Chapter 32: Destruction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the City Lord’s Office, Lu Yu first went to look for his family.
When he had just received the news of the Fearsome Beasts attacking the city, the City Lord’s Advisor Qin Cheng had arranged for someone to bring Lu Yu’s family from the outer city to the inner safety bunker to hide from the Fearsome Beasts. This was the care and consideration that the city should provide to a new Great Martial Master.
It was also because of this that Lu Yu was able to venture out and slay Fearsome Beasts with a peace of mind. Otherwise, he would be so worried about them that he would have gone to look for his family to protect them.
After locating his family, they regrouped at his previous home in the outer city.
When Lu Yu arrived, the neighborhood was in ruins, but there was no serious damage to his home.
After all, there was no one at home, so the Crimson Haired Warthogs did not come in to destroy the house.
Seeing that Lu Yu had returned, his wife, Giovanna, and their children, Lu Shan and Lu Shui hurried over.
“Old man, are you all right?” Giovanna asked with a worried expression.
His daughter, Lu Shui, noticed the change in Lu Yu’s appearance and exclaimed, “Dad, your hair has turned black and you’ve become younger!”
Lu Shan and Giovanna also noticed this and scrutinized Lu Yu in astonishment.
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Oh, I gained some enlightenment while slaying the Fearsome Beasts and achieved breakthrough on the spot. It brought about some changes to my body.”
“You went out to slay Fearsome Beasts? That’s so dangerous! What if something happens to you, then what will happen to us?” Giovanna said to him reproachfully.
Lu Yu took out his Great Martial Master golden badge and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m very safe.”
......
“A Great Martial Master’s badge!” Lu Shan exclaimed. He grabbed it from Lu Yu’s hand excitedly and examined it closely.
It was completely made of gold, with exquisite craftsmanship. It was indeed what one would expect of a Great Martial Master badge.
The family never imagined that Lu Yu had reached the level of a Great Martial Master.
At first, they were worried that Lu Yu would lose his status as a Martial Master if he were to be tested again.
In the end, not only did he not lose his status as a Martial Master, he was even elevated to the level of Great Martial Master!
After Lu Yu recounted his adventures, his whole family was very happy. Now that Lu Yu had become a Great Martial Master, his lifespan was increased, and their family’s lives would be so much easier henceforth.
The family gathered together and chatted for a while. As the Fearsome Beasts had just been repelled, some stragglers might come back to attack again. Lu Yu told his family to stay at home to rest and not venture outside, in case they encountered more danger.
As for Lu Yu, he left the house and proceeded to an open space within the inner city.
This piece of land was not small, but it was a little barren. There was only a 10-storey building standing there. It was a dojo whose construction was not completed in the past.
Lu Yu entered the building and conducted a survey.
In general, it was still possible to re-use this building. The only issue was that it was incomplete and was now rather old and worn out. free webnov el.com
Lu Yu contacted some workers and arranged for some renovation work to be done.
The basic groundwork of this building was not too bad. After a good bout of renovation, it could be used temporarily as his Central Dojo.
Soon, the renovation workers arrived and commenced renovation work in accordance with Lu Yu’s wishes.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, sat down inside the tall building and began circulating the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, absorbing the energy from the remaining meat of the A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, in his intestines.
As the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill went into action, wisps of power were absorbed by Lu Yu. His strength, health vitality, and other physical attributes all improved to different degrees.
This was especially so in terms of strength, which increased tremendously.
It wasn’t long before Lu Yu heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
As this affected him practicing and developing his skills, Lu Yu opened his eyes in irritation. He frowned and headed downstairs.
When he arrived at the first floor, he realized that more than a dozen young men had appeared at some point in time and were currently arguing with the renovation workers.
After learning that Lu Yu was the boss, the leading youth came up to him. Seeing that there was no martial arts badge on Lu Yu’s chest, he immediately relaxed and said arrogantly,
“My name is Song Ding. This area is under my jurisdiction. If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and pay the protection fee. Otherwise, I won’t protect you anymore, understand?”
Lu Yu glanced at Song Ding with a disdainful expression and ignored him totally.
When Lu Yu had given his Great Martial Master badge to his son, Lu Shan, to play with, he had forgotten to take it back.
Otherwise, if he had it on him right now, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
The status of a Great Martial Master was enough to scare away almost everyone and no one would come looking for trouble.
However, at this time, Lu Yu didn’t give a hoot about Song Ding. He chose to ignore him and looked at the workers, saying,
“Just ignore them and continue working. The deadline is quite rushed, you guys must not waste any time.”
When the renovation workers heard that, they immediately went back to work.
Lu Yu took one look around. Half of the renovation work on the first floor had been completed, and the main door was already installed. It looked quite imposing.
When Song Ding saw that he was being ignored, his face turned ominous.
Some of his followers quickly surrounded him.
“Brother Song, this middle-aged man is ignoring you!”
“How arrogant! How dare he ignore our Brother Song!”
“That’s right. Why doesn’t he go ask around? Who dares to provoke our Brother Song in this area?”
“Brother Song, these people are ignoring us and not cooperating with us to pay protection fees. Should we teach them a lesson?”
Song Ding’s expression was sinister as he nodded and said, “Of course we will. Come, let’s attack together!”
With a wave of his hand, Song Ding brought the dozen or so people to the newly installed main door.
At this moment, a few workers were still painting the door frame and wiping the door panel.
When the workers saw the hooligans approaching, they began to panic.
One of the workers asked, “Young lads, we are in a hurry to renovate the place. You guys don’t cause trouble for us, okay?”
Song Ding gave a sinister laugh. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, “Thrash this door for me. I want to see whether you guys can renovate faster or I can tear it down faster!”
“Okay!”
When the followers heard this, they all laughed and picked up various weapons before rushing forward.
Among these followers, half of them were Martial Arts Warriors and their abilities were not bad.
With so many people and weapons, it didn’t take long.
With a loud “Boom!”,
the main door toppled to the ground. (f)reewebnovel
When the workers saw this, they immediately turned anxious. This door was their fruit of labor that had taken them around half a day’s work, yet it was destroyed within minutes.
A few of the workers started talking angrily.
“How could you guys do that? It took us more than two hours to complete this.”
“You guys are too much. Who allowed you to do this?”
“Whose children are these? So unruly!”
Song Ding came to one of the workers and gave him a vicious kick.
Although Song Ding was only a Grade 3 Martial Arts Warrior, the worker was a mere ordinary person. There was no way he could be Song Ding’s match.
With that kick, the worker flew more than 10 meters away and slammed into the wall before coming to a stop.
Loud wails could be heard. It seemed that he had broken several bones.
On the other side, Lu Yu, who was discussing with the other workers about some renovation details, heard the commotion and hurried over.
Seeing the damaged door and the wounded worker, Lu Yu’s face turned slightly ominous.
They were in a hurry to finish renovating the dojo as soon as possible so that he could open for business, but now someone was causing trouble here.
Lu Yu had originally thought that Song Ding and the others weren’t very strong. If he, a Great Martial Master, were to teach these few Martial Arts Warriors and ordinary people a lesson, people might think he was bullying them and find his behavior inexcusable. However, he didn’t expect that these people wouldn’t give up.
