130 Aged Hero
Under Lu Yu’s modifications, many spear techniques were eliminated from the Heavenly King’s Incantation and the foundation of the saber technique was infused into it. Gradually, it became a saber technique.
For two days, Lu Yu worked at perfecting it.
At the same time, the Central Dojo was also gradually completing its takeover of the West City District and the South City District. During this process, many powerful families refused to change their habits. They relied on their status and influence to lord over others and were punished by Zhang Yu without mercy.
For example, the once illustrious Wang family in the West City District, the Yue family in the East City District, which had not declined for nearly a hundred years, were all mercilessly beaten back by Zhang Yu. For a while, these incidents caused quite a stir.
“Zhang Yu, you are just a dog with a powerful master. Why don’t you take a piss and reflect on yourself in your urine? Are you worthy of controlling me?”
“Pfft! Your Zhang family is only a small family. You can be smug for a while, but you can’t be smug forever. Sooner or later, you will suffer retribution.”
Many people who were jealous of the Zhang family spoke out in anger, but were suppressed by Zhang Yu with thunderous force.
Beside him, Zhang Yu’s son, Zhang Huaian, had witnessed his father offend almost everyone he could offend. His eyelids twitched madly and he couldn’t help but worry. “Father, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to do this.”
In this world, there was no such thing as an everlasting family clan. If the Zhang family lost their influence one day, there would be no way to retreat.
Moreover, Lu Yu had given Zhang Yu the right to monitor the powerful families. It seemed to be a glorious role, but it had become another saber in Lu Yu’s hand. If the saber was broken, he could just discard it.
“Hehe… Huai’an, what you said makes sense, but you have to remember that in life, we don’t fight for forever. We only fight for the moment!”
“Our Zhang family has been dependent on others’ whims for our survival in Lunan City for hundreds of years. We can’t let go of this opportunity to rise up. Our Zhang family will also become a prominent force in Lunan City.”
A hint of madness flickered in Zhang Yu’s eyes. How could he not have thought about these questions? If he wanted to be rich and illustrious, he had to fight for it and undertake the risks.
Looking at Zhang Yu’s insane expression, Zhang Huaian fell silent. A moment later, his eyes reflected a look of determination as he said, “Father, since you’ve decided, I’ll fight with you too.”
“Hahaha! You are indeed my good son. Let us father and son turn the Zhang family into a powerful family in Lunan City!”
Zhang Yu was gratified, and the look in his eyes revealed a desire called ambition.
Not only was Lu Yu powerful and endowed with a heaven-defying talent, but he also had the support of the military zone. As long as he continued to grow, Zhang Yu was certain that Lunan City would not be Lu Yu’s final stage. There would definitely be a broader world in his future.
In fact, the Zhang family would not only be a family based in Lunan City.
Now, Lunan City’s appearance was almost brand-new. The Central Dojo was spread out in the four big city districts and never once committed any offense against the civilians. It was praised by both the cultivators and ordinary people of Lunan City. More and more cultivators chose to join the Central Dojo until their doorstep was almost trampled to pieces.
While Lu Yu was meditating in seclusion, Song Yu was temporarily in charge of managing the Central Dojo. When she saw this scene, her head felt like it was going to explode.
In the end, the threshold was raised for the recruitment criteria. The dojo would only accept Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6 and above, so in an instant a large number of candidates were eliminated. These people all shook their heads and left regretfully. They swore to themselves that they must elevate their ability as soon as possible.
In this way, this method unwittingly recruited all the geniuses in Lunan City into the Central Dojo.
“Seriously! He only knows how to be a hands-off boss,” Song Yu grumbled. At this moment, a young man at Martial Arts Warrior Grade 3 walked in.
Seeing this, Song Yu waved her hand and said, “I’m sorry, our dojo only accepts Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6 and above.”
The young man scanned the premises as if he was looking for someone. He said respectfully, “I’m here to look for Grandpa Lu. May I know if Grandpa Lu is here?”
Beside him, Qin Yong couldn’t help but laugh. During this period, there had been countless people pretending to be Lu Yu’s relatives. Now, here was this young man who was willing to be his grandson!
Seeing that Qin Yong didn’t believe him, the young man panicked and explained, “My name is Zhang Wu. I really know Grandpa Lu.”
Qin Yong came up to chase him away and said, “Little kid, go wherever you please. There is no Grandpa Lu here.”
At this moment, a figure strutted out in a very dignified manner with his hands behind his back, his whole demeanor full of energy and spirit. His eyes contained a soul-sucking expression, like a treasured saber that was about to devour blood.
Lu Yu had emerged from his meditative seclusion. He had successfully improved the Heavenly King’s Incantation and changed it to the Heavenly Saber’s Method. After mastering it, he had reached the Minor Achievement stage.
The moment they saw Lu Yu, the disciples in the dojo became very excited and bowed in respect. This guy was their idol. He had single-handedly destroyed the four big dojos and changed the structure of Lunan City.
Zhang Wu, who was being chased away, immediately knelt down with red-rimmed eyes. “Grandpa Lu, finally I get to meet you.”
Lu Yu frowned. This young man looked familiar. He thought for a moment and asked, “You are… Zhang Hong’s grandson, Zhang Wu?”
“Huh? This young man really knew Captain Lu…”
Qin Yong was a little dumbfounded. He smiled awkwardly and retreated to the side.
Zhang Wu nodded vigorously and said with tears in his eyes, “Grandpa Lu, I know you’re a very important person with amazing abilities. I beg you, go and visit my grandfather. My grandfather can’t hold on much longer.”
When Lu Yu heard that his old comrade, who had participated in the Holy War with him back then, was in difficulties, Lu Yu’s expression turned serious. He immediately set out to visit Zhang Hong.
In the Holy War 70 years ago, humans had paid a huge price to expel the Fearsome Beasts and recover a portion of the lost territories. Many people who had participated in that Holy War and survived had more or less suffered hidden injuries.
As they grew older, their health vitality would decline. In the end, they would not be able to stop the decline and end up dying miserably.
Zhang Hong’s neighborhood was a dilapidated residential district. After so many years, his cultivation had regressed to Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1. As a result, he did not receive enough federal subsidies to lead a good life.
In fact, Zhang Hong’s situation was even more perilous than he had imagined.
When Lu Yu arrived at a dark and narrow room, Zhang Hong was already lying on the bed, on the verge of death. His entire face was pale, and his cultivation level had even fallen below that of a Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1. He could not be considered a Martial Arts Warrior anymore.
Seeing Zhang Wu behind Lu Yu, who didn’t dare to look up, Zhang Hong glared at him weakly and said, “Zhang Wu, who asked you to bring Honorable Mr. Lu here? Mr. Lu… Mr. Lu is busy with work, how can he have time to bother with these matters?”
With a thud, Zhang Wu knelt on the ground and cried, “Grandpa, you’re already in this state. I can’t watch you die without doing anything.”
It was a rare good fortune for this stubborn Zhang Hong to be blessed with such a filial grandson. Lu Yu nodded with some gratification, walked to the bed and sat down.
Looking at this old comrade of yore, Zhang Wu was a little dazed. Lu Yu appeared young and full of vigor, like a teenager of almost the same age as his grandson, whereas he himself was a hoary white-haired man, like a block of rotten wood.
Zhang Hong said angrily, “Lu Yu, why do you still bother with me? I’m just a piece of trash who has achieved nothing. Let me die.”
Lu Yu’s expression was solemn and unprecedentedly stern. “You’re my old comrade-in-arms. You are a hero who has participated in the Holy War and protected our country. In this world, no one has the right to call you a piece of trash, including yourself.”
