Chapter 9 Everyone Has Superhuman Physique
Chapter 9 Everyone Has Superhuman Physique
Young Ge and Jiang Luoluo were not the first people to arrive at Xiaoshishan. When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen boys and girls around ten years old there.
They each surrounded a rock, either punching and kicking it with their bare hands, or trying to lift up the larger rocks that were taller than themselves.
This wasn't particularly outrageous, but what made Jiang Luoluo's eyes widen was that as the children punched, cracks actually appeared on the stone, and pieces of stone fell off.
And the boy, who was slightly shorter than the person next to him, actually managed to lift that huge rock that was taller than a person!
That wasn't all. After lifting the stone, he didn't put it down. Instead, he started running around the entire stone square in that position.
Is this the kind of power a ten-year-old child could have?
Feeling the wind whipped up by the boy running past her, Jiang Luoluo tugged at the arm of the young man, Ge, in a daze.
"Does Luo want to come too?" Mistaking the cub's expression for envy, the young man Ge led her to a half-person-high rock where no one was around before she could shake her head in rebuttal.
Young Ge clenched his fist and with a powerful blow, split the half-person-high rock into several pieces, seemingly no more difficult than splitting a watermelon.
After carefully selecting a stone, young Ge quickly picked it up—just the right size for the cub to hold—and placed it in the cub's arms. "Here, Luo, play with it."
Jiang Luoluo looked down at the heavy stone in her arms, which weighed at least several dozen kilograms if not a hundred, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes were full of doubt: Play?
Running around carrying a rock that weighs at least tens of kilograms, was it all just for fun?
Most importantly, how could a six-year-old child possibly lift such a large rock?
Something's not right with this world!
He found a corner spot for the cub and watched as it obediently hugged the stone. Only then did young Ge move a little further away and come to the largest stone in the area to begin "training".
Compared to the other children's casual movements, young Ge's movements were more structured, incorporating certain techniques and body shapes. Moreover, his primary goal was not to destroy the stones, but rather to train his proficiency in punches and kicks.
Some children around were secretly trying to learn from young Ge's movements, but they were only halfway through when a middle-aged tribesman who had just arrived scolded them and told them to stop.
"What are you guys stealing! These are techniques that can only be used after transforming into a beast. Go away, go away, go play somewhere else."
From the other children, Jiang Luoluo learned that the middle-aged tribesman was named He. He was originally a beastman warrior in the tribe. He lost an arm in a hunt, and after recovering, he took charge of teaching and training the children at Little Stone Mountain.
They are considered to be the management and education personnel of Xiaoshishan.
"Ge, why didn't you go to Big Stone Mountain for training today? Why did you come to Little Stone Mountain instead?" Brown greeted the young Ge.
Children in the tribe, once they reach the age of ten, will come to Little Stone Mountain to study and train until they are fifteen or sixteen. Under the witness of the fire, their orc bloodline will be awakened, and they will become true orc warriors.
By then, we should go to the Big Stone Mountain and train with the adults.
Jiang Luoluo knew that the young man Ge had chosen to train at Xiaoshishan because of her. She had just heard the children next to her say that Dashishan was near a forest and wild animals often roamed there.
Although the orc warriors training on the Great Stone Mountain all felt that it was a free treat, young Ge didn't dare to let Jiang Luoluo face such danger.
Go didn't hide the reason and told him about his worries about the cub. He looked at the small figure in the corner and shook his head. "But Go, you are already a powerful orc warrior. Little Stone Mountain can't let you fight with your full strength. You can only grow stronger in Great Stone Mountain."
"Moreover," Brown pointed to the children beside him and said bluntly, "Ge, you will affect them. They can't practice those combat skills with you yet."
Young Ge stopped what he was doing, realizing the trouble he had caused. He looked guilty but didn't say anything to defend himself.
Brown sighed. "Alright, let Luo stay here today. I'll keep an eye on her. You go train at Dashi Mountain."
Young Ge glanced at the cub with concern, but knew it was the best choice. He thanked He and told Jiang Luoluo to stay and listen to He, saying he would come to pick her up when it was time to eat.
Jiang Luoluo nodded, watching the young man leave with several glances back. She then returned to that corner and watched the children in the stone square playing around, throwing stones taller than a person back and forth.
To be honest, this scene is a bit scary at first glance, but as you watch it, it becomes quite interesting.
The children in the tribe don't get along very harmoniously and lovingly; instead, there's a simple and brutal "survival of the fittest" mentality.
They would determine the ownership of each stone based on its strength, and the largest stone would belong to the child king, who was recognized by all the children.
How do you distinguish between strong and weak? It's very simple: in a fight, the one who lies on the ground and can't get up is the weak one, and the one who is still standing at the end is the strong one.
When young Ge was there, he occupied the largest stone in the center, and no children went to fight with him for it. But as soon as young Ge left, they immediately started fighting over who owned the stone.
As the person in charge of management and education, Brown showed no reaction to this, and even seemed to be pleased with it—this should also be part of the tribal education.
Only children who grow up through constant fighting can become powerful orc warriors.
Jiang Luoluo soon discovered another thing: the children's recovery ability was just too strong. They were beaten hard on the ground, their faces covered in blood, but after resting on the ground for a while, they got up, wiped their faces, and were completely fine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but touch her neck. She remembered that in the early hours of the morning, because of the pain from the poison, she had scratched her neck raw.
When she touched it now, there were only a few slightly raised scars, and she didn't feel any pain at all... In fact, it was already like this when she woke up in the morning.
Is this a tribe where everyone has superhuman abilities?
"Alright, stop playing now and learn the boxing stances and moves with me. This is the foundation for learning combat skills, so study hard and don't be lazy!" After the children had all taken their pieces of stone, He finally spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.
Although Brown was missing an arm and couldn't personally demonstrate and teach, the children present weren't learning for the first time, and they all skillfully assumed the postures.
It gave Jiang Luoluo a sense of déjà vu, like the time she spent doing morning exercises in school.
