Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 54: The Hero was Before My Eyes

Once Lu Yu heard his words, he suddenly roughly understood why this instructor Jiang Jun came here.

All the martial universities, not just the top 10, operated on a mentorship system.

Naturally, there were good and bad mentors. The quality was uneven.

Not only was there a certain difference in strength, but there was also a big difference in all other aspects.

For example, when it came to teaching students, a good mentor can give better instruction, while a poor mentor may give little or no instruction, and might even give the wrong instruction.

In addition to this, the mentor himself was a small influential power.

When students followed a mentor, they usually got to enjoy the resources and help given by the mentor.

A strong mentor with a well-connected background could naturally give more resources and help and support the students in their training.

Thus, the most important thing to do first after entering the martial arts university was to choose a mentor.

Lu Yu was well aware of these things, but as this milestone was still quite far in the future, and the martial arts exam was still some time away, Lu Yu naturally had not yet begun to consider this matter.

However, he didn’t expect that there would be people thinking about this already and even took the initiative to approach him.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Jiang, what do you want to say? You might as well be upfront about it.”

Jiang Jun glanced at Lu Yu and noticed the casual expression on Lu Yu’s face. He became somewhat displeased.

......

However, considering that he was the father of Lu Shan and Lu Shui, if he wanted to recruit Lu Shan and Lu Shui, who were so talented, to be his students, he must obtain this person’s consent. Jiang Jun therefore decided to restrain himself for a while.

Jiang Jun said with a haughty look, “It’s like this. Although I am now an instructor in the Lunan City Second High School, at the end of this semester I will enter the martial arts university to take up a new post. If all goes well, I may be assigned to one of the top 10 martial arts universities. I can see that Lu Shan and Lu Shui are good ability-wise. They are also staying in Lunan City, so I intend to let them follow me as my disciples. I will also train them well to give them a bright future.”

Lu Yu smiled when he heard that, and asked, “May I ask, what level of martial arts training are you at, Mr. Jiang?”

Jiang Jun’s face turned slightly embarrassed and said, “Intermediate Martial Master, what’s wrong?”

The smile on Lu Yu’s face got even bigger.

An Intermediate Martial Master serving as an instructor at a high school in Lunan City was definitely proof that he had extraordinary abilities.

With this level, he could also qualify to be a mentor in a martial arts university.

However, that would only suffice for ordinary martial arts universities. If he wanted to go into the top 10 martial arts universities, this level clearly fell short.

Obviously, Jiang Jun must have had some connections, plus the fact that he was relatively younger, that would allow him access into the top 10 martial arts universities as a mentor.

In addition to this, he might also need to have two very talented students like Lu Shan and Lu Shui, to have a chance to enter the top 10 martial arts universities.

In other words, while Jiang Jun might be doing this for the sake of Lu Shan and Lu Shui, it was also clear he had ulterior motives.

“As far as I know, with your martial arts level, it may fall short of the standards of the top 10 martial arts universities, am I right? Besides, you are a new mentor, how can you compare with those veteran mentors? Lu Shan and Lu Shui can easily find better mentors after entering the top 10 martial arts universities, right? You are so eager to recruit Lu Shan and Lu Shui as your disciples even before they have taken the martial arts exam, I believe you must have other personal reasons for doing this, right?” Lu Yu said with a laugh.

When Jiang Jun’s plan was exposed, he looked very awkward. He blurted out with embarrassment, “Says who? Who told you that a new mentor is necessarily inferior to an experienced one? You are just a low-level Martial Arts Warrior or even an ordinary person. What do you know about these things? Don’t talk nonsense!”

At this moment, Lu Shan and Lu Shui sitting by the side, could not bear it any longer.

Lu Shui weakly prompted him, “Mr. Jiang, my father’s name is Lu Yu. You should know my father’s strength since you attended the award ceremony.”

“Lu Yu? The award ceremony?”

In an instant, Jiang Jun turned ashen-white as he recollected everything.

No wonder the man in front of him seemed a little familiar. It turned out that he was the hero of Lunan City, Lu Yu, that he saw at the award ceremony!

At that time, although Jiang Jun’s location was not bad, it was not the two front most rows, so he did not see Lu Yu’s face too clearly and couldn’t make the connection immediately.

When he heard Lu Shui’s prompt, Jiang Jun finally remembered that the man in front of him was the great hero of Lunan City, Lu Yu!

As for Lu Yu’s martial arts level, Jiang Jun was well aware. It was the level of the Great Martial Master. It was one big level difference from his own, with the difference as vast as heaven and earth…

At this moment, Jiang Jun’s face was a rich mix of conflicting emotions.

There was regret, horror, shame, in fact, all kinds of expressions.

Immediately after this, Jiang Jun hurriedly bowed to Lu Yu in an extremely respectful manner and said: “Sorry! I’m so sorry, Dojo Master Lu. I did not recognize it was you. I was way out of line. Please reprimand me! ”

Before coming, Jiang Jun thought that if Lu Shan and Lu Shui could suddenly improve their strength so much, it must have been through their family’s help. If so, then their family background would be of some standing and that he should adopt a better attitude.

However, after arriving at Lu Shan and Lu Shui’s home and seeing the dilapidated house, Jiang Jun instantly dismissed this idea. He instantly assumed that Lu Shan and Lu Shui’s family was very poor and their father was a very low-level martial arts practitioner.

Who would have thought that these two kids’ father was not only a martial arts warrior, he was a very high-level expert. On top of that, he was also the great hero, Lu Yu, whose reputation recently spread like wildfire in Lunan City!

When Lu Shan and Lu Shui saw his reaction, they gloated with glee inwardly.

The redoubtable instructor of Lunan City Second High School, Jiang Jun, even in the face of the principal and other senior management staff, had always been disdainful, even outright fearless because his strength was much higher and his family background was also more wealthy.

However, at this point, as powerful and arrogant as Jiang Jun the mentor was, in front of their father, he was so humble and fearful.

At this moment, there was no longer any of the usual arrogance on Jiang Jun’s face.

There was only respect and trepidation!

Lu Shan and Lu Shui, once again realized that their father was no longer the old man of the past. The strength of a Great Martial Master plus his tremendous contribution in the battle to defend the city against the Fearsome Beasts’ attack, had made Lu Yu a very important big shot.

However, Lu Yu did not seem to care too much. He simply smiled and waved his hand, saying, “It’s okay, you are also considered Lu Shan and Lu Shui’s teacher after all. There is no need to stand on ceremony. Please get up and continue our discussion. Lu Shan, Lu Shui, you two go to bed first. Let me talk to your teacher alone.”

“Yes, Dad!”

Lu Shan and Lu Shui replied in unison, and went back to their respective rooms.

In the middle of the living room, Lu Yu invited Jiang Jun to sit down and have a detailed discussion.

Jiang Jun, who had always been proud, sat down with some trepidation at this moment.

Jiang Jun had met powerful experts of the Great Martial Master level before, but never one with such an outstanding achievement like Lu Yu when he was involved in the battle against the Fearsome Beasts that attacked the city. In Jiang Jun’s mind, he believed Lu Yu to be a man motivated by fervent ardor and courage. He was absolutely his great hero, the type of character that Jiang Jun admired the most.

In fact, Jiang Jun looked upon Lu Yu as his idol. He could never have imagined that he would meet his idol in this kind of occasion.

After sitting down, Lu Yu became more laid back and did not put on any airs at all. He said with a laugh, “Mr. Jiang, about the choice of mentor after Lu Shan and Lu Shui entered the top 10 martial arts universities, feel free to share your ideas with me. But it’s best for you to tell the truth and not conceal anything for your own personal motives.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Jiang Jun waved his hands repeatedly and then revealed his true thoughts.
