Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 108 - 108 107 Surge in Strength!_1

108: Chapter 107: Surge in Strength!_1 108: Chapter 107: Surge in Strength!_1 Before long, Grand Elder Tie Shi had already led the tribe in gathering the bodies of these brave warriors.

But now, while the Gu Yuan Tribe was still in a state of crisis, these bodies could only be temporarily placed within the Stone Tower.

After the tribe has managed to drive out the foreign invaders, they would reconsider their options.

These warriors were the heroes of the Gu Yuan Tribe, having sacrificed their lives for their tribe’s heritage.

They deserved to be mourned by everyone.

Although all the bodies had been gathered, the bloody stains that had seeped into the green land were permanently left there, unable to be wiped clean.

They seemed to be telling the future generations about the dozens of tribesmen who had risked their lives for the tribe but tragically died without realizing their wishes.

Once the tribe had gathered the remains of the martyrs, Xiao Chen did not pause, but continued to speak: “During the recent days, our Gu Yuan Tribe has been in a crisis.

The inheritance of the tribe and the safety of our tribesmen are of paramount importance.

Therefore, every decision has to be made cautiously.

I ask everyone to keep today’s events confidential.

Starting now and until our Chief’s appointed time to wage war with the Xuan She Kui Shui factions, none of the tribal soldiers shall leave the Stone Tower.

If any information is leaked, the person will be killed without mercy!”

“Yes!” Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, everybody responded with agreement.

Seeing these warriors who had just faced death and returned from the Ghost Gate, Xiao Chen felt uncertain whether he was right or wrong.

On this survival of the fittest continent, countless human tribes were annihilated every day.

Survival came at a price.

In order not to let his own tribe follow suit, he had to be more ruthless in ensuring the tribe’s continuation.

In a moment, a bitter smile unconsciously crossed Xiao Chen’s face.

He didn’t know when he had become so cold.

The lives of dozens of people disappeared just like that.

But this bitter smile disappeared in a blink, replaced by a determined look.

One must go mad to survive.

The blood of the tribesmen will not be wasted.

The debt of blood must be paid with blood.

This time, out of the one hundred and ninety who underwent the elixir bath, over thirty died from severe injuries, their bodies completely destroyed, while around eighty became cripples for the rest of their lives.

Finally, eighty managed to successfully awaken their potential and grow stronger.

Among these eighty successful warriors, all had reached the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm.

Moreover, over ten even reached the Near Blood Refining Realm.

Although their potential had been exhausted, having eighty Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors was an achievement that other low-tier tribes couldn’t compete with.

Take the Gu Yuan Tribe, for example.

It only had twenty warriors at the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm.

This was after Tie Wen and the others leveled up by taking the elixir Xiao Chen gave them.

Warriors at the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm were equivalent to Centurions among War Soldiers.

Eighty Perfect Bone Tempering Realm Warriors were equivalent to eighty Centurions, who could potentially lead eight thousand warriors.

Of course, the Gu Yuan Tribe didn’t have that many War Soldiers at present.

The fact that eighty tribesmen persisted and advanced to the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm was a surprise for Xiao Chen.

He thought that if a quarter of the two hundred tribesmen succeeded, that would already be considered divine intervention.

However, unpredictably, eighty tribesmen survived and advanced.

With the original twenty Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors in the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe now had a staggering one hundred such warriors.

If this news got out, the amount of shock it would cause can be imagined.

While the Xuan She Tribe and the Kui Shui Tribe were stronger than the Gu Yuan Tribe, they only had forty to fifty Bone-Tempering Realm warriors in their respective tribes.

Considering they also had to defend their tribes, it was estimated that in the upcoming battle, both tribes combined could only deploy around fifty Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors.

Despite the addition of eighty Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors, Xiao Chen was well aware that this was just a temporary solution.

Only a large number of Centurion-level warriors could form a foundation for the birth of Blood Refining Realm warriors, the essential strength needed for tribes to continue.

However, the Bone-Tempering Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe had already exhausted their potential.

There was virtually no chance for them to advance to the Blood Refining Realm, unless there were divine treasures to compensate for their loss of potential.

But such treasures were nearly impossible to find.

Of course, for ordinary low-ranked Battle Divisions, warriors in the Blood Refining Realm are the mainstay.

The number of Centurion-level warriors determines the strength of the lower-ranked Battle Division.

For example, the four top tribes in the Giant Stone Valley—each had hundreds of Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors.

Observing the eager warriors below, Xiao Chen knew that even if one’s own strength suddenly increased by two or three levels, one would still be eager to test out the new power.

Especially these tribal soldiers, who were originally low-level warriors, suddenly gaining such strength would be hard to adapt to in a short time, making it hard to use their full potential.

“Alright, for the next few days, no one is allowed to leave the Stone Tower.

Make sure to adapt to your newfound strength as soon as possible.

In a few days, we will be heading to Black Cloud Mountain.

By then, we of the Gu Yuan Tribe will revenge our past humiliation, and rescue our tribesmen.”

Having said that, Xiao Chen did not say more.

In the nearly thousand-year history of the Gu Yuan Tribe, there had been countless records about these two neighboring tribes to the east.

From the day the Gu Yuan Tribe was founded, they have been living in the shadow of these two tribes.

Every time the Gu Yuan Tribe strengthened, they would be attacked by these tribes.

In the Great Wasteland, disputes between human tribes were inevitable.

On the chaotic barren land, for better inheritance, tribes needed to continuously fight.

Only the strong tribes had the right to survive.

To strengthen oneself and weaken others was a common occurrence.

After arranging the matters, Xiao Chen immediately left.

The Gu Yuan Tribe now had more than a hundred Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm warriors.

Now, the only difference between Gu Yuan and the Xuan She Kui Shui factions was the number of top warriors.

As far as Xiao Chen knew, each of these two tribes had several Blood Refining Realm warriors.

Now, Xiao Chen had revealed his strength, and they were in a life-and-death struggle, sure to attack full force and aim to wipe out Xiao Chen and the Gu Yuan Tribe.
