“Master Wuzu, I’d like to challenge rank one, Shi.”

Wuzu couldn’t help but frown upon hearing Lu Chen.

“Ah’Chen, are you sure? I have to remind you, Xiao Shi is already a Barbarian Blood Warrior. You are talented, but your training is still lacking. I advise you to change to another opponent.”

One could only say Wuzu and the chieftain really valued Lu Chen a lot, else, Wuzu wouldn’t have given his advice.

Lu Chen could sense the goodwill coming from Wuzu, but the moment he thought of the Barbarian King’s Bloodline and the tremendous strength flowing in his body, Lu Chen insisted on his initial decision.

“It’s fine, I’m also looking forward to witnessing the strength of a Barbarian Blood Warrior.”

“You…”

Wuzu tried to say something but the chieftain suddenly interrupted.

“Granted.”

Then, the chieftain whispered to Wuzu, “The new power in him has boosted his confidence. At times like these, it’s good for him to wake up to the cruel reality from a terrible defeat. Besides, we are here to look after the situation, it’s going to be alright.”

And his words convinced Wuzu.

“Fine, it’s better to take a fall here than in the wild.”

After the chieftain and Wuzu agreed to the challenge, the crowd plunged into a noise of clamor.

It wasn’t common to see a Barbarian Blood Warrior fight, especially when it was a battle between young geniuses. Thus, the battle garnered the attention of many,

On the other side, Xiao Shi was swinging his limbs around, warming up for the battle as he walked to the plaza center. He looked at Lu Chen and a brutal smile spread across his face.

“You still dare challenge me after knowing that I am a Barbarian Blood Warrior. I must say, you are brave.”

“Let me show you the difference between a Barbarian Blood Warrior and yourself!”

However, Lu Chen didn’t reply to Xiao Shi. Instead, he continued to warm up his body.

After all, even when Lu Chen was confident in his Barbarian King’s Bloodline, Xiao Shi was a level higher than him. It wouldn’t be easy to defeat Xiao Shi.

While Lu Chen was warming his body, from the side, the chieftain said.

“The duel, now begins!”

As soon as the chieftain announced it, Xiao Shi bolted out like a charging bull toward Lu Chen.

On the other hand, Lu Chen also made a move. Like Xiao Shi and Da Shu, Lu Chen lowered his stance and also charged out to the front.

“Bull’s Charge!”

“Bull’s Charge!”

It was a small village, there weren’t many abstruse martial arts here in the village. Therefore, most of the matches in the village were competitions between their strengths and physiques.

Basically, whoever had a stronger body and greater strength would often be the winner. This was very different from the Central Plains where martial arts also played a big part in determining the winners, but this was the norm to the barbarians here in the WIlderness.

Lu Chen and Xiao Shi clashed like two high-speed cars.

Pang!!

Lu Chen felt his whoel body go numb.

Xiao Shi’s body was also made of flesh and blood, but the moment they clashed, Lu Chen felt as if he had slammed into a boulder, making his arms go numb.

But the attribute of +10 Constitution from the Barbarian King’s Bloodline had granted Lu Chen an incredible physique.

Lu Chen’s arms were quick to recover from the numbness and he swung a punch right at Xiao Shi.

While on the other hand, Xiao Shi’s face changed drastically when he saw Lu Chen still standing firmly on the ground from the clash. He was shocked that not only did Lu Chen not take a step back from the impact, but he even swung a punch back at him.

Impossible! His strength is on par with mine! But I’m a Barbarian Blood Warrior!

Moreover, he recovered from the clash faster than me and he isn’t even a Barbarian Blood Warrior yet!

Despite being shocked and in disbelief, Xiao Shi’s reaction as a Barbarian Blood Warrior was still swift.

Seeing that the punch was reaching him, Xiao Shi released a loud roar. Then, his skin turned red as the blood flow in his body increased.

At the same time, loud thumps of heartbeats resounded throughout the plaza.

[Boiling Blood].

It was a skill that almost every Barbarian Blood Warrior learned. In this skill, they would manipulate their blood and increase its flow in their bodies. This way, their bodies would enter an extreme state.

The Barbarian Blood Warriors in this extreme state would be able to unleash stronger powers and react faster.

At the same time, while Boiling Blood was in effect, the Barbarian Blood Warriors would also have reduced neural stimulus of pain.

In the effect of the Boiling Blood, Xiao Shi was even faster than Lu Chen. He raised his hand and blocked Lu Chen’s attack.

Peng!!

Their fists clashed and resounded through the plaza.

“Arghhh!!!”

Right after that, the red-skin Xiao Shi gave a loud battle cry and totally disregarded his defenses. Instead, he turned fully offensive and launched a barrage of punches down at Lu Chen like a madman.

He ignored everything, only concentrating on attacking. It was a perfect demonstration of a barbarian under the effect of the Boiling Blood.

Defense and evasions, what were those? The barbarians cared for none of it. All they had to do was charge into a battle bullheadedly and crush their opponents with absolute force!

Even Lu Chen was doing the same. He never thought of evading Xiao Shi’s barrage of attacks either. Not to mention that he wasn’t actually able to evade them even if he wanted to.

After all, despite the Barbarian King’s Bloodline being a Gold-grade skill like the Highlander, it only added to Lu Chen’s Constitution and Strength, not Agility.

Thus, Lu Chen’s only option against the mad Xiao Shi was to respond in kind.

Are you planning to compete with my body? Come on then! I have the Barbarian King’s Bloodline in me, I am afraid of no one!

“Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora…”

Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng…

Lu Chen and Xiao Shi were like two madmen, yelling their cries while punching each other nonstop. None of them took a step back from the heat of the fight.

They were exchanging punches to the point that their fists started bleeding. But even so, none of them took a step back.

The madness lasted for over 30 seconds. In this time, Lu Chen and Xiao Shi had each let out more than a hundred punches.

Most of the time, their punches would be blocked by each other’s punches, but there were also some punches that successfully landed on their bodies.

Wheter it was Xiao Shi or Lu Chen, none of them had taken any evasive action against the punches that struck their bodies. After all, they were both too close now, making an evasive maneuver would only create an opening for the consecutive punches to strike them down to the floor.

Therefore, Xiao Shi and Lu Chen could only tank the hits and endure them with their powerful bodies.

Lu Chen’s was relying on the Constitution granted to him by the Barbarian King’s Bloodline. The +10 Constitution was able to let Lu Chen endure the punches.

As for Xiao Shi, he was taking the punches by relying on the extreme state from the Boiling Blood that reduced his sensation of pain.

The situation soon approached a stalemate.

This was only common to see in the battles among the barbarians. In the Wilderness, the lack of martial arts gave them no choice but to compete solely with brute strength and their bodies.

If it were the ordinary barbarians, the battle would go on endlessly like this until one side couldn’t keep up anymore.

But clearly, Lu Chen wasn’t an ordinary barbarian.

At the very first moment when the battle started, a battle spirit had already started to fill in Lu Chen’s chest.

And the 30 seconds of high-intensity battle has peaked his battle spirit, even overfilling it.

Lu Chen didn’t suppress the battle spirit in him, he knew exactly what it was.

[Undying Rage].
