In the Eastern Divine Continent, amidst the Great Wasteland Mountains, lies the Iron Forest Tribe.
"Wake up..."
The gentle voice carried an indescribable chill.
The boy, who had been sleeping deeply on a pile of hay, was as if doused with a bucket of icy water, suddenly jolted awake and opened his eyes.
The golden light of the rising sun filtered through the gaps in the thatched roof, forming beams of light.
The rough and simple pigsty was divided into patches of varying brightness by the light, creating a particularly layered and textured space.
The girl standing against the light seemed to be draped in a magnificent golden brocade, exuding an indescribable elegance and grace.
Her beautiful face, shrouded in shadow, had a subtle expression. The rich and layered light and dark added a touch of mystery and ethereality to her.
The girl's presence made the dirty and foul-smelling pigsty look like a beautiful painting.
Even the black pig sleeping nearby seemed to become adorable.
However, the thin boy paid no attention to the girl. His attention was entirely drawn to the black cornbread in her hand.
The black cornbread, rough and unappealing, emitted a fragrance of food that stimulated Gao Zhengyang's stomach, causing it to involuntarily contract.
This body was only fifteen years old, a time of rapid growth. Combined with the fact that he hadn't eaten anything the previous day, he was so hungry that his whole body felt weak.
The boy felt that he could eat the black pig next to him whole, leaving no bones behind.
No matter how ugly the black cornbread was, at this moment, it surpassed all other beautiful things in the world.
The boy stared intently at the cornbread, his dim eyes not blinking. If it weren't for a bit of restraint, he would have reached out to grab it.
The girl slowly squatted down, placed the black cornbread in the boy's hand, and moved with grace and lightness.
Her bright eyes, with their clear black and white, held a gaze as calm and gentle as water.
The boy, driven by hunger, didn't look at the girl. He took the black cornbread and bit into it fiercely.
The rough and hard cornbread almost choked him. Fortunately, his body was already accustomed to this kind of food, and saliva quickly secreted in his mouth, helping him swallow the food.
However, the black cornbread was too dry and rough. He learned from his mistake and took small bites.
After thorough chewing, the coarse black rice released a faint sweetness.
This was the worst food the boy had ever eaten, but also the most fragrant and delicious.
The boy believed he would never forget the taste of this black cornbread.
While the boy was fully focused on eating the cornbread, a hint of indescribable sadness flashed in the girl's bright eyes. She said nothing, turned around quietly, and left the pigsty.
"Silently you depart, just as silently you came, waving your sleeve, leaving behind a cornbread..."
Watching the girl's back as she left, the boy's dim and dull eyes immediately became lively. He recited a twisted poem with a strange expression.
Yue Qingsnow, the most important girl in the boy's original memories, no longer held much significance for him.
Because he was no longer the original foolish boy.
The boy's appearance hadn't changed, but his original soul had shattered and dissipated in yesterday's thunderstorm.
Now, the one controlling his body was a soul that had crossed over from Earth.
On Earth, everyone called him the Invincible Diamond, the strongest warrior in the military, the invincible soldier king.
After a night's sleep, the Invincible Diamond's soul, which had crossed through time and space, had completely fused with this body and absorbed the boy's original memories.
In this primitive world, his original name and identity no longer held any meaning. He naturally inherited the boy's name: Gao Zhengyang.
The reborn Gao Zhengyang wasn't ungrateful; he still thanked Yue Qingsnow in his heart.
His teasing was more of a self-mockery about his current situation.
The Invincible Diamond, who had once been invincible, had changed bodies, but he still possessed the pride of a strong man, an unbreakable will, and a free and unrestrained personality.
It was these qualities that made him unique and irreplaceable, whether he was called the Invincible Diamond or Gao Zhengyang. Names were just symbols; what truly mattered was the essence of a person.
Because of these qualities, he easily accepted his new identity. How he became this way wasn't important; what mattered was that he was still alive.
As soon as Yue Qingsnow left, a black and fat boy ran in.
"How many times have I told you, the cornbread is for me! You fool, how dare you steal it!"
Seeing the cornbread that had been mostly eaten, the fat boy's face twisted with anger. He cursed loudly, grabbed Gao Zhengyang's hand, and tried to snatch the cornbread.
Gao Zhengyang, who was enjoying his meal, was truly angry. To fight over a cornbread was too much; he couldn't tolerate it!
Gao Zhengyang had never thought he would get angry over a cornbread.
In his previous life, a rich kid had smashed his million-dollar car to scrap, and he hadn't cared.
An enemy had blown up his home, and he hadn't even frowned.
But this cornbread was different! It was the food he relied on for survival. Although it was hard to eat, he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch it.
Gao Zhengyang recognized the fat boy. He was his cousin, the son of his uncle, named Lin Ye.
In fact, this uncle was a distant relative. But no matter who he was, Gao Zhengyang wouldn't be polite.
"Fool, let go of it now!"
Lin Ye, who was much taller and had arms as thick as Gao Zhengyang's thighs, not only pulled Gao Zhengyang off the ground but almost broke his fingers.
Gao Zhengyang sighed inwardly; this body was too weak.
In his previous life, he had relied on his strong alloy bones to crush his enemies.
He never imagined that here, he would be overpowered by a child.
"Wait until my titanium alloy bones reshape, and I'll make you shit your pants!"
Gao Zhengyang secretly vowed and let go of the cornbread. He was a martial arts master and an invincible soldier king, with rich combat experience.
Since he was weaker in strength, he wouldn't engage in a direct confrontation.
Lin Ye, having snatched the cornbread, couldn't help but feel smug. Just as he was about to give the fool a lesson, he saw Gao Zhengyang raise his hand and strike towards his eyes.
"Ah!" Lin Ye, surprised that the fool would dare to hit him, quickly turned his head to avoid it and raised his hand to block.
In the Iron Forest Tribe, everyone practiced martial arts. Although Lin Ye was young, he was strong and had good boxing skills.
Reacting instinctively to the sudden attack, his body made the correct response before his mind could catch up.
Gao Zhengyang's body was weak and slow, but his mind was that of a powerful martial arts master.
Even if he wasn't familiar with the martial arts of this world, the basic principles of close combat were determined by the human body.
Lin Ye, being young, couldn't have superhuman strength beyond his physical limits. So, as soon as Lin Ye's shoulder moved, Gao Zhengyang had already predicted his next move.
At such close range, with Gao Zhengyang's deliberate sneak attack, he couldn't miss.
His wrist flicked slightly, and his fingertips, like a whip, struck Lin Ye's eyes first.
He used a bit of the short-range power from Wing Chun and the shaking force from Tai Chi spear.
Although his body was weak, his method of exerting force was extremely sophisticated, and his movements were quick and hidden.
If he had used full strength, he could have blinded both of Lin Ye's eyes.
Even so, Lin Ye couldn't bear it. He felt a burning pain in his eyes and couldn't see anything.
He didn't dare to open his eyes, terrified, and opened his mouth to scream.
Gao Zhengyang was prepared. He reached out and forcefully pushed Lin Ye's chin, forcing his mouth shut.
This move was quick and sudden. Lin Ye couldn't make a sound, and his upper and lower teeth suddenly clamped down, biting his own tongue.
The tongue is very delicate, and the pain made Lin Ye hiss and draw in cold air, but he couldn't scream.
After a while, Lin Ye finally caught his breath. He slowly opened his eyes and glared at Gao Zhengyang, saying, "You bastard, I'll kill you today!"
Because his tongue was bitten, Lin Ye's speech was slurred.
He had never experienced such humiliation. Being bullied by Gao Zhengyang, the fool, was something he couldn't tolerate.
The Great Wasteland Mountains had a harsh environment, and the people there were fierce and valued martial prowess. In his rage, Lin Ye really had the intention to kill Gao Zhengyang.
"It seems you haven't learned your lesson!" Gao Zhengyang smiled slightly and suddenly kicked Lin Ye between the legs.
Gao Zhengyang's kick was sudden and fast. By the time Lin Ye realized the danger, it was too late.
That area was extremely vulnerable. Lin Ye let out a muffled cry, his eyes bulged, his black and fat face turned pale, and he clutched his abdomen, falling to the ground.
The excruciating pain made Lin Ye unable to scream or be angry. He could only lie on the ground and moan softly.
Gao Zhengyang picked up the cornbread that had fallen to the ground, blew off the dust, and enjoyed it.
For him, eating the cornbread was the most important thing. As for Lin Ye, it was nothing.
Lin Ye's mother was a well-known butcher, a fierce and violent woman. But so what!
The difference in perspective and experience made Gao Zhengyang indifferent to these things. What he truly cared about was how to quickly regain his strength.
The Great Wasteland Mountains were not a paradise. It was a place where barbarian tribes roamed and beasts rampaged.
Even a cornbread was something people fought over. This was the result of the environment.
The world here was broader, more mysterious, and more dangerous.
Gao Zhengyang liked it here. He was naturally adventurous, loved to climb to the peak, and pursued the extreme.
It was because of this character that he became the Invincible Diamond, the strongest warrior in the world.
The most critical issue now was that titanium alloy was based on the body. The stronger the body, the more power it could exert.
The fusion of titanium alloy with bones would place a huge burden on the body.
Why was he the only one to survive the initial tests? It wasn't luck; it was because his body and will were the strongest.
In Gao Zhengyang's current state, once the titanium alloy entered the second stage of fusion, he would be finished.
This wasn't a joke.
One reincarnation was already a stroke of luck. Gao Zhengyang didn't think he would have a second chance.
With his foundation as a martial arts master, there were many secret techniques to quickly strengthen the body.
But there was one condition: sufficient material resources. At the very least, he needed to eat well.
But in the Iron Forest Tribe, eating well was an extremely luxurious thing!
Gao Zhengyang swallowed the last bite of cornbread, but his stomach still felt empty, not even half full.
His gaze fell on Lin Ye, who was lying on the ground moaning, and he grinned.
"What are you going to do? Don't you dare! Mom, mom, come and save me..."
Gao Zhengyang's grin was quite eerie, making Lin Ye feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but scream in a shrill voice.
