Because this advancement involves dual classes, Lu Chen is currently in a precarious situation.
If he were advancing in a normal place, Lu Chen would be like he was three days ago, having his life essence extracted by the system, becoming skin and bones, or even dying directly from the exhaustion of energy and flesh essence.
Fortunately, this time, Lu Chen was more careful. His advancement is taking place in the Witch Doctor Master's room, and this has given Lu Chen a chance to survive.
No, it should be said that he fought for this opportunity himself.
Without hesitation, when the person ranked second in line was about to receive the medicinal soup, Lu Chen rushed over directly, snatched the bowl from the Witch Doctor Master's hand, and drank the soup straight down.
Then, still feeling it wasn't enough, Lu Chen directly dove onto the soup pot, disregarding the heat of the hot soup, and gulped down the medicinal soup.
Lu Chen's actions directly stunned everyone in the room, and even the Witch Doctor Master became furious.
"A'Chen, what are you doing...? Wait, this is..."
The furious Witch Doctor Master was originally going to stop Lu Chen, but soon, he noticed something was wrong. Lu Chen's exposed skin was rapidly turning red, a sign of extremely rapid blood flow.
Even blood mist appeared in the room.
This display quickly calmed the knowledgeable Witch Doctor Master.
"Reddening of the body, spreading of blood mist, this is what happens when advancing to a Barbarian Blood Warrior. A'Chen is advancing to a Barbarian Blood Warrior, good, very good."
The Witch Doctor Master would naturally be angry at the unprovoked snatching of the medicinal soup.
But now, realizing that Lu Chen was doing it to replenish the deficit from his advancement, the Witch Doctor Master naturally wouldn't be angry. In fact, not only would he not be angry, but he also hoped that Lu Chen could drink even more.
However, while the Witch Doctor Master was happy, the other Barbarian youths in the room who had their soup snatched away felt miserable.
"Even if you're advancing, you don't need to drink so much, right?"
"That's right, Xiao Shi didn't drink that much when he advanced!"
Seeing that the soup was about to be finished by Lu Chen, the others couldn't help but speak up.
To this, the Witch Doctor Master simply laughed.
"Shut up, what do you know? When those who have awakened their bloodline advance, the bloodline will give a bonus to the body, making those who have awakened their bloodline even stronger, and this also requires more energy to be consumed."
After saying this, the Witch Doctor Master actually looked at Lu Chen with a "benevolent" expression.
"Drink, drink as much as you can."
Under the Witch Doctor Master's protection, Lu Chen drank all the medicinal soup in one go. Even the medicinal herbs at the bottom of the pot, as well as the bones of the Barbarian Beast, were chewed up and swallowed by Lu Chen.
When a pot of medicinal soup was completely drunk and digested by Lu Chen, turning into a warm current flowing through his body, Lu Chen finally felt like he had survived.
However, while he felt comfortable, the others in the room, watching the soup being completely swept away, felt a kind of indescribable misery.
And just as they were looking at Lu Chen, Lu Chen also let out a breath and raised his head.
After making eye contact with the others, Lu Chen realized what he had done.
To be honest, looking at the resentful gazes of the others, Lu Chen was still very embarrassed. However, before Lu Chen could apologize, an accident happened.
Those resentful gazes reflected in Lu Chen's eyes, and a wave in his mind suddenly erupted.
Just like a king's dignity being provoked and automatically activated, that wave was overbearing and sharp, instantly dominating the area.
Under that wave, Lu Chen himself didn't feel anything yet.
But the others in the room suddenly felt like they were being targeted by a natural enemy, or like they were looking up at a high mountain.
Everyone in the room felt that Lu Chen's body suddenly became taller, like a giant, and exuded endless power.
At the same time, under that power, the hearts of the Barbarian youths seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. All the Barbarian youths felt their hearts beating slowly, their vision went black, and they even had the urge to prostrate themselves before Lu Chen.
Under such circumstances, strong individuals like Arrow and the Witch Doctor Master were still alright, only feeling discomfort in their hearts and blackness in their vision, while the other ordinary Barbarian youths rolled their eyes and actually fainted.
This scene startled Lu Chen, and as his mental fluctuations fluctuated, that domineering aura that suppressed everything also dissipated.
As the Conqueror's Haki dissipated, Arrow, who had been able to resist just now, suddenly squatted on the ground, gasping for breath. Obviously, although he had been able to withstand it, his situation was not very good either.
However, now, Lu Chen didn't have time to pay attention to him. Immediately, Lu Chen looked at the Witch Doctor Master and quickly said to him, "I'm sorry, Witch Doctor Master, I didn't do it on purpose."
Lu Chen explained this way because he was afraid of being regarded as an Evil Soul by the Witch Doctor Master and being completely dispelled.
Fortunately, the Witch Doctor Master didn't make any attacking movements. However, the way he looked at Lu Chen was already glowing.
That kind of extremely satisfied gaze made Lu Chen feel a pressure.
Finally, Lu Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "Witch Doctor Master, let's treat the others first."
"Yes, let's save the others first."
The group in the room had only fainted and were not seriously injured. Soon, the Witch Doctor Master used a herb with an extremely pungent smell to wake them up.
However, the Barbarian youths, now awake and rational, looked at Lu Chen with some fear, their eyes darting away, not daring to meet his gaze.
Even Arrow, who was already a Barbarian Blood Warrior, was the same.
Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't say much and left.
However, before leaving, the Witch Doctor Master stopped Lu Chen again.
"Wait, I remember you haven't been on patrol for several days, right? You probably don't have much food at home. I have some meat here, take it."
Looking at the hundred or so pounds of cured wild boar meat that the Witch Doctor Master was pointing at, Lu Chen was shocked.
"Witch Doctor Master, this is too precious."
"Compared to you, this food is nothing. Listen to me, take it, don't feel burdened. If you want to repay me, work hard to improve your strength. Your strength improving is the best repayment you can give me."
"Here, take it and eat it first. If it's not enough, come and ask me for more."
The enthusiastic Witch Doctor was clearly amazed by Lu Chen's talent.
Knocking others unconscious with just his aura, the Witch Doctor hadn't seen such talent in many years. At this time, the Witch Doctor had completely accepted Lu Chen and regarded him as the village's savior, which is why he gave Lu Chen so many things.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen didn't refuse. As he said before, he wasn't a pretentious person. Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't just accept the benefits.
"In the future, these things, and Uncle Da Zhuang's deer legs, I will pay them all back, ten times, a hundred times over."
And so, carrying half a side of pork, Lu Chen quickly returned home.
