119 Spiritual Power (1/2)

”Fight me!” another person stepped forward. This time, it was a sixth layer Earth Warrior.

Xue Wei glanced at him with disinterest. Although the expert had a strength similar to his own when one looked at their layer, Xue Wei felt as if he was looking at a dead man.

”You want to fight me?” Xue Wei asked with a snicker. ”Sure, why don't you try to see if you can make me lift my arms.”

Hearing this, the entire audience gasped, and glares were sent to Xue Wei. He was ridiculing the youngsters of the Chaos Vulture Tribe with a smile on his face, and he was making all of them feel insulted and frustrated.

”Beat him up!”

”Tear him to pieces!”

”Show him that the experts of the Chaos Vulture Tribe are not to be made fun of!”

Everyone yelled in support. The young man snickered and felt as if his strength was soaring. He had support. He was strong. He was not someone to be looked down upon!

Mind Infestation exploded forth. The moment it was used, the young man was standing still, his eyes vacant, and his body turned limp. It made him instantly lose consciousness.

Once more, everyone was quiet. ”What happened?” someone finally asked. Even the Sky Warriors frowned.

”He did not move,” someone finally said. When everyone looked at the speaker, they saw that it was one of the strongest experts in the younger generation.

”It couldn't be just another one throwing away his face for this stranger's sake, right?” someone asked hesitatingly, but his words caused the others to frown.

”Every member of our Chaos Vulture Tribe are filled with pride,” the elite who spoke before said seriously. ”They would never let their pride be trampled over by someone they do not know. I imagine that he is using some sort of secret technique to defeat his opponents!”

”Well said!” an ancient voice sounded out and everyone turned around to see Elder Zhang and the other elders moving towards the training ground.

Seeing these elders, the faces of the youngsters turned serious and reverent. They bowed deeply.

The Little Tribe Chief hurried over to walk by their side, and the group entered the training field.

Elder Zhang looked at Xue Wei with eyes full of interest. ”Spiritual force!” he exclaimed with a grin on his face. Everyone was silent as they looked at this elder curiously. What was spiritual force?

”This young man has a soul much stronger than other experts at his level, and he is using a martial technique that allows him to rely on his soul's strength rather than Qi. As long as you have a soul that is weaker than his, you will succumb to him.”

”Soul? Spiritual power?” They were all puzzled. They knew they had a soul, but none of them had ever trained it before. Was there a reason to having a strong soul?

Hei Gou remained silent, but a smile spread on his face. He was a Primordial Beast, and Primordial Beasts were known to have very powerful souls. There were also many Primordial and Fierce beasts that specialized in their spiritual energy and their soul force.

He had been surprised as well when he saw Xue Wei use the ability at first, but he had quickly understood what he was doing. Despite the surprise he felt in his heart, he still felt it was plausible. This was the man who had caused a mutation to occur in his blood and body; he clearly had no limit to his secrets.

Whereas Hei Gou was not too shocked any longer, every other person on the training field was shocked. Even the other Elders were surprised.

”Martial techniques which rely on spiritual power are incredibly rare, especially in our part of the continent,” one of the other Elders added with surprise.

This Elder had also looked at Xue Wei with a slight bit of disdain in his eyes before, but that changed to a slight bit of terror when he realized what Elder Zhang had said meant.

”So he had good luck and had a fortuitous encounter,” someone pitched in, snorting. No one saw exactly who said it, but many had the same thoughts.

”Fortuitous encounters and luck are also part of someone's strength.” Elder Zhang smiled. ”Also, even if you were fortunate enough to acquire such a skill, would you be certain that your soul is strong enough to launch an attack of this level?”

The speaker was quiet. No one stepped forward to disagree with Elder Zhang. However, this was not because they agreed with him, but because they respected him boundlessly in their hearts.

Even though they respected him, the same could not be said for Xue Wei. And all of them were more eager than ever to put him in his place and look good in front of Elder Zhang.

”Young hero, can you come here?” Elder Zhang asked as he looked at Xue Wei. The boy nodded his head, and made to approach Elder Zhang.

When he started walking towards the elder, Hei Gou followed behind him. He still felt uncomfortable about the strong experts that were looking at them.

”Don't worry, I won't harm him,” Elder Zhang said consolingly, laughing when he saw how on edge Hei Gou looked. Xue Wei smiled too.

”If a senior of your strength wishes to kill me, even this good brother of mine would be incapable of saving me,” Xue Wei said flatly. This was not flattery. It was a statement of fact. Hei Gou's face turned ugly.
