Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 131 – 131 Someone Breaking Through to Great Grand Master level!

131 Someone Breaking Through to Great Grand Master level!

War veterans didn't die, they simply withered away!

War veterans, especially veterans who had fought a hundred battles, risked their neck and shed their blood to protect humankind, and should be remembered no matter what. Their spirits should be passed down to others, and they should not be left unattended all alone until they become old, and had to face death all alone.

It was true that powerful experts were admired, but heroes were venerated.

Compared to those who sacrificed their bottom-level cultivators for their own selfish gains and to protect themselves in order to cultivate themselves to a better realm, but did not make any contributions at all, people like Zhang Hong were the backbone and pillar of the entire humankind.

The flesh would be destroyed, but the spirit would last. The essence of heroes would be passed down from generation to generation. Only then would humankind have a future.

Zhang Hong looked at Lu Yu in a daze. Seeing Lu Yu's stern expression, tears instantly streamed down his face. “Lu… Lu Yu, I… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been jealous of you.”

“It's fine. Rest for a while. I'll treat your illness.”

Lu Yu calmed Zhang Hong down and slowly injected a stream of health vitality into the latter's body, keeping him alive so that he would not pass away the moment he closed his eyes.

When one had cultivated to the level of a Great Grand Master, whether it was his health vitality or mental strength, they would surpass those of a Grand Master by a lot. The health vitality in his body was even more potent than divine pills and miracle medicines, and could quickly stabilize the vital signs of an injured person.

Of course, here, there was also the contribution from the Emerald Emperor's Method.

The energy of the Emerald Emperor's Method surged into Zhang Hong's body. While repairing his old body, Lu Yu frowned.

Zhang Hong's body was already riddled with injuries, and most of his meridians were damaged. In the depths of his bone marrow, there was a wisp of black energy that corroded his health vitality, like gangrene attached to his bones, fracturing his body that resembled some broken down machine components.

Otherwise, according to normal projections, Zhang Hong should still have more than ten years to live.

If Lu Yu wanted to cure Zhang Hong, he had to strip away that wisp of black energy. Otherwise, he would not be able to eliminate the root of the problem.

He activated his Furnace skill, and his strength transformed into health vitality. As Emerald Emperor's Method circulated at full force, Lu Yu's health vitality increased rapidly, and flowed continuously into Zhang Hong's body.

In an instant, like a withered tree returning to life, Zhang Honghuan radiated with vigorous life force, and many wrinkles on his face disappeared. The entire room was filled with health vitality, making Zhang Wu very shocked.

He had never heard of or seen such rich, dense health vitality. It was like something that only an old monster that had lived for hundreds of years could possess.

Zhang Wu, who was initially worried that Lu Yu wouldn't be able to save his grandfather, immediately felt much more at ease.

As the health vitality surged in, Zhang Hong's damaged meridians were gradually repaired. Just as Lu Yu was about to extract the wisp of black energy, that black energy seemed to sense danger and shot into the inner depths of Zhang Hong's body.

Seeing that it was about to invade Zhang Hong's heart, Lu Yu had no choice but to stop.

At this moment, Lu Yu felt a light shudder throughout his body. A ferocious roar rang out in both his ears, and a murderous aura rolled over.

Vaguely, he saw a body that was as black as ink, sprouting a horn on its head that was as sharp as a blade. The skin on its body squirmed and a series of fissures cracked open, which then suddenly expanded and shot out beams of purple light.

Those were eyes. The whole body was densely packed with eyes, and it was a hair-raising sight.

It was the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon!

When Lu Yu recognized this Fearsome Beast, he got a big shock. This was the infamous S-class Fearsome Beast, the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. Every eye on its body possessed a terrifying ability that could cause people to hallucinate.

Even more troublesome was the fact that the blood of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon was black in color and contained lethal poison. If one was tainted by a trace of it, at worst they would die on the spot, and at best, they would become severely ill for a long time before dying miserably.

In the Holy War back then, in order to surround and kill this S-class Fearsome Beast, more than ten peak-level Grand Master powerful experts had sacrificed their lives!

Could it be that Zhang Hong had encountered the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon back then and was lucky enough to escape with his life, but in the process was tainted with its blood?

With his Gluttony Talent, it was very easy for Lu Yu to devour this wisp of black energy, but he would end up hurting Zhang Hong, so he had to be careful.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Lu Yu continued to use his health vitality to repair Zhang Hong's body while silently observing the wisp of black energy. After a long while, when that wisp of black energy sensed that Lu Yu didn't continue to go after it, it shook slightly before continuing to lie dormant.

This damn thing was unbelievably cautious!

Lu Yu could only bide his time. For an entire day and night, Lu Yu stood rooted to the same spot.

Zhang Hong's face became increasingly rosy, but there was no sign of him waking up. Zhang Wu became impatient and said, “Grandpa Lu, my grandpa…”

Lu Yu made a shushing gesture. In the next moment, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. Like a hibernating wild beast, he pounced on his prey the moment it appeared.

A ferocious roar reverberated throughout the narrow room.

A wisp of black energy was quickly extracted and compressed into a drop of black blood in Lu Yu's palm.

In the blood, a two-legged black dragon whose body was densely covered with eyes could be seen vaguely. It roared at Lu Yu and burrowed into his body.

Lu Yu gave a scornful sneer. Just when he was fretting over how to subdue that creature, it walked straight into Lu Yu's trap.

He activated his Gluttony Talent and instantly devoured this drop of black blood!

After obtaining another new skill, Lu Yu hurriedly checked the details. As for Zhang Hong, who was lying on the bed, his vital signs had gradually stabilized, but he still showed no signs of waking up.

Zhang Wu immediately went forward to check. Lu Yu's voice rang out next to his ear, “What your grandfather needs now is rest. He will wake up in two days at the latest.”

Zhang Wu cried tears of joy and knelt on the ground. “Grandpa Lu, thank you for saving my grandfather. There's no way I can repay such great kindness. If you ever need me in the future, I won't hesitate to give everything I have.”

“Alright, alright. A dignified man should not simply kneel for no rhyme or reason.” Lu Yu said with a smile. “If you really have the heart, you can provide your grandfather with a good retirement life…”

As he was speaking, Lu Yu suddenly sensed an extremely overbearing aura approaching urgently from afar.

All the cultivators in the small neighborhood and even in the whole Lunan City raised their heads in unison and looked at the source of this aura. It came from the direction of the City Lord's Office!

In the next moment, wave after wave of even more violent and terrifying auras gushed over like raging tidal waves. The entire Lunan City was tossed around like a feather in a whirlwind, ready to be destroyed at any moment.

“Heavens! I've never heard or seen such an aura before… I can feel my soul trembling.”

Some Great Martial Masters collapsed to the ground under this aura, their expressions unusually terrified. Then, when they recovered themselves, they stammered, “This… This is someone breaking through to the Great Grand Master level. That's right! This aura can only come from those legendary Great Grand Masters.”
