----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, southwest region, Fasno Province, Saint Spirit Village.
Early morning, just as dawn was breaking, a rooster crowed. Immediately after, crowing sounds rose and fell throughout Saint Spirit Village, and the round moon on the horizon began to gradually fade away.
In the northern part of Saint Spirit Village, in the most remote location, there was a small courtyard.
As the rooster crows sounded, a boy approximately five or six years old slowly opened his eyes on the roof of the courtyard house.
If anyone were present, they would surely be horrified to discover that the moment the boy opened his eyes, his pupils were completely black, without the slightest trace of white.
Both eyes were pitch-black like ink, incomparably eerie and chilling, with faint black qi lingering around them, sinister and terrifying.
This bizarre sight only lasted for an instant before returning to normal. The boy gazed at the horizon that was beginning to show a hint of fish-belly white and stood up.
His short black hair made him look very neat. He wore simple clothes, his skin was slightly pale, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, giving people an oppressive feeling for no apparent reason.
Suddenly, his sharp gaze flickered. He glanced toward the village entrance, where a small figure had just left the village. With a flash of his body, he covered a full ten meters in one step, quickly heading toward a small mountain in the distance.
"Tang San, that kid, is going up the mountain to cultivate again. I wonder what level his Mysterious Heaven Skill has reached…, but by my calculations, Su Yuntao should be arriving soon," the boy on the roof muttered to himself.
As he spoke, the sharpness in his eyes faded, and they became bright and spirited once again.
His name was Jiang Chen, a child of Saint Spirit Village. However, his reputation in the entire village was terrible.
Everyone regarded him as venomous and vicious, avoiding him like the plague. Some had even given him nicknames: Jinx, Calamity Star.
Anyone who got close to him, even livestock, never met a good end.
…
"Finish it!"
Jiang Chen stretched vigorously. His whole body produced a series of crackling sounds as his joints popped. An eerie smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He leaped straight down from the several-meter-high roof.
His body landed as lightly as a ghost, completely unharmed. If anyone saw this scene, their mouth would surely drop open in shock.
For a six-year-old child, being able to climb onto a roof was already unbelievable, let alone jumping straight down from it like that.
He patted the dust off his butt. Just as Jiang Chen was about to smugly hum a few lines of a song, he suddenly glanced toward the corner of the yard. The two plump mountain chickens locked in the chicken coop had already stiffened with their legs sticking straight up.
"My chickens!" Jiang Chen cried out in pain. In one step, he crossed the distance and arrived in front of the coop.
He reached out and poked the two mountain chickens. They were completely rigid, dead beyond dead.
"What a waste…" His face was filled with heartache. He reached out and touched the two chickens' bodies.
Very strangely, faint strands of black mist began to surge from the chickens' bodies, gathering toward the palm of his hand before sinking into his body.
As the black mist poured out, the two originally plump mountain chickens instantly became skin and bones, as if they had been air-dried.
Jiang Chen skillfully picked up the two corpses and walked outside.
Behind him, the entire courtyard looked incomparably bizarre.
Inside the yard, not a single blade of grass grew. The soil was severely parched and cracked with countless fissures. There was not the slightest sign of life, completely out of place compared to the rest of Saint Spirit Village.
Whether it was the death of the two mountain chickens or the eerie condition of the yard, all of it was caused by him.
Very few things could withstand the aura he unintentionally released. Weaker ones died directly; stronger ones would fall seriously ill. Even the land had been cracked by him.
The names Jinx and Calamity Star came precisely because of this…
Although he had lost two chickens, Jiang Chen was naturally optimistic and soon put the unhappiness behind him. He went outside the village to bury the two chickens properly.
After finishing all of this, he did not return home directly. Instead, he ran toward the river not far outside the village. Since yesterday's two mountain chickens were gone, he would catch a few more fish to bring back.
He was still growing. Unlike that fool Tang San, who only knew how to bury his head in cultivation and mistreat his own body, Jiang Chen's muscles were full and well-developed — very robust.
Catching fish in the water was something he was already extremely familiar with. Half an hour later, he returned holding three large fish.
The fish were very big and very fat. He had strung them through the gills with a straw and lifted them with both hands up to chest height so their tails wouldn't drag on the ground.
When passing by the small mountain where Tang San cultivated, he paused. Just in time, he met Tang San, who had finished cultivating and was coming down from the mountain.
"Hey, Tang San!"
Tang San had also seen Jiang Chen from far away. When he heard Jiang Chen calling him, he forced a smile onto his face.
"Jiang Chen, you're up so early too!"
Jiang Chen walked over toward Tang San. But Tang San's small face twitched. He hurriedly took several steps back.
"Don't, don't come over here." Tang San kept waving his hands, a trace of fear actually appearing in his eyes.
Not only had the adults, children, and livestock in the village suffered at Jiang Chen's hands, but he, who possessed the orthodox Mysterious Heaven Skill of the Tang Sect to protect his body, had nearly capsized once.
He had once felt the sudden burst of cold, yin energy from Jiang Chen's body. That energy drilled straight into his body. If not for the protection of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he probably would have fallen seriously ill.
The most infuriating part was that one early morning, when he was about to go up the mountain to cultivate, he discovered Jiang Chen sneaking down from the mountain. He caught him red-handed.
After going up the mountain, Tang San almost exploded with anger.
The mountain was only about a hundred meters high, yet after Jiang Chen came down, the entire mountaintop and the flowers, plants, and trees for twenty to thirty meters downward had all withered yellow, as if their life force had been sucked away.
During that period, the spiritual energy Tang San obtained while cultivating at the mountaintop was noticeably less than before. It took several months for the mountaintop to slowly recover.
Jiang Chen curled his lip. He knew Tang San was thinking about that mountaintop incident again.
He swore; he really hadn't done it on purpose. At that time, he just wanted to see what was so special about the place where Tang San secretly cultivated every day. As a result, when he tried cultivating there, his internal energy accidentally leaked out, causing that tragedy.
He felt somewhat guilty for ruining someone else's cultivation spot for no reason.
"Then… I caught a few fish. Here's one for you." He didn't continue approaching Tang San. He simply tossed one fish over.
Tang San's right hand shot out quickly and accurately. He caught the straw rope steadily, and the nearly ten-jin large fish was held firmly in his grasp.
"Thanks," Tang San said.
At this moment, the two were only about five meters apart. Jiang Chen's eyes, black like gemstones, suddenly lit up. His aggressive gaze locked tightly onto Tang San's healthy-skinned neck. His throat unconsciously swallowed hard.
He could clearly hear the sound of blood rushing through Tang San's body. When he focused, it almost seemed as though he could see the large artery in Tang San's neck pulsing nonstop. The flowing sound, the rhythm of the pulsing, it was so… beautiful.
Tang San looked at the sudden change in Jiang Chen's eyes and felt his whole body turn cold. A chill rushed from the base of his spine straight to the top of his head, making his scalp instantly go numb.
"Jiang Chen, I still have to go back and make breakfast. I'm leaving first."
Before his words even finished, Tang San had already leaped more than ten meters away. Carrying the large fish, he blinked and escaped back into Saint Spirit Village.
"Damn it… Why did I get hungry again?" Jiang Chen muttered. He wiped away the shiny saliva that had unconsciously flowed from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to suppress the desire in his heart.
If Tang San's father found out, he would probably be smashed flat with one hammer.
