"Um, Father, Grand Elder, I still have something to say." After a moment, Henry Brooks spoke again, and Grand Elder responded with a smile: "Jack, your child here is much stronger than those other two. Logan is too honest and simple—this is the Great Wilderness, how can you survive without being ruthless and tough?"

"Little Henry, go ahead, what else is there? Looks like sneaking out this time wasn't in vain. Once the matter with the Wood Tribe is settled, you’ll go to the ancient forest and hunt blood food for Ethan Brooks for a year. All these years, the clan has given you the best resources to cultivate, it’s time to give back. The sons of Ethan Brooks should face storms and slaughter!" Jack Brooks said.

Hearing this, Henry Brooks did not object. Even if he wasn’t allowed to go out, he would have snuck out anyway. Otherwise, there was no way he could complete his Body Tempering Extreme in two years. Hunting blood food for the clan was nothing to him.

Without hesitation, as he spoke again, he began to recite a secret technique.

Boom!

In an instant, Jack Brooks stood up in the great hall, a domineering aura flashing and vanishing. Not only him, but Grand Elder and Elder Brother also rose directly from their stone seats, shock in their eyes!

"Little Henry, this...!"

Jack Brooks shouted, even hearing about the appearance of the Wood Tribe hadn’t shocked him this much!

The Five Body Tempering Methods of the Qingyang Clan!

The very foundation of Ethan Brooks's establishment!

And now, it was being recited from the mouth of his youngest son—and it had even been improved!

"This...!"

Finally, after Henry Brooks finished reciting the entire Five Body Tempering Methods, a long time passed in the great hall before heavy breathing could be heard.

Facing the probing gazes of Father, Grand Elder, and Elder Brother, Henry Brooks firmly shook his head, saying nothing!

It was Grand Elder who reacted first. They were all experts at the Divine Repository Realm, so it was easy for them to memorize thousands of words of secret techniques.

"My Ethan Brooks's Five Methods can actually be improved like this. Twenty years—no, it won’t even take twenty years. Once this generation of children in the tribe grows up, the strength of Ethan Brooks will surely increase!"

"Good, good, good!" Grand Elder exclaimed, eyes full of excitement. For him, nothing was more important than seeing the tribe grow stronger!

At this moment, they no longer asked about the source of the secret technique. Of course, what they guessed in their hearts was unknown!

"No, all those children in the clan who have just started the first or second step of body tempering must retrain. Although it will delay them a bit, their chances of advancing to the Divine Repository Realm in the future will definitely increase!"

"Retraining will require more blood essence. Logan, tomorrow you’ll lead the hunting team into the ancient forest in shifts to hunt fierce beasts!"

"And have those old fellows in the clan hall come out and personally teach these little brats..."

"Heaven bless Ethan Brooks, hahaha..."

Looking at the somewhat incoherent Grand Elder, Henry Brooks instead felt a deep warmth. The Great Wilderness was full of dangers; only unity within the clan could ensure survival. Ethan Brooks was like this, and that was good.

"Little Henry, these days you’ve been sneaking out of the clan!"

Seeing Jack Brooks's gaze, he nodded heavily. Immediately, blood energy surged through his body, and on the arm exposed outside his beast robe, faint wrinkles appeared.

"Wrinkled skin—Body Tempering Extreme!"

But that wasn’t all. In the center of his palm, a phantom crescent moon appeared, radiating a murderous aura!

"Killing intent—this is the Path of Slaughter!"

The shock in Jack Brooks's eyes grew even stronger. This was a law of heaven and earth. He himself had only begun to touch upon such laws after reaching the Spirit Capturing Realm, but his child was still at the Body Tempering Realm!

The next moment, Jack Brooks burst out laughing, shaking the entire clan hall until it buzzed. "Grand Elder, did you see that? This is the seed of Jack Brooks!"

"Haha..."

Seeing Father laugh, Elder Brother also started to laugh foolishly, and he too laughed. The mental exhaustion from days of fighting in the ancient forest was swept away!

Chapter 9: Clan Warriors Enter the Forest, Encircle and Hunt the Wood Tribe!

Under the night sky, starlight poured down from the great stars. In the vast mountains, the great hall flickered with beast fire and trembled, hearty laughter echoing through the mountains, causing the Brooks Warriors patrolling in the night to all look toward the clan hall.

It was a long time before Jack Brooks finally calmed down, and the deeply wrinkled face of Grand Elder was also creased with smiles.

Heaven bless Ethan Brooks!

That was the thought in the old man’s heart!

Not only were there even more profound secret techniques, but they also brought great hope for the future of Ethan Brooks!

In the Great Wilderness, only the strong are the foundation for a tribe’s survival and growth.

"If those hidden Wood Tribe people really came for the treasure of plant essence, Grand Elder will definitely seize it for you. Everything on the land of Ethan Brooks should belong to Ethan Brooks!"

Henry Brooks came to Grand Elder's side, grinning as he spoke to him. Back then, it was Grand Elder who had personally taught him the basics of martial arts.

"That's right, everything on this land of Ethan Brooks belongs to Ethan Brooks. You little brat, you’re just like your Father back in the day—like a wolf, never letting go once you bite!" Grand Elder also laughed, slapping him on the back.

"That’s how it should be. In the Great Wilderness, there are only deer that die miserably, never wolves that starve. If you’re not ruthless, how can you survive!"
