My Divine Diary Chapter 10: Learn Martial Arts

“What is it, Xiangwu?”

The man heard Su Hao and asked.

“…” Su Hao didn’t respond.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to respond, but he didn’t understand what the other person was saying. He only had the feeling that the person was his father.

This gave Su Hao a headache. Other than the previous time’s China, each time he transmigrated, he would have to learn that world’s language.

It wasn’t too bad though because the body might be two years old, but they would at least have some foundations. As long as he survived for a bit, he could inherit the original child’s remnant memories and be able to learn the language.

Seeing Su Hao not respond, the man didn’t say anything else and continued to hurry along the road. At the same time, he carefully monitored the surrounding environment as if he was worried about being suddenly attacked.

“We’re here!” The man quickened his pace. A small stronghold appeared ahead. On the stronghold’s tall walls, there were two armored beefy men vigilantly standing guard. Seeing the man with the boy strapped to his neck, they felt a bit of relief.

“Yo~ Third Bro, you’re back. How come there’s no reward today?” Yelled the beefy man on the left who had scars all over his face.

“Yup, today was unlucky!” The man nodded and jogged to the wall.

As Su Hao guessed what they were saying, the man below him suddenly increased the speed.

That scared Su Hao and he tightly held onto the man’s head. He only saw the man sprint for three steps before suddenly stamped the ground and his entire person rose into the air and landed firmly on the wall.

Su Hao’s jaw dropped.

This wall looked to be about eight or nine meters tall. Even a martial arts master wouldn’t dare to play like this.

“Could it be that my father in this world is a martial arts master?” Su Hao eyes flashed with excitement. This time he could stake things on his dad!

……

The boy that Su Hao had possessed was named Wu Xiangwu. The man below him was his dad, named Wu Yuntian, a human clan high level warrior. He was tasked to be stationed at the Cha Mountain Post outside Lingyun Town. That was to say, Wu Yuntian was a guard. Cha Mountain Post was his home. He had only received the mission to be stationed there two years ago and the mission lasted for fifteen years so he had brought his wife and child to the outpost to live.

Of course Wu Tianyun was not the only guard at Cha Mountain Post. In addition to him, there were thirty other guards that had similarly been stationed at Cha Mountain Post. Those with families would bring all of them with them to Cha Mountain Post. The small number that didn’t have families basically wouldn’t be able to find a wife in the future.

Wu Yuntian had a very high position in Cha Mountain Post. He was publicly recognized as the third strongest so everyone called him Third Bro. As long as it was Wu Yuntian speaking, everyone was willing to give him face and give his words attention.

As for Su Hao’s mother in this world, she had already been torn apart by a vicious beast a year ago in order to protect her son Wu Xiangwu. Wu Tianyun largely blamed himself for this and sometimes would even blame his son Wu Xiangwu. If she hadn’t been bogged down by Wu Xiangwu, his wife would have been able to smoothly escape.

Even though Wu Yuntian also knew that he couldn’t blame the child, he couldn’t help but think this way. It was like this that he became caught in a contradiction. Sometimes he would blame himself for being too weak and being unable to protect his wife. Other times he would blame his son for causing trouble.

Therefore, he never smiled towards his son and only took on the responsibilities of being a father. Protecting the cubs, raising the cubs, and that was it.

And so, Su Hao adapted to this life in this new world without the love of a father.

……

A year later, Su Hao turned 3.

In this year, he learned the language and studied this world’s culture. Through it, he came to a gradual understanding of how this world worked.

People called this world the Yonghe Continent. The Yonghe Continent was not dominated by the human clan. Beyond the walls of human cities, there were countless fierce beasts running rampant. To humans, this world was very dangerous and they were constantly challenged with the problem of survival. Oftentimes, a large number of fierce beasts would attack the human cities, and sometimes the cities would be destroyed.

Therefore, every city would set up a large amount of sentries to act as an early warning buffer zone. But the most common situation was that only a small number of fierce beasts would barge into the human territory and would pose no threat. The soldiers at the outposts would be enough to handle it. It wasn’t as dangerous as you thought. Unless one encountered a raid from a large group of beasts and got completely destroyed. If you encountered that kind of situation, you could only say you were unlucky.

The next to talk about was this world’s martial arts system. It was divided into ordinary warriors, elite warriors, master warriors, grandmaster warriors, and ancestral warriors.

He didn’t know what these warrior divisions corresponded to regarding strength. His father Wu Yuntian was a high level elite warrior. From Su Hao’s point of view, he was already very strong. In terms of martial arts, he could be called a first-class master. Then what kind of existences were master and grandmaster warriors like who were further above? And what about ancestral warriors?

Would be they human-shaped nuclear bombs?

Then Su Hao’s concern became this question. If he studied and exercised, could he also reach such heights?

For today’s dinner, they ate the meat of a yellow-furred rat fierce beast. The meat was soft and crispy, with a bit of added grease, and tossing on a bit of seasoning after roasting it, it was delicious.

While Su Hao enjoyed the skewers, he bravely turned to Wu Yuntian who was sitting quietly beside him and said: “Father, I want to learn martial arts. Please teach me!”

Yu Yuntian glanced at him and lightly said: “You’re still young. Wait until you’re six and then I’ll teach you.”

When Su Hao heard this, his mind froze. According to his previous experiences, there was no guarantee that he could even live past 5 years. If he really waited until he was 6, he would most likely have to wait another few million years.

He had to obtain the ability to protect himself as quickly as possible.

Su Hao then asked: “Why do I have to wait until I’m 6 to learn?”

“I don’t know. I started learning when I was 6. Everyone else also starts learning when they’re 6.”

“I don’t think that this is reasonable.”

“Why is it not reasonable?”

“The right way to do things should be different for each person, and the time when they should start should be different. Father, you said you started learning when you were 6. Perhaps that’s suitable for most people, but it’s not necessarily suitable for me. Suppose the best time for me to study is at 3 years old? If we miss this optimal timing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be stronger in the future.”

Wu Yuntian seemed to recognize his son for the first time. Since when did this boy speak so eloquently. Thinking back, was he like this when he was 3? He became interested.

“Your logic has flaws. How will you know what age is most suitable for you to learn martial arts?”

“How is the logic flawed? For example, if everyone was squatted to pee, then do I also have to squat to pee?”

Wu Yuntian just had his mouth open for a while. He felt like there was a problem with what this kid was saying, but he didn’t know where the problem was.

Su Hao observed Wu Yuntian’s expression and added: “Wanting to know when’s the best time for me to learn martial arts? Isn’t that easy? Can’t you just test it?”

That was pretty reasonable. Wu Yuntian hesitated for a bit.

Su Had added to the fire again: “I know why everyone starts to practice at 6. It’s because children before the age of 6 are immature and don’t understand enough and it’s easy for them to harm themselves.

Su Hao puffed out his chest and patted: “I’m not the same! Father, could it be that you don’t believe in me at all?”

After a bit, Wu Yuntian nodded and said: “Fine. Let’s test it.”

Su Hao didn’t have the chance to get excited before Wu Yuntian followed up with: “But you’re still too young. Grow a bit more. In half a year, I’ll try to properly train you.”

Su Hao gladly accepted. Half a year wasn’t too bad. He could wait!

He would take advantage of this half year and continue to study inside the marble room and consolidate his knowledge of the human body.
