Creak!

Accompanied by the sound of the wooden door squeaking and colliding, the door slowly opened, and Xiao Chen’s figure appeared in the courtyard.

He took a deep breath and inhaled the air that belonged to the bitter cold.

Although it was already the frigid season, the scene in this Green Pine Ancestral Pavilion was a different one.

There was no sense of bleakness at all.

The garden was filled with lush greenery, totally inspiring and heartwarming.

Greeting the morning sun, he stretched lazily.

At that moment, a green light flashed across Xiao Chen’s body, and his fatigue from the night was immediately swept away.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Chen followed the winding path, heading towards the vaguely visible stone pavilion in the pine forest.

After admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, Xiao Chen again followed the winding stone path to the outside of the courtyard because he heard the sounds of weapons swooshing through the air at the martial arts venue.

Seemed exactly like Ren Fei, the Soul Breaking Saber, who was living in the courtyard across the street, was practicing his martial arts.

As expected, the figure in the martial arts venue was Ren Fei.

A saber was flipping up and down in his hand, like a shadow, without making a noise.

Xiao Chen stood aside, watching Ren Fei with calm eyes.

It had to be said that Ren Fei, as a ranger, had no backing from any tribe.

All martial arts resources needed to be earned by himself.

Under such conditions, he made a big name for himself in the Giant Stone Valley, not just because of his outstanding talent, but more because of his unremitting efforts.

Nobody could casually make a name for themselves.

In a short moment, under Xiao Chen’s powerful soul perception, Ren Fei’s whole truth was exposed.

Under his leather clothes, his not-so-robust body was filled with a surge of Combat Qi like roaring river water, pervading every muscle.

The saber in his hand had reached a state of perfection.

It had to be said that genius was always incredible and unpredictable.

After observing for a short moment, Xiao Chen concluded that Ren Fei’s strength was above Ying Jie’s.

No wonder there was a mutual understanding between the two on the Blue Stone Street of Duanmu City.

However, Xiao Chen at this moment was no longer the same as before.

If the original fight between the two was evenly matched, then the current Xiao Chen, who had comprehended the rudiment of the combat essence of killing, could defeat him effortlessly.

While Xiao Chen was deep in thought, the saber technique Ren Fei was practicing in the martial arts venue was nearing its end.

As predicted, Ren Fei didn’t take long to finish practicing and started walking toward where Xiao Chen was standing.

“Brother Xiao is here.

I got itchy hands when I got up this morning and saw that there happened to be a martial arts venue here.

I couldn’t help but take some exercise.

It’s a bit embarrassing that Brother Xiao had to see this,” Ren Fei started greeting Xiao Chen from a distance.

“Worthy of being the ranger who made a big name for himself single-handedly in the Giant Stone Valley.

Such fine skills, I admire them.”

“Brother Xiao is joking.

Now who in the Giant Stone Valley doesn’t know the name of Gu Yuan, the Xiao Clan Leader?

The act of brave marching to save his tribe is highly spoken of among people.”

“Alright, Brother Ren, let’s stop teetering each other.

I wonder what’s planned for today?” Xiao Chen felt embarrassed at Ren Fei’s compliments and stopped him.

After all, being young warriors from the Giant Stone Valley, their fame had long spread far and wide.

If the two of them kept complimenting each other, they probably wouldn’t finish even if they spent the whole day on it.

Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Ren Fei lightly slapped his head and said somewhat regretfully, “Brother Xiao, you reminded me.

I’d have forgotten it without your reminder.

Ying, came by this morning.

Seeing that the door of your pavilion was closed, he guessed you might be cultivating and did not bother you rashly, so he told me about it.”

“What is it?” Xiao Chen was intrigued by Ren Fei’s words.

“It’s like this.

The tribal ceremony is in a few months, and after the ceremony is the time when each of our Giant Stone Valley tribes pays tribute to the mid-ranking Iron Hoof Tribe.

I think Brother Xiao must be aware of this.”

Xiao Chen obviously knew about the annual festival, a collective holiday for all human brethren on the Barbaric Continent.

On this day, every tribe would worship Cang Tian, praying for the tribe’s prosperity and expansion in the coming year.

It was the most important festival passed down in the Great Wasteland Ancient Human Tribe.

As for offering tributes, it was akin to vassal states paying tributes to their suzerain nation in the ancient times, corresponding to subordinate tribes presenting tribute to their own superior tribes.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen’s knowledgeable expression, Ren Fei continued, “Where there are people, there are societies, and where there are people, there are powers.

My Giant Stone Valley belongs under the administration of the mid-tier Iron Hoof Tribe.

However, the territory governed by the mid-tier Iron Hoof Tribe is not confined to the Giant Stone Valley; roughly, it can be divided into one city, two valleys, and four lakes”.

As the leader of a tribe, Xiao Chen certainly would understand his tribe’s position and the surrounding powers.

He knew that under the Iron Hoof Tribe, there were countless mouths to feed within a huge land area.

The one city referred to was Iron Hoof City, the stronghold of the supreme overlord tribe.

The two valleys referred to Giant Stone Valley and Chaotic Stone Valley, and the four lakes referred to Yan Dang Lake, Azure Lake, Qing Yun Lake, and Lin Yang Lake.

Every one of these territories was the home of countless large and small human tribes and no smaller than the Giant Stone Valley.

“And after this tribute offering, the Blood Clan’s battlefield will open.

To compete for the spots to enter this battlefield, there will inevitably be a battle of the strong among the tribal warriors across these regions.”

Could the matter that Brother Ying has been busy with be related to this Blood Clan battlefield?”?

“Exactly, the number of those allowed to enter the Blood Clan battlefield is limited.

Therefore, whenever the Blood Clan battlefield opens, the younger generation in my Giant Stone Valley would organize a gathering in advance to discuss related matters.

Of course, this only concerns our younger generation; the older strong ones do not participate.”

Xiao Chen listened attentively to Ren Fei, nodding from time to time or asking related questions.

As for the matter of the Blood Clan battlefield, Ren Fei himself wasn’t quite clear about it.

The Blood Clan battlefield was an ancient battlefield from tens of thousands of years ago, where the human race and the Blood Clan clashed.

It is unknown when, this ancient battlefield was enveloped in a dimensional space, and it would only appear on the mainland once every decade for a month.

The place was full of treasures, but it was also wrought with danger.

“I was only invited here to Duanmu City because of that, and I only found out today that the organizers of this generation’s gathering are the Ying Jie brothers.

The event is set to be five days from now.”

By this time, the two of them had settled in a stone pavilion.

Attending maids fluttering around like butterflies poured tea and water for them continuously.

However, it was a pity that the focus of the two martial arts enthusiasts was not on this matter at hand.

“Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the number of times the Blood Clan battlefield has opened more than ten times, yet the number of people from my Giant Stone Valley who entered has decreased.

This has led to my Giant Stone Valley becoming the mockery of other territories within the Iron Hoof’s domain.” With these words, Ren Fei let out a light sigh, his tone somewhat solemn.

After engaging with Ren Fei, Xiao Chen now had a comprehensive understanding of this Giant Stone Valley young warriors’ gathering.

This gathering has been held continuously for hundreds of years.

The purpose of the meeting is for young warriors to reassure each other of their martial arts, supplementing their own shortcomings through discussion.

There was no strict rule about who should organize it.

At the end of each gathering, everyone unanimously chose someone whose strength all could admire, to host the next gathering; this time, the gathering was hosted by the Ying Jie brothers.

Even though Xiao Chen was now honored as a clan leader, he was nonetheless a young warrior.

As the saying goes, there is no first in martial arts and no second in literature; interacting with various formidable opponents was a rare opportunity for every warrior.

After deliberating at great length, he decided to stay for a few more days to make some friends in the younger generation of warriors.

After all, it was also a rare occasion where so many young, skilled players gathered together.

Although Xiao Chen had left the tribe for over a month, with a great warrior like Hu Guyue located in the tribe, he wasn’t too worried.

Little did he know, unanticipated events may happen, and nobody is sure what the next moment will bring.
