Wine God

"I am ten years old and nine months, with over seven years of time. Even if I don't succeed in the end, it's not too late for you to introduce me to the Bartender Guild. By then, I should be able to concoct even better liquors." Ji Dong stated with conviction. His age is based on the memory that came with his current body.

Yang Bingtian said seriously, "Are you sure about your decision?"

Ji Dong asserted, "How would I know if I don't try?" He had never been one to give up easily.

Yang Bingtian nodded his head, "Alright, I will assist you to the best of my abilities. I won't drink your liquor for free. If you can truly combine both systems to form the Yin Yang Crown, no matter what your future achievements are, you would have pioneered a new path in the Yin-Yang Magic World. You should rest now, I need to go back and think carefully about this matter."

Upon leaving Ji Dong's room and closing the door, Yang Bingtian muttered to himself, "What kind of family raises this kind of child, who not only possesses skills rivaling those of a senior bartender, but also possesses such indomitable resolve? Perhaps, he truly can turn something useless into something valuable?"

When the first light of morning streamed through his window, Ji Dong woke up. He had always followed the good habit of getting up early, especially since today was the commencement of school. Thirty-two times the effort would begin from today. He gave his fists a swift shake, quickly washed up, and immediately ran downstairs, intending to begin the day with a light jog.

However, when he arrived downstairs, he found that he wouldn't be able to jog today. Despite the sunrise just moments ago, the previously desolate academy had become bustling. Numerous children his age, or a little older, had arrived at the academy with their parents, making the dormitory area especially lively.

Although he couldn't jog, it didn't dissuade Ji Dong's intent to exercise. He started doing stretches on the spot. Being young comes with its advantages; even though his body was weak, it was flexible. After exercising for a while, his body started to warm up, as if gaining a little more strength.

"Hey, are you a freshman here too?" A crisp voice called out from behind Ji Dong. Turning around, he saw a boy his age, wearing simple clothing, standing behind him. Despite being dressed just as modestly as Ji Dong, this boy's appearance was much more charming. His pinkish face seemed like it could be squeezed for water. His bright eyes were lively and his short, clean cut hair added to his energetic vibe.

"I'm from the first grade of the Ding Fire Series, what about you?" The boy naturally went and linked arms with Ji Dong, donning a familiar demeanor.

"You're part of the Ding Fire Series? Are you a girl?" Ji Dong looked at him, slightly surprised. The sexual characteristics of a ten-year-old were rather indistinct.

"Bullshit, I'm a real man. Do you want me to pull down my pants to show you? Who told you that those in the Ding Fire Series are only female?" The boy said, getting a bit annoyed.

Ji Dong was about to say something when a loud voice sounded from a distance, "Well, well, Bi Su, you sissy is here. Let's see if I don't beat you to death this time."

A robust boy who was nearly a head taller than both Ji Dong and the boy beside him, came running over with an aggressive demeanor. His red hair was striking, and his broad shoulders made him appear like a young calf, as he dashed toward them. His target seemed to be the boy beside Ji Dong.

"Good brother, block him for me; I won't forget your favor." Bi Su hid behind Ji Dong, poking half of his head out to shout at the approaching redhead, "Carl, don't think I'm afraid of you. Was it because I kicked your ass during the entrance examination and made you fall flat on your face? Even now, you still can't let it go. This is my boss; if you have the guts, beat my boss first."

"What boss, you two are getting beaten together," the redhead, Carl, charged over. Ji Dong was in the way, so he directly threw a punch at him.

Ji Dong immediately realized he was being used. But currently, Bi Su was gripping his clothes tightly from behind, leaving him no room to escape. In his previous life, young Ji Dong was a skilled fighter. Due to his handsome and tall stature, he was liked by many girls in his school which inevitably provoked jealousy from his male classmates. Although he didn't know any formal techniques, he had plenty of experience in fighting.

Seeing Carl's punch coming, Ji Dong was clear that if he was hit given his current physical condition, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp, even if he didn't become unconscious. Being used is better than being beaten up; he made his move instantly. Lifting his right leg, he aimed a solid kick. Carl was taller than him, but his arms shouldn't be longer than Ji Dong's legs.

Bang, dead on. Ji Dong's kick landed on Carl's lower abdomen. Carl was indeed tough, but Ji Dong was not in the best physical condition. Although Carl got knocked down, the immense force also knocked Ji Dong backward.

"Ouch, it hurts so bad!" Ji Dong tumbled down, but he wasn't the one shouting in pain; Bi Su was. Before, Bi Su was holding onto Ji Dong's shirt, and in an ironic twist of fate, he became a cushion for Ji Dong's fall.

Ji Dong quickly got up and mounted an attack on Carl. The first move would always be advantageous. Considering his build, it was apparent that Carl's strength was no joke. After Ji Dong kicked him, he would still consider him and Bi Su as being in cahoots. Well, that being the case, it's better to start fighting.

Seeing Ji Dong rush over, Bi Su was momentarily stupefied, but he too rushed over, instead of running away.

The two of them against one Carl, even though Carl was bigger, he still had difficulty coping. Ji Dong was straightforward, but Bi Su was quite cunning, only aiming for critical points. Even though they were all young and their punches weren't heavy, Carl still didn't want to be hit. In the end, it went from Carl occasionally punching them to covering his lower body most of the time.

"What do you think you're doing? Stop!" A thunderous roar sounded. Before Ji Dong could react, his body was lifted into the air as if riding a cloud. When he touched the ground, he saw a very sturdy man, holding him and Bi Su, one in each hand. A little flick from his foot and Carl too got up.

Having gained an upper hand, Bi Su was gleefully looking down at Carl, who was breathing fire from both eyes, about to launch himself at them. However, he was immobilized by a foot tap on his shoulder from the burly man.
