Chapter 104: Chapter 99: Returning to Simplicity, Opportunity at the 4th Rank, Defeat Wang Yuntao! 2nd Place in the Void Star Realm!_2

As soon as the words fell, numerous dark shadows suddenly shot out from behind Wang Yuntao, instantly rushing out like a dense, oppressive cloud, pressing towards Lu Sheng overwhelmingly.

Lu Sheng was extremely familiar with such a tactic.

Previously, it was Chu Tong who was renowned for using such tactics.

Controlling mechanical bodies in combat!

However...

Compared to the mechanical bodies controlled by Chu Tong, Wang Yuntao could control significantly more small combat robots, making it impossible to discern their exact numbers amidst the dark mass.

Rumble!!

The dark clouds swept through, accompanied by the roar and explosion of artillery fire, instantly enveloping the area where Lu Sheng stood in a deadly onslaught.

Lu Sheng’s expression remained exceptionally calm. This kind of assault, if it were ten days ago, might have still instilled fear in him, but now...

Lu Sheng took a step forward, surging forth with a torrent of Qi Blood.

He threw a powerful punch horizontally.

Bam!

A dull sound echoed in the arena as the dense artillery fire was instantly shattered under Lu Sheng’s tremendous strength.

They fizzled out even before they exploded.

"Oh? Interesting, a Martial Artist who has condensed the Qi Blood Illusion is indeed different. Fifteenth place might have underestimated you a bit, but..."

Wang Yuntao smiled confidently as he moved, his demeanor exuding the confidence of the second-ranked member of the Void Star Realm.

"That was just to test the waters!"

Wang Yuntao murmured, and his hand instantly transformed into a formidable Ink Saber, adorned with complex patterns that shimmered with light, exuding a strong aura of malevolence.

In an instant, a malevolent storm swept from Wang Yuntao’s center, a terrifying aura that could easily corrode any late-stage third-level Transcendent.

Bam!

Wang Yuntao’s figure, like a cannonball, shot towards Lu Sheng with deadly intent.

His speed was akin to a black phantom.

"Good timing!"

Seeing Wang Yuntao charge at him, Lu Sheng’s eyes sparkled with a bright light. He grinned, and a bloody illusion instantly enveloped his body.

An intense momentum erupted from Lu Sheng.

With bare fists, Lu Sheng’s hands were wrapped with the Power of the Five Elements as he instantly struck out, clashing forcefully with Wang Yuntao’s Ink Saber.

Muffled sounds reverberated through the arena, each clash resounded like thunder.

Any slightly weaker Transcendent in the vicinity would have their eardrums shattered by the booming sounds.

All that could be seen were two figures constantly flashing and colliding.

This vibration lasted for several minutes.

The playful look on Wang Yuntao’s face finally disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

He had thought that even though Lu Sheng had condensed the Qi Blood Illusion, there would still be a significant gap between Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun, while his own ranking was above Chen Moyun’s.

Who would have known...

After engaging with Lu Sheng, he found that Lu Sheng’s strength was terrifying, especially the Power of the Five Elements, which was difficult to withstand.

This person... is he really only ranked fifteenth?

Even though Lu Sheng previously had some notoriety in the Celestial Speed Training Camp, it wasn’t enough for Wang Yuntao to take him seriously.

But now... Wang Yuntao deeply remembered Lu Sheng’s name.

This was because, during their fight, Lu Sheng had exerted considerable pressure on him.

"This guy..."

Wang Yuntao, with a solemn expression, stared at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng kept punching, each blow blocked and parried by Wang Yuntao’s Ink Saber, yet Wang Yuntao’s heart was filled with a strong sense of unease.

It was as if... Lu Sheng was still holding something back.

Just as Wang Yuntao’s unease intensified, a blood-red figure quietly appeared behind Lu Sheng.

"This is..."

Wang Yuntao’s pupils slightly constricted as he saw the blood-red figure behind Lu Sheng.

"Perfection-grade True Martial Body!!"

Wang Yuntao exclaimed. He had seen True Martial Bodies before, but never a Perfection-grade one.

Even though he had fought against Chen Moyun many times, even Chen Moyun had never cultivated his True Martial Body to perfection!

Wang Yuntao’s heart trembled, and at that moment, Lu Sheng’s assault resumed.

"Great Five Elements Fist!"

Lu Sheng’s faint voice reached Wang Yuntao’s ears.

Rumble!!!

The arena echoed with an even louder roar, accompanied by a strong wave of the Five Elements.

Wang Yuntao felt a scorching aura envelop him before a powerful killing intent instantly landed on him.

Bam!!!

Lu Sheng’s fist landed fiercely on Wang Yuntao.

In the next moment, Wang Yuntao’s figure was enveloped by white light and instantly teleported out of the arena.

Energy surged wildly. As Wang Yuntao’s figure vanished, the energy crazily vented onto the ground, creating a huge crater on the arena floor.

In the arena, only Lu Sheng’s figure remained, standing quietly.

In front of Lu Sheng, a large character hovered in the air.

[Victory]!

...

Wang Yuntao gradually regained his senses and realized he was back in the virtual room.

"I... lost?"

Wang Yuntao felt dazed. He never expected to come to the Void Star Realm for some training, hoping to adjust his state before the grand competition.

But the result... was losing to a Martial Artist ranked outside the top ten?

Wang Yuntao felt unwilling, but as he recalled Lu Sheng’s powerful aura, he felt a sense of defeat.

"When did this guy emerge?"

"Could it be that there’s an even more formidable Martial Artist in the Celestial Speed Training Camp than Chen Moyun?"

Wang Yuntao struggled to accept it, looking at the combat rankings in the Void Star Realm, where Lu Sheng’s name was now above his.

Wang Yuntao had fallen from second to third.

"Sigh!"

In the end, Wang Yuntao sighed deeply.

"Besides Mu Tianran, the Celestial Speed Training Camp has another monster."

...

Lu Sheng’s name appeared in the second position on the leaderboard.

Instantly, this caused quite a stir in the Void Star Realm.

"Hmm? The top three ranks have changed?"

Someone noticed the change in rankings and couldn’t help but remarked, attracting much attention.

After all, since members from various training camps entered the Void Star Realm, the top three ranks had rarely changed. Even if they did, it was usually just second and third swapping places. The first rank hadn’t been replaced yet.

Now, seeing the change, many people checked the rankings.

And indeed, they saw Lu Sheng’s name in second place.

"Lu Sheng? I think I vaguely remember this guy."

"Isn’t he the Martial Artist from the Celestial Speed Training Camp with a one hundred percent win rate? He’s in second place now? Does that mean...he defeated Wang Yuntao??"

Someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"My goodness, Wang Yuntao was defeated by Lu Sheng?"

"This is shocking news, I thought Chen Moyun was already the top Martial Artist in the Celestial Speed Training Camp. Who knew there was someone even stronger? Who is his superior officer?"

In an instant, the entire Void Star Realm exploded in discussion.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Secret Training Camp, Chen Moyun, clad in black, sat cross-legged on his bed, slowly opening his eyes.
