The Master of Beasts-Chapter 778 - 245: Surrender

"If this is all there is, then your tribe will belong to me!"

Akam was angered by the words: "Such arrogant claims, today I'm going to kill you!"

"Hahaha, if you can do it, then by all means, come at me!"

Sitting cross-legged on the white clouds, Chen Jiuge shook the wine cup in his hand, somewhat disappointed: "Is it Akam who has weakened, or is this Ku Ruo too strong?"

After entering the burst mode, Akam indeed had the upper hand against Ku Ruo, but it was hard to tell if Ku Ruo was exceptionally talented. This little giant's body brought not just immense strength but also unparalleled defense and life force.

No matter how heavy the blow she took, she could rise again, even her breath didn't weaken much.

"Indeed, surprises come one after another!"

"Boom"

With another collision, Akam was somewhat horrified to find that even when unleashing his strongest state, he seemed to not be Ku Ruo's match. She had adapted to his strength, and her body even evolved accordingly.

Looking down at the fist to his abdomen, Ku Ruo let out a grim smile, raising a fist as large as a sand pot: "Akam, your tribe belongs to......"

"Bang"

Before Ku Ruo could finish her words, Sorrowful Girl punched her away, a blow even heavier than Akam's!

After lying down for a while, Ku Ruo staggeringly got up, her eyes like copper bells filled with bloodshed, looking up at Sorrowful Girl, showing an expression of disbelief: "How is it possible, just a mere girl!"

"Bang"

Flying kicks, heavy punches, one hit after another, leaving Ku Ruo without any ability to resist.

The spilled blood dyed the ground completely red, and the originally high-spirited tribesfolk suddenly fell silent, seemingly unable to believe their invincible leader was being beaten pointlessly by a seemingly weak young girl!

"Roar, I will not lose!"

Ku Ruo, staggeringly stood up, her miserable appearance made the previously furious Akam sigh quietly.

Bleeding from seven orifices was one thing, but her eyes swollen like bulbs, whether she could see was uncertain, her limbs twisted to varying degrees, and her chest and abdomen full of muscles, like having tumors, bulging out. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Cough, that's almost enough!"

Chen Jiuge held back Sorrowful Girl, who wanted to continue, showing a self-assured smile: "Anyone interested in becoming my subordinate?"

The other natives remained silent, just taking a step back, indicating their rejection.

These natives, who preferred wandering, leading a life of occasional hunger, all had their unique personalities.

Of course, the most important part was the presence of Ku Ruo in this settlement, keeping everyone well-fed, living even more comfortably than those in the big tribes.

"If you want me to be your subordinate, then beat me first!"

"Wait, not this girl, but you!" The young man who first spoke, Ku Ruo's son, Ku Zhu, fearfully waved, knowing he couldn't withstand it, hadn't he seen his father beat into a pig's head?

"You want a one-on-one fight?" Chen Jiuge chuckled.

If dealing with Ku Ruo, he would fall short, but against this youth at the Heavenly Immortal Level, it's a straightforward affair.

"Alright, bring it on!"

"It's your call!"

The youth excitedly dashed forward, then was flicked on the forehead by Chen Jiuge, raising a large lump.

Watching Ku Zhu squatting in pain on the ground, Chen Jiuge chuckled: "Convinced or not, if not, would you like a few more?"

"Convinced, convinced!" Ku Zhu retreated repeatedly, showing his surrender.

After dealing with this somewhat mischievous native youth, Chen Jiuge stood before the forcibly standing Ku Ruo.

"You've lost, and by your rules, aren't you supposed to submit to me!"

Ku Ruo reluctantly opened her eyes: "Women have no right to rule, you didn't beat me!"

"So, you're seeking death?" Chen Jiuge asked, half-smiling.

"You're a talent, your life shouldn't be so fleeting. Follow me, just be loyal, and I can make you stronger and even give you a longer life span!"

Ku Ruo struggled internally, but finally under the threat of life, knelt on one knee to submit.

"See, if you had done this earlier, it would've been easier!"

After compelling these natives to swear loyalty, Chen Jiuge began healing Ku Ruo, as only something entirely secured truly belongs to him!

"Start practicing according to this!"

Chen Jiuge selected a cultivation technique most suitable for Ku Ruo and bestowed it upon her through the Divine Soul.

The suddenly appearing little figure in her mind stunned Ku Ruo, who then found it was far superior to her current technique, and displayed a look of delighted madness!

"Thank you, Master!"

"Yes, perform well, and the future benefits will be beyond your imagination."

After soothing Ku Ruo, Chen Jiuge called over a crestfallen Akam: "I'll grant you a technique too, but before that, I have a question about your life span issue."

During the healing process, Chen Jiuge was surprised to discover that Ku Ruo, stronger than Akam, yet according to bone age, was only 150 years old, with a remaining life span of less than 300 years.

Even being stronger than a Golden Immortal, a lifespan of less than 500 years seemed exaggerated.

"Life span?" Akam was stunned for a moment, curiously said: "Master, it is like this, we generally live for 500 years."

"No matter the strength you can only live 500 years?" Chen Jiuge questioned.

"Yes, just 500 years, I'm already 340 years old, indeed starting to age!" Akam sorrowfully noted, being surpassed by younger generations is truly a sad thing!

"The strange rules, inconceivably strong physique, and the unusually short life span, this world is truly incomprehensible!"

"You go practice first."

After teaching the technique to Akam, Chen Jiuge pushed him away.

"Sorrowful Girl, go to the settlement and see if there's anyone about to die of old age, I need to run a test!"

"Yes, Master!"

......

"Master, this is the old Ku Tou, he was the previous leader."

Ku Zhu carried an elderly figure with weak breath to Chen Jiuge's stone house.

"Just place him down!" Only a small experiment, Chen Jiuge didn't want to bother with grand gestures.

"Bang"

Ku Zhu threw Ku Tou onto the ground, the heavy thud made Chen Jiuge wince at the thought of the old man still surviving.

With a muffled groan, Ku Tou seemed accustomed to such treatment, his languid voice emerged: "You're the new leader, it seems Ku Ruo has lost to you?"

"Not me, her!" Chen Jiuge patted Sorrowful Girl on the shoulder.

Ku Tou froze for a moment, then chuckled sardonically: "What a useless child, to have such a worthless son, what's the reason for dragging this old, near-death man here?"

"Never mind, whatever you do doesn't matter, if possible, I'd like some meat, fresh meat, don't trick me with that rotten stinking stuff!"

"Small issue!"

With a wave, Chen Jiuge pulled out sumptuous foods from the Storage Ring, the rich aroma instantly captivating Ku Tou and Ku Zhu.

"Is this for me?" Ku Tou's eyes widened, seemingly disbelieving.

"It's for you!"

"Bang"

As Ku Tou attempted to eat, Ku Zhu clung to Chen Jiuge's leg: "Master, don't waste it on this old man, give it to me!"

"Crack"

The previously dying Ku Tou's elderly visage disappeared, reverting to middle-aged appearance, grabbing Ku Zhu's ankle with mighty hands, he growled: "Kid, you're too green, this is mine, trying to snatch my things, not even your father would dare!"

"Bang"

Watching Ku Zhu disappear into a shooting star vanishing into the sky, Chen Jiuge dryly remarked: "Truly a harmonious family!"

Ku Tou opened his maw, eating voraciously, tears suddenly streaming down his eyes.

"I spent my life toiling for this settlement, only now eating such food, thinking of the past life, it truly wasted my life."

Looking up at Chen Jiuge, Ku Tou smiled wryly: "Had I met you in my youth, with this feast, I would've fought for you till death, but unfortunately, now I'm already at my end."

Reluctantly glancing at the remaining food, Ku Tou shook his head: "Take it back, it's not worth giving to this near-death person."

"Not necessarily!" Chen Jiuge smiled slightly!
