Once Lei Chen left, only the elder and Su Ming were left in the room. When he saw the elder, Su Ming quickly stood up. He was very nervous. He did not know whether his actions during the first stage of the test were correct.
In the midst of his anxiety, a smile appeared on the elder's face. He sat down opposite Su Ming and looked at the frail boy before him. He looked at the youthful look that still remained on his handsome face, and a nostalgic look appeared briefly in his eyes.
"You've grown up … Come, sit beside me." After a long while, the elder spoke softly.
"Elder." Su Ming sat down and looked at the wrinkles on the elder's face. They were marks left behind by time, and they exuded an ancient air.
"You did well in the first stage." The elder smiled and patted Su Ming's head. He brought out a small bottle from his bosom and handed it to Su Ming.
"There are three drops of Berserker Blood from those in the Transcendence Realm in here. Keep it safe. When the time is right, it will be of great help to you. This is all I can do for you …" The elder looked at Su Ming, and there was a look in his eyes that Su Ming could not understand at his age.
"The method to absorb the Berserker Blood from those in the Transcendence Realm is very simple. Use Dark Blood Dust and turn the Berserker Blood into blood mist. Surround your entire body and slowly absorb it to nourish your blood. But you can only absorb one drop at a time. Don't be greedy. You have to do it step by step, or else it will harm your body." The elder looked at Su Ming and warned him sternly.
Su Ming looked at the elder. He did not know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. It was as if the elder's expression and words made the meaning he did not understand even stronger.
"Elder … you …" Su Ming instinctively took the bottle containing the Berserker Blood. He was just about to say something when he saw the elder smiling and shaking his head. He looked at Su Ming with a kind expression.
"Don't worry. The danger in the tribe can be resolved. I've already discussed it with the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe. There shouldn't be any accidents.
"What you need to do is to train properly. If one day you reach the Transcendence Realm … you can leave this place and go to the world outside … Remember to go to Berserkers' Realm Mountain," the elder said slowly.
"Berserkers' Realm Mountain … Where is it?" Su Ming was stunned. He had a feeling that this matter was related to his past, but the elder's sudden words made the bad feeling in his heart grow stronger. It turned into uneasiness and nervousness, replacing the shock and confusion that should have appeared in his heart.
"In your heart …" the elder looked at Su Ming and spoke slowly.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. He did not understand.
"Alright, you just need to remember this. Let's not talk about this anymore. I've come to an agreement with the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe. You can use Mo Su's identity to stay in Wind Stream Tribe. Wind Stream Tribe will train you and Ye Wang together. This will be very beneficial to you. It will give you more help than I can give you. The chances of you reaching Transcendence will be higher." The elder's expression was grave as he looked at Su Ming. When he saw the hesitation on Su Ming's face, as if he was about to speak, the elder's expression became stern.
"But … elder, I don't want to stay in Wind Stream Tribe, I …" The elder's words were too sudden, causing Su Ming to be completely unprepared. He did not expect things to turn out this way either. If he had known that the results of the first stage of the test would turn out this way, he would definitely not have fought for such a high rank. Before he could even finish speaking in his anxiety, he saw a fierce look appear in the elder's eyes.
"Su Ming! I've already made my decision. You must stay here from now on! "the elder said sternly.
Su Ming was silent, but the stubbornness in his eyes was unmistakable.
When he saw the stubbornness in Su Ming's eyes, the elder sighed and his expression softened. He looked at Su Ming and spoke slowly, "Su Ming, Dark Mountain Tribe is not far from Wind Stream Tribe. You can go back whenever you want."
Su Ming bit his lip. He did not know what to say.
"Besides, I've already made my decision. Dark Mountain Tribe will join Wind Stream Tribe and leave Dark Mountain Tribe. We will build a new tribe outside the mudstone city. In truth, you're very close to Wind Stream Tribe." The elder continued speaking.
"But elder, I don't want to become a member of Wind Stream Tribe. I belong to Dark Mountain Tribe!" Su Ming hesitated for a moment before he spoke in a low voice.
The elder looked at Su Ming quietly. After a long while, he spoke again, "Su Ming, I want you to stay in Wind Stream Tribe. It's not just for your own good. There's another reason why I want you to stay in Wind Stream Tribe. Once your status increases and your power increases, just like Ye Wang, you can also take care of Dark Mountain Tribe. Don't you want to take care of Dark Mountain Tribe?"
"I …" Su Ming was stunned.
"How about this? We're not in a hurry. Don't think too much about it. Once everything is over and Dark Mountain Tribe migrates here, you can make your decision. At that time, I'll personally send you over. You don't even need to stay in the mudstone city. You can still stay in Dark Mountain Tribe. Is that fine with you?" The elder smiled and patted Su Ming's head.
Su Ming let out a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he nodded his head obediently. If that was the case, he could accept it. In Su Ming's heart, he only had one tribe, and that was Dark Mountain Tribe.
"Alright. Since you're not going to participate in the next test, then stay in Wind Stream for the next few days. Familiarize yourself with the environment here. Once Bei Ling and the others are done with the test, we'll go back to the tribe." The elder smiled and stood up. He did not ask Su Ming how he managed to get that rank, neither did he ask about his understanding towards the six numbers. Instead, with a smile on his face, he looked deeply at Su Ming before he turned around and left.
Su Ming looked at the elder's back. There was an ancient air to his back. As he gradually walked away, Su Ming felt his heart clench for an unknown reason.
When the elder left and Su Ming was the only one left in the room, he sat there quietly and recalled the elder's words. Worry rose in his heart.
'I'm not strong enough yet … I have to become stronger!' After a long while, Su Ming gritted his teeth and a resolute look appeared on his face. He might not be able to understand the meaning behind the elder's gaze, but he could feel that things were not as the elder had said. The danger of the tribe could not be resolved so easily.
'If I want to become stronger, I can't perform the burning of blood within a short period of time. I can only create medicinal pills … I'll need a lot of stone coins …' Su Ming frowned. What he lacked the most right now was money.
'What should I do … I sold Scattering Dusts once before. I don't know if it attracted anyone's attention … But if I don't sell it anymore, then I won't have any money … But if someone has already noticed this, then I can't sell the pills anymore.' Su Ming thought of all the methods he could think of, but in the end, he could not think of anything.
'Oh well, I can only ask the elder for some stone coins …' Su Ming sighed. He originally did not want to add to the elder's burden. After all, according to his plan, he would need a lot of stone coins this time.
Su Ming stood up and was about to look for the elder when he suddenly stopped. A thought flashed through his mind.
Su Ming stood by the door with sparkling eyes. The idea that had appeared in his head became clearer. After a while, Su Ming sat down once again and thought about it carefully for a long time before he took out a small bottle from his bosom.
There were threads of light surrounding the bottle. Inside the bottle was the green blood he had snatched from Wu Sen. He used moonlight threads to wrap around it so that not a single hint of its presence could be detected.
As he held the small bottle, his eyes gradually brightened. He had thought about the idea in his head many times and gradually, an idea formed in his head.
'This item must be very important to Wu Sen! Besides … I heard from Bei Ling that Wu Sen is as famous as Chen Chong in Wind Stream Tribe and is only below Ye Wang!
'This sort of person would always be in the top three in the previous tests, but this time … he's only ranked 12th … Even if Bi Su's appearance caused him to be unable to get into the top three, he would definitely not fall out of the top 10.
'Now that this happened … there's only one explanation. This person has become weaker! Something must have happened to him because he's weak, or else he wouldn't have performed this way during the test. He wouldn't have hidden his strength during the test either. Besides, with his status, there's no need for him to do so! 'Su Ming mumbled as he analyzed the situation in his head.
'If that's the case, then there's a 50% chance that he lost … this item!' Su Ming's eyes shone brightly. He looked at the small bottle in his hands and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
'As the prodigy of Wind Stream Tribe, Wu Sen must have a lot of money …' The smile on Su Ming's face grew brighter.
'But just what is this item? Why is it so important to him?' Su Ming fell into a moment of silence. He did not act rashly immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing quietly. Time passed by. When the sky outside darkened completely and the moon hung high in the sky, Su Ming opened his eyes abruptly.
'Now, I can study it.' Su Ming no longer hesitated. He picked up the small bottle and waved his left hand over it. Immediately, the moonlight threads on the small bottle scattered. Su Ming brought the small bottle closer and removed the stopper before looking at it carefully.
The green blood in the small bottle was slightly dull. It was as if it had lost its color and spirit due to not returning to Wu Sen's body for a long time.
'I need to see whether this item is useful to me. If it's not, then I can proceed to the next step.' Su Ming did not hesitate and poured out the blood in the bottle. The blood floated before him. There was no bloody scent coming from it. It was as if it was not blood.
Su Ming stared at the item and grabbed it, placing it slowly at the center of his brows.
