Was the difference in their physical bodies really that great?
It wasn't just Ling Que; even Mu Rong himself was shocked.
Lu Yin slowly rose into the air as his battle force dissipated. He had not used his Fatesand and had truly relied on his own physical body to withstand the attack. Mu Rong's attack had been very powerful, and it had even surpassed the power of an ordinary Cruiser. In terms of power level, Mu Rong's attack had been around 70,000, but it had still not been enough to break through Lu Yin's physical defenses.
