The Owl Clan’s Little Beastmen were not many, with a tribe of nearly ten thousand individuals, those under the age of ten didn’t even number two hundred.
Among these two hundred Little Beastmen, about thirty could cultivate Witch Power.
Moreover, Gu Shengyin discovered something, that the more physically frail Beastmen, such as those from the Deer Tribe and the Cat Tribe, generally had a more likely presence of innate Witch Power compared to the physically robust Beast Race.
Just like the Tiger Clan and the Lion Tribe, these Beastmen were born suited to be powerful warriors, which in turn made them unsuitable for cultivating Witch Power.
After examining the situation of the Little Beastmen, on a day dedicated to the tribe’s rest and worship, Gu Shengyin announced her findings.
She read out the names one by one, stirring excitement among the Beastmen below.
By the time she finished reading the thirty names, the Owl Clan was boiling with excitement!
They had originally thought that having five or six Little Beastmen in their clan capable of cultivating Witch Power was already formidable, as this meant that one day, there might be five or six Priests in the Beast Race.
But the High Priest claimed there were thirty!
Thirty Priests, just the thought of it made the Beastmen’s blood boil with excitement.
Gu Shengyin looked at their reactions, knowing in her heart the words she had spoken earlier, yet clearly they had not fully grasped her meaning.
Though she had said that the Owl Clan would become the most powerful tribe, their thinking was still fixed on the tribal level.
Only truly powerful strength could foster greater ambitions within them.
She announced that for a long time into the future, these thirty Little Beastmen would study alongside her.
As for the other Beastmen and Little Beastmen, she did not forsake them either.
Instead, she handed the Clan Leader of the Owl Clan a thick parchment.
The parchment detailed in simple Beast Race script and lifelike diagrams how the Beastmen should proceed.
"Following these methods, you guys could potentially become stronger than Priests!" Gu Shengyin asserted loudly.
This statement was largely to encourage those warriors, as without the ability to cultivate Witch Power and relying solely on physical training, it was hard to achieve significant accomplishments.
Unless one had great perseverance, wisdom, and an extraordinary opportunity.
Thinking of this, Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but cast her gaze toward Ovis among the group of Male Beasts.
This was her lover, yet now she chose not to recognize him.
Without power strong enough to dominate the entire clan, one could not hope to be accepted as a partner to the most revered High Priest of the Owl Clan.
Beastmen from the surrounding tribes noticed that the Owl Clan had become mysteriously secretive recently.
Usually, it was common to see them during daytime hunting, sometimes even clashing with other Beastmen over prey.
But now, the hunting time of the Owl Clan’s Beastmen seemed significantly reduced during the day, and sometimes, if both parties went after the same prey, the Owl Clan’s Beastmen, if in a good mood, would even yield to them.
Many tribes found this strange, and even tried to secretly probe the situation.
But how could the current Owl Clan let them succeed? The High Priest had said that everything the Beast God told her was highly confidential, and must not be disclosed to outsiders for a short period, lest they face the severest of punishments.
Tamon, as the leader of the tribe, also understood the importance of these matters, even making every Beastman take an oath before the Beast God never to let this information slip.
The Male Beasts of the Owl Clan truly had no time to spare.
They hunted as quickly as possible during the day to gather the tribe’s food supply and return home early to practice what the High Priest had taught them.
Time was the most precious commodity.
This was the lesson the High Priest imparted to them.
