Chapter 8, Training of the Elite Group

As Lu Chen gazed at the totem, feeling its power, the young individuals who had arrived earlier had already scattered throughout the area, each engaging in their own physical training

Meanwhile, during the training of those young individuals, there was also a group of slightly smaller and leaner young barbarians nearby, watching with envy.

However, the group of young people did not leave; instead, they gathered together and headed towards the center of the village

Some practice the Mánniú Fist, while others practice archery

It can be said that hot soup has numerous benefits; however, the more benefits it has, the less likely others are to give it up

Achen, are you feeling better? I heard that you were possessed by an evil spirit during your tour. Are you alright

Moreover, the energy contained in hot soup is even higher than that of meat. A large bowl of hot soup is equivalent to a whole deer leg, providing ample energy that can also enhance my cultivation speed

To obtain better resources and better treatment, one must duel; the victor is deemed correct. This is the way of survival for those living in the perilous wilderness.

It is not that he does not want to follow the training, but rather that his body is severely depleted. A piece of deer leg from Dazhuang's family allowed Lu Chen to survive, and the hot soup from the Wuzhu family merely provided Lu Chen with a momentary respite. To fully recover, he would need at least two to three more days.

Some people also ran over to Xiao Shi's side

However, what made Lu Chen feel somewhat regretful was that the feeling of nourishment disappeared completely in just half an hour

It has improved a lot, Tie Dun, how did you come here

In the battle three days from now, I must achieve victory

Although it is not possible to train for twenty-four hours a day, it is still quite easy to increase the training speed by three to four times

Turning his head, Lu Chen saw the fierce fighting spirit in the eyes of others, and he understood that the battle three days later would not be easy

However, those young individuals are not without opportunities. Although their physiques may not be particularly strong, if they possess good combat talent, they have the chance to defeat the battle-hardened young barbarians despite their weaker stature, and they could potentially take their place.

They are certainly at ease; the cylindrical object before them is indeed somewhat extraordinary, but they have no reason to fear, for this is a totem, the totem that protects the Barbarian Bull Village

... ...

This also makes it extremely difficult for those young people to catch up, but the resources available to the village are limited and cannot possibly supply everyone. Indeed, wherever one may be, contradictions are always present.

There is no way, that kind of hot soup can indeed widen the gap between people

Victory is both justice and righteousness

The threats and persecution that would prevent Lu Chen from fighting at full strength three days later did not even enter the minds of this group of people

"Defeating me? With just you? This time, I will defeat all of you and show the Master Shaman my strength"

This time, I will definitely overcome you

At this time, it is not that those young people do not wish to train, but rather that every morning, before dawn, these young individuals, along with Xiao Shi and others, gather together for collective training conducted by the village chief and the captain of the guard

If I were you, I would withdraw immediately; after three days, I will show no mercy

However, the young people moving forward, gazing at the totem pole, displayed no trace of worry on their faces; instead, they revealed a sense of inner peace.

After receiving the approval of the shaman, many young people rushed to Lu Chen, provoking him.

Although the barbarians are somewhat simple-minded, they are also engaged in the competition for resources

On the tall cylindrical structure, there are numerous blood-red patterns

It seemed as if a roar had erupted, resonating throughout Lu Chen's mind

Three days later, after Lu Chen has recovered, those who are dissatisfied with the treatment he received may challenge him, and the victor will receive even better treatment

The people here are still somewhat simple-minded. In the real world, aside from the college entrance examination, in other competitions, if one can leave one-third of the spots before each competition for those not predetermined, it can be considered a matter of conscience.

Alas, I did not expect that during the day, the malevolent spirits would appear. By the end of this year, we will have to transition to the night, which is the peak time for these spirits. What should we do?

If hot soup is supplied without limit, I can continuously exercise my body. When I feel fatigued and can no longer persist, I can rely on the hot soup to recover, and then after half an hour, I can continue exercising

Come and see you

At the same time, the souls of the ancestors of Manniu Village also reside within it

No one wants to engage in any troublesome activities before the challenge

To this, Lu Chen could only say

In just half an hour, the hot soup was completely digested. This duration is somewhat short, but it also indicates the significant role of the hot soup. The dissipation of heat within half an hour suggests that it is digested very quickly

As he watched the excitement of the young men in the room, Lu Chen felt the warm soup nourishing his body from within

Provocative words echoed continuously in the room, but what struck Lu Chen with emotion was that the young people here were actually prepared to follow the rules

Even if one reluctantly keeps up with the young people in the field, the situation will not be pleasant. After all, physical fatigue signifies that the body needs rest; forcing oneself to train will only leave scars on the body

Even if someone comes to provoke Lu Chen, they still speak of defeating him in three days

The upright cylinder, the intimidating pressure, and the blood-red patterns all make the cylinder appear formidable

After all, only strength can enable the village to thrive and endure

These are the barbarians living in the wilderness, ultimately, they are the most reliable support

The plateau, no, the bloodline of the barbarian kings is indeed powerful, but alongside its strength, the consumption of vital essence is also excessive

The envious gazes of the surrounding young barbarians made Lu Chen realize that in the world of barbarians, only by demonstrating sufficient strength can one gain respect and access to cultivation resources; here, there is no possibility of pretending to be weak while hiding one's true power

I also need hot soup for my training

Thoughts swirled in his mind, yet Lu Chen lay beneath a tree surrounding the square, watching others train without making the slightest move to rise.

Lu Chen was deep in thought, while soon, all the young men in the room had consumed the medicinal soup.

That is an ultra-intensive training session lasting up to three hours. Under such intensity, the young barbarians who have undergone the training are completely exhausted and cannot continue with the training.

Lucky fellow, in three days, I will challenge you

Those young individuals, who are also from the village, were somewhat weaker at the beginning compared to the youths who are currently in training, and this weakness has persisted ever since.

Lu Chen sighed, and at that moment, a somewhat foolish figure approached him.

It can be said that the square in front of the totem is the safest place in the village

This is the customs and practices among the barbarians, and just now, the shaman has already agreed to allow the other youths to act according to these customs

In the center of the village, there is a square that is spacious yet devoid of any buildings, with only a seven-meter-long column standing in the middle

Just by looking at that pillar, Lu Chen felt an overwhelming sense of pressure

At the same time, in this duel, the esteemed shaman has slightly expanded the scope, allowing the young man in the room not only to challenge Lu Chen but also to challenge Xiao Shi and Jian

and cannot be replaced, naturally can only spend a lifetime watching others grow stronger, the barbarian has never been friendly to the weak

However, in response to this, Lu Chen not only showed no fear, but there was also a look of eagerness on his face

The hot soup doubled the training time for the young man in the shaman's room
