Chapter 250: Chapter 250: You Are Too Weak
Early in the morning, Ren Changsheng also got out of bed. Led by the Female and the Herdsman, Ren Changsheng arrived at the huge martial arts arena. As he arrived, the eyes of the entire Tianyuan tribe converged on him.
"Who is this person, why have I never seen him before?"
"I’ve seen him, he was brought back from the barren mountains by the Herdsman and the Female yesterday. I heard that the Priest plans to pass his position to him, and that’s why we were all gathered here today for this matter!"
"What? The Priest plans to pass his position to him? Is that true? This kid looks so frail, I could smash him into a meat patty with a single punch!"
"I’m the first to object..."
...
As soon as Ren Changsheng appeared, he was met with angry stares. Those eyes were filled with immense anger, while both the Herdsman and the Female had a glint of joy in their eyes.
The two had spread the news early on, intending to intimidate Ren Changsheng into giving up today.
Today, they planned to defeat Ren Changsheng in front of everyone, letting him know that the Priest’s position was not easy to hold.
Only the strongest man of the Tianyuan tribe deserved to stand in that position.
In the martial arts arena, in addition to the men’s angry stares, there was also the disdain in the women’s eyes. Although these women were not as gigantic as the Herdsman and the Female, they were also very strong. At least aesthetically, Ren Changsheng did not particularly appreciate them.
Of course, Ren Changsheng might not like that, but the people of the Tianyuan tribe did, especially the stronger the woman, the more popular and appreciated she was. The weaker ones would be directly scorned, even to the point where no man would marry them.
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, a light cough sounded.
Following this cough, the figure of Li Lin slowly approached the martial arts arena.
"Greetings to the Priest!"
"Greetings to the Priest!"
...
As Li Lin arrived, everyone’s eyes instantly became respectful, looking at Li Lin with genuine reverence.
"What you have come here for today, I suppose everyone already knows. I was injured by a demon beast last time, and I fear I don’t have much time left. The Priest’s position needs someone to inherit it!"
Li Lin looked at the crowd with a deep voice.
"Priest, Sir!"
Tears welled up the crowd’s eyes.
Li Lin was originally a powerful Grade Four Primordial God, holding a not-so-low status even in the impoverished lands, but for their sake, he has now ended up in such a plight, how could they not feel guilty!
"The position of Priest, I wish to pass to Ren Changsheng!"
At this moment, the Priest’s deep voice rang out.
As the Priest spoke these words, everyone’s gaze once again fell upon Ren Changsheng.
"It’s really being passed on to him!"
The Herdsman and the Female clenched their fists but said nothing. Although some of the Tianyuan tribe’s disciples felt dissatisfied in their hearts, no one stood out in this moment.
For this Priest, their hearts indeed held great respect, and even though Ren Changsheng had not won their approval, there was no opposition at this moment.
"You must all feel somewhat unconvinced, right?"
Looking at the crowd, Ren Changsheng stood out. They had been so loud just now, but now not a single word was uttered, clearly indicating their discontent.
"Convinced?"
The crowd glared angrily at Ren Changsheng. If it were not for Li Lin being here, they might have lashed out at Ren Changsheng then and there.
"Why has the Great Priest ended up in such a plight within the Tianyuan tribe, and why have you become a target for the demon race? Do you understand why?"
At this moment, Ren Changsheng’s indifferent voice suddenly arose.
Ren Changsheng looked at the crowd with a stance that made everyone tremble and felt an almost irresistible urge to prostrate themselves in worship.
"The Emperor’s Majesty!"
And in the Priest’s eyes, a gleam emerged. The Ren Changsheng before him was a natural-born leader; within Ren Changsheng, an imperial aura manifested.
This imperial majesty, only a handful of those in the entire primordial wilderness possess it.
Even fewer amongst the human race, the Priest has only ever seen it on the person of Emperor Fu Xi. As for others, he has never witnessed it.
Yet Ren Changsheng before him bears this imperial majesty, which solidifies the Priest’s conviction that his decision was correct. Ren Changsheng’s future is bound to be outstanding, and entrusting the Tianyuan Tribe to him is absolutely a wise choice.
"Why is that?"
Mu stepped forward, bellowing angrily.
"Because of weakness!"
Ren Changsheng’s voice was ice-cold, void of any trace of emotion, and these two words exploded in the ears of the crowd like thunder, causing the bodies of the Tianyuan Tribe disciples to tremble.
Because of weakness?
The demonic tribes attacked the Tianyuan Tribe because they were weak.
The Priest was injured because they were weak.
The plight of the Tianyuan Tribe today was also because they were weak. Every fault, all faults, stemmed from their weakness.
"You..."
Mu’s face turned beet red, and at this moment, the other disciples of the Tianyuan Tribe also looked at Ren Changsheng with faces full of anger. They were indeed weak, but it was not Ren Changsheng’s place to say so. In their eyes, it was Ren Changsheng who was weak.
"This youngster, not bad!"
The Priest looked at Ren Changsheng with appreciation. As for the furious gazes of the Tianyuan Tribe, the Priest didn’t even glance at them. This rage would soon turn to respect and awe. Within the Tianyuan Tribe, only strength could command respect.
"What? Are you dissatisfied? As one of the first batch of Innate humanity, your cultivation has only reached the level of an 8th rank Primordial God. Do you think you’re strong?"
"In my eyes, you are but trash, an outright piece of trash!"
Ren Changsheng looked at Mu, his voice cold.
"You..."
Mu trembled with rage, his entire face crimson.
Trash?
Every word of Ren Changsheng pierced to the heart.
"The two of you, come forth together!"
Ren Changsheng looked at Pin and commanded coldly.
"What do you want to do?"
Pin shouted coldly, also brimming with anger at the moment. Although the two of them were among the weaker of the first batch of Innate humanity, it was not Ren Changsheng’s place to judge.
"If you want to be convinced, then I’ll oblige you. Someone, bring me a weak Black Chicken Egg!"
Ren Changsheng ordered coldly.
"What does he want with the Black Chicken Egg?"
A group of people watched Ren Changsheng, pausing slightly. Black Chicken Eggs were laid by the weakest of demonic beasts in the entire primordial wilderness and were also a major food source for humanity.
These Black Chickens were easy to raise and ubiquitous. Their meat could be consumed, and the eggs they laid were also nutritionally valuable.
"Fetch one!"
The Priest said indifferently.
"Yes!"
A figure quickly retreated.
In the martial training field, the crowd watched Ren Changsheng with flashing eyes, eager to see what he was planning to do.
"The Black Chicken Egg is here!"
In a moment, a Black Chicken Egg was brought forward. With a wave of his hand, Ren Changsheng made the egg appear in his grasp, holding the Black Chicken Egg in one hand, he put the other behind his back.
"If you want to be convinced, then I’ll oblige you. Today, with one hand behind my back and the other holding this Black Chicken Egg, if you can injure this Black Chicken Egg in the slightest, or cause me the slightest harm, then I, Ren Changsheng, will leave!"
Standing in the martial training field, the proud voice of Ren Changsheng resounded.
