Shi Yan fell silent. Once again, the world rejected him.“You'd better leave before we force you to!” One of the men raised his stick threateningly.Shi Yan clenched his fists. The fire within him was still churning, but this time… he did not want to fight.He was too tired.Without saying anything, he turned around and walked away, leaving the village lights behind him.The night grew deeper, and the cold slowly crept across Shi Yan's dirty skin. The only choice left to him was the vast forest stretching out before him.Only the forest…The only place that would not drive him away.Or perhaps it would also become the path to his death.Shi Yan stepped into the darkness, the wet leaves beneath his feet making faint sounds with every step he took.From afar, the sounds of nocturnal animals could be heard faintly. Owls hooted, branches creaked, and among the towering trees, dark shadows moved silently.But Shi Yan did not care.He was already too tired to be afraid.His stomach was empt

Although the three wolves were still considered young wolves, their bodies were still much larger than Shi Yan, who was only five years old. The difference in strength was like an adult surrounding a toddler. Their sharp fangs, powerful claws, and green eyes filled with hunting instincts would make anyone tremble in fear, especially a little boy who had never even left his village before that day.Shi Yan stood frozen in place. His breathing was becoming irregular. His small legs felt weak, but he knew that if he showed fear, the wolves would become even bolder.His young mind continued working desperately.He tried to remember what had happened the previous night when the fire appeared and burned the rabbit. But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.Meanwhile, the three wolves slowly moved forward, forming a circle.They were in no hurry.In the eyes of these hunters, the small prey before them had nowhere left to run.Shi Yan mustered his courage and raised both

“Little boy, listen carefully. The energy currently gathered inside your dantian is already far too much for the body of a five-year-old child. You have never even learned how to control energy, yet somehow, that energy continues gathering on its own. If you do not learn to control it soon, the energy will become increasingly dense and continue pressing against your dantian. Based on your current condition, I estimate that you have less than a year. After that, your dantian may no longer be able to contain it, and the accumulated energy will explode from within your body. When that happens, your body will not be able to withstand it. You could be severely injured, lose all of your strength, or even die instantly.”The old man raised his hand.Then he snapped his fingers.“Imagine it like this. If a container continues to be filled with water without ever being emptied, eventually the container will reach its limit. And when the pressure can no longer be contained, only one thing will

Shi Yan finally jumped out of the water. Whoosh! His small body was lifted into the air. The crocodile lunged out after him. Its teeth gleamed under the sunlight. Shi Yan stared at the enormous mouth in terror. Without realizing it, the hot energy within his body appeared once again. Red flames gathered in his palm. Shi Yan had no time to think. He simply swung his hand as though he were slapping something. Bang! The burst of energy struck the crocodile's head. Its massive body was sent flying backward. The crocodile was thrown several meters before finally falling back into the river. Splash! Water splashed high into the air once again. The crocodile immediately disappeared beneath the water. Shi Yan himself fell back down. Splash! He sank for a moment before finally swimming toward the riverbank with all his strength. Once he reached the shore, he immediately crawled onto the ground. His breathing was ragged. His entire body was soaked. He did not even have th

Shi Yan finally reached the peak.Thud!He immediately dropped himself beside his Master.His breathing was ragged.His chest rose and fell rapidly.Without saying anything, his hand immediately reached for a cooked chicken thigh.The chicken thigh was even larger than his arm.Yet strangely, Shi Yan had no trouble lifting it at all.He bit into it greedily.“Master, I'm really hungry. I don't care what you're going to teach me later. Right now, I just want to eat until I'm full. If you're going to make me climb a mountain like this again tomorrow, at least prepare more food. I don't want to climb while starving like I did earlier.”The old man did not answer.He simply ate his own food while occasionally glancing at Shi Yan.Night passed.---The next morning.The sunlight slowly illuminated the mountain peak.Shi Yan opened his eyes inside a small cave.He walked out and saw his Master sitting at the edge of the mountain, gazing toward the horizon.Shi Yan walked over and sat beside
