A Youth with Delicate Features and a Tiger's Back

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, a small village beside the Sunset Great Forest.

A figure slowly emerged from the forest outside the village. He was remarkably burly, at least 1.8 meters tall, built like an iron tower.

A Tiger with Fiery Eyes and White Brow was slung across his back. Its size had exceeded the limits of an ordinary tiger, completely obscuring his figure. It looked to weigh at least six or seven hundred jin.

Yet even while carrying such a massive beast, the man appeared perfectly relaxed, showing no signs of fatigue as he walked all the way to the village entrance.

Only then did he finally set down his prey and catch his breath.

"Yo, Xiao Yuan, you went hunting and just got back?" At that moment, a kind voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh, it's the village chief. Hello, Grandpa Village Chief!" Hearing the voice, Li Yuan, who had been resting, hurriedly stood up and greeted the old man in a crisp child's voice completely at odds with his hulking body.

At the same time, Li Yuan's face, which had been hidden behind the prey all along, was revealed. It was an exceptionally delicate face, even a handsome one.

The problem was that paired with his broad back and muscular waist, it looked utterly mismatched.

Simply put, he had delicate features and the body of a burly brute!

Seeing this, the corner of Village Chief Duke's mouth could not help twitching. He had lived for nearly sixty years and could be considered well-traveled and experienced.

But he had never seen such an oddity in his life. Li Yuan was only six this year, so how had he grown into such a—well, peculiar-looking child?

Fortunately, he had watched Li Yuan grow up and had more or less gotten used to it. Otherwise, his old bones truly could not have endured such a fright!

Li Yuan, with his delicate features and burly build, clearly noticed Village Chief Duke's strange expression, and helplessness appeared on his face.

If he had a choice, he would not have wanted to grow into this shape either!

What the hell was going on? When other people transmigrated, they either got cheats or some absurdly powerful background.

When it came to him, it was one thing to have no cheat and no background, but why had he himself turned into such a freak?

That was right. Li Yuan was not from this world. He had come from twenty-first-century Earth and arrived in this world six years ago.

Before transmigrating, he had been an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Other than that, he had been an utterly ordinary person. There was no career disappointment, because he had never had a job, nor were there any relationship troubles. He had simply been a lonely single guy!

All in all, he had been completely ordinary. Heaven knew what had happened for him to transmigrate here for no reason at all.

At first, Li Yuan thought he had merely transmigrated into an ordinary world. It was not until one day, when he saw a villager casually summon a hoe and then plow a field at astonishing speed, that he realized this world was anything but simple.

Wait, this setting seemed awfully familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before!

Very quickly, Li Yuan remembered that back on Earth, he had read a novel called Douluo Continent. It seemed to have this exact sort of setting. Could he really have transmigrated here?

After reaching that conclusion, Li Yuan found ways to learn about this world from Duke, the old village chief who had raised him.

The result confirmed it beyond doubt. This place was Douluo Continent, and the village where he currently lived was called Douhun Village. Apparently, a Titled Douluo had once come from the village, which was why it had this name.

As expected of Douluo Continent. Even its naming style was the same. Still, his Douhun Village seemed more impressive than protagonist Tang San's Saint Soul Village!

Their village had only produced a Soul Sage, while his village had produced a Titled Douluo!

Well, that was just a joke. Although the name Douhun Village sounded impressive, its actual situation was not much better than Saint Soul Village's.

Its name sounded grand, but it was really just a very ordinary little village. If there was anything special about it, it was its proximity to the Sunset Great Forest.

Soul Masters who wanted to hunt in the Sunset Great Forest and obtain spirit rings often passed through here, so Douhun Village's economic conditions were fairly good.

Since Soul Masters frequently replenished their supplies here, the villagers generally lived rather well. After all, those Soul Masters were all rich.

Li Yuan was one of Douhun Village's villagers. Much like in his previous life, he was still an orphan in this life. According to Village Chief Duke, he had been abandoned at the entrance to Douhun Village six years ago.

In the end, Duke, the village chief of Douhun Village, had taken him in. At first, everything had been fairly normal.

Other than being somewhat smarter than ordinary children, Li Yuan had shown nothing unusual. But as he grew older, things gradually became less normal.

At first, Li Yuan's appetite began to grow rapidly. By the age of two or three, he was already eating more than an average adult.

As his appetite increased, Li Yuan's body also began to grow wildly, as though he had been pumped full of hormones.

By the time he was five or six, his physique had reached the level of a burly adult. Yet strangely, though his body had grown, his face still looked like that of a child, giving him an exceptionally bizarre appearance.

Fortunately, Douluo Continent itself was rather fantastical. In an ordinary world, the villagers would probably have treated him like a monster and killed him.

But as these changes continued, problems gradually emerged. His appetite grew larger and larger, until Village Chief Duke could no longer afford to feed him.

Yet the feeling of not eating enough was simply unbearable, so Li Yuan had no choice but to find his own way out.

Thus, at such a young age, Li Yuan began the difficult path of supporting himself.

Fortunately, while he ate a lot and grew quickly, he was not without his strengths. Perhaps because he ate enough, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Simply put, he possessed Innate Divine Strength.

As for just how strong he was—well, at six years old, he could beat a four- or five-meter-long tiger to death with his bare fists.

And this was no ordinary tiger. By Douluo Continent's standards, it should have counted as a soul beast—a hundred-year soul beast. Li Yuan had specifically paid attention to it.

After he had hammered that tiger to death, the spirit ring it produced had been yellow. If he remembered correctly, that was the mark of a hundred-year soul beast. As for exactly how many years old it had been, Li Yuan did not know.
