When Su Ming heard those words, he was shocked. He had a vague understanding of the relationship between the elder and the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe. It was not what he thought it was. There was a high possibility that there was some sort of past conflict between the two of them.
It was precisely because of this that the elder did not want to come to Wind Stream all these years was partially related to this. At the same time, the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe must have been wary of the elder, which was why he was so polite to him even though he was only at the Blood Solidification Realm.
The image of the elder and the man in purple walking on the dark python appeared in Su Ming's mind. His heart started pounding uncontrollably against his chest.
"You'll know in the future." The elder did not answer. He only said those words slowly and brought Su Ming out of the pentagonal altar.
Inside the altar, Jing Nan was silent. He looked in the direction that Mo Sang had left in and his expression gradually darkened. After a long while, he took out a small bottle from his bosom. The small bottle was purple in color and looked extremely beautiful. Moreover, since it was something that he carried around with him, it was obviously extremely precious to him.
When he opened the bottle, a medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils. There was a medicinal pill inside!
Scattering Dust!
'It's a pity there's only one pill … One pill won't have much effect on me. If only I could get eight more …' A hint of desire appeared in Jing Nan's eyes.
'I must find the Fallen Berserker who created this pill! I must find him at all costs … I've already locked down the entire area. He won't be able to escape!
I can feel him nearby. He's very close to me … '
It was already dusk outside. The mudstone city was about to be enveloped by moonlight but there were still a lot of tribe members in the city. The city seemed to be bustling with activity. There were also many places where fires were lit. Those fires were placed in items that Su Ming had never seen before. They floated in midair and illuminated the entire city.
The elder walked in front and Su Ming followed behind him. The two of them were silent.
"Seven days later will be the day of Wind Stream's test. The test is hosted by Wind Stream Tribe. All the small tribes who came to pay their respects must send their people to participate. It's a grand ceremony for the younger generation like you!
Elder hopes that you can participate. You don't have to worry about exposing your cultivation. Elder will make the arrangements. You just have to take this item. Other than Jingnan, no one else will know it's you.
"Su Ming, that's all I can do to help you. You'll have to rely on yourself in the future …" The elder patted Su Ming's head and spoke kindly. He lifted his right hand and waved it casually. Immediately, a faint presence of Qi appeared on the elder's body. Then, a black straw hat made of weeds appeared in the elder's hand.
"I obtained this from a large tribe in the past. It can be considered as a Berserker Vessel. If you fuse it with your Berserker Blood, it can slightly change your body and appearance. It might not change much, but it will make you look like a completely different person. It was something I liked a lot when I was young.
This item has been with me for many years. Now, it is no longer of any use to me. I will give it to you. " The elder took the black straw hat and slapped it on Su Ming's body. Immediately, Su Ming felt his entire body tremble. It was as if a chill had seeped into his body. The straw hat disappeared in an instant.
Yet even if it disappeared, Su Ming could still feel his emotions. It was as if the item had fused into his body, just like the replica of Blood Scales. Soon after, the elder told Su Ming how to use the bamboo hat to change his body shape into the bamboo hat.
"During the test, stay in your house. Don't follow us. Once we leave, change your body. I will arrange for someone to bring you to participate in the test in secret." The elder smiled faintly.
Su Ming wanted to say something but hesitated for a moment. He did not speak, but he made up his mind. This time, even if he had to give it his all, he would not let the elder down!
'Top 40 … Top 40!' Su Ming gritted his teeth.
"Su Ming, since you were young, I've taught you to think more and think more. This will be of great help to you in the future … Now, I will give you another question. Let's see if our little La Su can figure it out …" The elder turned his head and looked at Su Ming kindly. He winked and smiled.
"Listen up, Su Ming. I will only tell you once. 32, 79, 248, 371, 563, 781!"
Su Ming was stunned. He mumbled the six numbers but could not figure out the meaning behind them. He looked at the elder's smile. It seemed like the elder did not intend to tell him directly. Su Ming memorized the six numbers and fell into deep thought.
The moonlight shone on their bodies and gradually elongated their shadows. Su Ming and the elder walked further and further away …
Time passed by and it was already midnight six days later. Wind Stream Tribe's grand ceremony was about to begin in the morning …
During these six days, Su Ming stayed in the single house that Wind Stream Tribe had given to Dark Mountain Tribe. He was very careful as he meditated and circulated the Qi in his body. He always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him, but he did not notice it.
Su Ming's training was interrupted as he was being watched. Every single time the strange feeling was at its strongest, he would just lie down and give up on training. He would close his eyes and sleep while thinking about the six numbers in his head. He could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
It was not until the fifth day that the feeling of being watched completely disappeared. Su Ming was very nervous about it. He had tried to guess who was watching him. A few people appeared in his head but he could not be sure.
During these few days, Lei Chen came to look for Su Ming a few times. The rest of the time, he stayed with Wu La and trained before the test under the elder's guidance. Yet with his personality, after training for a while, he would drag Su Ming out and walk around the mudstone city. Sometimes, if Su Ming did not want to go out, Lei Chen would go out by himself. Every single time he came back, there would be a mysterious look on his face.
No matter how Su Ming looked at it, his expression was somewhat familiar …
"Su Ming, you don't know. There's such a place in the mudstone city … I've never seen so many women in my life …"
"Su Ming, there's a type of water here. They call it wine. The taste … Why don't you try it?"
"Su Ming, guess what I saw today. I saw the people from Black Mountain Tribe coming here. They brought their tribe members here. It was a black cloud but the Elder of Black Mountain Tribe didn't come. I heard that the leader of the tribe was the one leading them."
"Su Ming, stop sleeping. Listen to me. I met a member of Black Mountain Tribe today. He's about the same age as us. That boy was really arrogant. If it wasn't for the fact that we're not allowed to fight here, I would've beaten him up!"
"Su Ming, I saw Bai Ling today! Don't you think it's strange? Could it be that she was really fooled by us? She didn't even ask me about the stone coins. But when she saw me, she asked you about it. "
"Su Ming, I found out that I like someone … She's the person I told you about yesterday. Didn't you see Bai Ling? There's a girl beside her. She's also from Dark Dragon Tribe. She's curvy and much prettier than Bai Ling …"
"Su Ming, I finally know what her name is. Her name is Bai Fang. What a nice name …"
During the past few days, Lei Chen would tell Su Ming about what he saw and what was on his mind. It was especially so during the last few days. Almost all he talked about was the girl called Bai Fang.
As for Bei Ling, he often went out. Even if he stayed in his house, there would be many young men from Branch Stream Tribe who came to look for him. They seemed to be very friendly.
However, on the sixth night, when Su Ming walked out of his house and looked at the moon in the sky, he saw Bei Ling, who was being dragged away by Wind Stream Tribe, looking reluctant.
"I don't want to go today …" Bei Ling hesitated for a moment outside the gate before he spoke in a low voice.
"You don't want to go? That's fine. But Bei Ling, Wu Sen personally asked you to join our ceremony. If you don't join, then you won't be able to get the Elder's Berserker Blood!
Don't forget how you managed to get into the top 50 last time. " The Wind Stream Tribe member who dragged Bei Ling out was a young man about 18 or 19 years old. He spoke slowly with a smile on his face.
There were two other people by his side. They also looked at Bei Ling with disdain.
Bei Ling remained silent and nodded slowly. He walked out with the three people and disappeared into the night.
Su Ming watched from afar and frowned slightly. He fell into deep thought and looked at the moon in the sky before he walked out of the gate slowly.
"Wu Sen …" Su Ming remembered that Bei Ling had mentioned this name before. It was said that he was one of the three strongest youths in Wind Stream Tribe. Almost everyone agreed that he would definitely get into the top three in all three stages during the test.
Bei Ling's words about this person were simple. He did not go into too much detail and instead quickly introduced the next person.
Su Ming's body slowly changed as he walked through the darkness of the brightly lit mudstone city. After a moment, he grew seven inches taller, and his body became much stronger. Even his hair grew longer, and his face turned from a delicate and pretty boy to a simple and unsophisticated man. There was a valiant air about him, and he looked no different from a normal frail tribe member.
Even his clothes changed. It was a strange sight.
Su Ming moved his body. He did not feel any discomfort. It was the same as usual. As he circulated the Qi in his body, the 49 blood veins did not appear on his skin. However, a powerful presence erupted from his body.
'Under the moonlight … even those at the fifth level of the Blood Solidification Realm are no match for me … With Blood Scales … even those at the sixth level of the Blood Solidification Realm can't do anything to me!' Su Ming's eyes flashed. He lifted his head and looked at the moon before he walked forward.
'Bei Ling has just entered the sixth level of the Blood Solidification Realm. As for his father and the chief of the hunters, they're both at the eighth level. It's rare for someone to reach the eighth level among the younger generation. They can definitely surpass their peers. Wu Sen and the other two are at the same level. I'm certain that he won't be at the eighth level!' Su Ming did not walk quickly. He walked in a secretive manner. He only walked to dark corners. He looked at Bei Ling and the other three from afar and followed them.
'The other three are only at the fifth level of the Blood Solidification Realm. But judging by Bei Ling's fearful expression, Wu Sen's power must be higher than him. Higher than the sixth level, but weaker than the eighth level. I'm 80% sure that Wu Sen is at the seventh level of the Blood Solidification Realm!'
'I might not be able to win against him at the seventh level, but under the moonlight, even if we fight, he won't be able to keep me here.' Su Ming was very confident in his speed.
He followed behind not because he was curious, but because of Bei Ling's unwilling expression. It reminded him of Bei Ling, who he used to call his brother when he was young. With mixed feelings, he followed slowly.
Time passed by. The moon hung high in the sky. Bei Ling and the other three disappeared into a normal mudstone house. It was a very secluded place. It was located in a corner of the mudstone city.
