However, while in shock, Lu Yu was still attempting to struggle out of the immobilized state caused by Master Yuan sealing his acupoints just now.

After all, Master Yuan's incredibly swift strike was about to pierce his forehead!

This strike from Master Yuan was full of power; if struck, Lu Yu would die instantly with no chance of survival!

But Lu Yu had been struck numerous times by Master Yuan, with countless sealed acupoints making it difficult to break free in an instant.

At this very moment, a sense of life-threatening danger instantly surged into Lu Yu's mind!

This feeling of life-threatening danger was something Lu Yu was all too familiar with; he felt it the first time he encountered a beast when he was thrown onto a deserted island.

He felt it during battles in pitch-dark cages.

He also felt it during his training with the Assassin Alliance!

Such a life-threatening sensation surged into Lu Yu's mind once again at this very moment!

This feeling was extremely familiar to Lu Yu because before returning, he had felt it countless times!

At this moment of life-threatening danger, Lu Yu gritted his teeth, struggling fiercely to break free from the immobility before Master Yuan's strike landed!

After all, Lu Yu had not yet avenged his great enemy; he absolutely could not die here!

"Boy, give up!"

Suddenly, at the moment he was about to jab Lu Yu's forehead with a finger, Master Yuan spoke, "I've completely sealed your acupoints; now you can't possibly break this sealing effect instantly!"

"You're a worthy opponent, so you won't feel any pain this time. Today, you shall die quietly here!"

After speaking, Master Yuan's sword finger instantly jabbed at Lu Yu's forehead, and a surge of power rushed towards Lu Yu's head!

No!

I cannot die!

The great enmity against my parents remains unavenged; I absolutely cannot die easily; the enemies are still at large, and I absolutely cannot die on the spot!

At the moment Master Yuan's sword finger stabbed Lu Yu's forehead, Lu Yu felt the immense force and screamed in his heart, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness!

Now that his great vengeance remains incomplete, he absolutely cannot die so recklessly!

At this moment, Lu Yu thought angrily in his heart!

Yet, at the moment of Lu Yu's fierce roar in his heart, his body suddenly stiffened, and the muscles on his whole body bulged, instantly emanating a conspicuous golden hue!

"What!?"

Seeing the conspicuous golden color on Lu Yu's muscles, Master Yuan was extremely shocked.

He never expected that at this moment, Lu Yu would undergo such a change!

Bang!

At the instant Master Yuan's sword finger struck Lu Yu's forehead, a dull sound was heard, and Lu Yu's head suddenly tilted backward, evidently attacked by a massive force!

But even so, Lu Yu's head was not pierced by Master Yuan's finger!

Taking on Master Yuan's strike, the golden hue on Lu Yu's body fiercely flickered.

This golden hue seemed to coat Lu Yu's body in a layer of gold powder, making it extremely conspicuous.

This golden hue seemed like armor that looked extremely shocking at first glance!

But amid this shock, the golden hue also quickly subsided, absorbed back into Lu Yu's body as if it had never appeared.

Although this golden hue appeared for just a moment, it neutralized Master Yuan's deadly blow.

Lu Yu's previously immobile body instantly regained its ability to move, feeling entirely refreshed without any discomfort.

If one observed Lu Yu's wrist carefully at this moment, they would notice the instrument on his wrist showing a constantly fluctuating forty-five percent!

Under the life-and-death impact just now, Lu Yu finally truly reached forty-five percent.

However, the values on the instrument didn't dim, and the numbers above were still rapidly fluctuating.

"It seems I am not destined to die!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Lu Yu slowly spoke.

As he spoke, hot breath emerged from his mouth, akin to speaking in the harsh cold, making it very striking!

Evidently, under the threat of death, Lu Yu's genes instantly strengthened significantly.

"Under the threat of death, a person's potential truly is limitless!"

Speaking slowly, Lu Yu's voice was full of depth, and at this moment, he slowly clenched his fists, saying, "I can feel that there is still considerable potential within me!"

"However, I need to verify how much potential there still is!"

At this moment, Lu Yu spoke while his fists suddenly tightened, his entire body exerting force all at once, and he involuntarily let out a low shout: "Hah!"

Buzz!

At the moment Lu Yu let out this low shout, his body turned golden once more, this hue extremely conspicuous, like armor covering Lu Yu's body, appearing extremely shocking!

At the instant the golden hue appeared, Lu Yu felt an immense augmentation of his bodily power, with strength and speed greatly surging!

At this moment, if one were to observe Lu Yu's wrist carefully, they would find that following Lu Yu's low shout, the value had already changed to fifty percent!

Under the prior threat of death, Lu Yu didn't just break through the forty-five percent barrier; he leapt directly to fifty percent!

"Good, kid!"

Seeing the golden hue covering Lu Yu's body, Master Yuan exclaimed with admiration, "To have such a breakthrough under the threat of life is truly surprising!"

"Since that's the case, let me see what progress you have made!"

Saying this, Master Yuan's body flickered, and he suddenly jabbed his finger towards Lu Yu's forehead again!

Whoosh!

This jab carried an even sharper force, piercing the air as it fiercely thrust towards Lu Yu's forehead.

This jab was extremely powerful; if it landed not just on a person, even an iron giant would have a hole pierced through!

Bam!

With a light sound, Master Yuan's jab landed unreservedly on Lu Yu's forehead.

However, enduring this extremely sharp jab from Master Yuan, Lu Yu's head merely tilted slightly, but he was not significantly harmed!

"How is this possible!?"

Seeing Lu Yu taking his jab head-on without dodging and without getting hurt, Master Yuan was shocked.

He never imagined that Lu Yu could withstand his sword finger jab without any reaction!

Thinking of this, Master Yuan, despite his surprise, didn't hesitate at all, jabbing once more fiercely aiming for Lu Yu's heart!
