Two days later, a knock on the door was heard along with Liu Ruolan's crisp voice.
Linlong opened the door and looked at Liu Ruolan with a smile. "Miss Ruolan, why are you here so early today?"
"Young Master Lin, the clan wants to test your strength, and they want you to come to the clan square now." Liu Ruolan went straight to the point.
"Test?"
"It's like this. As a member of the clan, we must go out to hunt. You are now considered a member of our Liu Clan. In order to make proper arrangements, we must conduct a simple test on you before you can go out," Liu Ruolan said. "That's right.
"Alright then." Linlong nodded.
Linlong followed Liu Ruolan and soon arrived at the Liu Clan's square. The square was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate a few hundred people.
At that moment, the entire square was bustling with noise. It seemed like the people who stayed in the Liu Clan had basically arrived.
It could be assumed that these people were curious about Linlong's true strength.
After all, Linlong was someone who killed the Thousand-handed Giant Beast on his own.
However, apart from a few elders of the Liu Clan, including Ninth Uncle, the clan leader, Liu Ruolan's father, and the others were not in the square. Linlong was slightly surprised.
"Linlong, I believe Ruolan has already explained the reason for the test to you?" Ninth Uncle smiled when he saw Linlong walking over.
He heard from Liu Ruolan that the test was hosted by Ninth Uncle.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
"This is the rule of the Liu Clan, and it can be said to be the rule of the entire tribe, so I hope you can understand." Ninth Uncle continued.
Linlong nodded to show that he understood.
"Alright, let's start the test now. Just show your strength through your runic tool." Ninth Uncle gestured for Linlong to walk to the square.
The few hundred people in the tribe dispersed at the same time, leaving a spacious place.
"Ninth Uncle, I left my runic tool in the house and forgot to bring it out. Can I borrow anyone's runic tool?" Linlong asked.
He did not forget to leave his runic tool in the house. The reason why he said that was because he made some changes yesterday, but it was not complete. Without any changes, it could not be used at all, so he could only say that now.
Upon hearing Linlong's words, Liu Zong, who was close to him, wanted to take out his runic weapon and let him use it.
"Then …" Ninth Uncle also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take out his runic weapon.
However, there was one person who moved faster than them. Liu Zong had not yet spoken, and Uncle Jiu had not yet completely rolled up his sleeves, but she had already handed her runic weapon to Linlong.
This person was naturally Liu Ruolan.
"Young Master Lin, why don't you use mine?" Liu Ruolan smiled.
Seeing this scene, the scene immediately quietened down. After all, in the tribe, men and women were not allowed to marry each other. Generally speaking, when such a situation occurred, it was the man who lent the woman to the man. How could a woman lend the woman to a man?
Moreover, the person who wanted to borrow the runic weapon was none other than the clan's number one beauty, Liu Ruolan.
Because of this, everyone in the tribe was stunned.
These days, in addition to the time in the Red Mist Forest, Liu Ruolan and Linlong had become very familiar. Therefore, when she heard that Linlong did not bring his runic weapon, she did not even think about it and directly took out her runic weapon without thinking about anything else.
Now that she looked at the expressions of the people around her, she came to her senses. Her small face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
She was so embarrassed that she even wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Fortunately, Linlong said naturally, "Thank you, Miss Ruolan."
Even so, everyone still looked at Liu Ruolan and Linlong in disbelief.
At this moment, when Linlong raised his head slightly, he could see Guo Xiuqi, who was standing behind Ninth Uncle, looking at him with a face full of jealousy. If looks could kill, Linlong did not know how many moves the other party had made.
Seeing him like this, Linlong pretended to inadvertently touch Liu Ruolan's small hand when he took the runic weapon.
Liu Ruolan immediately shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.
Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded. Even though they thought it was an accident, it was still in public after all.
As for Guo Xiuqi, he was so angry that blue veins appeared on his forehead. He could see that Linlong did it on purpose because when he touched Liu Ruolan's small hand, Linlong's gaze towards him was clearly filled with endless contempt.
"Cough cough cough …" Ninth Uncle hurriedly coughed a few times and said, "Linlong, show your strength now."
Linlong stood in the middle of the field and used his Profound Qi to activate the runic weapon in his hand.
This runic weapon was much stronger than the runic weapons in the Thousand Beasts Valley due to the difference between the runic array and the crystal. However, because the runic array on it had not been modified, it was not suitable for him to use with his powerful Profound Qi. Therefore, the energy that was activated was not even comparable to the most ordinary warriors in the tribe.
Seeing this situation, the people in the tribe could not help but shake their heads.
"Ninth Uncle, Young Master Lin is an outsider, so naturally, he can't activate the runic weapon's energy in a short period of time. It's already not bad for him to be able to reach this level," Liu Ruolan quickly said.
She was so focused on defending Linlong that she completely forgot about the previous embarrassment.
Guo Xiuqi saw this, and the fire of jealousy in his heart burned even more fiercely.
"Ruolan is right." Ninth Uncle nodded.
"Didn't Young Master Lin say that he can kill the Thousand-handed Giant Beast?" Someone could not help but ask.
"That should be because you're using your Profound Qi. How about this, Linlong, show us your Profound Qi strength?" Ninth Uncle said when he saw that someone had doubts.
"Alright." Linlong nodded.
After that, he displayed his Profound Qi ability on the spot.
However, how could such strength be compared to using a runic weapon? After all, his current strength was only at the Martial Overlord Realm. On the other hand, the people in the tribe could easily kill the black panther with a runic weapon. The gap between them was too big.
Therefore, as soon as he displayed his strength, the people in the tribe immediately shook their heads.
"Young Master Lin, based on your strength, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to kill the Thousand-handed Giant Beast, right?" Someone could not help but question.
"Yes, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to kill one of the Thousand-handed Giant Beast's tentacles."
The doubt was immediately agreed by the people present.
They even looked at Liu Ruolan doubtfully. If it was not because they respected Liu Ruolan, they would have questioned her on the spot.
What they meant was that Liu Ruolan and Linlong did not encounter the Thousand-handed Giant Beast at all, and they made it up.
Upon hearing that, Liu Ruolan became anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
