Outside the principal’s office,

a few of Lu Shan’s classmates whispered excitedly in surprise.

“That’s amazing! Lu Shan actually managed to get an invitation to the Town Hall Meeting tomorrow?”

“He seems to be the only student in our school who got it.”

“How did he do it? So impressive!”

“Normally it is due to having connections with family members. Under normal circumstances, students aren’t qualified to participate in the Town Hall Meeting.”

“…”

Lu Shan, who was in the office, opened the invitation letter with a perplexed expression.

To his surprise, it was not simply an invitation letter but a VIP invitation.

Unlike normal invitation letters, VIP invitations were much higher in status.

With the most simple invitations, most people would not get good seats. In fact, some did not even get to sit and could only stand.

As for the VIP invitation, the seats were located in the area closest to the front.

Not only were the seats good, but it was also not so crowded and very comfortable.

......

Lu Shan was shocked. He did not expect to get a VIP invitation!

As Lu Shan puzzled over this, he quickly thought of a possibility. Could it be related to his father?

After thinking about it, Lu Shan felt that this was the only possibility. There were no other possibilities.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the same thing was happening to Lu Shui in another high school.

It was also the principal who came personally. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, he personally handed over the invitation letter to the Town Hall Meeting to her.

…

In the manor of the Song family,

after a thorough investigation, Song Xiaotian had already obtained a lot of information about Lu Yu. As he read it, he became more and more surprised.

A year ago, he was only a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior. In fact, he was about to drop from that level to become an ordinary person.

Yet a year later, he had reached the level of a powerful Great Martial Master!

He was held in high regard by the City Lord and the Military Lord. Later, he became the dojo master of the Central Dojo and the Captain of the 4th Squadron. He had an infinitely bright future ahead of him.

If he was regarded as a genius Great Martial Master by the City Lord and the Military Lord now, he would be so much stronger in the future.

During the battle when the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city, he alone went on a killing spree, single-handedly turning a defensive battle into an offensive battle. He slew his way from the inner city to the outer city and still managed to return safely!

Song Xiaotian also learned from his daughter that Lu Yu had not only returned safely from the outer city, he had also slain an A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

If the people in the city knew that Lu Yu had achieved all these accomplishments, they would be even more surprised!

“There’s something strange about this Lu Yu. His strength has increased so rapidly. Not even the geniuses in our family can improve so quickly even with all kinds of rare resources. I’ve never heard of anyone in the entire Federation elevating his ability so quickly,” Song Xiaotian said doubtfully.

When Song Yu heard this, she instantly recalled the scene she saw before she fainted on the outer city wall, and she hurriedly said,

“Dad, I saw something strange before I fainted.”

“I think I saw Lu Yu eat some of that Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meat, and then his whole being seemed to become stronger. All his white hair disappeared, and his entire body appeared to have been rejuvenated.”

“Previously, I thought that I was mistaken and didn’t mention it. Now that you suddenly said that his strength has improved so rapidly, could it be related to this?”

Song Xiaotian paused for a while, then the realization hit him.

As the saying goes, a scholar is poor, but a warrior is rich.

Previously, Song Xiaotian had heard of a method to eat all sorts of expensive ingredients to supplement one’s strength and thus rapidly increase the strength of a martial arts practitioner.

This sort of training method had existed for a very long time. However, no one had ever successfully utilized it.

It was rumored that there really was someone who utilized this method to train and become powerful in the past. In the process, he managed to extend his life a lot, and achieved breakthrough to a level that no one could imagine.

However, after so many years, no one had ever succeeded in using this method.

First of all, there was the cooking technique. The current techniques were relatively simple, so cooking ordinary food wouldn’t be a problem. As for cooking expensive ingredients, there was no way to trigger the energy within them for people to absorb. Or else, during the actual cooking process, all the important energy would be lost.

Apart from that, the hardest part was the martial arts practitioners themselves.

Many people in the Federation knew all along that the meat of Fearsome Beasts contained a large amount of energy.

However, even though they knew, they couldn’t extract it and use it. They could only eat it as a delicious ingredient.

When ordinary people consumed the meat of Fearsome Beasts, they were unable to absorb even a bit and would straightaway have diarrhea if they tried to eat it.

Even for the martial arts practitioners themselves, they could only absorb a small amount of the energy. The remaining large amount of energy would go to waste.

“Who would have thought that this Lu Yu would be so amazing, to be able to absorb the energy from the meat of Fearsome Beasts. If this were true, it would be truly astounding. He is destined to have an extraordinary future.” Song Xiaotian couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Song Yu, who was by his side, was confused. She was completely unaware that there was such a method to train one’s skills. She also did not know how powerful this training method was. She asked with a puzzled look,

“Dad, will training like this make us very strong? It can’t be faster than the training method that ordinary people like us use. Speaking of this, I remember now. Lu Yu had left the corpse of the A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth in the storage of my interspatial ring. A few days ago, he came to me and asked me for it. He left a pool of blood in my storage and it made me so angry! If he hadn’t saved my life, I would’ve created trouble for him!”

“You must never ever create trouble for him.”

Song Xiaotian hurriedly cautioned.

“We can only try our best to rope in such a talent. Even if we can’t induct him into our Song family, we must at least remain on good terms with him and not offend him.”

“Of course, absorbing the energy from the meat of the Fearsome Beasts to train is very powerful. This is because there is no limit to it. As long as you have enough Fearsome Beast meat, you can continuously train and evolve your skills.”

“For ordinary practitioners, they can only train daily and advance slowly. You tell me, how big is the difference between the two?”

“Since Lu Yu can train and develop his skills by eating expensive ingredients, I have thought of a good way to repay him for saving your life. I don’t want to owe him this favor indefinitely. It doesn’t feel good to owe him a favor.”

Song Yu was very surprised when she heard that. She thought about it carefully and realized that there was indeed some truth to it.

Ordinary practitioners were incredibly slow. Even for those geniuses, it was considered very good if they could advance a small realm in a year.

However, this Lu Yu’s progress was so unbelievable. In just one year, he had advanced two great realms. This was simply unheard of.

“Caretaker!” Song Xiaotian shouted.

The caretaker standing outside the door immediately walked over briskly. He bowed slightly and asked respectfully, “Patriarch, what are your instructions?”

Not wasting any time, Song Xiaotian said, “Inform someone to return to the residence of the main Song family. Remember to send a trusted subordinate. Bring me the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ from the treasure vault!”

“Yes, sir,” the caretaker replied. He was about to leave when Song Xiaotian stopped him with another shout.

“Oh yes, what’s his name again? Song Lin and Song Ding, right? Has the punishment in accordance with the family rules been served to them?”

“I’ve finished punishing them. They are already half dead.”

“Oh, but that’s not enough! Banish their whole family from the Song family. Henceforth, they will no longer be part of the Song clan. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!”

The caretaker turned pale instantly. He did not expect the patriarch to be so ruthless to Song Lin’s family for the sake of an outsider.

Song Xiaotian simply nodded his head with a pleased look.
