Chapter 168: Chapter 99: The World Has Changed! Sword Pointed at the Position of Military Governor

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Lu Yun. They had never doubted him their entire lives. But this was simply too incredible to believe.

Just then, Lu Fu stepped forward and bowed. "Master, let me be the first."

Lu Yun looked at him, a flash of approval in his eyes. "Go on."

Lu Fu walked up, picked a piece of Immortal Flesh from the silk cloth, and placed it in his mouth without hesitation, swallowing it quickly.

In less than a second, Lu Fu’s entire body shuddered violently, as if he had received an Immortal’s empowerment. A sudden breeze erupted from around him!

Immediately after, Lu Fu’s face flushed beet red—the kind of red that only appears when one’s qi and blood are circulating at their absolute peak. The flush spread from his neck all the way to his forehead, and even his ears glowed crimson.

The light in his eyes was astonishingly bright, like two precious gems just polished clean of dust!

’What is this!’ Lu Fu’s mind reeled. ’It’s power... such immense power!’

The hot current erupting from his stomach was surging wildly along his meridians, rushing to every corner of his body.

Lu Fu could now clearly feel the Late-stage Anjin bottleneck that had trapped him for five years beginning to crumble under the assault of that hot current!

Then, without any suspense, the Late-stage Anjin bottleneck shattered. A five-year-long bottleneck, broken so easily in just a few minutes.

Lu Fu had broken through from a Mid-stage Anjin Martial Artist to Late-stage Anjin. He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

They were still the same hands—rough and calloused, marked by decades of martial arts training. But Lu Fu could feel that the power they contained was more than double what it had been just a few minutes ago.

The very first thing he did after suppressing the surging qi and blood was to drop to his knees with a THUD.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lu Fu was incredibly excited. He could feel that the power from the Immortal Flesh had not yet been fully depleted; there was enough left to solidify his newly attained Realm.

Lu Jingjun and Lu Jingwu had witnessed Lu Fu’s transformation from start to finish.

Their eyes were wide, their mouths slightly agape, their expressions shifting from shock to disbelief, and finally to a near-fanatical craving.

Lu Jingwu was the first to give in. He rushed forward, snatched a piece of Immortal Flesh from the silk cloth, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowing it down.

The next moment, Lu Jingwu’s face instantly flushed beet red!

He couldn’t help but shout, "AH! Eldest Uncle! I feel like my whole body is overflowing with power!"

The Peak of Mingjin bottleneck that had troubled Lu Jingwu for so long was instantly shattered by the torrent of power!

Early-stage Anjin! He had broken through! And that miraculous, hot current of power was still there, continuously nourishing his physical body.

Seeing this, how could Lu Jingjun possibly hold back? He stepped forward and snatched the last piece of Immortal Flesh.

Then, the aura around Lu Jingjun also began to skyrocket at a visible rate!

After breaking through to Mid-stage Anjin, Lu Jingjun slowly opened his eyes and stared at his trembling hands—not with fear, but with an excitement he simply couldn’t suppress.

He raised his head to look at Lu Yun, voicing the question on both Lu Jingwu’s and Lu Fu’s minds. "Father! Is there any more of this magical flesh? Where did you find it?"

The feeling of breaking through was just too incredible. No need for talent, no need for painstaking training day and night, no need to endure the agony of a bottleneck, no need to rely on some illusory stroke of luck.

Just by eating something, you could gain power. That feeling was better than anything.

Immortal Flesh? An Outer Celestial Demon? And eating it came with risks?

Lu Jingjun and the other two smiled at the thought. Fear? That was completely out of the question!

In this dog-eat-dog, chaotic world, power was everything.

You either die on your feet or live on your knees, only to be butchered like livestock.

Anyone with a shred of backbone would choose to eat the Immortal Flesh and seize control of their own destiny.

Lu Yun looked at the three men before him and said calmly, "The three of you, prepare yourselves."

"The world has already descended into chaos. When the time comes, I will personally hold the line in Yun Port City. All the forces here will aid us in our search for more Immortal Flesh."

"Oh, and Ah Fu, go and summon the people from Yun Port City’s major newspapers."

"I need to root out those two treacherous bastards."

With the words that the President—oh no, he should be called the Emperor now—had already put out at the banquet,

Lu Yun now had a perfectly legitimate claim to the position of Governor of Yun Port City.

No matter how many other candidates there were, and no matter how much the current, yet-to-abdicate Military Governor struggled, he would not be polite with them.

’The position of Governor of Yun Port City is as good as mine.’
