Second-Tier Awakened (Thanks to Alliance Leader 'Nilan Xuanzhen')

When Rein and Great Shaman Mafat came out of their secret conversation, it was already an hour later.

Wudo waited outside the Bamboo House.

She saw Rein come out, smiled, and went up to him, asking, "Doctor Rein, what did you and your teacher talk about? It took you so long."

It was just a casual question, not a serious inquiry. She smiled, revealing shallow dimples, and before anyone could answer, added, "The teacher is actually very strict. Even the elders who go in usually only exchange a few words and come out. I've never seen anyone talk to him for this long."

Rein glanced at Wudo, his expression changing slightly, and casually said, "We talked about the future development of the tribe."

"Oh."

Wudo didn't pay attention and didn't ask any further questions.

Just then, in the distance, a group of young soldiers were seen excitedly dragging several dinosaur carcasses back to the village.

The soldiers laughed excitedly.

Because earth dragons have thick hides and run fast, and their roars can frighten magical beast mounts, they are extremely difficult to hunt. In the past, the main method was to drive them away, and very few could actually be killed.

Of the more than thirty earthworms discovered this time, more than ten survived, making it an unprecedentedly large harvest.

The villagers, as if celebrating a festival, joyfully gathered in front of the village gate, lining the road to welcome the bountiful hunting team.

Wow, we actually hunted more than a dozen earth dragons this time!

"Haha, all thanks to Doctor Tuster for the cannons! They're incredibly useful! Those tough little earth dragons were stunned with just one shot!"

"Let's go, let's deliver a dragon leg to Mr. Tuster and young Karl. If it weren't for the equipment they forged for us, several more warriors would probably have died this time."

"Yes, send one to Doctor Rein as well."

"."

Although no warriors died this time, which is unusual, several were seriously injured during the hunt, and several monster mounts were also killed.

Rein was somewhat surprised because he found that those who participated in the dinosaur hunt were all young warriors of the Second Tier and Third Tier, and even the hunting captain was only of the Fourth Tier.

He asked Wudo beside him curiously, "Why aren't the elders making a move?"

If the elders intervene, no matter how powerful those dinosaurs are, they will definitely not return alive.

"This is a tribal tradition."

Despite her young age, Wudo spoke with the composure of High Priest Kolman: "Young warriors need to hone their hunting skills through battle, and learn to bravely face bloodshed and death. If the elders always have to step in, the younger generation of warriors will not grow. The warriors of our Kolman Tribe will never fear battle or death!"

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Rein nodded in agreement.

It is precisely this harsh natural environment and daily combat that has truly forged such a formidable fighting race.

Rein was well aware of Kolman's formidable fighting prowess.

Rein's Gene Potion and Cultivation Method arts techniques are top-notch on the market.

His own combat prowess was already top-tier among First Tier fighters, and with his "Monstrous Strength," he was practically invincible. However, among these First Tier Kolman Warrior, there were quite a few in the tribe who could fight him to a standstill.

These guys are natural-born warriors; their combat experience and skills are incomparable to those who grew up in the Mechanical City. Even the most experienced hunters are simply not on the same starting line as these primitive civilization warriors who have been hunting in the jungle since childhood.

Although the "tribal system" is primitive and backward, it also has its very prominent drawbacks compared to the feudal private ownership system.

Resources within the tribe are allocated uniformly, and even "knowledge" is almost entirely shared.

As long as you have good compatibility and enough materials, everyone you come into contact with will be the highest quality potion that can be upgraded.

As long as you can learn it, the tribe's martial arts techniques are all public knowledge, and the elders are happy to guide brave and eager-to-learn young warriors.

Can you imagine that the martial arts moves that are casually drawn on stone slabs with charcoal in a tribe are comparable to "advanced" or "ultimate" martial arts moves outside?

The tribal distribution system of the Kolman Tribe meant that warriors had no concept of keeping secret Cultivation Method.

Just like the "Savage Bull Fist" used by children in the tribe to learn and lay a foundation, it is definitely a kind of advanced boxing technique in the outside world.

This would be completely unthinkable under a feudal system of private ownership.

Those advanced martial arts techniques, Cultivation Method, crystal cores, and magic potions—all of these are the private property of the lords, completely controlled by the high-ranking nobles. The common people at the bottom of society have absolutely no chance to even begin to acquire them.

They control "knowledge" and keep the people ignorant, which makes it easier to consolidate their rule.

As he pondered the strengths and weaknesses of the two civilizations, Rein's thoughts drifted far away.

Just then, someone called out to him from not far away, pulling him back to reality.

"Hey Doctor Rein, we've brought you some earthworm meat."

Upon closer inspection, the warriors who had participated in the hunt had just cut up a large, bloody piece of dinosaur meat and were carrying it over with great enthusiasm.

It is always the best way to entertain our friends from the Kolman Tribe.

Ten peaceful days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Rein removed his gas mask, his aura breathing efficiency became extremely high.

He knew he was about to break through, and he spent a lot of time meditating every day.

On this day

Rein suddenly opened his eyes during meditation, his face radiant. At that moment, a light purple aura, faintly crackling with arcs of electricity, appeared on his body.

"His fighting spirit is overflowing!"

He was overjoyed.

During this period, he meditated by the sinkhole every day, and the rich "Abyssal Demonic Qi" brought him more than ten times the efficiency of his cultivation.

Finally, today the fighting energy in my meridians has reached its full capacity.

At that moment, without hesitation, Rein took out the [Fate Weaver] potion jar that he had prepared beforehand and poured it into his mouth in one gulp.

Suddenly, a slightly pungent smell gurgled up and down my throat.

"This potion really has a pungent smell."

While drinking, Rein didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark.

Compared to regular Gene Potion, the Kolman Tribe's special potion was more like a pot of herbal soup—large in quantity and with a strong flavor. It made one's stomach churn. If he hadn't known that the elders themselves had concocted it, he wouldn't have dared to drink it.

However, it must be said that although this potion doesn't look good or taste good, its effects are so intense that people can't help but exclaim "Awesome!"

The potion flowed down the throat into the esophagus, and its violent potency was immediately absorbed into the body and meridians.

Rein once again felt that surging, volcanic energy within his body, as if it were about to erupt. Once the effects were fully released and that boundary was broken, he would instantly transform from a cocoon into a butterfly!

Because it is an exclusive potion of the same advanced sequence and its purity is not low, the compatibility is very high.

Not long after the potion entered his mouth, Rein immediately sensed that he had successfully advanced!

Not daring to be careless, when he felt this sensation in his body, he immediately circulated his battle qi and began to guide the medicinal liquid into his body.

The meridians widen, muscles become stronger, bones become more resilient, and the five senses become increasingly clear.

His body is taking another leap forward, fueled by the Transcendent power of the potion.

Not far away, there was a thatched hut.

Wudo was tending a campfire beside a huge piece of monster meat. She knew that after Rein advanced, he would need a lot of energy, so she had prepared plenty of food for him.

"Wow, Brother Rein is about to advance in his level!"

"Rein's fighting spirit is the most powerful I've ever seen among those who have advanced to the Second Tier Transcendent level."

"Wow, that's amazing! Grandpa, should I also advance to the Transcendent level?"

"Um"

Grandpa Tuster and Karl chatted idly. It was a rare occasion for the grandfather and grandson to spend a day away from the machine workshop, instead of witnessing Rein's advancement.

Meanwhile, the legendary Bazel was unusually not wandering around.

He looked at the advanced Rein with anticipation in his eyes.

Previously, he had hoped that the young doctor who could treat his injuries could advance his skills as soon as possible so that he could remove the Silver Needle from his body.

But now, for some reason, he was vaguely looking forward to something else.

He wanted to see how far Rein could go and how strong he could become.

Looking at the thick purple aura veil covering Rein's body, the legendary figure suddenly felt a pang of envy, muttering to himself, "Being able to directly absorb the 'True Demonic Qi' from the sinkhole, it's no wonder this kid's cultivation speed is so fast."

Thinking of this, he sniffed the air and inhaled a wisp of black smoke, still feeling very uncomfortable.

Although we no longer need to wear gas masks, we still need to take some dark-colored herbal medicine every now and then to help our bodies metabolize those negative substances.

Now they all know that it wasn't a "toxin," but something truly beneficial to the body.

Bazel couldn't help but sigh that only Rein's special Extraordinary Sequence, which allowed him to "self-heal" at any time, could enjoy the Kolman's barbaric breathing technique.

He suddenly felt that the banana in his hand didn't smell so good anymore.

"I don't know how that kid cultivates. Others might not be able to gather a single 'Gang Line' for months, but this guy does it like it's water, he just rubs it in and it comes out."

Despite the complaints, Bazel was also quite looking forward to it.

After Rein Second Tier, the injuries that had plagued him for so long could finally heal. Once the Silver Needle were removed, he would immediately regain his peak combat strength. At that time, he truly could go anywhere in the world.

Just as Rein was advancing in rank...

On Bamboo House adorned with bird feathers on a distant hillside, a pair of wise yet aged eyes gaze into the distance.

The Temple Tribe deep within the Ashen Forest is like a paradise.

This place is inhabited by a group of simple, kind people who were originally peaceful and unassuming.

But the roar of the Steam Boilers shattered the tranquility of this primeval forest, which had been isolated from the world for countless years.

The towering Mechanical City had advanced to the edge of the forest, like a group of steel behemoths exuding an aura of destruction, rampaging through the jungle.

What a place this is, so rich in natural resources!

Such enormous trees are nowhere to be found in the wasteland; a few felled trees could fetch a good price for those noble gentlemen. The jungle is teeming with rare plants and animals, and magical potion ingredients are everywhere. Large mining machines have already begun operating, and with a simple shovel, they can unearth high-purity coal that drives people crazy.

For the Five Great Families of City of Radiance and the nobles who own large mining equipment, this is like black gold everywhere!

Every day, news came back that tribes of all sizes were being attacked by hunters.

More and more of the slaughtered tribes, the homeless, the elderly, the weak, the sick and disabled, came to the Central Courtyard Tribe, and their numbers grew larger and larger.

The feelings of despair and hatred grew stronger.

After advancing in rank, Rein became increasingly busy because more and more wounded soldiers were returning from the front lines, and too many people needed treatment.

On this day, another urgent battle report suddenly arrived.

The Great Shaman summoned the elders for a meeting, saying that a powerful enemy had come from the forest, and that only an "elder-level" expert could stop them.

Rein, acting as an "advisor," also attended the meeting.

But upon hearing it, they were quite shocked.

"What? You're saying that enemy is a very powerful female swordsman, wielding a fishbone light sword and using high-level Ice Law?"

When Rein heard the soldiers brought back from the front describe the enemy's situation, his expression suddenly became very strange.

No matter how he listened, he felt that the "enemy" who had broken into the forest was that Her Highness the Eldest Princess!

Then he realized he had almost forgotten about a task.

That guy named Metternich seems to have asked me to deliver a letter, didn't he?

Is divination really that mysterious?

You actually ran into them?

'eaflon' is rewarded with 10,000 coins, 'Why am I so good-looking' with 1000 coins, [ Zero] with 500 coins, 'Sword in Hand' with 410 coins, 'Gan Liliang', '20201219050021420', 'Kagura Xiuming', and 'Chubby Bear'. Thank you very much.
