99 Mental-type Skills
Wang Kang pretended to be mysterious, indicating that his guests would know the moment the dish was served.
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Lu Yu and asked, “May I ask something that maybe I shouldn’t ask, but… Honorable Mr. Lu, did you come here because you have other business to attend to?”
This was a huge taboo. If an ordinary person pried into the privacy of a Great Grand Master like this, even if he were killed on the spot, the Federation’s laws would not hold the killer accountable.
Lu Yu immediately pulled a long face and said angrily, “Boss Wang, are you questioning me?”
Wang Kang was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said, “No, no! Your humble servant is just curious.”
Lu Yu took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “I’m just here for a meal. Go now. I’ll summon you again if I need anything.”
Wang Kang quickly excused himself. After he bowed and closed the door, his back was already drenched in cold sweat. He was secretly glad that Lu Yu didn’t hold it against him. Otherwise, losing an arm or a leg would be a small matter.
In the elegant private room, Lu Yu absorbed the fragrance of the Kirin Wood and leaned back comfortably on a chair, soothing his mind.
It had to be said that this Kirin Wood did have miraculous effects and made him feel good.
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the fragrance of Kirin Wood. Received: Energy +1100!]
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the fragrance of Kirin Wood. Received: Ice Heart (A-class)]
Lu Yu had obtained another new skill. He quickly checked the details.
[Ice Heart]
[Level: A-class]
[Introduction: A skill obtained from the fragrance of the Kirin Wood. After activation, it can calm the mind, fortify the mental strength, and immunize the user against attacks from mental-type skills. Duration: 1 minute (can be upgraded).]
Lu Yu was very astonished by this skill.
Among the many skills he had obtained, this was one of the more special types. If he used it for a long time, it could fortify his mental strength. Lu Yu immediately activated this skill, and a cool sensation surged through his whole body.
Lu Yu’s mind felt as if it was being nourished by a stream. It was extremely comfortable. Moreover, from the center of his body, he could feel a sense of power similar to electromagnetic waves spreading out.
In the next instant, he could actually sense everything that was happening outside the door!
A minute later, the cool sensation disappeared. Lu Yu exited the state and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Not only could this skill increase one’s mental strength, but it could also turn one’s mental powers into a medium similar to electromagnetic waves. It could sense the outside world and project everything that happened outside into one’s mind.
Wasn’t this similar to the divine sense in cultivating immortals novels?
This was his first time experimenting with this skill, but Lu Yu was already overjoyed by it. He planned to activate it often in the future to strengthen his mental powers.
Soon, a table full of dishes was served. The finale was the special dish that Wang Kang had mentioned. It was a plate of black and unpleasant-looking meat.
At first glance, it looked like something that had been placed outside for a long time and turned rancid. The appearance made Song Yu and Qin Yong’s faces cloud over. Wang Kang actually dared to deceive them with such meat dishes!
Just as they were about to summon Wang Kang over and reprimand him, Lu Yu had already cut off a piece and eaten it.
Qin Yong hurriedly shouted, “Captain Lu, don’t eat it. This meat…”
Lu Yu was still unsatisfied and ed, “It doesn’t look very appetizing, but the taste is not bad at all. It’s chewy and gives off a hot sensation once it is inside the stomach.”
He was certain that even if Wang Kang had a hundred balls of steel, he wouldn’t dare to lie to him. That was why Lu Yu didn’t hesitate to eat a piece of that black, unappetizing meat.
Song Yu and Qin Yong didn’t quite believe it, but when they saw that Lu Yu was fine after eating, they also took up their chopsticks and took a bite. Instantly, their bodies trembled violently.
This black unappetizing meat actually contained extremely pure spiritual energy. After consuming it, it exploded and turned into a ball of energy that circulated through their whole bodies. After it was completely absorbed, both of them achieved a breakthrough!
Qin Yong had broken through to the peak level of the Martial Master realm, while Song Yu had broken through to the Great Martial Master level 3. Both of them had broken through another small realm.
As for Lu Yu, he had also broken through to the Great Grand Master level 3, conquering another small realm. Moreover, his mental strength had suddenly risen to a new level.
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten the sinew meat of an S-class Fearsome Beast, the Black Demon Rhinoceros. Received: Energy +1300! Sky Demon Roar (S-class)]
[Sky Demon Roar]
[Level: S-class]
[Introduction: An inheritance from a mutated Black Demon Rhinoceros. It lets out a roar similar to that of a Sky Demon. It is a mental-type skill that can leave an impact on the opponent’s mind. After a minute, the opponent will lose the ability to move.]
Within a day, he had obtained an A-class skill and an S-class skill. They were both related to mental-type ability. The difference was that one was defensive while the other was offensive.
He wondered what it would be like to use these two skills together.
Lu Yu was in a very good mood. At the same time, he was puzzled as to where Wang Kang had obtained the meat of an S-class Fearsome Beast. It should be remembered that Lu Yu himself had spent a lot of effort to slay an S-class Earth Dragon when he encountered it that time.
This thing could only be killed by a Grand Master or even a Great Grand Master. With Wang Kang’s connections, it was impossible for him to be acquainted with a Great Grand Master, much less summon that expert to slay an S-class Fearsome Beast for him.
As he was mulling over this, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by the sound of tables and chairs being broken.
“How dare you! Is the reputation of Guan Kai so worthless? Go and call your boss out. Otherwise, I’ll tear your restaurant apart!”
A young man with braided hair and the air of a hooligan, together with a gang of friends, was berating a service staff mercilessly.
All the diners tactfully shut up and pretended not to see this scene.
This Guan Kai was a figure with a noteworthy background. Even if one was given a hundred lives, he still could not afford to offend Guan Kai.
As for Guan Kai, he was in a fit of anger and was determined to not give up until he received an acceptable explanation.
Earlier, he had brought a group of friends to the Resplendent East Restaurant for a meal and had asked for the best private room. The service staff had actually informed him that the room was already occupied, and that he was unable to change the private room for him.
This was a tremendous loss of face for Guan Kai, who liked to show off. If he didn’t punish the service staff properly, how could he maintain his dignity in front of his friends?
He was particularly incensed at Wang Kang, who had directly offered the best private room to someone else. He should have known that he had always gotten first dibs on that private room!
“Hmph! This incompetent Wang Kang is so brazen that he doesn’t spare any consideration for Young Master Guan’s dignity. We must punish him thoroughly.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Young Master Guan is giving him so much respect by coming here to dine. How could he be so tactless?”
With a group of scoundrels jeering and urging at his side, Guan Kai became even more smug. He gave a disdainful snort and said, “That’s for sure. When the time comes, we’ll punish this guy by letting him lose three months of business income!”
The service staff who had been serving Lu Yu stumbled into Lu Yu’s private room, his face bruised all over.
As soon as he saw Lu Yu, he bowed and said, “Sir, may we ask that you change to another private room?”
Lu Yu saw everything that happened outside clearly. He remained unmoved and said indifferently, “We’re halfway through our meal. How can we change rooms halfway?”
The service staff was so anxious that he was about to burst into tears. “Sir, take it that I’m begging you. Please change to another room. I can’t afford to offend that customer outside. If you suffer any losses, I’ll compensate you.”
Qin Yong put down his chopsticks and slammed on the table with a loud bang. He stood up and sneered, “Do you think that we’re easier to deal with compared to that hooligan outside?”
The service staff immediately knelt down.
“Sirs, even if you have a good relationship with the boss, that customer is not someone who will let things rest simply on account of your good relationship with our boss. If things go wrong, our boss will suffer too.”
