According to the book, improving mental strength is a slow and subtle process. It doesn't directly bring enough intuitive manifestations. Only after reaching a certain level will it suddenly erupt. The mark of a wizard apprentice's initial entry is the strengthening of the five senses. Dole could feel himself becoming more敏锐, but the improvement wasn't significant enough. He knew this was because his mental strength was still too weak.

However, he wasn't discouraged by this.

After work each day, he continued to match wits with Aoduo. However, Aoduo had become somewhat rampant recently, daring to monitor even the entrance of Old Ke's blacksmith shop.

Time slowly passed into February, and the weather gradually warmed up. The trees along the streets began to sprout. In mid-February, Mondo City had an important festival called the Spring Festival, meaning that spring had arrived, the busy farming season was about to begin, and the things accumulated during winter needed to be started, and so on. Even the blacksmith shop became busy, with many orders and repairs every day. Dole and several level-one blacksmiths were exhausted.

After a tiring day, Dole relaxed a bit after work. It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the slums that he suddenly woke up. At this time, Aoduo's lackeys had already surrounded him, and along with Aoduo, they pounced in his direction.

Dole panicked slightly. He glanced around and then spotted a small path, rushing straight towards it.

At the entrance of that small path, a person stood up with a sneer, holding an iron pipe in his hand. Seeing Dole approaching, he waved the棒子 in his hand, seemingly very disdainful.

A street thug. Although Dole was a little flustered, he wasn't panicked inside. Just a small混混. Although he was young now, the meals he had at the blacksmith shop for the past two months weren't for nothing.

He quickly rushed to the alley entrance, and the混混 swung the棒子 at him.

Dole took a step forward, using his bent arm to block the iron棒, which struck his arm with a loud bang. After all, the small混混 wasn't a professional, and his strength wasn't great.

Dole kicked out, the great force sending the person flying more than four meters away, tumbling several times on the ground. He turned and ran, knowing that he could handle one or two, but it would be bad if a whole group surrounded him.

The surrounding people were stunned by this. This guy had great strength. Even Aoduo in the distance was surprised. What had this kid been eating recently? He noticed that Dole had grown taller, previously appearing thin and small, but now looking somewhat壮实.

His heart sank, and he quickly shouted coldly, "Chase after him! You must catch him!"

The entrance to the slums immediately became chaotic. With the influx of several people, running, the muddy ground splashed mud and water, splattering against the walls on both sides.

Aoduo wasn't really stupid. Through these days of wits and courage, they had explored the roads of the slums. Dole always left the blacksmith shop after work, so they had already scouted the spot, blocking the way. They just didn't expect the interception to be ineffective.

As Dole ran, he looked back, feeling equally棘手. Although these people might not be his match individually, there were many of them. He had just counted, and this guy somehow had twenty subordinates. It was simply鬼.

Did his family have a mine?

Dole naturally didn't know that this guy had promised that as long as they caught Dole, they would receive silver coins. The money actually came from Dole himself.

Rushing through the small alleys, Dole quickly窜了起来 inside. However, he discovered that no matter where he窜到, Aoduo's people could always block him nearby, making him increasingly angry.

This dog逼 really thinks I, Dole, am easy to bully.

He came out of a small alley, not immediately窜出去, but waited at the entrance, taking out the short sword from his waist and holding it in his hand.

Soon, he heard several footsteps coming from afar, running and shouting.

"Not here?"

"Old Three, is he on your side?"

"No."

"Then he's still in that胡同! Hurry, chase!"

Dole analyzed the direction of the voices, while also looking around.

The people in the slums basically didn't want to cause trouble, nor did they want to fight. Their incomes were quite low, and once they got sick, they would face unemployment, unaffordable medical treatment, and even the crisis of death. The people here were numb, basically not caring about other people's business. They had been chasing for a long time, but there wasn't any ripple in the slums, not even a loud咒骂.

This was a hopeless place.

Soon, two footsteps came from afar, quickly arriving at the alley entrance, and then Aoduo's voice sounded from afar.

"Damn it, where did he run to? Haven't found him yet?" He was running and panting, seemingly exhausted.

Dole's eyes lit up immediately. Was it Aoduo himself? But at the same time, his heart tightened, because there were two people. He didn't know the other person's strength, but an ordinary小混混 was at most a little stronger than an ordinary person.

Having recently read Natriye's Legend, he was no longer afraid of ordinary people, because he was no longer ordinary.

The sound quickly approached, reaching the alley entrance.

Dole crouched down, holding the short sword in his hand. When the footsteps approached, reaching the alley entrance, he quickly窜出 from below,划过 along the ground at a height of thirty centimeters. Because he was angry, he swung the sword at whoever he saw, accurately and ruthlessly.

The iron sword划过 one person's two calves, the sharp blade separating the pants, cutting into the flesh. He only felt a few resistances appear, and then quickly disappear. The blade quickly touched the bone, and then deeply刻进去.

A scream immediately rang out, and then one person fell to the ground.

Dole didn't have time to see who it was, and then he looked up, lifting the sword and killing the other person.

That person was stunned at this time. The person next to him fell down, and he didn't know what had happened. When Dole's figure holding the sword stood up from the ground, he saw what was going on.

He was shocked.

Dole wasn't shocked. He had been worried these days, and he had had enough. He raised the sword and stabbed straight over.

Although that person was afraid, he still raised his hand to block Dole's sword. With a scream, his arm was pierced by Dole's sword, and the action stopped abruptly.

Dole pulled out the sword, and blood flowed straight down the sword. He saw that this person wasn't Aoduo, and then he lowered his head. The one on the ground must be Aoduo.

Aoduo hugged his knees on the ground, screaming repeatedly.

"My legs, my legs!"

Dole glanced at Aoduo, turned and came to him, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, and kicked Aoduo's face with great force.

As a burst of resistance came, Dole stopped his foot, and Aoduo tumbled several times on the ground, and then the scream stopped abruptly. He passed out.

After doing all this, he looked back at the person whose arm he had pierced.

That was a teenager, about eighteen or nineteen years old, leaning against the wall, looking at himself in horror. His arm was pierced by a sword, but he didn't shout a word. Pain and shock, he didn't say a word. Seeing this, Dole was expressionless and turned to leave. There were too many such people in Domeng City, countless. They lived by following capable people, working as their thugs, and risking their lives, their own lives being worthless.

His purpose had been achieved. He had just glanced at Aoduo's miserable state. This guy's legs were ruined. He had cut off several major tendons. Unless he sought help from a wizard's advanced alchemy medicine, he would never be able to stand up again.

Feeling extremely happy, Dole quickly disappeared into the slums. Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't have any killing intent. After all, it wasn't a life-and-death feud.

This time, he had made an enemy, but Dole wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he was a little excited. Crippling Aoduo meant that this guy would definitely not dare to provoke him in the future, and he could relax a little.
