Chapter 894 - 893: Phase 3

At this moment, Lu Yu was leaning on the edge of the collapsing cemetery, his entire body shrouded in white gas, presenting a shocking sight.

Lu Yu's entire body now had a faint red tint, as if he were inside a steam room, exuding an intense heat.

At this moment, if a high-precision biological detection device were present, it could easily detect that Lu Yu's body's metabolism was operating rapidly.

At the same time, the five wounds on his chest, which seemed to have been cut by sharp weapons, were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"How, how can this be!?"

Witnessing the scene before him, Zhou Fengming was completely shocked. He could hardly believe what he was seeing: Lu Yu in front of him had such terrifying recovery speed!

Five fresh wounds healing at a speed visible to the naked eye—was this still human?

In just a blink of an eye, the wounds on Lu Yu's chest had healed as if they were never there, the skin smooth and new as if he had never been injured!

In just a blink of an eye, the wounds that seemed like they were cut by sharp weapons had fully healed. Such recovery speed was absolutely terrifying!

"Whew!"

Exhaling slowly, Lu Yu moved slightly and then stood up from the ground. Immediately, his entire body shook, emitting a series of crackling sounds from his bones that were utterly astounding to the ear.

At this moment, if one were to closely observe the device on Lu Yu's wrist, it would be clear that the original information of forty percent and the critical point had vanished, replaced by four bouncing words: Third Stage!

Because of Zhou Fengming's domineering strike just now, Lu Yu instantly broke through his own shackles and directly stepped into the Third Stage!

In the Third Stage, all of Lu Yu's injuries had completely healed, making him look as if he had just taken a bath, rather than having gone through a battle with Zhou Fengming!

"Zhou Fengming, that was really exhausting just now."

Feeling the tangible changes within himself, Lu Yu sneered coldly and then spoke, "Now, we can continue!"

Within his words, Lu Yu's tone was extremely calm. His speech was low; his mind was clear as if he could perceive everything.

"How can this be!?"

Seeing Lu Yu's current state, Zhou Fengming was utterly shocked. He could never have imagined that his full-force blow, Violent Tiger and River, not only failed to kill Lu Yu on the spot but instead turned Lu Yu into this!

"How can this be?"

Hearing Zhou Fengming's incredulous words, Lu Yu chuckled, then pointed to himself and said, "I'll be honest with you, I just used the Genetic Enhancement Potion developed by my parents. Whenever my life is threatened or on the verge of death, the genes in my body will self-enhance, allowing me to reach a new level."

As he spoke, Lu Yu paused, looked at Zhou Fengming in front of him, and said, "Before our battle, I was always bound by a shackle that prevented me from stepping into a new realm, but that kick of yours just now allowed me to successfully ascend!"

"So the way I've become—it's thanks to your kick just now!"

With words understated, Lu Yu's expression was indifferent, as if he were narrating something very simple.

"Genetic Potion enhancement"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Fengming's eyes filled with astonishment and anger. He hadn't for a moment thought that his kick just now had helped Lu Yu so much!

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly and then said, "So, you are no longer of use to me now. I should send you to atone to my parents!"

In his words, Lu Yu spoke with disdain, each word exuding an unparalleled air of indifference. Looking at Zhou Fengming now, it was as if he were looking at a fragile ant that could be crushed at any moment!

"Arrogant words, I'd like to see how you plan to send me to meet your parents!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Fengming's heart filled with anger. He suddenly moved, his form leaving several afterimages as he attacked Lu Yu from an extremely tricky angle!

Upon seeing Zhou Fengming making his move, Lu Yu glanced at him, his heart stirred slightly.

In an instant, Zhou Fengming's incredibly swift speed became exceptionally slow in Lu Yu's eyes. Based on Zhou Fengming's footwork and body coordination, Lu Yu thoroughly discerned Zhou Fengming's attack route!

The Third Stage not only greatly improved the original body's strength, power, and reflexes but, most importantly, directly enhanced the brain, significantly increasing basic memory, intelligence, and thought speed!

The brain is the main area of enhancement in the Third Stage!

Step! Step! Step!

With a series of footsteps, Zhou Fengming indeed followed the attack route Lu Yu had seen through, arriving directly in front of Lu Yu!

"Left foot forward, waist muscles exert force, right leg muscles contract, he's going to use a sweeping kick with his right leg!"

At this moment, just as Zhou Fengming reached Lu Yu's front, Lu Yu instantly read Zhou Fengming's next move through his bodily actions!

As Lu Yu predicted Zhou Fengming's next move, Zhou Fengming twisted his body, launching an incredibly fierce side kick towards Lu Yu's head. The kick was aggressive, fast, and very difficult to dodge!

However, as Lu Yu had already anticipated Zhou Fengming's action, he lifted his right arm, directly blocking Zhou Fengming's vicious sweeping kick. At the same time, he stomped his right foot on the ground, twisting his waist for power, and suddenly delivered a fierce Iron Mountain Lean, crashing hard into Zhou Fengming's chest!

Boom!

With a dull thud, Zhou Fengming, caught off guard, was hit squarely in the chest by Lu Yu's Iron Mountain Lean, sending him flying backward and crashing hard to the ground!

"How is this possible!?"

Getting hit squarely in the chest by Lu Yu's Iron Mountain Lean, Zhou Fengming quickly got up from the ground, his eyes filled with astonishment.

His earlier moves were incredibly tricky and swift, yet Lu Yu, seemingly prophetic, set up a defense in advance, and at the moment of blocking his attack, counterattacked instantly.

This situation truly left him utterly shocked!

"What are you so shocked about, Zhou Fengming?"

Seeing Zhou Fengming's astonished expression, Lu Yu spoke coldly, his words filled with a cold smile, like a lion staring at a terrified lamb, his eyes full of chill and mockery!
