Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 574: Chapter 551: Grand Leader 69

Yan Shuangshuang carefully memorized the meridian paths the energy traveled through within her body. After breaking through to become a second-level warrior, her first reaction was to immediately find a safe place and follow the energy route she’d memorized along her meridians. She cautiously ran her warrior power along this path a few times.

This time, Yan Shuangshuang clearly felt a slight increase in the power within her body after it circulated a few times.

If Yan Shuangshuang didn’t regularly circulate her warrior power internally and have such a precise understanding of her internal power, she might not have noticed this subtle increase in strength.

Just this tiny increase in power made Yan Shuangshuang excited. She obsessively kept circulating her internal power, feeling that subtle increase each time, like she had discovered the most intoxicating thing in the world.

She nearly forgot everything else and continuously circulated her internal power, feeling a slight increase each time it made a complete circuit through her meridians.

Yan Shuangshuang persistently propelled her power through her meridians, and over days of cultivation, these minute increases in strength accumulated into something greater.

In a trance, Yan Shuangshuang thought that this method of continuously circulating and increasing her power was cultivation. The feeling of gradually becoming stronger was truly addictive.

When Yan Shuangshuang finally awoke from her mesmerizing cultivation and thought of returning to the Yanhuang Tribe, she realized that in her effort to break through to a second-level warrior, she’d been away for more than a month. The sun in the sky had risen again, signaling the approach of the hot season.

Upon returning to the Yanhuang Tribe, she found the tribe people busy storing food for the hot season. There was meat being cured, sweet potatoes laid out to dry, a new wave of White Stone Fruits being harvested, and a large number of cannibal fish being hung up and made into salty dried fish.

The cannibal fish in the river were still fierce and easy to catch. Because they were too easy, to prevent laziness leading to a weakening of personal power and preserve the river’s ecosystem, Yan Shuangshuang had already set a rule: except when preparing for the hot or cold seasons or when hunting didn’t supply enough food, people were not allowed to catch cannibal fish from the river.

Now, the Yanhuang Tribe population was over 1,300, with more than half being warriors. With so many hunting, there was no shortage of meat within the tribe.

So on normal days, people in the tribe didn’t have the chance to eat cannibal fish. Those who liked fish eagerly anticipated the arrival of the hot or cold seasons to catch plenty and enjoy.

In the bustling, busy tribe, the first to notice Yan Shuangshuang’s return was Sang Nan. As a second-level warrior, his senses were more acute than others, so he was the first to notice her arrival.

Not only did Sang Nan first notice Yan Shuangshuang’s return, but he was also the first to realize she had become a second-level warrior because her internal strength was significantly greater than ordinary warriors.

Today, the Earth King Beast wasn’t in the tribe. Specific people in the tribe were responsible for harvesting grass for the Earth King Beast and picking some ripe wild fruits. Of course, only half of the fruits were collected; the rest were left for the small creatures in the forest that relied on them.

These harvested goods were many and heavy. The tribe members alone couldn’t bring them back, but with the Earth King Beast’s immense strength, transporting them back was an easy task.

Because they moved with the Earth King Beast, these people on the outside were absolutely safe and entirely without danger. Therefore, those with the weakest physical constitutions and least attack power in the tribe did this job.

Newly-minted second-level warrior Yan Shuangshuang, upon seeing Sang Nan, immediately gave a signal challenging him to a duel with sparkling eyes, saying eagerly, ”Brother Sang Nan, let’s have a battle!”

Sang Nan was also a battle enthusiast. Over the years, he hadn’t found anyone who could match him among the second-level warriors, so seeing Yan Shuangshuang as a second-level warrior did stir his interest. Her challenge prompted him to agree instantly.

Yan Shuangshuang took a deep breath, instantly mobilizing her warrior power throughout her body. Becoming a second-level warrior, coupled with her cultivation, allowed her to use her power a bit lavishly.

Previously, in battles, Yan Shuangshuang dared only to use a little power, fearing her internal strength would be insufficient. But after her surge in power as a second-level warrior, she felt she had reached a well-off level.

She coated her fist with power and swung directly at Sang Nan’s abdomen. During his time in the Yanhuang Tribe, Sang Nan had also started learning to refine his warrior power distribution, so he knew how to finely manage his internal strength.

At this moment, he took a deep breath, allocated a bit of power to cover his fist, and met Yan Shuangshuang’s punch head-on without dodging!

This was different from their previous training-focused battles. Sang Nan chose to give it his all as a sign of respect to his opponent, Yan Shuangshuang.

Their fists, one large and one small, collided loudly, forcing both to slide back a little from the force of each other’s punches! Remarkably, Yan Shuangshuang and Sang Nan were evenly matched in this clash!

Both shook their fists. Due to the power covering their fists, neither was injured, though the clash left their fists aching. Yan Shuangshuang flexed her stiff fingers, and her knuckles cracked twice.

After shaking their hands, they exchanged a glance and simultaneously lunged at each other again. Sang Nan, a second-level warrior for a long time, was rich in battle experience and had robust internal power, employing broad, sweeping techniques in fights.

Although Yan Shuangshuang was newly promoted, her month of cultivation and awakening as an advanced warrior meant her warrior power was not inferior to Sang Nan’s. Although petite, her fighting style was forceful and she didn’t back down from power clashes with Sang Nan.

The commotion from their fight was immense. The power-infused stomps on the ground gave an illusion of the Earth King Beast running. Onlookers quickly gathered to form a circle, watching Yan Shuangshuang and Sang Nan go against each other.
