Chapter. 9.
The sky is dark. The sun was covered with mist and clusters of black clouds. The rainwater slapped Li Wei in the face. Pain is felt when entering between the eyes.Yang Shao and Wang Yan, the know-how has been in sight. The distance is only about one spear. The faces of the two teenagers are no longer fierce. Evil!Li Wei heard Wang Yang speak in a cold voice between the gurgling rainwater. It was harder than rain back then."Niece of the maid! I heard news. You are now a student at the Pigeon Trail School. And they said, 'You challenged me to a duel? Arrogant!" Wang Yan's face looked bad. He still holds grudges - old events.Chen Xin, the girl, cut off relations with him completely. Someone gave me the news. Wang Yan, with Yang Shao, tortured Li Wei after a night of performance in the past.That said, Li Wei almost died.Wang Yan was angry."You are of despicable despicable. How dare to interfere with my love affairs with Miss Chen Xin." It's a demon."Don't call me Wang Yan, otherwise take your life today!" Wang Yang turned into a demon.Buk! His kick hit Li Wei's solar plexus just right.Li Wei sat down. Complaining is useless.The rain is getting heavier; the streets feel deserted. No one flashed by. This is Wang Yan and Yang Shao's opportunity to act arbitrarily.There were no eyewitnesses.Yang Shao lifted Li Wei's body. He crossed Li Wei's two hands between the heavy rain, locking back. Then Wang Yan was free, feasting on torturing the child.This is not fair—two children against one child.Fists kicks, and punches barrage Wang Yan's Huram. Li Wei was exhausted. Yang Shao just chuckled. His bubbling voice resonated, defeating the noisy gurgling rain."W-what are you guys doing? I-I'm not guilty at all." Li Wei begged for mercy.Wang Yan was ruthless."Did you say? Innocent? Did you know? As a result of your impudence, the bond that our aristocratic family expected with Miss Chen Xin's noble family is over.The door to the relationship has been closed. All because of your actions!" Wang Yang's voice was booming. He was even more possessed."Now, please answer.Is this act of revenge, this is not worth doing?You are lucky. It wasn't my father and his accomplices who intervened.If they take a step, the battery is convinced. Even your aunt is that lowly maid; it has long been a corpse!"Wang Yan drew out the dagger. His face was violent. The blade was aimed at Li Wei's abdomen. No matter the victim, it looks increasingly crummy.Yang Shao chuckled along. Instead of feeling pity, he repeatedly heated up."Kill!"Wang Yan hasn't acted yet. But Yang Shao incited even more. The whisper is like a demon."Is this young Master Wang Yan, now so timid? The life of the flight attendant's niece, this is worthless. Even if it dies, no one will object!" A sly face decorated Yang Shao's look.But Wang Yan hasn't flinched yet.Li Wei is getting more and more exhausted. Those fists, barrage kicks made it difficult for him to concentrate. The world looks full of stars in his eyes."Maybe it's my fate, today must die. I'm sorry mom and dad. Not yet a significant figure, but already have to leave this mortal world." He looked up at the sky. Tears merged with raindrops.But all the sadness faded. Yang Shao said a word he couldn't forgive."Now point out the dagger. This kid is nothing more than garbage dirt. His family origin needs to be clarified.His mother was a street prostitute, and his father was a war criminal. It's worth no more than a bunch of trash!" Li Wei gasped.But Yang Shao still needs to be satisfied!"Finish off his life lowly. Recapture Miss Chen Xin's sympathy!" Yang Shao slandered. He deliberately encouraged Wang Yan to end Li Wei's life.Yang Shao's demon whisper blinded Wang Yan. The dagger was held high. Ready to tear Li Wei's chest.Instead, Li Wei's ears rang. Yang Shao's insulting words angered him. Slander about prostitutes and war criminals, he could not forgive.Suddenly, Li Wei's mind was clear. There was a spinning energy that he had never felt. His eyes lit up; there was a flash of fire. Wang Yan had seen the spark, but the strange moment faded quickly.The dagger was stabbed, ready to split Li Wei's chest. In the cold rain, the murder was not premeditated, prepared for him to do.But...Instantly, the look in Wang Yan's eyes turned to horror. His chest suddenly hurts. The heat is like a burning fire.Li Wei's palm touched his chest. Not hard. Nor is the movement of a punch. But the hand was fiery red. There were sparks, occasionally seen on the little arrow.Buk!Wang Yan fell to kiss the ground. He didn't make a sound at all. With the clink of knives, a shrill sound hit the bridge floor. Splashes of water rushed everywhere.Yang Shao has been sitting on the bridge. Since just now, his active hands locked Li Wei's two hands, suddenly blistered. Li Wei's hands turned into flames.Yang Shao cried. He was frightened to see Wang Yan die with one touch.Now with a look of horror, he stared at the Jeri; Li Wei twisted the body, looking dramatic. Li Wei's hands were burning full of fire. He seems like the God of fire in the rainy season.Firebender! It's magic that is only inherited by the Sage—a half-immortal human."M-I'm sorry. Please don't kill me." That's all Yang Shao can say.CONTINUEDChapter 10. "I-I can explain everything...Please don't kill me. This is Wang Yan's wiles." Yang Shao was pale, his hands pointing fingers at the rigid figure.Yang Shao added a sad impression. He burst into tears. His behaviour before was like an adult. Vile and evil. But now he looks like a 14-year-old boy. The arrogance and cruelty are gone.Thunderous lightning, lightning flashed. The rainwater was getting heavier and heavier, but the gurgling sound did not block the killing intent in Li Wei's heart. Inexplicably, something dark energy surrounded his mind; it made him turn cruel.Li Wei came forward, stepping two ways, getting closer and closer to Yang Shao.The child howled even more. Afraid of Wang Yan's similar incident befalling him. But his voice was submerged in the gurgling rain, bouncing over Yunxiu Qiao's bridge.Li Wei whispered. Almost inaudible at all."Hopefully in your future life, reincarnate into a better person."Yang Shao glared. The charade of pretending to be
Chapter 11. Li Wei walked into the courtyard of the Pigeon Path Martial School silently. He infiltrated, passing other students who were practicing hand-to-hand martial arts."I didn't see Huo Zhi and Ling Feng among the students practicing hand-to-hand." He circulated a look from behind the wall of the school hall. The primary purpose is the library, open to practice martial arts on this day."The mystery of why I have the power to burn the two children who always bully me must be solved today.I want to know. Am I someone with the Firebender Quirk, a rare ability of past Sages?" Li Wei was very curious.Before long. Li Wei was staring at the signboard on the building that said 'Library.'"It's so lucky. The door of the library is wide open." Li Wei opened the library door cautiously. Although there are few visitors, at least ten young people are diligently reading there."Hand over your student token, let me record it. After that, you are free to choose what books you read." The h
Chapter 12. Li Wei rushed into his room. He began to turn through page after page of the Tome- History of the Sages. When reading the first page, his face still looked ordinary. But the more to the middle page of the book, the more stunned Li Wei became.The features and all the traces of fighting written on it are similar to the relics of burns suffered by Yang Shao and Wang Yan - on Yunxiu Bridge last time. "So I now have the talent of a fire bender?" Li Wei was unbelievably excited.He closed the copy."Unfortunately, to become a fire bender expert, I won't get it at the Pigeon Line school in Shuimiao City. This is just a mere hometown class school. In order to collect Nebula energy, the special energy of the Elementalist controller, Only in the Magic Academy in the Capital of Terra Country alone, there are teachers training fire-control talents and practicing cultivating that Nebula Energy. They are future Sage candidates."Li Wei became agitated. The desire to change cities, and
Chapter 13. Li Wei sat in front of Mr. Erkin. The man appears to be holding tarot cards commonly worn by fortune tellers. Mr. Erkin shuffled, and the sound of a faint wind rustling sounded.He asked Li Wei to choose two cards."What's your name, your age, and place of birth? And we'll see how this card speaks." He stared seriously."My name is Li Wei, 14 years old. The birthplace of Shuimiao Town." Li Wei replied firmly.Smile."I guessed it. You are still a teenager." Mr. Erkin said."Now take one card, and your future will be revealed."Li Wei chose a card at random."Continue to take the second card!" Mr. Erkin ordered. Li Wei followed the instructions.There was a moment of silence.Mr. Erkin opened the card, 'frown!' Time passed in one blink."Well, let's take a look at the second card." He opened the second card.Blam!Mr. Erkin's eyes widened. He gawked."I-this is impossible." The man blinked his eyes repeatedly. At the same time, Li Wei was instantly agitated. The child beca
Chapter 14. Li Wei shut himself down for days in the room. He practiced himself, cultivating Nebula energy, which harnesses natural energy into magic power.Whenever Aunt Wei Fang knocked on the door of his room, Li Wei always said."I'm not hungry yet. Just put the food at the door, it will all be toilet when my stomach growls later."Wei Fang grumbled. After putting down Li Wei's food, he went to the Lotus Blossom Tea Room."Work awaits, and money will flow. Hard work, O Wei Fang!"On the other hand, I think Wei Fang should have paid attention to everything. Every time she finished with the maid work in the Tea Room, the woman checked Li Wei's room.She was relieved when he found an empty plate at the room door."Luckily the moronic boy finished the food I prepared. Just try it if he dares not to touch my cooking." Wei Fang passed, walked into the room, and rested.The incident repeatedly occurred for up to two weeks. During that period, Li Wei stayed in the room.But today, everyt
Chapter 15. On a clear morning, the sun was warm, and the light flashed between the peach leaves in the forest in the northern part of Shuimiao City.Li Wei walked through the forest, hoping to find his needed resources. This forest is not as scary as many people say. Along the way, he only encountered small creatures such as rabbits. In all of them, the beast is docile, unafraid of it."According to Mr. Erkin's instructions, those plants are all in the heart of the forest. Although it is risky to encounter the master rangers of the Spring Fortress, but I have no other choice."Li Wei kept walking, and until noon approached, the forest animals he encountered. There is no such creature as a magical beast or spiritual creature, especially the masters of the spring fortress, as many people say.Suddenly, the voice was teasing."Is it a gurgling water?" Li Wei, who was thirsty, looked for the source of the gurgling water.Soon,"Ah... What a clear river water." He drank, as well as exerc
Chapter 16. On the banks of fast-flowing rivers, in the mystical Forest of peaches, the man and Dryad – the tree spirit – seemed to converse. The dryer was kindly spoken."My name is Verna. I am Dryad, the spirit of this Peach Forest tree. Tell me about it. How could you be tricked by that evil nymph." Verna asked when Li Wei had come to his senses.Li Wei's eyes widened."Sister, you are a tree spirit? Dryad I mean," Li Wei asked in surprise.Verna smiled softly."Peach tree spirit that is 500 years old, that's exactly it." Verna replied, and Li Wei was even more fascinated. "Sangkaku, that kind of spirit only exists in fairy tales."Can't believe it.Immediately after his shock, Li Wei explained in detail his intention to come to the Peach Forest.Verna listened diligently. The eyes are clear; her face looks like an 18-year-old girl. If he hadn't mentioned that he was a tree spirit, Li Wei would have thought the girl was a natural person."So you are looking for Basil Leaf split in
Chapter 17. The trip with Verna made Li Wei sober. The more in the middle of the forest, the more various plants grow. It's not just Peach trees. Rows of Fir Trees are also produced in a row, not to be outdone by Peaches.The noisy sounds of animals, some of which are wild animals, echoed in the air. It beats the rustling sound of leaves and treetops blowing in the wind."We have arrived." Verna said, pointing to the front.Li Wei was silent. He was fascinated, in disbelief at his vision.In front of him is a herbal garden full of grass, well maintained. Garden fences are made of wild shrubs full of flowers. There is even a swing in the middle of the park. Li Wei was interested in glancing at the contents of the garden. The flowers in the garden were full of colorful colors, even colors that Li Wei had never seen before.The thick floral fragrance wafted out, making Li Wei feel floating."I suspect it's in the garden, full of magical and rare plants. The fragrance is so sweet." Li We
The night was cold. The sound of rustling leaves came from the North and South of the Peaceful Forest, bringing anxiety. The Mulberry Forest in the North, or the Spruce Forest in the South. Against the fighters of the Order of No Fear, or against the Order of All Star. Curse monsters, or Envy monsters.The noise and clamor of the fighters' shouts could be heard in the distance, as they hunters and fighters began to take on the challenge monsters in the Resource War event. The faintly audible sound of clashing swords made my heart ache."I have to decide quickly. Curse, or Envy?" Li Wei thought quickly as the time had passed one minute since the battle against the monsters started. He thought about getting high damage in the event of killing monsters in this war."Nearest distance!" Li Wei instantly flashed quickly and disappeared in the darkness of the night. The Mulberry Forest was the closest. That meant "Curse!"With the agility attribute affecting Agility worth 7, for a fighter in
Spot in the Peaceful Forest, the forest area where Li Wei and Zeng Dai were was actually very quiet. Only Mulberri trees with the sound of the wind could be heard on that lonely night. The number of rewards that the system released per fifteen minutes was not as much as in the spots that were bustling with crowds of fighters and hunters on standby there.However, because it was a lonely spot in a creepy place with strange sounds. Hence only Li Wei was interested there. As a result, the amount of rewards from the system he received was much greater than in the abundant spots, although they were also filled with fighters.Not to mention the risk of looting and sneak attacks from behind that could lead to death, which always lurked in those crowded spots.This caused envy in the heart of Zeng Dai, the long-sworded Warrior of the Order of No Fear.On this first floor, there were five famous fighters who were among No Fear's top five. Zeng Dai was one of the five highest combat power holde
That night, the atmosphere was very tense. All the fighters and hunters on the First Floor of the Forsaken Fortress gathered in the First Floor Square. The large courtyard with artificial grass did not invite chatter. This was a historic night; after a long time, the Resource War would be held. This war involved the issue of the limited availability of resources as rewards.Today was another historic day, as the management of the Forsaken Fortress had announced that the Peaceful Forest Manager had prepared enough resources to be the reward for successful hunters and fighters in this war.The tension was heightened when at exactly 7 p.m., the voice of a bot could be heard echoing in the Square."All Fighters, please enter the Portal Gate!"Suddenly, thousands of fighters and hunters poured through the portal gate, which looked as dark as a black hole. This portal appeared magically thanks to the power of the systems and arrays within the Fortress. Li Wei and his four companions also jo
One of the events that Fighter and Hunter alike look forward to in Forsaken Fortress is the Resource War.The difference with the World Boss event was significant.When the World Boss event takes place, all the Hunters and Fighters work together and do not attack each other. In the Resource War, on the other hand, it's a war between Orders. All the Fighters gather in the center of the safe area and wait for the door to the safe area to open. When the doors are opened, the real war will begin.Brutal battles were allowed.At that time, the Artificial Forest would provide many scattered resources without an owner. Fruit, medicinal plants, herbal materials, and spiritual materials were abundant along the forest path. The task of a Fighter or Hunter was to open the box by using magic or with attack power. Inside the box are various rewards as mentioned earlier.Looting will occur everywhere.Although resources are plentiful, this does not stop the greed of individuals from robbing. The sa
The soft smell of morning air filled their lungs along the Iron Road. The smell of the dew-soaked ground and withered leaves, as well as the falling cherry blossoms, raised the spirits of all the individuals on the first floor of the Forsaken Fortress.Li Wei stood in front of a workshop building with a signboard that read 'Aifuyu Forge Workshop!' in large letters. He was just about to push open the gate when it suddenly shifted and opened from the inside.NGIIIK!The sound of metal scraping was deafening. Someone emerged from inside, like a child surprised to see a customer on a morning like this."Mr. Li? You really came early this morning," Aifuyu said with a smile, as if she could read Li Wei's impatience to see the results of the Green Grade shoe forging and repair.Li Wei lied and answered casually. "Actually, I was about to go to the Arena. But at the crossroads, I thought, why don't I stop by for a while to see the shoes I ordered at this workshop," Li Wei said with a flushed
The room of the Temple of the Fallen Angel was still full of flying dust, the remnants of the battle between Li Wei and Hollowscar. Moonlight and starlight finally came in through the sidelines of the windows inside the temple, creating a breathtaking scene that kept Li Wei from leaving. Something that stood out was a pinch of soft leaf green glowing on Hollowscar's feet."Green grade Boots?" Li Wei's eyes widened. "And this is a magic item, something that suits my talent as a Nebula energy controller!"Without waiting any longer, he immediately removed the spiritual boots from Hollowscar's feet."Although it looks a bit bulky, if the benefits are significant, why not give it a try?"What Li Wei had in mind was the Aifuyu Forge."I'm sure the Aifuyu Forge can resize it to fit my feet!"Li Wei stared at the shoes that were two numbers larger than his foot size.WUSH!His figure vanished in an instant, as Li Wei practiced the Running Technique. "These shoes are perfect for me!"He was s
Night had just fallen. The moon and stars hung in the eastern sky of the Forsaken Fortress. It was the perfect night to celebrate the blessings gained after successfully defeating the World Monster.Li Wei planned to celebrate his victory alone."Sitting back, savoring the wines of the western region, or perhaps tasting the black glutinous rice wine made in the eastern land, it's definitely the right choice!" thought Li Wei.In his mind's eye, he was sitting in the Blue Hawk wine house, savoring fine wine under the moonlight, feeling as if he was a legend like the Sages."Ah, how delicious it is to be able to imagine something and then make it come true," he murmured. This was happiness in itself.With a light heart, Li Wei stepped faster. Although it was just walking, the additional points of his dexterity attribute gave him a greater sense of confidence.Currently, the streets of the small town on the ground floor of the Forsaken Fortress seemed deserted. Not many people were passin
Yama stepped very carefully in the crowd of the black market. He paid no heed to the merchants trying to sell items such as low-class artifacts, amulets, or magic tools. His purpose for being there was not to shop."Hm, this is the place I was looking for," muttered Yama, when he saw a sign reading 'Grilled Meat Shop - Gorgon' looming over the crowd.With quick steps, Yama entered the shop, making sure that no one was eyeing him suspiciously. As if he was looking for something else."Safe!" he thought.Grilled Meat Tavern - Gorgon was known as one of the worst taverns in the Black Market Trading Area, especially on the ground floor or ground level of the Fortress. Not only were the dishes notoriously bad due to their strange and unfamiliar seasonings, but the waiters were notorious for behaving like thugs.They look more like bouncers than friendly and polite waiters. Although there were rarely any visitors, in fact you could count on your fingers the number of visitors in a whole day
Li Wei - Firebender.Ever since his arrival with his four friends from the Monster Slayer Guild, Li Wei had already felt the air of hostility cast by a group of youngsters, especially the group of Yama and his friends from The Hunter's Guild."I don't need to worry about what they say. I'd better focus on the world Boss that will appear later!" Li Wei tried to comfort his heart amidst the heat wave of hostility back then.However, all of a sudden, someone shouted out loud."Get ready, the Boss has appeared!""Be careful, the Vampling is a Monster that can spit out poisonous vapors. Prepare your best damage!"Li Wei flashed quickly along with hundreds of other Fighters. He tried to be at the forefront, unfortunately his agility score in the war status was only worth 'one!'Although his legs had sprinted rapidly with the Body Lightening Technique, Li Wei did not feel confident. There were still many youngsters from other guilds who could be seen running alongside him, there were even th
