Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 320: Confidence
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "You have passed the first hurdle from the ninth level to the tenth level. If you practice well, you will be able to restore these stone pillars in the near future. When you truly reach the tenth level, you will have even more magical powers. By that time, restoring these stone pillars will be a piece of cake for you. However, whether you have a chance to reach the tenth level depends on your own understanding."

"Huh?" Tie Hongyan subconsciously looked around - there was no one else at the moment.

She had no idea where the sound was coming from, and it felt as if the source of the sound was right inside her ears.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" Tie Hongyan asked again tentatively, "May I ask who you are, Senior?"

However, no matter what she said, there was no response and the voice did not appear again.

Tie Hongyan gradually moved away from where the stone pillar was.

At this time, two soldiers who survived the battle of Hunju walked by dejectedly and did not notice Tie Hongyan.

The one with a big scar on his face looked up by chance and saw the fallen stone pillars. He asked curiously, "Why did the stone pillars fall like this?"

The other person didn't even look at the stone pillar. He lowered his head and said casually: "It's not just the stone pillar that has fallen! The Tiecang tribe is about to fall!"

"Let's not talk about this. Look, the stone pillar is broken! What happened?" said the man with a scar on his face.

The other person slowly raised his head and looked at the stone pillars.

At this time Tie Hongyan had already approached them.

"Young Patriarch!" said the person who looked at the stone pillar from behind.

"Young Patriarch, look at those stone pillars..." said the man with the scar on his face. Tie Hongyan first looked at the man with the scar on his face and said, "I know."

The man with the scar on his face was not surprised at all when he saw Tie Hongyan. Instead, he thought it was abnormal. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Tie Hongyan say to the man without the scar on his face, "Did you just say that the Tiecang tribe is about to fall?"

The one without a scar on his face hesitated, neither admitting nor denying it immediately.

"Whether you admit it or not, I heard it. The Tiecang Army was defeated last time, so you haven't been able to cheer up yet?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Young Chief, I said something wrong!" The scarless man admitted. But he was thinking: You are just a young chief in name only, why are you showing off in front of me? The Tiecang tribe is about to fall, and the so-called young chief will soon cease to exist. He can only show off for a few more days while he can still be the young chief in name only.

Tie Hongyan could tell from his expression that he was saying one thing and thinking another, so he continued to ask, "Do you really think so?"

"Yes." The man without a scar on his face responded disdainfully.

Tie Hongyan seemed to see that he was somewhat disdainful of her, but she didn't care about it. She just felt that the despair in his eyes was truly terrifying. She looked at the man with the scar on his face and felt that there was no hope in his eyes either, so she said to the two of them, "What's more terrifying than losing territory is losing confidence."

The scarred man continued, "Young Patriarch, you should also know that confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It must be based on strength. You lost your territory first, then you lost your confidence. If you can't even keep your territory, how can you keep your confidence?"

Tie Hongyan shook his head slightly and said: "The territory can be lost and regained, which requires strength. But confidence is not directly determined by strength. Confidence can be given to yourself!"
