Chapter 868: Chapter 853 Martial Arts Foundation Building, War Masters Reform! (Additional Chapter 17!)

[Subscribe and recommend!]It was merely a few sentences, yet they represented the rapid development of the Gu Yuan Tribe over the years. Established for merely a decade, the tribe had evolved from a minor clan into the most powerful Battle Division in the entire Border Wasteland, even surpassing the Bai Ze Marquis Division that had centuries of heritage. The two tribes were no longer on the same level.

Even those tribe members who had been forcibly incorporated into the Gu Yuan Tribe before the blood battles, under a series of measures taken by the tribe, had quickly integrated into the tribe. Not to mention the enhancement of the tribe’s cohesion by the fortune of the human race had doubled.

However, the words that followed from Xiao Chen stunned everyone like thunder, shocking them profoundly.

"But this is far from enough. My Gu Yuan Tribe is comparable to the legendary Marquis in name. Apart from this reputation, what else do we possess?"

"The martial prowess of the warriors in our tribe is inconsistent, and the foundation of our tribe is shallow. We are not worthy of the legend’s name, and being legendary is not just lip service!"

"Although the Border Wasteland has become the enfeoffment of my Gu Yuan Tribe, as the chief, I ask all the elders, even with the Imperial Edict from the Human Emperor, does my Gu Yuan Tribe qualify to dominate the entire Border Wasteland?"

"Does my Gu Yuan Tribe have the capability to carry the fortune of a region and the strength to protect the safety of this land and drive out the rampaging foreign races?"

Xiao Chen’s words were straightforward, like thunder exploding. These days, since the Gu Yuan Tribe gradually returned to the right track, some warriors within the tribe had grown somewhat conceited.

Because, as of now, the Gu Yuan Tribe was the strongest Battle Division in the entire Border Wasteland Region, its influence unchallenged.

"You all must remember, the conquest of my Gu Yuan Tribe is not limited to the Border Wasteland, but extends to all the heavens and myriad realms!"

"Our enemies are not other human Battle Divisions but the Hundred Clans of Heaven!"

"The Bai Ze Marquis Division is not the ultimate goal for my Gu Yuan Tribe. Advancing to supremacy, inheriting through the ages, letting the name of the Gu Yuan Tribe shine throughout the heavens, and being engraved in the annals of time—that is what you should strive for now!"

"Understood, I will heed the chief’s teachings!"

The next moment, a thunderous roar echoed throughout the Great Hall. Xiao Chen’s words had everyone feeling their blood boil.

Being legendary is not the end, advancing to supremacy, leaving our mark through time!

Such bold words stirred their hearts, and at that moment, the warriors in the entire Great Hall, most of whom started from humble beginnings, were united by the Gu Yuan Tribe, becoming one entity.

They did not possess superior talents; even with noble bloodlines inherited from their ancestors, they were countless generations removed and indistinguishable from ordinary warriors.

Starting from humble beginnings, they were to forge a family that would last through the ages. Xiao Chen’s words seemed to give them a sense of direction. In their hearts, establishing the Gu Yuan Tribe for just over a decade with such achievements was enough to make them proud and envied by countless human warriors.

Take these past few days for example, the Bronze Ancient City and Border Wasteland City were only ten miles apart. Every day, numerous human warriors traveling to and from Border Wasteland City, upon seeing warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe, would invariably give way to them.

These foreign warriors respected them, some for the achievements of the Gu Yuan Tribe and others for the status the tribe had attained. This led to some warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe being pursued and their hearts naturally drifting.

"Grand Elder, starting today, anyone in our tribe who looks down on others with arrogance should be severely punished by the Enforcement Hall!"

"Understood!"

The hall fell silent. After a long while, Xiao Chen’s voice resonated again, "Elders, I have gathered everyone today to discuss the future development of our Gu Yuan Tribe."

"Third Elder, how many tribe members do we currently have?"

"Reporting to the chief, our Gu Yuan Tribe currently has 5.4 million people, of which fewer than 2 million are able-bodied." The Third Elder quickly responded.

"What about the number of children in the tribe?"

"Currently, our Gu Yuan Tribe has 81,300 children under the age of ten who have not yet started Martial Arts Foundation Building, of which 26,000 need to begin martial arts foundation building."

"Tie Wen, you manage the affairs of the children’s foundational martial arts training in the Performing Martial Arts Hall. With such a large number of children, can you arrange everything efficiently?"

Xiao Chen turned his speech toward Tie Wen, the master of the Performing Martial Arts Hall; the tribe’s children were linked to the tribe’s future. A tribe’s reproduction and growth, sustained by a continuous birth of new generations, was crucial for its normal functioning.

"Reporting to the chief, the hall has already begun phased martial arts foundation building for the children of the tribe. However, the number of children is vast, requiring three months to complete. Moreover, our hall lacks some experienced martial arts warriors to guide these children on the path of cultivation."

"Three months is too long. By any means necessary, ensure that all age-appropriate children complete their Martial Arts Foundation Building within a month."

"All resources currently lacking in the tribe will be prioritized for your Performing Martial Arts Hall. War Masters from the Blood Clan will enter the Desolate Ancient Forest to hunt down fierce beasts."

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen spoke again. Three months was too long for some talented children, who could already create a gap or even complete foundation building and advance to the Bone Tempering Realm.

"As for the Performing Martial Arts Hall lacking martial artists to guide the children in building their martial foundations, we can recruit retired warriors from the War Master Hall to serve as the initial guides to lead the young children onto the path of martial arts," he said.

"Once these children break through to the Bone Tempering Realm, they can then be personally taught by the elders of our tribe," he added.

"Understood!"

After Tie Wen returned to his seat, Xiao Chen paused before speaking again, "In this recent blood battle, our Gu Yuan Tribe lost over a million warriors, including venerable powers, elders of various halls, and War Soldier Commanders. Such a number of fallen warriors has also caused some chaos in our great halls."

"I am sure the Grand Elder has already conveyed the tribal chief’s imperial command to all the elders. Within the tribe, there are also matters in the various great halls that we should discuss thoroughly today," he continued.

Xiao Chen had already instructed the Grand Elder to inform the elders in the hall about today’s tribal council agenda. As soon as he finished his sentence, Ding Shan was the first to stand.

"Reporting to the tribal chief, this subordinate requests a reform of the establishment of the warriors in the War Master Hall," he said.

"Chief Ding, what issues are there?" Xiao Chen inquired.

"Chief, the strength of our Gu Yuan Tribe is growing by the day. Even the ordinary tribe warriors in our Battle Division have reached the Blood Refining Realm. Appointing War Masters and roles like Sergeants and Centurions based on the original warrior strengths seems somewhat inappropriate and needs adjustment. Besides, aside from the losses among the ordinary warriors, the commanders at the leadership level have also suffered losses. It is necessary to absorb new warriors into the War Master Hall, so I request a change in the establishment," Ding Shan replied.

"Chief, there were also losses in each hall during the great battle, and we need to absorb new tribe members," he added.

As Ding Shan finished his remarks, other hall masters began to speak.

"Honorable elders, what Chief Ding has mentioned was already very apparent even before the blood battle. The rapid development of our Gu Yuan Tribe and the swift increase in Blood Refining Realm Warriors in our tribe mean that a Centurion in an ordinary tribe would only be an ordinary warrior in our Gu Yuan Tribe’s Battle Division," Xiao Chen explained.

Xiao Chen scanned the Great Hall, pausing before adding, "Moreover, our tribe has never clearly defined the correspondence between strength and position within the Battle Division, which causes some confusion."

"Chief Ding, since you’ve raised that the structure of the War Masters is unreasonable, you must have already developed a new method of reform. In the presence of many elders, please speak up so we can discuss it together," he said.

"Reporting to the tribal chief, together with two other chiefs from the War Master Hall and a group of commanders, we have deliberated as follows," Ding Shan replied, bowing again.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Ding Shan bowed once more and said,

"In the future, our Gu Yuan Tribe’s War Masters will have the Blood Refining Realm as the base, ordinary warriors being those below the mid-phase of the Blood Refining Realm, those in the mid-phase as Sergeants, those in the late phase as Centurions, and those who have perfected the Blood Refining Realm as Leaders of a Thousand," he laid out.

"Martial artists from the first to third level of the Towering Realm could be Ten-Thousand Men Leaders, commanding ten thousand War Masters, but only those who advance to the fourth level of the Towering Realm can be promoted to become War Soldier Commanders, commanding a hundred thousand War Masters," he continued.

Ding Shan’s voice boomed through the Great Hall like thunder.

"Do any of the elders disagree?" After a long while, Xiao Chen finally spoke, asking those below.

"Chief, Chief Ding’s restructuring of positions might be too drastic all at once. A warrior of the fourth level of the Towering Realm is powerful enough to support a superior Battle Division in the outer world, yet in our Gu Yuan Tribe, he could only become a commander leading a hundred thousand War Masters," one elder expressed.

"This elder sees nothing excessive in it. Our Gu Yuan Tribe’s strength has already matched that of the Legendary Marquis Department, and although we are still not comparable to those marquis departments that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, our tribal strength is continually growing, and the Battle Division is the protective wings of our tribe, vital for conquering the Great Wasteland; the stronger it is, the safer our Gu Yuan Tribe will be," another elder commented.

"This elder also agrees with Chief Ding," he affirmed.

"Seconded!"

Voices of debate naturally arose in the hall. Ding Shan’s restructuring was indeed a significant step, but given the current strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe, this restructuring was quite feasible.

In the entire tribe, there were a million warriors of the Blood Refining Realm, and several hundred of the Towering Realm. Currently, the War Master Hall had only six hundred thousand War Masters, and they only needed about ten commanders of the fourth level of the Towering Realm and sixty Ten-Thousand Men Leaders from the first to third levels.

"Silence!" The somewhat chaotic hall instantly quieted down at the Grand Elder’s shout, returning to calm.

All eyes turned to Xiao Chen, for regardless of their debate, the final decision still lay with him.

"The War Masters are the protective wings of our tribe, a most crucial resource. No standard is too high for them," he stated.

Xiao Chen’s voice sounded, pausing before continuing, "Chief Ding’s mentioned change in the War Masters’ establishment, this tribal chief approves," he concluded.
