Chapter 352 - 353: One Against Two
The opponent’s pillar, thick as a roof beam, was hard not to notice. With his hulking frame, the muscles under his clothes bulged remarkably; thus, when he carried such a huge pillar, there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
"To think he’s a Totem Envoy, we must be careful." Mu Can did not recognize the pillar, but that didn’t mean Xu Liang was unfamiliar with it.
The Mortal World was vast, and there always existed some isolated races. The Totem Clan was a special tribe within the Mortal World. The Totem Clan had a sparse population and seldom wandered out. However, every member of the Totem Clan who walked in the Mortal World was an outstanding descendant of their generation.
Xu Liang had also come to know of the Totem Clan’s existence by chance. Although Mu Can surely knew much more about the Mortal World than Xu Liang, he had never heard of this Totem Clan.
"What’s a Totem Envoy?" Not understanding, one must ask. Although Mu Can was confident about overcoming any enemy he faced, encountering an entirely unfamiliar opponent warranted some understanding.
"A Totem Envoy is a messenger of the Totem Clan. Anyone who can leave the Totem Clan can be called a Totem Envoy." Seeing Mu Can asking him, Xu Liang hurriedly explained, secretly relieved that although he was not as strong as Mu Can, he still knew some of the Mortal World’s more secretive secrets.
Thanks to Xu Liang’s explanation, Mu Can now understood what was going on with the robust man carrying the enormous totem pole.
It turned out that the Totem Clan’s Cultivation method, compared to the Cultivation practices of the Mortal World, was a system unto its own. All of their Cultivation was contained within the huge Totem Pole they carried on their backs. Every Totem Clan member, upon reaching the age of eight, would travel to their ancestral land to find their respective Totem Pole.
Their Cultivation process was the process of nurturing the Totem Poles. During this process, all the Spiritual Energy they cultivated would enter the Totem Pole without reservation, and then the Totem Pole would nourish them back in a miraculous way. This meant that the Spiritual Power they cultivated had to be processed by the Totem Pole. However, an important point to note is that the Spiritual Power nourished back from the Totem Pole could only strengthen the physical body, which is why the Totem Clan member Mu Can saw was as robust as a Little Giant.
