The thought flashed through Qiao Ji's mind. Under his astonished gaze, Robin had already stopped beside the massive boulder.

Mike also found it strange. This was the first time he had heard Robin speak since they arrived, and he couldn't fathom what she was intending to do! Was she planning to inspect the stone's authenticity with her own eyes?

The idea seemed preposterous, yet at that moment, Robin's next movement stunned everyone again.

Behold, Robin suddenly tensed her body and, with a single hand, grasped the three-hundred-pound boulder!

Heavens, was she going to try lifting it too?

"You want to lift it? That thing is heavy. Even I can't lift it!" Obo suddenly interjected.

Before exerting force, Robin glanced at Obo, her expression conveying a silent question: Is it really that heavy?

"Little friend, why don't you try a smaller one first? That one over there..." Qiao Ji's voice abruptly cut off, as if something had suddenly lodged in his throat.

His eyes were practically bulging out of his head. He stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded!

It wasn't just him; all the cute children were equally mesmerized, their mouths agape like baby birds awaiting food, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Following their line of sight, they saw Robin effortlessly hoist the boulder—the very one Mike had strained so much to lift—with just one hand, even swinging it slightly as if testing its weight! How, how could this be possible?

Qiao Ji's brain nearly shut down at that moment. The visual impact of the scene before him was too immense. In their tribe, Obo was considered the most gifted child; being able to lift a seventy-pound stone at such a young age already marked him as a standout among his peers.

Yet, he never imagined this visiting little girl would be so monstrously strong, grasping such a massive rock with ease using only one hand. Good heavens, what was she made of? How could she possess such terrifying strength?

One hand is different from two; without absolute power, it’s impossible to grip such a heavy boulder, or so Qiao Ji believed. He couldn't think of anyone in his tribe who could accomplish such a feat!

Monstrous, truly monstrous!

If this weren't the elementary classroom, Qiao Ji would have sworn the boulder in Robin's hand was just a prop!

At this moment, Mike was also staring at Robin as if she were a creature from myth. He had been too focused on Zhong Shenxiu earlier to pay much attention to Robin. He never expected this little girl to be so deceptively capable, possessing such formidable strength. Who exactly was she, and which tribe did she belong to?

He was acutely aware of the boulder’s weight because he had tested it himself just moments ago, which only amplified his shock!

As for the child named Obo, he was utterly awestruck. He could never have imagined that this seemingly delicate little girl possessed greater strength than him. How had she trained?

He could no longer find any excuses. Robin had just demonstrated to him, through sheer power, what true prowess looked like!

It was at this moment he finally grasped the meaning of "There is always someone better."

However, the astonishment of these people was premature, as Robin had not even begun yet. She was merely gauging the stone’s weight.

It was no exaggeration to say Robin could have used this boulder as a projectile weapon; it presented no challenge to her whatsoever!

Then, Robin slightly exerted the muscles in her small arms, and the boulder in her hand soared into the air.

It ascended about five meters before dropping, only to be caught steadily by Robin, who then tossed it up again, repeating the motion as if it were a mere ball!

Everyone witnessing this, adults and children alike, nearly stopped breathing. The shock they experienced was too profound; it seemed to overturn the known limits of humanity!

Perhaps finding it dull, Robin played with the boulder for a moment before gently placing it back on the ground. She then uttered a line that nearly sent everyone collapsing: "A bit too light!"

Silence. The only sound in the entire classroom was the faint whisper of the breeze.

Everyone present stood motionless, as if their souls had momentarily departed their bodies! For these people, this was an event more bizarre than anything they could imagine; the stimulus was intense for everyone!

Robin was long accustomed to the horrified expressions of those around her. She stood calmly beside Zhong Shenxiu, utterly unperturbed, as if nothing unusual had happened.

While this was a monumental event for them, for Robin, it was as ordinary as breathing.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shenxiu’s gaze remained fixed on the enormous "Wind Cry Stone" tucked away in the distant corner. Sensing the sudden quiet atmosphere, he drew his gaze back and asked calmly, "Who is in charge around here?"

It seemed he was about to take action!

"Wh-what?" Qiao Ji only managed to respond after a long pause.

"Do you sell the stones here?" Zhong Shenxiu asked directly. Clearly, Qiao Ji hadn't grasped Zhong Shenxiu's intent. It was hard to blame him; right after the shock from the 'God of Bell,' Zhong Shenxiu suddenly uttered something so cryptic. Anyone would be slow to react!

Having no choice, Zhong Shenxiu repeated his question.

"You, you want to buy these stones?" Qiao Ji looked at Zhong Shenxiu in disbelief.

In truth, Zhong Shenxiu only truly desired one specific stone, but since Qiao Ji had asked, he didn't feel the need to elaborate and simply nodded!

Qiao Ji was momentarily unsure what to do and quickly looked toward Mike, his gaze clearly asking if this child was joking. If they were talking about buying some of their tribal specialties, he might have believed it, but these incredibly heavy stones were useless except for practice, and besides, stones like these could be found everywhere. To say he wanted to buy them was simply too absurd!

Not only was Qiao Ji perplexed, but even Mike, standing next to Zhong Shenxiu, found it very strange. If Zhong Shenxiu hadn't been his brother-in-law, he would have asked why he wanted these stones! He, too, suspected Zhong Shenxiu was making a joke.

But soon, neither of them thought so anymore!

Because Zhong Shenxiu had pulled out a bag of Diamond Coins from his magic ring, which glittered so dazzlingly and enchantingly under the sunlight!

In a small tribe like this, merely seeing a gold coin was a rare event. Now, suddenly confronted with so many Diamond Coins, the two were dumbstruck once again.

Compared to them, the children, having never seen Diamond Coins before, were not as shocked. Instead, they curiously asked what these beautiful stones were.

"You really plan to buy these stones?" Qiao Ji’s breathing grew rapid. To be honest, this was the first time in his life he had ever seen so much money!

A monstrous little girl with infinite strength, and a mighty young man with endless wealth—heavens, who exactly were these two people?

Though Qiao Ji grew increasingly curious, now was not the time to pry. He quickly turned to Obo, who was still studying Robin, and commanded, "Obo, go call your grandfather, tell him it's urgent business!"

Obo's grandfather was the village chief. Qiao Ji dared not make such a significant decision on his own. Moreover, the boulder in the corner was left by their ancestors and held immense sentimental value!

Obo, being obedient, turned and left to fetch his grandfather.

By this time, the children had clustered around Robin, chattering incessantly. They wanted to know how she gained such strength, what she ate daily, and how she trained, among other things!

Robin answered intermittently, not displaying the same enthusiasm as the children.

"Can, can I see your hand?" A little girl slightly younger than Robin asked, her face flushed, looking at Robin with unconcealed yearning.

Robin nodded and extended her hand.

"Ah, so small!" The girl took Robin’s hand and examined it closely, even comparing it to her own.

"I want to see too! I want to see too!" The other children scrambled forward, unafraid that Robin might accidentally fling them away with a sudden movement. Just as the children were clamoring endlessly, Obo returned, leading an elderly man in his sixties!

"Obo, where is this strongman you mentioned?" the old man asked cheerfully, squinting as he looked around, failing to spot the figure he had imagined.

"Village Chief, you've arrived!" Qiao Ji stepped forward to greet him.

"This child told me you needed to see me urgently about some strongman, and I’m still confused about what he’s talking about," the elder said with a fond, slightly exasperated look toward Obo.

"Grandpa, the strong one is her," Obo said, pointing at Robin with his finger to show his grandfather.

The elder had already noticed the two strangers, Zhong Shenxiu and Robin, but he never expected the strong person his grandson mentioned to be a little girl!

He knew his grandson well; Obo was exceptionally talented, a rarity in the tribe in a hundred years, and always the old man's pride. He also knew his grandson was fiercely competitive and never admitted defeat. He never imagined Obo would claim to have met someone stronger than himself today! And that person turned out to be this young girl before him?

"Did these two children return with that girl, Xia Luo?" the elder asked, stroking his white beard. Despite his age, he was aware of certain matters!

"Yes!" Qiao Ji nodded, then continued, "Village Chief, I called you here because I need to discuss something with you?"

"What is it?"

"That young boy said he wants to buy the stones here?"

"Buy stones?" The elder was also startled, looking toward Zhong Shenxiu, who was at that moment assessing him!

Just then, Zhong Shenxiu walked over, a smile of absolute certainty playing on his lips!

If one were to calculate roughly, nothing that Zhong Shenxiu set his sights on had ever slipped from his grasp! Sigh!
