Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

After sensing the changes in his physical attributes, Lu Yu looked at his two newly acquired skills.

[Satiety State]

Level: D-class

Effect: Passive skill. Strength will be greatly increased compared to empty stomach state when host is full!

[Flowing Fin Transformation]

Level: C-class

Effect: Active defensive skill. After activation, it can transform external strength into its own and use it to attack!

Satiety State was another augmentation type skill.

However, this time it was a passive skill. As long as he was full, it would automatically activate itself.

As for the actual degree of the enhancement, Lu Yu did not know yet, but based on the level of D-class, he guessed that it was not weak.

Combining the augmentation skills from before, Lu Yu’s battle prowess was greatly elevated once again.

As for the Flowing Fin Transformation skill, it surprised Lu Yu somewhat. It was a very high-level defensive skill with a C-class rating that he could activate when needed.

Lu Yu immediately recalled the appearance of the bluefin tuna. It could retract its dorsal fin to reduce the resistance, and then combined with the aerodynamic profile of its body, make use of the water currents to increase its swimming speed.

......

The power of this Flowing Fin Transformation skill seemed to be similar. It could absorb the power from the outside world and channel it for its own use, achieving a big effect with relatively little effort.

Lu Yu was filled with anticipation. It seemed that he had to find some time to test his own combat strength.

After eating eight portions of the wild bluefin tuna, Lu Yu was also full. He then ordered some fruits and drinks and began to enjoy them with contentment.

At the table, his wife and children were happily enjoying the delicacies.

The passersby on the street outside cast their envious gazes toward Lu Yu’s family.

Not only was the food in a restaurant of the Martial Master level delicious, but it was also a symbol of status. It was an honor that ordinary people or Martial Arts Warriors were extremely envious of.

Right at this moment, the tester who had administered the test for Lu Yu came to the entrance and inquired with the staff in the restaurant. He wanted to speak to Lu Yu about something.

After the waiter informed Lu Yu, he came to the entrance.

“Good day, Mr. Lu. I’m He Dong. I was the tester in charge of your test today. Do you remember me?” He Dong said with a smile.

His tone was still polite, but it lacked the respect that he had shown to Lu Yu after the test today.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. Naturally, he remembered this tester and asked outright, “What do you want from me?”

“It’s like this.” He Dong started explaining. “The higher-ups have just informed us that they are a little suspicious of your results. It’s possible that there’s a problem with the testing equipment, so they hope that you can choose a day to go to the main dojo to take further tests. Between now and then, the badge of an Intermediate Martial Master has to be temporarily taken back. As for the 30,000 coins of federal allowance, you can use it for the time being. We can decide who gets to keep it after the main dojo test!” 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

When Lu Yu heard this, his face hardened and he replied with a sneer,

“How interesting. This test was personally administered by you. You have also checked the testing equipment at that time, and confirmed that it was indeed fine.”

“Besides, even if there’s a problem with the equipment, it’s your responsibility!”

“In the end, even if the test result was really wrong, why didn’t you say so back then? Why did you have to bring it up only now? What’s the whole point of doing that?”

After listening to Lu Yu, the tester was at a loss for words and did not know what to do.

At that time, he had also suspected that there was something wrong with the results. However, after checking it a few times, there was indeed nothing wrong with it. That was why he did what he did.

However, he did not expect that after the video of the assessment was uploaded, the higher-ups became suspicious, which led to the current situation.

At this moment, the conversation between the two had been overheard by the restaurant staff and some customers. They were busy spreading this news back and forth. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Very soon, it spread to the restaurant owner’s ears. The gossip was that Lu Yu wasn’t a real Intermediate Martial Master and was pretending to be one in order to dine here.

Martial Master restaurants only served Martial Masters and experts above this rank. No one else would be entertained.

This was the rule. If he broke it, the restaurant owner would also be punished by the higher-ups.

Immediately, the restaurant owner rushed out angrily.

“I’d like to see who dares to pretend to be an Intermediate Martial Master and eat at my Resplendent East Restaurant! This guy must have balls of steel!” The restaurant owner roared angrily.

At the entrance, there were already some gawking onlookers.

The boss’s furious roar attracted even more onlookers.

At this moment, the boss had arrived in front of Lu Yu. The boss was of a tall, muscular build and he glared at Lu Yu, shouting, “I’m the boss of this restaurant, Wang Kang. Are you pretending to be an Intermediate Martial Master to dine here? Let me tell you, if you pretend to be a Martial Master to sneak into a Martial Master restaurant, I’ll send you to prison!”

The surrounding bystanders were also busy gossiping in low voices.

“What’s going on? So this old man isn’t a Martial Master?”

“No wonder his family looked so surprised when they entered. It’s probably their first time at a Martial Master Restaurant.”

“I’ve seen many people like him. They have never been to a Martial Master Restaurant in their life, so they pretended to be one in order to come in just once!”

“Even if he’s pretending to be a Martial Master, he shouldt pretend to be a Grade 1 Martial Master. Pretending to be an Intermediate Martial Master? Is he out of his mind?”

“What’s wrong with this guy? He’s so old that he wants to experience the Martial Master Restaurant once before dying, but why did he have to bring his whole family along? Isn’t this harming his entire family?”

“…”

Lu Yu fixed an icy glare at the restaurant owner Wang Kang.

Immediately, the brawny restaurant owner, Wang Kang, felt a chill in his heart. He became frightened by Lu Yu’s gaze and didn’t dare to speak anymore. He stood aside and stared at the tester.

As Lu Yu listened to the heated discussion around him, his expression rapidly clouded over.

He genuinely had the strength of a Martial Master to begin with. Never mind the fact that he had been misunderstood, they had also ruined his reputation in public. How could he give in to these people?

Lu Yu said sternly, “There’s no need to choose another day. Rather than choosing another day, let’s just do the test today! But, this isn’t my responsibility. I won’t waste my time to repeat the test. If any of you don’t believe in my results, then let him test me personally. Otherwise, don’t spread rumors and slander my name here!”

With these words, Lu Yu fully released his aura.

The aura of an Intermediate Martial Master was completely released, and the people all around him were instantly intimidated by this aura.

Even some of the Martial Masters frowned. This aura seemed to be even more powerful than a Martial Master!

The tester felt the strong aura and secretly felt very troubled.

His superiors were suspicious, but he was the one who had to break the bad news. Being caught in the middle was really difficult.

If there really was a problem with his results, then it was fine, because he wouldn’t have anything to worry about, so he wasn’t afraid of offending Lu Yu.

However, if the results were authentic, he would be in serious trouble this time.

Sensing Lu Yu’s aura, the tester, He Dong also felt the great pressure. He himself was only an Intermediate Martial Arts Warrior.

“I… I understand. I’ll go now!” He Dong nodded repeatedly.

With that, He Dong rushed back to inform his superiors.

At this moment Lu Yu’s wife, Giovanna, and their children also heard the rumors spreading like wildfire in the dining hall that someone had been caught pretending to be a Martial Master. Since Lu Yu hadn’t returned, the three of them nervously went downstairs to check on the situation.

When they arrived on the first floor, they saw Lu Yu at the entrance, surrounded by the restaurant owner, waiters, and a crowd of passersby.
