Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 125

The most solemn day in the Snow Tiger Tribe was the Grand Ritual of the tribe.

Except for the patrolling half-beastmen warriors, every beastman of the Snow Tiger Tribe had already gathered in the open space at the center of the tribe.

At that moment, the Wu stood on the stone platform at the center and held a Wu staff that glowed with a soft blue light.

Surrounding the Wu were rows of strong beastman warriors. Beyond them stood the half-beastmen warriors, and finally the pure humans and slaves.

Wu Yue had also changed into a clean fur garment that had been made from the beast hide Mu Jing delivered last time.

When she stepped out wearing it, she received many envious glances from the other females.

In this era, where most people wore nothing at all, having a piece of fur clothing was considered a luxury. Other beastman families usually saved their fur for gathering or to keep warm during the winter.

On the stone platform, besides the Wu stood the chief and Ye Duo. Ye Duo stood obediently behind the Wu, mimicking his every move with a look of deep devotion. She truly looked the part of a Wu apprentice.

The Wu’s voice was still hoarse as ever. He chanted ancient and mysterious incantations in a low murmur. Waves of Wu power rippled from him and spread outward like concentric circles until they gradually enveloped the entire Snow Tiger Tribe.

The beastmen from the three visiting tribes lifted their heads in shock. The place where they stood was outside the reach of the Wu’s power, but such a large-scale display of Wu power in a ritual was truly rare.

“What is the Wu of the Snow Tiger Tribe thinking? A ritual of this magnitude could shorten his life if he uses too much Wu power,” said the Wild Lion Chief with a serious expression.

The Black Wolf Chief nodded. “Our tribe has never held a ritual with this much Wu power.”

“Ours neither,” added the Eagle Chief.

At that moment, Wu Yue felt the small amount of Wu power she had cultivated inside her body being stirred. It felt like it was about to burst out.

She called out anxiously to the system. “Hey, you rotten system, I think my Wu power is about to be pulled out!”

The system responded calmly. “Relax, host, there is no need to panic. This is just because your Wu power is resonating with the Wu’s power.”

Sure enough, after a short while, Wu Yue felt the Wu power within her settle down again.

She let out a quiet sigh of relief. Only she knew how difficult it had been to cultivate this Wu power. If the Wu had really drawn it out of her, she would not even have a place to cry.

After the ritual ended, the Wu’s complexion had turned pale. But even more drained than his face was his heart.

Although the tribe had gained a few more adult beastmen, and Yuan Lang along with a few others had even advanced to silver rank warriors during the ritual,

Still, no new Wu apprentice had appeared in the tribe.

Unlike the disappointed Wu, Ye Duo was brimming with excitement and could barely contain herself.

The tension she had been carrying before the ritual finally lifted.

There was still no new Wu apprentice. She remained the only one in the tribe.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue was completely bewildered. “You rotten system, get out here! What is going on? Why is there still no fluctuation of Wu power around me?”

The system replied with guilt. “…”

It sounded very unsure.

“Host, this is not my fault. I am just a newly-activated system. Who knew your Wu power’s fluctuations would only be detectable once you officially become a Wu? Host~”

Wu Yue shivered. “Speak properly, you rotten thing.”
