Chapter 165: Chapter 81: Northbound Journey, True Beast Posture Skill Perfected

“Acan, is there something you need?”

With the tribe’s reformation deepening step by step, establishing order from nothing, various chaotic matters kept Huo Chang extremely busy.

“This, the map for crossing the Giant Mountain Range into Dai Land.”

Shen Can replied without even turning his head.

Then, he felt his head being pushed aside as Huo Chang’s face nearly pressed against the map.

The crisis within the tribe that Shen Can noticed, as the clan leader, Huo Chang naturally saw it too.

However, for now, with Blazing Flame just having advanced, the strongest Celestial Vein in the tribe is only at the Fourth Layer. Although the Northern Lands are barren, resources to support warriors at the sixth or seventh layer of the Celestial Vein can still be found.

The premise is that everything develops stably and Xiaoyang doesn’t cause trouble.

Shen Can repeated the account from the middle-aged senior, and hearing it was a specially scouted forest path passable by ordinary members of the Human Race, Huo Chang truly admired the boldness of the ancestors.

“After all, it’s a map from eight thousand years ago, we must explore it thoroughly, who should we send?”

…

Shen Can and Huo Chang discussed for a long time, planning to first dispatch a team to explore the path.

The team was selected from the Flame Martial Soldiers, although they were just about to be selected, it coincided perfectly with this scouting mission.

The Northern Giant Mountain Range is far more dangerous than outside the mountains, sending ordinary tribe members would be sending them to their deaths, so to pave this path for Blazing Flame, elite warriors are naturally required.

The Flame Martial Soldiers were intended to be forged into elite warriors of the clan, making this their first mission.

“Let Huo Kui lead, for now, we’ll decide on a hundred members.”

Huo Chang thought for a moment and chose a commander for the team.

“Alright then, I’ll have Huo Tuan and Huo Long accompany them. While selecting members for the Flame Martial Soldiers, I’ll let these two follow Huo Yunn to learn some Witch Doctor Skills, at least recognize Witch Medicine, so that collecting them in the mountains for treating injuries becomes convenient.”

“Additionally, prepare more Witch Medicine to take along.”

…

Soon, the competition for the Blazing Flame Guard began, proclaimed as forging the elite of the Blazing Flame Division, where members joining the Flame Martial Soldiers would undertake more secretive training trials.

As for the northern expedition to scout the road, before the team entered the mountains, only Huo Chang and Shen Can knew about it.

During the preparation process, Shen Can suddenly thought of the group of tribe members who previously accompanied him to the valley, including the disciple Huo Fu.

He then shoved all of them into the scouting team at once.

This ensured the confidentiality of the information.

…

[Roar roar roar, you transformed into a multicolored tiger, after years of deduction, you have comprehended the tiger form’s true essence, practicing its spine like a bowstring, bending like a mountain, and from which understanding the fierce tiger’s heart-grabbing claw]

[You transformed into a Kui Ox, moo moo moo, this you are familiar with…]

[…Wild Bear Shakes the Earth, shoulders sunk waist twisted, power floods the springs, breath harmonious, can perform Bear King Embraces Mountain to strike the opponent]

[You transform into an ape, ape calls bone-shattering, retracting bones stretching muscles, raising hands as if climbing and leaping in the mountains, fingers tightly closed, can snatch weapons barehanded.]

[You performed Roc Spreads Its Wings, unfortunately lacking the divine charm, mortal form resolved with coo coo, repeatedly deducing several times, temporarily settling for second best, body like a rainbow’s wings, form like a condor, chirp chirp chirp…]

[After embodying five beast forms, you practiced repeatedly, covering gaps and errors, in the blink of an eye another hundred and twenty years passed, you finally completed the Five Desolates True Beast Stake Refining Method, restoring it to a top-grade refining technique]

The night was silent, Shen Can slowly opened his eyes, getting up from the bed.

Finally, the deduction was complete, counting tonight’s deduced lifespan cost, nearly seven hundred years of lifespan were invested in repairing this stake skill.

The main lifespan cost was in replacing the stag form with the Kui Ox.

This refining stake technique can be practiced with all five beast forms, or separately choosing one or several forms for cultivation.

Although Mountain Opening Realm martial artists seldom interact with Five Elements Source Power, after long-term cultivation of corresponding attribute refining techniques, they subtly absorb the corresponding Five Elements Source Power.

Additionally, one function of this refining stake skill is to aid Mountain Opening Realm martial artists in increasing their strength.

For instance, tribe members who have practiced the Kui Ox Refining Method can only raise their power to thirty desolations in the Mountain Opening Realm, not enough foundation for advancing to the Celestial Vein.

Thus, another stake skill can be chosen, although it’s hard to increase Qi Strength at the Mountain Opening Realm, choosing another stake skill can add extra strength.

Those capable can choose to practice three or four skills concurrently if possible.

Of course, practicing multiple stake skills will greatly increase the time and cost, and the specific effects will vary from person to person.

Overall, practicing all five stake skills together can mutually enhance the increase in strength.

After deducing the five stake skills, Shen Can first taught them to the Martial Hall and some clan soldiers.

The Martial Hall comprised selected talented youths, just beginning their cultivation, so beginning with the five stake skills was suitable.

In contrast, among the clan soldiers, some felt satisfied with the Kui Ox Fist, still experiencing Qi Strength enhancement, presently seeing no need to concurrently cultivate a second refining technique, while others considered trying it.

Shen Can decided to pass the stake skills down first to observe the effects, planning to promote them throughout the clan after several months.

Teaching the new refining technique wasn’t simply a matter of a few words. Shen Can personally went to the Martial Hall and the West Mountain Camp for instruction.

Some clan soldiers who initially didn’t want to cultivate changed their minds upon seeing the Ancestral Temple Keeper.

To Shen Can, the number of attendees made no difference, as he guided them collectively, correcting posture differences during the rounds.
