Chapter 26

The Saintess knew Tang Sen very well. Over time, she had gotten a clear understanding of his temper. She knew that it would be pointless to say anything more about the issue; hence, she decided to be more gentle to gain more benefits.

“I’ll clean this up.” The Saintess did not speak with any pompous vocabulary. The Saintess was just a shy girl when they first met, but Tang Sen could see composure and restraint in her eyes.

Tang Sen did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around and flew toward the Ferocious Tiger Tribe. This time, the visit to the Capricorn Tribe was not a fruitless trip for Tang Sen. One of the things he gained was a sense of familiarity with every tribe.

Tang Sen was extremely confident this time. After going to the Capricorn Tribe, he experienced a surge in his strength.

Doing such a thing was the best way to test his power.

In fact, the Ferocious Tiger Tribe was of mediocre size. Unlike the other tribes, they did not have any interaction with other smaller tribes. The Ferocious Tiger Tribe did not have any neighboring tribes that they could rely on.

At this moment, the Ferocious Tiger Tribe was the most vigilant of all tribes. When Tang Sen went over, he discovered that the Ferocious Tiger Tribe was calmly waiting for his return.

“Are you the so-called Divine Spirit?” asked the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief. He had to admit that the Ferocious Tiger Tribe definitely had a reason for being strong.

For normal tribes like the Aquila Tribe or the Brazen Bull Tribe, the chiefs would usually be the tribe’s respected elders who had rich experience in handling matters and good connections that they had accumulated in their lifetime. Basically, they were the special ones of their respective tribes.

Although they had great power and authority, they would still look after the weaker ones.

But the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief clearly wasn’t selected by virtue of those qualities. The Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s members were very strong. Considering their power, the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief was definitely a powerhouse.

Thus, the way to defeat the Ferocious Tiger Tribe was actually exceptionally simple. One just had to defeat the tribe’s powerful Chief.

Tang Sen did not answer the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief and instead said coldly, “Why are you attacking my people?”

“Your people are weak, so it’s nothing to attack them a few times,” answered the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief straightforwardly. In their opinion, such a battle was considered a trivial matter.

This world’s laws were complicated yet simple. In the end, it was all about the survival of the fittest.

In fact, Tang Sen knew that there was nothing too wrong with this logic. Most of the time, Tang Sen believed in this principle too. Hence, he didn’t make a surprising choice at this moment.

As he stared at the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief in front of him, Tang Sen asked, “Does that mean it won’t matter if I kill you if I’m stronger than you?”

The Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief was clearly stunned to hear Tang Sen’s question. “Of course. If I lose to you, it’d be due to my incompetency.”

“I hope you will keep to your word.” Streaks of flames began to appear as Tang Sen spoke, though they were not large. In fact, Tang Sen was trying to test the abilities of the tribe’s chief.

But Tang Sen soon discovered that the tribe’s chief dared to say this because he had a certain amount of strength. Although Tang Sen had suppressed his strength, he was shocked to see the person in front of him dodging the fireball.

However, those behind the chief did not seem to approve of his decision. Seeing that their chief seemed to be in trouble, they indignantly wanted to join the battle.

“Surely you’re not thinking that I’m trying to fight with you guys one-on-one, are you?” Although Tang Sen did not say this in the beginning, many of them still felt awkward now that things had escalated to this point.

“Yeah! You’re not thinking that we want to fight you one on one, are you?” The chief laughed out loud at this moment. He was clearly amused by the fact that Tang Sen believed him.

Finding it interesting, Tang Sen said, “Since you’ve already said so, let’s do it.”

When Tang Sen spoke, a lotus flower suddenly bloomed. Unlike the blue lotus, this one was red and especially resplendent.

Unlike the Blue Lotus Sword Song’s blue lotus, this red lotus flower was just a bud that slowly circled the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief and the person who had stood out.

Then, the lotus flower suddenly bloomed.

The blooming lotus flower left another red mark on the body of the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief, followed by an extreme burning sensation. When the mark burned, the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief died before he could even scream.

Thus, the matter came to a perfect end.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s Chief. Energy Points +6,360.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning a member of the Ferocious Tiger Tribe. Energy Points +3,260.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for burning a weed. Energy Points +2.”

…

By the time Tang Sen reacted, the arrogant chief was already burned to ashes. “I’m sorry; I couldn’t control myself.”

Tang Sen’s apology was clearly insincere, but the tribe members quickly retreated after hearing his words. They had clearly gained a new understanding of the Divine Spirit in front of them.

“What about you guys? Are you willing to follow in the footsteps of your chief?”

“No, you’re the true powerhouse. We’re willing to follow in the footsteps of the strong. We’ve indeed harmed your people, but we’re now willing to worship you,” the person in front said loyally.

The person who spoke was not old, and nobody objected to his words. They clearly thought the same.

Tang Sen did not expect the Ferocious Tiger Tribe to think that way. However, he obviously accepted them since they would give free Strength of Faith. In fact, Tang Sen had already discovered that it was getting harder and harder for him to advance. Hence, he did not turn the Ferocious Tiger Tribe down when they asked to follow him.

“Congratulations, Host. You have gained the Ferocious Tiger Tribe’s faith. Strength of Faith +3,000!”
