Everyone in the stronghold erupted in panic.

“A Rock Dragon! We’re doomed!”

“Another rampaging dragon attack? We’ve already lost over ten strongholds to them!”

“The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce won’t help us! They control the city, it’s their responsibility to save us!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! The Chamber of Commerce has lost more than ten teams already. They’ve given up on the dragons!”

Just then, Lu Yu stepped forward. “Everyone, calm down. I’m here to help.”

Disbelief washed over the soldiers. “Are you serious? Sent by the Chamber of Commerce? That’s impossible! They’re practically throwing in the towel!”

Lu Yu shook his head. “No, I’m with the hunting team, not the Chamber. We’re obligated to assist you this time.”

“The hunting team? But you’re alone! What about backup?” someone asked curiously.

Lu Yu offered a casual shrug. “I alone am enough. Actually, I’m here to gather some information. Have any of you from the city recently approached the dragons or their cave?”

The leader of the stronghold emerged. “No, sir. Everyone’s been too scared to investigate lately. Nobody from our side has been near them.”

Lu Yu nodded. “Good. Stay put. I’ll handle the Rock Dragon.”

With that, the dragon wings on his back unfurled with a double flap, propelling him into the air. He soared towards the distant dragon.

The soldiers watched in stunned awe. “He can fly! He’s superhuman! Definitely not some ordinary guy!”

“Nonsense! No ordinary person would survive a fall like that! He might just be our savior!”

“Hopefully this ends our troubles after a good fight.”

“We scouted the Rock Dragon before. It’s a tough opponent. This battle could take a while.”

But their worries were unfounded. Lu Yu reached the Rock Dragon in a heartbeat.

The dragon continued its mindless charge, oblivious to Lu Yu hovering above.

“Hmm, that’s an unusual speed for a Rock Dragon,” Lu Yu observed. “Seems its enraged state has boosted its movement.”

He drew his Star Piercing Demonic Sword, its blade gleaming coldly. With a swift thrust, he unleashed the Star Piercing Spike skill. A concentrated surge of sword energy shot down at the Rock Dragon.

Swoosh! Boom!

The attack pierced the dragon’s armor like butter, embedding itself deep in its flesh. Blood erupted from the wound, spraying like a crimson geyser.

Lu Yu sheathed his sword, the battle over far too quickly. It presented no challenge at all.

He continued his flight, heading towards the other dragons.

In the stronghold, the watchtower guards spotted the scene in the distance and erupted in excited shouts.

“Holy moly! That guy took down the Rock Dragon in one hit! Like it was nothing!”

“Seriously? An instant kill? That’s a massive power gap!”

“Are you pulling our legs? Only a god could do that!”

Disbelief echoed through the ranks below. They couldn’t fathom what the watchtower guard had relayed.

“I’m telling the truth! He really did it! The hunting team actually sent such a powerhouse. Could it be the director himself?”

“Whoa there, that’s a stretch. This situation wouldn’t warrant bringing in the old man.”

The chatter continued as Lu Yu patrolled the skies. These enraged dragons were easy to spot. He swept through the area, eliminating over ten dragons in quick succession.

“There are just so many,” he muttered. “If these things targeted Black Gold City head-on, the city walls wouldn’t stand a chance.”

With the immediate threat neutralized, Lu Yu decided to return. There was no point in wasting time here tonight. He planned to deal with the cave situation tomorrow.

The reason? He simply didn’t want to pull an all-nighter. Besides, going too fast could create an endless workload. Lu Yu preferred to return and get some rest. That way, the people of Black Gold City would still be indebted to him.

He made a swift return to Black Gold City, heading straight for Zhang Kai’s office. He slowed his wing flaps, allowing for a smooth landing inside.

Inside the office, two steaming bowls of noodles sat on the desk. Zhang Kai and Zhao Qingya were happily digging in.

Upon Lu Yu’s entrance, Zhang Kai scrambled to his feet. “Didn’t find them?” he blurted out anxiously.

“Problem solved,” Lu Yu declared. “All the rampaging dragons in the vicinity are dealt with.”

“All of them? There were over ten!”

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “Indeed, all gone. Now, get me some dinner. I’m famished.”

“Absolutely! Whatever delicacy you crave, just name it! I’ll get it for you!”

Lu Yu stroked his chin, pondering for a moment. “Honestly, I’m in the mood for something light. Just whip up another bowl of noodles.”

“Noodles work perfectly! Consider it done!” Zhang Kai exclaimed excitedly, then turned and hurried towards the kitchen.

Lu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze falling on Zhao Qingya.

“Didn’t expect you to finish the whole task so quickly. You’re remarkably efficient,” she remarked, a hint of amusement in her voice. “That’s the power disparity in action, I suppose.”

“Speaking of which,” she continued, “what’s the situation inside the cave?”

Lu Yu shook his head. “Didn’t go in.”

“What? Did you encounter some danger? Or a powerful foe blocking your entry?”

“Just not interested in going in today.”

“But… why? That’s where the root of the problem lies. Solving it requires going in.”

“You’re hesitant to enter. Are you afraid of getting trapped? Or is there another reason?”

Lu Yu simply shook his head again. “Just came back for dinner. I’ll handle it tomorrow.”

“Alright, tomorrow works too.”

“The most important thing isn’t necessarily dinner,” he clarified, “but controlling the situation myself. How this gets resolved is up to me.”

Zhao Qingya nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your hunting team duties. You have complete freedom.”
