Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating



97 You Guys Don’t Have Much Time

The expressions of the three dojo masters also changed drastically. As they gazed at Lu Yu, a veiled glint flashed across their eyes. No one knew what they were thinking.

The atmosphere at the banquet turned icy cold all of a sudden.

At the same time, Yan Hong’s expression also turned icy cold. He asked in a low voice, “Lu Yu, don’t forget that this is Lunan City. And I’m the City Lord of this city.”

When Song Yu and Qin Yong, who were standing behind Lu Yu, heard that, their expressions also gradually turned menacing. Lu Yu stood up and stood in the center of the great hall. He then said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we are all sensible people. Let’s not beat around the bush.”

He swept his gaze over them. They were all his enemies. These new dojo masters must have been holding high positions in their respective dojos previously. There was no doubt that they knew or even approved of the plan to attack him in the blood-sucking wasteland.

It would be too ridiculous to stand here and pretend that they didn’t know anything.

“Back then, you sent eight powerful experts to attack me in the blood-sucking wasteland. I haven’t forgotten that. I’m afraid it won’t do for you to just let it go.”

“I, Lu Yu, am not someone who speaks in double entendre. I’ll make it clear right now. Destroying the Distant North Dojo is only the first step of my revenge.”

The more Lu Yu spoke, the angrier he became. His voice suddenly turned menacing. “I also admit that I was the one who killed those eight powerful experts. I’ll go after each and every one that I can find. None of you can escape.”

So it turned out that the dojo masters and deputy dojo masters of the four big dojos who perished in the blood-sucking wasteland were all killed by Lu Yu!

Lu Yu’s strength had probably broken through to the Grand Master realm while he was still in the blood-sucking wasteland, which was why he was able to kill eight powerful experts in one go. Instantly, Guan Shan, Xian Xingmeng, and Jiang Yunhu’s bodies trembled, especially the latter two. Fury and murderous intent appeared in their eyes.

One was the wife of the former dojo master of the Southern Star Dojo, while the other was the father of the former dojo master of the West Universe Dojo. They wanted to avenge the deaths of their husband and son respectively.

“Rascal, as I expected, my son had indeed died in your hands.” Jiang Yunhu glared at him, his wide open eyes filled with killing intent.

On the spot, a powerful aura erupted and spread throughout the dojo. The power of a Grand Master was terrifying. However, in the next moment, it dissipated like a mud ox entering the sea, dissolving into nothingness.

Guan Shan, Xian Xingmeng, and Qin Cheng turned ashen-white. They looked at Lu Yu in unison, who remained as still as a mountain, and were shocked beyond words. Even a Grand Master would find it difficult to dissolve the aura of another Grand Master into nothingness.

“Haha! This is so ridiculous. They are allowed to kill me but I am not allowed to kill them in return. How can there be such a preposterous thing in this world?” Lu Yu thought.

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yunhu with an icy gaze and said, “Speaking of which, you guys were the instigators and we were the victims. I haven’t settled the score with you guys yet, but you guys are so full of self-righteousness.”

As he spoke, a Grand Master-level aura erupted suddenly and swept towards everyone present.

At this moment, Yan Hong and Jiang Yunhu’s expressions changed drastically.

This Grand Master-level aura was right above theirs. This also meant that though they were all Grand Masters, Lu Yu’s strength was greater than theirs.

How was this possible? One had to remember that Lu Yu had only just broken through to the Grand Master level, and all of them had been active at the level of Grand Master for many years. Yet, a mere latecomer had emerged and overtaken them in terms of strength, and still managed to suppress them with his aura.

“Could it be that this Lu Yu has broken through again in the past few days?”

Yan Hong’s eyes turned sharp and sinister. This kind of breakthrough speed was driving him crazy with jealousy.

Everyone from the City Lord’s Office and the three big dojos fell silent under Lu Yu’s aura. Even Jiang Yunhu, who wanted to avenge his son, Jiang Zilong, had his aura weakened greatly. His aged face had turned bright red.

“Fine! Fine! Fine! Rascal, just you wait and see!”

After saying ‘Fine’ three times in a row, Jiang Yunhu was the first to leave the venue. He didn’t intend to fight Lu Yu to the death.

Lu Yu allowed him to leave. It wouldn’t be long before he knocked on the doors of West Universe Dojo. Lu Yu would let him live for a few more days. Then, he swept his gaze around and said with a domineering demeanor, “City Lord Yan, you haven’t given me an explanation for attacking me. Then isn’t it reasonable for me to destroy the Distant North Dojo without explanation too?”

Yan Hong’s face darkened ominously, and his expression changed several times. He was suppressed by Lu Yu’s Grand Master aura, and his original plan to interrogate him had no support to lean on.

Moreover, this was Lu Yu’s territory. Who knew what Lu Yu would do?

“I was indeed at fault in this matter. Why don’t we let it go, Lu Yu?”

Yan Hong suddenly laughed out loud and said, “In this world, there is no hatred that can’t be resolved, nor is there an eternal enemy. I believe that we will be able to get along harmoniously in the future.”

Was the City Lord planning to reconcile with Lu Yu?

Xian Xingmeng and Guan Shan’s expressions changed drastically. If this happened, not only would they not be able to exact revenge, but they would also very likely become sacrificial pawns.

Fortunately, Lu Yu’s attitude clearly indicated that he did not intend to reconcile. This made them heave a sigh of relief.

Lu Yu gave a scornful laugh and said, “If you give up the position of City Lord, perhaps we can get along well.”

Yan Hong pressed his hands down on the table, then with a vicious squeeze, he said in a low voice, “Lu Yu, are you joking with me?”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “My Honorable City Lord, it is you who are joking with me.”

Suddenly, Yan Hong couldn’t take it anymore. A flash of anger appeared on his face. “Lu Yu, don’t think that just because you’ve broken through to the Grand Master level, you can be arrogant. There are many people in this world who can deal with you!”

Lu Yu said indifferently, “Then I, Lu Yu, will wait and see.”

Yan Hong was so angry that his nostrils flared outwards. He pointed at Lu Yu and was speechless for a long time. In the end, he snorted heavily and left with a flick of his arm. Qin Cheng followed closely behind. He turned his head and warned, “Lu Yu, you’re finished. You’d better tuck your tail between your legs and run.”

Song Yu unsheathed her Scarlet Flame Sword and gave a scornful laugh, “If you still don’t leave, I’ll attack.”

He didn’t dare to underestimate the threat of a Great Martial Master. Qin Cheng was so frightened that his body trembled. He jogged all the way and caught up with Yan Hong, who was on his way out.

“You two, do you two want me to send you away?” Lu Yu glanced at Guan Shan and Xian Xingmeng and said with a smile, “If that’s the case, then forgive me for being too rough.”

Their faces darkened as they looked at each other. They knew what Lu Yu meant by ‘send’ and stood up straight away.

Lu Yu’s voice rang out, “You two, you should eat and drink merrily during this period of time. You don’t have much time left.”

Guan Shan and Xian Xingmeng trembled and said angrily, “Are you threatening us?”

“Threaten? Not really. I’m just stating a fact.” Lu Yu shook his head and said indifferently, “All the four big dojos, not one less. It’s only a matter of time.”

“Hehe! Lu Yu, should I admire your courage or your ignorance? Do you think you can defeat us just because you destroyed a mere Distant North Dojo?”

Guan Shan said in a low voice, “Don’t think that just because you have reached the Grand Master level, there is no one left in Lunan City who is your match. Let’s wait and see!”

The banquet ended in a tense, saber-rattling atmosphere. Song Yu saw this and curled her lips, saying, “Letting them leave just like that is simply letting them off too lightly. If it were me, I would keep them all here.”
