The Great Wild God - Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Bloody Trial
Hearing Wu Gong Zong Tu’s words, Nan Liao and the others took a deep breath. Although the competition for the recommendation spot every three years in the past was extremely cruel, it was far from revealing any killing intent this time. They felt a chill run down their spines when they looked down on life and death.

In order to ensure the recommendation quota, or perhaps to protect the core disciples from entering the Azure Water School, the tribes would send as many outstanding disciples as possible, but the more they sent, the more casualties they would suffer along the way.

Moreover, the ones who lost were all the future core elites of the tribe …

“Ge Yi said today that although the Black Python was defeated, it was still a powerful Azure Water Race clan several decades ago, so he gave us a trial iron medal. As long as we can keep the trial iron medal here, this year’s Azure Water College will have a place for the Black Water Python,” said Wu Gong Zongtu slowly.

Hearing Grandpa Zongtu’s words, Chen Xun felt even colder.

If the black python wanted to obtain the trial iron medallion from the beginning, it would definitely become the target of public criticism. It would be better to hide first and snatch the trial iron medallion from the other clan’s disciples halfway.

Madam Su said that she valued the black python, which was clearly pushing the black python into the fire pit.

Who would have thought that after six to seven hundred years, the Su Clan would still be so jealous of the Black Python. They really did not relax at all, but they could stop the other clans’ excuses.

Of course, the Black Python could refuse to recommend its disciples to participate in the competition for the recommended spots in the Azure Water College.

However, could the black python refuse?

All of a sudden, the stone hall fell into an extremely oppressive silence.

“Grandpa, let me represent the Black Python.” Chen Xun sat on his waist and said.

Although Zong Ya, Zong Ling, Nanxi, and the other disciples had all comprehended savage souls and possessed the strength of an Intermediate Barbarian Martial Cultivator, if they took the Iron Smelting Trial Token and participated in the cruel competition for the 20 recommended spots, they would most likely lose their lives.

“Ah Xun, you are not a disciple of the Black Python Clan. How can a disciple of the Black Python Clan escape the fate of the Black Python Clan?” Wu Gong Zong Tu shook his head and said, “Last year, Vice Commandant Su Qingfeng was very fond of you. Your cultivation has improved greatly in the past few months. As long as you follow Ge Yi to Cang Lan, you will have a chance to enter the Academy …”

Apart from the 200 tribal clan disciples and the clan disciples of Su, the Azure Water School would also recruit small and medium-sized clans and even commoners from all over Cloud Continent every three years.

Chen Xun was only a Cloud Continent youth who had wandered to Python Fang Ridge, and he had won the favor of Vice Commandant Su Qingfeng of Su Wu. He didn’t need to participate in such a cruel competition for the spots of tribal disciples, and he even had a greater chance of entering the Azure Water College.

Nan Liao’s skinny hand rested on the stone table and said loudly, “Nan Xi will break through to the fourth level of the Barbarian realm. No matter what, there is still a sliver of chance!”

Although his voice was loud and clear, it was somewhat desolate.

As the Patriarch, Nan Liao was his son. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was destined to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

“Let Zong Ling go too!” Zong Sang gritted his teeth and said, “Why would the Black Python want to compete for a spot this time? Otherwise, if Gui Xi was strong, it would be difficult for the Black Python to survive.”

“Uncle, Ah Ling is still young. There’s still a chance in three years. Let me go this time.” Zong Ya, who had been eavesdropping for a long time in the stone hall, walked into the stone hall and said. His left sleeve was hanging down empty, but his face was filled with determination.

“Zong Ling also has to bear the fate of the black python!”

Chen Xun turned around and saw Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and the rest of the youths walk in, their childish faces filled with determination that could not be rejected …

“Alright, alright, all of you go. Not a single one of the black python men is afraid of death!” Zong Sang pointed at the stone table with resentment and spat out word by word, as if he had smashed into the ground.

Two years ago, the Gui Xi Tribe might have restrained themselves a little. After three to five years, once the Gui Xi Tribe’s main merchant inn had stabilized its footing in Tianma Lake, it would be impossible for it to sit and watch the black python take root in the mountains thirty to fifty kilometers away.

If the Black Python didn’t have the chance to enter the Azure Water College this time, what would it do in three to five years?

Should he carry his clan out from the Northern Mountain to avoid the calamity of Gui Xi?

The Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion had a bad heart, so they had to hand over a trial iron medallion to the black python disciples from the very beginning, and they would definitely make the black python disciples the target of public criticism.

If the Black Python only sent one disciple to carry this trial iron medallion, he would probably be unable to walk a hundred miles, and his head would be elsewhere, and the trial iron medallion would be taken away by the disciples of other races.

Even if he knew that this path was bloody, sending three or five more people to participate in the selection would also distract the enemy’s target, giving him a greater chance of ensuring that one person could bring the trial iron medallion into Azure Water City in the end.

Zong Sang’s temper was rude, but he could still understand the reasoning behind it. Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nanxi were destined to sacrifice themselves to attract the attention of the other tribes. However, such sacrifices had to be made.

However, Zong Ling, Zong Ya, and Nan Xi, who really carried the trial iron medallion with them, and who was responsible for attracting the attention of the other races with the bait?

Thinking of this, Zong Sang clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails pierced into his flesh, and his veins were exposed. Even Bronze Bell’s eyes were about to bleed when she looked at the mud, but she did not have the courage to look at Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nanxi.

It was cruel to decide who would be the bait.

An old man in the stone hall suggested softly, “Let A-Ling, A-Ya, and Nan Xi draw lots.”

Everyone’s eyes were on Wu Gong Zong Tu, waiting for him to decide.

Chen Xun sat upright on his back and said to Grandpa Zongtu, “The Northern Mountain Tribe will kill each other for these five trial iron plates.” In order to compete for more spots, the Southern Foothills Guixi Tribe and the others will most likely let the disciples of the sect rob and kill us halfway. Regardless of whether Zong Ya, Zong Ling, or Nanxi were allowed to carry the Iron Trial Token with them, they would most likely be doomed. I’ll go with them … ”

“Ah Xun, you don’t have to sacrifice so much for the Black Python.” Wu Gong Zong Tu’s heart trembled.

The rules laid down by the Su Clan were not broken by anyone in Canglan. Perhaps, there would be disciples under the age of eighteen from the Guixi Clan who would advance to the upper level of Barbarian Martial Arts, but there definitely wouldn’t be too many of them. Together with Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi, Chen Xun’s chances of winning would naturally increase greatly.

Although Nan Liao, Zong Sang, and the others were eager for Chen Xun to travel with Zong Ya and the others, they knew that Duke Wu Zongtu was right. Chen Xun really didn’t need to sacrifice so much for the Black Python.

“Four years ago, if Grandpa hadn’t taken Ah Xun in, I would have already lost my beast belly.” Chen Xun smiled and said resolutely.

Not mentioning that the Black Python had taken him in all these years and allowed him to fall to his feet. In this world where the weak prey on the strong, he was able to cultivate the Great Roc Secret Fist, enter the Lake Wasteland to cultivate bitterly, and meet Su Tang. What was not given by Grandpa? How could he repay him with a few Nine Yuan Orifice Nourishing Pills?

Furthermore, it was impossible for him to sit and watch Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi die!

*******************

That night, Wu Gong Zong Tu, Nan Liao, Zong Sang, and the others were in the stone hall, secretly offering spirit awakening sacrifices.

Without caring about the trample and regret, he took out three Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pills and gave them body tempering pills to Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi, hoping to help them break through to their current realm and have a better chance of winning on the road.

The Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill was extremely potent, making it very difficult for ordinary barbarian martial artists to refine all the medicinal power within a day or two.

It would take half a month for Chen Xun to completely refine a Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill to cultivate his savage soul.

Only with the help of the Black Python’s Nine Nether Barbarian Soul Statue could Chen Xun quickly refine and absorb the medicinal power of the Nine Orifices Nourishing Pill.

However, only by absorbing the souls of exotic beasts could the Nine Nether Barbarian Soul Statue be activated.

Chen Xun couldn’t bear to see the young leopard beside him fall into a coma after being sucked into so many souls by the Nine Nether Barbarian Soul. However, there was nothing else they could do.

The Nine Origin Nourishing Orifice Pill was extremely pure and powerful.

Normally speaking, a barbarian martial artist who had comprehended a barbarian soul would be able to cultivate to the peak of the sixth layer of tendon tempering strength. Taking the Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill would allow his body to temper to a new peak, and it would help him break through the shackles of the sixth layer and advance to a higher level of barbarian martial artist.

Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi consumed the Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill. With the help of the Nine Nether Barbarian Soul Statue, all of the extremely pure medicinal power was trickled into their bodies. However, apart from their cultivations reaching the peak of their respective levels, the remaining medicinal power turned into incomparably pure Barbarian Soul Divine Essence that fused directly into their Soul Sea bodies. It did not help them break through to the current level and advance to another level in an instant.

The enlargement of the Soul Sea Heart Phase would help increase their cultivation potential in the future, but Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nanxi were in urgent need of cultivation.

However, everyone was helpless when they consumed the Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill.

Chen Xun had also consumed three Nine Yuan Orifice Nourishing Pills during the Soul Sacrifice Secret Awakening. However, three Nine Yuan Orifice Nourishing Pills were not enough for him to reach the peak of the seventh level of Blood Transformation.

Su Tang had said before that the Ancient Desolate Bloodline he possessed was rare in a thousand years, and breaking through to the peak of the ninth level of the Barbarian Martial Arts might be ten times harder than hers.

Chen Xun didn’t expect that even breaking through to the seventh level of the Blood Transformation Realm would be so difficult, let alone entering the Reincarnation Realm.

He still had six Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pills on him, and Chen Xun didn’t dare to randomly consume them. There were twelve Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pills left in the stronghold to help Grandpa Zongtu, Nan Liao, Zongsang, and the others defend the foundation of the black python.

In the remaining ten days, Chen Xun didn’t do anything. Accompanied by Zong Sang and Nan Liao, he went deep into the valley of Python Fang Ridge, picked medicinal herbs, and refined the Origin Gathering Paste.

Before martial cultivators entered the Reincarnation Realm, they were unable to store their true essence in their bodies. When fighting against enemies, they relied entirely on the purity of their qi and blood and the strength of their fleshly bodies. As for the consumption of Qi and blood, only by consuming spirit medicines could they be replenished in a short period of time.

No one knew what kind of danger would ensue along the way. Refining more Origin Gathering Paste with him would always be safe.
