That bright red fruit is incredibly precious. Even in the Wilderness, it’s extremely rare. Each piece is worth a fortune, and only the exceptionally gifted individuals of a clan like the Kyiin Child could afford to consume it.

In contrast, Tu Dequan’s achievements today have all come from his own hard labor.

Despite being merely a seven or eight-year-old boy, who in most regions would still be undergoing an early education, this little one could already manage things on his own.

Apart from a few members of the Lin family, he is practically the ruler of the village, unmatched among his peers. Even fully grown adults can’t compare. At such a young age he can already hunt lions, tigers, and other fierce creatures on his own. Aside from Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, and Lin Xin Tong, no one could restrain him. His ferocity was comparable to that of a beast cub.

“In a few years’ time, this brat might just reach perfection in body refining and become the third person in the village to achieve this, while still being only a teenager!”

Jiang Hui sighed with some anticipation.

The grander the other party’s achievements, the more experience points he would gain, especially since this was a slow and steady type, a natural mobile experience bank.

Besides his slight achievements in body tempering, Tu Dequan also made remarkable progress in the field of Treasured Techniques.

Although the Body of Thick Earth is best suited for the Temper Body Method, it still ranks as one of the three thousand physique types, ranking as high as one hundred and eighth.

The most important thing is that the Treasured Technique that Liu Village obtained was a sophisticated body technique that was particularly compatible with Tu Dequan. Even at his young age, he has almost caught up with Lin Xin Tong, and has emerged as the village’s top prodigy.

The villagers naturally noticed the little guy’s incredible abilities. Old man Lin exclaimed more than once that if he hadn’t watched him grow from infancy to his present age, he would’ve suspected that the boy was the offspring of an Ancient Fierce Beast. It was simply outrageous how a child of such a young age could lift a giant stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds and how incredibly sturdy his physique was, as if he were made of iron.

At the summit of the mountain.

After the conclusion of the offering ceremony, old man Lin and the able men of the village poured the boiling Beast Blood around the roots of Jiang Hui’s tree. The blood made the soil even more strikingly red, as if something unusual was brewing within.

Not daring to linger, everyone departed the mountain once all things were taken care of, led by old man Lin.

He would’ve liked to stay longer, but the oppressive presence of the three Bronze Giants around him was too terrifying, especially their gaze that blazed like errupting volcanoes, which never left him. Despite knowing these were the protectors of Liu Village, old man Lin still felt somewhat unsettled.

In the blink of an eye, life swiftly returned to normal.

Every day, the elder clan leader of the native tribe would step out of his house and regale the village youngsters with tales and legends of the Wilderness. And whenever he came to an exciting part, he could make the children gasp in amazement.

Jiang Hui listened with great interest. Although almost everything was hearsay, it nevertheless helped him gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Wilderness.

“This old man would really be wasting his talent if he were not a storyteller.” One day.

As usual.

Jiang Hui was alert, his Five Senses enveloping everything around him, and he was listening intently to the elder clan leader of the native tribe, discoursing on the past and present.

A skinny but robust figure caught his attention.

It was Tu Dequan. He excused himself from the noisy cluster of children around the elder clan leader and then turned to walk towards where Old man Lin was positioned.

Jiang Hui was intrigued.

“Grandfather, I wish to venture into the depths of the Great Wilderness.”

Tu Dequan found Old man Lin after crossing several corners and asked seriously even though he was only a boy of eight or nine.

Practitioners of the Earth’s Body matured early. Although Tu Dequan was still a young boy, his intellect was not inferior to an adult’s.

“Tu Wa Zi, why would you want to go into the Great Wilderness out of the blue? You’re still young, you can wait until you’re older. The Great Wilderness is a dangerous place full of dangerous beasts,” Old man Lin, who was tinkering with his newly-invented bow and arrow, shook his hand and replied.

In their village, Tu Dequan was a rare talented boy. He had to be well looked after before he fully matured.

As for Little Eight Lin, the girl from the past had completely grown into a woman and her power was daunting. As the strongest woman in Liu Village, she didn’t need him to look after her.

“Grandfather, aren’t Brother Zhuang, Brother Chen, and Sister Xin Tong all going? Can’t I go with them?”

Tu Dequan scratched his head. He wanted to witness the ferocious beasts that Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen had spoken of, and also get a firsthand experience of the exceptional aura in the depths of the Great Wilderness.

“Dad, why don’t you let Tu Wa tag along with us? This little fella might seem young, but he’s formidable. Hardly anyone in the village can defeat him, and with us brothers and Little Eight watching over him, nothing should go wrong!”

At some point, Lin Zhuang had entered the room. He carried a One-horned Elephant tusk that weighed at least a thousand pounds on his back and had an air of a fierce beast around him. Before Old man Lin could speak, he interjected. “Well, Grandfather, with Brother Zhuang and Brother Chen and Sister Xin Tong around, I promise I’ll be fine when I come back! What’s more, haven’t you always said that only through real combat can we identify our shortcomings and deficiencies, improve our fighting skills, and truly become a genuine man?”

Tu Dequan’s eyes lit up and he eagerly chimed in.

Practitioners of the Earth’s Body mature early and are candid, but they can also be quick-witted.

“You cunning little devil, okay then, your grandpa here allows you to venture into the wilderness.”

Old man Lin pondered for a moment before finally nodding.

Elder brother, you better keep an eye on him during this trip. If Tu Wa comes back missing even a single hair, I’ll skin you alive.”

Old man Lin glanced at Lin Zhuang and warned him as he turned around.

“Dad, aren’t you being a bit too harsh on me, your own son?”

Lin Zhuang winced.

“So are you agreeing or not?”

“Agreed, whatever you say.”

Lin Zhuang chuckled bitterly and nodded. Naturally, there was no reason for him to deny.

Besides, not to mention that their abilities had improved since the last time, this time even Little Eight was accompanying them.

In a few short years, the little girl who would hide behind them to wipe her nose had grown into an intimidating figure whom they had to look up to.

With the duo, Little Eight, and their fifth brother Lin Rui, they figured as long as they didn’t encounter any potent beasts, they could manage without any protector, even if it was just the four of them.

“So he wants to venture into the Wilderness.” Jiang Hui paid attention to the conversation between Tu Dequan and Old man Lin. Every word spoken fell into his ears.

After levelling up to level five, his Five Senses had also been greatly enhanced. When fully engaged, the range was more than twice as large as before.

In addition, Jiang Hui’s observational ability had also been strengthened greatly. It was more meticulous now. If he wanted, he could see even a speck of dust in the air clearly..
