Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 61 Hong's Challenge
The following morning, a guest arrived at the Zijing Pavilion.

The newcomer looked to be in his early twenties, about 1.9 meters tall, dressed in black with a buzz cut. At first glance, he looked like a spear about to pierce the sky.

"Master Hong, please have a seat."

Welcome Hong into the living room, and Lu Jin asked his assistant to serve tea.

Before long, the tea was served.

“Good tea~”

Hong took a sip of tea and exclaimed in admiration.

The tea is naturally of high quality; nowadays, Lu Jin enjoys special treatment.

"I wonder what business Master Hong has with me?"

Lu Jin got straight to the point.

"I heard from Jia Yi that the reason Jiang Long and the other six were able to break through was because you, Speaker Lu, provided a treasure, and you were willing to exchange it for it, so I came."

As he spoke, Hong opened the silver metal box he had brought and placed it on the coffee table.

Lu Jin was very familiar with the items inside the box; they were the Tier 3 low-grade telekinetic weapon, the Sky Shuttle, which was worth 5 billion Black Dragon Coins in the universe.

"The treasure is called Planetary Life Source Liquid. One dose is enough to enable a peak-level War God martial artist to break through to the Planetary level."

"If a councilor who has just entered the Planetary Tier 1 uses it, their level can be raised to the peak of Planetary Tier 1. I wonder, Master Hong, how many portions of Planetary Life Source Liquid do you intend to exchange for this Sky-Piercing Shuttle?"

Lu Jin asked Hong.

"Speaker Lu, whatever you say is fine."

Hong said nonchalantly.

It's not that Hong doesn't want more planetary-level life essence, but he currently has a need for it, while Lu Jin has no need for the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

As far as he knew, Lu Jin already possessed a Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

A single Sky Shuttle consists of 365 blades, and Hong believed that this many blades would be enough for Lu Jin's use.

If he makes exorbitant demands and the deal falls through, he himself will be the one who suffers the loss.

After all, he's a martial artist; what use would it be for him to keep a weapon specifically for mental cultivators?

"Master Hong, you should name your price."

Lu Jin kicked the ball back.

If this deal goes through, Hong will definitely be the one who loses.

He felt uneasy about taking advantage of Hong's ignorance and ripping him off, so he decided to let Hong name his own price.

Upon hearing this, Hong tentatively asked, "Chairman Lu, you also have the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, so you should know that it is far superior to ordinary throwing knives. Therefore, five portions of Planetary-level Life Source Liquid?"

Hong was not unaware that the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, placed in the universe, was very likely a treasure used by a stellar-level mentalist (actually a cosmic-level) powerhouse.

But that was in space, and this is Earth.

In his view, Lu Jin must not have much planetary-level life essence in his hands; he would be lucky to get five portions.

Lu Jin: "."

Foolish Hong Datou, he really has no knowledge!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin said, "Ten portions, Master Hong, you've had a tough time before too."

Ten planetary-level life source crystals are equivalent to ten planetary-level life source crystals, and the manufacturing cost is only the corpse of a fourth-tier planetary king-level monster.

Upon hearing this, Hong felt a surge of bitterness in his heart and wished he could slap himself a few times.

Big loss!

Since Lu Jin was able to raise the price from five portions to ten portions, it is clear that the value of the Sky-Piercing Shuttle in Lu Jin's eyes is much higher than ten portions of Planetary Life Source Liquid.

However, since he had already set a price, and Lu Jin had even raised the price on top of his initial offer,

Even if he knew he was selling the Sky Shuttle at a loss, he still had to bite the bullet and sell it anyway, otherwise what kind of person would he be?
Subsequently, the two parties completed the transaction.

Lu Jin acquired his second Sky Shuttle, while Hong obtained ten bottles of Planetary-level Life Source Liquid.

"Speaker Lu, now that the deal is done, how about we have a friendly competition?"

Hong Yueyue was eager to try. Undeniably, Hong possessed a martial spirit.

Lu Jin's ability to kill two beast kings in the deep sea demonstrates his extraordinary strength.

Having such a strong opponent as a sparring partner will help him reach a higher level in martial arts.

Lu Jin glanced at Hong and nodded.

Hong had voluntarily stepped down, making him too embarrassed to challenge him.

Hong's invitation to spar is an opportunity for him to demonstrate some of his strength to the world.

After this battle, all factions will surely realize that he, as the First Speaker, not only has great achievements, but also a powerful fist!

Moreover, his fist was so big that it could instantly kill the former First Speaker.

Two figures stood hundreds of meters apart in the wilderness outside Kyoto base city.

"war!"

With his spear pointing straight ahead, Hong shouted, and a layer of black appeared on his skin, manifesting the Black God Armor.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding world completely distorted, leaving only blackness, as if a miniature black hole had appeared in mid-air.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's mind raced, and a surge of blue light spread out, revealing a water domain.

'The realm of water?'

Looking at the blue aura emanating from Lu Jin's body, Hong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, he wasn't the only one on Earth who wielded the power of a domain; Lu Jin also possessed one.

However, the next moment, Hong was utterly shocked.

As the two domains collided, Lu Jin's water domain caused his light domain to retreat in defeat, completely outmatched.

'My field of light is actually inferior to Lu Jin's field of water?'

Hong thought in shock.

What Hong didn't know was that this wasn't because his light domain was inferior to Lu Jin's water domain.

On the contrary, the truth is that his mastery of light is stronger than Lu Jin's mastery of water.

After all, Lu Jingang had just obtained the Water Domain, and it wasn't something he comprehended through his own comprehension. Therefore, his skill in using the domain was definitely inferior to that of Hong, who had mastered it for many years.

The reason why Hong's field of light is currently suffering setbacks is entirely because Hong's strength is far inferior to Lu Jin's.

Hong's level is the peak of the sixth level of the planetary realm, while Lu Jin's level is the peak of the ninth level of the planetary realm, making Lu Jin's basic level eight times that of Hong.

Furthermore, Lu Jin's life gene level is ten times higher, and in terms of foundation alone, it is a full eighty times that of Hong.

Given such a huge gap in fundamental strength, even if Hong's field of light is much stronger than Zhilu Jin's field of water, he still cannot be a match for him.

The next second, Lu Jin thought for a moment, and a Sky-Piercing Shuttle blade transformed into a silver-gray stream of light and shot out.

Knowing that there was a huge gap between Hong and himself, Lu Jin did not use his full strength, nor did he use the Mountain Drilling Cone. His mental power was more than enough to control a Sky Shuttle Blade for a normal attack.

A streak of silver-gray light shot out, and Hong thrust out his spear with lightning speed.

"clang--"

A crisp metallic sound rang out as the spear struck the side of the Sky Shuttle blade with pinpoint accuracy, knocking it away.

However, after the blade was knocked away, it immediately drew an arc in mid-air under Lu Jin's mental control and continued to shoot towards Hong Fei.

This time, because the distance was too close, Hong had no time to react.

"boom--"

A violent explosion rang out, and the Sky Shuttle blade, carrying immense force, struck Hong's chest at a horizontal angle.
