Chapter 458: Custodial Care

~8 min read 1,584 words

"Let's go, let's head back first. When the President returns, we will tell him about this and see what he has to say."

Hai Qiong sighed helplessly and walked toward the bottom of the city wall.

Meng Rang and the others looked at each other, all wearing helpless expressions.

Although they believed that President Su possessed extraordinary strength, compared to the Martial Artist before them, there was likely still a huge gap.

Sigh, they had thought that joining Yongan City at this time was like providing fuel in snowy weather, but now it seemed they had considered things too simply.

……

In the camp, many people from the Martial Arts Association rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing the body of the Rampaging Wild Bull King, which looked like a small hill, their mouths hung wide open in shock.

This is a Commander-level Fierce Beast? It's too big!

Just imagine, if this Commander-level Fierce Beast were still alive, would Yongan City's thirty-meter-high, seemingly indestructible wall be like paper in front of it, capable of being swatted down with one or two slaps?

"Isn't Brother Lu too powerful? How on earth did he kill this Commander-level Fierce Beast?"

"I don't know, but look at these wounds; they seem to have been caused by an explosion."

"It certainly looks like it. Could he have used a bomb?"

"A bomb? Are you kidding me? This is a Commander-level Fierce Beast! Even a grenade launcher has no effect on it; it would have to be a missile at the very least."

"Alright, stop arguing. Even if we knew how Brother Lu did it, what could we do? We struggle even to kill an Advanced Fierce Beast, let alone deal with a Commander-level one."

"That's right, that's right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Inside the room, listening to Lu Yu recount the sequence of events, the moods of Song Tian and the others were like a roller coaster, rising and falling.

Don't look at how lightly Lu Yu spoke of it; if it were them, they wouldn't even be able to charge into the outermost group of Advanced Fierce Beasts, let alone the group of Elite-level Fierce Beasts and the Commander-level Fierce Beast inside.

"Brother Lu, your strength is truly getting stronger and stronger. I, Kang Yuan, am sincerely impressed." Kang Yuan gave a thumbs up and praised him incessantly.

"Indeed, to be able to kill a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone, even at the Headquarters, there aren't many who could do it, right?"

"Even if there were, they would have to be at the level of the President of the Headquarters. The key is that Brother Lu is young; in my opinion, it is not impossible for him to surpass the President of the Headquarters in the future."

"Hahahaha." The group laughed after hearing this; these words were from the bottom of their hearts.

Song Tian also laughed, but a trace of worry was faintly revealed between his brows.

Because he clearly remembered that Lu Yu had once said that one day he would go to the Headquarters to seek justice.

And the President of the Headquarters was biased toward Xiao Zhan. If the Huo Yun incident was truly the work of Xiao Zhan, given Lu Yu's temper, he would definitely take action against Xiao Zhan, and the President of the Headquarters would certainly not sit idly by.

In that case, a great battle would likely be unavoidable.

"Sigh, it's a pity that apart from praying silently in my heart, I can't help at all. I really hope that matter has nothing to do with Xiao Zhan; otherwise, whether it's Brother Lu who gets into trouble or President Zhou, it would be a huge loss for the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association."

Song Tian sighed secretly in his heart.

……

Martial Arts Association.

In the courtyard, a pungent smell of blood permeated the air.

Lu Yu gripped that pitch-black Dagger tightly, his entire body covered in blood from head to toe. Seen from afar, he looked just like a blood-man who had walked out of a sea of blood.

Of course, this blood was not his own, but came from the Rampaging Wild Bull King that he had already completely dismantled.

At this moment, the body of the Rampaging Wild Bull King had already turned into a pile of meat chunks stacked like a small hill.

Song Tian and the others, who were watching from the side, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but swallow hard, their hearts filled with shock.

"President,"

Lu Yu turned around and revealed a smile at Song Tian, "These beast meats, let's just leave them here for now. I'll come to process them in a few days. During this period, I'll have to trouble the President to arrange for people to help keep an eye on them."

One must know that the flesh and blood of a Commander-level Fierce Beast is a highly tempting treasure for a True Essence Realm Martial Artist.

Placing this flesh and blood here is like putting a large amount of wealth in a bustling market; it is truly difficult not to attract the covetousness of others.

Although Lu Yu did indeed have one or two Space Items on hand, he was unfortunately unable to unlock them for the time being.

Therefore, he could only wait until he obtained the Heavenly God Fruit tomorrow and had Ji Wanqing consume it, then learn the method to open the Space Items from her.

However, he had full confidence in his heart that in Yongan City, no one would dare to covet these things.

"What kind of trouble is this?" Song Tian hurriedly responded with a smile upon hearing this, "Brother Lu, rest assured, I will stay behind to watch over them personally."

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Good, President, you can also take some of this meat to consume; it should have a good effect on improving your strength."

"I, I can take it to consume?"

Song Tian could hardly believe his ears, his face full of astonishment.

Not only him, but even Kang Yuan and the others nearby instantly revealed expressions of extreme shock.

After all, this was the flesh and blood of a Commander-level Fierce Beast; its efficacy was many times stronger than that of an Elite-level Fierce Beast.

"Of course." Lu Yu saw the hesitation in Song Tian's heart and hurriedly spoke first, "It's just a few pieces of Commander-level Fierce Beast meat. Not only you, President, but if Brother Gao and the others want to eat some, that's no problem either."

As he spoke, he also smiled kindly at Chang Lei and the others.

The main thing was that this bull was simply too big; with tens of tons of meat, let alone giving Song Tian and the others a few hundred pounds, even if it were several thousand or ten thousand pounds, Lu Yu wouldn't take it to heart at all.

Of course, the premise was that he must be informed.

If someone were to take it without asking, once he discovered it, he wouldn't be as easy to talk to as he was now.

"Brother Lu..."

Chang Lei and the others were just about to say something when Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to say anything more. It's getting late, everyone go back and rest early. I should also go refine pills."

"Good, good."

The group hurriedly nodded, watching Lu Yu's figure gradually disappear into the pitch-black night.

After a long while, Chang Lei slowly turned around, looked at the people beside him, and said with great emotion, "Brother Lu is truly impeccable toward us; he is too good."

"Indeed," Jiang Yao's eyes were slightly red as she looked at the pile of beast meat not far away and said with emotion, "This is the meat of a Commander-level Fierce Beast; I wouldn't have even dared to think about it before."

"To tell you the truth, let alone Commander-level Fierce Beast meat, even Elite-level Fierce Beast meat was something we couldn't even eat before."

"Isn't that so? President, let's all stay here for these few days and keep watch with you. Otherwise, we really wouldn't feel right in our hearts."

Song Tian swept his gaze over the faces of the few people one by one and said with a smile, "Good, then let's stay here for these few days. Having lived in the Base for so long, changing the place to stay is quite a unique experience."

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed happily.

At this moment, Lu Yu had already returned to the Base.

He first took a refreshing shower, washing the blood off his body, then circulated his True Qi to completely evaporate the bloody scent clinging to his skin, only then letting out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, this busy spell was over.

Originally, he had intended to leave the task of dismantling the body of the Raging Wild Bull King to Song Tian and the others.

But upon second thought, with the weapons in their hands, he feared they would be unable to cut through the incomparably tough skin of a Commander-level Fierce Beast.

And he truly could not rest easy handing over the Dagger in his own possession to them.

After thinking it over, in the end, he could only do it himself.

He intended to keep the large amount of beef he had cut for himself and those close to him to consume.
