Chapter 32
Chapter 32 – Path of Glory
Translated by Sunyancai
Early the next morning, Shao Xuan tied those animal skin bags, filled with gravel, to himself, and headed to the training ground with Caesar.
In the past when Shao Xuan had not awakened yet, he would often feel worried about being hurt, or even being killed by mistake if he did not pay enough attention to the surroundings. Now he was much more emboldened because his body could endure more damage or wounds.
People in the tribe did not know many moves or forms. All they could do was imagine the existence of a certain game and react based on its habits.
Some warrior would just treat the cliff as some kind of animal, and then hit the cliff hard and strong. Because of that, one should not be surprised when seeing a gust of wind carrying sand and stones in the mountain. That was merely some warrior practicing his punches.
Just like Shao Xuan saw at the Shaman’s place the other night, kids like Mao could break normal stone plates.
After Shao Xuan arrived at the training ground, he picked out a mountain and began to run from the mountain foot to the top with stones carried on his shoulder. While running, he could see which part of the mountain consisted of fine stones, so that he could go dig or carve them out.
“Here they come!” someone shouted out.
Shao Xuan looked at that direction.
There were about two hundred people walking down the mountain. At the very front was the leader of the hunting team that Shao Xuan recognized from the ritual ceremony that night. Not only the leader, Shao Xuan had seen the ones following him before. They were dancing by the fire pit.
All people walking down the mountain had a feeling of generals at war, regardless of their expressions. Some were smiling and some were quite serious.
At the rear of the team among all tall and strong warriors, those few kids with limited height were pretty obvious and easily noticed. The Chief’s first grandson, Mao, was also among them. Fei, who had showed off his ability in front of Shao Xuan was also in the team.
“Hey, who are those kids?”
“They surely are strong and skillful since they can go on the first hunting mission.”
“Those are the top warriors from the newly-awakened warriors this year.”
“Hey, is that Mao? He deserves to be the first grandson of our Chief!”
…
People were discussing heatedly.
Sai’s father pointed out Fei and other kids in the troops and said to Sai, “Look for yourself! You are almost the same age, and you awakened with them in the same year. Now they are in the first hunting mission already, and you? Where are you now?”
Sai apparently was not convinced by his father’s judgement, “I can do the same if you lived up in the mountain!”
Sai’s father immediately was speechless, and he slapped his son’s face without any more words.
