Divine Mark

Chapter 3 Elder Su

In the early morning of the next day, everything was silent, and there was a glimmer of light on the plain east of the Shigang tribe.

On the gravel steps tens of meters away from the square on the top of the mountain.

"Da da da"

It was the crisp sound of footsteps on the stone slab.

A young man dressed in animal skins, with a handsome face and deep eyes, was holding his head in his hands, and quickly climbed up the steps with the movement of leapfrog.Dense sweat covered his entire forehead.

Every day at five o'clock in the morning, Qingyun Terrace comes here. There are more than [-] steps from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, a total of five trips.

This is the morning exercise plan that Qingyuntai set for himself. For a year and a half, no matter the wind or rain, he never slack off.People who have experienced death understand better the value of life. Qingyuntai was pulled back from the gate of death by the patriarch.

The rich experience in the previous life, coupled with the two and a half years of lying in the cave, sharpened Qing Yuntai's will and character far beyond ordinary people.

As the sky in the east was gradually smudged with orange light, many tribesmen appeared one after another on the mountainside and walked towards the training ground on the top of the mountain.

And the morning exercise at Qingyuntai also ended early.

At the end of the right side of the Peak Square is the mining site, which is also the place for archery training today.

Seven or eight archery targets stand under the stone wall at different distances, and the furthest is 80 meters from the wooden frame where the bows and arrows are placed.

Qingyuntai looked in frustration at the empty space above the archery target 50 meters away.

"Ugh, this bow and arrow skill is really difficult!" Qing Yuntai sighed helplessly.

It has been a year and a half since he came to the Shigang tribe, and his bow and arrow level has improved slowly. It is incomparable with these tribesmen who have taken hunting and archery as their daily life since childhood.

Dragging his exhausted body, he picked up the scattered arrows, inserted them back into the quiver, then took off the bamboo tube hanging from his waist, and pulled out the cork.

"Cuckoo."

The clear spring water flows down his neck, and he drank most of it happily, which is a pleasure.

"It's time for people to arrive, it's time to go"

Qing Yuntai muttered to himself, and then walked to the queue in the center of the square.Every morning and evening are the fixed practice time for the children of the Shigang tribe.

Among ordinary tribes, the clansmen can only exercise their bodies and build up their strength from an early age.It is expected that the body will reach the limit before the age of 16, awaken the power of the soul, and then rely on the power of the soul to nurture and command the divine power.

For ordinary people, the age of 16 is the best age to start cultivating divine power. The vitality and blood are strong, the bones are developed and formed, and after the first awakening of the power of the soul, the body will receive a great gift.

The Peak Galleria
There are a total of 90 young people in the tribe over the age of ten, all gathered here at this moment.Qing Yun Terrace stood in the corner of the last row, looking inconspicuous.

In front of them, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair in a bun, his back facing everyone, standing with his hands behind his back. The other sleeve of the man was empty and was blown by the wind.

He has a tall and straight figure, wearing gray cloth clothing, a two-finger-thick straw rope tied around his waist, and a long whip that emits black light.

Under the blessing of the long whip, the invisible sense of oppression emanating from Su Hun's body became stronger. Affected by this aura, the whole square appeared extremely quiet.

"Today, everyone, perform the "Iron Arm Fist" taught last month for half an hour!!!"

Saying so, the clansmen quickly dispersed and stood apart, with each person separated by about three meters.

After a while, Su turned around. Most people unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into his piercing eyes.

Su looked at all this with a calm expression. He was less than 50 years old, but his temples were already frosted, and there were a few wrinkles on his thin and sallow face.

Shouted: "Start"

He took a step forward and walked into the queue.

"Yes!!!"

The neat voice resounded through the sky.

In an instant, a total of ninety tribal fighters appeared in great momentum, their movements were smooth, and their fists were fast and slow, implying mystery.

……

Usually, for a powerful warrior, even if he is nearly half a hundred years old, as long as he has enough blood, the power of the divine pattern can easily maintain his body in peak condition, a situation like Su's is extremely rare.

Su Nai is one of the three elders of the tribe, and also the martial arts master of the tribe. He served as the hunting captain in the previous term.

Seven years ago, on the eve of a snow-covered mountain, Su led a team to venture deep into the wilderness in order to obtain enough meat.Unfortunately, he encountered a sneak attack by a desolate beast—the Silver Lightning Wolf.

In order to cover the retreat of the team members, Su and several soldiers took the initiative to meet them, and started a life-and-death struggle with the first-order silver lightning wolf.

Although the wild beast was hit hard in that battle by chance, Su himself was also seriously injured, and his left arm was even torn off by the silver electric wolf, which caused a sharp decline in physical function and a sharp decline in strength.

Later, he served as the third elder of the tribe, and continued to hold the treasure of the water system among the treasures of the Five Elements Township given by the tribe - the Black Wind Whip, and took over the discipline and punishment of the Shigang tribe.

……

"The ninth form seems to be a straight fist with the strength of the arm, but it actually pays attention to the use of the strength of the waist and abdomen"

……

"No.13 pose is the most powerful one in "Iron Arm Fist". Remember: turn around - kick your legs - twist your hips, use the center of gravity to send the whole body strength to the fist, so as to maximize the power."

"The best hunting team member in the tribe, this punch can easily explode nearly a thousand catties."

……

Su shuttled back and forth in the queue, instructing everyone's moves and power-generating skills.

"No, "Iron Arm Fist" is against the enemy. It is not advisable to open your arms too much. If you open it, you will loose your body skills. The enemy will easily overthrow you, or fight with you in close quarters."

Su Broken Arm couldn't demonstrate "Iron Arm Fist". Everyone's boxing was taught by the current hunting captain.

As the most powerful fighter ever, Su's attainments in "Iron Arm Fist" are naturally not bad.The elder patiently guided the clansmen, and his voice was loud so that more people could hear him.

"Iron Arm Fist" has a total of sixteen moves, both offensive and defensive. It is a low-level first-grade martial art widely spread in this wild world.Combined with his special formula of medicine, he practiced to great success, his arms are as hard as black iron, and he can make a clanging sound when hitting gold and iron.

The natural flexibility of the arm determines that it can play a huge role in combat. The power-generating technique of "Iron Arm Fist" is an extreme test of the coordination ability of the muscles of the whole body.

Although without the blessing of the power of the god pattern, martial arts cannot erupt the power it should have, but the process of cultivation is also a kind of strengthening of the body, which is quite good for laying the foundation for young people.

Due to the cognitive influence of the previous life, Qingyuntai is not interested in this kind of martial arts, but is optimistic about the medicinal bath formula in it.After soaking for more than a month, I can clearly feel the strength changes in my arms and body.

In the usual martial arts practice, the four words "absent-minded" are the most suitable words to describe Qing Yuntai.In terms of attitude, compared with those surrounding clansmen who were enthusiastic about every move, they were in two completely different states, so that even Su didn't notice when he came behind him.

"You don't seem to be very interested in "Iron Fist"?"

Su looked at Qing Yuntai in surprise, every move of this kid showed a slow, soft feeling of neglect.

When Qing Yuntai heard this, he secretly thought that something was wrong, he reacted, and quickly explained:
"No no, I'm just tired, hey, tired"

Su had heard about the hard work of the boy in front of him, and had secretly observed his actions in the early morning more than once, and was very satisfied with the boy's resilience.

Immediately, he thought that with his frail body, there was no hope of conceiving and nurturing the power of the soul at the right age, and embarking on the road of cultivation.

Everything is in vain, personal power is no match for fate after all.

"Ugh"

Su glanced at his empty left arm from the corner of his eye, sighed helplessly, then turned and left.

I don't know whether he is sighing for himself, or for the kid in front of him, or both.

Qing Yuntai felt a little inconceivable seeing this third elder, who was always known for being strict, let him go so easily.

"That sigh, is it hate that iron can't become steel?"

Qing Yuntai speculated with self-deprecation, and glanced at the burly fellows of the Huang family brothers.

"It's really hard to compare people to others, and you have to throw away goods when you compare goods!!!"

He also felt helpless, he could be regarded as an extraterrestrial visitor after all, and it would be fine if he didn't give the treasure that changed his life against the sky, even the standard god-level talent would be deprived, in this vast and wild world, he is too small.

……

In a trance, half a day has passed.

Under Su's arrangement, after undergoing rigorous physical fitness and archery training, everyone came under rows of stone pillars. "Slap." The arm smashed against the stone pillar and made a series of noises.

Under the thick stone pillar at the mouth of the bowl, Qingyun Terrace, like everyone else, waved its arms intently, one after another, and slammed on the stone pillar fiercely.

It didn't take long for the forearm, upper arm, shoulder, elbow joint, palm and many other places to turn red, with sweat and blood steaming.

Qingyuntai didn't seem to feel any pain, and repeated it endlessly.This is the magic of the medicated bath formula in "Iron Arm Fist", which makes the flesh and blood and stone pillars resist without injury.

"At least [-] times for each key part, everyone must not slack off."

At the forefront, Su held one of the tribe's five great treasures bestowed by the patriarch—the Black Wind Whip, in his hand, whipping the ground casually, a faint black light flashed away.

Half of the clansman's fear of Su came from that black wind whip, and one stroke of that whip would not cure him in ten days and a half months.

Su went on to say: "In this way, the medicinal power absorbed by your daily medicinal baths can be induced."

"It's three-point poison in medicine. If you relax, it will lead to infinite accumulation of toxins, and you will be responsible for the consequences!!!"

Hearing this, all the teenagers present couldn't help but increase their strength a bit.

time flies……

At this time, the scorching sun was already hanging above the head. After a morning of exposure, the ground of the square became hot, and the dripping sweat turned into steam the moment it touched the ground.

The hot breath made people unable to get used to it, and at the same time, the stomachs of the clansmen had already made gurgling sounds.

Su looked up and saw that the time was almost up, so he announced the end of today's training:

"People over the age of 14 stay, I have something to say, others can leave"

With an order, everyone fled the square one after another as if they were about to receive an amnesty, and walked down the stone ladder to the mountainside.The smoke rising from the kitchen everywhere guides the teenagers on their way home.
