The next day, Zhang Mu went to see his mother, Su Yun, and told her that he was bored at home and wanted to read but couldn't understand the words.
Su Yun was also surprised that Zhang Mu, who was so young, would say that he was bored.
Keep in mind that Zhang Mu is only three years old.
Faced with Zhang Mu's pleading and cajoling, she had no choice but to discuss the situation with Zhang Mu's father, Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin naturally had no objections, and a few days later he invited a tutor to his home.
So Zhang Mu began systematic learning.
The schoolteacher's surname was Mo, and Zhang Mu respectfully addressed him as Old Master Mo.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Master Mo quickly discovered Zhang Mu's intelligence, and everything proceeded smoothly as in the simulation.
Two months later, Zhang Mu had basically mastered the writing system of this world.
He then told Master Mo that he had already learned the written language, but he did not want to learn anything else yet.
But how could Master Mo see such a genius so degenerate like this? He quickly persuaded Zhang Mu's parents to let him study hard, saying that of all things, only studying is noble!
But Zhang Mu knew that his family was going to be destroyed when he was six years old, so he had no desire to study. He had to arm himself.
Other knowledge can be put aside now and can be learned again in the future, but what's the use of studying if you lose your home?
This is a world of martial arts!
Su Yun and Zhang Lin tried to persuade Zhang Mu, as they didn't want him to waste his talent like that.
Faced with the advice, Zhang Mu said, "Can studying bring peace to the world? Can studying defend the country?"
The three elders exchanged glances, somewhat shocked by your precocious maturity: "Studying can bring peace to the world; who in the court is not highly talented? Studying can defend the country; if there is no strategy on the battlefield, countless people will die; if the country has no rule of law, the country will be unstable."
"Old Master Mo said sternly."
Zhang Mu smiled slightly on his youthful face: "If a country does not have a strong military, can it rely on its silver tongue to prevent other countries from invading us? If a country does not have an army, how can it quell internal turmoil?"
"this..."
Old Master Mo was speechless. He knew that Zhang Mu's words were sophistry, and he also saw the reason why Zhang Mu did not want to continue studying. So he could not offer any more advice.
"Sigh... You know so much at such a young age, what a pity... what a pity... Well then, I guess I'll just have to live like you."
Seeing that Elder Mo agreed, Zhang Mu then said, "I want to learn martial arts, which is why I put my studies aside for now."
Zhang Lin frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Mother..."
Zhang Mu quickly ran into Su Yun's arms and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay... whatever you say!"
Su Yun smiled and gestured to Zhang Lin with her eyes, who then said nothing more.
"Xiao Mu, practicing martial arts is very hard work. Can you persevere?"
"That's natural!"
......
Time passed, spring came and autumn went, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Mu was six years old. This was also the year that Zhang Mu experienced his first tribulation.
Over the years, Zhang Mu had been learning martial arts from Zhang Lin. He guessed correctly; his father was indeed a martial artist with a high level of skill, a master of the Transformation Realm.
Several years of martial arts training have made Zhang Mu grow very fast. Although he is only six years old, he is already 1.4 meters tall.
Zhang Lin also discovered that his son was not only talented in academics but also in martial arts.
Zhang Mu was able to quickly grasp and master what he taught within three days.
However, Zhang Mu was not happy. The calamity was about to arrive, and he had only just entered the realm of external strength.
How could someone at such a level withstand an attack by dozens of people? You must know that even his father, a master of the Transformation Realm, died at the hands of those dozens of people.
This also shows that those people are not ordinary people; at least their average strength is at the Inner Strength level, otherwise they wouldn't be able to kill a Transformation Strength expert.
This is a problem, as one's own external strength is completely useless.
"Does this mean we have no choice but to run away now?"
Zhang Mu was somewhat unwilling. Although running away could be considered defying fate, it was far less rewarding than directly nipping the calamity in the bud.
Ye Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, sensed that his host was in trouble. So what did he do? Of course, he stepped in to help.
[The system has detected that the host is about to face an insurmountable crisis. As a reward, you are granted one chance to summon from another world!]
"Interdimensional summoning?"
Zhang Mu was taken aback, then remembered that this was one of the functions of his system.
"System, what's the use of this interdimensional summoning?"
[Call for backup.]
The answer was simple and clear, and Zhang Mu's tightly furrowed brows began to relax.
As expected, you still have to rely on your own system when it matters most. I used to think the system would harm me, but now I realize how stupid I was.
"System, save me!"
[Ding! Initiating interdimensional summoning opportunity. Please wait patiently...]
Shortly afterward, a passageway lit up beside Zhang Mu, and a figure walked out from it.
"You're my employer?"
The white-haired old man sized up Zhang Mu.
[Ding! Interdimensional summoning is a transaction; you can call in people from other worlds to help you.]
There's no need to worry about the other party remembering what happened during the transaction; their memory of that part will be erased after the transaction is completed.
Ye Yu explained.
Zhang Mu understood and said, "That's right, I am your employer. There will be a crisis soon. The opponents are mostly experts with internal strength, and there are about several dozen of them."
"An expert in internal energy?"
The old man frowned slightly at first, then realized: "It must be because the worlds are different, and the terms for different realms are different."
In our world, martial arts realms are divided into Ming Jin (manifest strength), An Jin (hidden strength), Hua Jin (transformation strength), Dan Jin (elixir strength), Gang Jin (罡 strength), Breaking Through the Void, and Jian Shen Bu Hua (seeing the divine and indestructible).
"Then you?"
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up; it seemed the world of the newcomer was a world of high martial arts.
The old man smiled slightly: "My name is Qiu Jizi, as for my cultivation level..."
Qiu Jizi clenched his fist and swung it to the side, producing a series of hollow sounds.
Zhang Mu stared in shock at the spatial rift that had appeared.
"This is breaking through the void. Every move a martial artist makes contains the power of heaven and earth. They can even shatter space with a single punch!"
The shattered space quickly healed, as if it had never existed.
"The spatial intensity of this world is far lower than that of my world. Although breaking through the void is very powerful, it still requires all one's strength to shatter the space."
But here, even thirty percent of my power is enough to easily shatter space. I can sense that this world is rejecting me; I probably can't stay long.
Qiu Jizi spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu estimated the time and realized that there was only about a month left before the calamity arrived.
How long can you stay?
"Three months, I guess."
Qiu Jizi said.
"That's enough. The crisis I was talking about is only a month away from arriving."
I will arrange a place for you to stay. You can stay here temporarily during this period.
"You can step in when the crisis arrives."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Qiu Jizi nodded.
Soon, under Zhang Mu's arrangement, Qiu Jizi settled down temporarily.
Faced with this new face, Su Yun and Zhang Lin naturally couldn't help but ask questions.
Zhang Mu simply said that this was his newly apprenticed master, a martial arts expert, and that he would be taught martial arts by him during this period.
Qiu Jizi naturally knew that Zhang Mu's words were partly an excuse and partly an attempt to learn some skills from him.
However, he had gained a lot from Ye Yu, so he accepted this identity, since he wouldn't lose anything anyway.
