Chapter 3: Astonishing Improvement Overnight

In the old attic, the moonlight shone through the window.

Lu Yu, with a head full of white hair and a very serious expression, wrote out the ‘Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill’ tirelessly.

It was a technique that was so incredibly complicated, yet Lu Yu was able to write it down so rapidly.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Yu had completed his magnum opus.

The complexity of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill was a hundred times that of the Federation’s channeling technique.

The channeling technique was first developed after several months of joint research by many powerful practitioners in the Federation. However, it only took Lu Yu ten minutes to write this Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, which was 100 times more complicated…

The 100x Power of Understanding wasn’t simply a hundred times that of average people. After reaching a higher level, every increase in level was a qualitative difference. Even the understanding abilities of ten thousand people couldn’t compare to the current Lu Yu’s!

Lu Yu was well aware of the power of this Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill to drastically turn his fortune around. He hurriedly started practicing this technique.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Lu Yu sat cross-legged in meditation as he channeled the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill to refine the Barbaric Blood Ox meat and Wild Mountain Ginseng he ate today.

At this moment, Lu Yu had absorbed a large amount of the spiritual energy from the Barbaric Blood Ox meat and Wild Mountain Ginseng that ordinary people couldn’t extract.

With the combined mysterious power of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and Lu Yu’s sudden enlightenment, his skills evolution speed was incomparably fast.

Not long after, as Lu Yu’s strength increased step by step, his Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill also began to rise in tandem.

The Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill was an extremely profound skill evolution method that Lu Yu had created to suit his own circumstances. It was not just simply absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from his digestive tract.

......

The Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill was a type of inner strength skill. The effect of this inner strength skill was to multiply the power and increase the level of external skills!

Before this, Lu Yu’s skill evolution had already fallen to Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1. He was practically an ordinary person.

In this short period of time, Lu Yu had successfully broken through the level of Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1. The multiplication factor of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill had reached 2.

This meant that when Lu Yu used the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, his strength was twice that of an ordinary Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1!

Moments later, Lu Yu’s strength rapidly rose.

Martial Arts Warrior Grade 2, the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill multiplication factor 4.

Martial Arts Warrior Grade 3, the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill multiplication factor 6.

Martial Arts Warrior Grade 4, the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill multiplication factor 8.

…

Lu Yu’s skill evolution continued to rise rapidly.

He didn’t stop practicing until late at night.

Within half a night, Lu Yu had already risen all the way to the Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6. The multiplication factor of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill had reached 12!

In the past, he had worked hard for several decades before he could reach the Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6, but now, Lu Yu had reached the same level within half a night.

Compared to the regular Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6 expert, Lu Yu, who was also at the same level but possessed the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, his powers were on a completely different level.

Martial Art Warriors’ strength was divided into 9 grades from 1 to 9. Above the 9th grade was considered the pinnacle.

Unfortunately, with the attainment of every 3 grades, there would be a small bottleneck.

Lu Yu now had an SSS-class Gluttony Talent, so he didn’t experience any bottlenecks at all. The reason he stopped at Grade 6 was because he had completely absorbed all of the spiritual energy from the Barbaric Blood Ox meat and Wild Mountain Ginseng and couldn’t practice any further.

After experimenting with the power of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill, he spent a night practicing and evolving his skills at lightning speed. Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Lu Yu was extremely satisfied.

Although he had transmigrated to become a 90-year-old man, his strength was incredible. It was no exaggeration to describe him as a demon!

He then looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was still white, but most of the wrinkles on his face had disappeared. His eyes were bright and full of vigor. He was very much hale and hearty despite his age!

Next, Lu Yu took out the manual of Martial Art Warrior’s foundational skill ‘Foundation Punching Technique’. With his 100x Power of Understanding, Lu Yu was able to discern the many problems of the Crushing Punch with a single glance.

And among them, the most obvious problem was that the explosive power was too small and too slow, unable to fully unleash a Martial Arts Warrior’s true strength!

Lu Yu picked up a pen and wrote ‘Crushing Punch’ on a piece of paper.

In less than ten minutes, the manual of ‘Crushing Punch’ was completed.

Unlike basic punching techniques, which could only unleash at most half the strength of the upper body, Crushing Punch could concentrate all the strength in the body at one point and unleash it in an explosive flash.

Whether it was the speed of the punches or the explosive power, they were all raised by several levels!

At this moment, the sky outside the window had turned orange. The sun was rising, and a new day had arrived.

Lu Yu hadn’t slept the entire night, but he didn’t seem the least bit tired. Instead, he was in high spirits and his appearance had changed completely.

In a single night, from a level that was below Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1, Lu Yu had risen to Martial Arts Warrior Grade 6.

With the combined skills of the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and the Crushing Punch, Lu Yu’s current strength was unbelievably terrifying.

Lu Yu wanted to test his current strength, so he went downstairs.

Downstairs in the middle of the neighborhood open space, there was a simple outdoor gym.

In the middle of this gym, there was a strength testing device for public use.

It looked like a slab of rock as tall as two people. There was a monitoring device next to it.

After hitting out with one’s full strength, it would indicate the power of the punch and show the user’s strength.

This Strength Testing Tool was only meant for testing basic levels. Its color was the most mundane gray, and its upper limit was 10,000 kilograms of force.

A normal adult’s punch strength was only about 10 kilograms.

After becoming a warrior, one could reach 100 kilograms of punching force.

From Grade 1 to Grade 3, one would be considered a beginner Warrior, with a punch strength of 101 to 500 kilograms.

Grade 4 to Grade 6 were intermediate Warriors, with a punch strength of around 501 to 1000 kilograms.

As for high-level Warriors from Grade 7 to 9, or even higher-level Martial Masters…

It was impossible for such Warriors to show up in such a dilapidated and old neighborhood.

Such powerful skill practitioners did not have to live in such conditions.

Stopping in front of the testing stone, Lu Yu channeled his energy into his dantian. With the convergence of the energy in his legs and body, he activated his Crushing Punch.

The punch was simple and not flashy, but it was extremely fast. It gathered all the strength in his body into one point and exploded instantly in a lightning strike on the Testing Stone.

The huge testing stone trembled for a while before returning to normal.

The monitoring device beside it displayed: 1,000 kilograms!

When he saw this, Lu Yu felt very satisfied. He had verified that he was indeed a Grade 6 Martial Arts Warrior and that he had already reached the peak. With a little bit of practice, he could advance to Grade 7.

Following this, Lu Yu once again channeled the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill.

The Level 6 Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill brought about a terrifying twelve-fold enhancement!

Another Crushing Punch flew out. It was just as simple and unflashy, but was extremely fast like before.

The moment the punch landed on the testing stone, the huge testing stone trembled violently, and emitted smoke from the top.

Following which, the testing stone couldn’t take it anymore and shattered into pieces.

The monitoring device next to it displayed: 12,000 kilograms!

A punch with a force of 12,000 kilograms!

How terrifying it was that a middle-level Martial Arts Warrior could unleash an explosive strength close to that of a middle-level Martial Master!

When Lu Yu saw this ridiculous number, he was tremendously satisfied.

This SSS-class talent certainly exceeded all expectations. He had only eaten 7 to 8 catties of Barbaric Blood Ox meat, a piece of Wild Mountain Ginseng, and with the 100x Power of Understanding ability to accelerate his skills evolution, he had achieved so much progress overnight.

In a single night, Lu Yu’s skills evolution had almost recovered to the level of his previous peak in his youth.

As for strength, it far surpassed the peak. In fact, it surpassed by a lot.

The tough training, life and death battles of the past few decades could not compare to what he had achieved in this one night of skills evolution.

When Lu Yu compared the two situations, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Right now, Lu Yu understood that this was only the beginning.

The SSS-class Gluttony Talent, the 100x Power of Understanding, and the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill. All these three powers had yet to be fully developed!
