Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 1: SSS-class Talent: Gluttony!

The moon was bright and the stars sparse.

In an attic of an old building,
Lu Yu looked at himself in the mirror.
Looking at his old haggard face and aged white hair, his face had a blank expression.

Just then, Lu Yu had woken up and discovered that he had transmigrated.

He had originally thought that it would be a good thing.
After transmigrating, he would reach the peak of his life and marry a fair, rich, and beautiful woman.

However, upon closer inspection, how did an eighteen-year-old youth who was living in the best time of his life transmigrate into a hoary old man?
5
All of a sudden, Lu Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
The pain was so excruciating that it made his whole body tremble.

After a long while, the pain slowly faded away and a new memory appeared in Lu Yu’s mind.
It was the original memory of this old man, also known as Lu Yu.

This world was called the Blue Star Continent, which was somewhat similar to Lu Yu’s original world.

However, a hundred years ago, due to the awakening of spiritual energy, many subterranean caverns appeared one after another, and they emanated abundant spiritual energy.

Everyone could absorb it and practice to evolve their skills.
A very small number of people could even awaken their respective talents and they discovered that they possess magical and powerful abilities.
1
Even if they didn’t practice, simply breathing in the spiritual energy could allow them to gradually strengthen their bodies.
2
However, soon after this, disaster struck.

All sorts of terrifying beasts rushed out in great abundance from the subterranean caverns and hunted down humans relentlessly.

In front of such big and powerful beasts, humans seemed so tiny.
1
In the first year of the appearance of the Fearsome Beasts, the human population was sharply reduced by more than half.
There were heavy casualties.
3
As time went by, humans slowly evolved their skills and grew stronger.
They gradually gained the ability to fight against the Fearsome Beasts and could finally survive albeit with much difficulty.

70 years ago, when that great war erupted, the humans mobilized all the martial arts practitioners and launched a great decisive battle against the Fearsome Beasts.

That battle lasted for an entire year.
It was a very bitter fight for survival.
Countless humans and Fearsome Beasts died.
Blood flowed like rivers and corpses covered the mountains and plains.
It was an extremely tragic sight that was beyond words.
2
Fortunately, although the battle was arduous, humans emerged victorious in the end.

Having won the land of survival, they had also won for themselves 70 years of peace!

This great battle was thereafter known in history as the Holy War!
2
At that time, he was 20 years old, and he was one of the victorious survivors!

From what Lu Yu could understand, his predecessor had average talent.
At his peak, he had reached Martial Arts Warrior Grade 9 and was only one step away from becoming a distinguished Martial Master.

But he had not been able to successfully breakthrough to this final step for several decades.
2
As he grew older, his evolution level did not improve but declined and he had no hope of entering the realm of a Martial Master.

Until now, when he was 90 years old, he did not have any good fortune.
He led an ordinary life, had someone whom he loved, and together they had a son and a daughter.

Looking at the old haggard face in the mirror, Lu Yu sighed with resignation.
1
If he could become a Martial Master, he would have a lifespan of 200 years.
He would still be considered as being in his prime at 90 years old.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed in attaining that step.
Now that he was 90 years old, he was already old and feeble.
His health vitality had regressed severely, and his evolution level had dropped from Martial Arts Warrior Grade 9 to Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1 now.

The annual Federation Martial Arts Trial would begin in 3 days.
3
The Trial was broadly divided into two aspects.
One was the skills evolution condition of the Martial Arts, and the other was the awakening of innate talent.

However, most of the participants were just martial arts practitioners.
Less than one in ten thousand would be able to awaken their innate talents successfully.
Such abilities were extremely rare and were out of reach of most mortals.

During the Trial, successful participants were promoted while others were eliminated.
Some rejoice while others lament their loss.

Young people all hoped t
