Chapter 108
108 Breaking Through to Grand Master
At the West Universe Dojo.
Jiang Yunhu, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received an answer. He asked impatiently, “What’s the news from the City Lord’s Office?”
The trusted aide replied, “The City Lord has no intention of taking action.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yunhu’s eyes widened, and his face turned ashen. He cursed Yan Hong bitterly for being muddle-headed. As the City Lord, why didn’t he have any foresight into the overall situation? He even suspected that this City Lord had relied on his connections to rise to power.
“Hmph! How muddle-headed you are, Yan Hong. You will know the consequences of your indulgence when the time comes.”
Jiang Yunhu stomped his feet angrily and paced back and forth in the hall, unable to calm down.
In the City Lord’s Office, Yan Hong saw everything that happened. Naturally, he wasn’t indulging Lu Yu and allowing him to do whatever he wanted. Instead, he was probing Lu Yu’s true strength.
Guan Shan, and the few Great Martial Masters sent by the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo were just pawns to be sacrificed.
A sinister look flashed across Yan Hong’s eyes as he sneered, “Lu Yu, it won’t be easy for you to obtain the East End Dojo. Let me see if you have the ability to take it down.”
In the East City District,
the four Great Martial Masters who came to support Guan Shan, represented the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo. They entered the battlefield with their eyes fixed on Lu Yu.
The techniques of these two big dojos were different from the defense type of the Distant North Dojo and the health vitality-type of the East End Dojo, which were more passive. The West Universe Dojo was famous for their attacks, while the Southern Star Dojo was famous for their speed.
In other words, among the four big dojos, these two dojos were the ones possessing the greatest offensive ability. This was also the reason these two big dojos were ranked first and second among the four.
These four Great Martial Masters surrounded Lu Yu from four directions, standing in a formation without facing him directly. They could attack when charging forward, and defend when in retreat.
The two Great Martial Masters of the West Universe Dojo attacked Lu Yu from the front, exploding with full destructive force. They were like two ferocious tigers pushing forward relentlessly.
Lu Yu raised his saber and blocked the incoming attack. Then, with a twist of his blade, the saber energy was like white frost as it slashed onto one of them. This person quickly retreated, but not in time to escape the saber energy brushing past him. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
“Did this guy really just break through to the Grand Master realm?”
This guy was shocked and afraid. The combat force displayed by that earlier saber strike unleashed by Lu Yu felt like that of a veteran Grand Master powerful expert.
“Storm Sword Technique!”
On the other side, the two Great Martial Masters of the Southern Star Dojo turned into two afterimages on either side of Lu Yu. They whipped up a blast of ferocious wind and came charging at their quarry.
The speed was astonishing. Although their power was not as strong as the Great Martial Masters of the West Universe Dojo, they were better at high-frequency attacks. The speed of their swords was blindingly fast.
What a fast sword!
Even Lu Yu’s eyes were filled with surprise. If it weren’t for the fact that he was stronger than them in terms of actual strength, he probably wouldn’t be able to defend against such an attack that excelled in speed.
“Defeat the enemy!”
As if they had discussed it beforehand, the two Great Martial Masters from the West Universe Dojo attacked from the front, while the Great Martial Masters from the Southern Star Dojo distracted Lu Yu from the side, searching for his weakness in an attempt to kill him in one strike.
Compared to a frontal attack, this kind of attack that excelled in speed and unpredictability was more like two covert assassins, giving people a great sense of danger.
Lu Yu shook his head and thought to himself, “Unfortunately, their strength is too weak.”
He activated the Flowing Fin Transformation Skill and ignored the side attacks of the two Great Martial Masters from the Southern Star Dojo. He faced the two Great Martial Masters from the West Universe Dojo and slashed out viciously, breaking all the attacks at once.
Then, he sent two people flying with one swing!
This move stunned everyone, including the two Great Martial Masters of the West Universe Dojo who were caught off guard completely.
Was Lu Yu planning to risk everything without guarding against a sneak attack?
When the two Great Martial Masters of the Southern Star Dojo saw this opportunity, a ruthless look flashed across their eyes. Their attacks landed on Lu Yu like a raging storm.
However, the two Great Martial Masters saw that all the hits that landed on Lu Yu’s body were unable to harm him at all.
Moreover, the force they exerted was reflected back instantly. Their bodies shook violently and they were sent flying backwards more than ten meters away.
“Our attacks can’t break through his defense at all. This Lu Yu must be wearing some protective equipment, and it’s at least A-class or above.”
The two of them discussed in a low voice. They could not believe that Lu Yu could block their attack without any protective equipment. Otherwise, this would be too embarrassing.
Just as the four Great Martial Masters were at their wits’ end, an extremely powerful true energy suddenly erupted from behind them.
They turned to look, and saw Guan Shan, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death. For some inexplicable reason, he was like a piece of dead wood that had suddenly been revived. His weak life force suddenly flourished.
It was as if he had experienced some kind of nirvana. His aura soared skyward. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly broke through a certain critical point.
This was the true energy fluctuation of a Grand Master. Guan Shan had actually broken through to the Grand Master realm in a state of impending death.
“Hahaha… Lu Yu, you didn’t expect this, did you? Not only am I not dead, but I also broke through to the Grand Master realm thanks to you. This time, we are cultivators of the same realm. Your advantage is gone.”
Guan Shan laughed insanely, his voice full of smugness and infinite glory.
Earlier, his heart was full of resentment and furious hatred. By some coincidence, he had successfully broken through his limits with that breath of resentment and reached the perfection level of the Indestructible Combat Body.
At the same time, he had also broken through to the Grand Master realm in one go. From now on, he would be one of the strongest combat forces in Lunan City.
The four Great Martial Masters had also heard that in order to cultivate the Indestructible Combat Body of the East End Dojo to perfection, one had to be on the verge of death before he could attain break through and become a Grand Master.
Initially, Lu Yu had thought that this was just an exaggeration by the East End Dojo. Contrary to his expectations, Guan Shan really attained a breakthrough.
Notwithstanding his shock, he quickly said, “Congratulations, Senior Guan. You’ve succeeded in progressing another step forward. You have added another Grand Master to our Lunan City.”
“You guys stand back. Watch how I kill this rascal, Lu Yu.”
At this moment, Guan Shan was not only gloating gleefully, but also extremely arrogant. His nose was almost pointing at the sky. The moment he finished speaking, he charged towards Lu Yu.
“Indestructible Power Hit!”
Guan Shan, who had just become a Grand Master, no longer had many restrictions when deploying the strongest attacking move of the Indestructible Combat Body. He directly launched his attack and struck out with his palm. Immediately, a massive force at the level of Grand Masters clashed explosively like mountains shattering and oceans overturning.
Lu Yu didn’t move. His right hand made a gesture of drawing out a saber, and a malevolent glint flashed across his eyes. He raised his hand and slashed out in the opposite direction.
Thereafter, a battle between Grand Masters erupted just like that. Who would be the winner? Anticipation flashed across everyone’s eyes. They were all waiting to see who would be the final victor.
This would determine whether the Central Dojo, currently gaining momentum voraciously, would be destroyed utterly, or the East End Dojo could shake off its decline and rise to a new peak.
