C28 Strength

The autumn sun is high in the sky.

The square of Angry Axe Clan was filled with human heads. In the center of the square, there was a 30 meter square field. On the field, there were more than a dozen young men with strong bodies. All of them had excited and excited expressions on their faces.

In front of them, there was a huge piece of wood about 30 meters long and three feet wide. The surface of the huge piece of wood was flat, and on the surface of the huge piece of wood, there was a heavy and shiny Battleaxe the size of a cow's head.

Under the scorching gazes of countless people, along with the orders of Patriarch Nu Shuo, the grade test of this year's new generation of the clan had begun.

Nu Tian was the strongest in the new generation, but he had already reached the Fourth Order. He could be considered an expert in the clan, and he no longer needed to participate in this test.

Tuoli was wearing bright leather armor, standing in front of a row of youths excitedly. He said loudly, "Listen up, follow my name later. He walked out and grabbed the fifty-kilogram Battleaxe in front of you. Once your Violent Aura reaches its peak, chop this piece of wood with all your strength!"

This piece of wood was a unique type of tree in the East Sea Islands. Wood is as hard as iron, and can be used to make the most Battleaxe's axe handle and wood armor. The wood was hard and tough, and it was almost a rule passed down in the tribe to test the level of the Violent Aura.

Tuoli retreated to the side of the wood, grabbed a leather scroll, and read aloud. "Yes, my lord!"

A young man who was as strong as a cow strode out and arrived in front of the tree. He clenched the Battleaxe tightly with both of his hands, even though there would be tests in the clan every day. However, the young man was still very nervous. He licked his dry lips. A ball of Violent Aura violently surged within his body, and his strength instantly rose to its peak. He gathered his arms, and with a loud shout, the Battleaxe drew a ray of light. It accurately chopped onto the smooth and flat wood.

"Duo!"

The Battleaxe entered the wood, leaving only the handle of the axe exposed. The youth's face turned red as he attacked with all his strength. His breathing actually became a bit hurried.

Tuoli walked to the edge of the axe and grabbed the Battleaxe with his right hand. With a shake of his wrist, the Battleaxe was gently pulled out from the hole in the wood. Looking at the depth of the hole, Tuoli said loudly, "Peak First Order!"

The young man's eyes lit up. He nodded his head in satisfaction and quickly retreated.

Following that, a few more young men walked out. Most of them were at the First Order, and one of them caused a huge commotion. It was at the early Second Order, but he was already twelve years old.

"Nu Ling!"

Following Tuoli's shout, the crowd gradually calmed down. Countless pairs of eyes fell on Nu Ling.

In the younger generation of Angry Axe Clan, except for Nu Tian, and there are a few teenagers who are strong and have potential... Among them, Nu Ling was the one who had high hopes placed on him. He was now eleven years old. Last year, he had already entered the second step of the Violent Aura. After a year of cultivation, he had finally broken through to the second step of the Violent Aura. He was now at the intermediate Second Order. However, although some of the people in the clan knew his strength... For example, Nu Lan, who was training them, had yet to pass the test to determine his grade. In name, he was still at the early Second Order.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Nu Ling walked out of the line with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He walked slowly to the front of the wood. He held the Battleaxe with both hands confidently. His hot eyes looked at his grandfather, father, and Violent Bear Clan notary who were sitting in front of him. He took a deep breath, and a burning light was rolling in the depths of his eyes.

"Chi -"

The Battleaxe drew a beautiful arc in the air, and cut straight into the tree. Unlike the others, the Battleaxe was only less than a foot away from the bottom of the tree.

An exclamation came from the crowd.

Nu Shuo and the others smiled and nodded slightly.

The notary sent by the Violent Bear Clan praised, "Not bad, not bad. I believe that it won't be long before another young man of the third rank will be born from the noble family!"

"Hehe, he is only a Middle Second Order. A child of the Violent Bear Clan who has reached this level. I'm afraid there are at least a dozen of them!" Nu Shuo said in a flat tone. Although Nu Ling's talent was not as good as the heavens, reaching the intermediate Second Order at the age of eleven could be considered a medium grade talent.

The notary smiled proudly and did not deny it.

Tuoli pulled out the Battleaxe and loudly announced, "Intermediate stage of Tier 2!"

Everyone clicked their tongue and praised Nu Ling's rapid progress. It was very likely that he would break through to the Third Order before the age of twelve, and how he would bring glory to his ancestors in the future.

Nu Ling's face was full of pride when he heard this, and he even felt a little smug.

Nu Shuo's deep eyes looked at his self-proclaimed proud grandson, then at the notary who had a light smile in his eyes. His old face felt hot, and he quickly looked at Tuoli.

Tuoli shook his head helplessly. Although Nu Ling had a good talent in the family, his temperament was far from being as steady as the heavens.

"Next, Yuan!" Tuoli shouted loudly. He deliberately used some strength to make this sound.

Nu Ling's eardrums buzzed. His body shook, and he woke up from the feeling of floating. He had not enjoyed the scene just now. He curled his lips helplessly. When he saw Dugu Yuan walk out of the group, he faintly snorted with contempt. He walked back to the group.

Dugu Yuan was the last one.

However, even though he was the last one, when he appeared, the crowd still didn't disperse. In fact, everyone's faces were full of excitement. They all carried some kind of strange anticipation. Their shining eyes were fixed on Dugu Yuan.

Sensing the focus of everyone's eyes, the corner of Dugu Yuan's mouth revealed a bitter smile. He arrived in front of the pagoda and grabbed the Battleaxe.

Tuoli's expression was strange. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Hehe, Yuan, use all your strength. Don't hide anything!"

Dugu Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly. "Got it!"

Tuoli chuckled and took two steps back.

Dugu Yuan held the handle of the axe with both hands and stood proudly in front of the tree. A biting cold Qi suddenly erupted from his body.

The eyes of the Violent Bear Clan's notary lit up. An ordinary young man... He had focused on cultivating the Violent Aura, and his combat experience was almost zero. So, it was naturally impossible for him to have any Qi from his body. However, Dugu Yuan was different. In his previous life, he was the champion of the free-for-all, who had gone through hundreds of battles. In this life, he entered the mountain forest and fought with wild beasts. Naturally, his aura was different.

"Ah? - - -"

Dugu Yuan roared. The Battleaxe turned into a stream of light and entered the tree without making any sound. In the blink of an eye, the three feet thick tree was cut into two halves by the Battleaxe.

"This..."

The notary's eyes were wide open. He was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. What shocked him wasn't how high Dugu Yuan's Violent Aura was. In the Violent Bear tribe, there were also youths at the second or even the third level at the age of ten. This was not rare. What shocked him was the murderous aura that Dugu Yuan had just displayed. It could be said that he was as calm as a deep pond. He did not stir up any waves. He moved like a bolt of lightning and killed in an instant.

The crowd who were watching let out a loud sigh. The praises were many times more intense than before. When they entered Nu Ling's ears, they pierced his heart like thin needles. His face was red and swollen, and he was gnashing his teeth in anger.

Nu Shuo looked at the notary with a strange expression and revealed a helpless smile. "Uh... Yuan, this child is strong!"
