As the sun rose, the dawn glowing, dew with rosy clouds spread through Liu Village, accompanied by the innocent sound of boys and girls' laughter, illustrating the lively vitality of youth.

In the central square.

Dozens of young boys and girls were strengthening their bodies in the morning glow, becoming healthier, full of vitality. They each were sweating profusely, practicing ardently.

The birth of the sun was the best time for cultivation in the day. The body would unconsciously absorb a trace of the Power of the Sun from the air, making body tempering extraordinarily effective during this period.

As for the elderly, they found a comfortable corner to bask in the sunlight, looking at the village's bustling activity with pleasant smiles.

Their vitality had dried up, and they still had some lingering diseases within them, so they were no longer suitable for intense exercise. Basking in the sun every day was already enough.

The adult men in the village were rhythmically training their bodies nearby. They, led by Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, and others, were bare-chested, revealing their bronze skin, continuously swinging various weapons in their hands. Although they didn't have any particular method, each strike was full of power, emphasizing speed, precision, and aggressiveness.

Whoever had the fastest and most ruthless attack would have the greatest chance of survival in the Great Wilderness. As for those fancy movements, they were not what these men sought. Facing terrifying beasts and ferocious birds, the more showy the moves, the faster one tended to die.

After the morning classes, it was time to learn the Treasured Techniques.

Originally, there was only the Ferocious Ape Secret Art, but now they also had the Jiao Snake Secret Art.

Lin Xm Tong had been in charge of teaching the Ferocious Ape Secret Art. Although she was young, she was the most thorough in her studies and had hands-on experience, which made her teaching very effective.

Compared to the Ferocious Ape Body Treasure Technique, the rune on the Jiao Snake was undoubtedly more complicated and multiple. The entire Treasured Bone had only one rune, glowing brightly, changing constantly with every breath.

This secret art was exceptional, according to the display on the runes, if cultivated to perfection, the Rune Spear could even pierce a hole through the sky, its power was unpredictable.

However, if one wanted to cultivate this secret art, the precondition was to know and embed in the heart all the changing forms of the rune, until one was incredibly familiar with it.

If one couldn't even memorize the runes, how could they cultivate? Understanding and memorizing every rune was the prerequisite for cultivating any secret art!

However, complicated and obscure runes, were not just a challenge for a group of stubborn and naive children, but even the adults might find it hard to keep up with it.

Many people in the Great Wilderness did not recognize runes.

Indeed, within moments, many children's brows furrowed into an 'M' shape, all looking upset.

Such devilish symbols were just too difficult to learn, which made their heads ache, and the initial fascination vanished in a blink.

In a short time, they felt as if a year had passed. These children began to miss their carefree times. Many daring children had quietly slipped out to urinate or play in the mud, but they were soon caught and brought back by their parents.

"My child is too much, skipping class, going fishing with a group of people by the river. And they didn't even use fishing bait, just like his father. Yet he claims all day that he's a fishing expert. I'm better than him at fishing if I do it!"

In the afternoon, the parents of the naughty children gathered together. "Isn't everyone's child like this? Look at Gui Fang's son, De Quan. He's not only obedient, he's also very industrious. At a young age, he's already achieved some results in the practice of the Treasured Technique.

Except for a few like Captain Lin, he's almost become the top of our village. He can even hunt fierce beasts like tigers and leopards. The village chief values that little guy highly. Whatever good stuff there is always goes first to him, then to the little rabbits of our family!!"

"Ah…"

The moment Tu Dequan was mentioned, the previously animated discussion stopped abruptly.

Those are other people's children!

"These rascals, leave them be for three days and they'll climb the roof, we need to assign a few people to keep an eye on them."

In the end…

These increasingly indignant, teeth-gritting parents reached a consensus. After collective discussion, they decided to leave one or two individuals each day to take turns keeping an eye on the little hooligans.

These little devils need to learn about the harshness of the world!

"May I ask you ladies, is the Treasured Technique recently obtained in the village really that great? My Dog Egg also often skips class, kids will be kids, right? They are inherently playful!"

A somewhat formidable-looking woman expressed her confusion.

She had injured herself by accident not too long ago, breaking her leg, and thus didn't grasp some recent events because she was only just recovering. Her husband couldn't be bothered to fill her in on everything either.

"Great? It's more than just great. That Treasured Technique is from a ferocious beast hunted by Captain Lin himself. Isn't my man part of the village's hunting team? He heard from Captain Lin that this technique is a formidable offensive skill. Even just a beginner can hunt ferocious beasts like lions and tigers.

If someone achieves a small amount of success, they could even hunt ferocious beasts, tch tch tch, listen to that, isn't that astounding? Who else in our village could do that? If one completes the training, won't they immediately become an influential figure in the village?!"

Someone in the crowd immediately replied.

The robust woman stared for a moment without speaking and directly walked toward a tree's shade. She picked up a kid, who was entirely covered in black and currently playing in the mud, her anger bubbling up.

Dog Egg, if your mother catches you sneaking out again, believe it or not, I'll break your rascal's leg."

He s squandering such a valuable opportunity to learn the Treasured Technique. He's simply asking for a beating!

Speaking of the "heartbreaking experience" of the children in Liu Village. Over the next period of time, Lin Zhuang and the others went deeper into the Great Wilderness yet again.

There were dozens of age-appropriate children in the village, and they needed more Beast Blood than could be provided by a single Jiao Snake.

With their prior experience, Lin Zhuang and his team were undoubtedly more skilled.

Their blood was vigorous, and their bodies possessed a strength of tens of thousands of pounds. A few punches could easily kill any normal ferocious beast.

Even stronger beasts were manageable as long as they were not too abnormal, they could handle them when working together.

In a short time, the makeshift warehouse behind Liu Village was crammed with beast carcasses, turning the surrounding land even more fertile.

However, the blood only seeped into the top layer of the soil. The part that permeated the underground soil was completely absorbed by Jiang Hui's roots.

The nutrients provided by the beast blood, especially Ferocious Beast Blood, acted as quality fertilizer for Jiang Hui. Even though it hadn't evolved in this duration, its size was growing rapidly each day. It was now nearly 1,000 meters tall, standing out prominently compared to the surrounding ancient trees.
