C29 Wild Lion Family
C29 Wild Lion Family
Princess Yi Yun did not seem to catch the hint of the disdain in Chu Lin's words.
Instead, she simply explained her reasons for selecting Qi Wen with a calm expression.
"Now that Lord Qi Wen was defeated by you with such ease, however, our Wild Lion Family would like to invite you to represent us in the Gladiator Tournament."
Seeing the determined resolve in her tone, Chu Lin was worried that if he refused that she would run her head into a wall and kill herself on the spot.
If a great family wanted to maintain its longevity, the most important thing was to constantly replenish and produce fresh blood.
Those fresh blood would be the younger generation of the family who will inevitably carry the burden of their family's hopes.
Only with the constant influx of fresh blood would the great families be able to continue operating for the years to come.
Therefore, the Gladiator Tournament of the Roaring Tribe was a big event that each family attached utmost importance to.
After all, the result of this tournament would ultimately decide how much of the resources each family would receive for the next three years.
Only with sufficient resources would the families be able to maintain their power in the Roaring Tribe.
If any of the families run out of supplies , how would they be able to nurture their elite soldiers and increase the strength of their family's Awakened Practitioners?
As one of the three great families of Roaring Tribe, the Wild Lion Family would naturally not be willing to keep falling behind in the Gladiator Tournament.
But unfortunately, the only descendant of this generation in Wild Lion Family was a girl who did not possess the talent necessary to compete with the other two families.
No matter how hard Princess Yi Yun tried or how much she trained, she would never have any hope of catching up to the elite juniors of the other two families.
Thus, in order for their clan to persist, the Wild Lion Family will have no other choice but to ask the other Awakened Practitioners outside their family to represent them in the coming Gladiator Tournament.
"..."
With that, Chu Lin and Hong Moli followed Princess Yi Yun to the territory of the Wild Lion Family.
Upon entering the territory of the Wild Lion Family, Chu Lin narrowed his eyes as he stared at the huge golden statue of a fierce lion. The statue was made out of pure gold which stood as the crest and symbol of the Wild Lion Family.
Of course, there were also their family's genes.
Chu Lin's gaze swept across Wild Lion Family's territory before locking onto a rather conspicuous crowd under the golden lion statue.
Chu Lin sighed helplessly and said: "What am I getting myself into this time…"
Looking at Chu Lin's gloomy expression, Hong Moli thought back to Chu Lin's startled and dazed face just now.
Hong Moli covered her mouth with her hand as she began laughing out loud in a gloating manner.
"Little Brother Chu Lin, the harvest from your first trip to Roaring Tribe was pretty good. To think that you already found yourself a young woman as soon as we arrived."
Feeling the daggers pointing at her from Chu Lin's menacing gaze, she quickly shut her mouth up before she even finished laughing.
However, a trace of gratitude still appeared in her charming eyes as she secretly revealed a smile.
So it was true that Princess Yi Yun had invited Chu Lin into the Wild Lion Family to represent them in the coming tournament.
However, Chu Lin's identity was extremely different from Qi Wen's.
Qi Wen had long since been a guest Awakened Practitioner of the Wild Lion Family, so he already had the label of "Wild Lion Family" all over his body.
On the other hand, Chu Lin was a newcomer who was not even declared as a guest Awakened Practitioner. Thus, he could not simply serve as the representative for the Wild Lion Family in the Gladiator Tournament.
It would be a clear violation of the rules to ask for foreign aid in such a way.
Thus, Princess Yi Yun had arranged for a new identity to be given to him.
And that was as the Wild Lion Family's prince consort — Princess Yi Yun's fiancé!
Further analyzing Chu Lin from head to toe, Hong Moli looked at him with her squinted eyes and revealed a peculiar expression.
"Little Brother Chu Lin, what exactly is your gene ability?"
Whether it was before or now, Chu Lin had already proven himself to be strong.
However, Hong Moli found it strange that other than his basic fist techniques, there was nothing else he could do.
Now that she thought about it, Hong Moli seemed to have never seen Chu Lin use his gene abilities.
Chu Lin glanced quickly at Red Jasmine when he heard her question.
It wasn't that Chu Lin did not want to use his genetic ability, but rather that his ability was his rapid rate of recovery.
How was Chu Lin supposed to cast a passive skill?
As for the skill [Roar of the Nether], given by the Nether Wolf Gene...
Chu Lin wanted to use it as his trump card and did not want it to be exposed in front of others yet.
"My gene ability allows me..."
Chu Lin said casually.
Walking along their side, Princess Yi Yun twitched slightly and leaned closer towards Chu Lin upon hearing his words.
She too was curious about Chu Lin gene abilities.
After all, Chu Lin did defeat Qi Wen with three completed gene chains and even cause him to be severely injured without even using any of his gene abilities.
What kind of gene abilities did he have?
"... to utterly destroy any of my opponents."
Chu Lin's lips curved up in a sly smile as he winked and said.
"Tsk, petty brat."
Hong Moli rolled her eyes at Chu Lin.
Princess Yi Yun, who was leading the way, coughed lightly and almost choked on her own saliva.
Very quickly, the few of them arrived in front of the statue of the golden wild lion, surrounded by the elite warriors of the Wild Lion Family.
There was also a group of people waiting for them.
The leader of the group was a burly man with golden fur all over his face, which gave a him a rough appearance.
"Hehe, it seems that the main protagonist has finally arrived. My name is Yi Tianya, the Patriarch of Wild Lion Family and also Yi Yun's father."
Upon seeing Chu Lin and Hong Moli, Yi Tianya laughed heartily and greeted them warmly.
"Patriarch Yi Tianya."
Hong Moli bowed to Yi Tianya respectfully.
"Lady Hong Moli is even more beautiful than the rumors say." Yi Tianya laughed.
"Surely you jest, Patriarch. I only came here with the task to purchase goods. I hope to able to trade with the Wild Lion Family for more supplies."
Hong Moli took the opportunity to explain her intentions clearly.
"That's not a problem. If our Wild Lion Family does well in this time's Gladiator Tournament, then I would be more than willing to present you with some resources."
Yi Tianya waved his hand and said very straightforwardly.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for this deal.
Only after Chu Lin manages to obtain a good ranking in the upcoming tournament would the Wild Lion Family be willing to do so.
"Father, this is the brave warrior from Weiyang whom I brought back."
Princess Yi Yun bowed slightly to Yi Tianya and said respectfully.
"It's him. Lord Qi Wen was easily defeated by him before he even had the chance to retaliate."
"Oh? Young man, you must be quite strong. I wonder how many gene chains you've completed? "
Yi Tianya's gaze immediately fell on Chu Lin as he began sizing him up with a scrutinizing gaze.
"One."
Chu Lin replied without hesitation.
Hearing Chu Lin's words, the surrounding elite warriors from the Wild Lion Family could not help reveal a strange expression on their faces.
They never would have thought that the foreign aid that Princess Yi Yun found this time...
... to have only completed a single gene chain.
After all, even Princess Yi Yun herself was close to completing two gene chains.
Furthermore, Awakened Practitioners who have completed at least one of their gene chains is not a rare sight in the Roaring Tribe.
Not to mention the representatives that the Wild Lion Family had selected to participate in the Gladiator Tournament!
