The food of the people of Tita wasn’t something that a normal person could eat. This was at least the case for Lan Ling. It was too rough and unappetizing. She was impressed that Wang Zheng could eat it.
What she didn’t know was that Wang Zheng had eaten worse food. The meat of wild beast and fruits were over a hundred times better than bugs.
In the following days, Mu Sen and Khalifa brought Lan Ling around for a tour and met with the heads of the surrounding tribes. Obviously, there were things to discuss. Mu Sen was also responsible for introducing Lan Ling to the group. From there onwards, Lan Ling would be the new representative of the Lan Family.
As for Wang Zheng, he was training with Rara Durai all the time and had disappeared from the sight of the group till the time of the visit from Ling Shan Tribe.
The Ling Shan Tribe was the biggest tribe in the area. If it wasn’t for Elder Mu Sen, they would have been the leader. However, the appearance of Mu Sen resulted in them becoming only the second in command. However, from the aspects of population and overall strength, the Ling Shan Tribe was stronger.
The warrior of Ling Shan Tribe would have a sparring match with the Pool Tribe each year. From the past results, the Ling Shan Tribe had achieved 90% of the victories. In recent years, they were even able to achieve 6 consecutive victories.
The head of the Ling Shan Tribe had brought over 200 warriors as spectators to the Pool Tribe.
As compared to the smaller tribes which had arrived earlier, Ling Shan Tribe could be considered to be late. Due to the presence of Mu Sen, the Pool Tribe was undoubtedly the leading tribe of the Kamla region. However, the warriors of the Pool Tribe were too weak and hadn’t been able to gain the recognition of the warriors from Ling Shan Tribe.
It wasn’t complicated between the people of Tita. Mu Sen was an Elder and the leader of Pool Tribe. However, this wasn’t able to bring glory to the Pool Tribe.
For this year, Rara Durai had become the new generation’s chief warrior and would be battling the Ling Shan Tribe as the representative for the Battle of the Warriors.
The warrior from the Ling Shan Tribe was Shan Meng. He was the victor for 3 consecutive years and was the niece of Shan Yue. His strength was among the front runners even within the entire Tita Tribe.
Shan Meng’s stature was even bigger than a normal giant. He was over a head taller than Rara Durai and was stronger physically. One could call him a monster amongst the giants. He also had a fearsome look that could stop a child from crying at night.
“Haha, sorry that I was late brother Mu Sen. The road to here wasn’t easy to navigate.” said Shan Meng with a smile.
“Shan Yue, how could you be late for such an occasion and made Miss Lan Ling wait?” said Khalifa with a stern voice.
Shan Yue took a look at Khalifa and said,” How big is the matter? Brat, if you encountered any problem you can look for me, Shan Yue. In the Kamla region, if there was something I couldn’t do, there would be no one who could do it. Hahaha.”
Shan Yue wasn’t a Wise one and was a giant. Some Tita tribes preferred to have giants as their heads of the tribe. Clearly, Shan Yue wasn’t showing much respect to Lan Ling.
Mu Sen and Khalifa did not care too much about Shan Yue’s arrogance. His personality had been like this and they had gotten used to it over the years.
“Eh, who is this little one? Is he from the Lan Family too? Didn’t we agree that we only need 1 human representative?” said Shan Yue as he looked at Wang Zheng. Clearly, this giant wasn’t fond of humans. Among the people of Tita, there weren’t a lack of people who disliked humans and saw them as invaders.
“This is Mr Wang Zheng, Ada of Rara Durai and friend of the Pool Tribe.” introduced Mu Sen.
Instantly, the whole crowd went silent. Not only the Ling Shan Tribe but the people of the other Tita Tribes were also dumbfounded.
A thunderous laughter followed. The giants of the Ling Shan Tribe laughed the loudest and Shan Meng was laughing so hard that he was having a hard time catching his breath.
“To allow a human to become Ada, Mu Sen, your Pool Tribe is really something. To bow down to the humans, you have disgraced the giants. I would report this to the meeting of the elders. This is an insult to the tradition and pride of the people of Tita!” Shan Yue said angrily.
“Tribal Chief Shan Yue, please calm down. Wang Zheng could defeat Rara Durai and was willing to impart to him the power from mankind’s origin. At the same time, he has the same smell as the people of Tita. Therefore I had agreed to this matter.”
Mu Sen was using the language of the people of Tita and Wang Zheng could not understand. However, Lan Ling was able to understand.
“Humans only know how to hide within their metal shells. What kind of things could he impart? Was he imparting to Rara Durai the knowledge on how to use the metal shell? Hahaha.”
The surrounding giants burst into laughter and the Wise ones did not know whether to cry or to laugh. The giants of the Pool Tribe lowered their head as they were also feeling ashamed.
Rara Durai clenched his fist angrily. However, Wang Zheng patted on him to stop him. Naturally, this was something that Elder Mu Sen would handle.
Mu Sen shook his head and said,” He wasn’t using the mech.”
Instantly, the crowd went silent. Following it was another burst of laughter. In the laughter, there were signs of disrespect.
“If that was the case, Rara Durai would be the disgrace of the giants and should be thrown into the abyss!” said Shan Yue.
“Rara Durai was the number one warrior of the Pool Tribe. He was also the opponent for Shan Meng for this year.” said Mu Sen.
“Hmph, I would not battle a coward. This would tarnish my name and it is a disgrace to a giant. He should atone himself by going to the abyss himself!” Shan Meng shook his head in disapproval and wouldn’t even take a look at his opponent. He did not have high expectations for the Pool Tribe in the first place as he felt that the entire tribe was full of weaklings.
Weak humans could only rely on their metal hull. Without the metal hull, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a blow and he could crush them to death with just a finger.
“Elder Mu Sen, I heard that the people of Tita would only believe what they saw with their own eyes. In humans’ words, there’s something called to see was to believe while what you heard might not be true.” said Wang Zheng calmly. He had climbed to the shoulders of Rara Durai to make it easier for him to speak.
Shan Yue let out a cold hum and didn’t bother himself about Wang Zheng. “Elder Mu Sen, I was here to complete the Battle of the Warriors. You can send out a warrior from the Pool Tribe.
“The warrior for the Pool Tribe would be Rara Durai.” said Khalifa. He believed that the judgement of Elder Mu Sen would be correct.
“Shan Meng!”
“Tribal Chief, I refuse the battle. Such a coward isn’t worth my time!” Shan Meng shook his head. For someone who had already won the Battle of the Warriors 3 times, such a battle couldn’t arouse his interest.
“Shan Long, the glory for erasing the disgrace of the people of Tita would be in your hands!”
“Yes, Tribal Chief!” a giant behind Shan Meng stood forward. He was only half a head shorter than Shan Meng and was still bigger than Rara Durai.
As an honorary warrior, Shan Meng could reject such a disgraceful opponent. He didn’t have to prove himself anymore but the other giants still desired such glory.
Rara Durai did not know what to expect. He had made the preparation to die in battle previously. This was because to be able to die on the battlefield was also a glorious thing for a Tita warrior.
However, his opponent had rejected his battle.
This was an insult.
However, Shan Long was the second strongest warrior in Ling Shan tribe and wasn’t someone he could win against in a battle. If he was killed by the number 1 warrior, there was still glory. There wasn’t such glory if he was defeated by the number 2 warrior.
“He wouldn’t be a match for you. Show them what I have taught you recently… May the gods be with you!” said Wang Zheng and he jumped down agilely.
Rara Durai wasn’t looking very serious. However, after hearing the last line, he suddenly regained his confidence.
This must have been the will of the gods to send Wang Zheng to impart to him such mysterious strength. He would definitely be victorious.
The surrounding crowd started to move aside and formed a large circle.
The 2 giants were facing each other. However, Shan Long was still belittling Rara Durai. Amongst the giants, strength could be mainly determined by their size. Therefore, most Tita giants would try to grow as much as they could.
Shan Yue let out a huge roar to signal the start of the battle.
The giants’ bodies started to bend slightly. Facing each other, they growled at the same time. This was a form of battle signal to overwhelm the opponent using their aura first!
However, it was clear that Shan Long’s voice was louder, clearer and more imposing, much like the high mountains.
Boom…
The two giants rushed towards each other at almost the same instance and clashed. Using their arms to hold each other in position, they started to compete with their strength.
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He had just reminded Rara Durai to use his techniques. However, he had resorted to what he used to do from the very start of the battle.
In the battle of strength, Shan Long was able to achieve an advantage very quickly and was dominating Rara Durai with every step. Suddenly, he executed a sudden head smash towards Rara Durai.
Boom…
Rara Durai was knocked backwards from the collision. Shan Long immediately followed it up with a punch and sent Rara Durai flying.
Having connected in just one strike, Shan Long started to wave his arms to incite the crowd. The surrounding giants let out a burst of roars in response to Shan Long. After all, this was an annual Battle of the Warriors between the Pool Tribe and the Ling Shan Tribe.
Mixed within the laughter were words in Tita language that was filled with ridicule and even insults.
In the world of Tita giants, only the heroic warrior would receive respect.
Rara Durai crawled up angrily. However, Shan Long had already rushed towards him. Shan Long grabbed him and threw him over the shoulders. Rara Durai crashed onto the floor with a loud thud. Shan Long immediately jumped onto Rara Durai and pummelled his head.
Rara Durai tried to defend by holding his arms closely to protect his head. However, his opponent was much stronger than him and was able to break his defences quickly. Rara Durai suffered consecutive attacks on his head and blood was splattering everywhere.
The giants seemed to have gone crazy when they saw the blood and started to shout more wildly. Shan Yue and the rest revealed a disdainful look. They had desired a Battle of the Warriors. However, the Pool Tribe was becoming trashier year after year.
Shan Long stood up and was stepping on Rara Durai’s face with his huge legs. He spat on him and said,” Trash!”
The surrounding giants shouted a unison word. There was no need to guess and Wang Zheng could understand it.
Kill!
Death was another way to erase one’s disgrace.
Shan Long saw a huge stone. He lifted the huge stone as though he was displaying his strength and wanted to crush Rara Durai into meat paste!
Rara Durai moved his head to a side but he wasn’t able to see anything. He wasn’t able to do anything too. Perhaps, death was the only way to glory.
Suddenly, a voice exploded in the mind of Rara Durai’s brain. Instantly, his groggy brain cleared up.
The huge stone was thrown towards Rara Durai. Instinctively, Rara Durai avoided it by rolling and crawling away. This had drawn more ridicule.
“Elder Mu Sen, was this what you get from interacting with humans? Coward, shameless! This is what you get by making a human your Ada. As the Elder, you have committed a huge crime!” said Shan Yue.
“Shan Yue, the battle has not ended until the last moment. It might be too early to make your judgement.”
Mu Sen was still calm and composed and looked at Wang Zheng quietly. However, his expression was …very serious.
