Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 21


Chapter 21: The Once Glorious, Damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber

At the entrance to the storage room of the City Lord' Office,

Lu Yu and Qin Cheng came to a stop.

“Mr. Lu, you can go in and choose. You can choose any armor or weapon that is D-class or below. In addition, you can also choose one skill technique. This skill is something that is provided free to every Great Martial Master. Please don't take anything above your own level as that will exceed my authority,” Qin Cheng explained politely.
2
“Okay.” Lu Yu nodded and entered the storage room.

As soon as he entered, he saw a dazzling array of various defensive tools, weapons, skill techniques, as well as many rare materials.

Lu Yu couldn't be bothered to look at the other items. They were rare and precious and he wasn't qualified to take them, so there was no point in looking at them and making himself envious.

First, Lu Yu headed for the D-class weapons area.

At the moment, Lu Yu didn't own any weapons, so his battle methods were very limited. He could only rely on the Crushing Punch to attack.

For normal sparring sessions, with just his bare hands, Lu Yu was still able to utilize his strength adequately.

However, if he were to encounter a real life and death battle, he would definitely be so much more powerful with a suitable weapon.

There were many types of weapons: Fist Weapons, Daggers, Short Swords, Long Swords, Sabers, Whips, Halberds, Bows And Arrows, etc.
7
However, even though it was the storage room of the City Lord's Office, there were not many D-class weapons. Within each category, there were not many choices available due to the limited quantity.

Lu Yu was more interested in halberds and sabers. He felt that they were more aggressive and practical.

As for swords, even though they looked very cool, Lu Yu didn't know any sword techniques at present, so they weren't very practical for him.
3
There was only one halberd. Lu Yu took one look at it. It was quite good overall, but it was quite ordinary. He then went to look at the sabers.

There seemed to be quite a few people using sabers, so there were a total of three.

Two of them were fairly ordinary, but the last one caught Lu Yu's attention.

[Damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber]
2
Level: D-class

Introduction: The former S-class weapon, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, was severely damaged during the Holy War and was downgraded to D-class. The edge of the saber has become blunt. Ordinary people using it can only unleash the strength of an E-class equipment. Only Great Martial Masters can unleash the power of D-class and above. The greater the user's strength, the greater the power that can be unleashed. (Note: It is rumored that once its power reaches a certain level, it can be activated again. From there, it can continuously absorb the blood of various kinds of Fearsome Beasts to become stronger. It can recover its power back to S-class or even exceed S-class!)
8
Compared to the other D-class weapons, the damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber was more ordinary or even inferior to the other D-class weapons.

However, when Lu Yu read through its introduction, he immediately felt that it was extremely appropriate for himself.

What the Blood Emperor Battle Saber needed the most was the user's strength, and Lu Yu possessed many augmentation skills, so his forte was strength.

If he used the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, the weapon would be able to unleash Lu Yu's full power to the utmost, maximizing his advantage.

Apart from that, although the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was damaged now, it used to be an S-class weapon renowned throughout the Federation!

In Lu Yu's memories, he had some recollection of this Blood Emperor Battle Saber's history.

He remembered that during the Holy War, a mighty figure had used the Blood Emperor Battle Saber to single-handedly kill dozens of powerful Fearsome Beasts of the same level as he was and he became famous with this one battle!
4
However, during that battle, that mighty figure had also suffered serious injuries. Even the Blood Emperor Battle Saber had been damaged.

Lu Yu drew out the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and could immediately feel the murderous intent it contained.

Although it had been cleaned and maintained countless times, it had killed so many Fearsome Beasts and was stained with so much blood that the murderous aura on it could not be eradicated.

Lu Yu tested it using his power to control the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. Immediately, he felt that the broken Blood Emperor Battle Saber was like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing his power.

With Lu Yu's current strength, there was no way he would be able to control it!

Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, activated!

Furnace skill, activated!

Under full power, Critical Hit Enhancement was triggered!
1
With multiple augmentations, Lu Yu's strength received a terrifying increase.

Under this terrifying strength, Lu Yu finally felt that he could barely satisfy this broken Blood Emperor Battle Saber. He could finally control it.

“It certainly lived up to its reputation as the famous S-class weapon, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. Even now, when it's so badly damaged, it is still so terrifying!” Lu Yu muttered to himself, somewhat surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu decided that this damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber would be his weapon of choice.

With Lu Yu's strength, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber could unleash the full power of a D-class weapon or an even higher-grade weapon.

And this was only for now.

As Lu Yu grew stronger, his strength would also increase.

The limit of Lu Yu's future potential was unfathomable, given his Gluttony Talent and Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill.

Lu Yu believed that in the future, he would definitely have a chance to unleash the full power of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. He would be able to successfully activate the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, and perhaps restore it to its peak!

“You'll follow me from now on,” Lu Yu said as he put the broken Blood Emperor Battle Saber back into its scabbard and carried it in his arms.

However, Lu Yu didn't notice a flash of light that glinted briefly on the blade of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
2
After selecting his weapon, Lu Yu then proceeded to the D-class armor area.

He did not feel so conflicted when it came to the selection of armor. He just needed to make a quick selection. When there was a chance in the future, he would choose a higher grade armor.

Armor types were mainly cloth armor, light armor, leather armor, heavy armor, plate armor.

The various kinds of armor had their own unique characteristics.

The category of cloth armor was suitable for long-range spiritual skills practitioners.

At present, Lu Yu's main skill was strength, so close combat was his main battle method. Naturally, he only considered heavy armor and plate armor.
2
Heavy armor was similar to plate armor. Both types possessed extremely strong defensive power, but were also extremely heavy at the same time.
4
The heavy armor was made from metal materials and the scales of Fearsome Beasts.

The plate armor was made of alloy materials and the armor carapace of Fearsome Beasts.

Undoubtedly, plate armor had the strongest defense, but it was also the heaviest.
2
Although many skills practitioners favored the defensive capabilities of the plate armor, it was way too heavy and could not be put to use at all.
6
Even if they were forced to use it, it would affect their movements and battle capability. The gains would not make up for the losses, so they could only choose heavy armor or light armor instead.
3
Lu Yu found a set of heavy armor and a set of plate armor to try on.

The D-class heavy armor did not affect Lu Yu's movements too much after he put it on, but in actual battle, he would need to use his augmentation skills to increase his strength, otherwise his fighting ability would be affected.
1
For the D-class plate armor, it was already difficult for Lu Yu to walk in it, let alone fight.

However, since he had to use augmentation skills in both types of armor, it didn't matter anymore. Lu Yu decided on the plate armor, which had the strongest defensive ability and was also the heaviest type of armor.
3
In any case, Lu Yu was very confident in himself. His strength would rapidly grow. It didn't matter if it was a bit difficult to use it now. After that, he could rely on his SSS-class Gluttony Talent and the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill to quickly elevate his strength. When that time came, his strength would be completely sufficient.

Furthermore, Lu Yu was well aware that these were only D-class equipment. They were mostly made from various man-made materials.
1
After reaching C-class or even B-class and above, the equipment would mainly be made from materials obtained from Fearsome Beasts.

At that time, while the equipment's defense was extremely strong, it could also be lighter and not affect one's movement at all. It could even increase one's speed to a certain extent. It was truly magical.
