He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Fatty Wang didn't even look up, deftly slicing the last few pieces of sashimi while retorting without any politeness:

"Isn't that obvious? Can you even compare to Brother Lu?"

With or without you as general, our defenses would still be in the same sorry state.

Those who deserve to die, die; those who deserve to suffer, suffer.

He paused, his voice lowering, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sadness:

"But how many brothers' lives did Brother Lu save when he came?"

Can you count them all?

Those old buddies I used to joke and laugh with are now lying outside, never to return...

If Brother Lu could have come sooner…

He shook his head, shaking off the sadness, and his tone hardened again.

"How dare you try to steal food from Brother Lu? Get out of here!"

Ouyang Zhen was speechless after being rebuked. He opened his mouth, but in the end he just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

Fatty Wang's words struck a nerve.

This further solidified his resolve:

No matter what method we use, even if it means resorting to underhanded tactics, we have to find a way to keep Lu Chen on the defensive line for a longer period of time!

This precious item is extremely important to the entire defense line!

Just then, several figures strode into the cafeteria.

They were members of the "Breaking the Formation" team, including Gu Daoxuan, Ye Wentian, and Huo Lingfei.

They still smelled of gunpowder, but they were all in high spirits.

The aura was more concentrated than before.

Clearly, they gained a lot from that previous fierce battle.

"Haha, Brother Lu, thank you so much!"

Ye Wentian was the first to rush over, patting Lu Chen's shoulder hard, his face full of excitement.

"Thanks to you, my 'Sword Qi Transformation into Rainbow' technique has finally broken through to the third level!"

I feel my understanding of sword intent has deepened a bit!

Although his sword aura was restrained,

But there's an underlying sense of greater harmony and clarity.

"Brother Ye, you're too kind."

Lu Chen quickly replied modestly,

"This is the result of your diligent practice and profound accumulation of knowledge."

I merely created a few conditions, adding the finishing touches.

"No, Brother Lu, this is all thanks to you!"

Ye Wentian shook his head, his expression serious.

"If it weren't for you backing us up, allowing us to fight without any worries,

I need to comprehend the sword intent between life and death; there's no way I could break through this bottleneck so quickly!

That experience of walking on the edge of death was so profound!

"Yes, Lu Chen, you deserve a lot of credit."

Gu Daoxuan also walked over, a smile on his usually composed face.

"It's not just Wentian; all the brothers in our team have gained some insights."

Especially the experience of fighting to the death with those level 90 demons is priceless.

"It's all thanks to you."

The other team members nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Lu Chen.

Although their journey was perilous, they were protected by Lu Chen's ability to resurrect infinitely.

Everyone underwent a thorough life-or-death experience, gaining far more than expected.

Ouyang Zhen looked at Gu Daoxuan, whose aura had clearly changed, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Little Gu, you... you've broken through?"

He sensed that Gu Daoxuan's aura had become even more concentrated, like a volcano about to erupt.

Gu Daoxuan shook his head:

"No, but... it will be soon."

The bottleneck has been broken; I should be able to achieve success naturally after a period of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhen fixed his gaze on Lu Chen again, his mind racing with calculations.

This amazing treasure can not only save lives, but also help top experts break through their bottlenecks?

This value... is simply immeasurable!

We must find a way to "tie" him to the front line.

No, they're "tied" to the military!

"Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around. Brother Lu, please enjoy your meal!"

Fatty Wang carried over the last large bowl of fragrant charcoal-grilled dragon ribs.

It was placed on the long table in front of Lu Chen.

Instantly, a rich aroma of meat mixed with the scents of various spices wafted over.

Lu Chen's stomach rumbled loudly, much to his dismay.

His eyes were fixed on the translucent sashimi, its texture like that of a work of art.

And the golden-brown, sizzling grilled meat almost made my mouth water.

He spent his entire childhood in an orphanage, where he ate only ordinary food.

Where have I ever seen such a high-level monster ingredient?

That female tyrannical dean is really something.

Can't you occasionally prepare something nice to improve the meals in the hospital?

Realizing he had lost his composure, Lu Chen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"Hehe, I'm so naive, please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, everyone around rolled their eyes.

Never seen the world?

Having such an incredible profession,

You can even get a big shot like Master Leng to personally escort and take care of you? You're saying you've never seen the world?

Ghosts believe it!

They rarely even get to see Master Leng.

"Little brother Lu, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The head nurse smiled and urged him on, pushing several of the most delicious-looking dishes toward Lu Chen.

"You eat too, you eat too."

Lu Chen dared not eat alone, so he quickly invited everyone to join him.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony..."

Ouyang Zhen rubbed his hands together, just about to pick up his chopsticks to grab the largest and fattest piece of sashimi that he had been eyeing for so long.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light appeared, and Wang Pangzi had somehow regained his grip on his black iron kitchen knife.

He stood expressionless between Ouyang Zhen and the table, the kitchen knife swaying intentionally or unintentionally.

Ouyang Zhen was so startled that his hand trembled, and his chopsticks fell to the table with a "clatter." He chuckled dryly twice.

"Hehe, I was just saying...you guys eat, you guys eat."

He realized that he wouldn't get any of the dragon meat today.

These guys, one by one, don't take him, the general, seriously at all. If they're unhappy, they're really willing to beat him up.

Lu Chen was a little confused.

This dragon meat... could it be some extraordinary rare and precious treasure?

Even generals aren't qualified to eat this?

"Little brother Lu, ignore him, it's all yours, hurry up and eat."

The head nurse smiled and pushed the plate towards Lu Chen again.

"Gurgle..."

Lu Chen swallowed hard, then, without further ado, picked up his chopsticks.

Pick up a slice of sashimi, as thin as a cicada's wing, that gleams faintly with gold under the light.

I dipped it in the unnamed but uniquely fragrant sauce next to it and put it in my mouth.

Instantly, an indescribable delicious flavor exploded on my taste buds!

The meat is tender, smooth, and springy, melting in your mouth.

A gentle yet powerful surge of pure energy flowed down his throat into his limbs and bones.

It made every pore on his body seem to open up.

It felt so good I almost groaned out loud.

My eyes lit up instantly!

"Delicious! So delicious!"

Lu Chen no longer cared about his image, his chopsticks flying as he began to devour his food.

Braised dishes are rich and flavorful with a tender, glutinous texture; charcoal-grilled dishes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with plenty of juice; steamed dishes are fresh and delicious with their original flavor...

Every method he tried made him unable to resist.

He ate extremely fast, with such speed that it left everyone around him speechless.

In less than three minutes,

The various dragon meat dishes on the long table, weighing a total of fifty or sixty pounds, were all devoured by Lu Chen!

There were hardly any garnishes left.

"ha--"

Lu Chen let out a satisfied burp, patted his slightly bulging belly, and said, "Delicious, so delicious..."
