The third section makes another big mistake
"Grandpa, see you later! I'm leaving first!" I said while running, and before Grandpa could say anything, I had already run out of sight.
"This little scamp!" Grandpa said with a bitter smile.
I hugged the small hawk and ran back to my room, closed the door, put the hawk on the bed, and sat down cross-legged myself. I slowly manipulated my spiritual energy and summoned the Buddha's Golden Lotus. With my current level of cultivation, I could barely summon a few strands of the Buddha's Golden Lotus. After searching through it, I finally found what I was looking for just as my spiritual energy was about to run out - a crystal ball the size of a basketball that we had somehow obtained during our "Three Calamities" rampage through the Western Divine Realm. The crystal ball was perfectly round and transparent, with a hint of magical aura, making it an excellent material for crafting a soul equipment. I first recovered my spiritual energy through meditation, then cast a soul connection spell on both the hawk and the crystal ball. This spell was a specialized soul-based technique that allowed me to project what the hawk saw onto the surface of the crystal ball - if used on the battlefield, it would make for an excellent scouting tool. After activating the spell with my thoughts, the crystal ball indeed displayed the world as seen through the hawk's eyes. Satisfied, I dispelled the spell and hid the crystal ball away, stroking the hawk's smooth feathers as I said to it, "From now on, you'll be called 'Radar'! Not that it matters, but we're not infringing on any copyrights or anything!"
"Young master, the guards in the palace are asking you to enter the palace!" The servant reported.
"Got it, I'm coming!" I instructed them to take good care of the radar and then went into the palace.
After getting off the carriage at the palace gate, I followed my aunt's two guards as we walked. As we passed a flower wall, I suddenly saw several half-grown boys surrounding two little girls by the roadside. The despicable scene from a month ago was replayed - those detestable rascals were kicking and punching them, smearing rotten mud from the roadside grass on their faces and bodies. The two little girls hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces, yet stubbornly refusing to beg for mercy! I seemed to see myself as a child being bullied by other kids - tears streaming down my face, yet stubbornly never begging for mercy! I was an orphan back then, and they're just like me now! The shared suffering ignited a nameless fury in my heart. Without considering the consequences, I let out a loud roar and charged forward: "You damned scoundrels!"
"Run! It's the young master of the Dragon family!" someone shouted. The whole group ran away.
I helped the two little girls up from the ground and wiped the mud off their faces with my hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Thank you, you can go now, they're back!" said the girl on the left.
"Just in time, I was just about to look for you all, now watch me take it out on you!" I said.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, they all came back. The leader was still Prince Wu, next to him were Shi Yuan's four wolves, and the rest were non-heir sons of the Shi family. They stopped a few meters away from me. I protected the two poor twin sisters behind me.
"You little brat, dare to interfere again? Didn't your old man beat the crap out of you last time? Hahaha!" The Fifth Prince and his cohorts burst into laughter.
"My butt is fine, but those covered in blood are crying and screaming, I don't know what happened to them!" I retorted! Wanting to argue with me? Aren't you asking for trouble?!
Several people stopped laughing immediately, and Ishihara Shi-wolf pulled out a palm-sized hand crossbow from his bosom, pointing it at me. He said fiercely, "You little brat, I want to see whether your magic is faster or my crossbow bolt is faster! If you don't want to die, kneel down and beg for mercy immediately!"
"Right, kneel down and beg us, I just need to hit you a few times with the stick to vent my anger!" The Fifth Prince said with satisfaction.
I took a look and it didn't seem good, this time he's playing big, that little brat has murder in his eyes, I'm sure he really will take action to kill me. The power of the hand crossbow I am aware of, should be able to make a hole in my body, however, if I use Taiji Fist to counterattack once, at most I'll just get injured, but my life is absolutely guaranteed to be saved. If you don't kill the wolf, there will be endless troubles! Since he's not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous, let's just take advantage of his plan and get rid of him, so as to avoid future trouble. I secretly mobilized my spiritual energy to set up a layer of Taiji aura in front of me, while continuing to provoke him: "You think you can? The only one who was utterly stupid last time?"
The two guards who brought me here, seeing that things were not going well, hastily stepped forward and said: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Young Master Long Wu is someone the Queen Mother has ordered us to bring back. We hope Your Highness will let us pass!"
"Who are you to interfere with me? Get out of here! I'll teach him a good lesson today!" The fifth prince shouted.
The two guards had no choice but to leave one behind and have the other go report to the king. I stood behind the guard, making faces at Shi Yuan's Four Wolves, intentionally trying to provoke them.
Only to see Shi Yuan Si Lang's face getting redder and redder, almost bleeding, from small to large, he has always been bullying others, but now he is at a disadvantage. A master who was used to being arrogant and domineering was suddenly beaten by me until he was in extreme pain, and when facing his arch-nemesis again, he was mocked mercilessly. The anger and pain finally made him lose his rationality, and under the attack of rage, he violently fired the crossbow. A bolt shot out, first slowed down by the Taiji aura, then deflected away from my heart by my Taiji fist, and heavily stuck in my left shoulder. Pain! I almost fainted from the pain, but I couldn't faint now. Borrowing the power of the pull, the opportunity to pull, I used the new technique I had realized during my confinement - Thunder Strike Technique, using all the spiritual energy in my body to release it together. A bright and thick lightning bolt, as big as a duck egg, heavily struck Shi Yuan Si Lang's head! The intense pain and sudden consumption of spiritual energy made me lose consciousness before I could see the outcome, but just before I fainted, I seemed to hear someone shouting "Don't!" Haha, don't? How ridiculous!
I woke up again and it was already evening. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was my mother's bright red eyes. I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. It's great to have a mom!
"How are you feeling, child?" Mother asked anxiously.
"Mom, I'm fine, really, the wound doesn't hurt anymore, it didn't hit any bones, just rest for a few days and I'll be okay."
"Really? How did you know it didn't hurt your bones?" Mom asked strangely.
"Mom, I think Pastor Bright should have healed me by now, right? Actually, I'm already fine!" I laughed and said: "By the way, mom, is that bastard dead yet?"
"He's dead, he's familiar with it, how can he not die? It's really cheap for him. Don't worry, you're self-defending, no one can do anything to you, not even the king!" Mom said firmly.
"Is that all over with?" I asked.
"It's not that, your father is still in the palace arguing with the Ishihara family, and that kid is after all a duke's son. I was there too, but later I was forced out by your father. How detestable, just thinking about how to deal with him when he comes back!" Mother said gritting her teeth.
"Why did he drive you out?" I asked in surprise. Father usually listens to Mother more than her pet, how dare he offend Mother this time?
"The princess of the Ishihara family wants you to accompany her nephew in death! I was so angry that I slapped her several times!" Mother said nonchalantly.
"Dizzy, you dare to slap the princess? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the king?" I curiously asked.
"Your aunt has more fans than I do, and besides, even if I were to kill her, the king wouldn't dare do anything about it," said Mother.
"Why is that?" I really don't understand.
"Your mother is the eldest princess of the Elf tribe, our Elf tribe has only tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of regular troops. However, we are a country of mages, all of our regular troops are high-level magic users. The total number of high-level magic users in the human world is just about the same as ours, but the Great Han Empire only has a few hundred. Our two countries share a border, if we were to fight... Hmph! Even if it was just my mother alone, she could take down the Great Han Empire!" My mother said proudly.
"How come the elves are so powerful?" I asked.
"Spirits and elemental spirits live together in the Spirit Forest, we are interdependent. The naturally born elemental spirits are sometimes weak and need to sign a symbiotic contract with us to grow. After signing the contract, we can use the elemental spirits to enhance our magical powers to deal with various monsters and external enemies. My mother, as the queen of the spirit people, signed a contract with a fire-type spirit king. The fire-type spirit king itself can release 12th-level fire-type forbidden spells and instantly cast 9th-level or lower fire-type magic. Together with my mother's great magical attainments, she is one of the five strongest in the world. Even if the six great mages of the human kingdom were to join forces, they still couldn't defeat her. So, with such a powerful background, do you think the king would dare to do anything to me?" My mother smiled."
"No wonder Dad is afraid of you!" I suddenly realized.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's him loving me! The backing of the Long family is even stronger than yours, it's just that not many people know!" Mother said.
"Hurry up and tell me, Mom!" I urged.
"Alright! Those are all old stories. The five strongest on the mainland refer to the five people with extraordinary abilities on the mainland. Ranked first is the Pope of the Church of Light, Coman Wester, who is the spokesperson for God and can use divine power, his magical skills are unmatched. My mother frankly admitted that she was not a match for him, so she ranked second. The third is the Pope's sister, Lina Wester, who is also your grandmother!" Mother said seriously.
"Huh? I've never seen her before?" I interrupted in surprise.
"She is now in the Papal States, serving as the commander of the Order of the Radiant Knights, commanding up to 15 million Radiant Knights. She herself is a Holy Sword Saint, and with her being the only Dragon Knight on the continent, she ranks third. If not for her white dragon being underage, her ranking would be even higher. Ranking fourth is a despicable ghost, our family's arch-nemesis, the eighth Sword God in continental history, and currently the only Sword God, Kaufman. He was originally your grandfather's good friend but became jealous of your grandfather's superior martial arts talent and also failed to win over your grandmother's heart. He harbored resentment due to his jealousy. First, he manipulated your grandfather and grandmother's relationship, and as both were hot-headed, they eventually parted ways after years of his relentless manipulation. Then, under the pretext of avenging your grandmother, he lured your grandfather out of the Great Han Empire, sending people to ambush him along the way, exhausting his energy and fighting spirit. Finally, he emerged to duel your grandfather, who could not possibly win in such a situation? He severed the meridians on your grandfather's feet, crippling him for life, and also stole the Dragon Family's treasured heirloom, the divine artifact Dragon Pattern Ancient Sword. It is said that if the Dragon Family has the ability, they can take it back. Your two uncles died on their way to rescue your grandfather. He did not spare the Dragon Family, allying with neighboring countries to pressure the previous king into killing all members of the Dragon Family. Fortunately, the king was a wise man who knew that killing the Dragon Family would only lead to more chaos, and also because the third young master of the Dragon Family had returned from his travels abroad with the princess of the Spirit Tribe. He did not dare make a move. Your grandfather stubbornly refused to seek help from your grandmother but instead sent his last son, along with all the Dragon Family's guardian warriors, onto the battlefield. In that battle, your father fought magnificently, first killing the commander of the allied forces, the Sword Saint of Flowers, and then, taking advantage of the momentum, he defeated the disunited allied forces with a single strike. Your father also became known as the Dragon Sword Saint and one of the Four Great Generals!" Mother said wistfully, "He was so handsome back then!"
I didn't know our Long family had such a history, Sword God Kaufman, see how I'll deal with you!
"By the way, mom, what is a sword god?" I asked.
"I don't quite understand martial arts, but isn't a Sword God just much stronger than a Sword Saint? I heard that if you can shoot your fighting energy out of over 100 meters, then you're called a Sword God. Your father could only do it for ten or so meters before he died!" Mother complained.
At such a young age, you've already become a Sword Saint, and yet you're still called useless? I'm speechless~~~~
A heavy footstep sounded outside the door, and Father came in from outside, walked to my bedside, and said directly to me: "They want to seal you away, I agreed!"
