. Yang Mu returned to his room and thought about what had happened today. It seemed that the General's Estate was not peaceful. He had no power and influence. Although he was still young and would not be taken seriously by others, and he was Liu Baiyi's adopted son, he was still an outsider. Hearing Liu Baiyi's words today, it was obvious that he did not get along with Liu Baiyu.
Liu Baiyu had endured under Liu Baiyi for so many years. It was very likely that he would take some action because of this matter as a fuse. Perhaps he would first use himself to test Liu Baiyi's reaction. Perhaps he would take more extreme actions and directly use Liu Jie as an example. Or perhaps he would take some other action. However, no matter what they were prepared to do, it was very dangerous for him to stay here. Moreover, he did not have the ability to protect himself now. He would be equivalent to a chicken that was at the mercy of others.
A sense of crisis rushed into Yang Mu's heart. He didn't have a good solution now. Yang Mu also wanted to leave, but he thought about it. He was a seven-year-old child. Even if he left, where could he go? Perhaps they would starve to death on the way, or they might be killed by bandits and eaten by wild beasts. He had read many things in books. In this world, bandits were everywhere, and wild beasts often killed humans.
Yang Mu shook his head. It seemed that it was not easy to survive in this world. It was impossible to leave this place now. Since there were legendary martial arts in novels and myths, as long as he became stronger, what could threaten his life?
Yang Mu secretly made up his mind.
The next day, Liu Jie brought Yang Mu to the school in the city early in the morning. The language of the Dayu Empire was the same as the language of Yang Mu's hometown. Yang Mu was surprised to find that he had a photographic memory.
He compared some historical and literary allusions with the teachers in the school. In the end, he even plagiarized a seven-year-old poem from a predecessor.
"Goose, goose, goose, bend your neck and sing to the sky. White hair floating in the green water, red palms stirring the clear waves!”
Hearing this, the teacher's eyes lit up with excitement. Yang Mu was shocked that he was a child prodigy, and he wanted to take Yang Mu as his last disciple and teach him well.
However, Yang Mu tactfully refused and expressed that he did not want to waste his time in school. The teacher felt that he really had nothing to teach Yang Mu, so he could only agree.
In the end, this matter alarmed General Liu Baiyi. After Liu Baiyi was shocked, he specially bought a study room for Yang Mu and provided a large number of books. Moreover, Yang Mu did not have any talent for martial arts, so he did not let Yang Mu learn martial arts.
Under Liu Jie's envious gaze, Yang Mu no longer went to school in the morning. He stayed alone in his study every day. The general had specially instructed that the family should try their best to satisfy Yang Mu's request for books.
The door of the study was closed every day. When it was time to deliver food, the servant girl would follow Yang Mu's instructions and put it at the door, not allowing anyone to enter the study. Only Liu Jie could go in and talk to Yang Mu at noon.
Everyone thought that Yang Mu was reading seriously in his room, but that was not the case. Yang Mu only spent a small portion of his time reading books every day, and what he read was also martial arts books. At first, when Yang Mu asked for the books for physical training, the others were a little puzzled. However, they thought that this young master was only interested in it, so they did not pay much attention to it. They thought they were smart and gave Yang Mu Song all the books for Level Seven martial artists and below. She thought that when the young master lost interest, he would definitely throw these books aside.
What was Yang Mu doing in the room? Of course, he was training hard. Yang Mu didn't believe that Liu Baiyi couldn't see the danger at hand, but he was just an outsider, so Liu Baiyi wouldn't care too much about his safety. Yang Mu could see that after that incident, Liu Jie always had two or three servants following him. In Yang Mu's eyes, these people were definitely experts.
According to the records in the book, body training was to train the entire body to be flexible. Bending over, standing upside down, stretching the legs to the center of the eyebrows, this was just the beginning of body training. After meeting the requirements, he would have to perfect his body training. He would be able to somersault a hundred times without feeling tired or panting, stand upside down for three incense sticks, and stand up with great strength. Only by reaching this realm could one be considered to have cultivated the body to perfection. They had also stepped into the ranks of Level One martial artists and could proceed to the next step of practicing boxing.
At this moment, Yang Mu was standing upside down against the wall in the study room, sweating profusely. There was an incense burning on the desk, and it was almost finished.
Others said that Yang Mu was not made for martial arts, but after Yang Mu started practicing, he felt that he had made rapid progress. In less than five days, he had already mastered the first stage. Yesterday, he had actually done more than 200 somersaults in a row. Although he was not tired or breathless, it was still very rare. Today, he had already stood upside down for more than two hours. Yang Mu estimated that he would be able to practice boxing as a Level Two martial artist after two or three days of practice.
In fact, Yang Mu didn't have a master to teach him. If he had, he would have been able to practice boxing long ago. The book said that somersaulting 100 times without being tired or panting was the standard for a Level One martial artist. However, Yang Mu didn't know that the book was just exaggerating. Even a Level Four martial artist would be panting after somersaulting 100 times.
Just because Yang Mu practiced according to the book in a daze, he had laid a solid foundation for himself. In the future, he would be able to practice any martial arts at an incredible speed.
On this day, the door was gently pushed open. Liu Jie walked in with a dejected expression.
"Sworn brother, my father is going out to war tomorrow. The Great Yu has already decided to attack our neighboring country, Zhao. My father said that things might change again without him at home. He wants to send me to my grandmother's house.”
Yang Mu's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself,'It's dangerous.' He couldn't help but ask Liu Jie carefully,"Godfather, did Godfather mention me during this expedition?”
"No. Oh, right, Father said that you should study at home. There's no need to disturb you! Alright, I'm leaving. I'll be back after a while. At that time, we'll play together.”Liu Jie skipped out of the room.
After gently closing the door, Yang Mu's brows quickly furrowed, and his heart turned cold. Liu Baiyi had sent his son away, but he didn't care about him. It was obvious that he had given up on him. What should he do? Now, there was only one way. Although there were some unknown dangers, it was better than waiting for death here.
He had to leave this place immediately.
The next day, the Great General really went out to battle, and Liu Jie also followed Liu-shi out of the mansion. Liu Baiyu had the final say in the entire Liu Residence.
Yang Mu, who was in the study, felt that he was in a very dangerous situation and could not stay any longer. Thinking of this, Yang Mu did not stay any longer and quickly left the study. He went to his room and took out an ingot of silver from under his bed. It was about three taels. Yang Mu had practiced martial arts and was much stronger now. He hastily prepared a bag and quickly left the mansion.
When others asked Yang Mu where he was going, Yang Mu only said that it was better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. He went out for a walk and would be back soon.
Yang Mu spent one tael of silver and called for one or two horse carriages. They quickly left the border town and headed inland of the Dayu Empire.
Sitting in the carriage, Yang Mu felt much more at ease.
What Yang Mu did not know was that two miles behind him, five fast horses were closely following his carriage.
Kaiyang City was more than 1,000 miles away from the border city. There were countless cities in between. It was a major city in the west of Dayu Empire. Its prosperity was ranked among the top in the entire Dayu Empire.
A carriage came to a stop outside the city. A pretty boy of about eight or nine years old walked out of the carriage. His eyes were full of vigor and he was dressed luxuriously. At first glance, one would definitely think that he was the young master of some family.
This youth was Yang Mu, who had been running around for half a month.
Yang Mu sized up the city wall in front of him. It was actually several feet higher than Border City, and the city gate was also much bigger. As people came and went, Yang Mu felt a trace of pride rise from the bottom of his heart.
After sending off the coachman, Yang Mu slowly walked into Kaiyang City.
The reason why Yang Mu came to Kaiyang City was because there was the largest academy in the western part of Dayu, the Dayu Martial Arts School.
According to the introduction in the book, the western branch of Dayu was directly under the Dayu Martial School, which was directly under the Dayu Empire.
This was a base for nurturing talents for the country. Children who had reached the age of seven could join this place. If they did not reach Level Seven, they would not be allowed to graduate. If they did not reach Level Seven before the age of eighteen, there was only one outcome: they would be expelled from school. This condition was extremely harsh. Martial artists before Level Seven would definitely reach it as long as they had the willpower. It was only a matter of time. Of course, if they had good aptitude, they would reach it faster.
However, Level Seven was different. Level Six to Level Seven was a dividing line. It could also be said to be the difference between heaven and earth. Level Seven Pulse Charging was an unknown number of people who were stuck at this stage.
The graduation rate of the Dayu Western Branch was also very low. It was already very high to have one graduate a year.
Yang Mu's purpose for coming here was to join this academy and find a place to settle down to improve his strength.
There was another condition to enter the Western Branch of the Dayu Martial Arts School. One had to be a noble and one had to pay 100 taels of silver.
Yang Mu's status as a noble was already there. After all, he was now a baron. The hundred taels of silver was gone. A baron could use his identity certificate to receive five taels of silver every month. Yang Mu had less than three taels of silver left after paying the carriage fee. One hundred taels of silver was Yang Mu's biggest problem now. What should he do?
