Chapter 143 The 1rd Competition
Feng naturally knew what his son was thinking. He carefully combed his son's hair and chose a set of headdresses made of various jade stones for him. The necklace and bracelet were also made of the finest jade stones. To make his son's complexion look better, Feng used gold and blue pigments to apply makeup to his son.
After getting dressed, Feng looked left and right, but still felt something was missing. His gaze fell on his son's waist, and he immediately knew what was missing.
"Cang, take off your dagger and give it to Ling."
Cang didn't say anything, but silently took off the dagger and handed it to his son.
Feng: "Ling, wear the dagger at your waist; it will make you look more imposing."
Bai Ling was amused by her father's words: "What dignity or not? I'm not the clan leader, what do I need dignity for?"
Wind: "Oh dear, you don't understand. A male doesn't necessarily have to be strong, but he must make the female feel that he is reliable. Majesty represents reliability."
Bai Ling didn't quite understand his father's logic, but he still took the dagger from his father and hung it on his waist.
He also had a dagger, but he didn't cherish it as much as his father did. His father's dagger had a sheath made of animal hide and a carved handle. Because he took care of it every day, there was no dirt on it, making it look very valuable.
Bai Ling hung the dagger at his waist. Chen looked his brother up and down several times, then grinned and said, "Brother, you don't look like you're going to watch a competition, you look like you're going to a wedding."
Bai Ling blushed: "Don't talk nonsense."
Chen nudged her brother's shoulder: "Okay, brother, let's hurry up and go, so we can choose a good spot."

This was also the most lively day of the Chada Conference, with all the orcs who came to participate in the Chada Conference gathering together.
Today we are going to have a competition, which is the most important event of the Chadda Assembly and the highlight of the assembly.
The brave orcs from the surrounding tribes would gather together and compete to determine the bravest orc.
When Yue came of age, he won first place in the competition, which shocked the surrounding tribes. Yue instantly became the most famous orc in the surrounding tribes.
When the Chada Conference was held again the following year, the beastmen who came to watch were all waiting for Yue to appear, but Yue did not participate.
Yue participated in the competition to prove himself. Since he won first place, it proves that he is a very brave and powerful orc, so there is no point in participating again.
Moreover, while first place does bring honor, it also brings trouble to Yue.
At that time, many males pursued him, and even males from other tribes went directly to the Yuanhu tribe to pursue him, which annoyed Yue to no end, and he made up his mind never to participate in the competition again.
He didn't even attend last year's Chada Conference; he stayed in the tribe to guard the house.
This year, Yue will participate in the Chada Tournament again. He not only wants to participate, but also wants to win first place.
He wants to use the honor and prize of first place to do something big.
Bai Ling naturally supported Yue's participation in the competition. He even prepared two bouquets of flowers to cheer him on during the competition.
Yue didn't know what "cheer up" meant, so he asked, "Ling, what does 'cheer up' mean?"
Bai Ling raised and lowered the two bouquets of flowers repeatedly, shouting, "Yue, you're the best! Yue, you're the most amazing! Yue, you're the best! Yue, you're the most amazing!"
There was nothing wrong with what she said, but when Bai Ling held up the bouquet and shouted it out in an enthusiastic tone, Yue's face immediately turned red.
Although he knew Ling meant well and was wholeheartedly cheering him on, Yue still found it hard to accept Ling's exaggerated actions and expressions.
"Moon, is this how it is in that world?" Moon asked.
Aside from Ling's dream, Yue really couldn't think of any other explanation.
Bai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." After thinking for a moment, Bai Ling added, "But their shouts are more enthusiastic."
It's not just enthusiasm; the things people shout to cheer for their idols are downright blatant.
Yue said, "Well, Ling, I can't quite accept this," he tried to make his tone more tactful, "If you shout like that, it will distract me when I'm fighting."
Upon hearing that Yue would be distracted, Bai Ling immediately put down the bouquet she had raised: "Then I won't shout those words anymore. Yue, how can I cheer you on?"
Yue said, "You don't need to do anything, just watch me."
As long as you look at me and see me in your eyes, that's enough to cheer me on.

The competition was divided into two rounds: running and fighting. The first round was running, which involved running from the square of the Great River Tribe to the foot of a mountain.
The distance is neither far nor near; the journey involves crossing rivers, climbing low hills, and traversing forests before finally reaching the foot of the mountain.
The first competition requires participants to use their animal forms. There are both large and small orcs participating. For example, in Bai Ling's High Tree Tribe, there are long-tailed rabbit orcs participating in the competition. Although they can't run as fast as the large orcs, the competition is all about participation. As long as an orc successfully reaches the finish line, they will be warmly welcomed by the other orcs.
Besides the orcs waiting at the finish line, many other orcs will wait in the square of the Great River Tribe. Once the race starts, the large orcs who are not participating will transform into their beast forms, and the smaller orcs who are not fast will jump onto the large orcs and cheer and shout alongside the orcs who are participating.
Therefore, this running contest will result in a very interesting situation: the faster large orcs will follow behind the slower small orcs, with the large orcs howling and roaring incessantly, and the small orcs on its backs also shouting.
Like Bai Ling, most of the people standing at the foot of the mountain were older orcs. The younger orcs loved to join in the fun; they either went to participate in the competition or went to cheer on the orcs participating in the competition.
Standing amidst the bustling crowd, surrounded by the laughter and chatter of the beastmen, Bai Ling felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. He stared intently at the forest ahead, wondering when Yue would appear.
Bai Ling had great confidence in Yue's strength. Since Yue said she could get first place in the competition, she definitely could. He was already imagining in his mind what kind of expression and posture he would use to greet Yue when she rushed out.
Bai Ling thought to herself, "Why don't I make a wreath for Yue with fresh flowers?" But then she changed her mind and rejected the idea. Yue was participating in the competition in her animal form, so if she were to make a wreath for Yue, it would have to be a very, very large one, and Bai Ling was afraid she wouldn't have enough time.
So how will we celebrate the moon's victory?
Bai Ling decided to give Yue a big hug.
