Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Ancestral Stone Sculpture

Anna arrived at the peak, and Song Jian quickly explained what had happened.

“Anna, can you cure him, restore him back to normal, without affecting his strength?” Song Jian asked.

Anna glanced at the twitching Xerxes and said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: “I can heal his body, no problem. But whether it will affect his strength, this I do not know.”

“Really, can his body be healed?” Kane exclaimed excitedly, “As long as his body can be healed, the impact on strength isn’t important.”

“Yes, as long as the body is healed, it’s fine if the strength slowly recovers.” The other elders also said comfortingly.

Anna met Song Jian’s eyes, Song Jian gave a slight nod, and Anna took out the Goblet of Life and said to Kane, “Could you get me some clear water?”

Shortly, a jug of clear water was fetched. Anna poured the clear water into the Goblet of Life, and in no time a surge of vibrant life energy began to ripple from the Goblet of Life.

The originally tormented, twitching Xerxes gradually calmed down;

Anna gestured for two people to hold up Xerxes, she brought the Goblet of Life to his lips. Xerxes, who had slipped into a coma, surprisingly began to sip instinctively.

In a short span of time, the liquid in the Goblet of Life was drained. Xerxes’s twitching body had calmed down, his complexion rosy. He looked as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Only when Xerxes finally settled down, could all of the Blackhoof Tribe’s minotaurs breathe a sigh of relief.

“Anna, we are truly indebted to you this time for saving the life of one of our tribe members!” Kane acknowledged Anna with a solemn salute.

Anna seemed a bit shy and she shook her head a little.

“Life Priest, Life Priest, oh my god, the epic occupation recorded in the scriptures really exists!” An elderly minotaur couldn’t help but blurt out in excitement, seemingly remembering something.

“Elder, what is this?” Kane looked at him, puzzled, not understanding what he was saying.

“That is an epic occupation. Our Blackhoof Tribe has existed for nearly a thousand years and in this long history, only one person possessed an epic occupation.” The elderly elder was very excited. His gaze involuntarily darted towards a stone pillar in the distance.

“What, Elder, are you talking about the Quel Blade Master?” Kane couldn’t help but scrutinize Anna from top to bottom, his face drawn by surprise.

As the chief of the Blackhoof Tribe, Kane was naturally very familiar with the tribe’s scriptures. Hearing the elder comparing Anna with legendary figures like the Quel Blade Master was quite astonishing.

You should know that throughout the nearly thousand-year history of the Blackhoof Tribe, only one Quel Blade Master ever emerged. It was precisely because of his existence that the Blackhoof Tribe thrived for over a hundred years. His tales were still enjoyed by the tribespeople today.

Kane could hardly imagine that the seemingly frail girl before him could be compared to the Quel Blade Master.

“Eh, Brother Xerxes moved.” Kalu, who had been fixated on Xerxes, suddenly exclaimed and pointed at him, “I just saw Brother Xerxes’s finger twitch.”

All eyes were turned to Xerxes;

Soon, Xerxes slowly opened his eyes, a look of confusion appearing in them: “What…what happened?”

“Xerxes, you woke up!” Kane helped Xerxes up, his face revealing a look of relief. Xerxes was the hope of the Blackhoof Tribe, and the one Kane personally groomed as the next leader. Seeing that he was able to recover fully, Kane was very happy.

“I, I was fighting against someone…” Xerxes started to recall slowly, his face suddenly changed: “Tiger Demon Fist!”

“Xerxes, don’t practice the Tiger Demon Fist – it’s too dangerous. At least not until you’re level 30,” said Kane in a serious tone, “You were lucky this time. We happened to have an epic occupation Life Priest in our tribe, or else, you could have ended up totally paralyzed, bedridden for life, if you survived at all!”

“What, paralyzed?” Xerxes was scared, his whole body broke into a cold sweat from the thought of himself paralyzed for life.

“Remember this lesson!” Kane slapped him on the shoulder, harshly.

“Yes, Chief, I will remember this lesson!” Xerxes said earnestly.

“Good. Remember, you are the hope of the tribe. You must think things through before you act, don’t disappoint me again!” Kane hugged Xerxes tightly after speaking.

Xerxes, looking rather mortified, expressed his thanks to Anna and Song Jian, then stood aside in silence.

“Continue with the Ritual!” Kane shouted, all of the minotaurs shouting excitedly in response.

Kalu looked worriedly at Xerxes and asked him quietly, “Xerxes, are you feeling better? How’s your body? Will there be any effect on the upcoming activation of your talent abilities?”

The activation of talent abilities only has one chance. Even if he were to skip the opportunity this time, it would still be the same next time. However, once a challenger participates and fails to activate his talent abilities, he will not be able to activate them in the future, no matter how many times he participates.

Kalu was worried that Xerxes, due to his bodily condition, would have his talent activation affected.

Xerxes remained silent for a moment, then a strange look appeared on his face. He whispered, “It’s strange. Not only did I fully recover, but it seems my strength has even increased a bit!”

The water of life not only healed injuries but for its first users, also enhanced their attributes. Xerxes could clearly feel the changes in his body.

“Young tribesmen, choose the blessing of our ancestors, ignite your natural talents. Now, make your choices.” Kane shouted.

Dozens of young Minotaur began to sit around the stone pillars on the peak, reciting hymns;

The stone pillars around which these Minotaur were sitting all had Minotaur stone sculptures placed on them. These stone sculptures had different appearances that clearly displayed their occupational characteristics.

Song Jian walked towards the stone pillars under Kane’s gesture;

After succeeding in the challenge, he had earned the chance to receive the blessings of the ancestors of the Blackhoof Tribe. Although the ritual might not necessarily activate talent abilities, such an opportunity would undoubtedly result in cutthroat competition among other players if they knew about it.

Song Jian went to the stone pillar nearest to him. As soon as he approached, a system prompt appeared before him;

System: You found an ancestral stone statue of the Blackhoof Tribe – Elemental Shaman. Within a three-meter radius of the statue, you have a chance to comprehend one Elemental Shaman skill to become your talent ability.
