The异 world Lu Bu, the strongest dragon rider, wields the Rolling Thunder Hammer technique with just his fists. Catching his opponent off guard, he finally gains the upper hand. Since Yan Xiangtian can only use the power of a Blue Warrior, and his body weight is at a disadvantage, this gives Lu Bu an opportunity. A pair of fists, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, strike Yan Xiangtian in a barrage.
Yan Xiangtian feels utterly frustrated. He has finally recognized the familiar moves - it's the ferocious and unrelenting Rolling Thunder Hammer technique, a top hammer technique used both for forging and actual combat. Struck continuously by Lu Bu's fists that are swift as a gale, fierce as a storm, and rapid as thunder, Yan Xiangtian finds his own techniques ineffective.
Facing Lu Bu's increasingly faster and stronger attacks, Yan Xiangtian keeps blocking with punches. But under Lu Bu’s relentless assault from above, Yan Xiangtian eventually steps back.
The ground is littered with broken stones. The previously intact blue stone surface has become disordered, like it was plowed over or trampled by a herd of wild bulls, pitted and strewn with rubble, in complete disarray.
With every punch received from Lu Bu, Yan Xiangtian retreats one step, breaking the blue stone floor beneath his feet, sending shards flying; with each step forward that Lu Bu takes, he leaves a large crater on the ground, causing the earth to tremble like waves. With unstoppable momentum, he attacks without restraint, discarding all distractions. Knowing he cannot injure Yan Xiangtian, he has no more reservations—so he fights on.
Finally, Yan Xiangtian can no longer retreat. His legs sink into the ground again, his small body trembling—not from being hit, but from anger. His withered hands begin to change—he's been provoked by Lu Bu to use his energy form transformation.
Immersed in a beautiful offense, Lu Bu instantly senses Yan Xiangtian's rising momentum. A sense of danger invades his heart, snapping him back to reality. Seeing Yan Xiangtian's state, he knows trouble is coming. Without hesitation, he shouts, "Energy Form Transformation, Falling Star!"
"Energy Form Transformation, Heaven-breaking Swallow!" Yan Xiangtian also cries out sharply. The ear-piercing sound of an ape resounds. In an instant, his hands undergo a transformation.
Even while performing the Energy Form Transformation, Yan Xiangtian remembers his promise. His partial transformation differs from Lu Bu's. As a Holy Warrior, Yan Xiangtian’s partial transformation is truly partial—his arms have turned into a swallow's wings, fully golden feathered wings. A slash of golden wings seems to really tear the sky apart, reaching Lu Bu before anyone could see how it happened.
Lu Bu also completes his Energy Form Transformation, barely managing a full-body transformation. Now, Lu Bu has become a super-large arrow, with both fists merged into the arrowhead, his body straight, becoming the long arrow shaft. The entire arrow flashes with brilliant red and white light, shooting toward Yan Xiangtian's wings like a falling star.
Falling Star Arrow versus Heaven-breaking Swallow.
BOOM!
The ground violently shakes, like an earthquake. Buildings sway, trees tremble. A cloud of dust rises, countless shattered stones fly everywhere. The green leaves are swept up by strong winds, becoming casualties of the battle between Lu Bu and Yan Xiangtian. Of course, the blue stone slabs have also become rubble.
When the dust settles, Yan Xiangtian is seen crashed against a wall, leaving a human-shaped indentation, spider-web-like cracks covering the entire wall. Two trenches extend from his legs to the point of collision earlier, flanked by newly overturned soil and broken stone slabs. Yet, aside from disheveled hair and torn clothes, Yan Xiangtian is unharmed. His eagle-like eyes lock onto Lu Bu opposite him.
Lu Bu fares much worse. Covered in dust, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his hands swollen like steamed buns, still trembling. His clothes are completely ruined, hanging in tatters, barely better than sackcloth.
The ground where Lu Bu stands has transformed into a half-meter deep crater, lower in the middle, with a raised rim around it. Lu Bu stands inside, breathing heavily, glaring at Yan Xiangtian.
"Damn! Bad luck. Go wash up, apply some medicine. If it doesn't work, go to the treatment center. Don't hang around here. Do you still want to eat?" Yan Xiangtian walks forward, roaring while kicking the scattered stones. These flying stones pierce into the opposite wall like knives or bullets, quite terrifying.
Hearing Yan Xiangtian's words, Lu Bu doesn't even glance at him, quickly dragging his weary body away from Yan Xiangtian's courtyard.
"No manners at all. Don't even know to say something nice? Damn! I have to pay for repairs myself. What a loss!" Yan Xiangtian's sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, emit a sword-like gleam, scanning the crowd watching the commotion. Then, Yan Xiangtian enters his building, disappearing from sight.
On the road, many students in the academy point and whisper about Lu Bu, quietly discussing why the usually illustrious leader of the Han Group looks so disheveled today, as if trampled by millions of people, so pitiful. Some, seeing Lu Bu not at his best, have already begun scheming to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Lu Bu and make a name for themselves. However, after a three-star Green Warrior was struck by Lu Bu and spat blood retreating, no one dared to take advantage anymore. A tiger may not show its ferocity, but it is still a tiger. Even the chatterbox monkey cannot jump around in front of a tiger.
Ming Lei and others have already reached a decision, waiting for Lu Bu to return and inform him, then go and apply to Yan Xiangtian. They don't yet know that Lu Bu has already been beaten by Yan Xiangtian. Just because they were holed up here, Ming Lei and others didn't know, but others did. Yan Wuyan, Dark Demon, Twin Ghosts, Flower Phase, and others all knew about the battle between Lu Bu and Yan Xiangtian. Although they don't know the exact details, hearing the sounds of the battle, they can guess it was intense. Moreover, their subordinates have already informed them of Lu Bu's appearance after the fight. These few aren't fools, able to analyze Lu Bu's true condition.
The result shocks them a bit. Lu Bu actually has the strength to escape Yan Xiangtian's grasp safely. Though everyone can guess that Yan Xiangtian must have held back for Lu Bu, it's still surprising. None of them would dare to claim that they could walk out of Yan Xiangtian's courtyard under similar circumstances. The best situation would be being carried out.
Regardless of what others speculate, Lu Bu has already returned to his residence. When Lu Bu pushes the door open, Ming Lei and the others can hardly recognize him. It's only after Lu Bu speaks first that they dare to confirm his identity. Seeing Lu Bu's sorry state, they involuntarily recall Yan Xiangtian, shivering collectively as if Yan Xiangtian is right in front of them, ready to punish them.
"Big Brother, did the teacher hit you?" Ming Lei asks.
"He hit me!" Lu Bu says through gritted teeth. He's fearless of death, but though he isn’t as afraid of pain as in his previous life, he still dislikes it.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Wu looks at Lu Bu's hand, which is swollen like a bun, reaching out to touch it.
"Want to try?" Lu Bu extends his hand forward towards Xiao Wu.
"Never mind. I'm scared of pain!" Xiao Wu quickly retreats.
"Big Brother, we want to talk to you about something." Zuo Fei looks at the others, who all look back at him, silently passing the task to him.
"Speak. What is it?" Lu Bu looks at Ming Lei and the others, finding them somewhat strange today, different from usual.
