Before long, a lot of people from other tribes other than Dark Mountain Tribe arrived. These people either came with their tribes or came alone.
Gradually, the number of people in the field increased. Sounds of discussion could be heard among the crowd. It was very lively.
After all, this kind of grand ceremony only happened once every few years. The number of people this time was much higher than in previous years.
Su Ming took advantage of the fact that there were a lot of people around and quickly walked into the crowd to avoid the old man who refused to let go of him. The old man's torrent of words gave Su Ming a headache. Once he avoided him, he saw the old man looking around through the crowd. He quickly lowered his body, not wanting to be seen by the old man.
There may be a lot of people there, but Su Ming did not recognize any of them. He looked very normal when he stood in the crowd. No one would pay too much attention to him. He looked very normal.
In truth, it was not just Su Ming. Besides the people from Wind Stream Tribe, there were many other candidates from other tribes in the crowd. It was also the first time for many of them.
"Look, that's Wu Sen! I heard he's a prodigy from Wind Stream Tribe. "
"Isn't that Chen Chong? His name is well-known. I've heard of him before, but this is the first time I've seen him. I didn't expect him to be like this, but he sure has an imposing presence."
"Did you see Bei Ling from Dark Mountain Tribe? I heard that he's not an ordinary person. He got into the top 50 during the previous test. If we can make friends with him, it'll be good for us. When we go back to the tribe, we'll be the envy of many."
The people around Su Ming who were also first-timers started discussing among themselves. Most of them looked envious.
"This might be our chance. If Wu Sen or Chen Chong takes a fancy to us and chooses to follow them, then our place in the tribe will be different."
"Heh, there are quite a lot of people who have the same idea. Don't you see that there are a lot of people around them who want to talk to them? Why don't we try as well? Lad, you're alone here. This must be your first time here as well, right? "There was a young man with an honest face standing by Su Ming's side, and he smiled at him.
Su Ming smiled politely and chatted with the young man for a while.
"Brother, not all the people are here yet, but it looks like the first stage is about to start. Why don't we go to Chen Chong's place and talk to him? What about you guys? "Let's go together, or else if we're alone, they might ignore us," the young man quickly said and tried to persuade Su Ming and the people beside him.
"Look at that Wu Sen's gloomy expression. He must be in a bad mood. Let's not provoke him. This Chen Chong looks very straightforward. He should be easy to get along with." The young man's words moved the surrounding people. In the end, seven or eight people walked toward where Chen Chong was.
Su Ming originally did not want to go, but when he was dragged along by the enthusiastic young man, he followed the crowd.
Just as they moved forward, the space outside the square distorted again, attracting everyone's attention. As the space distorted, five people walked in. The leader of the five was a burly man who looked to be in his forties. He was dressed in coarse hemp clothes and looked extremely muscular. There was a shocking feeling of Qi and blood circulating around his body.
There was a distinct scar on his face that extended diagonally from his left eyebrow to the right corner of his mouth, making him look extremely sinister and terrifying.
"It's Black Mountain Tribe. This person … could he be the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe? I heard that the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe has an evil scar on his face. It must be him."
"That's right. I heard that the Elder of Black Mountain Tribe didn't come this time. The tribe leader is leading them."
There were four people following behind the burly man. They walked slowly towards the square. At first glance, the four people looked normal, but if anyone took a closer look, it would not be difficult to tell that three of the four people were young men of the same generation, and the last one was a burly man in his forties.
Yet strangely, the man and the other two young men were surrounding the other young man as if they were his subordinates. Even their footsteps instinctively did not exceed the young man's.
The young man was dressed in a black beast skin shirt. He had long hair and looked to be about 18 or 19 years old. His face could not be seen clearly, because his shirt was pulled up high above his chest. The black beast skin shirt covered everything below his eyes. He also had his head lowered, so his face could not be seen clearly.
That person was silent. He did not react to the gazes from all directions. He walked into the crowd with the tribe leader and sat down cross-legged in a corner far away from Dark Mountain Tribe.
From where they sat, it could be seen that the young man was different. He sat alone, as if he did not fit in with the other tribe members. Yet once he sat down, he lifted his head slightly and looked in the direction of Dark Mountain Tribe. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Su Ming's gaze was focused on the people from Black Mountain Tribe, just like the tribe leader and the obviously eccentric young man. They caught Su Ming's attention.
Su Ming was not surprised by the strength of the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe, but the eccentric young man gave Su Ming a sense of danger. He was almost certain that this person was not an ordinary person.
Yet in his heart, he was disgusted by this sort of act of pretending to be profound. In comparison, Su Ming even felt that Wu Sen was much stronger than this person in this aspect. At the very least, Wu Sen would not act so mysteriously.
The arrival of Black Mountain Tribe did not stir up much discussion. Compared to them, the people were more interested in the prodigies from Wind Stream Tribe. After all, these people were famous in the area.
With the enthusiastic young man by his side, Su Ming walked towards the prodigy of Wind Stream Tribe, Chen Chong, who was surrounded by a group of people. When he stood with so many people, he looked so inconspicuous and normal that no one would spare him a second glance.
"I'm telling you, I never go to those places in the tribe. Even if I go, I'll at most just watch the show. You don't believe me?"
Once they got closer, Su Ming saw Chen Chong gesturing with his hands as he spoke to the people beside him. His words caused the people around him to laugh, but most of the laughter was filled with flattery.
Even the people around them who wanted to get to know Chen Chong started laughing instinctively, as if they wanted to use their laughter to blend into the group.
The young man and the others beside Su Ming were doing the same. Their laughter did not stop. Su Ming stood there and smiled. His heart was calm as he looked at Chen Chong, who was surrounded by the crowd. Chen Chong's status was very high, and he could not compare to him.
Looking at the few people around him, who were constantly trying to blend into this circle with laughter and even hurriedly introducing themselves when they found an opportunity, even though there was no flattering expression on their faces, anyone could see the desire in their bones to interact with them.
It was at that moment that Dark Dragon Tribe walked into the field. Their appearance should not have attracted much discussion. After all, Dark Dragon Tribe was very small and could not compare to Black Mountain Tribe's fame.
Yet the moment Dark Dragon Tribe appeared, even Chen Chong, who was chatting and laughing, and Wu Sen, who was meditating in the distance with a sullen expression, lifted their heads to look.
The young man in black robes from Black Mountain Tribe who had half of his face covered and was pretending to be mysterious, and almost all the Berserkers around them also looked over.
What they saw was a beautiful girl dressed in white among the people of the Dark Dragon Tribe! The crystal at the center of the girl's brows shone brightly under the sunlight. There was a wildness to her beauty that could make people's hearts race.
She was Bai Ling.
Bai Ling's face turned red when she was stared at by so many people but she did not lower her head. Instead, she quickly scanned through the crowd. Once she found Dark Mountain Tribe, joy immediately appeared on her face. Yet when she took a closer look, the joy faded away. She did not find Su Ming.
She lowered her head and followed behind the Elder and old woman from Dark Dragon Tribe towards the field.
At that moment, she did not notice that there was a normal looking boy in the crowd in the distance. There was nothing special about him. He was looking at her quietly.
She also did not notice that when the young man in black robes from Black Mountain Tribe who was pretending to be mysterious saw her, a hint of desire and greed appeared in his eyes.
Wu Sen glanced at Bai Ling, then closed his eyes. Although Bai Ling was peerless, Wu Sen was not moved in the slightest. At this moment, the anxiety in his heart made it impossible for him to have any thoughts about other things.
Su Ming looked at the beautiful face and stood there silently. He suddenly felt that the distance between him and Bai Ling was very, very far …
"Bai Ling!" A cheerful voice came from near Su Ming. The voice was not loud but it spread out and fell into Bai Ling's ears.
"Big brother Chen Chong." Bai Ling lifted her head and saw Chen Chong walking out of the crowd. A smile appeared on her face but there was still sadness hidden under that smile.
Chen Chong laughed. Most of the people in front of him moved aside. Su Ming stood there and did not move. He watched Chen Chong walk past him towards Bai Ling.
As he watched, Su Ming closed his eyes. He did not know what he should be feeling at that moment. He only felt that he was very calm.
With his eyes closed, he ignored everything around him until someone grabbed his arm and swung it excitedly.
"Ye Wang! It's Ye Wang! "
"Look! That's Ye Wang, the strongest among the younger generation in Wind Stream Tribe! Ye Wang! "
"The Ye Wang who obtained first place in all three stages of the test twice in a row! He's so talented that he's the strongest in the area. I heard that he's the one with the highest possibility of reaching the Transcendence Realm among our generation. The entire Wind Stream Tribe is also training him with everything they have! He's the future Elder of Wind Stream Tribe! "
Su Ming opened his eyes and saw a person walking towards him from the field in the distance.
That person wore a red robe. He did not have Wu Sen's gloominess, Chen Chong's crowd surrounding him, nor did he have the mysterious facade of the young man in black robes from Black Mountain Tribe. He walked alone towards them.
