Congratulations Host, check in successful.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Congratulations Host received Low Grade Assistance: one military knife.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai examined the military knife, murmuring, \"I did not anticipate obtaining another military knife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This represented the fourth blade the System had provided. The first combat knife went directly to Ye Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second, the military knife, was assigned to Yan Hua, the third to Sha Lan. Now unexpectedly, a fourth had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall keep this for now. Perhaps today’s inspection of the soldiers will reveal someone exceptional?\" Su Bai continued his self-directed commentary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered awarding this military knife as recognition should there be someone outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military knives represented supremely advanced weaponry in this era. They were exceptional in both material composition and appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldier training had not yet begun. So, there was no rush to leave so early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing today’s administrative matters, he would observe the soldiers’ training at his leisure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, you obtained another blade?\" Yu Ying curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ying was naturally curious whenever the Shaman obtained another novel item. Beyond questioning their origin, she wondered why they all appeared so exceptional. They were unlike anything a craftsman could produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I made this last night,\" Su Bai could only provide such an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not reveal it was given by the System. To him, this was a secret he would much prefer no one else knew about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Even at night, you are working so hard.\" Yu Ying expressed considerable concern for his wellbeing. She did not doubt his words for a second, as her belief in him was unquestionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I rested really well last night.\" Su Bai replied with a dismissive smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time progressed from morning’s refreshing atmosphere through afternoon’s intense heat, ultimately reaching dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai departed the Yong’an Building with Yu Ying, intending to observe the soldiers’ training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythmic sound of footsteps accompanied their carriage journey to the spacious training ground, where soldiers continued weighted marching exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite perspiring enough to thoroughly saturate their Animal Hide clothing, the soldiers demonstrated no intention of pausing to wipe away their sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of them showed maximum dedication, resembling competitive racing where none wished to finish last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Su Bai’s arrival, Yan Hua immediately ran from the training ground, calling out, \"Shaman, you have finally arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the completion of her own training, Yan Hua had started the soldiers’ training, continuously glancing towards the Yong’an Building during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered when the Shaman might appear, eagerly anticipating his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not admit to her personal desire to see the Shaman, instead consistently claiming the soldiers’ anticipated his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. How is the training going?\" Su Bai enquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though standing at a considerable distance, he could already smell the odour from their sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s training intensity was evident, confirmed by the numerous deep footprints across the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They trained with a lot more vigour today. They also navigated every obstacle effortlessly.\" Yan Hua immediately reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears the Shaman’s second set of training needs to be further intensified.\" Sha Lan remarked with a covered smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This enhanced training set initially challenged the soldiers somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after several days of practice, they adapted. Now they managed with considerable ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current performance resembled how they would do in the first training set, perhaps even surpassing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I noticed. Everyone here has really become truly capable. The difficulty does need to be increased.\" Su Bai confirmed with a satisfied nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This difficulty in training would challenge most individuals on Earth. So, these soldiers already proved to be truly exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good. They also eagerly anticipate for the training to be harder.” Yan Hua responded with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, recent days had featured continuous complaints from the soldiers, claiming current training intensity proved too little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current confident demeanour contrasted sharply with their attitudes from when they first started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the second training set was first implemented, the soldiers bitterly complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each component was exceptionally challenging. Completing the whole thing left them completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good. Has anyone withdrawn midway during training?\" Su Bai enquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished to see whether these individuals had persisted throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hua shook her head decisively, stating earnestly. \"They have all persisted from the start until now. Not a single individual has withdrawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found this surprising as well. Their determination is really praiseworthy.\" Sha Lan confirmed with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had maintained modest expectations initially, hoping perhaps ten might ultimately remain. Yet since selection to now, not a single individual has withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Great.\" Su Bai acknowledged with a satisfied nod, continuing, \"In that case, I shall observe how long they can continue to persist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already conceptualised even harder training sets. He was now determined to make these soldiers pay the price for today’s arrogant confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, after seeing today’s training, do you see any areas that need improving?\" Yan Hua curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Provided they train with full dedication, no changes are necessary.\" Su Bai replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dedication was the optimal path to success. He already anticipated these soldiers’ future achievements with considerable interest.\u003C\u002Fp>",865,"2026-06-05T22:27:01.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e120c1c017fe4abe9a1ae637f2a97dec845fbb8c85814c29a04140533e5ed24","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-741","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-739",983,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-cover.jpg"]
