Douluo Dalu Within A Martial World

Chapter 8 - 8 Green Valley Town

2 months later.... Green Valley Town....

A small mountain village roughly 3,500 kilometers from Green Mulberry City. It mainly relied on hunting and gathering to make ends meet, and much of what is caught ends up as dinner later that night.

It possessed a population of roughly 1,500 people. There was quite an abundance of fertile soil, but the constant raids by Spirit Beasts made it difficult to keep it all for the village.

Many bronze colored, muscly young men walked around the 10 feet high wall the villagers had set up, and the large, but unimpressive gate they created was almost always open during the day.

"Stop! Who goes there!".

One of the muscly men on the village walls knocked an arrow in his bow before pulling back on the string far enough to make the bow bend like a crescent moon.

Around about 50 meters in front of him, on the yellow dirt road leading into the village, a loan figure, just under four feet tall, walked slowly towards the wooden gate. His cloak, a warm looking beast fur cloak fell down to the figures knees. His shins and feet revealed and unprotected by the fur cloak.

"I'm warning you! Take off your coat or I will fire!".

The young muscly man narrowed his eyes as the figure disobeyed his command.

Although he knew his talent paled in comparison to other cultivators, his peak 2nd Ranked Martial Talent made him feel like a big fish in a small pond.

All the other young men in his village were either 1st Rank or unsuited to practicing martial arts. This factor created a small seed of arrogance in his heart and being ignored like this made him angry and agitated.

"If you take one more step I will fire!".

The muscly man's brows furrowed as his commands were once again disobeyed.

Looking at the short figure he took a deep breath before exhaling and releasing his fingers on the string.

Although he heard a shout from behind him and his face outwardly revealed an expression of regret, the muscly man inwardly smirked and the seed inside him slowly bloomed.

'That'll teach you to ignore me you-'.

*Swish*.

From the cloak, a petite, jade like arm appeared and caught the arrow between his index and middle finger.

The muscly man's eyes widened and his how easily his arrow was caught. He felt a shadow tower over him and a hand slapping the back of his head, before paling at the sight of the giant of a man in front of him!

"Senior! My son didn't mean to shoot an arrow at your esteemed self. He only had the protection of our village in mind! I am willing to accept any punishment you may give-".

"No punishment necessary. However if this happens again-".

The short figures words were cut short as it raised an arm above its head and swung it down with the force of a diving crane!

A black wind gathered around the arm of the figure and shot out, sending a crescent moon wave of spiritual essence flying past the group of muscly men.

Their eyes widened at the power this shirt figure showed, but their hearts almost gave out when they saw the black wave cut cleanly through their village wall!

'Holy shit!', they all thought!

"Your excellency, during your time at Green Valley Town, our greatest hospitality will be given to you. Anything you need you just ask".

The small figure nodded and walked with the group into Green Valley Town's walls, every time they passed by a group of people, the were forced to quickly kneel down before the small cloaked figure.

"Your excellency, Green Valley Town is just an isolated village, far away from Sky Fortune Kingdoms capital, Sky Fortune City. Has your excellency been to the capital before?".

The cloaked figure shook its head and followed the giant man into a large abode in the center of the town.

The instant he entered, 3 above average looking girls came to the giant man's side and bowed.

"Village Chief! Welcome back".

The giant man, now known to the people of Green Valley Town as its Village Chief, ordered the girls to prepare dinner and the finest guest room in their house.

He ushered for the cloaked figure to follow him into the dining room for a meal, to which the figure simply nodded.

"Your excellency, would you please allow me to take your cloak? I promise that Lan'er will take good care off it".

"Sure".

With a single motion, the thick fur cloak fell off the short figures shoulders and a cute six year old face was revealed.

"Ah? Your excellency is just a child?".

The maid that was handed the cloak accidentally spoke, before going red in the face and bowing and apologizing profusely for her disrespect.

But a wave of the child's arm silenced her voice, and he only gave her a polite nod.

"It's fine. My age is not a reflection of my strength".

Everyone in the room took not of the words of this child. By this point, most of the village had known who cut down a section of the wall, and most knew that this child, despite his age being low, possessed an unfathomable strength!

"Your excellency, may I know your name? It would be improper to address my guest without knowing who they are".

The young child nodded.

"My name is Bing Xian. Bing as in Ice, Xian as in Immortal".
