Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

151 The Whole Military Force Shaken

“What makes a hairless kid like you think that…”

Just as he was gloating over the chance to thoroughly flaunt his authority, Ying Qufeng’s voice came to an abrupt stop. He realized with a shock that his aura at the Great Martial Master level had been utterly suppressed by the youngster standing before him.

Pow! That palm strike left a very clear imprint of five fingers on Ying Qufeng’s face. The left side of his face immediately swelled up, resembling a pig’s head.

“Ah! Go to hell!”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Ying Qufeng howled in rage. With a ruthless look in his eyes, he lunged at Lu Yu in a reckless attack. The military zone’s cultivators nearby all rushed up to stop him, fearful that Lu Yu would get hurt. In the next second, Ying Qufeng’s whole body jolted, and a look of utter disbelief crept across his face.

Ying Qufeng, who had rushed forward with aggressive momentum, was felled by another slap from Lu Yu. He collapsed onto the ground, unable to move an inch.

“Goodness! Isn’t this new recruit a little too aggressive? He is practically pressing this guy down against the ground to beat him.”

“This little guy must be some gifted talent from some powerful family, right?”

The military zone’s cultivators saw how young Lu Yu was, yet he could still subdue a Great Martial Master. Therefore they all speculated that he must be some gifted genius who had been sent to the military zone by some powerful family.

“Remember this. This is the military zone, not the capital. Even if you are the Inspector, you must still obey the rules here!”

“The warriors in the military zone risked their lives and shed their blood, staking their lives to protect their own country. What right do you guys, who only have eyes for self-interests and profits, have to insult them?”

Lu Yu bellowed at him. His voice wasn’t loud, but it struck like a clap of thunder and reverberated in the ears of every military zone’s cultivator. It jolted their bodies, stirring up their emotions instantly.

A squadron captain roared in anger, “That’s right! Without our protection, how can you guys carry on with your arrogant and pretentious lives?”

“Dammit! Fuck you!”

With someone in the lead, the military zone’s cultivators in the main hall rushed up like a pack of hungry wolves.

Immediately, wretched cries of anguish rang out! Ying Qufeng was roundly beaten up until he huddled on the ground. As the fist blows rained down on him from all directions, he shivered violently. Before long, he was covered in blood, and his aura gradually weakened.

“Enough, enough! This is the Gamma Military Zone. This kind of behavior is too unbecoming!” The person-in-charge was worried that Ying Qufeng would get beaten to death here, and quickly yelled for them to stop.

The group of military zone’s cultivators venting their anger then stopped rather unwillingly. Zhou Zhongzheng hurriedly went forward to help Ying Qufeng up. The latter still glared at everyone present with a malicious expression and threatened, “Fine! You guys have guts! Just you wait!”

At this point, Song Yu gave a scornful laugh and said, “What? You still want to take revenge? I, Song Yu, will be here to accompany you to the end.”

Ying Qufeng instantly wilted, and slipped away like a dog with its tail between its legs. This was the daughter of the reputable Song family. Whether in terms of family background or social status, she was someone he could not afford to offend.

As they watched Ying Qufeng leave like a dog with its tail between its legs, military zone’s cultivators in the main hall roared with laughter. A veteran soldier went up to Lu Yu and patted his shoulder, “Not bad, kid. To think you have the guts to beat up an Inspector. But I like your style. Hahaha…”

In the Age of the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, strength was above all, and more so in the military zone. Lu Yu’s earlier performance had gained the approval of all these veteran soldiers.

At this moment, the person-in-charge bellowed, “Now that you are done beating up people, it’s time for things to return to normal.”

These veteran soldiers then queued up obediently and retrieved the various Fearsome Beast corpses from their interspatial rings, to record down their battle trophies.

When it was Lu Yu’s turn, he explained the purpose of his visit. The person-in-charge sized him up, then spoke to him with narrowed eyes, “Kid, even if you are on good terms with Miss Song, you must still abide by the rules.”

Lu Yu then took out his badge and said, “Is that good enough?”

Instantly, the person-in-charge widened his eyes. After peering closely to ascertain the authenticity of the badge, he suddenly stood at attention and saluted. “Good day, Advisor. I didn’t know Advisor was coming. Please forgive my impudence.”

That badge was the Advisor’s badge, given to Lu Yu by Xu Qingguo when they were having lunch together.

Although it was an administrative role and did not carry much commanding authority, the rank of the Advisor was on par with the General.

Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, “No problem, no problem. Do you have any S-class Fearsome Beast corpses in this warehouse? Best if you have those that died not long ago when their meat is still fresh.”

The person-in-charge replied with scrupulous attention, “We definitely do.”

As the veteran soldiers in the main hall watched Lu Yu being led into the warehouse by the person-in-charge, they felt as if they were dreaming.

“Is that for real? We have such a young Advisor?”

“I just patted the Advisor’s shoulder. I… I…”

The veteran soldier looked at his own hand and said, his body trembling with excitement, “Earlier the Advisor was standing up for us. That’s why he beat up the Inspector.”

The brawny guy stood rooted to the same spot, dumbstruck. He was deeply regretful now. The guy he had looked down on earlier turned out to be the military zone’s Advisor. No wonder Miss Song was so respectful toward him.

In the warehouse, after going through one round, Lu Yu chose a Black Striped Demonic Bull and left with complete satisfaction. The person-in-charge was left scratching his head, wondering why the heck Lu Yu wanted a Fearsome Beast corpse.

At this moment, Ying Qufeng and Zhou Zhongzheng received notification that Xu Qingguo had finished his lunch. Ying Qufeng could not contain his rage anymore. Gritting his teeth until they almost cracked, he said, “Let’s go! Let’s look for Xu Qingguo. I want him to give me an explanation on the spot!”

First, he was hung out to dry, then he got beaten up twice. In his view, these filthy bastards would never have dared to do all these if they had not gotten Xu Qingguo’s tacit approval.

“Troops fall in!”

At this moment, the whistle blew and resonated throughout the whole Gamma Military Zone.

Moments later, all the soldiers and officers in the military zone gathered at the parade ground in neat, orderly rows. Everyone’s eyes were full of respect as they raised their heads to gaze at the stage. Standing up there was Xu Qingguo in full military attire, his chest fully decorated with medals and 3 military zone’s Generals!

Everyone was very apprehensive when they saw the Military Lord and the Gamma Military Zone’s 3 Generals were present. They began speculating that something big must have happened.

Ying Qufeng tilted his head and stared at Xu Qingguo icily, wondering what he was up to.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce a new appointment.”

Xu Qingguo stood with his hands behind his back, his face stern and imposing. Gazing at the soldiers and officers standing below, he spoke slowly, “After the military zone’s 3 Generals and I reviewed it, we have unanimously agreed that due to Lu Yu’s outstanding meritorious deeds, he is hereby promoted from Captain of the 4th Squadron to Captain of the 4th Battalion.”

“In addition, he is also appointed as the Gamma Military Zone’s Advisor. Next, we invite Lu Yu to come up on stage!”

Xu Qingguo smiled and nodded his head, signaling to Lu Yu. Below the stage, Lu Yu walked up the stage as Qin Yong and the other members of the 4th squadron watched, visibly moved.

Everyone throughout the ranks, whether soldiers or officers, was flabbergasted when they saw how young-looking the new Captain of the 4th Battalion, and concurrent Advisor of the military zone, was.

In particular, when Ying Qufeng saw this scene unfold before him, his whole body shuddered violently. Shock, then utter disbelief swept over his face until the expressions all converged finally into a sinister, malevolent look.

So this guy was Lu Yu! Not only was he not dead, but he was alive and well, and had been appointed the Advisor to the military zone.

By his side, Zhou Zhongzheng also stood rooted in dumbfounded silence. He stared at Lu Yu upstage blankly for a long while, not knowing what to say.
