At the bottom of the hill, a few children around the age of ten quickly ran up.
"Trash, it's this trash that caused me to faint and lose the chance to participate in the magic initiation." The child who had insulted Yun Sheng in the temple earlier pointed at Yun Sheng with a red face.
"You're the little trash Yun Sheng, the daughter of that fake magician? Grandpa Village Chief kindly let you stay in Banana Leaf Village, but you actually dared to bully my brother. Kneel down, kowtow to him, apologize, and hand over a silver coin. Then, I'll let you go. "The one who spoke was an arrogant youth. Behind him stood a few other youths of the same age.
Unlike the ordinary children in Banana Leaf Village, the youth who spoke was wearing a brown training uniform. This indicated that he was a martial arts student from the town's martial arts center.
The temple and martial arts center were the most basic facilities on the Boundless Continent. Every country had a branch temple from the village to the capital, and a martial arts center at the city level. When the children in the country reached the age of three, regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they could sign up for the magic initiation at the temple and the physical fitness test at the martial arts center.
Those who passed the test could enjoy a living allowance from the country, which was equivalent to a modern day public expense student. However, these two had nothing to do with Yun Sheng.
This was because Yun Sheng was trash. She was born unable to practice martial arts and had failed three magic initiation tests. Because of this, she was often ridiculed by the children in the village.
Those who ridiculed her would always mysteriously faint or feel unwell, so no one dared to bully her directly.
The elder brother of the boy who had provoked Yun Sheng in the temple was called Lei Hu. He was one of the few youths in the village who had been sent to the town's martial arts center to practice martial arts. He was also the leader of the children in the village.
He had left home last year to practice martial arts and had just returned home a few days ago.
This morning, when he found out that his brother had missed this year's magic initiation test because of Yun Sheng, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He brought a few of his close friends to find Yun Sheng.
The martial arts students from the town level Martial Arts Dojo had all practiced martial arts. This little girl had only practiced the basic absorption and expiration method, so she was unable to protect herself. She was afraid that she would be at a disadvantage.
Under the tree, the young man's beautiful lips pursed. He lazily raised his hand and a few emerald leaves fell into his hand.
Yun Sheng's eyelids drooped, and her eyelashes covered the light in her eyes. Her cherry-colored lips burst out with a single word, "Get lost!"
As she spoke, she exerted strength in her legs. Her petite body was like a taut spring as she suddenly leaped towards Lei Hu. Her fist landed solidly on Lei Hu's face.
Lei Hu did not expect her to hit him so easily. He also did not expect that a trash who could not practice martial arts would have such skills. Caught off guard, he was sent flying. His mouth was filled with a fishy liquid.
Martial arts students were indeed martial arts students. They had undergone specialized combat training. Although he was hit unexpectedly, Lei Hu immediately regained his senses. He roared, and a brownish-yellow Battle Aura surged out of his body. His back arched high, and his eyes flashed with a green light. He had transformed into a hungry dog.
His strong limbs pulled back in mid-air, forcibly stopping his momentum of landing. His movements sped up several times, and like a hungry dog, he pounced towards Yun Sheng with the force of crushing rocks.
"Hmm? This is a martial arts student who has learned basic martial arts. His strength is enough to crush rocks. She's probably at a disadvantage. "In the young man's hand, a few green leaves were injected with a gust of Gang Qi. The leaves immediately became taut like flying knives.
Just as he was about to throw them, the young man's ears twitched slightly, and his hands stopped moving.
On the hillside, Yun Sheng also sensed the change in Lei Hu's body. Her pupils constricted, and a faint golden light floated out.
In her eyes, Lei Hu's lightning-fast movements were broken down into a few slow movements like a slow-motion movie.
Yun Sheng's mind moved slightly, and a beast bone needle appeared at her fingertips. She had repeated the same mistake again, and there was a limit to her patience.
Just as Yun Sheng and Lei Hu were about to collide head-on, there was a loud splash of water.
In the small river below the hillside, two streams of water vapor rose up like spiritual snakes. The water vapor condensed into water droplets in the air, and the water droplets quickly transformed into two water balls. The water balls were like two cannonballs, smashing onto Yun Sheng and Lei Hu. The two of them were instantly drenched by the water balls.
"Both of you, stop!" When the water balls landed, an old man with a wide mouth and a lion's face appeared on the hillside with a magic staff in his hand. Like an eagle catching chicks, he grabbed Yun Sheng and Lei Hu by their collars and separated them.
The moment the old man appeared, the children on the hillside immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
"Grandpa Village Chief." When Lei Hu saw the old man, he immediately lost his earlier awe-inspiring aura and loosened his fist, admitting that he was unlucky.
The village chief of Banana Leaf Village was an old man in his sixties. Everyone in the village respected him because he was not only the village chief, but also one of the few people in Banana Leaf Village who was proficient in two types of magic. He was a sorcerer.
In the Boundless Land, people who knew how to use magic elements would be given various titles of sorcerer.
Those who had received magic enlightenment and could sense at least one type of magic element were magic apprentices.
Above magic apprentices were sorcerers.
Sorcerers could store at least one type of magic element in their body and use beginner level magic to attack or defend.
In the Boundless Land, the number of people who could sense magic elements was about one percent.
As for sorcerers, the ratio was even less than one in a thousand.
Most sorcerers could only sense one type of magic element. There might not even be one in ten thousand people who could sense two types of magic elements.
The village chief of Banana Leaf Village was a water and wind sorcerer who served in the army in his early years.
After he retired, he retired and returned to his hometown to take up the position of village chief.
"Lei Hu, as a registered martial arts student, you actually bullied a little girl who is younger than you and doesn't know martial arts. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?" The village chief happened to be looking for Yun Sheng. He had watched Yun Sheng grow up and knew that at this time every day, the little girl must have run to the hillside of the village to take an "afternoon nap."
Who knew that when he approached, he would hear the sound of fighting.
"I didn't bully her, Grandpa Village Chief. She, she is very powerful." Lei Hu had to admit that Yun Sheng's reaction was stronger than any of his peers in the martial arts hall.
Lei Hu was indignant. He pointed at Yun Sheng, but when he saw Yun Sheng's expression, he was dumbfounded.
"Grandpa Village Chief." The little girl who had been glaring at him covetously a moment ago was now teary-eyed. She pouted and looked pitiful as if she had been "severely bullied."
Not only Lei Hu, but even the unfamiliar youth under the banyan tree couldn't help but smile after hearing Yun Sheng's "complaint."
"Lei Hu, you're still quibbling." The village chief had a headache. He grabbed Lei Hu's hand and waved the magic bone staff in his hand. A light green wind elemental power turned into a rope and tied Lei Hu up.
Lei Hu only felt his body lighten as he was thrown down the hillside. "You only come home once every three months. If you don't want to be punished by confinement, go home immediately. The next time I see you bullying Yun Sheng, I will confiscate one month of your allowance."
Lei Hu didn't dare to say anything else. He could only leave with a face full of resentment.
"Yun Sheng, if anyone bullies you again, come and tell Grandpa Village Chief." The village chief put down Yun Sheng lovingly and patted her head.
As the village chief, he shouldn't be overly biased towards a child in the village. However, Yun Sheng was about the same age as his granddaughter, but she was far more obedient and sensible than the other children in the village.
She learned how to do housework at the age of three, and could read and write at the age of four. She was also the one who took care of the Yun family's herbal field.
Her father was mocked as a fake sorcerer, and the children in the village kept finding fault with her, but she never cried or made a fuss.
How did such a child end up with such a father? The village chief's stern face couldn't help but show some pity.
"Grandpa Village Chief, are you looking for me?" Yun Sheng shrunk her little head. She wasn't used to the village chief's overly affectionate behavior.
