Chapter 30: Arrival of the Military Lord

Lu Yu came up to Song Yu and saw that she did indeed have a light gray ring on her hand.

It seemed rather ordinary, maybe even a little crude. However, from what he remembered, this was an interspatial ring. It was made from special materials and crafted by ancient array formations. It was extremely rare.

Lu Yu removed the ring from the unconscious Song Yu’s hand and put it on his own.

All of a sudden, Lu Yu sensed a space that was about a hundred cubic meters in size.

This was only a basic interspatial ring, so the space was still relatively small. It was only a hundred cubic meters in size.

Fortunately, there weren’t many things inside. Only a small portion of the space was needed for Lu Yu to put the corpse of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth away.

Lu Yu walked over to the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s corpse and activated the interspatial ring. He then enclosed it inside.

After putting the corpse away, Lu Yu was finally relieved. This Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was simply too precious to him.

With his SSS-class Gluttony Talent, Lu Yu could completely rely on the corpse of this A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, to increase his strength greatly.

Lu Yu walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down at the remaining Fearsome Beasts. To his surprise, he discovered that at some unknown time, the remaining Fearsome Beasts that had been battling ferociously down there had all departed from the city wall and were gradually disappearing off into the horizon.

Lu Yu suspected that it might have something to do with him killing this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. Perhaps this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was the commander leading this wave of attack by the Fearsome Beasts.

With the fall of their commander, the Fearsome Beasts lost their leader and therefore, gradually retreated.

Lu Yu then walked to the other side of the city wall and looked towards the inner city. It was the same situation.

There were still plenty of Fearsome Beasts remaining, but they too, were retreating.

When he took in all these sights, Lu Yu didn’t try to stop them.

In the earlier battle with the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, Lu Yu had expended quite a fair bit of energy, and he was, quite frankly, exhausted.

Besides, these Crimson Haired Warthogs weren’t very attractive to Lu Yu since they did not offer him much benefit in terms of boosting his abilities.

Then, Lu Yu carried the unconscious Song Yu and clambered down the city wall. Thereafter, he headed towards the inner city.

Not long after, he bumped into a large group of warriors who were on their way to render support.

Upon seeing that Lu Yu had returned safely by himself, and even brought back the deputy captain of the 4th squadron, everyone was caught by surprise, unable to believe their eyes.

At this time, Lu Yu was covered in blood from head to toe, and presented a terribly awful demeanor.

However, all warriors looked at Lu Yu with admiration in their eyes.

For a person to be able to slash his way all alone to the outer city and still return safely, he not only must have incredible strength, he must also have exceptional courage that was the envy of everyone.

Very soon, the City Lord, the Advisor and several dojo masters rushed down to the battle site. They were all stunned by Lu Yu’s appearance.

With his white hair turning black, it meant that Lu Yu had broken through to the next stage during the battle to the death, and his strength had risen tremendously.

Lu Yu’s ability wasn’t weak to begin with, yet he had actually achieved another advancement. It made the other people extremely envious.

As for the others, they finally understood why Lu Yu was able to rise from a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior to a Great Martial Master in a single year. With such courage, he could charge outside fearlessly to confront the wave of Fearsome Beasts attacking the city all by himself. This sort of willpower was not something that ordinary people possess!

Very soon, Song Yu was secretly sent to the military hospital for treatment.

The warriors who were cleaning up the battlefield quickly discovered a large number of Fearsome Beast corpses at the foot of the outer city walls as well as on the top of the city walls.

Judging from the trail of the corpses, it would appear that they were strewn along the direction that Lu Yu was heading at that time.

When this news spread to the city, everyone marveled at the feat that he accomplished.

At this moment, Lu Yu was invited to the City Lord’s Office.

The dojo masters of the 4 dojos were also here.

“Mr. Lu, in the battle with the Fearsome Beasts attacking the city, your act of heroism is incomparable. I take off my hat to you!” East End Dojo Master Tan Jun cupped his fists at Lu Yu in a respectful greeting.

Jiang Zilong, the dojo master of West Universe Dojo, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, you’ve really opened my eyes. You’ve turned the battle of defending the city into one of attacking the Fearsome Beasts. Only you can achieve such a remarkable feat!”

The other two dojo masters also chimed in,

“That’s right. Most of the corpses of the Fearsome Beasts in the outer city were probably your handiwork, Mr. Lu. It’s really impressive.”

“Oh yes, Mr. Lu. Have you given consideration to which dojo you wish to join?”

Before Lu Yu could answer, the dojo master of West Universe Dojo smiled and said,

“Gentlemen, after this battle, you all still want to recruit Mr. Lu into your dojo? In my opinion, none of our 4 dojos here are worthy of Mr. Lu.”

The other dojo masters were dumbstruck when they heard his words. However, after thinking through for a while, they immediately understood his underlying meaning.

With Lu Yu’s formidable strength and his unrivaled contributions in this battle, he would inevitably be showered with rewards and favor by all sides. Naturally, their dojos would no longer have any competitive edge. It was highly unlikely that any of the dojos would be able to retain him.

In an instant, the dojo masters felt an immense sense of regret.

If they had known about the outcome beforehand, they would have added a few more conditions to make their offer more attractive, sparing no expense to entice Lu Yu to join their dojo.

If he had joined a dojo first before joining in the battle, they would be in a better position to retain Lu Yu.

At this moment, City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng and City Lord Yan Hong walked over at the same time.

Qin Cheng first went up and congratulated Lu Yu. “Mr. Lu, you have demonstrated extraordinary talent in this battle. You are now the center of attention. Congratulations!”

City Lord Yan Hong smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, in this battle, your battle achievements are truly illustrious. You have made the greatest contribution in the city’s success in repelling the Fearsome Beasts. If you want any reward, feel free to tell me. As long as it is within my ability to grant you, I will definitely fulfill it. Oh yes! Would you like me to appoint you to run the 5th dojo in the city? You can be the dojo master of the Central Dojo! Your dojo will be ranked above the existing 4 dojos and it will be the largest dojo in the city. The City Lord’s Office will provide assistance and support in all aspects.”

“Central Dojo?”

The jaws of the other 4 dojo masters dropped collectively.

All along, there had been plans to set up a Central Dojo, but there had never been a suitable candidate to take on the role of the dojo master.

The 4 dojos were also focused on improving their abilities, thinking that they could become strong enough to be the Central Dojo. That was why they had been focused on preserving their strength.

Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that after this battle, the City Lord would straightaway hand over control of the Central Dojo to this new Great Martial Master.

Although they were all exceedingly envious, the dojo masters of the 4 great dojos were not jealous. They had all witnessed Lu Yu’s strength with their own eyes, and they acknowledged that they couldn’t hold a candle to him. They willingly accepted that Lu Yu was the ideal candidate to take on the role of the Central Dojo Master.

When Lu Yu heard this, he was somewhat surprised that the City Lord would directly appoint him as the Central Dojo’s dojo master.

The dojo master of the Central Dojo was ranked above the 4 great dojos. In this city, his position was extremely high, second only to the City Lord. His rank was even higher than the City Lord’s Advisor. It was truly unbelievable.

At this moment, an announcement could be heard coming from outside.

“The Military Lord of the Gamma Military Zone has arrived!”

The City Lord, the Advisor, and the 4 dojo masters exchanged looks of astonishment.

“What? The Military Lord is here!”

This city was under the jurisdiction of the Gamma Military Zone, just one of many under its jurisdiction.

Although the Military Lord was in charge of military affairs and the City Lord was in charge of the city administration, both being responsible for two separate aspects,

the Military Lord’s jurisdiction included several cities, so his status was naturally much higher than the City Lord’s.
