Chapter 6 (2/2)
To be able to become a martial art cultivator in five to six days, Lu Yu was considered as a good seedling.
Although he had used two more days than the eldest young master, Lu Yu’s talent was not bad. If he was properly groomed, he might be able to gain another squire for the Han clan.
“Let’s continue!”
Lu Yu was still thinking that he would be punished or not after he beaten up his opponent too harshly. Butler Zhang ordered everyone to continue the sparring.
There were only 21 people left. Lu Yu got a bye in this round. The rest of the people heaved a sigh of relief. They felt much more relaxed now that they did not have to face Lu Yu.
Previously, they didn’t really care if they had to face Lu Yu. Now, they only had one thought, “Don’t pick me to fight Lu Yu.”
With 20 people sparring, 10 winners would be decided.
Among the 10 winners, Yang Xiu randomly picked one person to be Lu Yu’s opponent. The person who was chosen had a terrified expression on his face. He walked in front of Lu Yu and whispered, “Brother, please be gentle!”
After saying that, he did not make any small movements. After exchanging a few punches with Lu Yu, he was directly knocked down on the ground and admitted defeat.
After throwing a few punches, Lu Yu had roughly grasped his own strength. He punched his opponent with only 30% of his strength, and that person was beaten into a bending shrimp, lying on the ground, and surrendered.
The tall man clenched his fists tightly and roared in his heart, “Don’t think that just because they are afraid of you, I will be afraid of you!”
The sparring continued, and finally, only the tall man and Lu Yu were left.
The two of them carried out the final battle.
Although Lu Yu was sure to win in the eyes of Butler Zhang and Yang Xiu, Butler Zhang was also a little interested in the tall man.
“This Wang Can, his aptitude is still passable. If he cultivates for another half a month, he’ll definitely break through from the mortal realm and become a martial art cultivator. Take care of him.” Butler Zhang instructed.
“Yes.” Yang Xiu replied casually. He had long forgotten who this Wang Can was. However, since Butler Zhang had said so, he would have to pay more attention to him.
Lu Yu used 30% of his strength to fight against Wang Can. Wang Can could barely hold on and fought back and forth with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu couldn’t defeat Wang Can immediately. Even though he had cultivated through AFK and could easily execute the Fierce Tiger Fist, he couldn’t control his own strength properly because he hadn’t fought someone before. He couldn’t employ the fist technique easily on his own.
It was just like how an ordinary person could lift a heavy dumbbell with force and could also lightly pinch a tender and smooth tofu without breaking the tofu.
Lu Yu’s strength had increased a lot in a short period of time, and he did not control his strength. As a result, he used the strength to hold the dumbbell when he was holding the tofu. Of course, the tofu would be broken.
So, Lu Yu suppressed his strength and only used 30% of his strength to fight with Wang Can. Lu Yu realized that his control over his strength was improving rapidly. However, he had to be careful. He could not use too much strength and break the “tofu”.
As Lu Yu became better at controlling his strength, Wang Can became more and more sullen as he fought. He felt like he was being suppressed by Lu Yu.
“Ah!” Wang Can let out a furious roar. He no longer cared about the fist techniques and quickly punched like a madman. Lu Yu easily blocked every punch with his palm. He felt that it was easier to practice his control over his strength this way.
“Ha!” Wang Can punched out heavily. He felt hot air rising in his body as if he had broken some shackles. His body became much more relaxed, and his strength increased.
Yang Xiu squinted his eyes and was a little surprised. Butler Zhang was also surprised. “A breakthrough during the battle? In less than ten days, Wang Can will definitely break through from the mortal realm and become a martial art cultivator. Take good care of him.”
“Yes!” Yang Xiu replied. This time, he paid a little more attention to him.
Wang Can felt that he had made a breakthrough and felt very happy in his heart. He thought that he would definitely defeat Lu Yu.
Just as Wang Can was preparing to crush Lu Yu after he broke through, Lu Yu felt that he had almost mastered his strength. He “gently” grabbed Wang Can’s fist that was coming towards him.
He felt that the strength of his fist had become a little stronger and he used a little more strength.
He took a step forward and grabbed Wang Can’s belt with one hand while the other hand grabbed Wang Can’s fist. He swung Wang Can in a circle and smashed him onto the ground.
Wang Can spat out a huge mouthful of air. The air in his lungs was blown out, and his mind went blank.
He had clearly broken through, but why did he still lose?
Without the referee counting down, Butler Zhang walked towards Lu Yu with a box in his hand. He smiled and said, “Lu Yu, this body tempering pill is yours.”
“You have already broken through from the mortal realm and become a martial art cultivator. You can move to the outer court from now on” Butler Zhang said to Lu Yu in a friendly tone.
“Men, bring Lu Yu to the outer court to choose his residence. Remember, pick a better place for him!” Butler Zhang said sternly to that person.
That person nodded repeatedly, not daring to go against him.
Other than Master Han, Butler Zhang was the highest person in the entire Han Residence. Sometimes, the young miss had to listen to Butler Zhang. It was said that Butler Zhang was already the butler of the Han Residence when Old Master Han’s father was still alive.

“Thank you for your good intentions, Butler Zhang. I will definitely go through fire and water for the Han family!” Lu Yu said a few words to express his loyalty at the appropriate time, which greatly increased Butler Zhang’s favorability towards him.
Butler Zhang nodded in satisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he said, “How about this? With your strength, you will definitely get first place in the sparring in the future. So, you can just go to the logistics department to receive body tempering pills. You don’t have to participate in the sparring with other rookies.”
“However, you can’t be arrogant and complacent. It’s also beneficial to practice with the other courtyard guards. You will get the reward for winning the sparring. Also, your body tempering pills will be deducted from my monthly salary.”
Seeing the surprise on Lu Yu’s face, Butler Zhang reminded him, “Remember, you can only get body tempering pills from the logistics department in this month. If you want more pills in the future, you have to contribute to the Han family.”
Hearing that Lu Yu could get a body tempering pill every day this month, many of the surrounding courtyard guards looked envious..
