Primeval Mountains

Speaking of the dangers of the Dragon Ball world, it depended on where you were. There were no shortage of paradise-like planets in the universe, but one thing was beyond doubt: as the "hometown" of the Dragon Ball warriors, Earth was absolutely dangerous. Ordinary people could not escape the fate of cannon fodder.

Looking at the Six-Star Dragon Ball before him, Mu Yang was now certain that this was Earth. After all, only Earth had Dragon Balls this small and exquisitely made.

At that moment, Mu Yang's scalp tingled. It was as if a whole pantry of flavors had spilled inside him, every emotion surging up at once. Judging by his expression, his face must have looked spectacular.

Calm down, calm down...

But how could he stay calm when his life was on the line?

The Dragon Ball world was no joke. In this world, destroying a planet was as easy as popping a balloon! Maybe one day, some great god would be in a bad mood, breathe out, and a planet would vanish from the universe. Hundreds of millions of lives would be buried with it, with nowhere to seek justice.

He had thought he had arrived in a wonderful world where he could learn powers he had never been able to touch in his previous life. But now he realized... he had imagined the future too beautifully. Opportunities existed here as well, but they were not necessarily things he could handle.

With his little body, he would probably only be able to play a supporting role in the Dragon Ball world!

Still, judging from the current situation, Earth's technological strength had only just begun to sprout. There should still be a long time before the original storyline began.

The early stages of Dragon Ball were relatively stable. There would not be any world-destroying disasters.

Was it too late to switch careers and become a chef? Good food could save lives at critical moments! Or perhaps... he could go find Hercule and become friends with him?

Pah, pah. What was he thinking?

"First, I need to determine what era I'm in..." Mu Yang told himself.

Meixia watched her senior brother's expression constantly change and blinked as she asked, "Senior Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Crystal Ball?"

After taking another deep look at the six-star Dragon Ball, Mu Yang calmed down. He stuffed it back into Meixia's arms and shook his head. "It's nothing. Keep this safe for now. Don't lose it."

"Is this Crystal Ball very important? Maybe Senior Brother should keep it instead!" Meixia fumbled in a panic, afraid of doing something wrong. Mu Yang shook his head and said, "It's fine. Keep it with you. It has a few miraculous properties, but it isn't very useful to us right now."

Without a Dragon Ball Radar, a single Dragon Ball truly was nothing more than an ornament. Moreover, for the foreseeable future, this so-called Six-Star Dragon Ball would be of no use.

"Alright, Meixia, let's enter the Primeval Mountains and train. Once we're inside, you must listen to my commands. We're only entering the outer region of the mountains, but we still can't let our guard down..." Temporarily setting aside his worries, Mu Yang gave Meixia a few instructions.

"Mm." Meixia nodded forcefully. A serious expression appeared on her fair face as she waved her fist to show her determination.

At the sight of this, a faint smile finally appeared on Mu Yang's troubled face. He nodded to Meixia, and the two headed toward the Primeval Mountains.

The Primeval Mountains stretched for hundreds of kilometers, with mountains rising one after another, lush and verdant, filled with countless ferocious beasts and monsters. No one knew how many years they had stood there since ancient times. Those towering peaks and the beasts within them were like a natural barrier, stopping humanity in its tracks and confining human activity to the outskirts. Few ventured deep into their heart.

Mu Yang and Meixia did not walk quickly, but the scenery around them changed as they steadily advanced.

Before long, their surroundings became oppressive. Dark-green branches blotted out the sky and blocked the sunlight, making it as dim as the depths of an underground cavern. The roars of beasts warning off intruders also reached their ears.

Roar— A low roar echoed through the forest, startling the surroundings and sending a great flock of birds screeching into the air.

"Careful, a beast is coming."

Mu Yang stopped walking, his expression turning serious as light flickered in his eyes.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh..." Meixia's eyes shone. Rubbing her fists together, she stood shoulder to shoulder with Mu Yang and cautiously surveyed the area. Soon, a massive spotted beast appeared before them. With sharp fangs and a savage appearance, it was a leopard-like predator commonly found on the outskirts of the Primeval Mountains.

The beast approached Mu Yang and Meixia, stamped its forepaw down, and gouged up earth with its claws, leaving a sudden crater in the ground. Then it lunged forward, attacking them in an instant.

"Courting death!"

A cold glint flashed in Mu Yang's eyes. He stepped forward quickly and threw a punch straight at the beast.

Bang! His hard fist collided with the beast's skull. Mu Yang bared his teeth as his arm went slightly numb, and he was forced back several steps. The beast did not fare any better, staggering unsteadily with a pained whimper.

"Hah!" Bar­ing his teeth, Mu Yang exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded, fairly satisfied with his attack.

If an ordinary adult's Battle Power was between 3 and 4, then the strength Mu Yang had just displayed should have reached around 15.

Yes, a Battle Power of 15!

It looked rather shabby, but that was Mu Yang's rough estimate of his own strength. The beast before him looked powerful, but it was manageable!

"Meixia, you should get some practice too!" Mu Yang did not only think of himself. He also called Meixia over to let her train.

Meixia immediately became excited, howling like a wildcat with its fur standing on end.

She narrowed her eyes, a trace of ferocity appearing in her dark-green pupils. Then she raised her delicate arm. At that moment, a faint green glow radiated from her entire body. She twisted her wrist, her five fingers seeming to grasp something invisible, then clenched hard and flung it fiercely toward a towering tree in the distance.

Awoo—

The giant tree shook, and scattered leaves swirled through the air. Amid a mournful whimper, the beast, more than a man's height tall, was slammed directly against the trunk of the enormous tree. By the time it hit the ground, half its life was already gone.

"Telekinesis!"

Seeing the practical effect of Meixia's Psychic Power, Mu Yang's half-lidded eyes snapped open. Frowning, he said, "Meixia, you need to focus wholeheartedly during training. If you use Psychic Power for everything, how will you get any chance to train?"

Meixia's telekinesis was somewhat like Chiaotzu's Psychic Power. Though Psychic Power was powerful, it did nothing to advance Tianxin Style training, so Mu Yang had no choice but to warn Meixia.
