Little Girls Think Wrong.

A crisp clanging of metal came from the darkness ahead.

A few fully armed iron-armored goblins walked out, growling restlessly with excitement when they saw the woman.

In the next moment, the goblins charged at them like wild horses broken free from reins.

Yuna and Emily simultaneously gripped their weapons, entering a state of combat.

"Leave these guys to me, sisters. Don't help," Yu Li said as she bounced to the front.

Lin Feng looked back at Yuna. She seemed a little worried.

However, Yu Li was less than ten meters away from him. If any sudden danger arose, Lin Feng was fully confident he could save her.

Yu Li looked very composed. A yellow light shone from the six-pointed star in her palm.

The rubble on the ground floated up and hovered around Yu Li.

Pile after pile of debris rained down. The unevenly shaped rocks were instantly polished into cone-shaped spikes.

Lin Feng had never seen another mage use this kind of earth-based magic before.

Furthermore, changing the shape of rocks was very difficult. As the complexity increased, so did the mental exertion required.

The rougher and more primitive the generated object, the lower its time cost.

Conversely, the more intricate the generated object, the greater its time cost.

Without a doubt, generating these cone bullets was very difficult for Yu Li.

Yet she had done it almost instantaneously.

She must have practiced many times, he guessed.

Suddenly, another magical circle, emerald green this time, appeared in Yu Li's other palm.

Wind-based magic?

She softly chanted a spell, and with a deafening boom, the cone-shaped rocks shot forward like scattershot.

With a piercing clang, sparks flew off the goblins' armor and they fell to the ground, though not dead yet.

Seeing this, Yu Li followed up with another spell, finally smashing them completely. Blood and flesh of goblins were strewn all over.

Was this a wind and earth combo spell?

First, she used earth magic to create the cone-shaped bullets, then used the beginner wind spell "Gale Burst" to propel them.

This little girl was pretty clever, even devising a magical version of bullets.

"Amazing," Yuna and Emily exclaimed before Lin Feng could speak, clapping their hands. "Those disgusting goblins got smashed in an instant..."

"No! This is just mediocre!" Yu Li's face turned red at the praise, just like Yuna's would.

She looked at Lin Feng, a hopeful look on her face.

What Yu Li wanted most was actually recognition from a certain man.

Her intentions did not escape Lin Feng's eyes.

Since she wanted praise, he naturally could not be stingy with it.

"Yu Li is truly gifted. At such a young age, she can already use combo spells." Lin Feng gently stroked her perked up beast ears. "There probably aren't many people her age more talented than Yu Li."

Truthfully, there were very few who could devise combo spells on their own at this age.

And even fewer could use them as adeptly as she did.

The word "genius" was truly fitting for her.

"It's...it's not that amazing! This spell actually still has many imperfections!" Yu Li exclaimed, her ear tips also turning red as her drooping wolf tail swayed lightly left and right.

"It's already amazing, but I like that Yu Li is eager to improve herself without too much pressure, or else I would be very sad," Lin Feng said, patting her shoulder.

To be honest, this child was immersed in books all day now, even unwilling to play anymore.

This was not something Lin Feng wanted to see.

Loving to learn was good, but playfulness was a child's nature.

"When we get back tonight, I'll take you out to relax and rest well."

"No, I have to study hard and become an outstanding woman to make you fall for me!" Yu Li said resolutely. "If you want me to rest, just staying by my side is enough."

"It's good to have this drive, but...wait! What is this child saying?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

She was so young, yet already harbored such thoughts?

Truly shocking!

He glanced at Emily. She had a meaningful look.

Then he looked at Yuna. She didn't seem surprised at all, as if she had known all along.

"I'll also work hard to become stronger than you. When I grow up, I'll protect you and turn you into a useless person," Yu Li said matter-of-factly.

Lin Feng gulped. He shivered a little.

She was so young yet had these kinds of wild ideas.

To be honest, he just found the little loli cute, and had no other intentions.

"Alright, save that kind of talk until you're grown up. You've still got a long way to go," Lin Feng said, knocking her head then covering her mouth.

After ten or twenty more years, and meeting many more outstanding people, this little loli probably wouldn't say such things anymore.

He didn't want to fill her young mind with strange ideas.

"For now, let's discuss how to improve your spell," Lin Feng said, picking up a relatively intact cone-shaped rock. "Since you created this yourself, you should know its strengths and weaknesses well, right?"

Seeing Lin Feng suddenly become serious, Yu Li also put her feelings aside and became serious too. "No strengths."

Compared to top-tier spells, it indeed had none.

At least in Lin Feng's eyes, its casting speed was quite fast.

But Yu Li seemed a perfectionist, so he didn't say it.

"Then what about weaknesses?"

"Lack of power, low accuracy, short range, high mana consumption. I can only cast three or four times continuously before running out of strength." Yu Li listed all the flaws in one breath.

Lin Feng pictured the cone bullets in his mind, morphing the cone-shaped rock in his hand into one.

"You can use magic too, big brother?"

"Shh, this isn't magic, just something similar. You have to keep it secret." Lin Feng gave her a mysterious look, raising his eyebrows.

"Help me make a tube about as long as your arm that can fit this rock snugly, not too tight or loose, as close to a perfect fit as possible." Lin Feng placed the cone-shaped rock in Yu Li's palm.

Yu Li didn't ask further. She observed the bullet's size and concentrated on making a stone tube.

"The durability also needs to be guaranteed, at least enough to withstand a wind spell exploding inside."

"I'll do my best."

It took Yu Li a long time, but she finally finished it.

She seemed a little worried, carefully handing the tube to Lin Feng.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't think my earth magic control is good enough yet to make what you described, big brother."

"It's alright, take it slowly. Consider this an experiment. I believe you can do it in the future." Lin Feng stroked her head gently, soothing her in a soft voice.

What needed to be done now was finding a goblin victim to use as a target.
