Chapter 9: The Forest Dwarf

  Original Wu

  "Go die." A loud shout echoed through the valley.

  All he saw was Du Fei holding a long sword stabbing into the belly of a wild boar covered in blood.

  "Ah......" The wild boar let out a loud cry as it was stabbed by the long sword, and it frantically ran around in all directions. Du Fei saw the crazed wild boar charging around and bumping into things, while Xiao Hei hid behind a large tree, not daring to come out. After a short while, the wild boar collapsed onto the ground due to excessive blood loss, still struggling and panting heavily on the ground. Du Fei carefully approached the wild boar as it lay motionless on the ground.

  Only to see the wild boar staring at him with both eyes, but without any strength to get up and attack Du Fei. Du Fei held a long sword and slashed it towards the wild boar's neck, the wild boar let out a few dull hums, convulsed for a moment before completely losing its vitality.

  Du Fei finally relaxed and let out a long sigh, sitting on the ground with a smile spreading across his face.

  "Xiao Hei, we finally got rid of this guy! Luckily the trap we set worked, or else we'd probably be the ones who got taken down. This big fella can feed us for half a month at least, hahaha..." Du Fei looked at Xiao Hei with excitement.

  "Woof woof..." Xiaohai responded.

  It's been almost half a year since Du Fei left Jin Ye Tian. In this half year, Du Fei has grown up a lot because in this forest, wild beasts roam around and Du Fei will encounter life-threatening dangers at any time. Every day, Du Fei and Xiao Hei have to face various ferocious beast attacks, and sometimes they even have to actively kill some beasts to fill their stomachs. Due to the high-intensity training and vigilance every day, Du Fei's height has increased by more than half a head compared to half a year ago. Because of frequent fighting, Du Fei's original clothes were long torn apart by those wild beasts, and now he only uses a piece of animal skin to wrap around his lower body, with the rest of his body exposed in the air. The soles of his feet have also been worn out, and his skin has turned into a dark bronze color. His physique has become much stronger, and the muscle lines all over his body are clearly visible. Although his muscles are not well-developed, they are very lean and strong. Du Fei's face has also matured a lot, not because of physical development, but because the hardships he experienced in this half year have made him more determined and resilient. The childishness on his face has faded away, making him look like a 15 or 16-year-old boy, just like a little wild man from the forest. The image of that young master has completely disappeared.

  Du Fei pointed at the wild boar's corpse with his finger, and with a "whoosh" sound, the wild boar's corpse was sucked into the container. Du Fei patted his hands in satisfaction, whistled, and went to the cave with Xiao Hei.

  Because of the frequent beast attacks, the current cave has been equipped with a wooden gate by Du Fei to defend against it. Some mechanisms have also been installed around it to prevent beast attacks. The interior of the cave has also been tidied up by Du Fei, and it still looks like home. Du Fei returned to the cave and lay down on the bed, stretching his body. It's clear that the fight earlier had left him a bit tired.

  "In five more days I'll be twelve years old, and then I can start cultivating to become a Yuan Master. It's really hard to wait." Du Fei said excitedly.

  Du Fei sat up on the bed, flexed his muscles and exclaimed: "Haha, look at my muscles! I'm a strong little boy!" Ha... yo... hey...

  For more than half a year, Du Fei had already read through the Revelation and was quite familiar with and understood the Controlling Yuan Master. He also knew why his father had him start practicing Controlling Yuan Master when he was twelve years old.

  Originally, this Book of Revelation was the Jin family's secret recipe that had been passed down for generations. It recorded the cultivation methods and best timing summarized by many ancestors of the Jin family. After years of summarization, it was discovered that twelve years old is the best time to start cultivating and controlling Yuan Shi. This is because the heaven and earth go through a major cycle every twelve years, and humans need to go through several cycles in their lifetime. The beginning stage of each major cycle is the fastest time for learning things. Since newborn babies cannot learn how to cultivate Qi, the next starting point was chosen, which is at the age of twelve.

  Moreover, the Jin family is a relatively special family because there will be gold elements in their bloodline, and every generation will have a high concentration of gold elements. If they become Yuan masters, people from the Jin family are at least Yuan masters of gold elements, so the origin of their surname is also due to this. Gold element is one of the basic elements, but it seems special compared to other basic elements. Although not as precious as special elements, in most people, the proportion of gold elements is much smaller than that of other basic elements. The gold element can strengthen the human skeleton, enhance muscle groups, and make the body tall and strong. Compared to ordinary people, they are much healthier and stronger. That's why Du Fei, a twelve-year-old kid, has grown to about 1.7 meters tall now. If an ordinary person has a high concentration of gold elements but does not meet the conditions for becoming a Yuan master, their body will still be more excellent than that of ordinary people. Those muscular and statuesque people are often those with excessive gold elements in their bodies.

  However, the greatest shortcoming of the gold element is that it cannot be manufactured in large quantities like other elements. Not only does manufacturing consume a lot of energy, but the amount of gold element produced is also very small, and can only control some natural gold elements. However, natural gold elements are extremely rare, and compared to basic elements, they are like a drop in the ocean. Therefore, the gold element has a somewhat awkward feeling, and many gold element controllers can only use physical training as a way to cultivate the gold element.

  However, the Jin family had a set of martial arts specifically tailored to the characteristics of the Golden Element - the Golden Fowl Demon Transformation. This set of martial arts was extremely difficult to cultivate, and in the entire history of the Jin family, there were no more than ten people who successfully cultivated it. The Jin family stood tall on the mainland for thousands of years, yet not even ten people had succeeded in cultivating this technique, which showed just how difficult it was to master. Those who did manage to cultivate it rarely used it in front of others, and few people on the mainland knew about this set of martial arts.

  The Jin family was not only unique in their martial arts, but they were also the most prestigious family on the mainland. The reason for this was simple: the Jin family was the number one casting family on the mainland. Among the Yuan Masters, the profession of Casting Master was a noble and wealthy occupation. A Casting Master was essentially an ironworker, but not just any ordinary ironworker - they were master craftsmen who could forge top-grade equipment and weapons.

  To become a Casting Master, one had to meet very strict conditions: they had to be a Yuan Master with both the Golden and Fire elements present in their body. In other words, a Casting Master was a Heavenly Craftsman, which showed just how rare they were. However, when Du Fei saw his father's name on the records of famous historical figures in the Apocalypse, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride and his confidence soared. Jin Ye Tian was not only a rare genius among the Jin family's clan leaders but had also successfully cultivated the Golden Fowl Demon Transformation at a young age. He was not only a Heavenly Craftsman but also a renowned Master Artisan, and these honors seemed to be shining brightly on Du Fei's own head, making him feel as if he were floating on air. He began to dream of becoming a legendary figure in his own right...

  There are still five days left before Du Fei can start cultivating. First, he needs to see if he has the possibility of becoming a Kontrolle Master. However, he believes that he will definitely be able to do it, because as the saying goes: "A tiger father has no dog son." His own father is so powerful, and as his son, even if he is not good enough, he should at least be able to meet the conditions of becoming a Kontrolle Master. Du Fei has never doubted this. He thought that the worst possible outcome for himself would be to become only a first-class Kontrolle Master. At that time, he would just have to work hard to practice his family's secret technique - Fumo Golden Vajra Transformation. Looking at the history of the entire family, there were no more than ten people who had successfully cultivated it. Although he knew it was extremely difficult, he still wanted to try. After all, the book only said it was difficult, but not that it couldn't be practiced. He believed that even if he was stupid, he would find a way. If he wasn't a first-class Kontrolle Master, but rather a Tianhang or an even rarer Tianhangshi, then that would be the best result. The golden jade pendant left by his father, Jin Ye Tian, contained many techniques and secret methods, including some sacred-level techniques and martial arts. There were all sorts of elemental martial arts among them. At that time, he could choose whatever he wanted. Thinking about this made Du Fei's mood more and more anxious. He wished he could have lived a few years less in exchange for these few days of waiting. However, after thinking about it, Du Fei still had to wait. The principle that "impatience can't eat hot tofu" was something Du Fei understood.

  Before practicing, some necessary preparations are still needed. What if a wild beast suddenly appears at the critical moment and ruins one's own good deeds? At that time, even if one regrets it, it will be too late. Now Du Fei puts aside all distractions and makes preparations for this final moment.

  Du Fei spent three days checking the mechanisms and traps around the entrance, strengthening many of them, and even reinforced the door several times. He also took out some weapons from his father's collection and installed them in these mechanisms and traps, just in case he was disturbed by outsiders at a critical moment. Everything was ready, all that was needed was the east wind.

  On the sixth day, when the first ray of sunlight bathed in this vast forest, a slender young man closed his eyes and quietly felt the warmth brought by the morning sun, as if his father was gently caressing him when he was still in his swaddling clothes. A faint smile appeared on Du Fei's face, and his eyes slowly opened to look at the distant sunrise: "It has finally come..."
