Yu Su noticed that when Yu Feng appeared, the wild man entered a vigilant state, body slightly bowed, resembling a wild beast in the wilderness, staring at the enemy, ready to attack at any moment.
"Wait," Yu Su had to speak to break the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
"Uncle Feng, he's the person I rescued and also the owner of that cave."
Yu Feng, surprised, loosened his spear.
Although the wild man didn't bow again, his eyes remained fixed on Yu Feng.
Yu Feng assessed the wild man, his gaze turning sharp. "He looks like a wild person from the wilderness."
"What's a wild person from the wilderness?"
"It's someone without a tribe, wandering in the wilderness. These people are particularly fierce and won't reason with you."
The wild man sensed Yu Feng speaking ill of him and snarled aggressively.
Yu Feng tightened the spear once again.
Yu Su sighed.
This wild man was saved by him, and now that he was the owner of the cave, Yu Su couldn't just drive him away from his territory.
Moreover, night was approaching, and staying overnight in the wilderness was dangerous.
"I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he comes back with us."
Yu Feng observed the wild man's injuries, hesitated briefly, then agreed.
Yu Su warned the wild man to behave or be driven into the wilderness for the night.
This time, the wild man didn't snarl but followed Yu Su closely.
Yu Su walked, and he walked; Yu Su stopped, and he stopped.
Yu Su: "..."
**
"Wild man?"
"I disagree."
Yu Su brought a wild man back, and everyone curiously gathered around.
The shaman opposed, claiming that wild people from the wilderness were dangerous and must be driven away.
Yu Su didn't bother arguing and casually broke off a large rock from the mountain wall with his bare hands, crushing it to powder.
"If he dares to do anything, I'll twist his head off."
"..."
Everyone looked at the powder on the ground and swallowed nervously.
What would happen if it were a human head?
In the face of absolute strength, all dangers were mere clouds.
The shaman's face turned dark, feeling uneasy. Yu Su's power grew day by day, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, increasingly uncomfortable.
He had used witchcraft to secretly curse Yu Su, but it had no effect.
Was he going to be suppressed by Yu Su in the future?
After crushing the stone, Yu Su glanced at the wild man, expecting him to stop following. Instead, the wild man, undeterred, stared at Yu Su with shining eyes.
Yu Su was once again speechless.
Did this guy have a problem with his brain?
Unable to comprehend the wild man's thought process, Yu Su simply gave up.
**
They lit a fire in the cave and settled for dinner.
Yu Feng arranged for someone to keep watch, and others rested.
Yu Su didn't sleep; he was teaching Yu Meng to open his senses. Yu Meng was currently the only one who sensed the presence of spiritual energy and had the most potential. Yu Su valued him greatly, teaching him with particular seriousness.
While teaching, the wild man sat nearby, quietly watching.
Yu Su didn't avoid him, mainly because he believed the guy wouldn't understand.
"Like this... and like this... Understand?"
"Brother Yu Su, I seem to understand, but also seem not to."
Scratching his head, Yu Meng looked at Yu Su with a disappointed and apologetic expression.
Yu Su, sincerely encouraging, said, "It's okay. You're already the most talented. Work a little harder, and you'll definitely get it."
"I won't give up!" Despite being a bit slow, Yu Meng had a good attitude towards learning.
Yu Su found it somewhat comforting.
In the second half of the night, Yu Su took over the watch from Yu Feng. Bored, he meditated, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air to continue impacting the unopened acupoints.
The wild man sat nearby, imitating him by crossing his legs and closing his eyes.
Yu Su glanced at him, thinking he was just a shadow bug learning from others, doing everything they did.
Suddenly, he felt a disturbance in the spiritual energy in the air. It was converging toward the wild man, rushing into the acupoints he had already opened, aiding in opening the unopened ones. About an hour later, Yu Su heard a subtle sound.
Opening his eyes in disbelief, Yu Su looked at the wild man.
Could it be that this guy really understood what he was saying?
The spiritual energy rushed into the wild man's chest, into the acupoints, and after a while, Yu Su heard a faint popping sound.
Yu Su couldn't help but widen his eyes. Did it succeed?
After careful identification, the absorbed spiritual energy was of the same kind, indicating that this guy, if not possessing a single spiritual root, had at least an exceptionally robust main spiritual root, rendering other minor roots negligible.
Amazed, Yu Su quickly calmed down. This guy indeed had good talent, likely related to the acupoints he accidentally opened. Compared to Yu Meng and the others, he had a preliminary advantage.
