Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

470 Chapter 470 Crushing Strength

Chapter 470 Crushing Strength

Wang Meng launched a sneak attack and took down one first, gaining the upper hand.

Yun Zirou followed up with an attack and pinned one of them down, but the other blocked her way.

Fortunately, Su Qing made her move. She threw out a light ball, which exploded in front of the enemy like a flash bomb, blinding the enemy’s eyes.

Su Qing could control the flash at will. When the ball of light exploded, it was right before Yun Zirou’s eyes, but Yun Zirou was unaffected.

Only one person remained, and Han Xuefei quickly closed in on him. A terrifying cold air enveloped his body, causing frost to form and gradually freezing it.

In an instant, all four of Zhang Jianlong’s underlings were down.

At that moment, Lu Yu also walked toward Zhang Jianlong.

When Wang Meng was exposed, Zhang Jianlong was surprised but quickly calmed down.

“What a decent ambush; you all hid pretty well and even cleaned up all the corpses. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought you had escaped.”

Zhang Jianlong still felt a weird feeling. After all, even if Lu Yu and the rest set up an ambush here, there was no need to hide the bodies.

“It seems that you have the confidence to fight me!”

He jumped off the horse and patted its butt, and the horse ran into the forest.

“Escaping would’ve been the best choice for you. It’s a pity that you didn’t do that. You made the stupidest choice.”

Lu Yu chuckled. “You’re spouting so much nonsense, and could it prove that you’re stronger than me?”

“I don’t think there’s a need to prove it,” Zhang Jianlong said with a smile.

“Come, then. Let me see where your confidence comes from.” Lu Yu beckoned him over.

“Haha, I should be the one saying that!”

As he said that, he charged toward Lu Yu with his arm covered in a layer of liquid metal!

On the surface, the liquid metal looked like stainless steel with a mirror reflection. However, it flowed around his arm like a liquid and solidified on his forearm, creating a pair of boxing gloves.

Lu Yu hurriedly activated his Eye of the Dragon God and looked at him!

[ Zhang Jianlong ]

[ Talent: Metal Master SS-Level. Able to control metal at will, changing its shape freely. ]

Lu Yu checked his overall strength, skipping his attribute breakdown.

[ Overall strength: Gold rank 7 ]

Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile. His strength was only at gold rank 7 with an SS-Level talent. It was low.

Most of Lu Yu’s 100-man team was around gold rank 5, with a few at gold rank 7. However, most of them were S-level talents, as SS-level talents were rare.

“Your overall ability is gold rank 7, not bad. Your talent is also interesting—being able to manipulate metal.”

Zhang Jianlong was stunned and didn’t know how to react.

“You sure know a lot, but what’s the use? You’ll never be able to get to where my SS-Level brings me in your life!”

“Do you think I was envious of your talent? You must be joking, right?” Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hmph, how dare you look down on my talent. I’ll make you regret it!”

As he said that, he charged toward Lu Yu.

His speed was extremely fast, and he was in front of Lu Yu in the blink of an eye. He then threw a punch at Lu Yu.

He was wearing a huge metal glove on his fist, and the power brought by the glove alone was huge, like a huge iron hammer!

Lu Yu took a step back and dodged his attack quickly. He kicked Zhang Jianlong in the chest, causing him to retreat and almost lose his balance.

Zhang Jianlong took two steps back and barked fiercely, “You’re quite fast, aren’t you? It seems like you’re a tough one!

He could feel that Lu Yu’s speed attribute was definitely higher than his. Neither of them had used any skills in the short exchange, but they had figured out some of the other’s attributes.

For example, Zhang Jianlong’s speed and attack power could be judged from the short exchange.

“You’re unlucky to have met me today. Don’t even think about escaping from me!”

He revealed a ferocious look again and charged at Lu Yu.

He rushed to Lu Yu’s front. At that moment, the metal glove on his arm flowed, forming a thin and long dagger in his palm. He held the dagger and stabbed it toward Lu Yu’s chest.

Lu Yu retreated, avoiding his attacks.

Lu Yu was curious about Zhang Jianlong’s special talent.

How strong could a weapon condensed from that metal be?

If the weapons Zhang Jianlong created were all stronger than normal, wouldn’t he become the greatest weapon craftsman in the world?

Lu Yu started assuming that Zhang Jianlong was wealthy because he could forge any weapons he wished.

“I don’t have time to waste on you. It’s time to end this battle.”

Zhang Jianlong didn’t test Lu Yu’s overall ability, but he knew Lu Yu was definitely at the platinum rank, similar to some of the instructors in a university.

There was a huge gap in strength between each level from the gold rank and above. Those who were one level higher could easily suppress those who were one level lower. If they were two levels lower, nothing could be done to overcome that gap.

The reason was simple. The strength test for this division was a test of overall strength and was an absolute judgment of one’s power.

Of course, there were also special situations, such as ambushes, finding weaknesses, elemental restraints, etc. Because these effects were difficult to account for, there was always the possibility of killing an enemy above one’s level.

Overall, the strength differences between ranks were accurate.

Since Lu Yu’s strength had reached platinum rank, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with a gold rank 7 enemy.

Moreover, Lu Yu’s strength wasn’t reflected in his attributes. It was also largely due to his dragon claws talent and various other skills.

Zhang Jianlong’s continuous attacks forced Lu Yu to retreat and dodge.

Finally, Lu Yu found an opportunity. He raised his leg and kicked Zhang Jianlong’s wrist, kicking away the weapon in his hand. Lu Yu quickly stepped forward, extended his right claw, and stabbed into Zhang Jianlong’s chest.

Squelch!

Lu Yu penetrated Zhang Jianlong’s chest with his right claw, and the wound started to age as wrinkles appeared on his skin.

After taking Lu Yu’s Rotten Claw attack, Zhang Jianlong realized something was wrong.

He backed off and almost knelt on the ground because of the lack of strength in his legs.

He clutched the wound on his chest and stared at Lu Yu in horror.

“You… what did you do to me?”

His chest felt tight, making him a little breathless.

He gulped and looked at Lu Yu nervously.

This claw had awakened him to reality!

“Dammit, what did you do to me?!”

He roared again.

“If you still insist on this attitude, I’ll have to send you on your way.” Lu Yu immediately chastised him.
