"Terrida, how do you feel?" Qin Tian asked with a smile."Good, very good."Terrida clenched his fists, a wild power boiling within him, almost gushing out. A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth:"Boss, just as you said, I feel my body has become ten times stronger!"Hearing this, Qin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. A tenfold increase—this was almost the best effect of the Superman Potion.Given Terrida's previous physique, after being strengthened tenfold, his might was unimaginable."Bear!"Just then, Terrida looked at Bear, a fiery fighting spirit appearing in his eyes:"Interested in fighting me again?"He had been utterly defeated by Bear before, but with his power skyrocketing, he really wanted to get his revenge.Bear was startled at first, then grinned, a fierce fighting spirit also igniting in his amber pupils. He rumbled, "Alright."The Barbarians looked at each other, then immediately cleared the area for the two, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.They also wanted to know, now that Terrida's strength had surged, who would prevail when he faced Bear again?Bang! Bear was the first to attack, stomping his feet hard. The tough ground instantly cracked, and he charged towards Terrida like a heavy tank, his right fist whistling through the air, heading straight for Terrida's face.This punch concentrated all his strength and was much swifter than when he first fought Terrida.Terrida's eyes narrowed. He didn't dodge or evade, also throwing a punch.His blood surged wildly at this moment, the muscles on his arms bulged, and veins popped out under his bronze skin. With an indomitable momentum, his fist collided fiercely with Bear's."Boom!"A deafening roar echoed, and a powerful wave of air spread out from the two of them, pushing back the surrounding Barbarians.Everyone looked closely, only to see Bear stumble back five or six steps before stabilizing himself. His right arm trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.Terrida, however, only took one step back before standing firmly in place, his pupils gleaming with excitement.Seeing this, the surrounding Barbarians immediately erupted in thunderous cheers. They could clearly feel that Terrida's current strength was far greater than before, actually suppressing Bear in a pure physical strength clash!"What powerful strength!"Bear shook his slightly numb right arm, feeling the sharp pain from his fist. The fighting spirit in his eyes grew even fiercer; such an opponent was much more interesting.Terrida didn't pause. Seizing the moment while Bear adjusted, he closed in again, his fists and feet raining down like a storm on Bear.His speed was extremely fast, every punch and kick carrying wild power, forcing Bear to constantly block."I'm going all out!" Bear roared, a dense crimson spiritual energy suddenly erupting from his body, enveloping him like burning crimson mist.Bear was a Spiritual Energy User, but because his physical body was too formidable, he rarely used spiritual energy when facing weaker opponents.Only when encountering a strong opponent like Terrida, who could force out all his power, would the crimson spiritual energy hidden beneath his flesh truly awaken."Continue!"Bear's voice deepened. His right fist, wrapped in crimson spiritual energy, punched out fiercely. This punch was full of power, incomparably domineering.Wherever it passed, the air let out a sharp crackle.Terrida didn't dare to be careless. The blood within his body resonated with the totem tattoo on his chest, erupting in dazzling golden light.He also threw a punch. Golden light and crimson spiritual energy collided with a "pop" sound, two completely different forces devouring and neutralizing each other.The subsequent battle became even more intense.Bear, relying on his crimson spiritual energy, had his strength greatly increased, fighting Terrida to a standstill.The two exchanged blows, fist to flesh, each collision unleashing powerful airwaves. The surrounding ground was ruined by the battle's aftermath, shattered stones flying, and dust swirling."Haha, what a blast, Bear! Grab your weapon, let's keep fighting!" Terrida forced Bear back with a punch and roared loudly.He felt the power within him growing more and more abundant and wanted to use his most proficient weapon for an even more exhilarating duel.Bear grinned, "Alright!"Seeing this, Qin Tian gestured to Feng Mocheng beside him.Feng Mocheng immediately had someone bring Terrida's greatsword. This sword was entirely black, with a wide, heavy blade, exuding a fierce aura.This was a beheading saber Qin Tian had forged from the iron essence found in the mine, according to Terrida's requirements. Although it wasn't a spiritual artifact, it was exceptionally sharp, hard, and heavy.At the same time, Bear also retrieved the spiritual-grade giant axe he had acquired on Baiquan Star.Terrida gripped the beheading saber, and an astonishing light burst forth from his pupils. He suddenly raised the greatsword, and his blood resonated with the blade, emitting a humming sound."Fight!"Terrida roared and charged towards Bear first.The greatsword in his hand whistled through the air as he brought it down towards Bear's head.Bear was not to be outdone, swinging his giant axe to meet it. Crimson spiritual energy infused the axe blade, causing it to glow with an eerie red light."Clang!"The greatsword and giant axe collided fiercely, emitting a piercing metallic clang.Under the impact of immense power, the ground beneath their feet instantly shattered, forming a massive crater.Golden light and crimson spiritual energy erupted again, clashing and annihilating each other, creating shockwaves that forced those around them to close their eyes.This clash was more intense than any before.Both unleashed their full power, sparks flying from the clashing blades and axe, illuminating their fierce and excited faces.Before the sparks could die out, Terrida sharply flipped his wrist, and the black greatsword, using the force of the rebound, arced out. The blade, wrapped in golden blood energy, coiled towards Bear's neck like a spitting viper.This strike was at a tricky angle, avoiding the giant axe's edge, yet concentrating its force on three inches of the blade, clearly integrating the subtlety of Barbarian combat techniques into the weapon."Roar!"Bear roared, suddenly sinking his shoulder and bringing the giant axe horizontally to his neck.The moment the axe handle collided with the blade, he twisted his body using the rotational force, and crimson spiritual energy gushed out along the axe handle, actually forcing the greatsword back half an inch.This seemingly simple action of deflecting force maximized his brute strength, forcing Terrida to change his move."Clang! Clang! Clang!"The two once again engaged in battle.Terrida's footwork was as agile as a ghost, his feet moving nimbly across the uneven ground, each step landing in the most unpredictable positions.The greatsword in his hand sometimes chopped down densely like a raging storm, and at other times was as steady as a deep, still pool. The moment the blade collided with the giant axe, he could always subtly deflect it with skill, causing most of Bear's wild power to miss.During one exchange, he even used the momentum of Bear's axe swing, sliding his greatsword up the axe handle, and the back of the blade heavily struck Bear's wrist, almost making the giant axe fall from Bear's hand.Bear's fighting style, however, was simple and brutal to the extreme.He didn't dodge or evade at all, relying on his powerful physique and spiritual energy shield to withstand Terrida's blade winds. Each swing of his giant axe carried a world-destroying aura, as if to cleave everything in front of him into dust.Crimson spiritual energy burned on the axe blade, causing each collision to explode with dazzling red light, forcing Terrida to respond with full concentration. A slight mistake could lead to him being split in half by the axe blade.The crisp clang of blade and axe echoed like a rapid war drum throughout the encampment. Crimson-gold blood energy and crimson spiritual energy constantly collided and annihilated each other, forming visible ripples of energy that shattered the surrounding rocks.Sweat beaded on Terrida's forehead, and his breathing grew heavy. Bear was in no better state, his chest heaving violently.Both had their advantages: Terrida's advantage lay in his stronger physique and more refined technique, while Bear, as a Spiritual Energy User, had a greater amplification of his moves' power.After a series of clashes, neither could suppress the other."Continue!" Terrida roared, his fighting spirit soaring. His greatsword suddenly transformed into a myriad of blade shadows, simultaneously striking at Bear's vital points from multiple angles. This was the Barbarian sword technique pushed to its extreme, requiring blood energy to activate, with every move being lethal.Bear didn't dodge or evade, roaring loudly as his crimson spiritual energy surged several feet, and his giant axe danced in front of him, forming an impenetrable barrier."Clang, clang, clang!"Several crisp sounds almost merged into one, sparks exploding like fireworks between the two.Terrida was shaken back three steps, and Bear also stumbled back two steps, the ground beneath his feet cracking again in a spiderweb pattern.The two stood facing each other from a distance, both breathing heavily, but neither moved again.Dozens of moves had passed in a flash, yet it was still impossible to determine a victor.The surrounding Barbarians had long been dumbfounded, only now erupting in thunderous cheers.Splendid, truly splendid!In this battle, they finally witnessed Bear's true strength. It was clear that in his previous fight with Terrida, Bear had held back significantly.But at this moment, Terrida, after being transformed by the Superman Potion, was no longer inferior to Bear in strength, definitely a powerful expert on the level of a mid-tier tribal chief.Clap, clap, clap. Just then, Qin Tian clapped his hands with a smile, his eyes filled with satisfaction.Now, Bear and Terrida were truly evenly matched. In his opinion, both possessed peak Tier 5 strength. Bear was exceptionally gifted,his inherent talent was not inferior to a Silver Bloodline genius, and he could even contend with Golden-tier geniuses. As for Terrida, after being enhanced by the Superman Potion,both his potential and combat power could reach a level comparable to Bear's.At the same time, other Barbarian warriors, under the enhancement of the Superman Potion, had also reached an overall strength level of Tier 3 to Tier 4.Nearly two hundred Tier 3 and Tier 4 warriors—this was definitely a force not to be underestimated.Terrida relaxed his body, looked at Qin Tian, and sincerely said in his still-unfamiliar Imperial language:"Boss, thank you."Although he endured immense pain when taking the Superman Potion, the growth afterward exceeded his imagination. If he had developed normally, he might not have reached his current combat power height for ten or even twenty years.He was very grateful to Qin Tian for giving him and all his tribesmen the opportunity for rapid growth. At the same time, he also saw Qin Tian's practical actions and determination to cultivate everyone.Qin Tian patted Terrida's shoulder, feeling the muscles there as hard as iron, full of explosive power. A gentle smile appeared on his face, his tone calm yet powerful: "You don't need to thank me. This is what you deserve. You endured the pain of the potion with your own will. This growth is something you earned yourselves."Currently, he had three armed forces under his command: Feng Mocheng's Hurricane Mercenary Group, Li Qi's Hidden Kill, and Terrida's Barbarian Warband.In his plan, these three forces had different divisions of labor.The Hurricane Mercenary Group was deeply integrated with the Lingfeng Trading Company, primarily focusing on security and armed escort.All Hidden Kill members had been transformed into Night Demon Apostles by Li Qi. Each of them was proficient in assassination and intelligence gathering. Their future duties would also be this: building an intelligence network while also handling some dirty work that was inconvenient for him to do openly.As for the Barbarian Warband, they would shine on the battlefield—they were his most ferocious battering ram, an iron tide that would strike fear into enemies on the front lines."Alright, now you all get some good rest and master this new power as quickly as possible. I'll go arrange a set of equipment for you," Qin Tian said.Although Barbarians had astonishing physiques, equipping them with good gear would naturally be like adding wings to a tiger.For example, in Terrida's duel with Bear just now, after the battle, Terrida's beheading saber already had tiny cracks. Compared to the spiritual artifact great axe, this saber was still too crude. If the battle continued, the blade would shatter within a few moves.The importance of weapons was self-evident.He planned to find a renowned artifact forging studio to custom-make a set of equipment for this group of Barbarians and Bear, including armor and weapons.Especially for Terrida, his weapon had to be at least spiritual artifact grade.Coupled with the nurturing of his purple Lord of Weapons, at least in terms of weapons and equipment, they would not fall behind others.Speaking of Lord of Weapons, Qin Tian couldn't help but think of his two weapons, black frost and Hidden Kill.After this period of nurturing, black frost and Hidden Kill's performance had greatly improved, and they had permanently gained the four enchantment powers: sharpness, lifesteal, magic-breaking, and overload. However, the spiritual awakening he had anticipated had not yet appeared.He could sense that within these two weapons, a faint spirituality was subtly being born, but it was still one step away from true awakening. This step could not be achieved by continued nurturing through Lord of Weapons; it could only be realized through a specific catalyst, perhaps battle, or perhaps environmental shaping, for black frost and Hidden Kill to truly achieve spiritual awakening.In his opinion, battle should be the most direct and most promising path: letting black frost be drenched in blood, using Hidden Kill to reap souls, and awakening that dormant spirituality through continuous /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ slaughter and massacre.Unfortunately, he didn't have many opportunities for battle right now."After I settle the current matters, I still need to find a new battlefield~" Qin Tian murmured inwardly.
