559: Wu

However, these cultivation methods and martial arts manuals that she obtained could be directly given to Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng for research.

Thinking of this, Maple Leaf said in the Cross-World Group to Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng, "@Yi Xin, @Lin Zifeng, I'll send you the cultivation methods and martial arts manuals directly once I get them."

"Thank you!" Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng immediately replied to Maple Leaf. After all, cultivation methods and martial arts from different worlds surely had their own strengths, and what the Tianjing Tribe would give them would definitely not be simple. This was a good thing for them.

"As a return, we will specifically research a martial art for you," Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng replied to Maple Leaf.

"That's truly wonderful!" Maple Leaf quickly said, not expecting such a pleasant surprise.

This was the real reward for her.

Between the Li Wu World and Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng from the Cross-World Group, she would undoubtedly choose Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng.

After all, which of the cultivation methods in the group wasn't researched, created, or refined by the two of them?

Not to mention, Maple Leaf's own cultivation method, especially the "Awakening," was tailor-made for her by Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng.

Now they were even going to specifically research a martial art for her—how could she not be excited!

The next day arrived, and in the evening, the Tianjing Tribe began its celebration feast.

A group of Wisdom Warriors stood on the stage, reporting statistics on the Hunting Celebration's gains, casualties, and other aspects.

Finally, it was time for the "award list" of this Hunting Celebration.

They began to read from lowest to highest, distributing prizes simultaneously.

At this pace, it would take at least one or two hours to reach the first-place winner.

However, while the ceremony proceeded, everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.

It did not affect the "awards ceremony" of the entire gathering in the slightest.

Maple Leaf was not in a hurry either, eating large chunks of roasted meat below.

What was meant to come would always come.

After two hours, watching the rankings continuously rise and the rewards—meat, martial arts, cultivation methods—being handed out one by one... finally, it was Maple Leaf's turn!

"And finally, the one whom everyone has witnessed, and who is undoubtedly the first place in this Hunting Celebration! Maple Leaf!" Mi loudly announced from above.

"Oh!!!" The people below, hearing Maple Leaf's name, cheered excitedly, many even putting down their food and waving their arms, shouting with excitement.

They were all very clear about Maple Leaf's performance in the Hunting Celebration, and moreover, the worship of the strong was an inherent tendency of living beings. Especially in the Li Wu World, a world where strength spoke loudest!

What's more, Maple Leaf was already a strong person standing at the pinnacle of the world!

Maple Leaf stood up and walked towards the stage.

The surrounding people cheered for Maple Leaf, their gazes following her as she moved.

Under everyone's gaze, Maple Leaf arrived on the stage.

"These are your rewards!" Mi smiled and handed two secret manuals made of beast hide to Maple Leaf.

Maple Leaf took them and immediately "pocketed" them, sending both secret manuals directly to Yi Xin.

Let Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng research them.

"Finally, it is Maple Leaf's opportunity to meet the Chief!" Mi announced to everyone.

Everyone immediately cheered, while also looking at Maple Leaf with some envy.

Everyone knew that this meeting with the Chief was not merely about getting acquainted with him.

Instead, it meant being able to make a request to the Chief, and within a reasonable scope, the entire Tianjing Tribe would serve her!

That was the concept!

It wasn't just a simple meeting with the Chief.

"The Chief is waiting for you in the back," Mi whispered to Maple Leaf, glancing towards a large main tent behind the celebration feast area.

"Okay, thank you!" Maple Leaf nodded.

"Alright! The celebration feast! Officially begins! Everyone, eat, drink, and have fun to your heart's content!" Mi nodded, then shouted loudly to everyone.

The people of the Tianjing Tribe cheered!

At this moment, the celebration feast truly began.

Maple Leaf, meanwhile, eagerly walked towards the back.

She was finally going to meet this mysterious Chief of the Tianjing Tribe.

Everyone in the Cross-World Group was also eagerly anticipating what kind of existence this mysterious Chief of the Tianjing Tribe would be.

Maple Leaf arrived outside the main tent and called inside, "Maple Leaf has come to pay respects to the Chief!"

"Come in," a voice that sounded like its owner was a very majestic person came from within.

Maple Leaf lifted the curtain in front of her and walked in.

Inside, she saw a tall, burly man. Even sitting down, Maple Leaf felt he was about as tall as her.

The man had a massive slicked-back hairstyle, with a large amount of hair swept back, resting on his shoulders, and a few strands falling from his temples.

His face was resolute, with sharp features; he looked like a tough, fierce man. His muscles were incredibly solid, and combined with his height, which felt at least two and a half meters, he resembled a giant fierce bear sitting there.

Maple Leaf looked at the bear-like man in front of her. He was merely sitting there, yet she already felt an indescribable sense of oppression weighing on her heart.

What an oppressive man!

"My name is Wu. I know you, Maple Leaf," the Chief of the Tianjing Tribe, Wu, said, standing up as he spoke.

Maple Leaf immediately felt a shadow envelop her.

This guy... what a massive physique!

Maple Leaf looked at him; he was nearly three heads taller than her, and his build was so robust that his arm felt as thick as her entire body.

However, despite his body being so "bulky," it still gave a sense of great harmony and explosive power, which was a very strange feeling, creating a unique aesthetic of "contrasting impression."

Just as Maple Leaf was about to say something, Wu continued, "I also know you are from another world, and I know you are here for this thing."

Wu took out a special crystal. The moment he took it out, a notification appeared:

[Core Fragment Detected!]

Everyone in the Cross-World Group received the prompt.

Maple Leaf's pupils constricted sharply, then she couldn't help but frown, looking at him.

He knew everything? Then why was he doing this now?

She remained silent, quietly watching him, waiting for his explanation.

Wu doing this surely wasn't just to "show off" in front of her.

"I know you want this thing, but I want to know why! Because I have a feeling that you came 'with a purpose' and 'with a mission,'" Wu said, looking at Maple Leaf. After speaking, he pressed the crystal against his body, and it merged into him.

Seeing this, Maple Leaf realized that this core had actually been fused by Wu!

And his words... she had to admit, his feeling was very accurate!

"I am indeed from another world, and I do have a mission. Allow me to introduce myself: I am a member of the Cross-World Group - Maple Leaf," Maple Leaf formally said to Wu.
