Chapter 628, Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Translator: Silavin

 

Su Bai stood before the bonfire, continuously observing the Warrior Trainees.

 

The flames within the bonfire were red. The red flames would not burn the firewood completely, so the bonfire was still continuously burning with flames.

 

All the Warrior Trainees displayed the Totem Mark on their bodies, which meant that all the Warrior Trainees had already awakened as Totem Warriors. This awakening could be called a great success.

 

“Now, the Tribe has gained sixty more Totem Warriors!” Su Bai said with satisfaction.

 

He also knew that having all the Warrior Trainees awaken as Totem Warriors this time was unprecedented. This alone could attract many people wanting to join the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

Su Bai already had this idea in his heart. When the time came, news of this would need to be spread.

 

This way, it could attract more talented people to flood into the Flame Dragon Tribe, and the Tribe could develop even further.

 

If they could not attract that many people, it did not matter either. This would also serve as a good warning to others.

 

A Tribe that could make all Warrior Trainees awaken as Totem Warriors with one hundred percent success. One could imagine how strong this Tribe’s foundation was.

 

This alone could make many Tribes abandon their thoughts of attacking the Flame Dragon Tribe. They could not afford such losses.

 

“Shaman, all the Warrior Trainees have awakened to become Totem Warriors.” Yan Jiao said, suppressing his excited emotions.

 

Although he kept suppressing his inner excitement, the expression on his face still showed everything.

 

After all, this was an unprecedented breakthrough for the Flame Dragon Tribe. This was also a sign that the Flame Dragon Tribe would become much stronger. If every year’s Totem Awakening Ceremony could have all Warrior Trainees awaken as Totem Warriors, then within just a few years, the Flame Dragon Tribe would become a powerful Large Tribe.

 

“I saw it. Let them stay to one side first. I’ll finish conducting the second ceremony before we continue.” Su Bai said seriously.

 

The reason the red flames in the bonfire had not completely extinguished was also inseparably related to conducting the second ceremony.

 

“Understood.” Yan Jiao nodded, turned around, and had someone notify the ‘Warrior Trainees’, now Totem Warrior.

 

They needed to have them give up their front positions and let those with strong, robust bodies come forward.

 

*Step step step…*

 

After more than ten minutes, all the ‘Warrior Trainees’ came to the very front of the square, but they all stood to the side.

 

Those ordinary people all stood in the places where the ‘Warrior Trainees’ had originally stood, which was right behind the Totem Warriors.

 

The ordinary people selected by the Tribe this time were quite numerous. There were a total of over two hundred people, with men comprising 80%.

 

Those ordinary people who were chosen also had excellent physical qualities and were just the right age.

 

Besides having more than half being young, there was also half who had not awakened as Warrior Trainees before.

 

But after these two years of training and physical strengthening, they were selected again.

 

After Su Bai saw that all the ordinary people had finished gathering, he continued closing his eyes and began chanting incantations.

 

“Su li gu gu li bu la…”

 

The incantations chanted this time were completely different from those used to help Warrior Trainees awaken as Totem Warriors. This time’s incantations would be more passionate.

 

The incantations for helping Warrior Trainees awaken as Totem Warriors were relatively gentle, so there were still great differences between the two.

 

Yan Hua and the others restrained their excited emotions and focused their gazes on the Shaman, also wanting to know who would replace them to become Warrior Trainees this time.

 

The Totem Mark on their bodies had not completely faded yet, still faintly glowing with red light.

 

Everyone had originally been excited about becoming Totem Warriors, but the second ceremony immediately followed.

 

To show respect, they still needed to be serious, after all, those ordinary people were also the Tribe’s hope.

 

Moreover, they would replace their future positions. They, who had just been promoted to Totem Warriors, still had many things to teach these newcomers.

 

All the young people in the Tribe looked up at the Shaman casting incantations, each person’s face filled with anticipation.

 

There was no other reason than being able to awaken to become a Warrior Trainee was a very glorious thing.

 

Becoming a Warrior meant they could start daily training and could use those weapons they had previously coveted but could never have the chance to use.

 

Most importantly, they might become Totem Warriors in the future to protect the Tribe. There were many more reasons like this. In short, becoming a Warrior Trainee was their dream.

 

“Do you think we can become Warrior Trainees?” A man in the crowd asked.

 

This man was the one who had previously been enslaved by the Black Snake Tribe, called Da Shan.

 

He was strong and tall. But since he had not been able to awaken as Warrior Trainees in the previous two years’ Totem Awakening Ceremonies, he had been doing various odd jobs in the Tribe to earn food.

 

“I don’t know, but I think it should be possible. We’ve worked so hard over these past two years.” Ah Hu said seriously.

 

He was also someone who had previously been captured by the Black Snake Tribe, and similarly, he had not been able to awaken as a Warrior Trainee for two years.

 

“I also think we can do it. I have a very strong premonition of it.” Huang Ye immediately said.

 

The three of them were all slaves who had previously been rescued from the Black Snake Tribe and originally belonged to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

The Flame Dragon Tribe paid special attention to those who had not become Warrior Trainees.

 

For example, they would have them do more physical labour or have them run laps daily along with other small training exercises.

 

This was to have them strengthen their Physiques, so that when the Totem Awakening Ceremony came, it could also increase their chances of awakening.

 

They had all transformed from initially being skinny monkeys to now having people with muscle definition, looking much more robust.

 

“We’re standing at the very front now. If we don’t awaken to become Warrior Trainees, it’ll be really embarrassing.” Da Shan sighed.

 

If it were not for the fact that people who had previously tried to awaken but couldn’t become Warrior Trainees had to stand in the front row, they would not choose to embarrass themselves like this.

 

“Don’t discourage yourself. Maybe this year we can awaken as Warrior Trainees?” Huang Ye encouraged.

 

“We’ve eaten good food these past few months and trained for quite a lot. We should be able to awaken.” Ah Hu also encouraged them.

 

Since being rescued from the Black Snake Tribe, their lives had gradually gotten back on track. The food they ate daily was more than enough, and the things they ate were also very delicious.

 

So, they now had the confidence that they could awaken as Warrior Trainees. They had long been waiting for the Totem Awakening Ceremony to arrive.
