The book had a thick, reddish-yellow cover. Fang Yun, curious about the existence of the book, slowly stood up and carefully lifted the wooden floor.As his hand reached out to grab the book, he suddenly felt a sharp pain and a burning sensation, as if he had been bitten by some kind of animal.Even though the pain was still lingering, he stubbornly pried open the wooden floor, determined to take the book and uncover what had caused the sting in his hand.Fang Yun’s eyes widened in shock when he saw a small snake, about the size of a pinky finger and no longer than the span of two hands, coiled beside the book. The snake was bright red.Fang Yun quickly grabbed a nearby stick to drive the snake away. But when he turned back to the spot where the snake had been, he was startled to see that it had vanished.The boy, of average build and ordinary looks, glanced around, searching for the snake he believed had bitten him.However, no matter how long he searched, he could not find any trace

As the most talented fighter in Lufeng Village, it should have been easy for Chong Li to defeat Fang Yun, who only relied on physical strength. However, in reality, Chong Li found it quite difficult to bring Fang Yun down. Even though his attacks had landed several times on the young man’s body, it seemed to cause no serious problem at all. In fact, when their punches or kicks collided, it was Chong Li who grimaced in pain.Not wanting to be humiliated in front of his friends, Chong Li decided to use his inner energy to attack Fang Yun. The result was immediate—Fang Yun was sent flying when Chong Li’s spinning kick landed on his head.Fang Yun’s vision instantly blurred. Everything spun around him, and eventually, he collapsed and lost consciousness.“Hahaha… anyone who dares to mess with me will surely face disaster!” Chong Li shouted arrogantly.Chong Li’s four friends also laughed loudly when they saw that Fang Yun had passed out.Not long after, Chong Li invited his friends to lea

For the villagers of Lufeng, the ravine was considered extremely haunted. Many people had disappeared, swallowed by the mysterious ravine, and no one ever dared to venture to its depths."That boy fell into the ravine. Let's go back!" shouted one of the men who had been chasing Fang Yun."He must be dead by now!" replied another man.The two bandits then ran back to Lufeng, which had already become a scene of massacre and rape by their group.Meanwhile, Fang Yun's body continued to fall until it hit the bottom of the ravine hard. The unfortunate young man's body no longer moved. Whether he was dead or simply unconscious was unclear.The next day, an old man with a short body and long, unkempt hair walked towards Fang Yun’s unconscious body lying face down. Dried blood was visible coming from the boy’s mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.The old man examined Fang Yun’s condition and noticed a large open wound on his back. He then checked the boy's left wrist to see if he was still alive or al

The longer Fang Yun stared at the small torch, the larger its flame seemed to grow. He eventually stopped watching it and lay back down to sleep.A beam of soft morning sunlight slipped into the cave. Fang Yun rose from his sleep, stretching to loosen his limbs. He yawned widely, then walked out toward the river.Humming a little tune, Fang Yun soaked in the shallow stream for quite some time. “What a shame there are no fish in this river,” he thought.After bathing, Fang Yun quickly picked some ripe bananas from a tree, brought them back to the cave, and placed them on the floor.While waiting for Fei Hung to wake up, Fang Yun opened the Fire God Technique Manual and turned to the chapter about channeling the Fire God’s inner energy.The 16-year-old carefully studied every line written on the page. He read it repeatedly, trying to memorize it so that later he could practice more smoothly.“So it requires several stages to fully master it,” he murmured.“Yaaawn!”Fei Hung yawned loudl

A moment later, the two of them arrived at a place shaped like a basin, but it was incredibly vast. Inside the basin, lava burned fiercely, thick smoke billowing endlessly into the sky.“Do you see that rock over there?” Fei Hung pointed.Fang Yun saw a circular stone—not very large, just enough for one person to stand on.“What about that rock, Grandpa?”“Go there and eat the rock!” Fei Hung snapped irritably.“Alright, Grandpa. I’ll jump over there and take the rock,” Fang Yun answered innocently. He got ready to leap but was immediately stopped by Fei Hung.“You’re not exactly stupid, but you’re definitely not smart either. Do you want all your teeth to fall out from trying to eat a rock?”Fang Yun chuckled. “Who would want to eat that rock? I just thought I’d bring it over for you. Maybe you’re craving rocks.”“Ooh… you silly rascal! This is not the time for jokes!”“Well, you started it, Grandpa. Make up your mind!” Fang Yun replied casually.“Oh dear heavens above, why did the F
