Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 69

69 Earth Dragon

At the clearing in the mine.

The two sides faced each other.

On one side were the eight powerful experts of the four dojos. Although they were only a few of them, they were all elites and formidable.

On the other hand, although there were many people on Lu Yu's side, their combat strength was extremely worrying.

Although Song Yu and the other two who had just arrived were quite strong, they were only Martial Masters. There was still a huge gap between them and the eight powerful experts of the four dojos.

Moreover, in order to alert Lu Yu to the threat first, the three of them had traveled non-stop.

After traveling through the night, the three of them were exhausted and could not exert much combat strength.

As for the team members led by Lu Yu, only Lu Yu was the strong member. Qin Yong and the others were only Martial Masters. In the face of their opponents who were basically experts of the Great Martial Master level, they simply didn't have any ability to resist.

The situation was completely one-sided.

At this time, Song Yu couldn't help looking at Lu Yu helplessly, saying in despair, “I wanted to alert you first, thinking that I could help you, but I was still one step too late. Now, I've become your burden and need your protection.”

“It's fine. You did your best anyway,” Lu Yu waved his hand and said indifferently.

At this moment, Lu Yu was not terribly worried. Although the difference in strength between the two sides was great, there was something that the eight powerful experts of the four dojos didn't know.

And that was, Lu Yu's strength was no longer that of an early-stage Great Martial Master.

Although he had only broken through to the level of a Great Martial Master not long ago, while he was still in Lunan City, he had used the first special cooking method of the Sky Valley Culinary Method to roast the meat of a Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and increased his strength greatly.

Later, in the blood-sucking wasteland, after eating the butter fat of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros and drinking Sky Spring Water, Lu Yu obtained new skills and also increased his strength further.

At this time, Lu Yu's strength had already reached the peak of a Great Martial Master, and he was only one step away from becoming a Grand Master.

If Lu Yu could break through to the Grand Master level, everything would be fine.

It was not an exaggeration to say that everyone below the Grand Master level were mere mortals.

Although any difference in realm meant a considerable difference in strength,

when it came to the Grand Master realm, the difference was especially stark.

Countless people who had reached the peak of the Great Martial Master level found that they could not break through to the Grand Master Realm in their entire lives.

There were very few people who could step into the realm of a Grand Master. It was a chasm that many people could not cross in their entire lives.

However, as long as he became a Grand Master, he would immediately become a top-ranking expert.

At this moment, even though the eight powerful experts from the four dojos were very powerful, they were basically all Great Martial Masters.

If Lu Yu could break through to the Grand Master level, he was confident that he could deal with all eight of them single-handedly!

If that happened, they would still have a chance of surviving.

At this moment, Lu Yu was also thinking about how to break through to the Grand Master level. For ordinary people, breaking through to the Grand Master level might be extremely difficult. Many people would never be able to break through this bottleneck in their entire lives.

However, it wasn't that difficult for Lu Yu in reality. As long as he ate the meat of some powerful Fearsome Beast and rapidly increased his strength, he would be able to successfully step into the Grand Master realm if all went accordingly.

With Lu Yu's Gluttony Talent, his path to develop his abilities was basically as good as no path. This was also the advantage of his Gluttony Talent.

However, right at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled.

Everyone on both sides looked towards the huge cave.

This huge commotion came from inside the huge cave. It seemed that the super powerful Fearsome Beast inside had awakened.

As a series of footsteps echoed out audibly, a massive shadow emerged from the depths of the huge cave.

It looked similar to a rhinoceros, but it had dragon horns and incredibly huge claws. It was the Awelon Earth Dragon!

Everyone was shocked to see it. Nobody expected to see an Earth Dragon, known to be extremely powerful.

“It's the Earth Dragon guarding the mineral vein here. It's said to have reached the S-class level!” Song Yu muttered.

At this moment, the dojo master of the East End Dojo, Tan Jun, smiled and said, “Everyone, don't worry. This Earth Dragon won't hurt us first. It will only attack Lu Yu!”

With that, Tan Jun took out a special device and pressed it.

Immediately, the smart bracelet on Lu Yu's hand spurted some kind of powder on his body. Lu Yu's body immediately took on a special smell.

The Earth Dragon, who was initially glaring at everyone, was quite calm and indifferent at first.

However, after detecting the scent on Lu Yu's body, he immediately flew into a rage. He let out a deafening roar and charged towards Lu Yu.

At this moment, he only had eyes for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu glanced at Qin Yong and said, “I'll go up and stall the Earth Dragon first. You guys try your best to keep them safe while taking care of yourselves!”

With that, Lu Yu stepped forward and lured the Earth Dragon away.

If the Earth Dragon had charged toward him, Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others would definitely get hurt in the process.

The Earth Dragon seemed to have eyes for Lu Yu only. When he saw Lu Yu sprint away, he immediately turned around and went after him.

Facing the almighty Earth Dragon, Lu Yu didn't dare to lower his guard at all. He straightaway unleashed his D-class skill, the Shadowstep.

At the same time, he activated the Furnace skill to transform his strength into health vitality, achieving double health vitality.

With the augmentation of the double health vitality, Lu Yu's speed increased again, and he immediately maxed out his speed.

Lu Yu knew in his heart that he was no match for the Earth Dragon in his present state.

The current situation was also very challenging. First of all, it was difficult for Lu Yu to deal with the Earth Dragon.

Secondly, Qin Yong and Song Yu were also unable to fight against the eight powerful experts of the four dojos.

The only way to break through this predicament was for Lu Yu to break through to the Grand Master level!

However, now he had to face the terrifying Earth Dragon. It was already extremely difficult for Lu Yu to evade this creature. He didn't have the time to retrieve and consume the Fearsome Beast meat from his interspatial ring's storage to increase his strength. He could only stall for time to see if there was a chance later.

Meanwhile, the eight powerful experts of the four dojos were gloating when they saw Lu Yu being chased by the Earth Dragon.

“Dojo Master Tan, your plan is brilliant.”

“I didn't expect Dojo Master Tan to tamper with Lu Yu's smart bracelet. This way, we'll save ourselves a lot of trouble.”

“That's right. Isn't this Lu Yu very strong? Then let's see who's stronger, him or the Earth Dragon.”

“After Lu Yu and the Earth Dragon fight to the death, we can go up and clean up the mess.”

“That's right. We just need to deal with these people here. They're all just Martial Masters. It's so boring.”

“Looks like this trip will go smoothly.”

“…”

At this time, Tan Jun was also beaming widely. Previously, when the City Lord asked him to tamper with Lu Yu's smart bracelet, he had thought of this idea. He had made an additional device that contained the powder of the Earth Dragon's corpse. If the powder was scattered on Lu Yu's body, it would inevitably enrage the Earth Dragon, making it focus all its attention on Lu Yu.

In this way, their operation this time would be even more smooth-flowing. Lu Yu was the only powerful one, and the rest were just some small fries. As for Lu Yu, who was the strongest, they didn't even need to do anything. They could simply make use of someone else to kill him. It was really convenient.

Now, the eight powerful experts of the four dojos began closing in on Song Yu, Qin Yong and the rest, getting ready to take them down.
