Chapter 16: The Beginning of the Battle Across the World
“I don’t want to!”
Yi Chen’s response was clear and decisive.
In Guli’s bright, expectant eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed.
Rog looked at Yi Chen in surprise.
He clearly did not expect Yi Chen to refuse Guli.
Soon, this surprise turned into fervent admiration.
He was truly a god-like man.
To refuse a stunning beauty like Guli!
“Amazing! No wonder he is a genius who created a Cultivation Method; he can refuse a beauty without hesitation.”
“A genius’s thinking is beyond what ordinary people can comprehend. It’s normal for someone like Yi Chen, who can influence all of humanity, to be extraordinary.”
“Great! My male god has preserved his purity!”
The viewers in the live room were all shocked.
But they quickly accepted it.
The rarer the genius, the harder they are to understand.
Being unable to resist the temptation of a stunning beauty is ordinary.
Yi Chen was clearly no ordinary person.
He was a genius.
A rare genius in the history of humanity.
…
“I’ll go find someone from the tribe.”
Guli forced herself to hide her disappointment and turned to run toward the valley.
“I’ll go too!”
Rog quickly followed behind her.
Yi Chen sighed in relief.
Thank goodness, whether in this life or the last, he had no experience in this area.
If Guli persisted, he genuinely wouldn’t know how to respond.
Surely he couldn’t just kill Guli, right?
Not wanting to waste time, he followed the two of them back to the valley.
By the time he arrived at the Flame Mountain Tribe, Guli and Rog had already gathered the chief, the high priest, and the tribe members.
However, the chief, the high priest, and the tribe members were somewhat skeptical of their words.
The warrior Yi Chen, who had recently joined the tribe and had not left in over twenty days, came out and killed the green leopard that dominated the southern forest.
It sounded unbelievable.
How could one person possibly kill a green leopard?
If they gathered all the members of the Flame Mountain Tribe, they still wouldn’t be able to defeat a green leopard.
As Yi Chen arrived, everyone’s gaze turned to him, eager for an explanation.
But Yi Chen offered no explanation at all.
He walked straight back to his wooden house.
He focused on his training.
Outside, the tribe members felt a bit frustrated.
Guli and Rog looked at each other in confusion.
But they quickly accepted it.
With Yi Chen’s god-like strength, it was normal for him to be too proud to explain.
They turned back to try to persuade the chief and the high priest to believe their words.
In the end, Chief Tai Shi decided to personally take a few tribe members to see the situation with Guli and Rog.
It wasn’t until nearly half an hour later that Tai Shi returned, his face filled with shock.
He officially announced that the green leopard had indeed been killed by Yi Chen.
The entire tribe, over a thousand members, instantly fell into excitement and celebration.
Men, women, and children all grabbed their weapons and tools, heading towards the forest that had once belonged to humanity’s forbidden zone in the south.
Batches of green leopard meat were continuously transported back to the valley.
They didn’t stop until evening.
…
Knock, knock!
A soft knocking sound came from the wooden door.
Yi Chen finished his training and opened the door.
It was Guli.
“You killed the green leopard! You are the greatest warrior in the history of our Flame Mountain Tribe. The chief sent me to invite you to the celebration.”
Guli explained.
“Alright!”
Yi Chen nodded.
It was time to secure the position of chief of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Only by obtaining the position of chief could he quickly promote and spread the Chaos Technique.
The tribe members of Flame Mountain needed to greatly enhance their strength to help him expand territory and claim vast lands.
The more territory he had, the stronger the boost from his Strongest Talent System would be.
"Great! The chief was worried that you wouldn’t want to join us."
Guli exclaimed with joy.
In the eyes of the members of the Flame Mountain Tribe, Yi Chen appeared cold, distant, and unapproachable.
Only she, who had interacted with Yi Chen early on, felt that he was actually quite easy to talk to.
Although his strength surpassed humanity’s understanding, he didn’t carry himself with too much pride and could even be considered approachable.
He just preferred not to go out and didn’t want to waste time interacting with others.
In the center of the valley, a bonfire blazed.
More than a thousand people of all ages surrounded the huge bonfire, roasting delicious beast meat.
Upon seeing Yi Chen’s arrival, a thunderous cheer erupted.
There was no doubt.
At this moment, Yi Chen was the greatest hero of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
His prestige far surpassed that of Chief Tai Shi.
All the criticisms about being cold, not participating in hunts, and having an icy attitude—
these faults were all insignificant.
In the world of the strong, respect is everything.
Yi Chen made his way to the center of the crowd, standing by the bonfire as he scanned the faces of the tribe members.
Then he raised his hand.
In an instant, the thunderous cheers abruptly stopped.
Chief Tai Shi felt a twinge of envy.
With a terrifying level of strength, Yi Chen had gained prestige that was beyond what he could match.
"I heard from Guli that the chief seems to have set a rule: whoever can hunt the most prey alone within three months will become the new chief?"
Yi Chen directed his gaze at Tai Shi.
Tai Shi instinctively nodded, somewhat puzzled as to why Yi Chen suddenly asked this.
"Then, starting now, I declare that I will become the chief of the Flame Mountain Tribe two days early. Who opposes this?"
Yi Chen infused his spirit power into his throat, his voice booming like a great bell, his gaze fierce like a torch.
The old and young members of the Flame Mountain Tribe were all taken aback.
What was happening?
This great hero wanted to become the chief of the Flame Mountain Tribe?
After a moment, they suddenly understood.
Before, because Yi Chen was an outsider and had only recently joined the Flame Mountain Tribe,
no one had thought to consider this question.
When Yi Chen proposed this, everyone suddenly realized the truth.
With Yi Chen’s strength, if he didn’t become the chief of the Flame Mountain Tribe, who would be qualified to take that role?
Guli?
Rog?
Could they defeat the green leopard?
No one opposed him.
In fact, even louder cheers erupted, rumbling like thunder.
Yi Chen’s willingness to be the chief meant to the tribe members that he intended to stay in the Flame Mountain Tribe for the long term.
In this world, the greatest dream of humanity was simply to have enough to eat.
With a powerful chief like Yi Chen, who could even kill a green leopard, did the tribe members have to worry about not having enough food?
Even Rog, who had always believed he was the best choice for the next chief, felt nothing but disappointment.
He had thought Yi Chen was a powerful ally sent by the gods to assist him.
After becoming chief, he expected Yi Chen to be his right-hand man, following his lead to develop and strengthen the Flame Mountain Tribe.
But it was clear that he was mistaken.
At most, he could only strive to be Yi Chen’s assistant.
As for opposition…
He didn’t even dare to think about it.
In the world of the strong, respect is everything.
Yi Chen’s power made Rog feel no inclination to oppose or compete.
"Very good! Excellent!"
Seeing that no one objected,
a smile appeared on Yi Chen’s face.
From this moment on,
he would finally embark on his journey to conquer the world.
Because he now had the foundation for that conquest.
…
The billions of viewers in the live room finally understood at this moment why Yi Chen had suddenly left the tribe to hunt the green leopard after breaking through the first level of Spirit Release.
