Chapter 65: Spring Surge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the Shadowstep, Lu Yu leaped to the front of the Sky Spring Giant Croc in a flash.

He activated a series of skills and slashed out in one stroke, but all of his movements only lasted for an instant.

The other Sky Spring Giant Crocs recovered their senses just then and tried to rush towards Lu Yu.

However, Lu Yu’s blade had already descended, taking away a Sky Spring Giant Croc at the side in one shot, instantly killing it!

The Sky Spring Giant Croc nearest to Lu Yu began charging towards him.

Lu Yu activated the Flowing Fin Transformation Skill in time, and his full-body defense received a terrifying increase.

As the strike landed on Lu Yu’s body, it didn’t cause any damage to him at all.

On the other hand, Lu Yu relied on the power of the Flowing Fin Transformation Skill to redirect the force to counterattack. He slashed at this Sky Spring Giant Croc again and dispatched it in one stroke.

In an instant, Lu Yu easily eliminated two powerful B-class Fearsome Beasts, the Sky Spring Giant Crocs.

Seeing this, the other Sky Spring Giant Crocs were frightened off and quickly retreated into the water to escape.

When they saw Lu Yu’s terrifying combat strength, those powerful B-class Fearsome Beasts Sky Spring Giant Crocs didn’t dare to attack anymore and chose to escape instead.

When Lu Yu saw their reaction, he was also somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect to frighten off that bask of Sky Spring Giant Crocs with a few moves like that. They were really timid.

However, Lu Yu didn’t go after them. After all, this was the inner part of the blood-sucking wasteland. There were definitely many powerful Fearsome Beasts still lurking around.

......

The reason Lu Yu had used his full strength just now was to end the battle as soon as possible and cause as little commotion as possible to avoid attracting the other Fearsome Beasts.

At this moment, these Sky Spring Giant Crocs had actually chosen to escape. Lu Yu was naturally happy about this outcome since it saved him a lot of work.

However, he was slightly disappointed in one aspect. Lu Yu had originally wanted to use this battle to test the power of his newly obtained B-class skill, Bloodlust.

Much to his surprise, the battle had ended not long after it began. He had no time to test out his skill at all. It seemed that he could only wait for the next time to try it.

Following that, Lu Yu looked at the corpses of the two Sky Spring Giant Crocs on the ground.

As B-class Fearsome Beasts, the flesh of these Sky Spring Giant Crocs would naturally bring Lu Yu a lot of increase in strength if he were to cook it and consume it.

Then again, when Lu Yu looked at his interspatial ring, he discovered that there wasn’t enough space in there.

The corpses of these Sky Spring Giant Crocs were so massive. If the space was only meant for these two huge corpses, it could still barely fit them in. However, after putting them in there, the storage in Lu Yu’s interspatial ring would probably be filled up and he wouldn’t be able to put anything else in it.

After this, Lu Yu still needed to obtain the ingredients for the Sky Valley Culinary Method and he had to rescue people. He would definitely have to venture deeper into the blood-sucking wasteland and encounter other Fearsome Beasts.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then put one corpse of the Sky Spring Giant Croc into the storage space of his interspatial ring. He didn’t bother with the other corpse and simply discarded it there.

Although it was a pity, Lu Yu reminded himself that he would encounter even stronger Fearsome Beasts later, and he no longer dwelt on it.

Following this, Lu Yu came to the bank of the Sky Spring and began filling up his bottles with water.

At the same time, he carefully observed the situation below the surface of the water. It was crystal clear and he did not discover anything.

It seemed that there was only that float of Sky Spring Giant Crocs lurking here. Since he had frightened them off, there was naturally no danger now.

After filling all the bottles belonging to Qin Yong and his teammates, he filled two more bottles for himself and put them into the storage of his interspatial ring. He would use them for cooking later using the Sky Valley Culinary Method.

Lu Yu peered at the Sky Spring Water curiously.

If the Sky Spring Giant Croc could become so strong after drinking the Sky Spring Water for a long time, other Fearsome Beasts and even humans should be able to achieve the same result.

However, it was probably only effective if it was consumed for a long time.

Then again, Lu Yu had the Gluttony Talent, so there might be an unexpected surprise in store for him.

At this thought, Lu Yu took a few large gulps.

The clear refreshing spring water tasted sweet and was extremely tasty.

At the same time, a notification appeared in front of Lu Yu.

[Ding! Detected that host has drunk rare Sky Spring Water. Received: Spring Surge (A-class)!]

When Lu Yu saw the notification, he was pleasantly surprised. He didn’t expect it to really work, and it even brought him an A-class skill. This level was also higher than the level of the skill he had obtained from the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros!

Lu Yu hurriedly read through the effects of his newly acquired skill.

[Spring Surge]

Level: A-class

Effect: Master the power of the spring water to freely use the power of the spring water to attack, defend, and assist. The specific effect needs to be explored confidently!

After reading the introduction, Lu Yu was overjoyed. He wasn’t expecting to receive a water-attribute skill.

This Spring Surge was somewhat similar to the Red Lotus Battle Energy. The latter was a fire-attribute skill, while the former was a water-attribute skill. They could both be deployed freely and could be used to attack or defend. This new skill had many uses, which Lu Yu would have to explore and expand on his own.

As an A-class skill, its power was naturally very strong.

By now, Lu Yu had accumulated two powerful attribute skills, both of which he could deploy freely. On top of that, they were opposing attributes.

It was almost impossible for other martial arts practitioners to encounter this kind of thing. Skills of opposing attributes would inevitably repel each other, causing their uses to go berserk.

However, there didn’t seem to be such a conflict on Lu Yu’s body. Due to his Gluttony Talent, he was able to possess these two skills concurrently harmoniously, thus unlocking the abilities of these new skills and the power they could unleash.

Both skills with opposing attributes were firmly grasped by Lu Yu, without any negative effects on him.

Lu Yu remembered that if he could fuse the two opposing attributes to use in a combo attack, he would be able to unleash an even more terrifying power.

It seemed that when he had time later, he would have to spend some time to understand this aspect. If he could really fuse the power of the fire-attribute and water-attribute, this would become a powerful killing weapon for Lu Yu!

However, right now as he did not have the time to study it, Lu Yu would also not take the risk to try it out either. He had to familiarize himself with it before trying it out. Otherwise, it would be problematic if he were to go berserk.

After packing up everything, Lu Yu returned to look for Qin Yong and the others.

At this moment, Qin Yong and the others were very nervous. They heard some sounds of battle coming from the direction of the Sky Spring earlier, and they surmised that it was very likely that the battle involved Lu Yu.

Although the sound of the battle wasn’t loud, the battle sounded very furious and full of power.

The strange thing was, after two rounds of battling sounds, everything fell silent.

Qin Yong and the others couldn’t figure out what was going on.

On one hand, they were worried that Lu Yu was in danger and they wanted to go and help.

On the other hand, they remembered Lu Yu’s instructions telling them not to go over if they heard any commotion. They were also worried that by going over, they would become a burden to Lu Yu.

Just as Qin Yong and the others were feeling extremely anxious and worried for Lu Yu, they saw Lu Yu returning from afar, and he had more bloodstains on his body now.

“Captain Lu, are you all right?”

“Honorable Mr. Lu, you’re back!”

When Qin Yong and the others saw Lu Yu, they immediately went up to him eagerly and looked worriedly at the blood stains on his body.

Lu Yu looked down at the blood stains on his body and said with a relaxed expression, “I just encountered some Fearsome Beasts and dealt with two of them. This is their blood, not mine. You don’t have to worry.”
