Chapter 510: Chapter 85: Nation Destroyed 12! Ugar’s Rise_3

This era’s kingdoms are essentially worthless.

Take Trit Island as an example; its area is about thirty thousand square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the size of Hainan Island. It has three kingdoms, all of which Duncan wiped out in just a few days.

Of these twelve countries that were annihilated, the larger ones have populations of tens of thousands, while the smaller ones only have ten to twenty thousand people.

Duncan purely obliterated these kingdoms casually, exercising a bit, giving the Barbarians a tiny gain in actual combat experience.

Overseas island nations can’t even count as a snack.

Looking at the mass of natives kneeling in front of him, Duncan calmly said, "Leave it to Annie Potter to handle, and everyone else pack up and set out."

"Crete."

"Tomorrow will be the competitive ritual offered to the Furious Gods, and it’s best you don’t indulge in women today."

Crete smiled awkwardly and said, "I know."

During this period, everyone else’s skills have improved by leaps and bounds, but Crete hasn’t shown any significant progress. Duncan feels Crete is likely to be violently defeated tomorrow.

A night passed without words.

With the mastery over the Domain Law on the Path of Legends, Duncan also entered a state of abstaining from alcohol and women for bitter cultivation. Hegel was promoted to Thunder Warrior, which suggests he’s probably pursuing the Path of Wildness, becoming what the Barbarians call the ’Primordial Warrior.’

That is, the most ancient Frenzy Warrior.

The next day, a group of Barbarians held an offering ritual for the Furious Gods on this newly conquered land.

The ritual was presided over by a remarkably alluring female priest.

She outwardly appeared to be from the northern Barbarian Race but was actually a sea spirit transformed to the appearance of a human. The first batch of priests presiding over the temples are non-humans, with priests from the North Sea following to take over the faith of this land.

Barbarians have never formed true kingdoms because they simply can’t manage politics; for long periods, they are united under chieftains, only electing a temporary leader when war erupts.

This is very similar to the Germanic tribal alliances, where chieftains equate to southern small kings.

Duncan and Hegel stood before the Shen Kan.

Only this time, the offering ritual to the Furious Gods was led by Duncan, with Hegel assisting. The first to take the stage were Tambourine and Pest, who significantly improved over this period, matched evenly in their bouts, but it was evident Tambourine slightly had the upper hand.

Beside the competitive ritual, Crete broke into a cold sweat watching.

He suddenly realized his companions around him had greatly improved, especially Tambourine, who used to be a third-rate figure in the warband. In the recent bout, Crete felt he might not even defeat him.

This is a monthly grand competitive ritual, very likely to attract the gaze of the God of Strength and some Furious Gods.

"Next up is Crete against Ugar."

Duncan glanced at Crete, shaking his head secretly, having already anticipated the result.

—Ugar (Clear-minded Frenzy) (four-star silver-gray).

—Crete (Furious) (three-star gold).

Although the gap between three-star gold and four-star silver-gray isn’t that large, in actual combat, the result was overwhelmingly one-sided.

Bang!

In the instant the two giant men clashed, Crete was suppressed by Ugar, then both entered a wrestling-like stalemate, with the surprised Hegel looking at Crete with a hint of concern.

The next second, Ugar suddenly exerted force, using technique and strength to make Crete lose balance, followed by a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming Crete heavily onto the ground.

His frenzy was extremely calm, even capable of displaying advanced combat skills.

Crete was defeated.

As the deputy leader of the warband, he unexpectedly lost to Ugar.

"Again!"

Crete, full of disbelief and anger, challenged Ugar again. Since he wasn’t the core figure of the ritual, the defeated are allowed to challenge again, as the Furious Gods appreciate the Barbarians’ unyielding spirit.

Boom!

Ugar still had no intention of holding back; respecting the opponent is respecting oneself.

He knocked Crete down once again.

This time, more brutally.

Crete got beaten up badly, and after being thrown, Ugar pressed on his back, twisting Crete’s neck with his hands, and solemnly said, "You’ve lost! Crete."

Humiliation!

This is true humiliation.

In past encounters, Crete defeated every Barbarian in the warband except Duncan and Hegel.

But today, he was easily suppressed.

Ugar looked at the immobile Crete beneath him with calm eyes, burning with fury within, the power he mastered—a clear-minded frenzy. He slowly said, "Women made you weak, women made your legs soft, Crete."

"Women made you lose the fighting spirit a warrior should have."

This phrase sounded familiar.

Something wandering in Hegel’s mind suddenly made his mouth twitch; Ugar was becoming more like Quinn.

Duncan’s mouth also slightly twitched.

He had long guessed Ugar would defeat Crete severely, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. This guy has truly become a super muscle man after abstaining from women. A Barbarian, if not interested in women, spends every day relentlessly training, and Ugar is simply a training maniac.

During this period, among all Barbarians, only two people improved the most: one is Ugar, and the other is Tambourine, but the latter was neutered.

At this moment, Duncan couldn’t help but think of a movie starring Stallone, Rocky.

With the strong physique of the Barbarians, a slight indulgence in women isn’t hugely impactful, but can’t withstand others rapidly progressing while you stagnate due to beauty.

Crete indulged without realizing others surpassed him unnoticed.

This battle.

Caused changes among all the Barbarians, some couldn’t help but glance at Duncan, then at the commanding Ugar, and Crete who lay unable to rise for a long time.

Ugar’s gaze had already surpassed Crete; he was no longer the opponent Ugar wished to defeat.

He fixed his eyes on Hegel ahead and Duncan behind the scenes.

He wants to challenge stronger opponents!

Maybe a year later, maybe long after, but someday, he will challenge these two legendary figures under the witness of the Furious Gods.

Tambourine silently lifted the bruised Crete, patting his shoulder, without saying a word.

Crete stood in place, silent for a long time.
