Finally, after one week had passed, they entered a village and Genma was
eager to
stop and rest for a while.  He was in decent physical shape, but he could
not
keep up with the pace that Ranma had kept.  Ranma, of course, had the tribe,
and they
took turns walking.  Even though they were in the same body, they  could
still travel
farther on foot than most 'normal' people.  

I don't think the physical body can replenish just by spiritual contact
alone.  The body can't just function forever without rest.  Of course we
are dealing with metaphysics/religion/anime here......

The girl walked up to Ranma and started yelling at him in Chinese.  She
gestured
towards Genma, so Ranma turned around.  There, Genma-Panda was sitting
contentedly
by a table filled with food, or rather, the left overs of a big meal.  Ranma
turned
back towards the girl and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't speak Chinese..."

I thought one of the tribe spoke chinese?

The old woman hopped over to the stunned Ranma and said, "Congratulations
Son-in-Law.
You have defeated my Great Grand-Daughter.  I'm pleased that such a
formidable
fighter will be joining our blood-line."

"Enough of this boy,  I was going to go easy on you.  But it looks like I've
misjudged
you.  You are not worthy of joining my tribe.  You will die."  Cologne said.

Maybe, she was just joking here.... I thought Ranma already passed the
test.

Overall, Ranma is a mystery.  Looking forward for the next part.
