Chapter 315 – First Slave

For the more sensitive people around, even if they could detect something, the flames in Shao Xuan’s hand had already disappeared. When they could not find the source of the energy fluctuations, they’d only think that the other slave owners had itchy hands and would not care.

Shao Xuan then followed Su Gu to the other pits to watch a few beast fights. There were some battle with beasts, but most of the time, it was slaves fighting inside the pit.

Every year, Beast City would be burying some slaves, but they would also make new ones. For the slaves, the trip to the Colosseum was a good opportunity, like last year’s Dao Yu, who took a glorious victory in the center of the Colosseum, hence, his position within the Baishi slaves increased greatly.

Afterwards, Su Gu pressed a few bets again, winning and losing some. If he won, he would let Shao Xuan help him pick a box to be under the limelight again. But Su Gu was not too stupid. He knew not to overdo it, therefore, several choices were still his own. Although this made him choose poorly, he had reduced some people’s doubts. Besides, his harvest today was far more than he expected.

Since he received Shao Xuan’s help, Su Gu naturally gave more care to the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe. He also informed Shao Xuan of the news he heard in the slave owners’ circle.

Back to their camp, Shao Xuan went inside the house to rest for a while, then said to Lei and Tuo, “Help me look at the door outside. I have something to do.”

“Ok.”

The two did not ask Shao Xuan what he was going to do. Usually, when Shao Xuan would record things, they would also be guarding outside the door. Some things should not be seen by the slave owners. Therefore, at this time when they heard Shao Xuan said he had something to do, they did not think of anything else. The two people just went out to stand by while talking about the day’s events. If someone asked for Shao Xuan, they would tell them to return later, and won’t let anyone else enter the house.

After Lei and Tuo went out, Shao Xuan carefully examined his surroundings, making sure that no one was around, before raising his hands.

He saw several fights among slave owners to fight for other slaves today, and he had seen the enslavement of the slave owners on the spot.

Every time the slaves were enslaved, a flame would appear in Shao Xuan’s mind. It was similar to Su Gu’s, albeit there was a difference between the fire structure, but it was not as great as the totem flames between the tribes.

During the ritual, the power of the fire was volatile. However, every trace of movement and rotation of the energy, Shao Xuan remembered clearly. Every time it happened, the impression deepened more, even when he was only watching. Shao Xuan only had the image of it just then because many slave owners were around, and he did not let the fire out. Now that he was back here with no other people around, it was a good opportunity to try.

Before leaving the tribe, Shao Xuan had a discussion with the Shaman about the power of the slave owners. It was hard for the tribes to imagine how the power of the group slave owners came to be and how the power was given. Shao Xuan now determined that the power of the slave owners was very similar to the energy of the tribe’s fire seed. He even speculated that these two forces may be homologous.

Recovering his thoughts, Shao Xuan mobilized the power in his body. The totem flame in his mind was filled up, with the blue flame more active. Some slender filaments stretched out, then gathered together to extend.

Shao Xuan only felt a pressure from hid head down through his neck, then shoulder, going along his raised arm, then straight ahead.

The totem lines on his face and other parts of his body were revealed. The totem lines on his arms have been rushing through his elbows, stopping at the place close to his wrist. However, the pressure did not stop there, and still continued to move forward. It seemed to Shao Xuan that it would rush out of his arms.
