At this time, the newly-turned-ten-year-old children haven't yet gone up Little Stone Mountain, and only a portion of the children are there.
Some people are too lazy to argue with them, so they let them experience the fun of being the boss for a couple of days. Others feel confident in their abilities and will give it a try.
The outcome is uncertain, just like Jiang Luoluo and Nan, who are not much different in size than two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children.
The south side is even slightly higher.
If someone who doesn't know you were standing here, they probably wouldn't be able to tell which two people are the 10-year-olds.
Brown didn't stop the fourteen-year-old from appearing. After all, as long as he wasn't 15 and hadn't awakened his beast form, he was indeed qualified to stay on Little Stone Mountain and "bully the weak."
As for whether this is unfair.
First, we need to determine one thing.
That is, as the oldest and strongest person overall, he is not a challenger, but a defender, and cannot choose his own opponent.
If you feel you can't beat him, you don't have to challenge him. Just give him the spot, and he'll leave on his own after two days. He won't occupy the spot for long—he'll kick you out if you stay more than a few days.
If you don't want to give up easily because of "age" or any other reason, then the resulting gaps are the price you have to pay for the challenge.
If you don't want to bow your head, then bear the weight that comes with raising it.
This is also why the Brown Association allows those fourteen-year-old kids to "bully" others; only by putting pressure on them can they find out who has the strongest bones and the hardest fists.
The competition for the "boss" position on Little Stone Mountain is not a simple 1v1 battle, but a free-for-all where anyone can join or leave the fray at any time.
However, the default rule is from top to bottom. For example, if you withdraw from the melee in the center circle, you are considered to have given up competing for that position. If you want to rejoin the battle, you can only join the group behind the center circle.
Each time you choose to exit, your current position needs to be moved one circle to the next.
Of course, it can also be the other way around.
For example, if you start from the outermost melee and defeat everyone to become the victor, you can move further in and join the innermost melee, continuing to win until you can't win anymore.
—As for those who stand aside and don't participate in the melee, waiting for others to be exhausted before joining in, let's not even talk about whether there are such people in the tribe.
From the moment the chaos began, those who did not join in were presumed to have given up any fight and were directly disqualified.
For example, the grasshopper watching the show from the sidelines.
The grasshopper is definitely not weak. Although it controls its body most of the time, with the python supervising it, the grasshopper would never dare to slack off in any physical training.
No matter how confident the python is in its own strength, it knows that a sufficiently strong body is the foundation for unleashing its full potential, and it cannot allow the grasshopper to waste such an important period of growth.
However, whether or not one is strong or not does not affect the fact that the mantis doesn't like to fight, and the python is not the type to bully children by relying on its own strength.
Jiang Luoluo doesn't count.
Regardless of the python's strength boost, if the grasshopper were to fight on its own, Jiang Luoluo felt that it would at least be able to spar with twelve-year-old children.
I can't guarantee a win, but the win rate is at least around 50%.
It's a pity that his personality is like this; I wonder if he'll change as he grows up.
The fourteen-year-old boy, Mai, comes from a family similar to Mao's. Both parents are the only ones left to support the family, leaving them little free time to teach their children hunting skills.
Therefore, Mai could only stay on Little Stone Mountain and try to learn as much as possible.
Although Brown was missing an arm, he was still a genuine orc warrior who had experienced many hunting activities and could offer a lot of useful advice.
When they see children who are unable to learn hunting from their parents, they try their best to teach them some practical hunting skills.
Not all of them are useful, but something is better than nothing.
Mai didn't intentionally want to compete for the top position on Little Stone Mountain. Given his age advantage, not vying for the position would make him feel "looked down upon".
Therefore, he felt that he had to first secure the top position and prove his strength before he could give up competing with others—to show that he wasn't incapable of winning, but rather unwilling to.
Let the other children know that they are not weak.
It can only be said that he and Mao have different personalities. If Mao were here, he would never care whether he would be looked down upon by the younger children.
The thirteen-year-old girl's name was Zhi. She was a girl who was slightly smaller than her peers. Although she was a year younger than Mai and did not have a size advantage, she did not seem to be afraid of Mai at all and stood confidently opposite Mai.
Sometimes being small is a disadvantage, but sometimes it's an advantage.
Zhi is the kind of person who knows how to make good use of her petite size, turning her physical disadvantage into an advantage in agility and speed.
The melee quickly began, with Mai and Zhi rushing towards each other at the same time, and Nan and Jiang Luoluo also heading towards each other.
Although it was a chaotic battle, everyone prioritized targeting the person they considered the strongest, without any thought of eliminating the "weak" first.
Mai and Zhi's idea was simple. Although they had seen Jiang Luoluo's training and knew that Jiang Luoluo was very strong, there was still a three or four-year age gap between them.
The age gap is not so easy to erase, and the extra three or four years of training time in between are not for nothing.
The same applies to Nan. Even though Nan's physique is not only not weak, but can also have some advantages, the age difference is enough for them to lower the level of threat Nan poses.
Jiang Luoluo and Nan's thinking was even simpler. Jiang Luoluo lost to Nan by a narrow margin last time. As long as she couldn't beat Nan again, it didn't really matter who she won against.
Nan also wanted to solidify his position—Mai and Zhi had the advantage of age, and if they were the same age, they would definitely not be a match for Nan. Nan was confident in this and therefore did not take them seriously.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo, who is the same age as Nan and whose strength is comparable to Nan's, became Nan's only target and the only opponent that Nan acknowledged.
If Nan wants to consolidate his gains, he needs to defeat Jiang Luoluo again and keep repeating this victory in order to secure his position as the "boss".
As soon as they started fighting, Jiang Luoluo noticed that Nan's strength had increased significantly. Such physical talent was truly enviable.
Because he doesn't even need to put in much effort to easily reach a level that others can't.
Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo hadn't been completely stagnant. She easily blocked Nan's punch and countered with an elbow strike. The two then engaged in a simple and brutal fistfight.
The sound of banging and hitting made one's eyelids twitch.
The battle between the veins and branches is a bit more complex and offers more to watch.
The vein doesn't have any particularly obvious advantages or disadvantages. When facing branches that rely on speed and agility, it's not very good at finding weaknesses in the branches, but it's also not so easily controlled by them.
They usually need to interact in several directions before they can exchange blows briefly. Once they realize they've been caught in the pulse, they'll create distance again to find an advantageous opportunity for their next attack.
However, this was ultimately a free-for-all, rather than a one-on-one battle between two groups of individuals.
This chaotic battle wasn't just between the four of them; it also involved the smaller, more isolated groups fighting on the outer edge.
After all, they are still young children, and it would be difficult for them to take into account their surroundings if they were to actually fight.
So either they accidentally wandered into the melee area of others, or others accidentally joined their melee.
Not everyone can get away in time, and no one is given time to react, rest, or start over.
As the fight went on, Jiang Luoluo's opponent suddenly changed from Nan to Zhi, then to a little stone mountain child she didn't know very well, and then back to Nan.
Turning around again, it became Mai again. Before they could even exchange blows, Mai suddenly dodged, avoiding another child's attack.
In the blink of an eye, Nan and Zhi attacked together in front of her. Before Jiang Luoluo could retaliate, she saw the two people attacking at the same time, and she managed to launch an attack on each other.
The three attacks landed on each other simultaneously.
The main theme is "No one gets away with anything."
When chaos erupts, it becomes difficult to discern who the enemy in front of you actually is.
All they knew was that everyone else standing there was an enemy, and no one cared where their opponent was anymore.
Victory is achieved by defeating everyone in front of you until there is no one left in front of you.
Jiang Luoluo threw her final punch with all her might. Her vision was obscured by sweat, dust, dirt, and some bloodstains. She waited warily for a long time, but the next attack did not come.
She hesitated for a moment before wiping the dirt from one eye and saw a group of people lying in front of her—she was the only one still standing in this circle.
In other words, she was the ultimate victor.
Even if she herself didn't know how she won, she did stand until the end and didn't fall.
