You have money, so what?!

Lu Yuan was being besieged.

Three Little Stone Men and two Black Scorpions.

As Lu Yuan's gene tempering degree continued to increase, the strength of his Black Iron Body was also increasing.

During this period of time entering the Origin Land, he absorbed a lot of Spirit Crystals, raising his tempering degree to 12%.

Although this tempering degree was not too high, it should be known that Lu Yuan had engraved an Elite Quality Extraordinary Gene.

As the main improvement to his defensive ability, it was enough to compare with ordinary Gene Warriors with 50% or even 60% tempering degree.

In addition, he was also wearing Gene Armament armor, so his defensive ability was naturally extremely strong.

As long as he wasn't hit in a vital spot, these ferocious beasts couldn't cause him substantial damage, only making him feel a little pain.

Without worrying about defense, Lu Yuan focused on practicing his footwork and swordsmanship.

Under the same strength, Gene Warriors with stronger physical skills naturally had greater combat power.

Lu Yuan didn't want to lag behind in this regard either.

Through repeated dodging, he made his footwork more efficient.

Through repeated attacks, he made his swordsmanship sharper.

It was very difficult to dodge the siege of five ferocious beasts.

He was hit frequently.

But he wasn't in a hurry at all.

This kind of dodging ability could only improve through constant practice.

He wielded the long sword in his hand, occasionally leaving wounds on the five ferocious beasts.

Before long, a Little Stone Man turned into a pile of rubble and fell to the ground.

The remaining four ferocious beasts continued to besiege Lu Yuan, making it much easier for Lu Yuan to dodge.

But he was still hit from time to time.

Lu Yuan continued to attack, and just as he killed another Little Stone Man, an ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart came from behind him.

Lu Yuan felt a chill down his back and instinctively sensed a trace of danger.

He moved his feet and shifted his body sideways.

An arrow carrying a strong wind grazed Lu Yuan's cheek and shot into the head of a Little Stone Man.

Boom!!

The Little Stone Man's head was pierced by the violent arrow attack.

Its body swayed and fell to the ground as rubble.

This attack ability was even stronger than Lu Yuan's.

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned to look.

As soon as he turned around, a Fireball slammed towards his face.

"You actually launched a sneak attack! How insidious!"

Lu Yuan cursed inwardly and his figure flickered again.

The Fireball passed by him and landed on the back of a Black Scorpion.

The Black Scorpion screamed as it was engulfed in flames, its upper body exploding with a bloody hole, and it collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, Lu Yuan saw a Cat Person swordsman rushing over with a sword.

Seeing this swordsman, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

"It's you!"

This was the Cat Person Hunter he had encountered yesterday.

If it was him, then the two attacks just now...

Lu Yuan looked up, towards the corner.

The Cat Person archer and elemental warrior he had encountered last time were also there.

However, this time, Lu Yuan didn't have another warrior team to help him.

Three against one.

This was a bit troublesome.

Lu Yuan's face darkened.

The Cat Person swordsman quickly rushed in front of Lu Yuan.

That strange rhythm of breathing sounded in Lu Yuan's ears again.

The Cat Person swordsman held a greatsword and slashed diagonally downwards towards Lu Yuan's neck.

Lu Yuan exerted force with his legs, and his longsword also slashed out.

Clang!!

Sparks splashed on the two longswords, Xi Ye's face changed, and his body retreated two steps.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't retreat a single step, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, revealing a hint of shock.

"Your strength has actually become so much stronger?!"

You must know that the last time, the collision between the two was evenly matched, and even Xi Ye had a slight advantage.

As a result, only such a short time had passed, and Lu Yuan had already gained the upper hand in the collision of strength.

Lu Yuan smiled.

Last time, he had just entered the Origin Land, and his tempering was less than 9%.

But this time, his tempering had reached 12%.

This was an increase of nearly 50% in tempering!

Although Lu Yuan's Black Iron Body doesn't primarily enhance strength, it naturally provides a significant boost to it.

Compared to last time, even if Xi Ye has improved, it's difficult for him to match Lu Yuan again.

With one strike, Lu Yuan stepped forward, intending to press his advantage.

However, just as he took a step, a whistling sound came.

An arrow shot towards Lu Yuan's eyes, and at the same time, a Fireball rushed towards his face.

Lu Yuan frowned.

He moved his feet horizontally, dodging the arrow and the Fireball.

As soon as he dodged, the Cat Person swordsman advanced again, his longsword stabbing horizontally towards Lu Yuan's undefended abdomen.

Lu Yuan blocked with his longsword, deflecting the Cat Person swordsman's longsword, and simultaneously kicked towards the Cat Person swordsman's abdomen.

The Cat Person swordsman's pupils shrank, and he raised his left hand to block Lu Yuan's leg.

A muffled sound rang out, and the Cat Person swordsman retreated several steps.

Lu Yuan didn't have time to pursue, as two more arrows shot towards him in quick succession, and at the same time, an even larger Fireball than before shot over.

Lu Yuan's battle with Xi Ye was naturally observed by Molly and Nan Qi in the distance.

Their expressions also changed.

"What's going on?! Xi Ye is being suppressed?!"

"How is that possible? Last time, their strength was clearly about the same. If he bursts out for a short time, Xi Ye should be able to suppress this human!"

"How long has it been? He's become so much stronger?!"

"Go all out! Otherwise, we'll have to run away again this time!"

Molly gritted her teeth, a savage look appearing on her delicate face, and the arrows in her hand flickered with a faint bloody light.

Nan Qi's expression was also icy, and the Fireball on his staff grew larger and larger.

The two sides fought together.

Lu Yuan's individual strength was stronger than Xi Ye's, but he couldn't kill him in a short time.

With Xi Ye's restraint, Molly and Nan Qi in the distance could easily attack Lu Yuan from afar.

The coordination between the three of them was quite tacit.

Every time Lu Yuan repelled Xi Ye and wanted to pursue, Molly and Nan Qi would suppress him with firepower, forcing him back.

And every time Lu Yuan wanted to directly find trouble with Molly and Nan Qi, Xi Ye would restrain him.

Lu Yuan's speed wasn't fast to begin with, and with Xi Ye's restraint, it was naturally even slower. It was simply unrealistic to catch up with Molly and Nan Qi.

For a time, the battle became deadlocked.

Lu Yuan's expression wasn't very good.

My strength has improved, but these three Cat Person Hunters have also improved. If the power of that Cat Person archer's arrows was the same as before, I could even withstand her arrows and kill this Cat Person swordsman first.

He was a little annoyed.

He'd been fighting for ages, but couldn't kill a single one.

This was the helplessness of a guardian-type warrior.

Their defense was incredibly strong, and they were extremely tanky, but they lacked a decisive, one-hit-kill attack ability.

Gradually, time passed.

Molly shot another arrow, her forehead covered in sweat, panting repeatedly.

Nan Qi beside her also looked a little pale.

He looked at Lu Yuan in the distance, his expression uncertain:

"Something's not right! Something's very wrong!"

Molly nodded repeatedly: "Something is wrong! What's going on with this human? He's been maintaining his combat skill all this time, hasn't he run out of spirit energy yet?!"

Nan Qi also looked surprised: "Our combat skills are all attack-type combat skills. After continuous use, we've almost used up our spirit energy. How can his continuous defense combat skill last for so long?! Looking at him, he's still so energetic, as if his spirit energy hasn't reached its limit?!"

In the distance, the battle between Lu Yuan and Xi Ye continued.

Xi Ye's expression was already a little pale, and his originally light red skin had become much duller.

His combat skill was about to fail.

However, Lu Yuan didn't seem to have changed at all, still covered in the Black Iron Body.

Clang!

Another collision.

Xi Ye's face turned pale, and his body staggered back five or six steps, his hands trembling slightly, making it difficult to even hold his sword.

He stared at Lu Yuan:

"How can you have so much spirit energy?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Who told me to be strong?"

He naturally wouldn't say that he had a Spirit Crystal in the center of his left hand, constantly absorbing spirit energy.

This was already the spirit energy from the fourth Spirit Crystal he had absorbed.

After all, his tempering level was not as good as these three Cat Person Hunters, so his spirit energy reserves were definitely not as good as the Cat Person Hunters.

If it was an ordinary battle of attrition, Lu Yuan would definitely lose.

But who told Lu Yuan that he could absorb Spirit Crystals to recover spirit energy?

That made it a battle of endurance.

Now, Lu Yuan could already feel that the Cat Person Swordsman in front of him was somewhat lacking in strength.

He revealed a smile:

"Next, it's my turn, right?"

He had been grinding for so long, and he had finally exhausted this guy's spirit energy. It was so difficult.

He took a step forward, his body shot out like lightning, and his long sword slashed towards the Cat Person swordsman.

The whistling sword wind stirred the Cat Person swordsman's hair.

His expression changed drastically, and he lunged to the side.

Lu Yuan's long sword struck the ground, cutting a sword mark into the surface.

Lu Yuan raised his sword and charged towards the Cat Person swordsman again.

The Cat Person swordsman was shocked and dodged repeatedly.

"If you have the ability, don't dodge!"

Lu Yuan was happy and continued to attack.

Xi Ye felt the immense pressure, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and roared:

"Molly! Nan Qi! Quick, support me!"

Molly and Nan Qi in the distance paled and struggled to squeeze out their spirit energy to use their battle skills to attack.

Lu Yuan casually swung his sword, knocking away the arrows and extinguishing the Fireballs.

He smiled: "Just this attack intensity? Their spirit energy should be almost exhausted, right? You think you're the only one consuming energy?"

Hearing this, Xi Ye's expression changed.

Seeing Lu Yuan charging up again, Xi Ye gritted his teeth, a look of heartache on his face.

He took out a potion shimmering with starlight and drank it down.

Seeing this potion, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Spirit energy recovery potion?!

He forgot that there was such a potion.

After drinking it, this guy's spirit energy would probably slowly recover.

"Even if your spirit energy recovers..."

Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Xi Ye took out another blood-red potion and drank it down, then took out a bottle of light green potion and drank it down.

Molly and Nan Qi in the distance also continuously took out potions and drank them.

"???"

Lu Yuan felt their gradually strengthening auras, and his expression changed instantly:

"Damn it, are potions free?! Who drinks them like you?! Do you think you're great just because you're rich?!"
