Endless Rage

Endless Rage

This was an active skill brought by the Barbarian King Bloodline. Drawing upon rage, it unleashed power beyond one's limits. During the brawl just now, Lu Chen had accumulated enough fury in his chest.

"Endless Rage, activate."

At the command of his thoughts, the pent-up fury in Lu Chen's chest surged straight into his mind.

Then, a force materialized out of nowhere and empowered Lu Chen's body. Under that enhancement, his figure actually shot up by a full head.

At the same time, Lu Chen felt boundless strength well up within him.

"So this is what it feels like to have power!"

However, since this was his first time activating Endless Rage, the sudden surge in strength left Lu Chen with an opening.

Xiao Shi, who had fallen into a frenzied state, naturally would not let such a chance slip by. His fist shot straight at Lu Chen's chest.

"I've won. Sure enough, no matter how he gained such strength, he can't last as long as I can."

Watching his fist draw ever closer to Lu Chen, Xiao Shi felt victory coming nearer and nearer.

Yet that final step was a gulf as vast as the heavens for Xiao Shi, one he would never be able to cross.

Just as the fist was about to land on Lu Chen's chest, a palm darted out from the side and seized Xiao Shi's wrist.

"How is that possible?"

Seeing his fist clamped by tremendous strength, unable to move even an inch, Xiao Shi was truly stunned.

"How can you have such terrifying strength?"

When they had collided and traded blows, Xiao Shi had already acknowledged Lu Chen's strength.

But at the time, he had believed Lu Chen's strength was roughly equal to his own.

Now, however, Lu Chen had directly grabbed his hand and rendered his arm completely immobile. This was far beyond Xiao Shi's expectations.

After all, trading punches and directly grabbing hold of someone were two entirely different levels of difficulty.

At Xiao Shi's astonishment, Lu Chen curled his bloodstained lips into a grin and chuckled softly.

"You're not the only one with an explosive move!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen held Xiao Shi fast with one hand, leaving him unable to dodge, while his other hand suddenly drew back.

Seeing Lu Chen's movement, Xiao Shi, who had always feared nothing, suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart.

"That punch might kill me!"

As he watched Lu Chen's raised right fist draw back high, such a thought abruptly emerged in Xiao Shi's mind.

Because of that thought, he, who had always attacked like a madman, raised one arm before himself.

He defended. As a Barbarian Blood Warrior, it was the first time he had defended against Lu Chen's attack.

And that defense saved his life.

"Boom!"

It was the sound of the air shuddering. Under Endless Rage, Lu Chen's fully drawn right fist tore through the air like an arrow leaving the bowstring and smashed directly into Xiao Shi.

That bronze fist, stained with blood, first struck Xiao Shi's raised right arm.

But Xiao Shi's defense was not very effective.

Endless Rage doubled Lu Chen's strength.

And it was not the strength of an ordinary man that had doubled, but the strength of ten men. Such power was simply not something Xiao Shi could withstand, not even as a Barbarian Blood Warrior!

Amid a sharp crack of shattering bone, Xiao Shi's fist broke outright. Then Lu Chen's fist followed along his shattered arm and slammed into his chest.

As the fist reached him, Xiao Shi felt exactly as Da Shu had before: the power before him was endless, utterly impossible to resist.

That force sent Xiao Shi's body flying into the air.

At the same time, blood spurted continuously from his mouth.

With one punch, Xiao Shi, a Barbarian Blood Warrior, had broken bones and been sent flying. Such was the might of Endless Rage.

Seeing Xiao Shi fly away, Lu Chen had no opponent left before him. Yet Endless Rage still affected him, making him throw back his head and roar at the sky.

"Roar!!!!"

The roar shook the heavens, causing some nearby Barbarians to cover their ears involuntarily.

Only after a long while, when his rage had been exhausted, did Lu Chen recover from Endless Rage.

However, after recovering, Lu Chen was not particularly happy.

"Endless Rage is indeed powerful, but while in that state, my fighting spirit is too fierce. I have no thought of retreating at all."

"And I used my full strength again just now. Xiao Shi won't be in trouble, will he?"

It was not Lu Chen's fault that he had used his full strength this time. Xiao Shi and Da Shu were simply on entirely different levels.

Facing him, Lu Chen had not dared hold back at all and could only activate Endless Rage.

But Xiao Shi was the Clan Chief's son after all. Lu Chen also feared that killing him with one punch would bring consequences.

Just as Lu Chen was worrying, Witch Doctor Master quickly ran to Xiao Shi's side. After examining him briefly, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, he blocked some of it. Although his arm is broken and his internal organs are injured, as long as the medicine is used properly, with the physique of a Barbarian Blood Warrior, he will recover in a month."

Hearing this, both the Clan Chief and Lu Chen let out sighs of relief. As long as he was not dead, it was fine.

But soon, Lu Chen found himself marveling at this world's medical treatment and the constitution of Barbarian Blood Warriors.

"Broken bones and internal bleeding, yet he only needs a month to recover. As expected, the people of this world are monstrously strong."

"Still, besides the sturdy physiques of Barbarian Blood Warriors, it must also have something to do with the herbs in this world being nourished by spiritual energy and providing immense benefits to the body."

While Lu Chen was thinking, the Witch Doctor walked over to him. Looking at Lu Chen, he spoke with delight, "Very good, A'Chen. You've given me a tremendous surprise!"

The Clan Chief's expression, however, was somewhat complicated. The one defeated just now was his son, after all. Though he had anticipated this day, he had not expected it to come so soon.

Still, the Clan Chief soon let out a breath.

He thought of how, over the past three days, the strange things appearing at night had grown increasingly numerous. Though they could still cope for now, if this continued, he no longer had the confidence to protect the village.

Disaster could descend upon the village at any moment.

At such a critical juncture, the appearance of a genius like Lu Chen truly gave him a measure of relief.

The better Lu Chen performed, the more reassured he felt. Of course, it would have been even better if the defeated one had not been his son.

"Congratulations, A'Chen!"

"Thank you, Clan Chief."

"Alright, A'Chen, go rest for a while."

Lu Chen soon stepped down from the arena.

But this time, as he left the field, countless young Barbarian Tribe men and women followed his every movement with their eyes.

The Barbarian Tribe worshipped the strong. Lu Chen's performance, his overwhelming strength and physique, had made the others recognize his genius.

However, though Lu Chen had stepped down, the battles in the arena continued.

To be honest, though, the remaining fights were rather dull. This was not the Central Plains, and there were not many martial techniques here. All they could rely on were their physiques and strength.

Thus, brawls like the one between Lu Chen and Xiao Shi occurred often here, though none of them fought with the same intensity as Lu Chen and Xiao Shi.

At the same time, none of those remaining dared challenge Lu Chen.

It could not be helped. Though Xiao Shi was usually somewhat arrogant, his position as number one had been earned through real fights. Since even Xiao Shi had been so thoroughly defeated, no one else dared make a move.

The Barbarian Tribe youth named Arrow had never been convinced by Xiao Shi, but he knew very well that he had always been slightly weaker than Xiao Shi.

Even Xiao Shi had lost so miserably. After hesitating for a while, he ultimately chose not to act.

And so, after only two battles—one intimidating the youths qualified to challenge him, and the other intimidating the elite youths of the Barbarian Tribe—Lu Chen claimed the title of Barbarian Bull Village's number one youth.

And this meant that from then on, his treatment within the village would greatly improve.

At the same time, some of the village's resources would also be supplied to him as a priority.
