Chapter 83
In the open space,
Lu Yu and the others quietly waited in the surrounding area for Song Yu.
Not long after, a powerful energy fluctuation spread out. The impact of the power wave sent Qin Yong and the others stumbling a few steps back, but Lu Yu and Chu Shiyu didn’t move at all.
Song Yu then opened her eyes at this moment. She stood up and walked over, her eyes filled with joy.
Qin Yong and the others finally understood the situation.
“So Captain Song has broken through to the Great Martial Master level.”
“Congratulations, Captain Song. You’ve reached the Great Martial Master level at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you.”
“That’s right, Captain Song. With such talent, you will definitely become a powerful expert in the future.”
“…”
Qin Yong and the others all congratulated her.
Hearing this, Song Yu was overjoyed.
She had just reached the peak-level of the Martial Master level not long ago. Logically speaking, it would take a long time for her to break through to the Great Martial Master realm.
Even if her family could provide all kinds of rare training resources, she still needed a certain amount of time to stabilize her strength before she could attempt to break through to the Great Martial Master level.
Generally speaking, there was a bottleneck for a Martial Master to break through before he could reach the Great Martial Master level. It depended on one’s talent to determine how long it took to break through the bottleneck.
All in all, Song Yu had already mentally prepared herself to spend half a year or even a year to successfully achieve breakthrough to the Great Martial Master level.
Even if it took one year to break through to the Great Martial Master, Song Yu was still satisfied.
However, much to her surprise, during this mission due to consuming Lu Yu’s mammoth meat, she could directly break through to cross into the Great Martial Master realm.
Earlier, Song Yu had carefully sensed her own strength level, only to discover that it was extremely stable, as if it had come from her own internal progress. There were no signs of instability at all.
In fact, compared to using those rare training resources, eating this mammoth meat led to a more stable leveling up without any hint of future problems!
When Song Yu heard Qin Yong and the others’ congratulations, she felt very happy inwardly. From now on, she was a Great Martial Master expert.
However, Song Yu still waved her hand and said, “Forget it. My current abilities can’t even be compared to Chu Shiyu’s, let alone Lu Yu’s. I must still continue to train well and develop further.”
Qin Yong and the others smiled when they heard that, but they didn’t say anything. The truth was indeed so. Compared to ordinary people like them, Song Yu was already extremely powerful.
However, compared to Chu Shiyu, Song Yu was still inferior.
They were both of the same age, but Chu Shiyu had already reached the Great Martial Master level a long time ago.
As for Lu Yu, he was even more out of their reach. Breaking through one major realm within a day could only happen to a freak like Lu Yu. It was impossible to happen to anyone else.
At this time, Song Yu came up to Lu Yu with a conflicted expression.
Lu Yu had saved her life before. Song Yu had originally wanted to take on this risky mission to inform Lu Yu as a way of repaying his kindness last time. With Song Yu’s personality, she didn’t like to owe people favors.
In the end, she was still a step too late. In reality, not only was she of no help to Lu Yu at all, she had become his burden.
Fortunately, Lu Yu had broken through in the end and displayed his terrifying talent and strength. Only then was he able to turn the tables and kill off the eight powerful experts, thereby resolving the crisis.
On the other hand, Song Yu had yet to repay him the favor of saving her life last time. This time, after eating Lu Yu’s mammoth meat, she had suddenly advanced to a Great Martial Master. She now owed Lu Yu another favor.
Song Yu didn’t know what to say, but Lu Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “All right, let’s talk about it later when we have time. It’s getting late now. We have to rush back to Lunan City overnight. Since the City Lord’s Office and the four dojos spared no expense to send people all the way here to attack me, they will also make their move in the city. I have to return to Lunan City at once.”
“Okay!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Everyone replied in agreement and packed up their things quickly. They immediately set off with Lu Yu to return to Lunan City.
Even though the blood-sucking wasteland was more dangerous at night, all of them had just completed their advancement to higher levels. After their strength increased, they had much more confidence in themselves, so they were naturally not afraid.
Moreover, they had Lu Yu, the Great Grand Master with them. This guy could simply do whatever he wanted in the blood-sucking wasteland, so there was even less to worry about.
Lu Yu was well aware that when the people from the City Lord’s Office and the four dojos launched such an all-out attack on him by sending all eight powerful experts to the blood-sucking wasteland and taking such big risks to ambush him, it was very likely that they would take a series of actions in the city at the same time.
Lu Yu’s wife and two children were still in the city, and their strength was relatively low, so Lu Yu was naturally more worried.
Fortunately, before setting off for the blood-sucking wasteland, Lu Yu had given them some instructions. They probably wouldn’t suffer any direct consequences.
After the group of people completed their advancement, they were able to travel very quickly.
Chu Shiyu, who would have been a burden initially, had completely recovered from her injuries and recovered her strength to its peak. She was now leading the way up front.
Along the way, they encountered some Fearsome Beasts. The two Great Martial Masters, Chu Shiyu and Song Yu, dealt with them straight away. There was no need for a Great Grand Master like Lu Yu to do anything.
Soon, they arrived at Lunan City in the dead of the night.
Song Yu even brought Lu Yu and the others in through the small city gate. It was the city gate guarded by the members of the 4th squadron. This way, they could avoid alerting the people from the City Lord’s Office. They could then hide their whereabouts, and when the time was ripe, they would be able to catch them off guard with a sneak attack.
After returning to the city, Lu Yu and the others first spread out to inquire about Lu Yu’s family.
After some investigation, they quickly obtained some news.
The City Lord’s Office and the others had indeed taken action against Lu Yu’s family. Fortunately, Lu Yu had previously instructed Lu Shan and Lu Shui to look for their mentor Jiang Jun and let him bring them to a safe place.
In addition, Song Yu also informed the Military Lord in advance after observing the situation on her side.
The Military Lord then arrived in time with his men to protect Lu Yu’s wife and two children. After that, he transferred them to the first base city of the Flame Country, Capitoline City.
There were also trusted aides of the Military Lord stationed there, so it was safe and Lu Yu’s family would not be in any danger.
When Lu Yu learned that his family was safe, he felt relieved immediately. He no longer had any worries and prepared to take revenge.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “The eight powerful experts of the four dojos have all been eliminated, and there aren’t many experts left. I don’t think there are any experts in the City Lord’s Office. I’ll look for them and take revenge on them.”
After all, now that Lu Yu had advanced to the Great Grand Master level, he was extremely powerful. He was considered the peak of all existences in this small satellite city of Lunan City. Not surprisingly, he was not afraid of the City Lord’s Office and the four dojos.
At this moment, Song Yu frowned slightly and said, “Lu Yu, you’d better be careful. The four dojos shouldn’t be a threat since you’ve already dealt with the dojo masters and the deputy dojo masters. The remaining experts won’t be a threat to you. However, the City Lord’s Office is different. I heard from my father that there seems to be a power network protecting the City Lord’s Office. Even our Song family are a little apprehensive and do not dare to directly attack the City Lord’s Office.”
After hearing this, Lu Yu was a little surprised.
A mere City Lord of a small Lunan City could cause the Song family to be so apprehensive of them. Just how terrifying was the power backing the City Lord’s Office?
At the side, Chu Shiyu smiled and said, “No matter how powerful they are, they are not in Lunan City and they can’t affect this small satellite city. If you’re strong enough, you’ll be able to attack them and not be fearful of offending anyone. Lu Yu, you have the backing of the Song family and the Military Lord. No matter how powerful they are, they can’t do anything to you.”
