The first Dragon's Nest Tribe Sports Meet was a resounding success. In a world lacking entertainment, the event stirred up a great wave within the tens of thousands in the tribe, deeply impacting every Beastman's heart.
Enjoying lively events is a common trait, and Beastmen are no exception.
Without previous entertainment activities, this opportunity became a floodgate for excitement, which poured out with fervor.
Even the less popular events like high jump and long jump, which Austin thought might be met with indifference, were warmly welcomed by the Beastmen. As for the marathons, tug-of-war, and solo arena challenges, the intense competitions fueled the Beastmen's enthusiasm, with cheers and shouts echoing aloud.
For several days, the entire Dragon's Nest Tribe was engulfed in an extreme atmosphere of fervor during the sports meet.
Austin also relished the intense feelings reminiscent of sports meets from his previous life, making him feel as if he had returned there. His minds, previously tightly wound, were relaxed over these few days.
Having traversed to this world for several years, developing to this stage wasn't easy; only Austin himself truly understood the hardships involved. This sports meet alleviated many worries in his heart.
This sports meet was organized rather hastily, and there were frequent accidents and injuries among the Beastman participants. Fortunately, with sufficient Snake Shedding Grass to produce potions, minor injuries weren't a serious issue.
Thus, the first sports meet managed to proceed smoothly.
Several days later, the first sports meet of the Dragon's Nest Tribe concluded grandly.
This grand event not only significantly sparked the upward spirit of the Dragon Nest Beastmen but also greatly solidified their cohesion.
Austin could clearly feel that after the sports meet, the atmosphere of the entire Dragon's Nest Tribe changed significantly.
This made Austin consider whether to organize another sports meet at some point in the future, including setting up some challenge events suited for the Extraordinary Beastmen.
With this idea in mind, Austin naturally planned to build this event into a grand celebration similar to the Olympics in his previous life.
However, no matter what he thought, the next event would not happen in the near future.
The Olympics in his previous life were held every four years; the Dragon's Nest Sports Meet should at least be every five years.
With the conclusion of the sports meet, the Dragon's Nest Tribe gradually returned to its normal life trajectory. However, in their leisure time, Beastmen had much more to talk about.
Stories naturally emerged about which warrior jumped the highest, who won first in the solo challenges, and who had the honor of a personal audience with His Highness Austin as a reward, spreading as gossip naturally does.
This sports meet, arguably the first of its kind in the Otherworld, was destined to be widely circulated among the Beastmen, and its aftershocks would linger long until the next meet overshadowed it.
And this was a good thing, as the adjustment brought by the sports meet at least made the Beastmen work harder in their training.
Time flew by, and more than a month of the cold winter had passed.
With the conclusion of the sports meet, outstanding Beastmen were selected for transformation, with selections finalized after the cold winter.
However, these selected, soon-to-break-through-the-ordinary-band Extraordinary Beastman Seeds had to undergo a period of tough training.
The sports meet's initial purpose was to select stronger Beastmen as seeds for transforming into Dragon Vein Beastmen.
To start from a higher point during the transformation period and not have them idle during the long cold winter, these chosen Extraordinary Beastman Seeds began arduous training.
The current training was several times harsher than usual military training, with a significantly increased workload, as all of it was in preparation for successfully activating the Extraordinary Seed.
The training wasn't short. It would last until the end of winter when spring revitalized the Forest Land, and the anticipated emergence of a large number of game could support the increased number of Extraordinary Beastmen in the Dragon's Nest Tribe, at which point their training might conclude, entering the stage of modification personally overseen by Austin.
With the start of the training, the Dragon's Nest Tribe also gradually returned to its routine and stable atmosphere.
Until the tribe fully recovered from the sports meet's excitement and settled into various routine production and training work, Austin also began to ready himself, planning to complete a research project that would significantly enhance the strength of the Extraordinary Beastmen.
That was the Magic Modification of the Navy Six Techniques.
Among the Beastman Officers in the Dragon's Nest Tribe, the so-called Beastman Six Techniques consisted of only four techniques Austin had modified and developed: Shunpo, Fright, Iron Block, and Gale Wave.
These four techniques were created by Austin, utilizing the principles of the Navy Six Techniques from fantasy novels of his previous life, after adapting them through magical modifications suitable for this world.
However, due to various reasons, Austin only managed to develop four of a complete set of the Navy Six Techniques, leaving Finger Gun and Paper Drawing not modified.
Finger Gun wasn't developed because the close-combat attack method of stabbing with fingers wasn't very practical compared to using a sword. Thus, Austin hadn't planned to develop it in the first place.
As for Paper Drawing, its function is similar to Iron Block, both being defensive techniques. The former is an evasive technique, while the latter is a brute-force approach.
The principle of Paper Drawing, when understood in reality, resembles techniques like hearing wind to determine position. However, such precise operations are somewhat challenging for the hard-headed Beastmen, so Austin didn't attempt it.
Nevertheless, as Austin's strength increased, his vision expanded significantly.
Not long ago, during the development of the Magic Power Rasengan, Austin pondered whether he could supplement the Beastmen's hand-to-hand combat capabilities by developing a Fighting Qi Rasengan, adding a powerful close-combat technique for the Beastman Officers.
If successful, the combination of Shunpo + Rasengan would deal severe damage to Gold Level Great Warriors, should they be caught off guard.
Subsequently, by dividing his own Magic Power, Austin honed an extremely refined Magic Power control ability, extending strands of Magic Power through the world, enveloping the entire spatial region to form a Domain prototype.
Through developing the Domain prototype, Austin had a sudden idea: could Beastmen integrate their Fighting Qi with the external air to achieve the effect of Paper Drawing or even beyond, reaching capabilities similar to Observation-style Dominance?
With the idea formed, Austin, somewhat possessing a perfectionist streak, naturally wanted to complete the Beastman Six Techniques.
Moreover, once the Six Techniques took shape, Dragon Vein Beastmen's power would see a significant boost.
Thus, after a brief rest post-sports meet, Austin gathered most of the Beastman Officers and Junior Officers to attempt the development of the Fighting Qi Rasengan and a Fighting Qi version of Paper Drawing.
