Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

After hearing Lu Yu’s inquiry,

they thought that he was just curious and didn’t think much of it.

Tan Jun casually replied, “It’s extremely dangerous to fight against Fearsome Beasts. The corpses and other spoils of war after the battle naturally belong to the beast slayer.”

“That’s right. Everything belongs to the slayer. You can also choose to hand it over to the authorities in exchange for Federation coins or other items of equal value with the Federation,” Jiang Zilong added.

When Lu Yu learned that all of the spoils of war belonged to the slayer, he was instantly tempted.

The other spoils of war were no doubt attractive to Lu Yu, but the corpse of a Fearsome Beast held the greatest appeal to him.

Moreover, during the time when Fearsome Beasts attacked the city, it would be difficult for Lu Yu to increase his strength even if he stayed in the city. He might as well venture out and fight the Fearsome Beasts in person to hunt them down.

According to his memories, the Crimson Haired Warthog’s individual strength wasn’t that strong. Normally, a Grade 7 Martial Arts Warrior would be able to deal with it.

The reason why the threat level this time was high and reached D-class was mainly there were way too many of the Crimson Haired Warthogs.

With Lu Yu’s current strength as a Great Martial Master, it wouldn’t be a problem for him if he were to be besieged by a horde of Crimson Haired Warthogs.

As long as he was careful, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu said straightaway, “I will join in to defend the city!”

The dojo masters, Advisor and the City Lord all looked at Lu Yu in surprise.

......

Of course, it was extremely dangerous to fight the Fearsome Beasts. Most martial arts practitioners avoided them as far as possible, lest they run into danger and become unable to develop their skills further.

Even the powerful martial arts practitioners would not want to take action unless absolutely necessary.

After all, anything could happen in a battle.

Even if one was strong enough to survive, they might still get injured. Once they were injured, it would definitely affect their future training and skills development, and most definitely their skills evolution level.

It was just like that time when Lu Yu participated in the Holy War, where he had been seriously injured.

It was because of the injuries he had sustained during the Holy War that he was unable to cross the threshold to become a Martial Master.

Joining a battle was, in general, an extremely risky venture, but the benefits were relatively mundane.

When City Lord Yan Hong heard this, his face was immediately filled with joy. He repeatedly said, “Good, good, good! If the new Great Martial Master is so enlightened, our city will definitely be able to defend against the attack of these Fearsome Beasts!”

All the dojo masters instantly looked ashamed.

At this moment, another messenger hurried over to report.

“Sir! Bad news! The outer city has been lost and our forces have retreated to defend the inner city. The inner city is also in danger and needs immediate support. The guards can’t hold on much longer!” With a face covered in fresh blood, the messenger reported with great anxiety.

“What? So fast? Looks like the Crimson Haired Warthogs attacking this time are not the usual types!” Jiang Zilong, the dojo master of West Universe Dojo, exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Hong’s expression was even more grim. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

Due to the large size of the city, to accommodate more residents, the city was divided into inner and outer cities.

However, the guards in the outer city were very weak and could only deal with small-scale Fearsome Beasts attacking the city.

Although the moment they discovered that there were Fearsome Beasts attacking the city, the city authorities had already started evacuating the residents of the outer city into the inner city,

they would not be able to evacuate everyone in time under such short notice.

Now that the outer city had fallen so quickly, there would definitely be quite a few casualties.

However, now was not the time to consider these gains and losses. The most important thing was to quickly send reinforcements and defend the inner city.

Yan Hong looked at the dojo masters of the 4 dojos with a serious expression. “Fellow Dojo Masters, stop pushing the responsibility to each other. The situation is more critical this time. All 4 dojos shall take collective action to help out!”

Knowing that the situation was critical, the dojo masters of the 4 dojos no longer tried to avoid going into battle. If they did not make a move now, the inner city would be lost. No matter how much they conserved their strength, with the loss of the inner city, they would still die under the attack of a large number of Fearsome Beasts.

“Yes, Sir!” all 4 dojo masters answered in unison.

Soon, the 4 dojos closed ranks and gathered their forces. Together, they set off with Lu Yu.

The martial arts practitioners in the dojos had a clear division of labor. The powerful ones would climb up the city walls and use the tall city walls to implement their defense tactic.

The weaker practitioners were in charge of evacuating the people as soon as possible.

Lu Yu came to the top of the city wall and observed the surroundings. He immediately frowned.

It was indeed safer to use the tall walls and the weapons on the walls to defend.

However, in this way, he would not be able to obtain the corpses of the Fearsome Beasts he killed.

Moreover, Lu Yu originally wanted to use the act of defending the city as an opportunity to train and develop his own combat skills and experience.

Although it was safe to defend on the city wall like this, he would not be able to get any training. Without the chance to improve his combat skills and gain more experience, this endeavor was not worth it.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yu glanced down at the aggressive charge of the Crimson Haired Warthogs and decided to jump down from the city wall.

Lu Yu didn’t do this on reckless impulse. He only dared to do so because he had a certain degree of confidence.

Dressed in heavy plate armor, these Crimson Haired Warthogs could not touch him at all.

As for Lu Yu, he still had the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and the Shadowstep technique. Coupled with his terrifying strength, dealing with these Crimson Haired Warthogs should be very easy.

Even if he encountered unexpected circumstances, he could always escape easily by utilizing Shadowstep.

On the city wall, the other guards and martial arts practitioners were extremely shocked when they saw what Lu Yu did.

At such a critical moment, they were all focused on protecting their lives. Even with their high level abilities, they were still wretchedly defending, afraid of being injured. However, this person, much to everyone’s disbelief, actually jumped off the city wall and landed right in the midst of the herd of Crimson Haired Warthogs.

For a while, many people on the city wall looked at Lu Yu from time to time to observe the situation down there.

However, they soon discovered to their surprise that Lu Yu wasn’t at a disadvantage at all against an army of Crimson Haired Warthogs. Instead, he continuously slaughtered them, one after another effortlessly!

At this moment, standing in the midst of the Crimson Haired Warthogs, Lu Yu was wielding the damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand.

He circulated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill. With his strength multiplied by 14 times, he was still able to move freely despite wearing the heavy plate armor. He continued to fight with ease.

All around him, large numbers of Crimson Haired Warthogs kept charging towards him.

However, with the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, Lu Yu simply swung and hacked without any technique. He relied solely on his own terrifying strength and the sharpness of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, easily slaying the endless stream of Crimson Haired Warthogs.

This was Lu Yu’s first real battle, but he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he moved with practiced ease.

Lu Yu looked at the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand with some surprise. He didn’t expect it to be so powerful and sharp.

In front of Lu Yu and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, these Crimson Haired Warthogs were totally defenseless.

At this moment, 7 or 8 Crimson Haired Warthogs suddenly charged towards Lu Yu at the same time.

Lu Yu didn’t panic. He simply swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in a horizontal sweep.

Critical Hit Enhancement was triggered, increase by 50%!

In the blink of an eye, all 7 or 8 Crimson Haired Warthogs were eliminated by Lu Yu.

All of a sudden, more Crimson Haired Warthogs nearby were attracted by Lu Yu, and they all charged towards him.

Outside the inner city, the ordinary civilians in the outer city and a small number of martial arts practitioners responsible for evacuating them immediately felt less pressure and felt that they had escaped danger.

All of the civilians were moved to tears when they saw Lu Yu ceaselessly slashing away at the big horde of Crimson Haired Warthogs surrounding him.

If it weren’t for Lu Yu attracting the Crimson Haired Warthogs away from them, many of them would have already died.

“Thank you so much, our savior, our benefactor!”

“Benefactor, you must be careful.”

For a time, Lu Yu was like a demon lord descending from the heavens. He was truly the savior of the world!

Standing alone, he had single-handedly repelled a group of Crimson Haired Warthogs!
