Chapter 10

Secondly, it involves spending a huge amount of gold coins to purchase a flying magical artifact! Since this artifact can fly, it is naturally refined by a great cultivator who has spent much effort, so its value is unimaginable! Anyway, Yun Mo knew that he absolutely did not have the wealth to buy such a luxurious item!

Therefore, if he wanted to tour the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the only way was to cultivate and become a great cultivator!

However, a problem arose! Yun Mo's headache worsened as he frowned, thinking to himself: "I really have bad luck. The child I possessed has no talent at all. In plain terms, he is a complete waste, and there's no way he can cultivate!"

Damn! He angrily waved his hand, feeling a surge of frustration: "Did I come to this world just to be a lowly servant in the city lord's mansion, sweeping the floor and driving away pests? Heaven and Earth, how unfair you are! Others who come to this world become kings and seduce beauties, with magical artifacts scattered everywhere. A mere shake of their body, and heroes and valiant men flock to pay homage! A casual glance, and Lolitas, mature women, gentlewomen, and wanton women cry and beg to serve them in bed. Why is it that when it's my turn, I have such a miserable fate?"

Yun Mo silently asked the heavens, but he hid in the corner, not daring to make a sound. Because he had no cultivation talent, all the heavy labor was assigned to him and the other "waste" people! It was working hours now, and if he was caught sneaking here to spy on the geniuses practicing, he would surely face severe punishment!

So he tightly controlled his aura, afraid of being discovered!

But as the saying goes, when one is down, even drinking cold water can cause a toothache! Just as Yun Mo was about to sneak back, a boy around ten years old walked over! Seeing Yun Mo sneaking around, the boy's sinister triangular eyes darted around, and a trace of malice appeared in his eyes!

This boy was the only son of the city lord's mansion's chief steward, born with excellent physical attributes. He started practicing martial arts at the age of five and was already a Level 5 Tianyou expert at ten! One could say that except for the city lord's dozen or so children, this boy was the most outstanding young master in the mansion! Although his father was just a steward, and his status was not much different from Yun Mo's, the saying "a county official is not as powerful as the current manager" applied. He could bully the other young masters in the mansion with his father's influence!

Invisibly, he was the big brother to all the private children in the mansion, an absolutely formidable figure!

This boy was named Cheng Dawei, and Yun Mo always called him "Big Brother Wei," comparing him in his heart to a certain blue pill with miraculous effects. Cheng Dawei was completely unaware and was extremely pleased with himself!

The so-called Level 5 Tianyou refers to a classification of strength!

Generally, those with cultivation talent are called Tianyou, meaning those blessed by the heavens with great fortune! Usually, a child's talent can be detected at birth, although there are rare cases where someone develops talent in their teens!

There are two types of Tianyou: one is more common, those who can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate their physical body! Their close combat abilities are terrifying, and even if they don't reach the level of flying with their physical body, once they achieve some success, they become extremely lethal killing machines. The empire treats such super warriors with great favor!

The other is a hundred times rarer, the soul force mage! They cultivate their mental and soul power, able to manipulate the elemental forces of heaven and earth to attack at will, which is extremely terrifying! However, their physical bodies are relatively weaker compared to martial artists. Whenever a soul force mage talent is discovered, it becomes explosive news in the area. If there are no unexpected events, they have the qualifications to study in the capital, whether joining a major sect or entering the imperial-controlled Wisteria Academy. Their future is extremely bright and promising! Naturally, their status will gradually become noble as their cultivation improves!

Of course, there is one exception, those who can cultivate both their physical body and soul force! However, such geniuses are extremely rare, with only a few appearing in the empire every hundred years! But as long as someone has this talent, they will eventually reach the level of a great cultivator and dominate the world! It is said that the two leaders of the empire's most terrifying institution, the Detective Bureau, which is responsible for security and prisons, have such monstrous talent! Of course, the most prestigious royal retainers of the empire must also include many such people. But this is not something someone of Yun Mo's status can understand!

Being a Tianyou is just the beginning, with countless challenges ahead. To become a great cultivator, one needs immense fortune! How easy is this path?

At this moment, Cheng Dawei, who had reached Level 5 Tianyou, quietly walked behind Yun Mo. His eyes flashed with a sinister light, and 'whoosh'! His leg, like a whip, lashed out at Yun Mo's face as he turned around!

Thud! With a dull sound, Yun Mo's small body spun and flew out!

Boom! A loud noise, and Yun Mo's body crashed into the people practicing on the square, raising a cloud of dust!

"Ah... spurt...!" Yun Mo struggled to get up, his right face swollen like a fermented bread, spitting out a mouthful of blood and two broken teeth. His arms and legs were scraped and bleeding, the situation extremely pitiful! "Ah...!" Some girls screamed in shock, while the boys looked excited and eager to try!

Whoosh! In a blur, Cheng Dawei had already flown to Yun Mo, who was pale but gritting his teeth in silence, and said viciously, "You scum, instead of working hard, you sneak around to spy on everyone's practice. With your worthless talent, you still want to cultivate? Don't you know that this breaks the rules? I'll beat you to death today!"

Saying this, he was about to attack.

Yun Mo coldly looked at this arrogant bastard, instantly sentencing him to death in his heart! But he knew he could only endure for now.

"Stop!" With a stern voice, the instructor, a muscular and imposing man with sharp eyes, walked over!

"Good day, Instructor!" How could Cheng Dawei dare to act arrogantly in front of the head of the guards? In terms of status, the instructor was much higher than his father, so Cheng Dawei immediately stood straight, looking obedient like a good boy!

Yun Mo, however, remained unchanged in his demeanor! As a person from the 21st century, he had never had the concept of hierarchy in his mind.

That's why he had this attitude. If he knew he couldn't beat Cheng Dawei, he would have fought to the death long ago! Even so, he began to think about how to get rid of this small-minded person, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes!

The instructor, named Ling Feng, was extremely sensitive to the killing intent in Yun Mo's eyes and sighed inwardly, "What a pity, such a determined heart, but no cultivation talent!"

He then casually glanced at Cheng Dawei, who was arrogant and bullying the weak, feeling extreme disdain: "If it weren't for his father's influence with the city lord, I would have long beaten this bully into a state of incapacity. How could I be so wretched now?"

"What's going on?" The instructor asked casually, but he was as clear as a mirror in his heart! With his cultivation, how could he not know that Yun Mo was secretly watching? He had always admired this child who had worked hard and never complained in the mansion for half a year. So he tacitly allowed Yun Mo to occasionally come and watch!

Therefore, Cheng Dawei's late arrival and his whip kick not only hit Yun Mo's face but also hit the instructor's heart!

"Reporting to the instructor, this boy didn't work and was secretly...!" Cheng Dawei was embellishing his accusation. Suddenly, the instructor interrupted him, "I'm not asking about that, but why are you late? Don't you know that practicing martial arts and strengthening your body is a daily must?"

"Uh...?" Cheng Dawei was speechless. He occasionally came late before, and the instructor never bothered with him, so he became even more arrogant today and came even later! He didn't expect to be caught by the instructor. The city lord was kind, allowing the children of servants and guards with talent to practice, which was already a great fortune! Who would be like Cheng Dawei, thinking they were so talented that they didn't need to practice and wasted such an opportunity? Everyone despised him in their hearts, but no one dared to oppose him openly because his father was the chief steward and the most powerful among the guards!

Seeing him bully the weak, everyone was secretly angry, and hearing the instructor's intention to punish him, they were secretly pleased!

"Penalty: practice the basic boxing form a thousand times, or no food!"

The instructor coldly ordered.

"Yes!" Cheng Dawei hung his head, his face burning with shame, feeling humiliated in front of everyone! He glared at Yun Mo with a look that said, "Kid, you wait!"

Yun Mo narrowed his eyes, bowed to the instructor, and then limped away from the training ground.

Watching his weak body struggle out of sight, some felt sympathy, but most were cold and indifferent!

The Wisteria Empire valued martial prowess and literary talent, and it was considered natural for the weak to be bullied!

Cheng Dawei was inwardly wailing, starting to practice the basic boxing form, thinking: "I'll be lucky to finish a thousand times today. Damn, it's all because of Yun Mo, the waste. I'll deal with you later!"

Thinking of this, the malice in his eyes reappeared!

He couldn't forget Yun Mo, and neither could Yun Mo forget him!

At this moment, Yun Mo asked for two days off from the head of the servants, saying he was injured. The head, seeing the redness on his face, knew he had been bullied and, considering his youth and pitiful state, granted his request. Yun Mo returned to his living quarters.

The mansion had countless rooms, and each servant had their own separate living space with a small yard, giving them their own private space! In this regard, the city lord was very kind! Although he was a martial artist, his reputation in the Wisteria Empire was excellent!
