Young Spirits, Swelling with Confidence

The day after Houtu returned, Kua and Yi went to Purple Jade Mountain together.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, Young Kua who was once a child is now a young man, carrying a wooden stick in his hand, which is pitch black, and it is unknown whether it is the legendary Peachwood Staff.

The young boy Yi has now grown into a strong young man, carrying Great Bow on his back and a long sword at his waist. The bow was forged for him by Wu Chu, so it was naturally not the Sun-Shooting Bow.

From afar, the spirited young Yi called out, "A Chu, I heard you've advanced to the Golden Immortal realm. Could you let me experience the power of Golden Immortal? Let's see if my unparalleled archery skills can defeat you, a Golden Immortal!"

Wu Chu looked at the young man and asked, "When did he become so arrogant?"

The young man, mimicking Wu Chu's usual manner, spread his hands and said, "Who knows! Hunting with bows and arrows has become popular in the tribe these days, but no one's archery skills can match his. It would be strange if he didn't get cocky!"

"Perfect timing! Let's go find Old Round, it's been ages since we fought!"

So the three of them used the Ground-Shrinking Technique and instantly arrived at a valley tens of thousands of miles away.

The White Ape Old Round sat in the valley, idly poking at an ant hole with a stick, watching the ants swarm out and then be killed one by one by him. The three of them were speechless for a moment. But soon, Wu Chu and Kua both realized that Old Round wasn't so bored, because the way it poked with its stick clearly had a unique rhythm.

Only the young Yi stood there, hands on his hips, laughing loudly, "Hahaha... Old Round, how bored are you! You're actually bothering with these little ants, hahaha..."

Old Round shoved the stick into the ground, glanced back at the young Yi, and asked, "Want to fight?"

Old Round spoke in human language, glanced at Wu Chu Chukua, nodded slightly, and then stared intently at Wu Chu, his ape lips parting slightly, clearly showing some excitement.

Young Yi chuckled and said, "I'll fight you later. Let me experience A Chu's power as Golden Immortal first, so I can have a clear understanding of how far I am from becoming Golden Immortal myself."

Old Round grinned, revealing four sharp fangs, then plopped down on the ground, looking at Wu Chu, "Hurry up, I can't wait to punch him!"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "It's alright, it'll be quick!"

"A Chu, you underestimate me!" Young Yi took the Great Bow from his back, stood a dozen feet in front of Wu Chu, and said, "Come on!"

"Here I come!"

Wu Chu smiled, then moved his feet and appeared in front of the young Yi the instant he drew his bow. He flicked his finger lightly on the young Yi's forehead, sending him flying.

The arrow, which had just been drawn, lost its aim and shot into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Old Round, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help but pound the ground and burst into laughter.

The young man couldn't help but smile smugly, then pretended to help him up and asked, "Little Yi, are you alright?"

Young Yi lay on the ground, looking utterly dejected. "Impossible! How could the difference in speed be so vast? Even my father isn't as fast as A Chu!"

The young man chuckled and said, "Brother Yu isn't known for his speed. Asking him to compete with Senior A Chu in speed is just making things difficult for him!"

"A Chu, no, that's cheating! How can I know how big the gap is between me and the Golden Immortal Realm like this..." Young Yi sat up defiantly.

Old Round stood up, tilted his head, picked at his ear, then pulled out an ear pick, slammed it on the ground, and said, "Now it's my turn. I'll give you a three-mile head start."

Provoked by Old Round's words, the young Yi immediately retorted, "Do I need you to give way? Come on, today I'll show you what unparalleled archery skills truly mean!"

The arrogant young Yi was almost instantly brought close by Old Round, and then that was it. His unparalleled archery skills were rendered useless as he was forced into a frantic state by Old Round's staff techniques, unable to even draw his long sword.

Wu Chu and Kua sat together, watching the show while peeling chestnuts. "Is this kid supposed to be a leading figure among the younger generation? He's gotten a bit too arrogant!"

Kua laughed and said, "He's more than just a leader among the younger generation! He's even surpassed many of us who are a generation older than him. I estimate that if he were given tens of thousands of years, he might even catch up with me. In the chief's words, with this kid's talent, he might very well grow into the number one person in the tribe besides her in the future. Isn't that a high evaluation?"

Kua's tone when he said this clearly showed no displeasure whatsoever. This magnanimity of being happy to be surpassed by the younger generation was quite admirable to Wu Chu.

"That temper of his still needs some work on!" Kua said again.

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Youthful spirit is inevitable. Although you were much more reserved than him back then, didn't you also harbor similar spirits? Don't tell me you didn't have this competitive spirit when you competed with me in the Shrinking Earth Divine Ability."

Upon hearing this, Kua burst into laughter, then chuckled slyly, "Senior A Chu, when the tribal leaders come to visit you in the future, could you perhaps let us come and see you too?"

"If you want to freeload, just say so! Let me show you what I'm capable of!"

Bang...

As they were talking, young Yi was swept away by Old Round's staff, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, clearly injured.

"Little guy, want to try again?" Old Round slammed his stick on the ground and grinned, "I haven't even used my Three Heads and Six Arms Divine Ability yet!"

Young Yi grinned and sat up, rubbing his chest, and grumbled, "Next time, I'll definitely beat you next time!"

"Haha... Master Ape is always ready to serve you!"

Seeing this, Wu Chu put away the chestnut, stood up, clapped his hands, twisted his waist, and laughed, "Old Round, let's exchange a few moves!"

"Come on then, if you're afraid of me, you're not Master Ape!"

Then, the human and the ape quickly began to fight.

And then, that was it. Wu Chu effortlessly subdued Old Round, rubbing it against the ground, which made the young Yi laugh heartily.

"How much of your cultivation did you use?"

"Probably 30% to 40%!"

Wu Chu gave it an exaggerated figure; in reality, it was less than 20%.

The difference between the Golden Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm far exceeded Old Round's imagination.

This left Old Round feeling frustrated, with a bittersweet feeling like, "We agreed to all scramble to our deaths together, but you secretly became a god."

After all, they were once evenly matched in cultivation, but in the blink of an eye, the other party easily surpassed them. This feeling was naturally not pleasant.

Fortunately, it soon saw that when Kua was sparring with Wu Chu, he was also being slammed to the ground by Wu Chu with one hand. Seeing this, Old Round laughed so hard his big teeth gleamed, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

Seeing this, the young Yi, imitating Old Round, pounded the ground with his hands and laughed loudly. As a result, when Kua was knocked away by Wu Chu, he accidentally bumped into him, sending him flying backward.
