“Alright? How could I be fine?” Elder Alfred raised his voice as he tightly grabbed on to Aleta’s arms and said, “You’re truly the genius of our druid race! In fact, many many years ago, before our race had entered the Heaven Forest, the strongest royals of our druid race did not require any hand signs to unleash any skills. However, following the decline of the royalty, the entire druid race migrated into the Heaven Forest, and the method of using our skills without hand signs had been lost. Aleta, I’m so proud of you! You are the genius of our race!”

Aleta was completely stupefied. The elder had previously been to the temple for a pilgrimage and was also the most knowledgeable druid in the entire village. He practically knew of all the legends of druids of the past.

After a moment, Aleta finally recovered from his shock.

Looking at the excited Elder Alfred, Aleta slowly raised his arm and pointed toward Chu Nan. “Elder, the method of using without any hand signs wasn’t thought up by me. It was Mister Chu Nan…”

“What?” Elder Alfred pulled his hand back to cover his chest.

As a weakling of the druid race, Elder Alfred knew that he should always maintain a wise and steady appearance; however, he was incapable of doing so at that moment.

A human Heaven Realm expert with skills that could resurrect the dead. Any one of these two feats could already cause Elder Alfred’s heart to be overwhelmed.

He had always maintained his doubt of Chu Nan’s ability to teach the inheritance of battle skills. However, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that not only did Chu Nan know of , he could even remove the hand sign needed to unleash .

How was that possible? The battle inheritance that was lost even in the royal family had been taught to them by a human! Even though it was merely removing the requirement of completing hand signs for and not some high-levelled battle inheritance, just that alone was sufficiently astonishing.

For goodness sake, he was a human! A human without the blood of druids could not possibly understand the miraculous energy of their bloodline. Moreover, Chu Nan seemed to be a human Heaven Realm magician and not a Heaven Realm warrior. Yet, he had managed to accomplish such feats! Was he still a human? Even their god did not possess such an ability according to the legends! Elder Alfred could only feel the whole world spinning around him.

Looking at the two druids, even Chu Nan was somewhat astonished. Why does Elder Alfred look more shocked than Aleta? Was the method of unleashing without hand signs such a powerful ability?

Chu Nan dryly coughed and took advantage of the fact that both druids were still at a loss. He continued, “Since you’ve learned to transform into your without any hand signs, then let’s not waste any more time. I’ll impart the secrets of . In reality, it is just a method for you to expose the wolf nature buried deep in your bloodline after transforming into a werewolf. Right now, I’ll teach you how to call upon it…”

Both of their brains were still short-circuited, and they nodded in a daze. They no longer doubted Chu Nan’s identity as a Heaven Realm expert. At that moment, if the other druids or barbarians were to doubt his identity, the both of them would definitely support Chu Nan until the very end.

This did not mean that they were idiots, but rather, that the astonishment that Chu Nan brought was too much. Moreover, the method he used to cause their astonishment was rather smart, as he gave it to them one by one without any pause. When in the face of never-ending miracles delivered to them, there was no one who would respond any better than those two.

Aleta’s ears gently shook, and at the same time, stood to attention as he attentively listened to Chu Nan’s explanation.

Elder Alfred’s situation was no better than Aleta’s. As an elder of the druid village, his strength was not weak. He had already reached level ten many years ago, and if not for his increasing age and reduced physical strength, how could the number one expert position be Aleta’s?

At many times, when you aren’t exaggerated enough while bragging, no one will believe you; however, if you were to exaggerate even further, then oftentimes people will tend to believe you more easily.

Wasn’t there a saying that went, ‘when there’s a camel, one shall never stoop to bragging1.’ Chu Nan had brought that saying to greater heights. What’s boasting? What’s blowing camels? He might as well learn from the habits of the races living in the Heaven Forest and learn to blow a dragon!

Chu Nan recited the battle inheritance records like a torrent and occasionally added a few words in-between.

Of course, his words weren’t completely without any basis. When he played in the past, he had seen druid players unleashing their battle inheritance skills.

As Chu Nan continued with his ‘bragging’, the druids felt even more frightened the more they listened. In particular, Elder Alfred frequently revealed a shocked expression.

He had more or less heard of the battle inheritance skills Chu Nan had mentioned, and the effects when unleashed. They were exactly the same as what he had described it as.

So, it turns out there are large groups of druids living in other places? Where are they? It seems like we need to gather information from Chu Nan about their whereabouts, as that might very possibly be the opportunity for druids to rise up once again! Elder Alfred secretly plotted in his heart as his somewhat aged eyes continuously twirled around his eye socket.

After Chu Nan finished talking about the battle inheritance skill, he continued with his bragging speech. At first, there were only a few druids around him, but over time, more and more druids started gathering around him to listen to his bragging.

The Heaven Forest was filled with dangers for the humans in the outside world, so there would rarely be any cases where one would enter without any reason. Moreover, the tribes that resided in the forest would often talk about the dragon race to brag about their strength, but there was no one who knew how to properly brag.

In addition, they thought Chu Nan was a Heaven Realm expert, and no one would have ever imagined that this man standing there with his spittle flying everywhere was talking nonsense.

Be it in reality or inside the game, Chu Nan’s days weren’t considered particularly good, so how could he have had the chance to give a speech in front of hundreds of audiences? When he saw the large audience, his bragging became more energetic, and he straightforwardly narrated the plot of the novel he wrote on a certain platform to entertain these groups of druids.
