[Undying Rage].

It was the active skill from the Barbarian King’s Bloodline. The skill was fueled by Fury and could grant him strength beyond his usual limits. In the past 30 seconds of battle, Lu Chen had gathered enough Fury in him.

Undying Rage, activate!

With just a thought, the Fury gathered in Lu Chen’s chest rushed into his mind.

Then, a force of strength billowed up within Lu Chen’s body out of nowhere. Under the buff of the Undying Rage, Lu Chen’s body grew a head taller and at the same time, he felt the unlimited strength that filled his body. 

So this is how it feels to have power!

However, because it was the first time he used the skill, he needed some time to adjust to the sudden boost in his strength, and that led to a small opening in his stance.

Surely enough, Xiao Shi, who was in the extreme state, didn’t let the small window slip through his fingers. He seized the opening and launched a front jab at Lu Chen’s chest.

Victory is mine! I was right about him. Although I don’t know how did he get his strength, his stamina is lower than mine.

Seeing that his punch was nearing Lu Chen, Xiao Shi also felt victory closing to him.

But the last inch from landing his punch was a dream that would never come true for Xiao Shi.

Just when his punch was landing on Lu Chen’s chest, a hand suddenly appeared from the side and grabbed on his wrist.

Impossible!

Xiao Shi was utterly shocked feeling the irresistible strength that locked his wrist from moving further. 

“How can you have such strength!?”

During the exchange of punches, Xiao Shi had already acknoweldged Lu Chen’s sheer power.

But he only believed Lu Chen’s strength to be at the same level as his.

But now, the strength coming from Lu Chen’s palm was something way beyond Xiao Shi’s expectations.

After all, fighting back a punch with another punch and holding back a punch by grabbing onto it were two entirely different things.

Lu Chen was bleeding on the corner of his mouth and he smiled at Xiao Shi’s surprise.

“You are not the only one who has a burst skill!”

As he spoke, Lu Chen locked Xiao Shi’s punch with his hand and pinned Xiao Shi close in front of him. Then, his other hand pulled back high behind his head.

Xiao Shi, who had always been dauntless, noticed Lu Chen’s actions and a shiver traveled down his spine.

I’ll die from this next punch!

A thought couldn’t help but appear in Xiao Shi’s mind when he saw Lu Chen’s right fist high behind his head.

With the thought crossing his mind, Xiao Shi changed his stance. He who was on the offensive the whole time now raised his other hand up in front of him in defense.

For the first time, Xiao Shi, the Barbarian Blood Warrior, defended himself against Lu Chen’s attacks.

And this decision saved his life.

Krong—

It was the sound of the air rumbling. Lu Chen’s Undying Rage-enhanced right fist was like a force of nature, splitting through the air before direct landing on Xiao Shi.

Lu Chen’s bleeding fist first struck on Xiao Shi’s right arm.

But Xiao Shi’s defense wasn’t really effective at all.

The Undying Rage boosted Lu Chen’s strength by a hundred percent.

The boost in strength wasn’t just a hundred percent of an ordinary man’s strength, but a hundred percent of the strengths of ten men. This was far beyond Xiao Shi’s capability to withstand, even if he was a Barbarian Blood Warrior!

Accompanied by the sounds of bones rattling, Xiao Shi’s arm bones splintered, leaving him defenseless against Lu Chen’s next punch that landed on his chest.

When that punch connected, Xiao Shi felt exactly what Da Shu felt. The irresistible strength that left him powerless.

That strength sent him flying backward in the air.

At the same time, he spurted out blood nonstop from his mouth.

In just one strike, Barbarian Blood Warrior’s arm bones were fractured and he was sent flying backward in the air. Such was the power of Undying Rage.

Even after he delivered the punch that sent his opponent backward, the effects of the Undying Rage didn’t subside, causing Lu Chen to raise his head high and release a loud battle cry.

“ROAR!!”

The battle cry was so loud that the barbarians near him covered up their ears.

After some time, Lu Chen recovered his usual composure from the effects of the Undying Rage when his Fury was fully consumed.

However, Lu Chen wasn’t all that happy at all.

The Undying Rage is incredible, but under its effect, my battle spirit will increase tenfold and will stop all my thoughts of defense in the battle. It is rather risky.

Furthermore, I’ve used my full strength again. Will Xiao Shi be alright?

It wasn’t Lu Chen’s fault that he used his full strength now. After all, Xiao Shi and Da Shu were opponents of two different levels.

Lu Chen didn’t dare to hold back at all when faced with Xiao Shi, he even had to activate his Undying Rage.

But Xiao Shi was still the chieftain’s son, Lu Chen was worried there would be consequences for killing him.

While Lu Chen was worrying, Master Wuzu quickly rushed to Xiao Shi’s side and carefully inspected him. After a while, Wuzu heaved a breath of relief.

“Thankfully he took a defensive measure. His arm is broken and his internal organs damaged, but with the efficacies of the herbs and medicines, in addition to his body of a Barbarian Blood Warrior, he will recover in a month’s time.”

Be it the chieftain or Lu Chen, both heaved a long breath of relief after hearing Wuzu’s words. As long as Xiao Shi survived, nothing else was there to be worried about.

But soon, Lu Chen was surprised by the level of medical treatment and the body constitution of a Barbarian Blood Warrior.

A broken arm and internal bleeding in the organs, and that’s all going to recover in just a month’s time? I sure was right, the people in this world are all freaks.

But, other than the inherent recovery speed from the incredible body constitution of the Barbarian Blood Warrior, the medicinal herbs in this world also play a huge role in their recoveries. These herbs grow in environments filled with spiritual energy, they are naturally beneficial to human bodies.

When Lu Chen was thinking to himself, Wuzu approached him and said happily, “Good, good. Ah’Chen, you’ve given me a huge surprise!”

But the chieftain’s face was filled with a mixed expression. After all, it was his son who just got defeated. Even though he had seen this day coming, he never thought it’d come so quickly.

However, it didn’t take long until the chieftain let out a long breath.

He thought of the increasingly frequent occurrences of bizarre events involving the Evils in the past three days, especially during the night. Although the village was still able to control the situation now, it wouldn’t take long for him to lose confidence in protecting the village if the condition didn’t improve anytime soon.

A disaster could descend upon the village at any time now.

At times like these, the rise of a talent like Lu Chen was a source of great relief for him.

The stronger Lu Chen was, the more relaxed he could be. Of course, it would be best if his own son didn’t have to be a stepping stone to Lu Chen’s rise.

“Congratulations, Ah’Chen!”

“Thank you, chieftain.”

“Alright, Ah’Chen, take some rest now.”

Then, Lu Chen walked away from the stage.

As he moved, the young barbarians in the plaza also moved their eyes along with him.

The barbarians have always looked up to the strong ones. And after Lu Chen’s performance, he had cemented himself in the minds of the barbarians. 

However, the ranking battles didn’t end just here. The battles still carried on as usual.

But to be frank, the rest of the ranking battles weren’t eye-catching at all. After all, this wasn’t the Central Plains, there weren’t many abstruse martial skills to use. The barbarians’ way of battle was to purely compete with their own strengths and bodies.

Battles like the battle between Lu Chen and Xiao Shi were only common among the barbarians. Just that their strengths wouldn’t be as strong as Lu Chen’s and Xiao Shi’s strengths.

Meanwhile, no one was daring enough to challenge Lu Chen anymore since the battle.

It just couldn’t be helped. Even when Xiao Shi was sometimes a little conceited, his status of being the top ranked elite was a testament of his strength among his peers. For Lu Chen to be able to defeat Xiao Shi, it was only normal for the rest to avoid challenging him.

Even Jian, the second in rank, who had always wanted to defeat Xiao Shi, also knew that he was still weaker than Xiao Shi.

Seeing that Xiao Shi was defeated so badly by Lu Chen, Jian didn’t dare to challenge Lu Chen.

Just like that, Lu Chen only had to participate in two battles to spread his name across the village, claiming dominance over the young barbarians and gained the title of the “Strongest Young Barbarian” of the Wild Bull Village.

This also meant that his treatment in the village in the future would be so much better compared to before.

At the same time, the resources in the village would also prioritize him first.
