Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Kisame's body began to crack, like a rag doll.

His hair had become dry and brittle, and the layer of dark skin on his body had completely faded away.

What remains is the withered bark of a tree, like that of an old man.

The air currents in the air were constantly brushing against his face.

Kisame's mind was already replaying a slideshow.

I was originally planning to make one last desperate attempt, to give it my all.

If we can capture Ye Zhen, the extraordinary treasure he possesses will be enough to make up for everything.

That's a weapon capable of killing a guardian deity, enough to make anyone flock to it.

Despite his high position, Kisame has no shortage of courage to fight to the death.

But now he's like a moth drawn to a flame.

Despite exhausting all means, he didn't even manage to get anyone else's clothes dirty.

The Second Elder, Gui Jiao, crashed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Kisame's body was like red-hot coal, glowing with a reddish light.

Wisps of light emanated from the cracks in the body, like burnt-out coal.

The Oni warriors watching from the sidelines exchanged bewildered glances.

"The Second Elder lost?"

"An attack that was like a natural disaster had no effect."

"How is that possible? That's an elder-level expert!"

"We must report this to the Grand Elder immediately."

In the elders' meeting room, the other four elders initially appeared confident.

They could all see Ye Zhen fighting on the spot.

"It's actually a rare treasure?" After seeing Ye Zhen's performance, the Grand Elder seemed to understand something immediately.

In the eyes of the extraordinary individuals in these tribes.

The extraordinary power within the tribe has been passed down through generations, but it has taken a long time to develop to reach its current state.

How could it possibly be comparable to some random, unknown, awakened extraordinary being?

Therefore, overwhelming the outside world with extraordinary abilities became common knowledge to them.

A small squad of Ghost Tigers is enough to rival those unorthodox superhumans.

Therefore, for other fourth-tier superhumans, unless they are also from the same tribe.

Otherwise, the elders in these tribes would really look down on unorthodox extraordinary individuals.

Most importantly, it is very difficult for these self-taught superhumans to start over.

They had tried before to bring unorthodox superhumans from outside the tribe into the tribe.

However, becoming a member of a tribe isn't as simple as just joining.

The ritual of awakening is a necessary process.

The awakening ritual will conflict with the extraordinary powers possessed by these unorthodox superhumans.

In most cases, these unorthodox superhumans will explode and die.

Because the two extraordinary powers are incompatible.

Even if one manages to awaken successfully, they will need to start all over again.

The gap between a fourth-tier transcendent being and a first-tier transcendent being is unacceptable to many.

It's like going from heaven to hell.

Therefore, some people's Dao heart is shattered, and they can no longer take a step forward.

Later, some people in the tribe stopped accepting untrained superhumans from outside the tribe.

The First Elder tapped his fingers lightly on the table, while the Third Elder's eyes darted around as if he were plotting something.

One extraordinary treasure is enough to propel their tribe to the next level.

Why can their Ghost Tiger tribe only develop to this extent?

It was precisely because of the lack of a rare treasure that the tribe was unable to become a truly large tribe.

The Fourth Elder was resting with his eyes closed, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

The Fifth Elder was amazed at how strong Ye Zhen was.

Because the Fifth Elder is the newest elder, having just been promoted.

Therefore, the Fifth Elder is the weakest among the five elders.

It's only at the fourth rank, and hasn't stabilized at the initial stage of the fourth rank yet.

But what happened next caused the four elders to have different expressions. "The Second Elder's strength has actually reached this level?" The Third Elder had always been the Second Elder's rival.

However, the Third Elder has always been inferior to the Second Elder in terms of strength.

The Third Elder has been chasing after them.

However, in terms of both talent and effort, he is no match for the Second Elder.

According to them, the Second Elder was like an ancient ascetic monk.

He has always been cultivating, even while sitting in the position of elder.

He has been cultivating for ten years without fail, as if he were immune to pleasure.

This made the Third Elder very upset.

So now we see that the Second Elder actually possesses such power.

"This is already close to the intermediate level of the fourth rank, isn't it?" the Third Elder said.

"Yes, that's right, it's indeed close to the intermediate level of the fourth rank," the Grand Elder affirmed.

Because the strongest person in the tribe is not the second elder, but the first elder.

The Grand Elder is the only intermediate-level fourth-order transcendent being.

"Hmm?" The elder watched as Kisame burned himself out in the scene, but in the end, he did not cause any harm to Ye Zhen.

They originally thought it would be a piece of cake.

After all, the Second Elder is the strongest person below the First Elder.

Dealing with a self-taught superhuman from out of town is a piece of cake.

But now the Second Elder has actually perished?

He fought desperately and died on the spot.

Ye Zhen looked up at the sky, his gaze meeting that of the four elders through their surveillance.

The Fifth Elder's expression changed because of this perspective.

It was as if Ye Zhen was staring back at them.

"He didn't find us, did he?"

"Impossible, he couldn't possibly have such observational skills."

"The Second Elder actually lost." The Third Elder's eyes were lifeless, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Although the Second Elder has always been a rival, the two are like bickering lovers.

Now, this long-time rival is dead.

The Third Elder felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

"Elder," the Fourth Elder asked, "what should we do now?"

The Grand Elder remained calm and composed.

After all, he is the pillar of the tribe; if even he panics...

The entire tribe was completely wiped out.

"The Second Elder died fighting for the tribe; this is his honor."

The Fifth Elder had not yet recovered from the shock.

After all, from childhood, the idea that elders are invincible has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every member of the Ghost Tiger tribe.

Now, an elder has actually fallen?

It was all because of an outsider with extraordinary abilities that the Fifth Elder's worldview was indeed shattered.

Only the Grand Elder was making plans.

"I estimate he's at the mid-fourth tier," the elder thought to himself.

"He also possesses an extremely powerful and rare treasure."

“Otherwise, things would never have come to this.” The elder said softly, “I will take action.”

Upon hearing that the Grand Elder was actually going to lead the army in person...

"Elder, this is absolutely unacceptable!" the Third Elder refused outright.

“You are the pillar of our tribe, there is absolutely no way anything could happen to you.”

The Fourth Elder said, "The First Elder's skills are unparalleled, how could he possibly lose to that outsider?"

"The Second Elder lost, which can only be attributed to his inferior skills."

"You all used to say how amazing he was, but now that he's encountered a powerful enemy outside, he's actually died on the spot."

"This is truly a disgrace to our Ghost Tiger tribe." (End of Chapter)
