Chapter 668 - 269: Thunder Skill, Tribesmen_3
Forty-nine feet, seven inches; in terms of advancing to the Divine Treasure, it’s already incredibly profound, meaning it can attempt advancement to the Divine Treasure at any time.
The combat power naturally was also assessed by the Three Ancestors of Luo River, ranked at the Quasi-Divine Treasure Level.
Roar!
The Fire Ape roared, and with a raised hand, the palm transformed into a Profound Qilin Palm Seal, striking at the opponent in front.
The opponent of the Fire Ape, Yan Jin, refused to show weakness, unexpectedly neither dodging nor flinching, taking the iron rod and short halberd from his back and merging them into a Great Halberd.
He held the halberd with both hands, swinging a golden ray several feet long, transforming into a huge golden-eyed tiger, instantly shattering the Profound Qilin Palm Seal and smashing down towards the Fire Ape’s head.
The Fire Ape raised both hands to block above its head, transforming into a mass of flames, but the flames were still burst apart by the Great Halberd, and the splattering energy knocked it flying, landing heavily outside the battle stage.
"I lost!"
Yan Xiang stood up, reverting to his original form, and the battle attire on his body shrank to fit him closely.
On the high platform, Yan Jin put away the Great Halberd and cupped his hands, then looked at the thirty thousand people around.
"Who else is here to challenge?"
...
"He truly flaunted it, having cultivated the ancestral ’Nine Golden Halberd Techniques’ to perfection."
"Even Yan Xiang, who is quasi-divine, was defeated; going up there to compete is just asking for a beating!"
Yan Jin circled the surroundings, his gaze falling on certain people, each one with even more vigorous blood and energy.
"Since no one challenges, I’ll take the position of Commander Number Sixty-three."
On the back of the ten-foot Cyan Simurgh stood five young men and women, dressed in various battle attires, appearing extraordinarily distinguished.
However, such exceptionally distinguished figures were everywhere in sight, each exuding a heroic aura.
"Another powerful contender has emerged."
"Hidden too deeply, previously no one knew he also had quasi-divine hidden power."
According to the clan’s previous statistics, there were just over a hundred with quasi-divine treasure combat power, but now only around twenty have shown themselves from those numbers.
In the battle for selecting commanders, including Yan Jin, already sixty-three individuals with quasi-divine treasure combat power have emerged.
No, Yan Xiang, who just retreated, also had quasi-divine treasure combat power and was still a clan registered martial artist of quasi-divine level.
"Damn, each one is hiding from whom? Even hiding within the same clan!"
A member of the Celestial Vein Ninth Layer gripped his Martial Blade, speaking somewhat reluctantly: "Forget it, I won’t fight for the commander position, I’ll go be a general."
"I can’t provoke them; my Divine Treasure hasn’t even been opened before it’s blocked."
...
The older generation of the clan, watching from above, were actually just a bit older than those below but had less strength compared to some of the younger members.
In an awkward age and even more awkward strength, wanting to comment but lacking the capability, unable even to clearly see the juniors’ methods, only able to exclaim ’amazing’.
"Come drink!"
"That’s my kid, hahaha..."
...
The Tribe Alliance established five major camps in Yongyi, needing clan martial artists to hold commander positions.
Though the clan has yet to announce how many people are needed, the commander positions must certainly have a limited number.
To gain merit and advance to the Divine Treasure, one must seize the opportunity first.
This competition is precisely for selecting individuals to lead troops.
From afar atop a treetop, Huo Shan, together with Huo Zhang, watched the competition.
"Clan Leader, something seems off."
Huo Shan asked, "How many quasi-divine treasure combat powers were counted within the clan last time?"
"One hundred and thirty-three." Huo Zhang immediately replied: "And about a hundred more could anytime reach quasi-divine treasure combat power."
Huo Shan was silent for a moment.
To put it plainly, quasi-divine treasure combat power isn’t a realm; even though everyone is in the same realm, there is a gap between Celestial Vein Ninth Layer and another Ninth Layer.
Theoretically, among Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artists, the one with stronger blood energy will have greater combat strength.
But this is just in theory; in reality, the combat power increase of the Blazing Flame Tribe’s members is largely derived from the Desolate Beast Battle Body, making the assessment of quasi-divine treasure combat power challenging without practical combat.
"These youngsters; what are they hiding for?"
Huo Shan also saw that some clan members had long since reached quasi-divine power, only lacking assessment by the Three Ancestors of Luo River.
If they go to the Three Ancestors of Luo River for trial, it would naturally be recorded; otherwise, it wouldn’t.
However, some have improved in recent years, having reached a threshold, and with the wind about the clan holding the Tribe Alliance Conference, they naturally would no longer be stingy with resources, directly elevating themselves to the quasi-divine level.
Huo Shan and Huo Zhang watched until nightfall, when the lamps were lit, yet the battles continued.
The number of clan members with quasi-divine treasure combat power had reached one hundred and forty-three, with only sixty-seven previously recorded.
"Great Elder, have someone re-evaluate the clan members’ cultivation situations."
...
Several days later.
On Shen Can’s desk lay a Beast Hide Scroll with three sets of data.
In five years, the number of martial artists with quasi-divine treasure combat power reached nine hundred and forty-seven.
The Celestial Vein Ninth Layer martial artists further increased by three thousand seven hundred and sixty.
Nine individuals advanced to the Divine Treasure.
The disparity is too great between clan members who have advanced to Divine Treasure and those qualified to do so.
Five years ago, just as the Blazing Flame Bo Division was preparing to convene all divisions for a conference.
Rising from obscurity, the Blazing Flame, after stepping out of the forests back then, never skimped on cultivation resources, aiming for formidable strength and continued external expansion and acquisition.
Lest people vanish without having consumed meat and elixirs, this excellent tradition seems to have been passed down.
Good meat, good elixirs, all used at the knife’s edge.
The clansmen have clearly sensed a major event within the clan, each seizing the opportunity precisely.
"Ayu, where is the Clan Leader?"
"The Clan Leader is in the Clan Hall, discussing matters such as establishing the Alliance Battle Merit Hall and Merit System with the Elders."
Shen Can grabbed the Beast Hide Scroll and walked out of the side hall of the Ancestral Temple; the growth of clan strength is even quicker than imagined.
It can be foreseen that the number of clan members advancing to the Celestial Vein Ninth Layer will continue to increase, and action must be taken in advance.
