Chapter 5 – Sisters
Translated by James
This new arrival was a slender youngster with long eyebrows and dark eyes. He looked a couple years older than Ji Li. With a faint smile on his face, he appeared to be full of confidence.
This person’s arrival caused all those around him began to move backwards opening up a road for him. It seemed that this person is quite prestigious amongst the younger generations in the tribe.
Ji Chu. He has been known as the number two among the younger generations, directly below Rain Bamboo. He was also the current captain of the hunting team. It has been said that he have reached the pinnacle of low tier strength half a year ago. His strength was much stronger than Ji Feng’s.
Ji Chu slowly walked toward Ji Li as the crowd made way. With a condescending attitude and a faint smile, he said: “Ji Li, having mastered a Whirling First with five consecutive increases in strength, it seemed that you are indeed very strong. But you shouldn’t be thinking that you’re invincible just from that.”
Hearing this nasty tone, Ji Li frowned but did not reply. From his knowledge of Ji Chu, Ji Li knew that Ji Chu, compared to Ji Feng, was much harder to deal with. This was especially true since Ji Chu was still so confident even after his display of his Whirling First with five consecutive increases in strength.
What’s surprising is that while Ji Chu was continuously displaying his superiority, he did not continue to provoke Ji Li. He only said with his mouth slightly curved upwards: “Hehe, you don’t have to be so nervous; I won’t make it difficult for you since we are no longer at the same level.”
“Ji Chu, what do you mean by this? We are all of the same tribe; everyone is supposed to be equal. There shouldn’t be a separation between the inner and outer groups; even the inner group is not necessarily superior. Brother Li didn’t do anything wrong!” Rain Bamboo clenched her fist and said full of discontent.
“Rain Bamboo, are these also things Ji Li taught you? If a mere outsider dared say these outrageous word; once reported to the tribal elders, it’ll be a major crime. However, I didn’t hear it from Ji Li himself. Since the words came out from your mouth, it naturally won’t be an issue.” Ji Chu still had a confident smile on his face. He was obviously a lot smarter than everyone else and knew that blind provocation of Ji Li will only raise Rain Bamboo’s antipathy.
“What I meant by we are not at the same level isn’t regarding that.” He adds and then stretches out his hand smilingly. Soon there was a crimson color slowly appearing on his hand.
“This is…” All the people around suddenly started feeling like they’re inside a stove – their skin slowly heating up and even the air started to boil.
Right at this moment, a yellow flame appeared floating on Ji Chu’s palm.
“Fire energy! Mid tier stage! Ji Chu even reached mid tier stage!” The crowd exclaimed. Being able to stimulate a variety of natural energies, this is the mark of mid tier stage.
“It was rumored that Ji Chu reached the pinnacle of strength only but half a year ago. To think he have reached the mid tier stage already! Genius! Maybe he is as much of a genius as Miss Rain Bamboo!” An astonished voice sounded.
“You actually broke through the mid tier stage?” Even Rain Bamboo was slightly surprised from Ji Chu reaching mid tier stage because she herself, the second genius of the Fire Sparrow Tribe, also spent about the same amount of time to reach mid tier stage.
Breaking through the mid tier stage is both the hardest and the most critical stage. The less time one spent on it, the more talent one have. Ji Chu’s time spent showed that he was about as talented as her.
“That’s right, I have broken through the mid tier stage a couple days ago. Maybe I’ll soon catch up to you.” Ji Chu slightly smiled. “Thus, I am won’t make things difficult for Ji Li. I am here simply as the captain of the juvenile hunting team to invite Ji Li because he have reached over 800 jin strength, the requirement to join the hunting team.”
“Say it again after you have caught up to me.” Rain Bamboo said disgruntledly.
“Okay, you wait for me. And Ji Li, you better come report as soon as possible.” Ji Chu said continuously with a smile on his face, looking charismatic; completely different from the crowd before. Then he faced the crowd and said: “You guys better dismiss and go back home to practice. For even an outsider is stronger than you guys and you guys still have the face to continue standing here?”
“Rest assured, I will for sure.” Watching Ji Chu’s brilliant display, he only blandly replied now.
There was indeed such a rule in the tribe. All males, upon reaching a strength of 800 jin, must join the hunting team. He envisioned that it won’t be an easy stay for him in the hunting team. However, he still has time. Once he finishes absorbing the residual energy, he can go wherever he wants.
“Good. I’ll wait for you.” Ji Chu smiled expressively.
He left right afterwards.
