Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 2 shows the bearing of a war god!
After testing his punching strength, Lu Jin left the underground martial arts training hall and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

While eating, Lu Jin looked at the maid who was waiting beside him and taking care of his daily needs, and said, "Go see if the old man has gotten up yet."

"Yes, young master."

The maid responded and turned to leave the villa.

Before Lu Jin had finished eating, the maid returned and said, "Young Master, the Master is having breakfast."

"I see."

Lu Jin nodded and sped up the cooking.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Lu Jin strode out of the house and headed to the main house located in the center of the manor, a few dozen meters away.

Upon entering the main house's dining room, Lu Jin saw an elderly man with gray hair but a sprightly demeanor sitting at a long table eating, with several maids standing beside him.

"grandfather."

Lu Jin quickly walked to the old man's side and greeted him.

"Hmm, you've cultivated genetic energy, kid?"

Seeing the smile on Lu Jin's face and the different spirit he had shown yesterday, the old man Lu Yi put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"You have such keen insight!"

Lu Jin showered him with compliments.

"Very good! How much has your punching power improved?"

Overjoyed, Lu Yi quickly pressed for an answer.

As one of the twelve major families of China in the HR Alliance, the Lu family has no shortage of warrior-level and general-level martial artists.

Martial artists are human too, and they have many other reasons to spend money.

As long as you have money, you can recruit warriors and generals; you can have as many as you want, but you can find plenty.

However, when it comes to War God-level warriors, let alone the Lu family, which is not ranked very high, even top-ranked families and major families around the world lack them, especially War God-level warriors who are direct descendants of the families.

If Lu Jin has good cultivation talent and the potential to become a war god, it would be a great joy for the Lu family.

If one were to become a member of parliament, that would be even more remarkable.

With a powerful member of the Lu family who is a direct descendant of a councilor at that time, the Lu family could easily become the number one family in the HR Alliance of China!

After all, as of now, although the HR Alliance's twelve major families in China have some alliances with powerful councilors, none of them have a councilor in their ranks.

Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and you will run if you rely on people.

When it really comes down to it, the only people you can rely on are the direct descendants who share the family's fate and its fate.

Lu Jin glanced at the group of maids standing to the side.

Seeing this, the old man was delighted and waved to everyone.

Such evasiveness suggests either a shameful failure or an exceptionally talented genius; there is no third possibility.

Soon, only the grandfather and grandson remained in the restaurant, and even the thoughtful maids closed the restaurant door behind them.

Then, Lu Yi looked at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin said, "More than two thousand kilograms."

"Wow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened, and he immediately stood up.

"Let's go to the family's common training hall."

The old man, who was still in relatively good health, didn't even eat breakfast. After calling out to Lu Jin, he opened the restaurant door and strode quickly outside.

He was able to increase his punching power by more than 2,000 kilograms on his first training session, truly a god of war!

With ample resources from his family, as long as he's willing to invest heavily, it won't be difficult for Lu Jin to become a high-level War God Warrior in the future.

With a bit more luck, like obtaining a treasure like the Wood Crystal, becoming a councilor wouldn't be out of the question!

However, seeing is believing. Although Lu Jin was unlikely to lie to this old man, Lu Yi still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

If what Lu Jin said is true, then the Lu family's resources will be tilted towards Lu Jin in the future.

Without going into too much detail, the Lu family must at least cultivate a high-level war god from the direct line of the family.

Instead of relying solely on a War God-level retainer who joined the Lu family and other War God-level warriors they befriended in terms of high-end martial arts.

As one of the twelve major families in the HR Alliance of China, the Lu family has a small number of direct descendants, but if you include collateral descendants, the family population is still quite large.

Therefore, the family's public training hall is very large, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

Inside the spacious public martial arts training hall, the old man Lu Yi glanced at the dozen or so family members who had come to practice martial arts, and then instructed his trusted followers behind him: "Clear the training hall for now and turn off the surveillance cameras."

There are plenty of treacherous people in the world who can't stand seeing others do well, and the Lu family is no exception, with its own rivals.

A genius has emerged from the direct line of the family; it is necessary to take precautions to prevent him from falling victim to the machinations of treacherous individuals.

If possible, Lu Yi hopes to wait until Lu Jin's cultivation talent is fully realized and can serve as a pillar for the family before letting other forces outside know about him.

The attendant replied, "Yes, Master."

In less than three minutes, only Lu Yi and Lu Jin remained in the huge training hall.

Furthermore, all the monitoring equipment in the training hall was turned off, and even the punching power testing machine, speed testing instrument, and nerve reaction testing instrument were disconnected from the internet.

"Go."

Lu Yi gestured to Lu Jin.

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded and walked towards the punching power testing machine.

Soon, the test results for the three important indicators of martial artists were released.

— [Punching power: 3018 kg, speed: 51 m/s, reflexes: Excellent (Intermediate Warrior)]

"Hahaha~, I, Sun Lujin, have the bearing of a war god!"

The old man laughed heartily.

Lu Jin: "."

After a moment of laughter, Lu Yi asked, "Have you awakened any mental powers yet, kid?"

There was a reason why the old man asked that question.

First of all, Lu Jin's parents, who died in a wilderness hunt in their early years, had a mother who was a spiritualist.

Secondly, in the old man's eyes, Lu Jin did not have a headache problem.

However, in his childhood, whether it was walking, talking, or learning ability during his school years, he was much faster than ordinary people of the same age.

This undoubtedly fits the description of someone with naturally strong mental strength, and someone with naturally strong mental strength is definitely a potential spiritual master.
"I really hope I can have it, but it's not available."

Lu Jin shook his head.

Before reaching the Immortal level, under otherwise similar conditions, a Spiritual Master is undoubtedly much stronger than a martial artist of the same level, especially during the apprentice stage.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that a mentalist can fly on a shield is something that all apprentice-level martial artists without wings envy.

Like Lu Gang, the war god who perished in a level-three rat swarm in Jiangnan Base City several years ago.

If Lu Gang were a War God-level mental master, how could he possibly have died in a rat horde that was numerous but lacked quality?

Even if they can't wipe out the rat swarm, they can still escape unscathed by using their ability to fly.

'Not a spiritualist.'

Lu Yi felt both joy and a little regret.

Unfortunately, Lu Jin was not the spiritual master he had envisioned.

To everyone's delight, the more than 2,100 kilograms of punching power that Lu Jin gained during his first training session was not influenced by any artificial boosts from his awakened mental powers; it was a genuine manifestation of his martial arts talent.
