Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 133: Totem Barbarian Tattoo

In appearance, Fire Barbarians were no different from normal human beings.

But you could tell many differences when looking at them closely. For example, the hair of Fire Barbarians glowed with fiery lights like the stars.

And their pupils were diamond-shaped, radiating blood-like lights.

A tattoo in the shape of fire totem on the breast covered the vital part where the heart lay.

That was their inborn fire tattoo, which could act as a “Totem Fire Armor” to protect the heart in fighting.

On a training ground, a Fire Barbarian was standing in front of Lin Xun at this moment.

It was a strong ninth-level Barbarian Slave, equivalent to a practitioner on the ninth level of Martial Realm.

Boom!

The battle began. The Fire Barbarian rushed ferociously at Lin, with his figure enveloped in glaring flame. Every inch of his muscles was tense, with extremely fierce and aggressive momentum.

He threw a punch at Lin.

Lin Xun took a deep breath, assembling his strength to his hand. Then his fist directly hit hard against the Fire Barbarian’s.

Along with a bang, a blast of scorching and terrible force like molten lava engulfed Lin Xun and almost made Lin’s wrist crack.

“The physical strength of barbarians from dark tribes is abnormally strong. For practitioners of the empire, fighting only by physical strength with them is tantamount to kicking against the pricks.”

Though thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin’s movements were not slow. With his arms exerting force, he rushed out like a bomb, and bumped heavily into the Fire Barbarian’s bosom.

With a thump, the Fire Barbarian was smashed hard on the ground over 30 meters away. But he stood up instantly, totally unscathed.

This was exactly the dreaded feature of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe; they were natural warriors who were endowed with powerful strength and their bodies were as sturdy as steel.

In the anatomy class before, Shu Sanqi had already mentioned that with the equivalent cultivation, practitioners could only rely on all kinds of spiritual equipment to be able to combat with the strong ones of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe face-to-face.

The most crucial reason was that the physical strength of most practitioners was far less powerful compared with Voodoo-barbarians’.

“Hum! You humans are just feeble trash who cannot withstand even a single blow without the protection of spiritual equipment!”

The Fire Barbarian dashed towards Lin once again, with great momentum and fire flaming all over his body. Madness showed in his bloodthirsty eyes.

Lin frowned, and took a deep breath. Just relying on pure physical strength, Lin fought hard with him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was a cruel hand-to-hand combat, with every punch directly working on the flesh.

Every single punch Lin threw was powerful enough per se to smash rock and crush steel. But when the punch fell on the Fire Barbarian, it only rendered his body slightly shaky every time.

On the contrary, every punch from the Fire Barbarian made blood tempestuously rolling inside Lin’s body. Fortunately, the Fire Barbarian seemed lacking in combat experience and his fighting skills were so rough that Lin could avoid most of his attacks.

Even so, Lin Xun had to admit that if the Fire Barbarian had learnt some fighting skills that were powerful enough to counter against his, he would have probably been defeated far earlier.

And this once again proved that such a strongman of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe was indeed inborn warrior–their body and strength were the sharpest weapons!

Fifteeitual power surging out, Lin Xun suddenly exerted his strength, condensed all the power on his fist and threw a punch.

Nearly slicing the air, Lin’s punch made a threatening whistle.

The Fire Barbarian could have never thought that Lin Xun, who had been fighting with pure physical strength, would suddenly make use of spiritual power at this very moment and attack him when he was off his guard.

With a bang, the middle of the chest of the Fire Barbarian was directly smashed sunk and the Fire Barbarian let out a heartrending cry.

“Despicable human!!” he yelled, but he could not stand up. He struggled on the ground for a long time before he eventually died.

“Really an idiot! I only wanted to know more concretely about your fighting capacity and skills just now. Now I’ve known enough, so I won’t restrain my strength any more. How can this be called ‘despicable’? No wonder Drillmaster Shu said that the biggest weakness of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe is their unintelligence.”

Lin walked towards him and bent over to tear open his clothes. Looking at the broken “Totem Fire Armor” in the center of his chest, Lin could not help but secretly nod.

Sure enough, as long as you smashed the heart of a Voodoo-barbarian, he would be directly dead.

But it was not easy to smash the heart exactly due to this “Totem Fire Armor”, which, like a natural inner spiritual armor, covered the chest of every descendant of the Fire Barbarians when he was born.

It was also known as the “Totem Barbarian Tattoo”, which would be activated during the battle and turned into an inner armor to protect the heart.

In addition to the Fire Barbarians, other branches of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe, like Water Barbarians, Gold Barbarians, Wood Barbarians and Earth Barbarians, all possessed such “Totem Barbarian Tattoos”.

In other words, the “Totem Barbarian Tattoo” was the most obvious sign to judge the identity of one Voodoo-barbarian.

Lin took out his Sky Breacher and carefully cut off the broken “Totem Barbarian Tattoo” on that Fire Barbarian’s chest.

He was very interested in this kind of thing.

There was a rumor in the empire that, a long, long time ago, it was the “Totem Barbarian Tattoo” that had inspired a legendary and knowledgeable master who later inscribed the first spiritual tattoo in the world!

Although the rumor was not credible, Lin Xun had once learnt from Master Lu that the “Totem Barbarian Tattoo” held a kind of natural and wonderful texture and contained many mysteries that people couldn’t uncover till now; and if the mysteries could all be unlocked one by one, more incredible spiritual tattoos might be created.

Lin Xun was not interested in creating spiritual tattoos. But he was very curious about the mysteries hidden in these “Totem Barbarian Tattoos”.

…

At noon, the actual combat training was over.

Lin Xun did not go to the canteen like other trainees. Instead he went to Old Mo’s warehouse.

This was the exclusively special treatment he got. Today in Camp 39, all trainees knew that Lin was chosen by a spiritual tattooist to be his assistant.

Although Lin still participated in the daily training, he wouldn’t stay in the camp for the rest of the time. This had aroused curiosity of a lot of people, but Lin never said anything about what he was really doing in Old Mo’s warehouse.

When Lin Xun arrived, Young Man had already prepared a hearty meal, and Old Mo was still studying his newly updated spiritual furnace.

Young Man was a sexy beauty with a hot body and a coquettish face. It was rare that she held a zealous attitude towards Lin, just like an elder sister taking care of her brother.

Every time Lin came here, she would have gotten the meal ready and would inquire Lin about his training in the camp when eating.

Today was no exception. Lin had adapted to Young Man’s enthusiasm and felt quite warm, knowing that this sexy beauty was authentically kind to him.

“Not bad. I will achieve a breakthrough in cultivation within two months,” Lin said casually while eating.

Ten days had passed since the monthly assessment. Lin’s life had returned to the intense and fulfilling training. Cruel though it was, he would adapt to it as long as he persevered.

And Lin could also clearly feel that his strength was improving every day, which made him very satisfied.

“Don’t slack off. Your performance was good in the last monthly assessment, but you still have a long way to go, compared with some of the top ones,” Young Man reminded.

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Of course. If I dare to slack off, I am afraid that you will be the first one kicking my ass.”

“Bah!” Young Man stared at Lin with watery eyes, saying, “After less than two months, there will be the quarterly assessment, which is much crueller than the monthly test. If you can’t reach the eighth level of Martial Realm before then, go to pack your things up and prepare to leave the Bloodthirsty Camp.”

Lin raised his eyebrows, “Is the quarterly assessment very tough?”

Young Man said seriously, “You’ll know by then. Your opponents will no longer be the trainees from other camps, but the real strongmen of Voodoo-barbarian Tribe!”

Lin felt a shiver in his heart and nodded, “I see.”

At this time, Old Mo suddenly plopped down beside Lin and said, not in the mood to eat, “Boy, it will take at most two months before the Ziying Battleship undergoes a brand new transformation. I will invite you to personally test its power and let you witness my capabilities by then!”

Old Mo’s face was full of complacency.

Not waiting for Lin to say anything, Young Man said dismissively, “Old Mo, I only know that you should owe to Lin for the transformation of Ziying Battleship. I don’t know what you are proud of.”

The look on Old Mo’s face suddenly stiffened, and with a snort, he decided to bury himself in eating, only his eyes ferociously sweeping across Young Man’s ample bosom from time to time as if the behaviour was in retaliation for her sarcasm.

Not bothering to pay more attention to the old goat, Young Man directly kicked Old Mo away from the dinner table. Seeing Old Mo burst into anger and shouting abuse, she just smiled charmingly, wearing a look full of awareness that he could simply do nothing to her.

Lin also couldn’t help but smile.

A month passed quickly.

During the time Lin Xun had successfully brightened the fourth star in the sea of his consciousness by diligent cultivation, thus his soul perception boundary extended to a distance of a bit more than one hundred and thirty meters.

At the same time, he was only one step away from Mastery of the seventh level of Martial Realm, which was inseparable from the help of Condensate Pills.

During this period of time, he consumed twenty Condensate Pills each day for his spiritual energy cultivation. As one Condensate Pill was worth ten imperial silver coins, twenty Condensate Pills amounted to two hundred imperial silver coins!

The daily expense of two hundred imperial silver coins was a large sum of money for many practitioners; and even the majority of practitioners could hardly afford such expenditure for a long time.

Lin Xun could definitely not afford such expenses in the past, but fortunately he was now in the Bloodthirsty Camp and also thanks to Young Man, he could enjoy such treatment without bartering his points for it.

Otherwise, Lin would definitely dare not to splash out in this way.

And all of the great advances he made resulted from his special body constitution — the four spiritual vortexes on his four acupoints of cardiac vessel, which were enough to help him hone and absorb greater and purer spiritual power.

Perhaps this was a talent property which belonged to Lin Xun only. It remained unclear whether there was a difference between this property and the “Devouring Abyss”, a rare spiritual vein that he originally possessed.

This made Lin pleased, but he still couldn’t help but feel a little distressed. He was now only in the seventh level of Martial Realm and the Condensate Pills he needed to consume every day were already worth two hundred imperial silver coins; then how much more resources would he need to support his cultivation as his level improved?

To put it in a nutshell, it was true that one couldn’t lack money in the process of cultivation.

In the past month, the only thing that had made Lin somewhat astonished was that an unimaginable thing had happened on the test he tried in the Heaven-accessing Place every three days!
