Qin Tian’s gaze landed on Terrida, the white-haired Barbarian; his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, with deep brown pupils that held the wariness of one who had hunted in the wilderness for years, yet also a calmness that allowed him to survey the whole situation, unlike other Barbarian. A thick beard covered his chin, making his chiseled face appear even more wild.“My name is Qin Tian, and I am the buyer of you Barbarian slaves,” Qin Tian’s calm voice resounded in the mind of every Barbarian warrior.Hearing the word “slaves,” flames of anger and humiliation erupted in the Barbarian’ eyes as they glared fiercely at Qin Tian.If it were any other slave owner, seeing their purchased slaves dare to glare at them would undoubtedly lead to a session of electroshock therapy.But Qin Tian remained composed, not showing any anger, and looked at Terrida, saying,“Now, I’m giving you a chance. If you can defeat anyone beside me, I will set you free. But if you lose, I can still release you from slavery, but you must lead all the Barbarian to fight for me for five years.”“Oh, and you don’t need to speak aloud; just think it, and I’ll hear you.”Upon hearing these words, all the Barbarian’ gazes refocused on Terrida.Terrida’s pupils suddenly constricted, and emotions surged in his deep brown eyes. The status of a slave was a humiliation etched into the Barbarian’ bones, yet this man before him had so casually placed freedom within their reach through a duel—it was too unreal, yet carried a fatal allure.The totem tattoo on his chest warmed slightly with his emotional fluctuation, as if urging him to accept. Suppressed breaths from his companions behind him reached him.He could feel the longing in those eyes—a yearning for freedom, an anticipation of returning home.A few seconds of silence felt incredibly long.Terrida slowly raised his head, his frosty white hair falling on either side of his face, obscuring half of it, revealing only his tightly pressed lips and sharp eyes.He didn’t speak aloud, only let out a low roar in his mind, carrying the fierce bravery characteristic of a Barbarian warrior: “I accept.”This thought resonated clearly in Qin Tian’s mind and, through some invisible connection, allowed the surrounding Barbarian to feel his resolve.“Good!”As Qin Tian raised his hand, a gentle green light suddenly emanated from his palm, spreading over Terrida.In an instant, Terrida felt a surge of vigorous life force flood his limbs and bones. The pain from his torn wounds melted away like ice and snow, and a tingling itch came from his broken sinews and bones—a signal of rapid flesh regeneration.Even more astonishingly, the weakness caused by the forced injection of medicine earlier was receding at a visible pace—like a blocked river suddenly cleared, a mighty power surged from his dantian straight to the top of his head.“Roar—!”Terrida suddenly threw his head back and roared, his voice making the factory’s steel framework reverberate. The muscles all over his body bulged exaggeratedly, and bronze-colored veins coiled like dragons under his skin. The alloy chains originally binding his shoulders and waist actually let out a brittle crack under this brute force.“Snap! Crack!”Link after link broke, fragments scattering and falling to the ground with a harsh clatter.The totem tattoo on his chest glowed completely at this moment, resonating with the power erupting within him. His snow-white hair moved without wind, fluttering, and wild red light surged in his deep brown pupils—this was proof of his returned strength, the inherent might of a Barbarian warrior.In just a few breaths, the slave who had been so weak moments ago had transformed back into a brave and powerful warrior.Terrida stretched his fully recovered neck, his joints cracking in a series of crisp pops. His gaze, as he looked at Qin Tian again, held a mix of complexity and affirmation.“Choose your opponent,” Qin Tian said calmly.“I choose him.” Terrida’s inner voice rang out again, his gaze unhesitatingly locking onto Bear, a battle-hungry flame igniting in his deep brown pupils.Since he had recovered, he would fight the strongest one.In his opinion, Bear, with such a burly physique, was the strongest.The other Barbarian warriors had no objection to Terrida’s decision; this was a long-standing Barbarian tradition—to challenge the strongest.It was both a sign of respect for the opponent and confidence in one’s own strength.Although Terrida carried the hopes and the path home for everyone, they never considered letting Terrida exploit a loophole and choose a weaker opponent.A person lacking confidence could not become a Barbarian leader.Seeing this, Bear grinned, took a large step forward, his heavy body slightly shaking the ground, and said in a booming voice, “Come!”The air seemed to solidify at this moment. Two powerful auras collided and intertwined, forming an invisible storm in the dilapidated factory, causing everyone around to involuntarily hold their breath, their eyes fixed on the two about to duel in the center.Boom!Almost simultaneously, two immense surges of vital energy erupted.Bear’s body was enveloped in a visible wave of qi and blood, his pale golden vital energy like boiling magma—a sign of physical cultivation reaching its peak.Terrida’s vital energy, however, was crimson like blood, steaming from his pores like burning wildfire, reflecting the totem tattoo on his chest and exuding a wild and domineering aura.The two vital energies collided in mid-air, producing a muffled roar, and an invisible pressure spread outwards.This was not a clash of Spiritual Energy Users, but a duel of the most primitive, purest physical strength, as violent as two prehistoric beasts wrestling.“Hah!”Bear attacked first, stomping his right foot hard on the ground, instantly cracking the steel plate in a spiderweb pattern. His right fist, accompanied by a sharp whistle that tore through the air, punched out. Pale golden vital energy condensed into a blurred phantom of a bear paw on his fist, and wherever it passed, the air was squeezed, emitting a painful groan.Terrida’s eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced. He spread his feet slightly, and his crimson vital energy surged dramatically, his entire aura climbing to its peak. He also punched out.This punch appeared unadorned but was incredibly fast. The crimson vital energy on his fist almost solidified, leaving a faint afterimage in the air. “Thump!”The moment their fists met, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in the factory. The pale golden and crimson vital energies violently collided and burst, forming a visible shockwave that swept away all the surrounding dust.Bear’s body swayed slightly, and the steel plate beneath his feet sank another half-inch, but his fist remained as steady as a mountain.Terrida, however, was thrown back three steps, each step leaving a clear imprint on the ground. His tiger’s mouth felt a faint numbness, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes—the opponent’s strength was far greater than his own when he unleashed his rage.But he did not retreat; instead, he charged forward again. His crimson vital energy surged once more, and his fists and feet rained down on Bear like a storm, each punch carrying the force to split mountains and shatter stones, each kick as fast as lightning.His strength might have been slightly inferior, but he excelled in incredible speed, and each strike landed precisely in the gaps of Bear’s defense.His wildness was laced with deadly cunning.“Bang! Bang! Bang!”A continuous series of impacts rang out.Bear crossed his arms in front of him, his pale golden vital energy forming a solid barrier, enduring Terrida’s fierce assault.He occasionally counterattacked, each punch carrying overwhelming power, forcing Terrida to temporarily evade his edge.Beside them, Qin Tian’s eyes moved slightly. He hadn’t expected Terrida to be able to contend with Bear to such an extent, especially with his attacks that combined strength and speed. Any Spiritual Energy User below the fifth rank would likely have been pulverized.To be so physically strong without cultivating spiritual energy, the Barbarian’ power system truly was unique.Bang ~After another head-on clash, Terrida retreated several meters using the recoil force, his crimson vital energy slightly retracting. He looked at Bear’s almost unblemished body, and a flicker of understanding crossed his pupils—if he continued to clash head-on like this, he would undoubtedly lose.The opponent’s vital energy was like a bottomless abyss; in a pure strength duel, he had no chance of winning.Bang! He stomped forward fiercely, cracking the ground beneath his feet. His left hand, like a claw, locked onto Bear’s wrist, and his right hand slid up Bear’s arm to his shoulder. Using the twisting force of his waist, he tried to use skill to flip this giant.The Barbarian warriors’ combat techniques were never about brute force collision, but an art that combined power and martial skill to the extreme.Terrida’s joints seemed to have no bone limitations; his movements were fluid and tricky, each exertion of force landing precisely on Bear’s points of leverage, like the most precise lever prying a mountain.But Bear’s strength far exceeded his imagination.No matter how Terrida maneuvered, Bear’s body remained as steady as a rock, his muscular arms like cast steel. No matter how the opponent locked, hooked, twisted, or pressed, he remained motionless. Instead, just as Terrida’s old strength was spent and new strength had yet to form, Bear suddenly exerted force—“Up!”Bear’s left arm suddenly lifted, and Terrida felt an irresistible force lift him off the ground. He reacted incredibly fast, twisting his body in mid-air with the momentum, his feet chopping down towards Bear’s neck like battleaxes.This was a Barbarian’s desperate move, willing to injure oneself to severely wound the opponent.“Bang!”His feet landed squarely on the side of Bear’s neck, but it only made Bear shake his head, as if bitten by a mosquito.Terrida himself was bounced away by the recoil, doing a somersault in the air and landing steadily. The totem tattoo on his chest was already glowing hot, clearly indicating he had used all his strength.“This defense…” Feng Mocuan gasped. He could feel the force of Terrida’s kick; if it were him, without using spiritual energy, his neck bone would surely fracture, even posing a life-threatening risk.But Bear endured the kick unharmed; his physique was truly too formidable.The situation on the field changed again.Terrida no longer clashed head-on but circled Bear, his figure elusive. His fists and feet rained down on Bear’s body like a storm—sometimes striking joints, sometimes aiming for the throat, sometimes using his elbow to strike ribs. Every move was precise and ruthless, pushing the Barbarian combat art’s agility and ferocity to the extreme.But Bear was like a moving fortress, his arms swinging like windmills, blocking all attacks. Heavy thuds echoed through the factory. He occasionally counterattacked, each punch carrying the might to split mountains and rocks, forcing Terrida to temporarily evade his edge.“!”Bear suddenly let out a low growl and took a powerful step forward, his massive body breaking through Terrida’s offense. His arms closed like iron pincers, attempting to lock Terrida in a death grip.This was the most brutal and effective move; once caught, no matter how skilled you were, it would be difficult to break free.Terrida’s pupils constricted, and he quickly ducked, trying to slip out from under Bear’s armpit.But Bear’s reaction was far beyond his expectation; his left arm dropped, his elbow striking Terrida’s spine like a hammer.Terrida could only arch his back and flip backward, narrowly dodging the blow, but also losing the best opportunity to escape.Just then, Bear’s right fist arrived.This punch had no fancy techniques, only pure strength and speed, accompanied by a tearing whistle as it aimed ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) directly for Terrida’s chest.Terrida had no escape. He could only cross his arms in front of his chest, simultaneously pushing his totem power to the limit. The tattoo on his chest erupted with dazzling red light.“Boom—!”Fist met arm. Terrida was hit with a heavy blow, his entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into a steel pillar behind him with a dull thud. He slowly slid to the ground, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and the totem tattoo on his chest dimmed.Bear stood in place, his chest rising and falling slightly, but his expression was calm.Qin Tian could tell that Bear had held back, not using his full strength. Moreover, this time Bear was fighting purely physically; if he had used his spiritual energy, Terrida wouldn’t have lasted two moves.Terrida struggled to stand, but Qin Tian stopped him with a raised hand: “You lost.”Terrida looked down at his numb arms, then at Bear’s still imposing figure. A flicker of unwillingness crossed his pupils, but it ultimately turned into acceptance.He had not lost unfairly; that guy’s physical strength could probably only be matched by strong individuals of a medium-sized tribal chief level.He was still far from that.“I lost.” Terrida’s inner voice rang out in everyone’s minds, carrying the straightforwardness characteristic of a Barbarian warrior, “From now on, my tribe and I will follow your command for five years.”“Good.”A smile appeared on Qin Tian’s face. Immediately after, a powerful mental force suddenly emanated from his glabella, spreading like an invisible tide, instantly enveloping the entire factory.This mental force seemed gentle but carried an irresistible dominance. Wherever it passed, the alloy chains binding the Barbarian began to tremble violently.“Crack—! Snap! Pop!”A dense series of shattering sounds rang out. Hundreds of thumb-thick alloy chain links, under the invisible mental force’s crushing pressure, broke inch by inch like fragile glass, fragments scattering and covering the ground.The Barbarian were stunned at first, then erupted in unbelievable joy—they hadn’t even seen what Qin Tian did, yet the chains that had bound them for days had turned into dust.At the same time, Qin Tian’s palm condensed green light, which sprinkled like spring rain over every Barbarian.The Barbarian warriors who were still injured, under the nourishment of the green light, saw their wounds heal at a visible speed, and their vital energy, which had been stagnant from long-term captivity, began to boil again.“Roar—!”Hundreds of excited roars sounded simultaneously, and crimson vital energy rose from their bodies like flames, illuminating the dilapidated factory in a fiery red.They stretched their fully recovered sinews and bones, their joints popping with crisp sounds, and their gazes towards Qin Tian had changed.Seeing this, Feng Mocuan pressed a button on his controller.With a slight mechanical whir, the slave collars on all the Barbarian’ necks popped open, automatically falling to the ground with a dense clattering sound.Those were the chains symbolizing humiliation and control. The sound of them falling to the ground now, to the Barbarian warriors, was more invigorating than war drums.Terrida looked at the fragments of the collar at his feet, then at his excitedly roaring tribesmen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.“Thank you.” His inner voice resonated in Qin Tian’s mind, brief but sincere.Qin Tian waved his hand, his mental force and green light slowly receding: “From today, you are no longer slaves.”He swept his gaze over the group of newly freed Barbarian, his voice steady and powerful, “Within five years, I will provide you with the finest weapons and resources to make you stronger. After five years, I will personally send people to escort you back to your homeworld.”These words exploded in the Barbarian’ minds like thunder. They had originally thought that five years of service was merely to gain freedom, but they hadn’t expected to receive such generous treatment.For a moment, the roars in the factory grew even louder. This time, it was no longer a wild release, but an acknowledgment and allegiance to their new master.Only sincerity could win true loyalty.Qin Tian’s series of actions earned the respect of all the Barbarian warriors.
