112: Chapter 111 Breakthrough!_1 112: Chapter 111 Breakthrough!_1 The elderly Gu Lin, who was engrossed in his recollections, did not notice Xiao Chen’s subtle action.

By the time he lifted his head once more, Xiao Chen had already concealed the surprised look on his face, the startled expression in his eyes had completely vanished without a trace.

“The Kui Shui Tribe is built by the Kui Shui Lake, which is rich in resources, with a variety of medicinal herbs growing along its banks.

This has allowed the Kui Shui Tribe to thrive ever since their establishment, producing a continuous line of Blood Refining Realm warriors and amassing great depth of heritage.

The whole tribe has over forty thousand members, with four Blood Refining Realm warriors known publicly.

Even at our peak, the Gu Yuan Tribe depended on the Kui Shui Tribe’s support,” he said.

The more he spoke, the more somber his voice became, seemingly laced with regret and an indescribable sense of helplessness.

“As for the Xuan She Tribe, it’s on par with the Kui Shui Tribe.

This tribe’s rise is quite an anomaly.

In just over two hundred years, they’ve grown from a small scattered group to their current level.

Whether it’s because the tribe has kept a low profile or simply because they’ve had no quarrels with other tribes, they’re as enigmatic as a fog.”

After listening to Gu Lin’s explanation, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but fall deep into thought.

He had no idea these two tribes had such backgrounds.

Setting aside the Kui Shui Tribe, the Xuan She Tribe alone warranted his attention.

The fear of the unknown is the most dreadful.

The swift rise of the Xuan She Tribe from a simple tribe to a major force in just two hundred years could not be overlooked.

“Originally, our Gu Yuan Tribe was merely a thorn in the side of those two tribes, lying in the buffer zone between Xuan She and Kui Shui.

Otherwise, we would have already been absorbed by them.

Your rapid rise, Xiao Chen, perhaps has made these two tribes feel threatened.

Even without the appearance of the mid-grade Elemental Stone mine, it would have been only a matter of time before they targeted the Gu Yuan Tribe!”

The old man’s voice gradually hummed low.

A few moments later, Xiao Chen slowly stood up, gently placing the warm tiger skin on the old man’s body.

He turned and added some charcoal to the stone basin.

Listening to the old man’s soft snores, he quietly left.

When he came out of the Ancestral Hall in the middle of the tribe, it was already noon.

As he walked along the slate roads of the tribe, he acknowledged the salutes from a few patrolling war soldiers from afar, their eyes filled with respect.

He gave them a gentle wave, telling them to disperse.

Although the tribe’s people appeared less panicked after his return, the pressure from foreign threats still worried the tribe.

This sight made Xiao Chen even more determined to overcome the two tribes, Xuan She and Kui Shui, as soon as possible.

After receiving the Channel-opening Pills bestowed by Xiao Chen, the Grand Elder and others promptly delegated their unfinished work on the Stone House to their subordinates and entered a closed-door breakthrough state.

These individuals, who had long held the strength of the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm, had the additional advantage of Xiao Chen’s imparted knowledge about breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm.

It would not be a difficult task for them to take the next step.

At a dilapidated courtyard near the city gate in the southeast of the tribe, there were two war soldiers guarding the eerily quiet courtyard.

This was where Ding Shan lived.

Since he was appointed the War Soldier Commander by Xiao Chen, he moved his residence to this courtyard.

After returning from the Stone Tower, Ding Shan had ordered the soldiers to reject all visitors.

He rushed into the Stone House and closed the door, which surprised the two Guardian Clan Soldiers who had been waiting outside.

At this moment, Ding Shan, who was in the Stone House, was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Under Xiao Chen’s full support, he had almost reached the Near Blood Refining Realm.

Although he had been injured by a youth from the Xuan She Tribe not long ago, he had fully recovered within two days thanks to the healing medicine given by Xiao Chen.

The human body has twelve meridians connecting the entire body and its divine storage.

The process of opening these channels is the process of unlocking a person’s potential and initiating the evolution of life.

Every time a channel is opened, it marks an upgrade in the level of life.

Sitting cross-legged in the Stone House, Ding Shan had already taken the Channel-opening Pill.

The powerful medicinal effects exploded within him like a tidal wave.

His entire person was enveloped in a white light.

As the overwhelming medicinal power roared, he made a great effort to control it, making it vigorously surge towards the barrier to the first meridian.

However, the medicinal effects were overwhelming, rolling like surging river waters, intensifying to their limit.

Boom!

At that moment, Ding Shan’s body jolted, and a thunderous rumble came from within him.

His body seemed like a deflated ball, his pores exuding endless energy.

For a moment, his body seemed to meld with heaven and earth, connecting the closed-off body with the universe.

Roar!

With a long roar, Ding Shan’s body began to vibrate violently.

The vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of feet was instantly devoured by him, sending a surge of blood-colored energy straight up into the sky.

He broke through!

While strolling along the Bluestone Street, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and looked towards the southeast of the tribe.

In that direction, he felt a great surge of vital energy simmering.

True enough, in the next moment, the simmering vital energy accumulated to its peak and burst forth like a volcano, shooting up to the sky.

“Hahaha!”

Eventually, the blue Stone House’s roof collapsed under the repeated battering of the energy wave, turning into debris.

Ding Shan instantly burst out of the Stone House, standing in mid-air and laughing heartily.

The realization of his ambitions after many years felt like an unreal dream.

At this moment, Ding Shan truly earned the right to be the War Soldier Commander of the Gu Yuan Tribe, not merely out of Xiao Chen’s appointment.

It was right for the war soldiers of the tribe to obey the commands of the tribe leader, but there were many who did not comply willingly.

They questioned why Ding Shan, while having the same rank as them, got to be their superior.

They dared not go against Xiao Chen’s orders, but they didn’t necessarily agree with them.

In the Great Wasteland, Perfect Bone Tempering Realm warriors were qualified to be Centurions among war soldiers, while Blood Refining Realm Warriors held the position of a thousand-man commander.

In the old Gu Yuan Tribe, only Xiao Chen was suited for the position, which was also why the Gu Yuan Tribe was so weak.

The whole tribe could not gather a thousand war soldiers, and the promotion of Ding Shan to War Soldier Commander was a necessity at the time.

The two Guardian Clan Soldiers on guard outside Ding Shan’s door were instantly blasted away by the invisible energy wave.

Without worrying about their embarrassing positions, they looked at Ding Shan standing in the air, with only one thought in their minds.

Their commander, Ding Shan, had broken through to the Blood Refining Realm!

Moreover, Ding Shan’s figure was apparent throughout the Gu Yuan Tribe, which revitalized the previously subdued tribe.

After all, amidst the threat of invasion, one more Blood Refining Realm Warrior meant an added layer of security for the tribe.

At this moment, in the west of the tribe, where many people lived, three individuals were huddled together, watching Ding Shan in the sky.

Their eyes were filled with admiration.

The Blood Refining Realm was a realm they longed for in their dreams or could be said to be the only ambition of the Lian Shan clan for centuries!
