Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 119: The Day of The Final Battle, The Whole City’s Attention!

To any blacksmith, the greatest praise was the forged weapon receiving the affirmation of its user.

Chu Qinglin naturally felt the same way. He gave a scornful snort and said, “Of course! Don’t you know who made this weapon? Back in the capital, many powerful families begged me to forge weapons, but I refused. You should consider yourself lucky.”

Lu Yu hurriedly replied, “Of course. Uncle Qinglin’s forging skills are astonishing beyond words in my eyes.”

“Cut the crap. You didn’t even see the steps I took when I refined the weapon.”

Chu Qinglin glanced at him and his demeanor suddenly became solemn. He warned, “Rascal, let me remind you again. The power behind Yan Hong is not something you can provoke at the moment. Even our Chu family is very wary of him.”

Chu Shiyu had warned him once, and Chu Qinglin had warned him twice. Lu Yu was even more curious about the background of the power backing Yan Hong.

Hence, he cupped his hands respectfully and asked, “Uncle Qinglin, you’ve been keeping me in suspense for so long. If you don’t tell me what faction it is, how am I supposed to take precautions?”

Chu Qinglin frowned and said, “Do you really want to know?”

Lu Yu nodded and said, “Uncle Qinglin, please tell me.”

Chu Qinglin was silent for a moment before telling Lu Yu that the power backing Yan Hong: the Ying family!

In an instant, Lu Yu’s body trembled violently, his eyes filled with shock. He had heard of this Ying family when he was still a Martial Arts Warrior. They were one of the four great families of the Federation.

Grand Masters were the top combat power in Lunan City. They could cover the sky with one hand, but against the Ying family, they could only be considered the most ordinary combat power. Even with Lu Yu’s current strength, fighting against the Ying family was no different from an ant shaking a tree.

Lu Yu had never thought that Yan Hong would have such a powerful backer.

Seeing Lu Yu frown, Chu Qinglin gave a scornful snort. “What? Are you afraid?”

Lu Yu’s reaction was within Chu Qinglin’s expectations. Apart from the cultivators from the four great families, anyone who heard that he had become enemies with the Ying family for the first time would be terrified to death.

However, Lu Yu’s next reaction was far beyond his expectations.

His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Lu Yu laughed heartily, a stern look in his eyes. “Being afraid is the emotion a normal person should have. But if I kept retreating because of fear, I would have been a soft persimmon that others can easily squeeze back then.”

“If the Ying family insists on interfering in the matter between me and Yan Hong, then I’m sorry, but even if the king of heavens comes here, I will give him a slash too!”

After being stunned for a moment, a rare look of admiration flashed across Chu Qinglin’s eyes. He laughed out loud and said, “Hahaha! Interesting! How many years has it been since I’ve heard of someone who dares to go against the powerful families again? However, most of them are long buried with three meters tall grass growing over their graves now.”

As he spoke, Chu Qinglin took out a pitch-black jade tablet from his interspatial ring and tossed it to Lu Yu. On it was a carving of a bull head and a human body. It was unknown what kind of creature it was.

[Black Jade Token (Armor)]

[Level: SS-class]

[Introduction: The soul essence of an SS-class Fearsome Beast is sealed inside. Wearing it can block the full-strength attack of a martial arts expert!]

It was actually a piece of armor!

Most of the armor was leather armor or plate armor. This was the first time Lu Yu had seen this type of armor. When he touched it, he felt a cold sensation overcome his whole body.

Immediately after that, a soul-stirring aura attacked, causing Lu Yu’s heart to shudder. He revealed a shocked expression. “Uncle Qinglin, this is?”

“This is a defensive armor. Remember not to stare at it all the time. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the spiritual power contained within and get injured.”

Chu Qinglin waved his dirty hands and wiped them on the rag beside him. He said, “It can block a fatal blow for you at the critical moment. Remember, you must carry it with you. Now, get lost! I want to rest!”

After being stunned for a long time, a warm sensation welled up in Lu Yu’s heart.

He would never have imagined that Chu Qinglin, whom he had only known for a few days, would give him such a precious item. He thanked him sincerely and didn’t bother Chu Qinglin anymore.

At this point,

as the day of the decisive battle approached, a large number of cultivators had already arrived at Steel Town in the North City District and camped there in advance.

A person at the Grand Master level was the peak of all existences in Lunan City. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to even meet one Grand Master, let alone a group of them fighting here.

It could be said that this was perhaps the most anticipated battle in the history of Lunan City. Be it cultivators, ordinary people, workers or merchants, they were all looking forward to this battle eagerly.

“I’m really looking forward to it. I wonder who will win this battle.”

“The winner will definitely be the War God Asura Qin Jiancheng. He was already a famous Grand Master seventy years ago. Also, that Demonic Duo Swordsmen killed so many people thirty years ago that they struck fear in everyone’s heart.”

“That might not be the case. It only took Honorable Mr. Lu a year to break through from a Martial Arts Warrior to a Grand Master. In the future, he will definitely rise rapidly like a star and be incomparably dazzling.”

In Lunan City, there were two camps arguing about who would win. Yan Hong saw all of this and a cruel expression spread across his face.

No matter what the outcome of this battle was, Lu Yu would definitely die!

Lu Yu’s rise was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, swift and dazzling. In just one year, he had become a Grand Master. However, how could a mere Lu Yu afford to offend the Ying family?

With a single twitch of his finger, ten or even a hundred Grand Masters would be annihilated, not to mention one single Grand Master.

“If Lu Yu wins this battle, he will definitely be destroyed by Lord Ying. If the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo win, City Lord can support them and make them your puppets.”

At the side, Qin Cheng flattered. “City Lord, who has the support of the Ying family, is the true owner of this City Lord’s Office.”

Yan Hong was very receptive to this kind of flattery. Moreover, after receiving Lord Ying’s guidance, his cultivation had achieved a breakthrough. He was feeling very pleased with himself right now. “You know me well, Advisor Qin. In this battle, we only need to sit this one out and reap the spoils later.”

Finally, the day of the decisive battle that everyone was eagerly awaiting arrived!

Steel Town was already bustling with activities. People were already crowding around the area near the dilapidated factory. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, “Look, it’s the people from the West Universe Dojo. They’re here!”

Amidst the crowd of cultivators at West Universe Dojo, Qin Jiancheng walked over step by step at an aged pace. After these few days of recuperation, his health vitality had clearly become more abundant. All of a sudden, he possessed the might of a tiger.

Then, he closed his eyes to conserve and rest his body, and began waiting.

Jiang Yunhu stood behind Qin Jiancheng. When he saw Qin Jiancheng’s condition, he nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, a few reporters with video cameras raised their microphones and squeezed through the crowd with difficulty. When Jiang Yunhu saw that an elder from the West Universe Dojo was about to chase them away, he gave him an eye signal and the elder tactfully retreated.
