In the distance, the mountains stretched across the land like giant dragons, winding and twisting. Faintly, one could still see towering peaks piercing the sky. It was precisely these peaks that made Danny Goodwin certain that this place was definitely not Earth—where on Earth could there be such majestic mountains?

Each of these peaks was at least ten thousand meters above sea level. Such a sight was simply impossible to find on Earth.

Today, Danny Goodwin was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket for the first time in his life. Until now, he had always worn hand-me-downs from Sam Goodwin, or even from Eddie Goodwin.

This year was different. Hannah Johnson had made a new cotton jacket for each of her two younger brothers. Ever since she married Tyler Walker, her life had become much better than it was at home.

It had to be said, Tyler Walker was an extremely capable person. His abilities weren’t just in his strength—though that was certainly his most outstanding trait.

He was a very smart man. In just a few short months after returning, he had become the leader of the village hunters—not just in name, but in reality. All the hunters in the village respected him. In Danny Goodwin’s eyes, his actions were just like those protagonists in web novels who traveled back to primitive times, leading the whole village toward prosperity. According to Danny Goodwin’s own calculations, ever since Tyler Walker arrived, the amount of game the village brought back from hunting had increased at least five or six times. Now, every few days, the family could eat some meat. It wasn’t much, but it was far better than before.

He also organized all the village hunters to sell the animal pelts they caught at Qingyang Market. Because they were hunting more now, and the number of fierce beasts had greatly increased, their harvests were much greater than when each family acted on its own. The standard of living for every household was visibly improving.

Moreover, during their usual training sessions on the large open ground north of the village, Tyler Walker gradually began to train the hunters to cooperate with each other, even teaching them some basic battle formations. Over the past few months, the hunters’ harvests had increased, but casualties had decreased. In fact, only a few unlucky hunters had gotten hurt, and their injuries weren’t from wild beasts, but from accidental falls in the mountains.

Watching everything Tyler Walker did, Danny Goodwin felt like he was watching a farming novel where the main character traveled back to primitive times. Sometimes, he even really believed that Tyler Walker, like himself, was a transmigrator.

With Tyler Walker being so capable, Hannah Johnson naturally enjoyed a better life by his side. Her days were much more comfortable than at home, especially after she became pregnant a little over a month ago. Tyler Walker became even more attentive to her, not letting her do any hard or heavy work. With nothing else to do, she made two cotton jackets for her younger brothers. After all, she had raised both of them herself, so her feelings for them were special—especially for Danny Goodwin, who had always been obedient and sensible since childhood. Hannah even treated him as her own son.

So, from time to time, Danny Goodwin would often sneak over to his sister’s house for food and drink, and while he was at it, try to get some valuable information out of Tyler Walker.

Over the past few months, he had completely immersed himself in the world of martial arts. Although what he learned was all the most basic and rudimentary martial arts, it was enough to keep him busy for a long time.

His practice of the Mighty Vajra Qigong had already reached a bottleneck. After all, the body of a three-year-old could only contain so much internal energy.

And he still wasn’t old enough to practice the Bear Demon Fist.

However, recently, while practicing Tai Chi, he made an unexpected discovery: Tai Chi also seemed to have a body-strengthening effect.

Because his strength was gradually increasing.

This was somewhat similar to what Tyler Walker said about the Bear Demon Fist, a skin-tempering technique, though the increase was nowhere near as obvious as with the Bear Demon Fist.

In fact, he felt that this increase in physical strength wasn’t from Tai Chi, but from his practice of the Mighty Vajra Qigong.

Of course, in this world, martial arts cultivation was a combination of internal and external training. Cultivating internal energy was a process from the inside out. Internal energy could strengthen the body, but such effects only appeared after one’s internal energy became deep and refined—it was a gradual, subtle process. The more advanced the internal skill, the more obvious the benefits to the body. The Mighty Vajra Qigong was just a basic internal skill popularized in the army. Even if one reached a high level, it was hard for it to bring much benefit to the body.

Right now, the internal energy in Danny Goodwin’s body was pitifully little, hardly of any real use. Normally, just not being a burden to his body would be good enough—hoping for any benefit was just wishful thinking.

But in reality, the Mighty Vajra Qigong in his body had indeed started to gradually nourish and strengthen him—not just his muscles, but also his bones, tendons, and even meridians. If others knew about this, they would be utterly shocked. It was simply unimaginable.
