All Heavens Strategy Game

Initially, when village chief Su Dashun called on the entire village to sponsor Su Ming's martial arts training, many people were not convinced.

Even if some people didn't show it on their faces, they had a lot of complaints in their hearts: Why should Su Ming be supported instead of my own child?

People are inherently selfish; no one wants to spend money and resources to raise someone else's child during a year of disaster.

What?

You're saying this is for the village's future development plan?

You say this is necessary for the rejuvenation and development of the entire nation?

Ha ha,

Nobody thinks that far ahead!

People! Their eyes are always on immediate interests!

"If we're really going to provide support, then we can only support my child, who also has the potential to practice martial arts!"

This is what many people think.

But after Su Ming subdued Su Xiong Gou, no one in the village came to cause trouble again, and no one dared to express their dissatisfaction casually.

Without him,

Strength is capital!

It's nothing short of a miracle that Su Ming, with the body of an eight-year-old child, knocked out the adult Su Dashan and defeated the "King of Kids" Su Xiong Gou.

Other eight-year-olds can't even speak clearly and can't push an adult no matter how hard they try, but Su Ming at this age can already crush adults.

This strength and this potential are enough to prove everything.

Su Ming captured Su Xiong Gou seven times, not only subduing Su Xiong Gou but also the entire village, silencing all the rumors.

Everything is earned through one's own efforts.

Village chief Su Dashun secured an opportunity for the protagonist to receive village-wide funding, and Su Ming seized this opportunity!

"Alright, after this matter, the issue of my qualifications in the whole village is completely over, and I can enjoy a long period of peace now..."

"From now on, I don't need to worry about outside troubles. I can just stay at home and practice martial arts diligently."

After that day,

Su Ming never went out again and began to practice martial arts seriously.

He had a plan for practicing martial arts long ago:

My current body is too young, only eight years old, and not fully developed. In fact, my bones and flesh haven't even had time to develop yet.

In this situation, forcing oneself to practice martial arts, such as learning moves and strengthening the body, will only prematurely deplete the body's potential, resulting in being short and thin later in life, which is not conducive to future development.

—The younger you are when you start practicing martial arts, the better the results will be.

This isn't a fantasy world; everything has to be based on science.

When you are young, you need to lay a solid foundation first; this is the essence of the saying "sharpen your axe before you chop wood."

Laying the foundation requires two steps: internal and external.

Firstly, internally, one should cultivate the breathing technique "Xingyi Breathing Method" to nourish the body's internal organs.

The human body is a furnace, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to nourish itself.

Breathing exercises are methods to nourish the five internal organs and enhance the potential of qi and blood.

Secondly, externally, that is, the physical appearance, including the skin, eyes, claws, fists, and other organs, is tempered.

Instead of practicing martial arts, one should first temper these organs to lay a solid foundation, so that practicing martial arts later will be much more effective.

For example, for the eyes, the main method is to observe the sun, making an effort to look up at the sun in the sky and use the dazzling sunlight to temper the eyes, combined with eye exercises with medicinal solutions.

When I first started practicing, my eyes would water as soon as I looked at the sun. But after I reached a high level of proficiency, I could look directly at the midday sun without feeling any discomfort in my eyes.

After being trained in this way, one's eyes will be bright and piercing when one reaches adulthood, like those of an eagle or a tiger, with a torch-like quality, allowing one to see farther and clearer than ordinary people.

It can even go for a long time without blinking, three or four minutes without blinking without any burden, which is very useful when fighting the enemy.

For example, practicing claw techniques.

"Claws" refers to the fingernails and the area between the nails.

Human fingernails are relatively soft, unlike the sharp claws of carnivorous animals. When grabbing someone's skin, it is difficult to tear the flesh off. Moreover, the nail bed is relatively fragile. When grabbing something, if you encounter any hard object or debris, it can easily damage the nail bed, causing unbearable pain.

If you try to scratch a tree trunk with your claws and peel off the bark in one go, your nails are likely to break, and the bark can also cut your nail crevices.

Human physical strength is limited. If you want to increase the upper limit of your claw skills, you need to use some methods to improve the sharpness of your claws.

Su Ming knew of a method for forging claws using resin.

A special resin is boiled into a liquid. This substance is toxic and can be applied to the nails and nail beds daily to cause nails to fall off temporarily and the skin to peel.

Over time, the nails fall out and grow back, eventually becoming thicker and harder. Some resin will integrate into the nail to act as a better protective film, thus greatly increasing the strength of the nail. Moreover, once it reaches a certain length, it will stop growing.

Thick calluses, comparable to cowhide, form under the nails as the skin peels and grows back day after day, and they become immune to pain.

This is called "sharpening".

After sharpening one's claws, the claws become hard and sharp. When one practices claw techniques later, such as Dragon Claw Hand and Eagle Claw Hand, the potential is even higher.

Others can't tear clothes with a single claw, but you can peel them off along with the skin and flesh with one claw. You can even peel off tree bark without causing any damage to your fingers.

In addition, there is the practice of "skin training," which involves heating an iron pot, stirring carefully selected sand in it, and then using it to vigorously rub the skin after it reaches a certain temperature to increase the skin's abrasion resistance and make the skin rough and hard...

Thus, Su Ming prepared to lay the foundation using these two methods, "internal" and "external," for a long time to come.

They're still young, so there's no rush to practice. Once they've built a solid foundation, everything will fall into place naturally!

In his previous life, with the help of his grandfather and his family's wealth, he spent ten years.

If he were to relive his life, it would only take him less time!

……

time flies.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That year, the land was covered in snow, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the world was enveloped in a vast expanse of white.

Inside the courtyard, under a large tree, Su Ming stood shirtless in the cold wind, motionless, letting the heavy snow cover his body.

Over time, the snow covered his exterior, making him look like a snowman.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"Splash..."

Su Ming shook off the snowflakes, went to the well, picked up a basin of cold water, and poured it over himself from head to toe. The cold stung him and he shivered, but he endured the chill and poured three buckets of water over himself.

My body was ice-cold!

Under the stimulation of external cold, the internal energy symbolizing warmth within the body seems to be suppressed at any moment, leaving no chance to recover.

"Almost there!"

Su Ming took a deep breath and poured cold water on himself.

Stimulated by this basin of cold water, the coldness intensified, and the internal energy surged to an extreme point. Just as it was about to extinguish, it not only did not extinguish, but suddenly burst forth with an even warmer current!

"It's done!"

Su Ming looked at the panel and smiled.

Xingyi Gong, proficient!

Name: Su Ming

Age: 13

[Xingyi Gong: Proficiency 1/100]

Stimulated by the cold, he successfully broke through his limits and mastered Xingyi Gong to a proficient level. His internal energy more than doubled, and his strength increased greatly!

He was proficient in Xingyi Gong and possessed the strength of 300 jin in both arms!

In his previous life, he spent ten years laying the foundation, but in this life, he only spent five!

I don't know if it's because I cultivated in my previous life, or because my physical aptitude is better in this life than in the previous one.

Without deliberate practice, Xingyi Gong naturally progresses to proficiency, signifying the complete completion of foundational training.

"The foundation has been laid."

"Now that I'm thirteen years old, my physical development is stable, and I can start practicing martial arts moves."

"Practicing martial arts without internal cultivation is ultimately futile."

"Practicing martial arts without training will make you a weak and feeble tiger in old age."

"I've laid a solid foundation and finally reached the stage of practicing martial arts..."

Su Ming went back into the house, put on thick clothes, and after warming up, picked up his wood-chopping knife, left the house, and headed towards Xiaochongshan behind the village.

The Lesser Chongshan Mountains are teeming with wild animals and are extremely dangerous, so many hunters dare not venture deep into them.

Today, Su Ming has internal energy flowing through his body, and his arms have the strength of 300 jin. He is ready to test his strength!

First, the experiment's own capabilities.

Second, to demonstrate one's own strength.

Five years is too long. During this time, Su Ming only knew how to bury himself in martial arts training and never showed his martial prowess.

Su Xiong Gou would occasionally come to challenge him for the first three years, but he always lost badly. Later, he gave up completely and simply avoided Su Ming.

It's been two years since Su Ming last made a move in front of outsiders.

Now that we've broken through our limitations, it's the perfect time to go hunting in the mountains, demonstrate our strength, and reassure the villagers about their potential investment.

At the same time, it can also be a chance to test just how strong one's own abilities have become.

Having no internal energy in his previous life, but possessing it in this one, Su Ming truly has little concept of his current strength!

Leaving the house, Su Ming walked towards Xiao Chongshan.

Several middle-aged women were returning from gathering firewood at the village entrance when they bumped into Su Ming. One of the women, a neighbor, looked at Su Ming with surprise, noticing that he seemed to be heading out, and called out, "Su Sanlang, with such heavy snow, what are you doing?"

"I'll go into the mountains to see if I can hunt any prey."

"Hunting? The mountains are snowbound now, it's cold and freezing, what prey could there be? Even if there were, how could you possibly catch it with just a machete? Animals on four legs are much faster than you on two, you can't catch them!"

An older woman nearby kindly reminded him, "Hurry back, don't waste time. Hunting isn't easy; you could easily run into a wild boar or wolf and lose your life!"

"Yes, yes, I remember a few years ago, the eldest son of the village elder was carried off by wolves while hunting in the mountains. When they were found, all that was left were tattered clothes and broken bones. It was so tragic!"

"It's cold up in the mountains, and food is scarce. Those carnivorous beasts can't find anything to eat, and when they're starving, they become even more ferocious than usual. For a bite to eat, let alone a child like you, even an adult hunter would never return..."

The older women and aunties chimed in, kindly urging Su Ming to return.

Su Ming said, "It's nothing. I'm just going up to take a look. I've always been lucky. What if I find a frozen rabbit or something? Then I'll have meat to eat!"

After saying that, Su Ming ignored the old women and headed towards Xiaochongshan, quickly disappearing from the villagers' sight.

"The third son of the Su family, I don't remember him ever going up the mountain, right?" said a woman with a long face who looked to be around 30 years old.

"Yes, this must be his first time up the mountain!"

"Heh, the first time I went up the mountain, I went in during a heavy snowfall that blocked the way. I didn't even know the route. The way back was covered in snow, and I couldn't see anything at all. I really got lost. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?"

The long-faced old woman, already dissatisfied with the monthly financial aid she provided to Su Ming, couldn't help but mutter, "You can't reason with that damned devil! With so much snow, if he gets lost, he'll just freeze to death!"

"That's not how it works. Su Jia Sanlang is a very strong fighter; no one in the village can beat him. He can definitely hunt rabbits and other prey..."

"Hmph! What's the use of being good at fighting? He might be able to beat a man, but can he really beat a wild animal? Wild animals really do eat people! His skinny arms and legs wouldn't even be enough for a wild animal to eat in one meal!" The horse-faced woman said, "A few days ago when I went up the mountain to collect firewood, I saw a wolf bigger than an ox! It must be because of the heavy snow and lack of prey, the wolf pack in the Great Mountains couldn't find enough food, so they came to the Lesser Mountains..."

"Really? A wolf bigger than a cow? Is that an exaggeration? It sounds like a wolf king!"

"When a wolf pack goes hunting in unfamiliar territory, the alpha wolf usually leads the way, scouting the area before returning to the territory to call the other wolves to join the hunt. What you should have seen was the alpha wolf scouting the area!"

"Then that's it! The wolf king is here, and the wolf pack will be here soon!"

An older woman suddenly realized something and glared fiercely at the horse-faced woman: "Ma Xiuying, I know you have a grudge against Widow Liu, and you two always argue. But this is a matter of life and death! You saw the wolf king and knew the wolf pack was coming from the deep mountains. Why didn't you say so sooner? You've got Su Sanlang killed!"

Everyone's expression changed.

Got it!

Su Ming has just entered the mountains. Isn't it possible that he might encounter a wolf king, or even a pack of wolves, scouting the area?

It was his first time entering the mountains, and he was unfamiliar with the mountain paths. On top of that, he encountered a ferocious beast that came out of the deep mountains. He was doomed!

"Ma Xiuying, you should have said so sooner!"

"It's too late now. Su Ming has already entered the mountains; his chances of survival are slim. Let's just hope he doesn't encounter any wolves!"

"Ma Xiuying, it's all your fault! If you had told us earlier, we would have stopped him even if it cost us our lives!"

"Why blame me? He was the one who insisted on going into the mountains, what's it to me?" The horse-faced woman said coldly. "If you ask me, it's better he's dead. If he's dead, we won't have to pay him to support us every month!"

"How could you curse someone like that? Maybe Su Ming was lucky and didn't encounter any wolves, but instead happened to find a frozen rabbit?"

"It's my first time in the mountains, I'm just glad I didn't get lost." Ma Xiuying muttered, looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky. "I hope I don't end up freezing to death myself instead of finding any prey that has frozen to death..."

"Shut up!" an old woman said. "What's all the noise about? Go find the village chief and have him organize the village hunters to go into the mountains to search for him. Let's try to bring Su Ming back alive, otherwise we've wasted five years of money supporting him!"

When talking about the money that had gone down the drain over the past five years, Ma Xiuying's face changed, and she could no longer utter a single curse.

The group hurried towards the village chief Su Dashun's house.

When Su Dashun heard the news, his face turned green with fright.

The village has finally produced a talented individual with martial arts potential; we can't let him die before he's even mastered anything!

"Su Sanlang, Su Sanlang, how could you be so stupid?!"

Su Dashun was exasperated and quickly organized several hunters to rush into the mountains.

But just then, heavy snow blocked the mountain, and they couldn't find any footprints. They could only search aimlessly in the mountains, but they couldn't find anyone for a while. They could only pray in their hearts that the kid hadn't frozen to death or been eaten!

—With heavy snow blocking the mountain passes, a newborn calf ventured into the mountains, and countless villagers cursed the boy for his absurd and foolish act!
