CHAPTER 571: CHAPTER 548: GRAND LEADER 66

In this wild world, there is no need for schemes; as long as you have absolute strength, the so-called tribal exclusion is nothing but a joke.

Exclusion can be ignored; if someone dares to cause trouble, just fight back. Despite the Cannibal Tribe’s infamy, their strength compels the Mutual Market of the Super Tribe to reserve a place for them specifically to sell human flesh and even open separate caves for their residence.

If Yan Shuangshuang were Sang Nan, she would only consider the Traveler Tribe as initial capital, then continuously recruit wanderers to expand the tribe. In the Traveler Tribe, warriors are abundant, which signifies strong hunting capabilities and no shortage of food.

In the absence of food shortages or a lack of manpower, one should naturally take control. Yan Shuangshuang would definitely grasp destiny in her own hands, rather than risk joining another tribe with all her people and an uncertain future.

This meal of roasted Sky Wolf Fierce Beast meat was tasteless to everyone; not because the meat itself was unappetizing, but because their minds were preoccupied with thoughts about joining the Yanhuang Tribe.

In fact, everyone’s mood has yet to settle, leaving no interest in food. They lack neither oil nor water and don’t crave meat as much; compared to the meat, the matters concerning the Yanhuang Tribe weigh more heavily in their minds.

Yan Shuangshuang was contemplating the sudden influx of people joining the Yanhuang Tribe. This means the large cave on the mountaintop must be emptied; otherwise, the newcomers from the Traveler Tribe would have nowhere to stay.

Meanwhile, Sang Nan was excitedly discussing with his tribesmen the matters after joining the Yanhuang Tribe. Although joining the Yanhuang Tribe meant he would no longer be a leader, Sang Nan felt indifferent about it.

He became the leader of the Traveler Tribe only because he was elected by other travelers. In truth, he doesn’t enjoy being a leader much, as it entails too many responsibilities and hassle, which someone straightforward like him dislikes.

Since he was the strongest fighter and the smartest among the Traveler Tribe, he reluctantly became their leader. Not being the potential leader of a tribe constantly threatened by disease, Sang Nan didn’t find anything regrettable.

Ever since the news of joining the Yanhuang Tribe was received, Yan Shuangshuang noticed that everyone in the Traveler Tribe’s thoughts were no longer focused on their current tasks but drifted towards imaginations about the Yanhuang Tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang saw their absent-minded expressions; it seemed no one had any resistance to joining the Yanhuang Tribe.

Yan Shuangshuang was also eager to have these people join the Yanhuang Tribe, so after finishing the roast meat, she discussed with Sang Nan about arranging for the people in the Traveler Tribe to pack up and set off for the Yanhuang Tribe immediately.

Sang Nan was naturally more than willing; his heart was actually as impatient as his tribesmen’s. However, as the leader, he refrained from showing it, lest his agitation further unsettles the tribe.

Despite wanting to leave immediately, the Traveler Tribe comprised over five hundred people, each with many belongings to take with them. It’s not feasible to leave at the drop of a hat. They discovered some wild vegetables nearby, some yet to mature, which were still being cultivated.

According to their tribe’s tradition, before leaving, these vegetables ought to be harvested and dried to be taken along. The root systems should not be harmed during harvesting.

Thus, the mere harvesting and drying of these vegetables, combined with packing, required five to six days even in the fastest scenario. Should rain interrupt the drying process, an additional day would be needed.

Moreover, when the actual packing commenced, it was inevitable that some items could not be taken. Yet, people in the tribe, hesitating to leave this or that behind, ended up bringing almost everything, thus extending the time taken.

While everyone in the tribe was busy packing up, Yan Shuangshuang and Sang Nan, unconcerned about leaving things behind, decided to travel light and spar a few rounds, essentially engaging in some battles.

Of course, Sang Nan, being a Second-level Warrior, effortlessly defeated Yan Shuangshuang, who had not yet reached Second-level Warrior status, even though Yan Shuangshuang had awakened as an Advanced Warrior.

Therefore, the sparring sessions could be seen less as Yan Shuangshuang versus Sang Nan, and more as Sang Nan unilaterally guiding Yan Shuangshuang’s combat techniques.

Being trained by a Second-level Warrior with rich hunting and combat experience considerably boosted Yan Shuangshuang’s fighting power, surpassing her solo practice.

In just five to six short days, under Sang Nan’s guidance, Yan Shuangshuang believed her progress surpassed months of solo cognizance and arduous practice.

What surprised Yan Shuangshuang most was her imminent advancement to a Second-level Warrior, perceiving that the intangible barrier within her, unfelt and unseen yet palpable, seemed to slacken at last.

Especially over the past two days, Yan Shuangshuang noticeably felt her Warrior Power stirring uneasily within, almost as if she could break through the obstructing barrier at any moment.

However, while Yan Shuangshuang sensed the barrier’s slackening, breaking through wasn’t easy. In order to breach it completely, relying solely on sparring and guidance like Sang Nan’s was impractical.

The reason was simple: Sang Nan never fought full-force against Yan Shuangshuang for fear of hurting her.

Thus, during their sparring sessions, Sang Nan constantly held back to avoid injuring Yan Shuangshuang. Under such circumstances, Yan Shuangshuang never felt the tension and pressure of facing life-or-death challenges.

Without that intense pressure, naturally, neither did she summon her full potential to unleash all her power and fight desperately, which was needed to break through the barrier.

Just as greenhouse flowers cannot compare to those braving the elements outdoors, without the pressure from life’s storms, the deepest human potential cannot be unlocked to break one’s limits and reach another height.

Yan Shuangshuang knew that to succeed and become a Second-level Warrior, the best approach was to confront dangerous creatures in the forest directly, experiencing life-and-death battles to successfully break through and ascend as a Second-level Warrior.

But Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t engage immediately in such battles, for her primary responsibility wasn’t advancing to a Second-level Warrior promptly, but leading this expectant group from the Traveler Tribe to settle in the Yanhuang Tribe swiftly.
