Yi Tianya coughed dryly as he said reluctantly with a trace of embarassment on his face.
However, he sounded as if he was trying to console himself.
Awakened Practitioners with one gene chain might have a relatively high position in the F-class gathering grounds. In terms of the E-class Roaring Tribe, however, they were not really considered as a rare talent.
"You really only have one gene chain?"
When Princess Yi Yun heard this news, a trace of astonishment flashed on her initial calm and composed face.
She did not ask this question in the beginning since Chu Lin was able to beat the three gene chains so easily. No matter how much she thought about it, it was simply impossible for him to only have one gene chain!
"But if you only a single gene chain, then you'll be overwhelmed by the other contestants who has two or more skills than you. It'll definitely be a huge loss."
Yi Tianya frowned slightly. His gaze swept over Princess Yi Yun before finally landing on Chu Lin's face.
To Yi Tianya's surprise, however, Chu Lin remained unfazed despite his previous words. With a resolute gaze, he could feel a strong fighting spirit rising from Chu Lin's body.
Yi Tianya was quite satisfied with this aspect.
While the Roaring Tribe put more regards to one's fighting strength, the Wild Lion Family was more well-known for their warriors' bravery and high-spirits.
Thus, the Wild Lion Family had always been very welcoming of courageous people.
Even if that person had only a single gene chain...
"Lord Chief, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. An Awakened Practitioner with one gene chain will not pose much a threat to the other contestants in the Gladiator Tournament, no matter how strong they are in actual combat."
At this moment, a burly man behind Yi Tianya stepped forward and said.
Dressed in the elite armor of the Wild Lion Family, the man stood out even among the other soldiers and emitted a heroic presence.
"Uncle Yicheng?"
Princess Yi Yun was slightly startled when she saw the man that stepped forward.
Yicheng was an Awakened Practitioner of the Wild Lion Family. In addition to being an expert with three gene chains, he served as the backbone of the family.
Being only second to Patriarch Yi Tianya in terms of status, he words nevertheless held a great amount of weight and power within the Wild Lion Family.
"Hmm... The two brats from the Crimson Dragon and Fierce Tiger Family are both talented individuals who have awakened three gene chains. In addition to the support they receive from their families, I'm afraid that even Awakened Practitioners with four gene chains would have trouble dealing with them, much less defeat them."
Yi Tianya said with a profound tone.
"So what if they have three gene chain? As long as they don't possess five or more gene chains, I'm confident that I can handle every single one of them."
Chu Lin said indifferently after estimating his own strength.
"You sure know how to boast shamelessly, brat!"
Yicheng shouted coldly and reached out his hand towards Chu Lin.
"Do you think this is some sort of game? The rise and fall of our Wild Lion Family will all depend on this one Gladiator Tournament!"
"Since Princess Yi Yun isn't very good at fighting, our Wild Lion Family must obtain the next three years' worth of resources no matter what. If we don't have people that are strong enough to support our family in the future, our Wild Lion Family's position will inevitably plummet. In the worst-case scenario, we might even be forced out of the Roaring Tribe!"
Just when Yicheng's huge palm was about to grab hold of Chu Lin's body...
Chu Lin quickly raised his hands and grabbed Yicheng by his wrist.
"Old man, you should only use your mouth to talk. It doesn't make much sense for you to make a move directly, right?"
Chu Lin smiled faintly with a relaxed expression, as if there was no pressure at all.
Yicheng frowned slightly as he focused more of his strength into his hands.
Not only was he an Awakened Practitioner with three gene chains, but he was also one of the dignified elders of the Wild Lion Family. Thus, how could he simply be restrained by a mere brat with only a single gene chain?
However, no matter how hard Yicheng tried to pull himself away...
He could not even move a single inch. It was as if his wrist had been restrained by several iron chains.
"Hmm? Not bad brat, it seems that you have quite the strength."
Realizing how strong Chu Lin actually was, Yi Cheng snorted lightly before activating his Gene Energy and slamming his other hand down on Chu Lin's palm.
Having been forced to activated his Gene Energy against this brat with a single gene chain, Yicheng could not help but feel slightly embarrassed.
Yicheng's genes were naturally the ancestral Wild Lion Gene of the Wild Lion Family. Whenever the Wild Lion Gene is activated, its user's strength would increase exponentially as they become as fierce as an actual lion. At this moment, he decided to show this brat the true might of their family's Awakened Practitioner.
*Boom!*
As a surge of energy burst from Yicheng's body, his muscles gradually swelled up into sturdy, large masses.
With his entire body swelled up, his veins too bulged out as he carried the appearance of a wild lion.
"It's the Wild Lion Gene!"
"Really? Since Elder Yicheng actually resorted to using his Wild Lion Gene, that brat is definitely in trouble!"
"Not only can the Wild Lion Gene strengthen all aspects of the Awakened Practitioner's attributes, it also possesses a ferocious aura similar to that of a berserk lion. Awakened Practitioner that has only completed a single gene chain simply cannot withstand the pressure of the Wild Lion Gene!"
Just when the Wild Lion Family warriors looked forward to see how their family elder would deal with Chu Lin...
Yicheng's face turned red as the veins throughout his body buldged out like little green snakes.
On the other hand, Chu Lin looked rather unfazed as he remained in a relaxed state. Without any intentions of preparing himself for the worst, he simply stood in place with his hands in his pocket, unaffected by the pressure from the Wild Lion Gene.
Yi Tianya's expression twitched slightly as he looked at Yicheng.
In the presence of Elder Yicheng's Gene Energy, even he found it difficult to resist the pressure emitted from Yicheng's body.
*Crack!*
As Elder Yicheng continued to emit his pressure, the ground beneath the two of them began to crack as it would not withstand the sheer amount of force begin pressed down.
"What's going on? Is Elder Yicheng actually unable to do anything to that brat?"
"Surely that's not possible, right? How could an Awakened Practitioner with only a single gene chain be this strong?"
"His strength is far too terrifying."
When the elite Wild Lion Family warriors witnessed such an absurd scene, they subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air and took a few steps backward.
To be able to withstand the pressure of someone who completed three gene chains with just a single gene chain... No one would believe such a preposterous feat if they had not seen it for themselves.
"Brat! Just what of kind of gene do you possess?!"
Gritting his teeth, Yicheng stared at Chu Lin's indifferent expression and asked with a serious tone.
"It's just some low-level superhuman gene, nothing compared to Elder Yicheng's gene."
Chu Lin said with a smile.
Chu Lin was actually quite intrigued with this Gladiator Tournament. After all, he could have the opportunity to exchange blows with the descendants of the great families in the Roaring Tribe.
Other than tempering his skills and increasing his combat experience in the intense battles, Chu Lin was looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful genes he would come across in the Gladiator Tournament.
As the two continued to remain in a stalemate, the cracks benath the soles of their feet kept growing larger and larger.
"Yicheng."
Yi Tianya could not watch it any longer. For Elder Yicheng to activate his Gene Energy and still be in a stalemate for this long was simply a disgrace to the Wild Lion Family. Thus, he lightly muttered Yicheng's name.
Only then did the two of them let each others' hands go.
As Yicheng's buldging muscles slowly shrunk back to normal, Chu Lin gently stretched his wrist as if he had just warmed up.
Hong Moli did not know whether to laugh or cry upon witnessing such a ludicrous scene. At the same time, she was also a little shocked.
Having seen Chu Lin's strength first-hand back when he sent Tie Niu flying with a single hit, she never expected his strength to be even greater than she initially thought.
