Chapter 1331: Hesitant to Speak

A Xing saw Ye Liuyun accept Ahu's challenge, and her face also showed a relieved expression.

"I'll get you medicine right away!" she cheerfully went to prepare healing herbs for Ye Liuyun.

"......"

Ye Liuyun was also speechless.

"Are you that sure I'll lose?" he asked A Xing with a wry smile.

"Of course, Ahu is at Body Refining Eighth Level; you definitely can't beat him, and you'll probably get badly hurt!"

Ye Liuyun wanted to explain that he accepted Ahu's challenge not for A Xing's sake.

But seeing A Xing's excited demeanor, he couldn't bear to discourage her.

Moreover, he hangs out in the tribe and will still rely on A Xing in the future, so he swallowed his words.

Ye Tiandao watched from the side, saw Ye Liuyun's embarrassed look, and chuckled to himself.

Ye Liuyun tapped her on the head, then went along to prepare medicine for himself.

After an hour, a clearing in the tribe was filled with many tribe members coming to watch the spectacle.

Ye Liuyun, holding a spear, came here led by A Xing, with Ye Tiandao following behind to watch.

She wanted to see how Ye Liuyun was faking his way through.

Ahu had already been waiting here, holding a wolf-tooth club, glancing at Ye Liuyun with disdain.

To these tribe members, they all thought Ye Liuyun would definitely lose to Ahu.

They came just to see how badly Ahu would beat Ye Liuyun.

Within the tribe, there is a rule that tribesmen cannot easily deliver killing blows when fighting each other.

With already few numbers, losing a tribesman to another would be too great a loss.

So A Xing wasn't worried Ye Liuyun would come to harm; at worst he'd get some injuries and recover after a period of rest.

The fighting rules here are also simple: no referee, once Ye Liuyun and Ahu take their positions, the fight can begin.

Ahu and the crowd originally thought Ye Liuyun would be fearful and nervous, but Ye Liuyun stood there calm and detached, removing the spear's tip.

Everyone wondered what he was doing.

"What are you doing?" A Xing asked from the side, puzzled.

Without the tip, the spear is no different from a stick and has no killing power!

"I'm afraid I'll hurt him too badly!" Ye Liuyun explained to A Xing.

That remark made all the tribe members watching the spectacle laugh.

"Haha, Ahu also laughed, saying, 'If you can pierce me, that's your skill!'"

Saying that, he swung the wolf-tooth club and smashed it toward Ye Liuyun.

A Xing stomped her feet in anxiety, yet could do nothing.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun stood motionless with his spear, looking like a fool.

"Why don't you dodge?" A Xing exclaimed from the side, growing even more anxious.

"Is this kid scared stupid?" the tribe members also jeered from the side.

However, before their words faded, Ahu's wolf-tooth club came down upon his head.

Ye Liuyun also suddenly moved.

In one motion, the spear slanted forward, accurately and swiftly stabbing Ahu's arm; his club froze in midair, unable to strike down.

If Ye Liuyun had not removed the spear tip, this blow would have pierced Ahu's arm from his own downward force.

"Huh?" an exclamation rose from the crowd; no one expected Ye Liuyun to use such a clever borrow-force technique, and just right.

A Xing stared with her mouth open, stunned, and stopped shouting reminders to Ye Liuyun.

Ahu hastily retreated, rubbing the spot where Ye Liuyun's spear had struck.

Although the spear had no tip, being struck still hurt; his arm felt numb and sore, almost dropping the wolf-tooth club.

After a moment, he swept the club horizontally toward Ye Liuyun again.

Ye Liuyun remained as before, motionless, waiting for the club to sweep over.

He rotated his spear, making a circle, then thrust upward from below at an angle.

Again a borrow-force move; Ahu's club instantly changed direction, flying diagonally upward and just missing Ye Liuyun's head.

If Ahu weren't at Body Refining Eighth Level, that strike would have sent his club flying from his hand.

Yet that force was entirely his own; Ye Liuyun had hardly any strength.

The crowd burst into another gasp; A Xing was dazed, unsure whether Ye Liuyun had just gotten lucky or was truly that skilled.

Ahu retracted his wolf-tooth club, his face growing even more unsightly.

This time, he raised the wolf-tooth club with both hands, leapt up, and smashed it toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun did the same: he waited until Ahu came within a certain distance, then suddenly turned and fled, dragging his spear.

Just as the crowd wanted to laugh and Ahu was about to land and give chase, Ye Liuyun suddenly spun in place, lowered his body, and thrust his spear upward from below, aiming straight at Ahu's throat.

Having just seen Ye Liuyun flee, Ahu had released his grip; now, with both hands holding the club, his throat was pressed by Ye Liuyun's spear.

Ye Liuyun pushed forward slightly, forcing Ahu to step back.

Ye Liuyun then retracted his spear, rose, and said softly, "You lost."

Only then did the tribe members understand why Ye Liuyun had removed the spear tip; otherwise, Ahu would already be a corpse.

Ye Liuyun's performance shocked everyone; the field fell silent as if even sparrows held their breath.

Ahu's face was also flushed red; after holding back for a while, he finally admitted defeat.

"Not bad, a real man!" Ye Liuyun thought approvingly, also feeling it was right that he hadn't injured him.

But Ahu's next words left Ye Liuyun unable to force a bitter smile.

"A Xing is yours now!" Ahu said despondently.

"It's not what you think..."

Ye Liuyun was about to explain, but his words were just drowned out by the clansmen's cheers.

Ahu didn't hear it, and A Xing didn't either.

More clansmen ran up to congratulate him, and someone asked what technique he had used; for a moment, Ye Liuyun had no chance to explain further.

Ahu turned and walked away; he wanted to explain, but there was no chance.

A Xing, meanwhile, came to his senses amid the shock and looked at Ye Liuyun with a happy face.

"Oh no, did I cause trouble again?" Ye Liuyun silently cursed in his heart.

Outside the field, the tribe's sole Sea Transformation expert also smiled and nodded repeatedly.

He was A Mu, second only to the Clan Chief in the tribe's hierarchy, absolutely loyal to the tribe, and the tribe's war leader.

All the tribe's battles and hunts were led by A Mu.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had no cultivation realm but struck fast and accurately, remaining calm in combat, he greatly admired him, thinking Ye Liuyun was a promising talent.

After they dispersed, A Mu went to find the Clan Chief to apply for cultivation resources for Ye Liuyun.

Cultivation resources within the tribe are limited, and they are only given to those they deem worth cultivating. Thus, those who receive resources naturally enjoy a higher status.
