Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 50: A Family That Was The Envy of Everyone

As Lu Yu walked over with Lu Shan and Lu Shui,

he noticed Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu standing beside the testing stone.

Both Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu kept their heads lowered and their bodies low. They greeted respectfully, “Welcome, Honorable Mr. Lu!”

As for the conflict he encountered at the testing center earlier, Lu Yu did not take it to heart at all.

He nodded slightly, then asked softly, “How is Zhang Wu’s strength now?”

Zhang Hong still kept his head lowered and replied respectfully, “He has just advanced to the level of Grade 2 Martial Arts Warrior.”

“Ah, not bad,” Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, “He can get into a fairly decent martial arts university. He must train hard henceforth. He will have a good future.”

Zhang Wu was so happy to have received a Great Martial Master’s compliment and it boosted his self-confidence.

At this moment, Lu Yu also looked at Lu Shan and Lu Shui, then said, “Go ahead and test yourself. Let’s see what level you two are at.”

Lu Shan and Lu Shui were both very excited and eager to begin testing. They exchanged glances with each other. In the end, Lu Shan went first.

As for the testing procedures, Lu Shan had done the testing many times before and was very familiar.

After taking a deep breath, he paused for a moment, then launched an explosive full-strength punch on the testing stone.

The monitoring device beside him jumped rapidly and finally displayed: 485 kilograms!

......

That was the level of a grade 3 Martial Arts Warrior. He was not far from reaching the Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior level.

When Lu Yu saw the result, he nodded his head. The results matched what he had sensed earlier.

To reach the level of Grade 3 Martial Arts Warrior at this age was a remarkable achievement. If he could just level up some more and reach Grade 4 before the martial arts exam, he would be able to enter one of the top 10 martial arts universities. He would be considered a true young talent by that time!

“Not bad. You have to make good use of your time now to elevate yourself to the level of Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior. Once you enter one of the top 10 martial arts universities, your future will be a lot more comfortable.” Lu Yu commended him.

Though Lu Shan was extremely happy with himself, he still composed himself and said with a determined look, “Don’t worry, Dad! During this final period, I will definitely work hard and elevate myself to become a Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior. I will definitely get into one of the top 10 martial arts universities!”

Lu Yu nodded once more. Since Lu Shan’s punch had already reached 485 kilograms,

once it surpassed 500 kilograms, he would be considered a Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior. The difference was not that big, but there was a small bottleneck at this level, so he would need to break through this.

Beside them, when Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu overheard their conversation, they were caught off guard. They took a peek at the monitoring device and saw the 485 figure, they were shocked.

There they were, celebrating the fact that his grandson could make it into a decent martial arts university. Yet Lu Shan’s level was good enough to get into one of the top 10 martial arts universities, and because his shortfall was not a lot, it meant that he was definitely able to get in!

So this was the offspring of a powerful Great Martial Master? There was such a vast difference in levels even at such a young age.

At this moment, Zhang Hong sneaked a glance at Lu Yu. His head was covered with dense black hair, and all his wrinkles had disappeared. He did not look like a 90-year-old man at all. In fact, he looked at a strong young man in his 30s.

He then looked at himself. A face full of wrinkles, a head full of white hair. He was frail and old. The difference between him and Lu Yu was very obvious.

Zhang Hong was filled with regret in that instant. If he had been on better terms with Lu Yu, with the Great Martial Master Lu Yu’s casual help, his life and his whole family’s destiny could be improved tremendously.

However, right now it was too late. He would be very lucky if Lu Yu did not pursue the earlier incident and cause him trouble.

Now that Lu Shan had completed his test, it was Lu Shui’s turn. She walked up and began.

In similar fashion, she concentrated her energy in her dantian and took a deep breath before launching a full-strength punch outwards.

534 kilograms! Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior!

Lu Shan, who had been gloating over his own achievement, had a big shock when he saw this figure. He stood motionless, stunned beyond words.

The difference between 534 kilograms and 485 kilograms was not much, after all it was only a dozen or so kilograms.

However, the crux was the existence of a small bottleneck. Though the gap was small, it required several months of strenuous hard work!

Lu Shan was somewhat displeased at what he saw. “Lu Shui, how did you do it? We are both the same level. How come your strength is so much more than mine?”

Lu Shui was equally surprised at her own strength. She did not expect that after taking the Perfection-grade Awakening Pill, not only did she successfully awaken to become a Martial Arts Warrior, she had actually attained the level of a Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior in one shot.

The strength of a Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior was sufficient for her to enter one of the top 10 martial arts universities. She would have an incredibly bright and brilliant future ahead of her!

After hearing Lu Shan grumbling, Lu Shan made a cheeky face at him and gloated, “You are lousy. What else can I say?”

“Say that again? Who are you calling lousy?” Lu Shan charged towards her furiously.

Lu Shui did not back off and raised her fists, taunting him. “So what if I said that? Don’t act as if you can defeat me now!”

Lu Shan paused, and his face displayed his emotional conflict. It was true what she said. He had no chance of winning Lu Shui at this moment.

Lu Yu stood by the side beaming widely. He knew his kids got along well with each other, but they did squabble every two or three days. Lu Yu was already used to their antics.

“All right, all right. Stop arguing. Let’s go back for breakfast. After that, the two of you go to school and continue to train hard. Lu Shui, you too. You may be at the level of Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior and can go to one of the top 10 martial arts universities, but this is just the beginning of the path of the martial arts practitioner. The road ahead is still very long. You must not slack off.”

“Yes, Dad!”

Both Lu Shan and Lu Shui answered in unison, and then all three left together.

Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu, who were left standing behind, still have not recovered from their shock.

One was a Grade 3 Martial Arts Warrior. He was not far from reaching the level of Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior.

The other was already a Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior. She would definitely be able to enter one of the top 10 martial arts universities for sure!

On top of that, their father was a Great Martial Master. With a family like that, how powerful were their combined strengths!

Zhang Wu watched the three of them walk away with a face full of envy. “So this is the family of a Great Martial Master? All of them are so powerful!”

Zhang Hong had the same sentiments when he heard his grandson.

Great Martial Master Lu Yu was still in the prime of his life at the age of 90. He had an infinitely bright future.

With 2 kids at the levels of Grade 3 and Grade 4 Martial Arts Warrior respectively, if all went well, they would be able to enter one of the top 10 martial arts universities without a hitch. The kids would similarly have an infinitely bright future!

Such a plan was indeed the envy of everyone.

At that point, more and more residents arrived, intending to use the testing stone to test themselves.

When they met Lu Yu, they all bowed and greeted him, showing the great respect they had for him.

A powerful expert at the level of a Great Martial Master was a goal that they all aspired to.

“Good day, Honorable Mr. Lu!”

“Good day, Master Lu!”

“Good morning, Honorable Mr. Lu!”

“…”

Lu Yu smiled at everyone and answered them simply. Then he brought Lu Shan and Lu Shui home.

Along the way, Lu Yu felt somewhat tired. After reaching the level of a Great Martial Master, living in this small district had become somewhat tedious.

After all, these residents were all ordinary people or low-level Martial Arts Warriors. He didn’t mind it so much, but the residents couldn’t quite get used to it. They kept acting in such a deferential manner to him, making him very uncomfortable.

It would seem that he would have to move house eventually when he could find the time.

Now that Lu Yu had achieved the Great Martial Master level, his allowance was very substantial. In addition, he also received funds from the City Lord and the Military Lord, so he had quite a fortune on his hands.

It wasn’t just properties in the outer city. He could probably afford to splurge on a place in the inner city.

As the three of them stepped inside their home, Giovanna had just woken up.

Lu Shan and Lu Shui ran up to her excitedly.

“Mom! Guess what happened to our strength levels?” The two children urged her enthusiastically.
