Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 120: The Battle of the Grand Masters Begins!

“Dojo Master Jiang, hello. I’m a reporter from the Lunan Daily. We’ve learned that Lu Yu has already destroyed two of the four big dojos in a row. Now, his momentum is at its peak. May I ask if you all have any confidence in this battle?”

A young beautiful female reporter with long black hair asked in a friendly manner. Her companion behind her pointed the camera at Jiang Yunhu’s face, its flashlight flashing away endlessly.

Not only that, but the reporters from the other media outlets also swarmed over and began fielding questions.

“Allow me to give an overall answer.”

Jiang Yunhu was refined and courteous in front of everyone. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses, and with his imposing posture, he looked like a scholar. “We have sufficient confidence in this battle!”

“Previously, Lu Yu was able to destroy the Distant North Dojo and the East End Dojo because these two dojos completely underestimated him and were caught off guard totally. In fact, his strength is nothing to be afraid of!”

“And our West Universe Dojo is ranked at the top of the four big dojos. We are not at the same level as those two dojos. In addition, with the War God Asura standing guard, it will definitely be a one-way trip for Lu Yu!”

The female reporter recorded Jiang Yunhu’s words in its entirety and organized them into a script. At this moment, a disdainful voice rang out.

“In my opinion, Lu Yu will definitely not be able to leave this place alive. However, this guy’s head belongs to our Southern Star Dojo. You guys better don’t snatch it.”

Everyone turned around and saw Xian Xingmeng walking over unhurriedly. She was dressed from head to toe in a martial arts suit and had a smile on her face. All the major media outlets rushed over to interview her.

Seeing that Xian Xingmeng had stolen his limelight, Jiang Yunhu’s face darkened and he cursed Xian Xingmeng in his heart.

Who did she think she was? She was just pretending to be more powerful than she was by usurping other people’s might. How dare she show off in front of him?

Just as Xian Xingmeng appeared, Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong arrived soon after. Although they looked to be in their fifties, the moment they appeared, their Grand Master-level aura shocked everyone.

Qin Jiancheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, turned his head immediately and looked at the two of them. The Demonic Duo Swordsmen looked at Qin Jiancheng and nodded in greeting.

The two of them also sensed Qin Jiancheng’s aura and their hearts shuddered.

Although it was as the rumors said, his health vitality had declined greatly and was not as good as when he was at his peak, his aura was still akin to a tiger king. Although he was old, his might was still there!

Three veteran Grand Masters appeared in Steel Town at noon and immediately became the center of attention.

All the cameras were aimed at the three of them from afar.

“Everyone, the day of the decisive battle between Lu Yu and the three Grand Masters has arrived. Today, we will broadcast the great battle between the Grand Masters live!”

“Will Lu Yu fall at the hands of these long famous Grand Masters, or will his momentum shoot to the sky by using them as the stepping stones for himself to lay claim to being the strongest in the whole of Lunan City?”

“Hey, speaking of which, the time is ripe. Why isn’t Lu Yu here yet?”

The reporter who was doing the live broadcast was puzzled. The people who had been waiting for a long time were also a little anxious. Could it be that Lu Yu chickened out?

On second thought, he immediately rejected that possibility!

This was a battle of dignity and reputation. If Lu Yu were to chicken out now, he would not be able to raise his head again in Lunan City in the future.

At the Central Dojo,

the world outside was already anxiously waiting for Lu Yu to appear. As the protagonist, Lu Yu sat cross-legged, his focus completely immersed in the Black Jade Token.

For the entire day, he had been studying this SS-class Black Jade Token. The mental power contained within it made Lu Yu want to use his Gluttony Talent to see if he could gain anything.

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the aura of the Black Jade Token. Received: Energy +33!]

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the aura of the Black Jade Token. Received: Energy +29!]

…

The series of numbers were all double digits, and none of them exceeded 50 points. This made Lu Yu feel a sense of defeat.

In the past, no matter what he absorbed, the increase brought about by his Gluttony Talent was visible to the naked eye. However, with the Black Jade Token, the effect was minimal. It was as if he was squeezing a coin out of a miser.

After a long while, Lu Yu discovered that there was a very discreet hidden barrier on the Black Jade Token that blocked his absorption.

It would take about ten days to break through this barrier in order to absorb the aura inside.

If Chu Qinglin were here, he would have cursed out loud angrily if he saw that Lu Yu was trying his best to break through the barrier.

This was a defensive armor that could block a full-strength attack from a martial arts expert. If it were anyone else, they would treasure it. They would never be like Lu Yu, who was racking his brains trying to break the Black Jade Token!

In the end, Lu Yu temporarily gave up on this idea. At this moment, a disciple from the Central Dojo came to report to him. Only then did Lu Yu remember that today was the day of the decisive battle.

Song Yu had already barged in with a flourish. She widened her beautiful eyes and shouted, “Lu Yu, today is the day of the decisive battle. What are you waiting for?”

Lu Yu changed into a green robe and chuckled softly. “The time is just right, now that I look at it. Let’s go.”

Song Yu scolded, “What do you mean by just right? If you were a step later, everyone in Lunan City would think that you chickened out.”

Finally, the cultivators who had been waiting in Steel Town for a long time saw Lu Yu, who showed up surrounded by the members of the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron.

“Look, Honorable Mr. Lu has appeared!”

“I knew it. How could Mr. Lu have chickened out? Something must have delayed him.”

When the cultivators who were arguing with others saw Lu Yu appear, they shouted excitedly, as if it was themselves who were going to fight.

Lu Yu said, “Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting!”

Gudu Feng carefully sized up Lu Yu for a few seconds and discovered that there was no powerful aura on his body. A disdainful expression spread across his face. As he had expected, Lu Yu was just a cultivator who had just broken through to the Grand Master realm. How strong could he possibly be when he was only at this level?

Then, he said in mockery, “You’re Lu Yu, right? I thought you ran away and dared not fight.”

Naturally, Lu Yu didn’t appear that friendly either. He retorted, “I don’t need to care much about dealing with Grand Masters like you. Killing you is even easier than cutting the weeds by the roadside.”

With one statement, Lu Yu effectively insulted all three veteran Grand Masters. The faces of Gudu Feng, Mei Chaorong, Qin Jiancheng, and Jiang Yunhu right at the back, darkened instantly.

Mei Chaorong said through gritted teeth, “Lu Yu, I hope you still have the courage to say such things later.”

“Cut the crap. Let’s begin. My time is precious!”

Lu Yu waved his hand and said impatiently. His tyrannical and arrogant tone made the surrounding people shout in excitement.

They had barely started, yet they were already engaged in so much saber-rattling, not budging an inch. Wouldn’t things be even more exciting later on?

The three veteran Grand Masters all glared at Lu Yu. The Demonic Duo Swordsmen didn’t have any intention of attacking first, nor did they have any intention of surrounding him in a group assault. As Grand Masters, they still had the dignity of powerful experts and wouldn’t stoop so low.

A moment later, Qin Jiancheng was the first to walk out. His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone’s ears. “In that case, let me be the first to have a look at how capable a rising star like you are.”
