Su Ming left.
As he left, the crowd in the field also gradually dispersed. They hurriedly followed the leaders of their tribes back to Wind Stream City.
The first stage of the test ended there. After a night of rest, the second stage of the test would be held the next morning. The second stage of the test may not be a real battle, but it was highly related to the participants' levels of power.
In the past, there were many people who only participated in the first stage and did not participate in the remaining two stages. However, these people were mostly ranked beyond the top 50. There had never been a person who did not participate in the remaining two stages after getting into the top 10 of the first stage of the test.
That was why the conversation between Su Ming and Ye Wang had stirred up a storm in the hearts of the people in the field. However, no one talked about it. They only watched Su Ming leave quietly.
It was especially so for the participants who were prepared to participate in the test the next morning. They had to seize the time and use the night to train so that they could maintain their peak condition and get rid of some of the injuries caused by the pressure in the first stage.
Chen Chong and the others were also injured quite badly because they had forced their way through the first stage. They needed the help of the powerful Berserkers in their tribe to recover to their peak condition the next morning.
Even the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe, Jing Nan, did not have much free time. Ye Wang's forceful absorption of his Berserker Blood would leave behind a great hidden injury. He had to take care of it.
When they came, Shi Hai was the one who brought Su Ming. When they left, it was the same. Shi Hai looked as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent. With a wave of his arm, he swept Su Ming away from the place and rushed towards Wind Stream City.
As the crowd dispersed, the field became even more deserted. Mo Sang stood there with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Jing Nan to say something.
Jing Nan's face was no longer dark. He frowned and fell into silence for a long time before he looked at Mo Sang.
"The first request you made when you used the Ancestral Berserker Art was for Dark Mountain Tribe to join Wind Stream Tribe when you think it's suitable and receive Wind Stream's protection.
'Your goal is nothing more than to give Black Mountain Tribe's Bi Tu a chance. A chance for your tribe's defenses to be greatly weakened after three powerful warriors from Dark Mountain Tribe left in one go …
If Bi Tu comes to Wind Stream, you can take the chance to observe the changes in his power. If he doesn't come, then it means that there is something unfathomable about his power. Your plan of killing two birds with one stone is ruthless! "Jing Nan looked at Mo Sang and enunciated each word clearly.
"I didn't intend to hide it from you," Mose said with a smile.
"If Bi Tu comes, you can change your plan. If he doesn't come, you can leave behind an empty tribe and lure him to attack … In fact, I'm certain that you have a backup plan in the tribe. If Bi Tu really invades Dark Mountain Tribe, then due to the promise we made, Dark Mountain Tribe will become Wind Stream's subsidiary tribe. Bi Tu will be wary of you. You also know Bi Tu's personality. If he has just reached a breakthrough in his power, he will definitely be arrogant, and I … will have to attack, or else Wind Stream will lose all its prestige in the area. If we can't even protect a subsidiary tribe, then people will think that we're afraid of Bi Tu." Jing Nan spoke slowly. In truth, he had already thought of these things when he was talking to Mo Sang in the chamber, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he wanted to leave it there and think about it carefully in the future so that he could make Mo Sang pay an even greater price. Now … he had found that price!
"That's right. That's what I was thinking. It's a pity that Bi Tu didn't attack." Mo Sang frowned slightly and looked at Jing Nan.
There was a complicated look in Jing Nan's eyes as he met Mo Sang's gaze. After a long while, he sighed softly.
"If it wasn't for the fact that you look so different from that child, I would really think that he's your blood." Jing Nan lifted his head and looked in the direction where Su Ming had disappeared.
"In my heart, he's my blood." A nostalgic look flashed briefly in Mo Sang's eyes as he spoke softly.
"Mo Sang, when it comes to intelligence, I can't compare to you … This has nothing to do with our levels of cultivation. I knew it when I was young … You knew that I would see through the hidden meaning behind your request. You also knew that with my personality, I wouldn't immediately refute you but would wait for the right time to ask for more benefits …
"You knew all of this. That's why you pushed the benefits right before my eyes so that I couldn't help but be tempted … Everything you did was not just for the tribe, but also for this child …"
"You knew how outstanding Su Ming was a long time ago!" Jing Nan spoke slowly.
Mo Sang looked at Jing Nan and smiled without saying a word.
"You asked him to hide his identity and appear in this place with a different appearance to show off his potential so that I could see it … By doing so, even if Dark Mountain Tribe becomes an affiliated tribe, he wouldn't be affected." You gave him another path … a path that you didn't choose in the past … "Jing Nan's expression became even more complicated as he looked at Mo Sang.
"You know that Wind Stream doesn't care about prodigies appearing in the tribes around us. In fact, Wind Stream Tribe hopes that a young prodigy will appear in other tribes. Because once such a person appears, Wind Stream will immediately bring that person over and make him a member of Wind Stream. It will also bring great benefits to his original tribe.
"Many people don't understand this, because Wind Stream is jealous of talent. Even if we explain it, no one will believe us. Only you … know the truth! "You know the truth, but you still asked him to hide his appearance. It's for his own good. After all, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Adding a layer of concealment is a form of protection for him. At the same time, you don't want him to have to bear the fate of being affiliated to us.
"When he grows up in the future, even if his identity is revealed, it's fine. At that time, he will already have the ability to catch everyone's attention. He can also protect Dark Mountain Tribe, which is affiliated to us." Jing Nan looked at the few people left in the field and spoke slowly.
"You've succeeded. I'm very interested in this child. Let him stay in Wind Stream. I'll give him the same help I gave Ye Wang. It's just like I told you before. Between him and Ye Wang, whoever Transcends first will be the Berserker Son of Wind Stream!
"Even if he's later than Ye Wang, with his potential, I'll still make him a prodigy! He'll open up Wind Stream with Ye Wang! "As for Dark Mountain Tribe … Once the test ends, come to Wind Stream. That Bi Tu won't dare stop you. If he forcefully attacks, I'll let him know that even though we're both in the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm, there's still a huge difference between us!" As Jing Nan spoke, he lifted his right hand and waved it at Mo Sang. Instantly, a small bottle flew towards Mo Sang.
"There are three drops of Berserker Blood in there. The extra drop is my gift to Su Ming for our first meeting!" Jing Nan cast a profound look at Mo Sang, then turned around and took a step towards the sky. He still had to help Ye Wang organize his Berserker Blood that night.
Mo Sang watched Jing Nan leave, then looked at the bottle containing the three drops of Berserker Blood. A contemplative look appeared in his eyes. Jing Nan's words were mostly correct, but there was one thing he was wrong about. Mo Sang did not expect that Su Ming would be able to reach such a rank.
His original plan was to use the mystery of Su Ming's identity to make Jing Nan suspicious and make guesses. Then, he would pay a huge price to make Jing Nan agree to let Su Ming stay in Wind Stream.
After all, he understood that Wind Stream Tribe was determined to walk out of this place and become stronger. They would not give up on any chance, even if it was just a guess …
Yet Mo Sang did not expect that Su Ming would be able to reach such a rank. Because of that, his conversation with Jing Nan immediately turned from passive to active.
The difference of one word was huge!
'Perhaps this time … the disaster facing Dark Mountain Tribe isn't impossible to solve …' A glint appeared in Mo Sang's eyes and he walked towards the people from Dark Mountain Tribe who were waiting in the distance.
In the sky beyond Wind Stream Mountain, Shi Hai brought Su Ming with him as he charged towards the mudstone city. Both of them did not say a single word as they flew in the air.
Su Ming was silent. Shi Hai was filled with mixed feelings. He would occasionally look at Su Ming. This was a normal person who he had personally brought to the field. He originally did not pay any attention to him. Yet now, after witnessing Su Ming's unbelievable rise in power over the past few days, Shi Hai's attitude was forcefully changed.
'This is a prodigy who can compare to Ye Wang!' Shi Hai thought in his heart.
Before long, the outline of Wind Stream Tribe gradually appeared on the land in the distance. The gigantic mudstone city came into view. At that moment, Su Ming suddenly spoke.
His voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, but it still traveled clearly into Shi Hai's ears.
"Senior, there's something I don't understand. You haven't Transcended yet, how can you fly in the sky?"
If it was before, Shi Hai would definitely have ignored him and acted as if he did not hear him. Yet now, after a moment of hesitation, he slowly opened his mouth to explain.
"The flight of those in the Transcendence Realm is different from mine. I can fly in the sky partly because of my Berserker Vessel and partly because of my Berserker Mark that has yet to solidify.
"My Berserker Mark is a cloud." As Shi Hai spoke, a vague picture of a cloud appeared at the center of his brows.
"More accurately speaking, those in the Transcendence Realm can walk in the world with their own strength. As for me, I can only float in the air. It might seem the same, but there's a huge difference between us," Shi Hai explained in detail.
A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He asked a few more questions. As he spoke with Shi Hai, the two of them returned to the mudstone city. He put Su Ming down and a smile appeared on Shi Hai's face. He nodded at Su Ming before he turned into a white cloud and left.
The giant field at the foot of Wind Stream Mountain was now empty. There were only nine statues, and eight of them had a person sitting cross-legged on them. They were all the powerful Berserkers of Wind Stream Tribe. Before long, Shi Hai returned and sat down on the ninth statue.
Since the seal on Wind Stream Mountain had been activated, it would take some time for it to close. The nine of them were the guardians of the place. They could only leave once the seal was completely closed.
It had always been the same in the past …
Yet this year, it was a little strange. A person in black had appeared on the empty field at some point in time. That person wore a black robe that hid his entire body. That person was the mysterious person who had appeared in Black Mountain Tribe!
