Hu Yinwen now faced significant challenges, so much so that he had neither the time nor the means to trouble Lu Haikong, not that he had ever intended to do so.
While the deaths of his four competitors had paved the way for his smooth succession, the loss of a substantial number of middle-tier noble elites had already plunged the entire tribe into a perilous state. If not handled well, the entire tribe might descend into chaos at any moment.
Of course, one had to acknowledge that Hu Yinwen was indeed capable. If his brothers or uncles had faced this issue, they would likely have been at a loss, but for Hu Yinwen, this problem was merely a minor inconvenience. He had several solutions at his disposal; he just needed time.
As Hu Yinwen dedicated himself to resolving the aftermath of this unexpected event, Lu Haikong, on the other hand, seemed to be having a much better time.
With all the troubles and hassles left for others to handle, Lu Haikong naturally became one of the beneficiaries. He had obtained two Bronze Chests alone, so how could he not be delighted?
Speaking of the chests, Lu Haikong was still somewhat upset about not getting a Silver Chest. He had initially thought that he could defeat Hu Yinqi on his own, but in the end, he still needed Dian Wei's intervention. As a result, a potential Silver Chest turned into a Bronze Chest.
Lu Haikong was still a bit annoyed about this. After returning to the tent, he deeply understood the saying, "Strike while the iron is hot." He decided to allocate one million of the allocatable skill experience points he gained today for breaking through the 25th level of the Basic Axe Technique, and the rest would be used to enhance the Wild Wolf Body Conditioning Fist.
The tens of thousands of skill experience points were not enough to level up the Wild Wolf Body Conditioning Fist, but it filled up most of the experience bar. With the Wild Wolf Necklace's boost and Lu Haikong's remarkable talent, it wouldn't take long for him to cultivate the Wild Wolf Body Conditioning Fist to the second level.
The second level of the Wild Wolf Body Conditioning Fist should increase Lu Haikong's strength to 69 points, making his combat power even stronger. As for the idea of raising the Basic Axe Technique to the 25th level to directly boost his strength beyond 70 points, Lu Haikong had no such thoughts.
By now, Lu Haikong had gained a better understanding of the game. He knew that breaking through the 70-point threshold required crossing a certain hurdle, and until he overcame that challenge, any further skill upgrades might be futile.
After allocating the skill experience points, Lu Haikong began to inventory the spoils of war.
After months of living as a bandit, especially after their first raid, Lu Haikong had gradually transformed from a foodie into a treasure hunter. Every time after a fight or battle, no matter how exhausted he was, Lu Haikong would eagerly take stock of the spoils. For him, this moment of inventorying the spoils was nothing short of blissful.
In reality, although Lu Haikong complained about not obtaining a Silver Chest, his gains were still impressive.
While Hu Yili had been half-dead from Hu Yinqi's previous beating, Lu Haikong's finishing blow did not yield any loot besides the Bronze Chest and skill experience. However, Hu Yinqi, who was the primary force behind Lu Haikong's victory, did drop some items, and they were exceptional.
Hu Yinqi was indeed a generous soul. In addition to contributing the Dark Snake Energy, Yin Serpent Blade Technique, and Great Wolf Fist Technique manuals to Lu Haikong, he also dropped a Warrior Soul Stone.
The effectiveness of the Warrior Soul Stone could be seen in Li Xiong, who was instantly boosted from a Strength of forty to sixty-nine. The results were simply mind-blowing. More importantly, this item could only drop from foes with a Strength of seventy or higher, and it seemed that more effort was required to make it drop. After all, neither Hu YinQi nor the former leader, both with a Strength of seventy, had dropped a Warrior Soul Stone for Lu HaiKong.
When Lu HaiKong saw the Warrior Soul Stone, his eyes lit up, and he quickly put it away.
Lu HaiKong was a bit biased. This was a valuable item, and he planned to choose one person from among the dynasty members like Ma Han to cultivate using the Dark Snake Energy and Yin Serpent Blade Technique. Once their Strength reached sixty-nine, he would use the Warrior Soul Stone on them, quickly creating a powerful subordinate with a Strength of seventy.
Since Lu HaiKong had first examined the loot from Hu YinQi, and this guy had directly dropped a Warrior Soul Stone, he lost interest in the remaining items.
After all, the rest were mostly drops from 'minions' with Strengths in the forties or fifties, and nothing particularly valuable came from them. After a quick look, Lu HaiKong gave Zhao Hu an advanced Inner Strength Technique and then had Li Xiong put away the rest.
Then, Lu HaiKong washed his hands and focused, almost wishing to pray to the gods, as he prepared to open two Bronze Chests.
To be honest, Lu HaiKong had already opened three chests: one Silver and two Bronze. The Silver Chest had been very generous, directly yielding a Summoning Talisman, which even more incredibly summoned Dian Wei. This was the reason he had a great interest in opening chests.
However, while his interest was piqued, his luck seemed to have run out after the Silver Chest. He opened two more chests with no significant rewards: one contained forty books, and the other, even more disappointing, yielded a Bandit Chief Certification.
But men are naturally drawn to things with a gambling element. Despite knowing that he might not get anything good, Lu HaiKong still found joy in opening chests.
After some preparation, Lu HaiKong brought out the chest from Hu YinQi. Although the two chests looked identical, Lu HaiKong was convinced that the chest from the foe he had fought so hard would have a higher chance of containing good items. So, he saved the best for last.
After some nervous rubbing of his hands, Lu HaiKong opened the chest. A gentle light shone, and the chest disappeared, leaving a book on the ground.
Seeing this, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but frown. This was even worse than the previous time, which at least had forty books. This time, there was just one. However, when he picked up the book, he realized it seemed a bit different.

When Lu HaiKong read the title and description of the book, he felt a mix of frustration and a sense that he might have stumbled upon a stroke of luck...
