Different young men have different endurance levels under the intangible force field released by the primitive savage image. Zong Ya has already enlightened his savage soul and has absorbed the true blood of the cunning beast and the medicinal power of the meat soup most fully.

Among his peers, Zong Ling's endurance time is much longer. The others have already retreated, but he remains in a mysterious and frenzied state, circling the altar with a spear, his face solemn and devout, his naked body faintly glowing.

Seeing the joy in the eyes of Zong Tu and Zong Sang as they looked at Zong Ling, Chen Xun thought that Zong Ling must be in the process of enlightening his savage soul...

Zong Ya stopped and did not rush to drink the meat soup, but waited for Zong Ling to enlighten his savage soul.

Chen Xun felt that he needed to work even harder in the future. He could only visualize a vague image of the Nine Abyss Savage Soul in his divine soul sea. At just twelve years old, Zong Ling's talent was truly remarkable, no wonder Zong Sang's mouth was almost smiling from ear to ear.

After a while, Zong Ling's steps gradually slowed, as if bearing a weight of ten thousand pounds, with blood and sweat seeping from his face, neck, and chest. It seemed he was still far from the final step of fully manifesting the savage soul.

Seeing that Zong Ling was about to give out, Zong Tu, who was closely monitoring everything from the altar, stepped forward and tapped Zong Ling's forehead with his bone staff, waking him up.

Zong Sang anxiously walked over and asked, "What did you see with your mind's eye?"

"Light, blinding light, I couldn't even open my eyes..." Zong Ling said weakly.

"That's enough. Since you've already sensed it, with a bit more practice, you can truly cultivate your savage soul." Zong Tu picked up the limp Zong Ling and had Zong Sang feed him the meat soup.

Chen Xun thought to himself that Zong Ling still couldn't fully manifest his savage soul. The vague image he could visualize in his divine soul sea was much clearer than the blinding light Zong Ling saw with his mind's eye.

"You have a talented kid. Whether the Black Python can rise to the level of a heavenly savage depends on your kid and Zong Ya." A group of savage warriors gathered around, both envious and happy, and said to Zong Sang.

Zong Sang's mouth was already stretched to his ears: "Hehe, hehe, this kid has a bit of good fortune. If it weren't for the true blood extracted from the Black Scaled Cunning Beast this time, who knows when he could enlighten his savage soul..."

"May the primitive savages protect us!" the savage warriors said again.

Chen Xun saw the devout expressions on these savage warriors and was speechless. The Black Python tribe's worship of the primitive savages had reached the point of blind faith. The Black Scaled Cunning Beast was dragged back by me with great effort, wasn't it?

After drinking the meat soup, Zong Ling quickly recovered. After a short rest with Zong Ya, he joined the other children and walked up to the altar to undergo the intangible force field's tempering.

Clearly, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and others absorbed the medicinal power of the meat soup more fully.

At that moment, Chen Xun had the illusion that Zong Ya and Zong Ling had grown slightly taller.

Perhaps it wasn't an illusion.

Next, some of the initial stage savage warriors who had already reached adulthood but had not yet enlightened their savage souls also came forward to accept the tempering from the residual image war flag.

Their growth potential was limited, so they only ate one or two bowls of meat soup. After almost fully refining the medicinal power, they walked out of the animal enclosure.

"Come, drink a bowl first, then go up to the altar," Zong Sang took a bowl of meat soup and walked over to hand it to Chen Xun, telling him, "Empty your mind, don't think about anything..."

Chen Xun naturally knew that when the body and mind are in harmony, there should be no thoughts or desires. Even without fully manifesting the savage soul, the intangible force field could make the body's tempering more refined and effective.

Ordinary people cannot easily enter the state of no thoughts or desires, but making an effort to keep the mind and body calm would still be helpful.

Chen Xun saw Zong Sang's good intentions and the larger bowl he handed over, and felt grateful for his thoughtful consideration.

Chen Xun took the earthen bowl and drank the meat soup, which was fragrant. As it went down his throat, a powerful medicinal force turned into a rolling heat flow, spreading throughout his body. As he stepped onto the altar, it felt like walking into a lake filled with viscous liquid, making it difficult to move.

He didn't expect the altar to be the core of the intangible force field. The pressure felt at the edge was still light, but the further he walked toward the center of the altar, the greater the pressure on his body.

His muscles, bones, and flesh were all compressed simultaneously, and the medicinal force that had spread throughout his body was about to boil. Indeed, he didn't need to fully manifest the savage soul to temper his muscles and blood, which seemed to become more refined.

Seeing Zong Ya, who was sitting under the animal skin residual image, open his eyes and look at him, Chen Xun walked over. The intangible force field under the residual image was at least ten times stronger than at the edge of the altar. He sat next to Zong Ya, allowing the intangible force field released by the residual image war flag to help him absorb the medicinal power and temper his body.

Being in the intangible force field made Chen Xun realize that this animal skin residual image was not just for enlightening the savage soul and tempering the muscles and blood. It could absorb animal souls, release an intangible force field, and help the tribe members who had not yet enlightened their savage souls to attract the medicinal power of the meat soup. It was clearly a treasure with multiple wondrous uses.

Chen Xun glanced at the savage image hanging above his head but did not dare to try to visualize the Nine Abyss Savage Soul in his divine soul sea in front of everyone...

Chen Xun's unintentional action greatly shocked the people standing on the periphery, such as Nan Liao and Zong Sang.

Zong Sang said in surprise, "Wow, this kid has such strong endurance. He's already under the primitive savage image and still has time to look around, much more relaxed than Zong Ya!"

"If he were a Black Python man, how great it would be. His future achievements will surely surpass ours! He might even be better than your kid!" Nan Liao, who didn't particularly like this young man from another tribe, had to admit that Chen Xun's cultivation potential was stronger than that of the young men in the tribe.

Chen Xun felt that the medicinal power in his body had been fully refined and saw that Zong Ya was still meditating, so he walked down from the altar first.

At this moment, Nan Liao, Zong Sang, and the others were even more surprised.

"Did you absorb all the medicinal power in that bowl of meat soup so quickly?" Nan Liao saw that the bowl of meat soup Zong Sang gave to Chen Xun was clearly much larger, but since the Black Scaled Cunning Beast was dragged back by this young man from another tribe, he didn't say anything. However, he didn't expect this young man from another tribe to endure the tempering from the savage image so easily and to absorb the medicinal power of the meat soup so quickly.

Even he and Zong Sang, even if they fully enlightened their savage souls, couldn't absorb the medicinal power of the meat soup so quickly.

Zong Sang was also somewhat incredulous and called Chen Xun over, asking, "Why did you come down so quickly?"

"Drinking the meat soup made me feel warm all over. Now I don't feel the warm flow anymore. I think staying longer wouldn't have any more effect," Chen Xun said. In his mind, a large bowl of meat soup, when absorbed to temper the body, was about as effective as half a Black Python pill. With the help of the savage image, he could refine the medicinal power very quickly.

Seeing the meat soup in the bronze tripod, which was made from the remains of the cunning beast, the Black Python, and countless medicinal herbs, he thought it could fill two to three thousand bowls, equivalent to over a thousand Black Python pills. No wonder Zong Tu and Nan Liao were so ecstatic when they saw the cunning beast.

This was equivalent to increasing the power of all the savage warriors in the Black Python tribe by eight to nine years overnight.

Zong Sang, not knowing what Chen Xun was thinking, had his eyes wide open like copper bells: "You just feel warm! Is there any justice in the world!"

Drinking such a large bowl of meat soup, which was rich in the life essence of strange beasts, would make anyone feel their blood boil, but Chen Xun just felt "warm"?

Zong Tu said to give Chen Xun a larger bowl, and he was worried that Chen Xun couldn't withstand such strong medicinal power.

Nan Liao and the other savage warriors also shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Over the past three years, they had all seen the exceptional qualities of this young man from another tribe, but they were still overwhelmed by the shock at this moment.

With such strong and fast endurance and absorption abilities, even without enlightening the savage soul, if the force field of the savage image could last a night, allowing him to drink bowl after bowl of meat soup, his body's strength could be tempered to the peak of the ninth level of a savage warrior overnight.

Some of the savage warriors started hitting their heads with their fists: "Why isn't Xun a member of the Black Python tribe!"

"No, the rule that savage warriors don't teach outsiders must be changed!"

"The shaman said that after the soul sacrifice, Xun will join the tribe. Xun will be our Black Python tribe's genius!"

"Right, we won't have to suffer the arrogance of the Black Mountain tribe anymore; we'll take back the village that the Ghost Xi occupied!"

The shaman Zong Tu was still on the altar, watching the young men meditate and temper themselves. Zong Sang looked at Nan Liao at this moment.

Nan Liao looked up at the sky, hesitated for a while, and had someone bring two more bowls of meat soup.

Chen Xun knew that a bowl of meat soup was as precious as half a Black Python pill. Missing this opportunity, he might not have another chance to have a full meal for a long time. He took the earthen bowl and thanked Nan Liao: "Thank you, Uncle..."

Nan Liao felt a bit embarrassed.

He had always been relatively cold toward this young man from another tribe, but no matter what, the cunning beast was dragged back by Chen Xun. Hearing his "thank you," he felt he didn't deserve it.

Chen Xun drank the two bowls of meat soup in succession. The medicinal power that spread throughout his body made him feel a warm and hot surge. He then climbed back onto the altar, sat under the savage image, and accepted the tempering from the intangible force field.
