307: Chapter 307 The Pain of a Simp, One-on-One

Luke broke down.

Tears streamed down his face, tracing his rugged cheeks and falling onto the ground, drop by drop.

He muttered, "How could this happen... How could this happen..."

He stood there, utterly devastated, like a walking corpse.

Lu Shan pulled at his hand, but he ignored her.

Qian Ye called his name, but he did not respond.

His eyes were fixed solely on the light screen, on the Hua Caili within it, and the man standing beside the Hua Caili.

After a long while, he looked up at Lin Yun.

His gaze no longer held humility or pleading; it was filled with anger, jealousy, and resentment.

"Lin Yun," he gritted his teeth, enunciating each word, "I want a duel with you."

Lu Shan panicked, "Brother, don't be ridiculous!"

Luke ignored her, "Lin Yun, do you dare?"

Lin Yun had long found him unpleasant.

Ever since Luke had shouted from outside the door, "Hua Caili, I know you are in there," he had found him annoying.

"Fine."

Lin Yun said.

Lu Shan stamped her foot in frustration, "Brother! What are you doing!"

Then she turned to apologize to everyone, "I'm sorry, everyone. My brother just has this kind of temper. Please don't take it to heart. Why don't you go in first while I drag him back?"

Luke didn't move, "Go where? Lin Yun, let's go, let's fly into the sky and fight."

Lu Shan glared at him, "What are you doing? If you want to fight, go to the Illusion Arena. Do you want to demolish the street by fighting here?"

Luke persisted, "Right now, let's fight in the sky."

Lu Shan was angry, "If you do this, I'm telling Aunt."

Luke had a visceral reaction.

His whole body jerked as if he had been electrocuted, and a flash of fear crossed his face.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, then swallowed it back.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the anger in his eyes still burned.

"Fine, the Illusion Arena," he looked at Lin Yun, "Do you dare to go?"

Lin Yun chuckled, "Let's go."

Everyone flew toward the Illusion Arena.

On the way, the Hua Caili introduced the Illusion Arena, "The Illusion Arena can simulate real strength one hundred percent, including the Source Armor and weapons."

Everyone was surprised, "There is such a good place?"

Qian Ye chimed in, "Of course. Don't look at where this is; this is the capital of the Lingyuan Empire."

The virtual pod Lin Yun had purchased previously, including his current optical computer, could only fully simulate the strength of a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist in the virtual world.

Once reaching the Fifth Rank, with elemental power, it wouldn't work.

This was also the reason why he had to go to an uninhabited planet when he practiced Combat Technique with the Hua Caili before.

He didn't expect Lingyuan City to have such a good thing.

The Illusion Arena was in the central area of Lingyuan City, a huge circular building.

The building was entirely silver-white, like a giant pearl.

The top was a transparent dome, through which the stars in the sky could be seen.

People were coming and going all around, with humans of various races entering and exiting, making it extremely lively.

Luke was an Advanced member.

He led everyone into the building, through the hall, through the corridor, and to a somewhat dreamy room.

The room was not big, with white walls emitting a soft glow.

In the center of the room, a huge stone was placed.

The stone was oval, pitch black, with a surface smooth as a mirror, and light faintly flowing inside.

On the way, Su Yingxue had already become familiar with Lu Shan.

The two chatted the whole way, from Qilin Kingdom to Lingyuan City, from children to Cultivate, from clothes to cosmetics.

Lu Shan had a gentle personality, spoke softly, and did not put on airs; the more Su Yingxue saw of her, the more she liked her.

Knowing it was their first time here, Lu Shan took the initiative to introduce, "The huge stone in the middle is the Illusion Stone."

"Once they sit on it, their consciousness will appear in an illusion space."

"If you want to wear the Source Armor or use weapons, just place them on the stone."

After his sister finished speaking, Luke looked at Lin Yun and said, "I won't bully you. No Source Armor, just weapons."

Lin Yun didn't care at all, "As you wish."

Luke was angry.

Lin Yun's attitude made him feel incredibly annoyed.

That calm and detached demeanor seemed as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

"Just wait, I'll beat you up later."

Lu Shan glared at him, "Just one match is enough. Regardless of who wins or loses, you can't pester Hua Caili anymore."

His sister's words made Luke even angrier.

He urged Lin Yun, "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

The two summoned their Origin weapons from within their bodies.

Lin Yun's was a greatsword.

It was the melee form of the Void Dao Treasury, a Seventh-Rank Origin weapon.

Luke's was a giant axe, pitch black, with a wide blade and a thick handle.

The aura was also Seventh-Rank.

Luke was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect you to have a Seventh-Rank weapon too."

Lin Yun did not speak.

Luke continued to talk tough, "Having a Seventh-Rank weapon is useless. I will let you know what a gap is."

The two walked to the Illusion Stone and sat down.

They placed their weapons beside them.

The Illusion Stone glowed, black light gushed from the stone, enveloping the two.

The light became brighter and thicker, finally wrapping them completely.

Then, above their heads, an illusion unfolded.

It was a desolate planet with a gray surface covered in craters.

Lin Yun and Luke stood on the planet, ten thousand meters apart, facing each other.

Lu Shan introduced, "Dying in the illusion will slightly affect the Divine Thought."

"But don't worry, just rest for half a day."

"As long as it's not continuous dueling and dying repeatedly, there won't be any problems."

Qian Ye looked at Lin Yun in the illusion and asked the Hua Caili, "Hua Caili, is Lin Yun really from Qilin Kingdom? He even has a Seventh-Rank weapon?"

The Hua Caili did not speak.

A blade appeared in her hand, with a Seventh-Rank aura.

Qian Ye was shocked, "You have one too? When did you get rich? You didn't even bring me along."

The Hua Caili said calmly, "My husband gave it to me."

Qian Ye was truly shocked.

This was given by Lin Yun?

Isn't Qilin Kingdom a tiny country?

When did it start producing tycoons?

A Seventh-Rank Origin weapon, given just like that.

The one she used was only Sixth-Rank, which she had saved for hundreds of years to exchange for.

The way Qian Ye looked at Lin Yun changed.

In the illusion, Lin Yun held the greatsword.

He looked at Luke ten thousand meters away and said indifferently, "I'll let you attack first."

Luke was angry.

He gripped the giant axe with both hands and rushed toward Lin Yun.

The speed of Sixth-Rank Perfection erupted with full force, and the distance of tens of thousands of meters was covered in an instant.

The giant axe, accompanied by the whistling wind, slashed down towards Lin Yun's head.

Lin Yun's figure flashed.

Phantom Corridor Steps.

His body merged into the space corridor, and his real position shifted by one grid compared to the position Luke perceived.

Luke slashed down with his axe, but only hit an afterimage.

The giant axe landed on the ground, splitting the gray surface into a deep crack, with gravel splashing and dust flying.

Luke was shocked, "Space Element?"

Outside the illusion, Qian Ye and Lu Shan were also shocked to see this scene.

Space Element.

The Fifth Rank uses Space Element for Breakthrough, and the Sixth Rank uses Space Element to form a Domain.

They had only heard of such Martial Artists, but never seen one.

They didn't expect to see one today.

Su Yingxue's lips curled up, her face full of pride.
