Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating



114 Hidden Grand Master

“On the surface, there seems to be only two Grand Masters in this Lunan City, Yan Hong and Jiang Yunhu. In fact, there are other hidden Grand Masters. They are a group of Grand Masters who have gone through and survived the Holy War.”

The words that tumbled from Chu Qinglin’s mouth gave Lu Yu a big shock.

Lu Yu knew full well how valuable these Grand Masters who survived from the time of the Holy War were.

These guys were the real deal. They had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Their combat skills and experience were incomparably rich. They were well above those succeeding generations of Grand Masters who developed themselves by simply relying on the resources of the various major factions.

Although Lu Yu himself was a Great Grand Master, he could not let his guard down when dealing with such Grand Masters.

Chu Qinglin continued. “The Lunan City under your feet might be an inconspicuous small city, but there are too many intertwined interests involved behind it. There are many people you can’t afford to offend, who are plotting in the dark.”

Lu Yu was genuinely bowled over by the information revealed by these words.

He couldn’t help but recall a rumor that City Lord Yan Hong had a large faction backing him. Chu Qinglin didn’t mention it, and Lu Yu didn’t ask further because he knew that this was something he wasn’t qualified to know at present.

However, Lu Yu believed that with his Gluttony Talent, he would one day come into contact with these things.

“Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Qinglin. I will take note.”

Despite what Lu Yu promised verbally, inwardly he didn’t think in the same way. How could he not retaliate when others were trying to kill him? He, Lu Yu, wasn’t a lamb that would allow himself to be led to the slaughter so meekly.

Chu Qinglin nodded. Before he left, he asked for the crystal core of the Skyfire Red Lion, saying that the Blood Emperor Battle Saber had mutated. This crystal core was the perfect material to use for refining the Blood Emperor Battle Saber into a peerless saber.

A moment later, Lu Yu used the Sky Valley Culinary Method to cook the head of the Skyfire Red Lion. He cooked half of it using the Flame Roasting method, and the remaining half was cooked using the Spring Water Stewing method. With the upgraded Red Lotus Battle Energy, Flame Roasting it was much simpler than before.

More than four hours later, the entire Central Dojo was filled with a mouth-watering aroma, greatly increasing one’s appetite.

This meat of an S-class Fearsome Beast was incredibly delicious. Not only was the meat of the Skyfire Red Lion extremely crispy and fragrant, with a sufficiently chewy texture, but it also contained a pure power that surged into Lu Yu’s lower abdomen.

[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the sinew meat of the Skyfire Red Lion. Received: Strength +1148!]

[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the breast meat of the Skyfire Red Lion. Received: Health Vitality +1176!]

…

At this moment, a large amount of the Skyfire Red Lion’s meat was piled up inside Lu Yu’s stomach, and he urgently needed to refine it.

“It smells so good. Lu Yu, what are you eating?”

Song Yu and Qin Yong were attracted by the aroma. When they saw this scene, they drooled and began craving it.

Lu Yu chuckled softly and said, “It’s the meat of the Skyfire Red Lion. You can take these and share them with the rest.”

After all, he was not lacking this bit of health vitality and strength replenishment. On the contrary, the cultivators in the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron urgently needed to increase their strength.

Song Yu and Qin Yong distributed the portions of the Skyfire Red Lion’s meat with the people under their command.

After Qin Yong ate it, a scorching energy erupted from his abdomen, surging outwards with a violent aura. Instantly, he broke through the peak level of the Martial Master stage and was only one step away from becoming a Great Martial Master.

As for Song Yu, she had also broken through to the Great Martial Master level 4, successfully crossing into the Intermediate Great Martial Master realm.

She had only been in Lunan City for a short time, yet she had already reached the Intermediate Great Martial Master level. Even within the Song family, no one else had experienced such a rapid breakthrough. She was deeply shocked.

If Song Xiaotian were here, he would also be shocked, and then proud. It was well-known that even in the capital, there weren’t many people among the younger generations who had broken through to become a Great Martial Master, let alone an Intermediate Great Martial Master.

“We’ve broken through!”

“I’ve broken through to the Intermediate Martial Master stage. Why do I feel that my health vitality and strength have increased by more than 30 times compared to usual? I can even take on an Advance Martial Master!”

The capabilities of the members of the 4th squadron could be described as having erupted like a geyser. Seven or eight of them broke through to the Martial Master realm, and three broke through to the Intermediate stage.

The six Martial Masters in the Central Dojo had also broken through to become Advance Martial Masters, making them feel like they were in a dream.

“Thank you for giving me a new lease of life, Dojo Master!”

Seeing Lu Yu come out, the six Advance Martial Masters thanked him in unison and proclaimed excitedly that this was a gift bestowed upon them by Lu Yu.

However, before they could rejoice for long, a violent force rampaged through their bodies. They felt that their bodies were about to explode.

“Don’t get distracted. Hurry up and circulate your cultivation technique to digest this power.”

Lu Yu shouted at them.

The power contained in the meat of this S-class Skyfire Red Lion was still too insanely aggressive and immense. Not everyone had the Gluttony Talent like him and could absorb it perfectly.

Compared to the flourishing Central Dojo, everyone in the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo felt that they were in a precarious position.

Two of the four big dojos had already been destroyed. It was going to be their turn soon.

The combat capability that Lu Yu had displayed made them sink into despair. Apart from Jiang Yunhu, who was still relatively calm, the others were panicking.

Jiang Yunhu also had a deep frown on his face. He couldn’t depend on the City Lord’s Office anymore. As he was carrying the entire West Universe Dojo on his shoulders, he couldn’t fight Lu Yu head-on either.

“I can’t sit back and wait for death anymore. Otherwise, it will only lead to an increase in Lu Yu’s arrogance and make the Central Dojo even more influential.”

Jiang Yunhu slammed his hand on the table and said in a grave voice, “It seems that I have no choice but to invite you out of retirement, my old comrade of yore.”

On this day, Jiang Yunhu secretly left for the old city district in an inconspicuous car.

Compared to the new city district, this place was dilapidated, desolate, and the pace of life was slow. It was a stark contrast to the new city district.

The people living here were all old people and young people who couldn’t afford to buy a house in the new city district.

The car stopped in front of a house with green roof tiles.

Even though it was just an ordinary car, in the old city district only the rich could afford a car. Immediately, it attracted a large group of people to gawk. They were swiftly dispersed by the two burly men beside Jiang Yunhu.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?”

A 17 or 18-year-old girl walked out. When she saw the scene before her, she froze in fear.

Jiang Yunhu carefully sized up the young girl and revealed an amiable smile. “Young lady, how old are you?”

The young girl said in a daze, “Eighteen.”

Jiang Yunhu personally handed a bank card to the young girl and said with a smile, “There’s 1.5 million in this card. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Just take it. Your grandfather and I were old friends from a long time ago. Speaking of which, you’re still my junior.”

The onlookers in the distance were completely stunned, their eyes flickering with shock.

This was 1.5 million. Even in the center of the new city district, one could buy a three-bedroom one-hall house and still have money left over.

Just as everyone was wondering what the owner of this house had to do with this rich man, a furious voice roared out, “Return this 1.5 million to him!”

“Jiang Yunhu, don’t think that I don’t fucking know what you’re planning. I’m telling you, I won’t do it!”

An old man with a walking stick walked out shakily. He glared at Jiang Yunhu and berated him, not extending him any courtesy at all.
