Chapter 194 The Rampage of the Tribal Chief
When Ah-Dai's angry and resentful roar echoed throughout the tribe, the tribal chief, who was Ah-Dai's father, felt an indescribable pain welling up in his heart.
Although the chief often appeared unrestrained and even flirted with single female tribespeople in front of others, this was merely a facade.
In fact, the tribal chief was an extremely traditional and conservative person.
Despite the large number of women in the tribe, the chief has never overstepped his bounds.
He may appear rugged, unrestrained, and dissolute, but deep down he is incredibly devoted and affectionate.
And this devotion was entirely poured into his only son, Ah-Dai.
Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on him. When Ah-Dai was still young, his mother was attacked by a ferocious soul beast from the wild and was eventually carried away by the beast.
From that time on, the tribal chiefs swore an oath never to marry or take concubines again.
Over the years, he has always kept this promise and raised Ah-Dai all by himself.
However, now, Ah Dai has actually challenged him.
According to the tribe's long-standing rules, if the chief accepts the challenge, he must go all out and hold nothing back.
Because if Ah-Dai loses, according to the rules, he will never be qualified to challenge his father again in his lifetime.
Therefore, considering the issue from the perspective of the leader's personal interests, if one day he were to encounter misfortune or become too old and frail to continue leading the tribe, the tribe would very likely fall into a tragic state of complete collapse due to the lack of a suitable leader.
Thinking of this, the tribal chief couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry and helplessness.
Therefore, since Ah-Dai turned sixteen, almost every year, Ah-Dai would muster up the courage to challenge him once or twice.
However, faced with Ah-Dai's repeated provocations, he would always try to persuade and admonish Ah-Dai for various reasons.
Not only that, he would also explain to his people that it was just a joke played by Ah Dai.
As time quietly passed and the days went by, the people in the tribe gradually came to understand the matter without saying a word.
They all knew perfectly well that Ah-Dai wasn't really joking, but Ah-Dai, true to his name, was too straightforward and didn't understand the concept of flexibility.
Whenever he was rejected, he would rush straight onto the ring and roar and howl angrily by himself, as if to vent all the intense resentment in his heart.
Whenever he witnessed this scene, he, as the leader, would feel a heart-wrenching pain!
However, today, when he looked at Ah-Dai again, he found that the person in front of him was very different from before.
To be precise, what he saw was Ah Dai after he had completed the possession of his martial spirit.
At this moment, Ah Dai's entire body was covered with thick, tiger-like fur, and a hard exoskeleton extending from the inside out grew on all parts of his body. From a distance, he looked exactly like a living, ferocious beast!
More importantly, Ah Dai unleashed his two great soul skills without hesitation.
Although there was no specific target at the moment, Ah Dai still managed to unleash his soul skill completely.
Its originally ordinary-sized body had now grown to be as huge as a mountain, leaving people speechless.
And standing prominently beside his incredibly broad frame were three undead white tigers!
Each of these white tigers was enormous and exceptionally powerful, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, as if they were messengers from the deepest hell.
Whether in terms of size or appearance, these three undead white tigers undoubtedly possess the powerful aura and ferocious appearance that only thousand-year-old soul beasts have, making people feel terrified and chilled to the bone with just one glance.
Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, the leader was instantly struck dumb, as if by lightning.
However, it must be said that this leader has experienced many storms over the years and is quite old. His experience and knowledge are extraordinary, and his acceptance of all kinds of strange things is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Despite his shock, he quickly regained his composure and swiftly grabbed a member of the hunting party.
"Explain yourself clearly, why has Ah-Dai become like this?"
The leader roared furiously, his voice filled with rage and despair.
He simply couldn't understand it. Just yesterday, his well-behaved and sensible son was perfectly normal. How could such a drastic change have occurred overnight, turning him into this terrifying ghost?
At this moment, the hunting party member whose collar the leader had grabbed was already drunk and incoherent from the evening's drinking and revelry. Suddenly subjected to such rough treatment, he was completely unable to regain his senses.
Under the influence of alcohol, his body seemed to lose control, and the martial spirit hidden within him was released on its own like a wild horse.
It's important to understand that, as a part of a Soul Master's body, a Martial Soul can indeed become uncontrollable under certain special circumstances.
Especially when some Soul Masters drink too much, they often let their Martial Soul run wild under the influence of alcohol, or even use it to vent their emotions or show off their strength, which is what people often call "drunken madness".
However, the leader was quite lucky; the person he captured happened to be one of the guards that Wu Heyi had carefully selected.
This person's martial soul was just an ordinary coconut.
Although this martial spirit may seem ordinary, if a drunk person holds it in their hand and uses it as a weapon to smash others, its power should not be underestimated!
After all, even the most ordinary coconut can become a weapon that hurts people when combined with the brute force of a drunkard!
Sure enough, the drunkard grabbed a coconut and hurled it at the leader.
One, two... Although the sudden attack caught the leader off guard at first, he quickly adapted to the rhythm of the opponent's drunken rampage.
The leader flashed forward, delivering a powerful and precise kick that sent the man sprawling to the ground.
Just then, the leader's gaze swept around and he spotted Wu Heyi sitting around the campfire, eating and drinking heartily, only slightly drunk.
In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck the leader, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky.
He suddenly remembered that Wu Heyi had returned with the hunting team today, and that everyone in the hunting team had treated Wu Heyi with great respect along the way, especially his own son, who held Wu Heyi in the highest esteem.
At first, the leader didn't pay attention to these details, but now, looking back, he realized that there must be something fishy about them.
Without hesitation, he strode forward and rushed towards Wu Heyi's location like a whirlwind, reaching out a strong, powerful hand to grab Wu Heyi's collar tightly.
"Explain yourself! Did you do something to make my son look like that?"
At this moment, the tribal chief was extremely anxious, his face full of anger, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, like a lion about to go berserk, which made people shudder.
Wu Heyi saw his collar being grabbed and his whole body being lifted up and suspended in mid-air.
After all, everyone had drunk some alcohol, and the effects of alcohol made everyone's emotions more sensitive and impulsive than usual.
Even someone who is usually as gentle and honest as a clay figure would probably be provoked to a certain degree of anger at this moment.
Wu He's face was grim, and his tone was slightly cold as he said:
"Let go!"
Upon hearing those two words, the tribal chief's eyes widened, his face a mixture of disbelief and anger.
His hand trembled as he pointed at Wu Heyi, his voice shaking with excitement:
"Our tribe warmly and joyfully welcomes you to join us, and the children of our tribe even saved your life!"
But why...why did you treat my son like this?
At this moment, the leader was on the verge of anger and collapse, as if he would explode at any moment.
However, faced with this situation, Wu Heyi seemed not to hear anything, and simply repeated those two words coldly.
"Let go!"
