Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143
Du You was truly speechless now. Was Elsa really following the protagonist template of a novel? Her progress was simply legendary. Compared to Elsa, even he seemed somewhat overshadowed.
Consider Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, both from prominent families in the Asia Alliance, which were renowned clans with abundant resources and predecessors with all the necessary knowledge, always having ample materials.
But those two only became Professionals with a 7-star rating, and it took them a long time just to reach tier four, after which they began accumulating their foundation and saving up advanced skills.
When they broke through to tier four, both of them succeeded in elevating themselves to the level of 8-stars.
But Elsa, she started off at 8-stars and then unbelievably received so much proactive help from others. The extent of the help she received was even greater than that given to Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue. And she didn’t even have to plan anything; everything was voluntarily offered to her, all the advantages laid out in front of her.
After rising to tier four and accepting her family’s legacy, she suddenly had eleven skills advance to tier four and skyrocketed directly to level 47, erasing two thresholds as if they were nothing, saving a vast amount of Crystal Coins.
Now, with Elsa’s swift rise, having eleven advanced skills was highly formidable among Professionals. At her current stage in tier four, there were few who could be her match.
Only those of high-level lineage or possessing powerful skills could possibly contest Elsa.
The last skill was of Constant Level, which, although it couldn’t be advanced, was definitely powerful. After successfully using the Celestial Star Bottle, Elsa even attained a 9-star rating—a rarity within tier four.
This pace and smoothness of her progression made even Du You somewhat envious.
If others knew about this, who knows how disconcerted they would feel.
"Big brother, can you help me out? I really don’t know what to do now."
"Help you? With what? You are now the Saint of the Fox Clan; anything you want to do should be easy," Du You was puzzled, and others were equally surprised—wasn’t she afraid of revealing her identity by asking a human for help?
Elsa was Du You’s follower, which practically made her a semi-slave. The Fox Clan wouldn’t appreciate or tolerate a Saint of that status. Even though the Beastman Clan respected strength above all, Du You’s power was not yet substantial enough to dominate the Beastman Clan. To suppress the Beastman Clan required at least a tier six.
Elsa pouted, "Humph, it’s just those annoying people."
As Elsa recounted her story, Du You began to understand. Elsa was not originally of high status, but her potential and talent had made her one of the candidates. Her potential even pressured the two strongest candidates.
Eventually, those two schemed and sent people to assassinate Elsa. To avoid suspicion, they did not use their direct subordinates or family members to carry out the deed; otherwise, Elsa would never have escaped and met Du You.
After Elsa disappeared, those Saint candidates, wanting to eliminate any future threat, either massacred or exiled Elsa’s family, essentially leaving her with no power within the Fox Clan.
Now, with Elsa’s forceful return and the evidence she held, despite their wrongdoing, they had to refrain from overt opposition, yet they still harbored great dislike for her.
The two families nearly crippled by Elsa were bordering on decline, but they wouldn’t fall immediately as they still had considerable strength. Not all tier four beings were wiped out at once.
With these individuals’ manipulations, Elsa faced tremendous resistance as a Saint and couldn’t even recruit a single follower. The notion of a Saint’s guardian squad became a joke. Moreover, not only did these people resent her, but the other candidates also had a strong aversion towards Elsa. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
While dueling was indeed supported within the Beastman Clan, it really depended on the circumstances.
The choice of Saints was not about selecting Braves, and such methods were too brute. Originally, when the two Saint candidates eliminated Elsa, they didn’t act directly but worked in secrecy, respecting the overt rules.
However, Elsa had broken these rules and even frightened the other candidates into abandoning their ambitions; they couldn’t reconcile with this. Their backers wished death upon Elsa, hoping to replace her and provide an opportunity for their own.
This rough selection method was disapproved not only by them but also by other members of the Fox Clan.
The First Elder, who officiated justice, and the former Saint who had retired, were also dissatisfied with Elsa—not just because of her challenge but also due to her profession.
Elsa was a Saint Fist Master, not a priestess. Historically, the upper class of the Fox People, especially the Saints, had always been potent priestesses. If not for the current Saint’s diminishing vitality, she would definitely have been a tier five. But now, she could only exert the strength of tier four and couldn’t act rashly.
Because of Elsa’s profession, these two figures of the Fox upper class were also reluctant, hence they tacitly allowed certain things to happen within the clan. During the three days Elsa was asleep, she had been, in fact, isolated by her clan members.
This was also why Elsa could run out to her own territory alone without anyone stopping or assisting her. Her current circumstance was indeed peculiar; she didn’t even have a single follower by her side.
Perhaps they all secretly hoped Elsa would die soon. Of course, this was also why Elsa’s process of establishing her territory was kept confidential and why nobody knew about it. After all, without Elsa’s permission, other clan members were not allowed to enter Holy Fox Canyon—a strange rule that had been established at some point.
"Big brother, please help me. It’s really dangerous here; I can’t get out by myself," Elsa implored with a pitiful look, garnering the sympathy of other women around. Du You felt the gaze of others slicing through him like knives, making his skin crawl.
Fed up, Du You surrendered. "Alright, alright, I’ll help you. Don’t worry. If they are dissatisfied, then develop an army and overthrow the Fox Clan. The victor is king; that is your tradition after all."
