8 Elite Group’s Training

Victory was the best way to speak.

This was the ultimate rule and tradition of the barbarians, and seconds ago, Wuzu, had given the other youngsters opportunity to act according to the tradition.

Which meant that once Lu Chen recovered three days later, anyone who was dissatisfied with the treatment Lu Chen was given will be allowed to challenge him, and the one who triumphed would receive Lu Chen’s treatment instead.

At the same time, the battle was expanded slightly by Wuzu; every youngster in the room was given permission to challenge not only Lu Chen, but also Xiao Shi and Jian.

Therefore, in order to obtain better resources and generous treatment, they would have to secure them for themselves. Whoever triumphed over the opponent would be the one in charge, such was the way of survival of these barbarians living in the wilderness fraught with danger.

After all, only by being stronger would they be able to protect the village and ensure its survival.

Upon receiving permission from Wuzu, many of the young elites ran towards Lu Chen and taunted him right away.

“Lucky boy, I will be challenging you after three days!”

“If I were you, I would leave right now, know that I won’t go easy on you!”

There were also some that ran towards Xiao Shi, “This time, I will beat you for sure!”

“Beat me? You? This time, I will defeat every single one of you and show Wuzu my real strength!”

….

Challenges were delivered continuously in the room, but what touched Lu Chen the most was that every single one of them acted according to the rules.

Even if they were challenging him, they were all talking about dueling him in three days.

None of them were thinking about doing something fishy before the challenge began.

Thoughts of any underhanded methods such as threatening, harming, or plotting to hurt Lu Chen’s chances never even crossed the minds of these guys.

To this, Lu Chen could only say, These guys are really simple and naive. Back on Earth, apart from the National College Entrance Examination, in every other competition, some of the positions are already booked by certain people through power and connections.

While staring at the excitement coming from the young people in the room, Lu Chen carefully dwelled on the feeling of the warm soup nourishing his body.

In less than half an hour, the herbal soup was digested entirely. The duration was a little too short but it also showed just how important it is. The fact that the warmth dispersed quickly means that it is easily digested.

So if there is an unlimited supply of herbal soup, I can keep on training my body, when I am at my limit, all I have to do is recover myself through consuming the soup and half an hour later, I can continue the vigorous training again.

Though I still wouldn’t be able to train myself 24 hours a day, I am able to speed up my training progress by more than 3 times.

Also, the nourishment from the herbal soup is even higher than meat. A huge bowl of herbal soup is equivalent to the nutrition of an entire deer leg. Sufficient energy will also speed up my training.

This also meant that there were a lot of benefits from drinking the herbal soup, and that made it impossible for the others to give up on it willingly.

He turned around and looked at the fighting spirit in their eyes. He knew immediately that the fight coming in three days would not be easy.

But instead of fearing and dreading the fight, Lu Chen was just as excited as the others, if not more.

I need the herbal soup to train as well! Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

While Lu Chen was thinking, the young men in the room all consumed their portions of herbal soup.

But after consuming their herbal soup, the young elites did not leave, instead, they gathered up and headed towards the center of the village.

Right at the center was a plaza, one devoid of any buildings. There was only a pillar that stood seven meters high from the ground.

On the surface of this tall pillar were a huge amount of blood-red totem patterns.

Just by looking at the pillar alone, Lu Chen felt a very pressuring aura.

There were even seemingly angry roars that sounded in his mind as he looked at it!

The tall pillar, the pressuring aura, and the blood-red patterns, all of these made the pillar seem especially ominous.

Yet, no worry could be seen on the faces of these young elites as they approached the plaza. Instead, it felt like there was something from the pillar that was comforting them.

This was as it should be; even if the pillar looked dangerous, they were not afraid at all, for this was the totem, the one that protected the Wild Bull Village.

At the same time, the souls of the deceased ancestors resided within the pillar.

This was the final and most reliable asset of the barbarians living in the dangerous Wilderness.

In other words, this plaza where the pillar stood was the safest place in the village.

While Lu Chen was still staring right into this pillar, feeling the power for himself, the other youngsters who arrived earlier had already scattered out for their very own training.

Some practiced the Wild Bull Fist, the others dwelled on archery.

While the youngsters were training, there was another batch of younger barbarians that were watching in envy.

These guys were also part of the village but compared to those that were training right now, they were a little behind since the beginning.

It couldn’t be helped, the warm herbal soup was capable of making a huge difference.

Right now, it was not because they did not want to train, but every morning before daybreak, these guys, alongside Xiao Shi and the others, would gather up and undergo vigorous training under the guidance of the chieftain and guard captain.

The training sessions were a three-hour-long ordeal, under such intensity, the young men would all be in pain, their bodies would be aching everywhere that they wouldn’t be able to continue training anymore.

If they forcefully pushed themselves to train any further, the situation would not improve at all, after all, the soreness in their body signaled that they needed rest badly, any forceful training would only result in permanent damage to the body.

The herbal soup extended the training time of the young elites in Wuzu’s room by two times.

That makes it almost impossible for the others who do not have the herbal soup to keep up. There is a limited supply of the herbal soup so distributing it to everyone is not possible. Just as I thought, there will always be conflict no matter where and when.

These guys are simple and plain in mind, but there is still competition for resources.

However, this does not mean that there is absolutely no chance for the weak, they may be weaker in every sense of the word, but if they possess extraordinary talent in fighting, they might triumph over the stronger ones even with their weaker bodies.

Failure to overtake the stronger ones would result in a situation where they could only look up to the strong forever and watch as they continued to pull further away. To the weak, friendships had always been a luxury.

Which is why I must win no matter what!

The envious gaze from the other barbarians made Lu Chen understand one thing, which was that only with superior power could he gain respect and resources. In this place, the only one holding the stick would be the victor.

While he was still figuring things out, he found a shade under a tree near the plaza. He lay down on the ground and watched as the others continued their training.

It was not that he was too lazy to train himself, but he was too weak for that right now; the deer leg from Da Zhuang helped him survive, the herbal soup from Wu Zu, on the other hand, helped him recover his breath. But in order to recover entirely, he would need a few more days.

The Highlander, no, the Barbarian King’s Bloodline is powerful, but at the same time, it consumes too much essence from my body.

Just when Lu Chen was moaning in his heart, a silly-looking boy came running toward Lu Chen.

“Ah’Chen, is your body better? I heard you were possessed by a spirit during your patrol duty? Are you alright?”

“I’m much better now. Tie Dun, why are you here?”

“To see you.”

“Sigh, I didn’t know the Evils are coming out even in the day now. At the end of this year, we will be changing to the night shift. And the night is the time of the Evils, what should we do then?”
