171: A battle against a rock! Outwardly strong, inwardly weak!

"Nine Heavens Secret Realm"

"The flame heart crown!" Bedrock spoke again. "Hand it over, Lu Yuan! I can give you a quick end!"

Raimond, Shi Tai, Lin Wei, Qin Feng, and Liu Ying were all deeply shaken.

The flame heart crown? What is that?

It sounds like an extraordinary treasure!

And this mysterious black-clad figure who suddenly appeared clearly had a deep hatred for Lu Yuan!

"Junior Schoolmate Lu Yuan, what... what's going on?" Lin Wei couldn't help but ask, her delicate body trembling slightly.

She had never seen such intense killing intent.

Shi Tai tightened his grip on the giant axe card in his hand, blocking in front of Lin Wei, and stared warily at Bedrock: "Who are you, sir? Why are you provoking trouble without cause?"

Raimond's expression was the most solemn.

He felt a dangerous aura from Bedrock that far surpassed that of an ordinary Fourth Rank Peak Card Master.

This person was definitely very strong! Although they were both Fourth Rank Peak, he was no match for him!

"Lu Yuan," Raimond asked in a deep voice, "Do you know him?"

Lu Yuan met Bedrock's gaze, a mocking smile playing on his lips instead.

"More than just know him."

His tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Not long ago, he was still kneeling and begging me."

"You're courting death!" Bedrock roared in anger, and his Source Power erupted!

"Begging me?" Bedrock was so angry he laughed. "Lu Yuan, do you think these fledglings from Mobei Nine Heavens Academy can protect you?"

"Today, no one can save you!"

If he hadn't sensed the crown's aura, he would have attacked long ago!

It must have been hidden again by this brat!

Damn it!

He glanced at Raimond and the others, the manager's warning echoing in his ears.

He threatened:

"If you don't want to die, then scram!"

"Before I change my mind!"

Raimond's face darkened.

"You're too arrogant, sir!"

"This is within the jurisdiction of Mobei Nine Heavens Academy, not a place for you to run wild!"

Regardless, Lu Yuan had spent a few days with them and was a Junior Schoolmate, so they had already developed feelings for him.

Compared to a social "stowaway," they naturally had to protect their own!

He shielded Lu Yuan behind him, the thunder light war blade in his hand humming, surrounded by purple lightning.

"No matter what grudge you have with Lu Yuan, if you want to touch him, you'll have to ask me, Raimond, first!"

"Captain!" Shi Tai and the others also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Raimond.

Although they were unclear about the ins and outs of the matter, they were all fellow students, and Nine Heavens Academy was a military school, where comrades were like brothers. At this moment, they naturally couldn't stand by and watch!

"Mobei Nine Heavens Academy?" Bedrock scoffed.

"Even if that old fellow Zhan Chengfei came himself, he wouldn't be able to stop me today!"

"The flame heart crown must be mine!"

On the small stone plate he held in his left hand, the blood-colored light threads grew brighter, pointing towards Lu Yuan.

"the crown?" Lu Yuan feigned surprise. "What crown? Why don't I know about it?"

He spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Bedrock, have you been beaten silly by that Old Elf? Are you hallucinating?"

"Still playing dumb!" Killing intent surged in Bedrock's eyes.

"Lu Yuan, my patience is limited!"

"Do you think I don't know? the crown must have been hidden by you!"

"Tell me now!!!"

He stomped his foot suddenly, his figure transforming into a blurry black shadow, rushing straight at Lu Yuan!

"Nickname!" Raimond roared, and the thunder light war blade slashed out furiously!

"Get lost!" Bedrock didn't dodge or evade, black energy swirling around his right hand as he threw a punch!

"Bang!"

The thunder light and black energy collided, erupting in a dull roar!

Raimond felt a huge force surge through him, his tiger's mouth trembling violently, and he was actually forced back three steps!

He was greatly alarmed!

The opponent's strength was indeed far superior to his!

"Everyone, attack!" Raimond roared.

Shi Tai, Lin Wei, Qin Feng, and Liu Ying dared not delay, activating their cards one after another, various attacks surging towards Bedrock like a tide!

Bedrock snorted coldly, his figure moving nimbly through the attacks, appearing to be at ease.

He seemed not to want to get entangled with Raimond and the others, his target always locked on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold.

This Bedrock, he doesn't seem that strong, does he?

Damn it!

This old schemer just had a few more tricks; his strength was just mediocre.

And he had racked his brains trying to figure out how to escape!

Damn it!

He didn't even need the Heaven and Earth Origin Power Great Teleportation!

His hands flashed!

"Halberd, come!"

... The moment his voice fell, Lu Yuan's Third Rank Eight-star Source Power erupted!

Frost Flame Power covered his entire body.

"Buzz—!"

The void trembled slightly, and a dark gold trident, covered in ancient shark patterns and exuding endless malevolence, suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's hand!

The ancient sea shark war halberd!

The dazzling light and pressure unique to a gold card stood in equal opposition to Bedrock's Fourth Rank Peak aura!

"gold... gold card?! My heavens!" Raimond's eyes almost popped out, and he cried out in alarm.

The thunder light war blade in his hand let out a faint whine under this pressure, as if it had encountered a higher-level existence!

"Damn it! Damn, damn, damn!" Shi Tai couldn't help but curse loudly. "This... this damn... this kid... he, he, he... how could he have a gold card?! What a joke!"

Lin Wei covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

"He... who exactly is he? A Third Rank Eight-star cultivation... yet possessing a gold source card... how... how could this just be an ordinary 'trial quota' student?"

Qin Feng and Liu Ying were also completely stunned, their minds blank.

Everything happening before their eyes completely subverted their understanding.

This Junior Schoolmate, who had traveled with them, seemed harmless, and even a bit shabby, was actually a hidden big shot with a gold card?!

"Third Rank Eight-star?" A trace of surprise flashed across Bedrock's face.

Immediately, it turned into even more intense greed.

"Good! Good! This is truly excellent!"

He hissed, "It seems you've also gained a lot of benefits in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm! Not only did you not die, but your strength has also improved!"

"Perfect! It saves me effort; I'll take it all today!"

A fierce light burst forth in Bedrock's eyes, and a card suddenly lit up in his hand!

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a roar, a gigantic humanoid monster, five to six meters tall, entirely made of molten lava, slammed down onto the rock!

The Lava Troll, Fourth Rank Three-star, an orange beast taming card!

It was also Bedrock's original tamed beast!

"Big Turtle, time to work!" Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the Lava Troll; he flipped his left hand, and another gold light flashed!

"Ang—!"

A distant roar, and a colossal turtle phantom, even larger in size, suddenly appeared!

The sky had darkened!

Raging Waves Sea Soul!

As soon as the Big Turtle appeared, it charged towards the roaring Lava Troll.

The energies of water and fire collided with a bang, raising large clouds of steam!

Instantly blurring everyone's vision!

Another... another gold card?!

The Leimeng Squad was already numb.

This guy... what kind of monster is this guy?! Two gold cards?! Is he even human?!

"Bedrock!" Lu Yuan held the ancient sea shark war halberd, pointing it at the opponent, battle intent surging.

"Last time you ambushed me!"

"This time, let's see how you escape!"

"You inexperienced brat, how dare you speak so wildly in front of me!"

Bedrock roared, black energy swirling around him, and he initiated an attack!

He instantly became invisible!

Leaving behind streaks of afterimages, the Source Power in his hand condensed into sharp claws, aiming directly for Lu Yuan's heart!

"Good timing!" Lu Yuan advanced instead of retreating, the ancient sea shark war halberd slicing through the air, meeting Bedrock's attack!
