This guy’s legs were trembling when he got out of bed, and Duncan also wanted to adapt to the customs here, and at the same time probe into Hegel’s strength.
——"Blood of the Nine-headed Hydra Lizard (Special Ability): Legend has it that the Nine-headed Hydra Lizard originated as a demon from the Era of Chaos. Its bloodline power will enhance one’s physique attributes and strengthen resistance to acid and poison."
This was yesterday’s reward for taking down an enemy.
This era has many legendary monsters. For Duncan, resources are quite abundant, but the challenges are extremely difficult.
The battle group lost quite a few people yesterday.
After seeing Hegel enter the arena, many women who indulged in revelry last night rushed over to spectate. The human nature loves a spectacle, especially those women who spent a night with Hegel, and they couldn’t help but come over to watch his combat prowess.
Not far away, the enchanting priestess was also present, with lingering blush on her face from the night’s pleasure, her eyes seemingly glued to the heroic figure of Hegel.
In the center of the square.
Hegel raised his spear and stared at Duncan before him, saying in a deep voice, "Let the thunder tear through the clouds, let the war cry shake the earth!"
"This is what living means!"
The chant was one of the teachings of the God of Strength, Hegel was a warrior of the Path of Fury, pursuing the Power of Thunder and Storm.
Duncan also recalled, he lifted his battle axe, raised his shield, and said in a deep voice, "True strength is not about crushing the weak, but facing stronger opponents!"
The Human Form pursues the path of courage and strength, daring to draw a blade against a stronger foe!
He is a slave’s son.
The Usga Barbarians generally do not engage in production, and at most integrate hunting into wilderness trials. They are somewhat like Spartans, with each tribe having vassals and slaves. The original Queen Minsk was the product of a Barbarian Race warrior assaulting a slave, so he only possesses half Barbarian blood, slightly weaker in innate Barbaric Power.
Unsure of when it happened.
The Shen Kan displayed amidst the square emitted a glimmer of Spiritual Light, indicating their arena combat had caught the attention of Kod, the God of Strength.
Usually, such arena combat occurs every day. The exalted Divine Spirit doesn’t constantly pay attention. It requires exceptionally outstanding combat or battles filled with fearless courage to possibly attract a sliver of the Divine Spirit’s gaze.
But given that Hegel is of Divine Son status, he can conduct a ceremony and almost always draw the Divine Spirit’s extra attention.
——God of Strength - Coen (Mighty Divine Power)!
This Divine Spirit was particularly powerful during the Barbaric Era, but as times progressed, pure Barbaric Power began to decline. With civilization replacing barbarism, it would likely fall to moderate divine power.
Different divine positions have strengths and weaknesses in different eras.
Take the Barbarian Race tribe as an example; the Divine Spirit they worship doesn’t include a God of Commerce, but instead, a demigod who assumes commercial concepts. While at the Golden Coast, the indigenous people worship the highest Divine Spirit, the God of Commerce and Wealth.
Legend has it that the Golden Battle Group guarding that prosperous coast wore the continent’s most luxurious and expensive armor. They are the best-equipped defenders of the city-state.
——Hegel (Fatigued) (Divine Son) (Strength) (Four-star Silver-gray).
This guy must have slept with at least ten women yesterday. His fatigued state after the frenzy has not disappeared. Observing from Duncan’s seasoned combat experience, it’s apparent that his footing is unstable.
But the Divine Son’s talent makes Hegel extremely conceited and arrogant. He is well aware of the Human Form’s strength and believes he can take him down in three moves.
In other words, he’s relying on physical attribute domination.
No matter how diligently the Human Form trained, the vast difference in physical constitution cannot be easily compensated by combat skills.
Roar!
Hegel roared and rushed forward first, intending to finish swiftly, and topple Duncan at once. He was planning for a large revelry tonight as well, and the group would be staying at the Dibite town for several days before continuing south along the river.
Crash!
But what happened next was unexpected. The Human Form, always subdued by Hegel’s innate divine power, unexpectedly held his own against Hegel’s wild charge directly. At the moment of collision, the land underfoot of both sunk, and a cloud of dust spread out like a blast of air.
