Chapter 35: Grade 8 Great Martial Master!

The East End Dojo Master, Tan Jun, panicked when he saw that Song Lin was about to attack.

Although Lu Yu was a Great Martial Master, as far as he knew, Lu Yu had just achieved breakthrough and was considered a Junior Great Martial Master. 2 Song Lin, on the other hand, was an expert of the older generation. He had been a Great Martial Master since a long time back and was now an Intermediate Great Martial Master. Naturally, his abilities were of a totally different level from Lu Yu’s.

If Song Lin attacked and injured Lu Yu, not only would it lead to a conflict, it would also be difficult to explain things to the City Lord and even the Military Lord.

After all, although Lu Yu didn’t come from an influential background and had only just attained the Great Martial Master rank, he was held in high regard by the City Lord and the Military Lord. He was their favorite in their eyes and his future was infinitely bright.

At this thought, Tan Jun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

“Mr. Song, this Lu Yu is indeed too much to have attacked in public. How about this? Why don’t we punish him by forfeiting his salary for one year? What do you think?” Tan Jun presented the demeanor of a peacemaker.

However, Song Lin shoved Tan Jun aside and growled menacingly, “Don’t say anymore. No matter what, I must cripple one of his arms today to vent my hatred!”

With these words, Song Lin charged towards Lu Yu with his aura fully deployed.

Tan Jun panicked when he saw this. Song Lin was exerting his full strength. This was no longer simply a matter of crippling one of his arms. It was very likely that he would kill Lu Yu on the spot.

“Mr. Song, please show mercy!” Tan Jun shouted frantically.

On the other side, Lu Yu sensed the aura from Song Lin’s body. He, too, realized that Song Lin’s powers should not be underestimated.

This was the first time that Lu Yu had fought a Great Martial Master. He didn’t dare to be careless. He did not hold back and straightaway unleashed his full strength.

Activating the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, his inner strength increased his external skill, giving rise to a 16-fold increase! 5 The Furnace skill activated, igniting health vitality, and strength was doubled!

All of a sudden, Lu Yu released his aura in full, and its superiority completely crushed Song Lin’s aura.

When Tan Jun saw this, he was completely bewildered. Hadn’t Lu Yu just reached the Great Martial Master rank? How come his aura did not appear to be any way near that of a Junior Great Martial Master?

Song Lin, who was charging towards Lu Yu, also sensed Lu Yu’s formidable aura. Frowning slightly, he nevertheless threw a punch with all his might.

Lu Yu didn’t back down. Instead, he unleashed Crushing Punch in a counter-attack.

Stable like a mountain when dormant, it had the ability to topple mountains and overturn oceans when in action. This was the power of the Crushing Punch. 1 It was a simple and uncomplicated move, but it was full of explosive power and the speed of Lu Yu’s punches was extremely fast.

Lu Yu reciprocated with a full-force punch.

However, when the two forces collided, Song Lin was immediately thrown out like a runaway kite that had broken free from its string.

After hitting the wall, he did not stop. He crashed right through the wall, creating a hole in the process. Thereafter, he continued in his momentum and was flung out of the building from the 9th floor, before falling down to the ground.

Upon landing, Song Lin’s face was full of horror. This strength was equivalent to a Grade 8 Great Martial Master!

Not far away, Tan Jun exclaimed in disbelief, “Grade 8 Great Martial Master!”

Tan Jun was completely bowled over. He hadn’t expected Lu Yu to have reached the strength of a Grade 8 Great Martial Master. It was hard to imagine that he had only recently advanced to a Great Martial Master just a while ago.

Song Lin landed heavily on the ground from the 9th floor. The raucous commotion attracted the attention of the workers and passersby to gather around to look.

The strength of a Great Martial Master was already very formidable. His body was as hard as iron. Even when he fell from the 9th floor, at a height of 20 over meters, Song Lin only spat out a mouthful of blood and didn’t seem to be seriously injured.

However, Lu Yu didn’t plan on letting Song Lin off the hook. Initially, he only wanted to teach Song Ding a lesson. Since this Song Lin didn’t know what was good for him and dared to attack him, then Lu Yu would teach him a good lesson.

Lu Yu jumped out of the hole that Song Lin had created and landed heavily on the ground. The ground sank several centimeters, but Lu Yu didn’t seem to notice.

Lu Yu walked to the front of Song Lin. Ignoring the fear on Song Lin’s face, he punched him again and again, causing Song Lin to spit out several more mouthfuls of blood. Even his chest was starting to cave in from the impact of Lu Yu’s punches. In the end, Song Lin became severely wounded by Lu Yu’s punches.

The surrounding workers and passersby were horrified when they saw this.

“Who is this person? Why is he so ruthless?”

“I think he’s the dojo master of the new Central Dojo. He’s simply too strong.”

“Is this the fate of a challenger to his dojo? That’s so terrifying!”

“Why do I feel that this Central Dojo Master is stronger than all the other dojo masters?”

“This is too barbaric. I like this new dojo master. I want to join them!”

“Forget it! Do you think you are qualified to join?”

“…” By now, the East End Dojo Master, Tan Jun, who had also jumped down after Lu Yu, watched Lu Yu giving Song Lin a brutal lesson, but he didn’t step forward to stop him.

In such a short time, Lu Yu had already reached the strength of a Grade 8 Great Martial Master.

With Lu Yu’s current ability, his strength was already well above his own. Compared to the other dojo masters, Lu Yu’s strength was undeniably at the forefront, ahead of everyone.

Most importantly, Lu Yu was still growing at a rapid pace.

On one side was the head of a branch of the Song Family, who was an Intermediate Great Martial Master.

On the other was a genius Great Martial Master who had grown so rapidly to reach the level of an Advanced Great Martial Master in such a short time.

Weighing up the pros and cons, Tan Jun naturally knew who was more important between the two sides.

In fact, seeing that Song Lin had offended Lu Yu, Tan Jun was even prepared to distance himself from Song Lin in future so as not to incur Lu Yu’s displeasure.

Moreover, Tan Jun was well aware that, besides being a genius Great Martial Master and possessing terrifying strength, Lu Yu also had good connections with the City Lord and the Military Lord.

Tan Jun could clearly see that both the City Lord and the Military Lord favored Lu Yu greatly and treated him as their main objective for nurturing.

Otherwise, the City Lord wouldn’t have directly appointed Lu Yu as the dojo master of the new dojo. Furthermore, it was the most important dojo, the Central Dojo, and they even allocated funds to Lu Yu for his renovation needs.

In the beginning, when the 4 dojos were first established, the dojo masters had to come up with the funds for building from their own pockets. The City Lord’s only contribution was in the form of some gifts to express his acknowledgment.

Besides the City Lord, there was the Military Lord, who wielded even more power and influence.

Even the Military Lord made a trip down in person to congratulate and reward Lu Yu. On top of that, he also appointed him to be the new captain of the 4th Squadron.

Lu Yu had never joined the military, yet he was directly appointed to the position of captain of the 4th Squadron. Such an occurrence was utterly unprecedented. 3 With this kind of credentials, who would dare to disrespect Lu Yu?

Therefore, the East End Dojo Master, Tan Jun, discarded all notions of dissuading and playing the peacemaker.

At this point, Lu Yu finally stopped beating Song Lin, after Song Lin had sustained serious injuries.

Lu Yu looked down at Song Lin, who had been beaten practically into the ground, and said sternly, “Apologize now or you won’t be able to leave this place alive today.”

With an expression of utter humiliation, Song Lin gave a glance at Tan Jun, who did not step forward at all. Song Lin immediately understood Tan Jun’s meaning and knew right there and then that it was impossible to rely on Tan Jun for help.

Song Lin looked at Lu Yu with a somewhat resentful expression. At the same time, his eyes were filled with fear. The reason that Song Lin had dared to recklessly attack before was because he didn’t think too highly of Lu Yu’s aura, and his strength wasn’t that impressive when he attacked his son.

Armed with these insights, Song Lin had the confidence to attack. However, he hadn’t expected that once Lu Yu unleashed his aura in full, he would reach the level of a Grade 8 Great Martial Master.

Song Lin was only a Grade 4 Great Martial Master. Despite the difference of merely 4 minor levels, there was a qualitative difference that was as vast as heaven and earth.

In the face of this threat, the head of a branch of the Song Family, Song Lin, could only nod in resignation and muttered, “I apologize. Please don’t hit me anymore. I’ll get someone to withdraw the money.”
