This has now surpassed the realm of bravery.
It is simply a death wish.
"Do you realize how much trouble your actions could bring to our clan?" Ghost Pupil solemnly said to Chi Tu.
Upon hearing these words, those who were initially tense due to the solemn atmosphere, like Li Zheng, laughed.
They saw no threat in the trouble mentioned.
Even annihilating their entire clan was not a big deal in their eyes.
Bing Xue’s roar came at this moment, and he charged towards Chi Tu with nine other clan members.
Seeing this, Li Zheng decisively took two steps forward, reached Chi Tu, and delivered a precise kick to Bing Xue’s abdomen, knocking him to the ground:
"Brothers, beat them all up together!"
Under the incredulous stares of other clans, the Player Clan’s new generation began brawling with the Ice Split Clan Members.
This scene left Ghost Pupil and Porlow utterly dumbfounded.
They had witnessed the courage of the Player Clan these past days. Although they verbally disagreed, they were inwardly convinced.
Yet, they never expected the Player Clan to be bolder than they imagined.
Not only did they provoke a fight, but they also dared to strike and beat up members of the Ice Split Clan’s New Generation, which was tantamount to gambling with their futures.
Outside the cafeteria, Kuang Sha noticed this scene and a smile appeared on his lips, but he did not enter the cafeteria to intervene.
The rules of the training camp were ironclad, and he would not change them for any race.
Fights in the cafeteria were within the rules, and even the Ice Split Clan could not alter them as long as no one died from hunger.
Allowing the Ice Split Clan to eat first was a gesture of reverence to the elders who had fought bloody battles on the front lines; this was already the generous edge of what rules allowed, other rules couldn’t possibly be changed.
"Boss, are we really not going to intervene?" a trainer standing next to Kuang Sha, while monitoring the cafeteria with his Perception, couldn’t help but ask.
"Dulling their sharpness is good, they need to experience some setbacks during their growth. Before I became an Official Soldier, I trained with a group from the Royal Family; they were initially as arrogantly overwhelming as these kids. After undergoing several setbacks together, they too toned down their edge... This is an inevitable process in becoming a warrior."
Speaking, Kuang Sha turned to look at his subordinate:
"I totally understand their arrogance. From a young age, their education was the history of race glory, knowing the splendid military achievements their ancestors had established. Who wouldn’t feel proud of that? If it were me, I’d be proud too. But this pride needs to be tempered by setbacks, then it becomes their fearless and strong motivation on the battlefield... As for now, their current pride seems more like pettiness."
"I understand," said the subordinate nodding, after listening to Kuang Sha’s explanation, then couldn’t help adding:
"What about the Player Clan?"
"They were brought by Elder You. Do you think the Ice Split Clan could really hold Elder You accountable?"
Inside the cafeteria.
The full melee turned into a brawl between Li Zheng and others against the Ice Split Clan Members.
The expressions of newcomers from other clans were hard to conceal their shock.
However, in terms of strength, Li Zheng and his peers were clearly no match for the Ice Split Clan Members.
The average Hunting Level of the Ice Split Clan’s New Generation was 25, and they weren’t wearing any suppression bracelets, creating a disparity in Physical fitness that put Li Zheng and his peers at a disadvantage.
The only advantage they had were their brawling skills.
After more than ten days of intensive brawling training, Li Zheng and his peers had learned many fighting techniques.
Eye-poking, groin-striking, low-kicking... A myriad of underhanded moves emerged endlessly, inflicting dual blows on both the body and spirit of the Ice Split Clan’s New Generation.
Ice Split Clan Members were beaten to the brink of emotional collapse.
To resolve the battle quickly, Ice Split Clan Members chose to release their racial abilities, raising their hands to harness the power of Extreme Cold.
Each punch that landed on Li Zheng and his comrades made them shudder uncontrollably. They could distinctly feel a surge of ominously cold air invade their bodies, even their movements became slow, and they breathed out icy mist with each breath.
Seeing this, Ghost Pupil and Porlow exchanged glances, and a tacit understanding formed between them.
For the future of their race, they decided not to join the fight and help the Player Clan beat up the Ice Split Clan.
However, they could provide support in some roundabout ways.
At this moment, Ghost Pupil charged at Porlow, who then grabbed Ghost Pupil’s arm, twisted his hips, and turned around, forcefully throwing Ghost Pupil towards an Ice Split Clan member who was gathering Ice Cold Power.
The Ice Split Clan member was knocked down by Ghost Pupil, the Ice Cold Power in his hands dispersed, and then Ghost Pupil decisively helped him up, continually apologized, pointed at Porlow, and muttered a few words through gritted teeth, before charging at Porlow again to engage in a tussle.
After several days of group brawls, a tacit understanding had formed among the races.
Seeing the actions of Ghost Pupil and Porlow, they realized the hidden purpose behind their actions.
After a brief silence, the melee erupted once again.
However, during the fight, all the races observed the brawl between the Player Clan and the Ice Split Clan.
Once it was evident that the Player Clan was at a disadvantage in the brawl, they would think of ways to offer help by creating various accidents.
Their main goal was to covertly lend a helping hand.
Although it was displeasing to see the Player Clan, these beasts, the clans were even more displeased with the Ice Split Clan’s New Generation Members.
If the Player Clan were beasts, then the Ice Split Clan were haughty beasts, even more detestable than beasts.
The shuttle tore through space and arrived at the training field.
As the cabin door opened, an elder figure of the Ice Split Clan emerged.
But as he walked out of the door with a smile and looked towards the members of his clan by the training lineup, his smile abruptly ceased.
The younger generation within the clan had sunken cheeks, protruding cheekbones, and their skin tightly clung to their bones, their once smooth blue hair had become incredibly disheveled.
Especially their eyes, which had lost their usual sparkle and appeared hollow, staring fixedly at a nearby snow tree. Their mouths unconsciously opened slightly, and under the perception view, saliva was forming by their dry lips, occasionally swallowed down due to the dryness in the throat.
Their hands unconsciously crossed over their stomachs, as if forcefully pressing down on the emerging sense of void.
They want to eat trees?!
That was the thought that suddenly surfaced in the mind of the elder of the Ice Split Clan through his observations.
Just then, Bing Xue, who was at the forefront, turned her head to look at him, her lusterless eyes meeting his gaze, revealing complex emotions.
Surprise, anticipation, bitterness, grievance, resentment, joy... these complex emotions intertwined, causing her eyes to tear up.
At this point, Kuang Sha approached the elder of the Ice Split Clan and bowed respectfully:
"Ice Split Clan elder."
"What’s... what happened?" Seeing the distressed look on the faces of his younger clansmen, the Ice Split Clan elder asked in astonishment as he looked towards Kuang Sha.
Facing the inquiry, Kuang Sha turned to glance at the younger generation members of the Ice Split Clan, organized his words, and then explained:
"They don’t want to eat, I’ve tried persuading them..."
