On the vast clearing, two Swift Soldiers were driving two figures toward the open space.
One was from the Giant Ghost Clan, bulky in build, although quite shorter than Ah Tuo, still stood two to three zhang tall.
As for the other one, also an exotic species with pale blue skin, just significantly thinner and even three parts shorter than an undernourished individual of the Human Clan.
This was the Dwarf Ghost Clan, whose strength might not be as formidable as the Giant Ghost Clan’s, but their speed was very fast and they were exceedingly troublesome to deal with.
After bringing the individuals from the Giant Ghost Clan and the Dwarf Ghost Clan to the arena, the two Swift Soldiers saluted Lin Qian and retreated to leave.
"This young man..." Zhao Wei looked at Lin Qian, his shock still not subsiding after a long time.
He had been forcibly captured too, and upon seeing that the person commanding that mysterious Human Clan expert was such a young man, Zhao Wei simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Latter on, this young man declared that he would assist his tribe, providing them with food, clothing, and shelter like those of the Stone Tribe.
Moreover, he added that if they wanted their people to live better, they must listen to his commands.
Zhao Wei’s choice, like that of the other tribal members, was to challenge Lin Qian. If he lost, the other party would deal with him as they saw fit.
The outcome was a miserable defeat.
While Zhao Wei was pondering, Qian Ling next to him suddenly shouted, "Brother Zhao, look quickly."
Hearing Qian Ling’s words, Zhao Wei also looked up toward the front.
"Eh? Aren’t those the Clan Leaders of the Stone Tribe and the Qin Tribe?" Spotting the two elders walking onto the clearing, Qian Ling voiced his surprise.
Being one of the four leaders of the Human Clan in this Small World, Zhao Wei knew who each tribe’s Clan Leader was. That included Shi Yun and Qin Xing. Furthermore, after they were captured, they had been hosted by the two of them.
It wasn’t just Zhao Wei and Qian Ling who saw them; Sun Ang, Li Yi, and other tribal Clan Leaders were all staring at the newly arrived Shi Yun and Qin Xing.
They could clearly sense something unfamiliar about the aura of these two individuals.
Because Shi Yun and Qin Xing were now facing the Giant Ghost Clan and Dwarf Ghost Clan members that were herded there.
"If you two want to live, fight against them," Lin Qian pointed at Shi Yun and Qin Xing and said to the Giant Ghost Clan and Dwarf Ghost Clan, "Victory or defeat will determine life or death. Win and you leave alive; lose and you’ll be killed on the spot."
After Lin Qian finished speaking, the tribal Clan Leaders present were utterly shocked, and the Dwarf Ghost Clan and Giant Ghost Clan members were equally astonished looking at Lin Qian.
Among them, the Dwarf Ghost Clan member sinisterly said, "You, Human Clan, I must admit, are indeed strong. But sending these two to fight us is just sending them to their deaths."
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, a wave of the hand suddenly condensed Soul Power into a palm print of normal size that struck the Dwarf Ghost Clan member’s face.
The Dwarf Ghost Clan member was knocked to the ground with a swollen palm print on his face.
"I didn’t give you permission to speak, so shut your mouth," Lin Qian said coldly, looking at that Dwarf Ghost Clan member without a hint of emotion.
In Lin Qian’s heart, neither the Dwarf Ghost Clan nor the Giant Ghost Clan were considered beings worthy of being treated as equals.
Upon learning how the Human Clan was being raised like livestock in this Small World and after witnessing firsthand how the Giant Ghost Clan devoured his fellow clansmen, Lin Qian had resolved to utterly annihilate both these species.
The Dwarf Ghost Clan member, clutching his face, got up from the ground and didn’t dare to look at Lin Qian again, only able to swallow his anger and glare hatefully at Shi Yun in front of him.
"A species that bullies the weak and fears the strong, craven and afraid of death, is truly despicable!" Seeing this scene, Lin Qian’s eyes were filled with scorn.
Faced with such a situation, the Human Clan would resist until the end, choosing to shatter rather than be whole but damaged. This was their spirit, this tenacity that had sustained the Human Clan of this Small World, allowing them to survive and thrive to this day.
"Attack!" As Lin Qian’s voice fell, Shi Yun and Qin Xing were the first to charge towards the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan.
Shi Yun faced the Dwarf Ghost Clan, and Qin Xing took on the Giant Ghost Clan.
The clan leaders of these tribes also widened their eyes, fixating intently on the situation unfolding before them.
Lin Qian, this unfamiliar young man from the Human Clan, radiated a mysterious aura and even managed to capture members of the Dwarf Ghost Clan and Giant Ghost Clan as prisoners, forcing them to work for him, which was astonishing.
Moreover, he possessed a quality they could not have—an air of racial pride.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, a clan leader pointed ahead, exclaiming in shock.
In front of them, they saw strange metals appear before Shi Yun and Qin Xing, materials exceedingly rare in the south.
These metals suddenly melted, forging into weapons that the two of them gripped in their hands.
At the same time, Qin Xing’s speed also suddenly increased, catching up to the pace of the Dwarf Ghost Clan and engaging them in combat.
This scene utterly shattered the tribal leaders’ understanding. In the past, facing the Dwarf Ghost Clan’s far superior speed, they had no way to cope.
But now, the clan leader of the Qin Tribe not only kept up with the movements of the Dwarf Ghost Clan but also swiftly wielded his short sword, completely suppressing the opponent.
On the other side, Shi Yun wielded a broad, heavy sword in both hands and began battling the Giant Ghost Clan.
The Giant Ghost Clan had immense strength and robust physiques, yet Shi Yun’s movements were far more agile, and his great sword repeatedly slashed, leaving wounds on the adversary.
In the past, members of the Human Clan, when faced with the overwhelming strength of the Giant Ghost Clan, could only be struck down, severely injured, and bleeding profusely.
However, Shi Yun, when forced to clash directly with the Giant Ghost Clan, although at a disadvantage, merely used more energy and was not injured.
Shi Yun and Qin Xing, compared to the past, had undergone a transformation so profound, it was like night and day.
The observing clan leaders even began to question whether Shi Yun and Qin Xing were truly from the Human Clan.
"The Dwarf Ghost Clan has speed and sharp claws; the Giant Ghost Clan possesses size and strength. The Human Clan, however, has the Martial Soul."
"The characteristic of the Human Clan is the combination of Soul Power and the Martial Soul, unleashing the abilities of the Martial Soul through the Elemental Weapon Armament, to maximize the power of the Martial Soul."
"Furthermore, the Human Clan possesses an exceptional capability to learn—all part of our racial Talent."
Lin Qian turned around, facing the tribal clan leaders, "The Human Clan is not weak. Having seen this, you should now understand. If you want to learn more, follow me."
After that, Lin Qian turned and walked towards the interior of the Stone Tribe, leaving the clan leaders looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhao Wei looked at Shi Yun and Qin Xing, who were fighting with the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan.
He had already realized that it was only a matter of time before Shi Yun and Qin Xing would slay these two rival clans.
Seeing this, Zhao Wei no longer hesitated and promptly chased after Lin Qian.
Following closely behind him, the other clan leaders also hurriedly followed Zhao Wei, running towards the direction Lin Qian had left in.
They did not realize that from this moment on, their fates were beginning to change entirely.
Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Small World, the forces of the Giant Ghost Clan and the Dwarf Ghost Clan were also quickly assembling.
Each member of the Giant Ghost Clan and the Dwarf Ghost Clan had a ferocity in their eyes, their crimson tongues licking their lips, as if reminiscing about the taste of human flesh.
