The fight between Jason and the tribe chief was slowly growing intense, and both knew that they wouldn't be able to win against their opponent easily.
Or at least it seemed like this, in the beginning.
Yet, contrary to the tribe chief's expectations that Jason wouldn't be strong enough to keep fighting with him, and that the fight would be heavily one-sided, Jason was giving him a really tough time.
In the end, the tribe chief wanted Jason to win, but earlier, he hadn't expected the young man to stand a chance against the other tribe chiefs. It was because of this that the tribe chief had to figure out Jason's strengths and weaknesses.
Jason may have a good heart and a distinct determination that astonished the tribe chief.
However, even that shouldn't be able to bridge the vast gap of strength between a Cultivator of the Peak Prismar stage and a Cultivator with a cultivation base at the peak of the Prismar stage's first threshold.
