Chapter 9

Far away, powerful people were speculating about the sudden appearance of the life star, wondering about its origin and what it represented.

At this moment, Wu finally slowly came to his senses. His hand still rested on Fang Luoya’s brow, but he slowly raised his head, looking in a certain direction as if sensing something;

Until he saw that shining star...

His mouth, which had just closed after regaining his senses, opened again in a shocked exclamation, and he stood there, dumbfounded...

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

"Wu... Wu..."

Seeing Wu’s seemingly overly agitated appearance, Mu Yong, who was standing beside him, hesitated for a moment before finally calling out softly.

Hearing Mu Yong’s shout, Wu suddenly came to his senses, lowered his head, and looked at Fang Luoya again;

He had thought that the star of destiny would help him determine the location of the other’s life star, thus confirming where the other came from, and ensuring that the other truly belonged to his tribe from then on;

But he never expected the result to be even more shocking than he had imagined...

Looking at Fang Luoya’s eyes, which had just opened, and those eyes that were now as pure as morning stars, Wu’s face alternated between light and dark as he quietly observed for a long time. Finally, amidst the unease of the crowd, he revealed a faint smile.

Then, he reached out and gently patted Fang Luoya’s shoulder, as if making an extremely important decision, and turned to look at the tribal members who were all looking at him with shock and doubt, saying in a deep voice, "The initiation ceremony is successful. I hereby announce that from today on, Fang Luoya will officially become a member of our Danya tribe!"

Hearing Wu’s words, the tribal members all cheered;

And Mu Yong, who was standing beside him, rushed forward, grabbed the two drumsticks, and began to beat the drum excitedly.

While beating the drum, he shouted loudly, "Hey, hey!"

Feeling Mu Yong’s intense and excited drumming and shouting, the other tribal members were quickly infected and began to clap their hands, stomp their feet, and form a formation around Fang Luoya and Wu, cheering and dancing the special celebratory war dance of the Wu clan.

Amidst the excited "hey, hey" shouts, Fang Luoya, who had been standing quietly looking at the sky, suddenly smiled slightly and then joined the crowd, celebrating wholeheartedly.

Celebrating his new life and new beginning!

After a long time, the celebration ended, and Fang Luoya, feeling a bit tired, returned to his room and lay down on the bed, not completely asleep.

From today on, he was truly a part of this world and this family. From today on, he would start to work hard for this family, striving to survive in this world.

Listening to the faint insect chirping outside the house and the rustling of leaves in the night breeze, in a daze, Fang Luoya felt these sounds gradually fade away, and he gradually fell into a strange state.

In this dazed state, he faintly felt a warm and cool, faint current in his lower abdomen, and this faint current was slowly dispersing into streams flowing downward; this current should be the Wu power...

This subtle current, after passing through the perineum, slowly moved up along the spine, passed through the cervical vertebrae and the top of the head, and then turned to the forehead, passed through the philtrum, and went down the chest, rejoining the lower abdomen dan tian;

This cycle continued endlessly, and wherever this current flowed, it would release more subtle breaths that spread to other parts of the body;

These subtle breaths then dissipated into the surrounding muscles and bones...

Moreover, Fang Luoya could faintly feel that this internal current was in a cycle with the external environment.

There was a faint, continuous flow of cool breath from the surrounding environment, entering his body through his breathing, joining the internal cycle, and gradually strengthening the current.

At this moment, Fang Luoya finally felt the strange resonance between himself and the world, as if he had truly integrated into this environment, feeling natural and close.

However, Fang Luoya was slightly puzzled. Didn’t Mu Yong say that after the initiation ceremony, one wouldn’t feel anything special, and wouldn’t sense Wu power until reaching the realm of transcending the ordinary? Why could he feel it?

Thinking about this, Fang Luoya soon fell into a deep sleep...

Apart from Wu, no one knew what abnormal situation had occurred during the initiation ceremony.

However, all the tribal members received Wu’s strict order that no one was to discuss or reveal what had happened during the initiation ceremony to outsiders.

The people did not find this unusual, as Fang Luoya was an outsider and had never been initiated before, and being initiated at his age was different from the usual, which seemed normal.

Fang Luoya, having completed the initiation, became an official member of the tribe. The next morning, he was woken up by Mu Yong.

"Luoya... You have completed the initiation, but your body is too weak. You need to exercise and become a real man..."

"A real man..." Looking at Mu Yong’s frightening muscles, Fang Luoya couldn’t help but shiver.

Yun Ling, with her eyes like a crescent moon, full of hope and excitement, said, "Brother Luoya, you must work hard and become a strong man like Father!"

However, regardless of anything, Fang Luoya was sent to Uncle Gang, to train with the other boys and learn physical training.

Looking at the group of boys, who were eight to nine years younger to two or three years older than him, Fang Luoya sighed lightly and stood obediently in front of Uncle Gang.

"Here?"

Seeing Fang Luoya come over, Uncle Gang nodded and then threw a wooden spear at him.

Fang Luoya was slightly stunned but instinctively reached out and caught the wooden spear.

Seeing Fang Luoya’s action, Uncle Gang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your reaction speed is still acceptable!"

"Um..." At this moment, Fang Luoya was still a bit dazed, but he was also surprised that his reaction speed seemed to be much faster than before;

"Come... Use the wooden spear in your hand and attack me with all your strength!" Uncle Gang continued in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Knowing that Uncle Gang was preparing to test him, Fang Luoya did not hesitate, gripped the wooden spear tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and thrust it at Uncle Gang.

Although he had never fought or practiced martial arts before, he had seen enough to know how to use a stick to hit someone.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Fang Luoya used all his strength, the wooden spear moving so densely that he stabbed, slashed, and swept at Uncle Gang, using every move he could think of, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

He could clearly feel that after the so-called "initiation," his physical abilities had significantly improved.

Whether it was reaction, speed, or strength, he was far superior to his former self.

At least, Fang Luoya felt that in the past, he would never have been able to perform such a clean and crisp spear technique... no, gun technique...

"Ah..." Just as Fang Luoya was feeling satisfied with his spear technique, he heard Uncle Gang’s sigh of frustration. Before he could react, he felt his hand lighten, and the wooden spear was already taken by Uncle Gang, who had been dodging his attacks.

"Your reaction and speed are barely acceptable, but your technique is completely unstructured, and your accuracy and strength are extremely lacking..."

Uncle Gang looked at Fang Luoya expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Starting today, you will practice basic spear techniques with them..."

"With them?" Fang Luoya looked at the group of boys, aged seven to thirteen, and felt a bit embarrassed.

Standing among a group of much younger boys, practicing spear techniques one by one, Fang Luoya felt his face heat up.

But he knew that, in reality, he was indeed not as good as these ten-year-old boys. At least, their strength, direction, and accuracy in using the spear were far beyond his.

Although these were the simplest things, Fang Luoya knew that they were the foundation for his survival in this world.

All the men in the tribe had to go out hunting, becoming hunters to provide for the tribe. He would inevitably have to take this step, and mastering these skills was essential for increasing his chances of survival.

Fang Luoya followed Uncle Gang’s instructions, practicing spear techniques one by one with the other boys, not daring to slack off at all.

Beside him, a group of teenagers around fifteen or sixteen, who were practicing sparring with short sticks, occasionally burst into laughter at the sight of Fang Luoya standing out in the crowd.

Hearing their laughter, Fang Luoya’s face grew even hotter, but he did not let his mind wander, focusing entirely on the direction and strength of his spear thrusts, and making corrections.

Seeing Fang Luoya’s serious attitude, Uncle Gang nodded slowly and then looked at the group of teenagers, saying coldly, "What are you laughing at? Everyone, focus! Whoever loses today will stay and practice for an extra half hour!"

"Ah..." Hearing Uncle Gang’s words, the teenagers groaned in frustration but dared not protest. They all gritted their teeth and began to attack their opponents with all their might.
