Chapter 7

Time always slips away unnoticed, and before they knew it, two years had passed. Little Budi was already three and a half years old and had his own name—Shi Hao.

When he was a little over a year old, he could only follow behind the older kids, but now at three and a half, his physique was astonishingly strong, and he often ran around with a group of older kids.

At that moment, a crowd surrounded an open space in the village, forming a tight circle. The villagers, both young and old, were watching the young people practice martial arts.

A group of children, with well-built muscles and bare upper bodies, were splashing with sweat, competing with each other. Some of them could even swing a hundred-pound copper hammer, creating a whistling wind.

Their ages ranged from six or seven to twelve or thirteen, each one as strong as a small fierce beast in the mountains, with incredible strength and robust bodies.

"Look, that's my kid, only six years old, and he can use a hundred-pound green stone as a shield. How many can match him? He will definitely be a great hero in the Great Wilderness in the future!"

"My kid is even more impressive. Look, he can fully draw a rhinoceros sinew bow that only adults can usually pull. He will definitely be able to shoot powerful beasts and kill adult pixiu in the future."

Although the villagers were simple, they liked to praise their children and compare them. After comparing, some of the strong men clenched their big hands into fists, waving them excitedly.

The women in the village also smiled broadly. These children were truly outstanding, each one full of energy and strength. The village of Shi would surely become strong because of them.

"Moo..."

A wild ox bellowed, shaking the village.

"Look, Er Meng is only eight and a half, and he actually flipped a wild ox. Amazing!"

In the field, a large, dark-green wild ox, shiny like silk, roared like thunder. But just as it went wild, it was thrown to the ground by a not-so-tall child, causing a wave of amazement.

"Finally, the hard work of the elders has paid off. They have been giving the children the blood of fierce beasts and bone-strengthening medicines to train their bodies, and it has made a big difference."

"The children are all very strong. In the future, some of them might really become great heroes, defeating the powerful ancient species deep in the mountains."

With a loud "thud," a very thin child threw a stone millstone, which flew over ten meters away.

"Wow, Pi Hou is about eight or nine, looks so thin, but has such great strength. You can't judge a person by their appearance."

"Exactly, who do you think his father is? I named him Shi Zhonghou. He will leave the mountains in the future and become a king in a famous and prosperous tribe."

The adult men boasted about their children, all feeling that their kids were extraordinary.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and dust rose. Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene. Someone was about to lift a tripod!

In the center of the open space was a bronze tripod, weighing over a thousand pounds, with patterns of flying birds and beasts, exuding an ancient aura. The tripod's walls were thick, giving it a heavy and majestic feel. The tripod legs, often grabbed by people, were smooth like mirrors, with a vermilion bird pattern engraved on them.

"Xiao Shi Jiao can't do it. He almost hurt his waist, only lifting the tripod off the ground. You're still too young; you won't be able to lift it for four more years," an adult teased.

A thousand-pound bronze tripod was not to be handled carelessly, as it could injure oneself. Generally, children couldn't lift it and were not allowed to approach it due to its weight.

"I'll give it a try!"

A very strong child stepped forward, about twelve or thirteen years old. He grabbed one of the tripod's handles and one of its legs with both hands, exerted all his strength, and the tripod was lifted off the ground, but it fell back with a loud "thud," raising a cloud of dust.

Clearly, he failed, but fortunately, the child was not injured.

"I'll try!"

Another child stepped forward, the one who had just flipped the wild ox. His name was Shi Meng, the second in his family, nicknamed Er Meng. He was indeed very strong and sturdy, but he was only eight and a half years old.

With a "hum," the bronze tripod was lifted off the ground and gradually raised into the air, shocking everyone. This was still a child, and he had managed to do this, which was truly astonishing.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, he couldn't lift it over his head. His arms were trembling, and with a loud "thud," he threw it, creating a pit in the ground, with sand and dust flying.

After someone took the lead, the other children also wanted to try. One by one, they stepped forward to lift the tripod, but no one succeeded.

Until a child with thick eyebrows and a large build stepped forward. His name was Shi Dazhuang. He took a deep breath, grabbed one of the tripod's handles and one of its legs, and lifted it quickly over his head.

His arms were slightly trembling, and his legs were shaking, but he succeeded, leaving the adults amazed. After all, he was only nine years old, truly a born prodigy!

"Great job, Dazhuang! He will definitely be something in the future!"

"He's only nine years old. I think within a few thousand miles, there are few who can match him. He will definitely be one of the strongest in this area in the future!"

The adults naturally didn't hesitate to praise him. They also encouraged and praised Er Meng, who had almost succeeded and had astonishing strength.

The elders smiled, feeling that their efforts over the years had not been in vain. They often used the blood of fierce beasts to train these children, and now the results were showing. In the future, the village of Shi would definitely produce some great heroes.

"Little Budi, you're peeking. Do you want to try too?" an adult teased.

In the crowd, a small child was curiously looking around. It was Little Budi, now named Shi Hao. He was very small and had to stand on tiptoe to see the older children lifting the tripod.

"Right, everyone says Shi Hao has astonishing strength. Although he's a bit young, let him try. Don't lift the tripod; try the stone lock first."

Someone nodded. "My kid says Shi Hao is as strong as them. I never believed it, but now is a good time to see."

Shi Hao was three and a half years old, with black hair down to his shoulders, big, bright eyes, and a fair, beautiful face.

Little Budi looked at the elders, who all smiled. Shi Yunfeng said, "Go ahead, I want to see how strong you are now."

"Ya!" Shi Hao, being very small, made a childish sound when he exerted his strength, but he easily picked up a large stone roller.

"Really impressive!" everyone nodded.

Then, he grabbed a stone millstone and threw it with a "whoosh." The heavy stone flew like a regular stone, landing over sixty meters away.

"Boom!" The stone millstone hit the ground, creating a large pit, with sand and dust flying, and the ground shaking violently.

Everyone was stunned, speechless.

Next, Little Budi suddenly ran to the large, dark-green wild ox, quickly exerted his strength, grabbed one of its horns, and threw it to the ground.

Although he used a lot of skill, it still showed how astonishing his strength was. The crowd gasped, feeling like they were seeing a small fierce beast in action, a visual impact.

After all, Shi Hao was still very young, the shortest in the crowd, looking like a porcelain doll, hard to associate with such strength.

In the shocked gazes of the crowd, Shi Hao walked to the tripod. Due to his height, he couldn't grab the handles, so he squatted down and supported the bottom of the tripod. With a sudden exertion of strength, "thud," the bronze tripod was lifted off the ground and raised over his head.

Everyone was stunned, almost unable to believe what they saw. A three and a half-year-old child could lift a thousand-pound tripod, which was truly astonishing.

What was this? It was like the child of a golden-winged great roc or the offspring of a pure-blooded pixiu king. Shi Hao was comparable to a true ancient fierce beast's offspring!
