Chapter 5: Is This What You Call An Eight-Year-Old?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In order to bury his parents, Su Mu sold the last bit of land in his family.

The villagers saw him as an ominous individual and could not wait to drive him out of the village.

Just like that, Su Mu’s normal way of survival was completely cut off, and he couldn’t even exert his strength.

However, he had just died a violent death. How could he die in such a cowardly way?

If he couldn’t get food through conventional means, then he would use unconventional means!

The 5 points of Physique were not just for show.

Apart from his rapid growth, Su Mu was also physically superior to the average man.

According to his observation, the Physique of an ordinary villager was about 3 points.

Therefore, three to five ordinary adults were not his match at all.

In order to survive, Su Mu raised his fist.

From then on, the village gained a new tyrant!

Even the surrounding villages took some swiping blows.

Fortunately, this village tyrant did not ask for much. As long as he could eat his fill, he did not trouble the villagers with anything unnecessary.

However, his reputation as a “monster,” “omen of his parents,” and “village ruffian” was only gaining a stronger foothold.

The villagers basically turned around and ran when they saw him.

Another two years passed. Su Mu stood at seven feet and five inches, which was about 1.8 meters.

Not only was he taller than most adults, but his body was also extremely robust and full of strength!

Su Mu had thought of escaping from Jizhou, away from the famine.

However, the Great Qian Dynasty restricted the movement of people.

Resignedly, Su Mu could only continue to stay in the village.

In order to prepare for the upcoming great famine, Su Mu had secretly stored some dry food.

But he could only do so much alone, much less lay claim to a mountain of food.

Not to mention Su Mu, even the rich families in the nearby towns had been robbed clean after the famine.

The only thing he could do was to wait for the famine to come.

However, one day, Su Mu’s life welcomed a turning point.

“There are still eight months left.”

Early in the morning, Su Mu, as usual, first calculated how much time was left before the famine.

Then, he washed up and walked unsteadily to the neighboring village.

In the surrounding four to five villages, other than those who were in a more difficult situation, there were still five to six hundred households.

Su Mu freeloaded for an entire day.

In three years, this peaccwould end.

He had also thought of helping others to work in exchange for some food.

However, these ignorant villagers firmly believed that he was a walking dark omen. They would rather give him some free food than form any relationships with him!

Helplessly, Su Mu could only loiter about as the tyrant of the village.

It was Su Mu’s second time visiting the restaurant he was going to today.

He shouted from afar.

“Aunt Lu, have you prepared my meal for today? Hurry up and take it out!”

The owner of the house was Lu Tianlang, a small-time landlord.

After Su Mu tidied up the farm hands under his command, he had no more objections to this once-in-a-year free meal.

But Su Mu did not expect this time to be different.

A middle-aged man, who was seven feet tall and had a slightly pale face, walked out of the Lu clan’s residence.

Lu Tianlang was standing behind him.

“Big brother, you’re injured now. Why don’t we just forget about it? Anyway, it’s just a matter of a few meals, so what if this kid gets a free meal?”

Lu Tianlang looked at his brother Lu Feng worriedly.

At first, Su Mu thought that Lu Tianlang was here for revenge, but he realized that he was wrong after seeing this.

However, Lu Tianlang’s brother did not give up.

He looked at Su Mu in surprise and asked Lu Tianlang, “Ah Lang, how old did you say this kid was?”

“Eight years old, I guess.”

“Eight? He’s eight years old?”

“He’s really eight years old! This kid was very strange. He was as tall as his mother when he was three, and as tall as his father when he was five. Each time he caught up to their height, they died. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about this.”

“Tsk tsk tsk! What an interesting little cretin!”

Lu Feng’s eyes glowed as he looked at Su Mu, as if he was sizing up some kind of treasure.

Su Mu frowned and retorted, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m only seven and a half years old. Now, where’s the food I ordered?”

Su Mu had sacrificed his lifespan and set 5 points into Physique to reach his current state.

However, Lu Feng did not know this.

He coughed a few times, took a deep breath and said to Su Mu, “Kid, I’ve heard about you.

“You lost your parents at the age of 5 and everyone hates you for it. It’s understandable that you’re begging for food to survive.

“But today, you’ve come to me, so I won’t agree to it.”

Su Mu looked at Lu Feng, who was a head shorter than him and seemed to be injured, and casually asked, “What do you want to do? Fight me?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng grinned and said, “Hey! You’re right, kid.

“I heard that despite your young age, you’ve defeated all the surrounding villagers and are unrivaled. Today, I’d like to see how much you’re worth. I’d like to see if you can come to my Lu family to ask for food.”

After saying that, Lu Feng let out a roar and suddenly attacked.

This Lu Feng looked sickly, but when he attacked, he was as fierce as a tiger and as swift as a fox.

He crossed the distance of more than 20 meters in an instant and threw a punch at Su Mu’s face.

Su Mu, who didn’t take him seriously before, readied up.

He didn’t have time to dodge, so he could only raise his arms.

“Bang!”

With one punch, Su Mu was forced to retreat a dozen steps.

He felt his arms go numb with pain.

They seemed to have been fractured.

“Is that even a human?”

Su Mu was shocked.

This body of his was extremely powerful.

Although he was not even eight years old, he could probably fight with the top grandmasters on earth.

Otherwise, he would not have the ability to run amok in the village.

However, this middle-aged man, who was a head shorter than him, gave him a feeling that his whole body was falling apart with one punch.

Moreover, this guy was injured.

Was he still human?

On the other side, Lu Feng was also secretly shocked.

Su Mu was just an ordinary person who had never cultivated before, but he was able to take a punch from him without falling.

He was indeed gifted!

The more Lu Feng looked at Su Mu, the more he liked him. However, he did not stop.

He quickly caught up with Su Mu and threw another punch at him.

He wanted to see what the limits of this child’s body were.

Against the most powerful enemy in history, Su Mu grew determined!

Against this fast and heavy punch, Su Mu raised both his hands, as if he wanted to block it like before.

However, just as Lu Feng’s fist was about to land…

He immediately leaned to the side and bent his left arm to form a shield to protect his head, taking the punch head-on.

A huge force ran through Su M’s body.

This time, not only was his left arm numb and painful, but his body was also shaken to the point that it almost fell apart.

However, the tremendous force of this punch was transmitted to the right side of his body through the left side.

“I’ll get you for that!”

Su Mu roared in anger. He swung his right arm and threw a punch at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng didn’t expect Su Mu to be capable of retaliating, and the punch landed squarely on his chest.

He staggered back a few steps and almost fell.

His face seemed to have turned paler.
