Chapter 56: Urgent Mission

When Lu Yu saw that the City Lord’s personal guards had come to inform him in person, he knew it must be for something urgent.

Jiang Jun, who was by his side, recognized the urgency of the situation and quickly said, “Dojo Master Lu, you better hurry there. I will take my leave now. You can put your mind at ease with regard to what we discussed earlier.”

“Fine!”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and quickly left with the City Lord’s personal guards. Jiang Jun also left his house.

In the City Lord’s Office, as Lu Yu hurried in,

the City Lord, Yan Hong, the City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng and the dojo masters of the 4 great dojos were all waiting.

When they saw Lu Yu, all of them showed displeasure on their faces.

The 4 dojos were very unhappy that Lu Yu’s Central Dojo had taken all the limelight away from them and robbed them of martial arts experts.

At this rate, all the powerful experts would go to the Central Dojo. In time, the Central Dojo’s strength would surpass their dojos very quickly. Without fresh blood in the 4 great dojos, their strength would gradually decrease and their ranking would drop.

As far as the dojos were concerned, the most important thing to them was their ranking in the Federation. This ranking would determine the allowance, the skill techniques and equipment they could receive from the Federation. It concerned the future of the dojos, and affected their development going forward.

As for the City Lord and the City Lord’s Advisor, they were displeased that Lu Yu did not listen to them and give priority to the dojo in the recruitment drive.

In the end, many of the powerful experts ended up in the 4th squadron.

Though the 4th squadron was responsible for protecting their city, they were also responsible for other cities.

......

The crux of the matter was that these martial arts experts who joined the 4th squadron must go to battle eventually. Once they went into battle, it meant there would be casualties, unlike those who train in the dojos. These experts seldom go into battle and spend most of their time training and nurturing newcomers.

The city would lose its martial arts experts, thus its strength, easily this way. Although it would be good for the Federation overall, it would be detrimental to the city.

Despite the displeasure they felt with Lu Yu, at this moment Lu Yu was the hot favorite of the Military Lord. He was still the hero of the whole city, therefore the men still welcomed him with smiling faces.

“Dojo Master Lu, you have been making quite a splash lately!”

“Welcome, Captain Lu! Your fame has spread very wide recently. Everyone in our dojos are talking about you!”

“Dojo Master Lu, it’s been a long time!”

“You are here, Dojo Master Lu!”

“…”

The City Lord and the few dojo masters all greeted Lu Yu.

Lu Yu also reciprocated their greetings. However, he frowned slightly as he noticed that the attitudes of the City Lord and the few dojo masters towards him seemed to have changed slightly.

On the surface, everything appeared normal like before. They were all smiling and welcoming, but he could sense they were faking.

Lu Yu was at a loss. He didn’t do anything, yet he seemed to have offended them.

Nonetheless, Lu Yu didn’t really put such things at heart. In the world, what mattered most was strength.

As long as he kept increasing his own strength, he had no need to worry too much about other things.

Lu Yu looked at the City Lord, Yan Hong, and asked, “City Lord, may I ask what urgent matter is it that you have summoned me for?”

Yan Hong shook his head with a clueless expression and said, “I have no idea either. It was the Military Lord who passed down this instruction, asking us to gather for an important discussion. He even stipulated that you must attend. The Military Lord should be here shortly.”

As he spoke, Yan Hong was clearly not too happy.

Although Lu Yu was a Great Martial Master, he was just a newly minted Great Martial Master. On top of that, he was only a dojo master.

In terms of status, it was obviously not comparable to the City Lord. In fact, he was the City Lord’s subordinate.

However, now in the Military Lord’s mind, Lu Yu seemed to be a lot more important than the City Lord himself.

“I see,” Lu Yu acknowledged with a nod. He didn’t say anything else and waited patiently.

Before long, the Military Lord, Xu Qingguo arrived, his face solemn and grave.

“Honorable Military Lord.”

“Welcome, Honorable Military Lord!”

“…”

Everyone promptly got up and greeted him.

Xu Qingguo walked right to the front and with a wave of his hand, said, “Let’s dispense with all these pleasantries and get straight into business.”

The Military Lord Xu Qingguo spread out a map before him. With a serious demeanor, he said,

“I just received a distress call for help. I can’t reveal the party’s actual identity as it is top secret. But this person is very important to the Federation. He encountered some danger in this area. Our Gamma Military Zone must spare no expense to send people out there to rescue him!”

“This location is right here in the blood-sucking wasteland. I believe this place was also where the city-attacking Fearsome Beasts escaped to the last time.”

After listening to Xu Qingguo’s explanation, the City Lord, Yan Hong, and the other 4 dojo masters appear unperturbed, their faces calm and indifferent.

Very important to the Federation? Top secret character?

It had nothing to do with their Lunan City anyway. After all, this was the military’s business, it was the Gamma Military Zone’s business. Lunan City had no need to worry about this matter at all.

Tackling this task well was of not much benefit to Lunan City. If they screwed up, the Federation would not really blame the city but rather the Gamma Military Zone.

However, Lu Yu was somewhat tempted when he heard this news.

He wasn’t so concerned about rescuing the mysterious person, but he was very interested in the location.

The blood-sucking wasteland had those very ingredients that Lu Yu needed. If he was able to go there and collect them all, he could then use the second method stated in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’, which was the Spring Water Stewing method. He believed that if he were to cook the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meat using this method and then consume the meat, he would be able to increase his strength by a lot and perhaps reach the Grand Master level in one go!

An expert at the Grand Master level would undoubtedly be the cream of the crop in the whole Federation, a true powerful expert.

Once a person reached the Grand Master level, there were qualitative changes all around.

There was a saying that was widespread in the Federation.

Below Grand Master level, all were insignificant creatures!

This meant that although his Great Martial Master was now the pinnacle, compared to the Grand Master level, it was nothing. The difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

Within the Federation, there were quite a few powerful experts at the Great Martial Master level. Many of them were at the pinnacle of the Great Martial Master level too.

However, as far as powerful experts at the Grand Master level went, there were few and far between.

So many talented martial arts practitioners continued to train hard for decades, even centuries, after they reached the pinnacle of the Great Martial Master level, but were unable to make the final step, break through the bottleneck and enter the Grand Master realm.

Things would be different for Lu Yu though. With the SSS-class Gluttony Talent, as long as he had sufficiently good ingredients and cooking methods, he could break through without hitting any bottlenecks.

The meat of the A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and other ingredients were already assembled. The second cooking method in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ manual was also of a high enough level.

Now, all Lu Yu lacked were the final few precious resources that could be found on the blood-sucking wasteland.

Lu Yu was really very tempted. He kept looking at the Military Lord, waiting for him to continue speaking.

The Military Lord, Xu Qingguo, then continued. “This matter is very urgent. The Gamma Military Zone and powerful experts in the other combat units are located too far away and can’t reach here in time. That’s why we can only depend on the powerful experts in the Lunan City for this important mission. Gentlemen, who is willing to take the lead to put into action this exploratory rescue mission? As long as they proceed, they will receive excellent treatment. And if they return triumphantly, there will be rich rewards awaiting them. On top of that, I, Xu Qingguo, will owe them a big favor!”

The favor from the almighty Military Lord was in itself a very rich reward. From here, it could be seen that this mission was extremely urgent.

However, the City Lord and the 4 dojo masters simply exchanged glances indifferently. All their faces indicated that they were very unwilling to participate.
