It was a moonlit night, and the wind was strong!
Within Wind Stream Tribe's mudstone city, the moaning sound of the wind whistled past. It was as if there was resentment within the wind, lifting up the dust on the ground and causing the moon in the sky to seem a little blurry.
Several figures sped through the mudstone city in the middle of the night. They seemed to be searching for something, but in the end, they were still at a loss. Only when the sky turned white in the distance did these people slowly disperse.
Bei Ling walked back to Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings with an exhausted and pale face. That night, he had lost a large amount of blood at the center of his brows and his body was almost at its weakest. He had also witnessed the short but shocking battle with his own eyes!
The spear that flew through the sky and earth, causing the earth to tremble, and Wu Sen's mad roars constantly echoed in Bei Ling's ears. In Bei Ling's eyes, Wu Sen was Wind Stream Tribe's prodigy. Even if both of them were at the sixth level, Bei Ling knew that he could not win against Wu Sen. In fact … he did not dare to fight him.
Wu Sen did not practice any normal Berserker Method. The statue of the God of Berserkers he worshiped in the past was said to be one of the most mysterious statues in Wind Stream Tribe. He needed to practice it with the aura of corpses and gather his Berserker Blood to turn into a corpse. If he mastered it, he would be invulnerable even if a mountain collapsed and the earth collapsed.
'Then who was the person who fought against Wu Sen..? I can't tell his level of cultivation, but if he could make Wu Sen look so pathetic, then he must be famous. Could it be Black Mountain Tribe …?' Bei Ling's face was dejected. He was the strongest among his peers in Dark Mountain Tribe, but he knew that once he left Dark Mountain Tribe, he was nothing.
Bei Ling returned to his lodgings, to his room, with complicated emotions and the confusion he felt towards the test in the morning. He pushed the door open and walked in, but the moment he stepped in, Bei Ling's entire body trembled. His pupils shrank and all the hairs on his body stood up. He sucked in a breath, and shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
There was a blob of fresh blood floating on the table in his room. That blood was glowing with a faint green light. It flashed and looked incredibly strange. That blood was Bei Ling's Blood Essence, which was forced out of his body when Wu Sen tapped the center of his brows.
Bei Ling was stunned for a moment before he turned around abruptly to look behind him. It was pitch black behind him. It was quiet all around him. His heart pounded against his chest. After a moment of silence, he immediately walked into the room and stared at the familiar blood on the table. His expression kept changing.
"Who … is he..? Why is he helping me..?" After a long while, Bei Ling grabbed the blood. The moment Bei Ling touched it, it immediately fused into his body and turned into a wave of heat, causing Bei Ling to quickly sit down cross-legged and activate his blood.
At the same time, in another room within Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings, Su Ming sat cross-legged on the floor. His face was pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
However, his eyes were extremely bright. He lowered his head to look at the dark green blood in his palm and revealed a cold smile.
'So this is the pride of Wind Stream Tribe. He doesn't allow anyone to suppress him. He can only stand at the top! It's not a big deal. If I can complete the third burning of my blood, then even if I can't kill him with this spear, it won't be difficult for me to injure him! 'Su Ming lifted his hand and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. There was a fierce glint in his eyes.
'I'm only lightly injured. I just need to circulate my Qi to recover. But the Berserker Art this person practices is really strange.' In Su Ming's mind, the image of the burning corpses and the green flames coming from them appeared.
'If I have the chance, I'd like to meet all the pride of God! But judging by how crazy Wu Sen was in the underground cave, this thing must be really important to him! ' Su Ming cast a glance at the dark green blood in his hand and placed it into a small bottle. Then, after some thought, he lifted his hand and seized the air. A ray of moonlight appeared and surrounded the small bottle before disappearing.
Su Ming put the small bottle into his bosom and closed his eyes. He circulated the Qi in his body and waited for morning to arrive.
Time passed by. Very soon, the sky outside was no longer dark. As the white light in the sky grew brighter, morning arrived!
The morning of this day was different from the rest. That was why Wind Stream Tribe hosted the test that was held once every few years. All the small tribes in the area participated in the test!
Every single test was not only a test for the younger Berserkers, it was also a chance for all the tribes to showcase their future. Whether there were any outstanding Berserkers in the tribe would determine the attitude of Wind Stream Tribe when the sun sets.
When morning arrived, Lei Chen, Wu La, and Bei Ling left their lodgings under the lead of the elder, the Head of the Guards, and Shan Hen, together with the guide from Wind Stream Tribe.
Su Ming stood outside the house and watched the group leave. He saw Lei Chen waving at him with confidence on his face. He saw Wu La's calm gaze that had a hint of disdain in her eyes. He saw Bei Ling, who was silent and whose expression had returned to normal, but did not even look at him.
He also saw the elder, who was smiling and nodding with a profound look on his face. He also saw the Head of the Guards, who had a look of pity on his face. Finally, Su Ming saw the quiet Shan Hen sweep his gaze across Su Ming's body with a strange glint in his narrowed eyes before he left.
When these people disappeared into the distance and gradually disappeared from sight, Su Ming continued standing there. However, his body was slowly changing, and so was his face. After a moment, Su Ming turned into a strong young man. His skin was slightly dark, and there was a valiant presence exuding from his body. He was no different from a normal Berserker.
However, the current Su Ming was different from the previous night. The bamboo hat that the elder had given him and fused into his body was incredibly mysterious. He could change his form at will.
Su Ming did not panic as he stood there. Instead, he looked at the sky and waited calmly. He knew that today was important to him, and it was equally important to the elder.
Perhaps Su Ming would be able to fly into the sky today, or perhaps … he would fall into the abyss.
Su Ming did not know whether there was a force that was interfering with the lives of the people and controlling their destinies. He looked at the sky. It was very blue, and the end of the blue sky could not be seen.
"Among all the living beings on the land, who among them can see the end of the sky..?" These were the first few sentences in the beast skin book. When Su Ming first saw it, he had been deeply moved by it, and he had also been confused by it.
"People often use the word 'under the sky'. What is under the sky? If the sky has a spirit, then it will turn into oppression! Oppressing the Berserkers, wanting to make them humiliate themselves … "The words appeared in Su Ming's head.
Sometimes, he felt that the sky really did have a spirit. However, this spirit was too cold. If it was not cold, then why would there be prodigies among the people Su Ming saw, some who were quiet and ordinary, some who were as unparalleled as the elder but had a head full of white, and some who Transcended like the man in purple robes who stood above everyone else?
There were the complicated emotions in Bei Ling's heart, and Wu Sen stealing his power …
"The might of the sky will turn into an invisible form. Bear the pressure and endure it, fusing it with joy … If you are not happy, then you will rise against the will of the heavens?" This was the last sentence in the first few sentences of the beast skin book.
Su Ming still did not understand it. Even now, he only understood a little. He had once asked the elder about it, and the elder's answer was still fresh in his memory!
"This sentence is very simple, but it is also very complicated. The simple meaning is that the heavens are pressing down on us, forcing us Berserkers to either submit to Le You and accept it, or go against the heavens in anger … But the last sentence is a question.
"From what I understand, perhaps this question is whether there are other ways to fight against the heavens besides going against the will of the heavens … When you grow up, perhaps you will be able to understand it deeply. If one day, you can reach the state where you can say this sentence, perhaps you will be able to think of a third way besides obeying and going against the will of the heavens.
"After all, this beast skin book is the last place I went to in my life. It is the largest holy land of the Berserker Tribe that I have ever seen in my life!
"That place is called the Great Yu … The owner of this beast skin book is the Elder of the Great Yu Tribe …"
Su Ming remained silent. He continued looking at the blue sky. After a long while, footsteps came from outside. A person was slowly approaching them. Su Ming averted his gaze from the sky and looked over.
He wore a white robe and had a head full of white hair. His face was old, but there was a hint of wisdom within it. It was Shi Hai!
Shi Hai looked at Su Ming, at the unfamiliar face before him. He did not know why the Elder, Jing Nan, had arranged for him to come to this place and bring a person to participate in the test in secret.
"Come with me." Shi Hai could not see anything strange about Su Ming. Once he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the back.
Su Ming's expression was calm as he followed behind him.
The moment he walked out of the door, Shi Hai waved his arm. Immediately, a layer of fog spread out from his body and enveloped Su Ming in an instant. Su Ming's heart jumped but he did not retreat. He allowed the fog to sweep him up and rise into the sky with Shi Hai. They turned into a fog arc and charged into the distance.
This was the second time Su Ming looked at the ground from the sky. He was still a little nervous. Shi Hai saw his nervousness but did not bother about it. Instead, he increased his speed. Before long, he brought Su Ming past Wind Stream Tribe on the ground and headed towards the vast plains in the north.
Su Ming looked at the vast plains before him. From the sky, it looked like the sea on the ground. There was no end to it. Yet as the fog rushed towards him, after a moment, Su Ming felt his body tremble. It was as if his body had crashed into an invisible barrier. The moment he passed through it, the world around him twisted. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, and Shi Hai's cold voice traveled into his ears.
"We're here!"
This was no longer a flat plain. There was a mountain right before him!
Su Ming had never seen such a huge mountain before! It was much taller than Dark Mountain. Compared to it, Dark Mountain was like a baby, and the mountain was like an iron tower!
It looked as if it could pierce through the clouds. He could not see the peak of the mountain. He could only see half of it. It was surrounded by clouds and fog.
The size of the mountain was unbelievable!
On the mountain, Su Ming could vaguely see an endless amount of stairs leading up the mountain before disappearing into the fog.
At the foot of the mountain was a huge circular field. There were nine majestic statues standing around the field. Each of the statues exuded a primal and savage aura, making them look ferocious.
At that moment, there were already hundreds of people on the giant field. They were spread out and there was a buzz of discussion.
Su Ming's arrival instantly attracted the attention of the hundreds of people on the field. But most of them only took a glance at him before averting their gazes. No one knew what they were discussing.
