When they're in a bad mood, a fight can solve the problem; when they're in a good mood, a fight can also solve the problem... In short, this is how these primitive people talk, and they're used to it. When Chu said this, he didn't show any particular hostility; it was just like a casual chat, spoken off the cuff.
Chu's words resonated with many in the tribe, who began to cheer him on.
"Fight! Let's fight!"
"Let Chu witness the power of the totem warriors!"
Even Dian nodded slightly and asked Li Qing, "Let's have a fight. This way you can better familiarize yourself with the power of your body. Congratulations, Mai Zi, you are the first totem warrior to appear in our tribe."
"Oh, it's all thanks to Cang," Li Qing said with an embarrassed smile.
"If we're going to fight... how about we go outside and fight?"
Li Qing asked.
He also really wanted to experience the changes that would come with such a leap in strength.
"Whatever, here or outside is fine," Chu said indifferently.
Cang suggested, "Let's fight outside. The terrain is more open, making it easier for you to perform, and it will also be easier for them to watch."
Li Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
Cang suddenly reminded him, "Before that, Mai Zi, you should hide the totem on your body."
“These are all people from our tribe, but it would be best if only we knew about this,” Cang said.
"Of course, it all depends on your willingness; I won't force you."
Cang's words reminded Li Qing, and he immediately agreed, "You're right, what should I do?"
Cang pointed out, "It's the same principle as wanting the totem to appear. You just need to tell yourself in your heart that you want to hide the totem on your left arm."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately began to do as instructed.
He was very talented. After trying to make the totem appear once, he tried to hide it again. In just ten breaths, he successfully removed the big black totem from his left arm, making his left arm clean again.
Li Qing shook his clean left arm, which no longer showed any trace of the large black totem. Now, he looked just like an ordinary soldier.
Cang was very satisfied with the talent that Li Qing had shown. He raised his head slightly and said appreciatively, "You can practice more when you have free time. Being able to make the totem appear or disappear at any time will be of great help to you."
Chu urged impatiently, "Alright, now that you've learned how to conceal it, let's start fighting."
Li Qing nodded to Chu, signaling him not to rush, and said to Cang, "I understand, but since the totem can be hidden, there is no need to expose it all the time."
A strange light flashed in Cang's pupils, and he chuckled eerily, "Not bad, you're quite like Jie in this respect."
Li Qing felt a little embarrassed by the praise, unsure whether to laugh or acquiesce. Cang noticed this and pointed behind him, saying, "Don't worry, he's not interested in your sparring with Chu. He didn't come out and didn't hear what I just said."
"Phew, that's good."
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
If the witch heard this, he wouldn't have a problem with Cang, but he would definitely keep a closer eye on him.
Chu, without anyone noticing, had already run up behind Li Qing, pushing him towards the cave entrance and the center of the tribe: "Alright, can we stop talking and start fighting!"
"There's one more thing I really don't understand!"
Chu complained.
"The big black totem is so imposing, why do you want to hide it? If you put it on your left arm, outsiders will probably be shocked when they see it," Chu chuckled.
Li Qing deliberately sighed deeply and said earnestly, "This is a secret, and someone like you would never understand."
Chu was taken aback, then realized what he meant and laughed, "Hey, you little brat, are you calling me stupid? I'll beat you until you cry in no time!"
...
Red Flower Tribe.
Central location.
Li Qing and Chu stood on opposite sides, surrounded by a crowd. Most of the people in the front row were women, who were cheering for Li Qing, while the men stood at the back, purely there to watch the excitement, some cheering for one of them and others for the other.
Dian stood between the two, playing the role of "referee" in this martial arts competition.
The rules are simple: when Dian gives the order to start fighting, they can start fighting, and whoever falls to the ground first loses.
Chu rubbed his fists, eager to fight, while Li Qing was also doing warm-up exercises on the spot, keeping himself in good shape. Dian, who was not a chieftain who liked to ramble on, did not say anything useless before the battle started. Instead, after seeing the two in position, he asked directly, "How is it? Are you ready?"
"Ready."
The two responded in unison.
"very good."
Dian nodded.
He took a step back and said, "The rules have been agreed upon, so let's begin."
The instant Dian retreated into the crowd, Chu burst into laughter and charged toward Li Qing. He looked extremely excited and did not relax because it was a martial arts competition. Instead, he went all out. His strong body ran like a giant wild boar.
Compared to Chu, Li Qing was much calmer. He rushed forward and threw a heavy punch without hesitation, colliding with Chu's fists.
boom!
The two men's fists collided, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaken up by a wisp of dust.
"happy!"
Chu laughed loudly.
"Your strength has indeed increased significantly!"
Li Qing was equally surprised. He had thought that this punch would be good enough to give Chu a 40/60 chance, but he didn't expect it to be just right.
He also felt a great sense of exhilaration; the feeling of each punch landing was far more exciting than the free-fighting he experienced in his previous life.
Li Qing's adrenaline surged. He took a step back, changed his fist into a leg, and delivered a side kick to Chu's head.
Chu reacted very quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping, and then grabbed Li Qing's ankle with his right hand.
Normally, in this situation, the person whose foot is grabbed would be in trouble, easily "KO'd" with one foot as the center. But Li Qing was no longer the same as before. Even with only one foot, Li Qing did not let Chu slaughter him. Instead, he jumped up and kicked Chu in the face with his other foot.
Chu's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Li Qing to pull this stunt, and he involuntarily leaned back a little—but it was too late. Li Qing's other foot kicked Chu directly in the face, causing Chu to groan in pain as he covered his nose and struggled to take a few steps back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Qing did a small backflip and regained his footing.
Chu stumbled back three or four steps before straightening up. He hadn't expected to suffer such a loss at Mai Zi's hands, and he cursed, "Couldn't you have gone a little easier!"
Li Qing smiled and teased in good-nature, "When you grabbed my ankle just now, didn't you also want to throw me to the ground? We're in the same boat."
