Chapter 1: Choosing Talismans
If you were given the choice to select three talismans from the twelve and permanently gain their divine power, what would you choose?
Mouse: Turn stillness into movement.
Ox: possessing immense strength.
Tiger: Yin and Yang in balance.
Rabbit: Extreme speed.
Dragon: Energy Explosion.
Snake: It can hide and disappear.
Horse: Remove external forces.
Sheep: Out-of-body experience.
Monkey: The art of transformation.
Chicken: Telekinesis.
Dogs: Immortal and ageless.
Pig: Its eyes are piercingly bright.
At this moment, the Earth's Jupiter War is facing such a difficult choice.
He was lying in bed that day, preparing to read his favorite novel. When he opened the novel app, a multiple-choice question suddenly popped up on the screen.
"What happened? Did you get a virus from browsing too many inappropriate websites?"
Mu Zhan was a little puzzled. He had just switched to a Pineapple 17, so it shouldn't have gotten a virus. He always used a backup phone when he had browsing problems.
"I give up, I just can't turn it off."
No matter what Mu Zhan did, the phone screen still displayed this interface.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Mu Zhan could only try selecting the option to see if it would close.
He looked at his phone screen and began to think things through.
"If you're going to transmigrate to Battle Through the Heavens, the Dog Talisman is a must-have, followed by the Horse Talisman."
"The dog talisman grants immortality, while the horse talisman removes all negative statuses."
"If you combine these two, you're basically safe unless you're instantly killed."
"As for this last one..."
Mu Zhan first chose the Horse Talisman and the Dog Talisman, which were basically must-haves, at a conceptual level. This third one, however, gave Mu Zhan a headache.
"No, I actually got selected, but I'm not really going to give it to you."
Mu Zhan randomly chose a tiger talisman.
A message box popped up on the phone screen.
Are you sure about your choice?
【whether】
"Yes."
The moment the phone touched Mu Zhan, it emitted a white light that illuminated the entire room and enveloped Mu Zhan.
"Holy crap, who threw that flashlight?!"
The light vanished in an instant, and the room returned to silence. The cell phone and wooden war machine on the bed had all disappeared.
Dou Qi Continent, Jia Ma Empire, Mu Family.
"Wow wow wow!"
"Chief! The lady has given birth! It's a boy!"
"Hahaha, great! I, Mu Chen, finally have a son!"
Mu Chen picked up the newborn baby and lifted him high in the air; this was the future of his Mu family.
"My name is Mu Zhan. I transmigrated and became Mu Zhan, the one who was crazy about Ya Fei, but was slapped in the face by Xiao Yan's arrogance. I'm not even a villain."
Mu Zhan was devastated. He was perfectly fine on Earth and hadn't had any major strokes of luck. How did he end up transmigrating just by answering a multiple-choice question?
At the same time, he also felt the power of the three talismans through his own experience.
He directly and permanently gained the power of the Horse, Dog, and Tiger talismans by selecting those three talismans on his phone.
Mu Zhan also discovered that his newly purchased Pineapple 17 had also traveled with him and was now existing deep within his consciousness.
The phone was currently switched off. Mu Zhan tried to use his consciousness to operate the phone to travel back in time, but found that the phone was out of power and could not be turned on.
I can't go back for now, at least not until my phone has power. I'll just have to wait and see how I can charge my phone later.
The baby's body was still too weak, and Mu Zhan fell into a deep sleep again after only a short time of waking up.
……
As time went by, Mu Zhan gradually accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.
During this time, he tried many ways to charge the phone, but none of them worked. The phone remained deep in his mind, unchanged.
When he was four years old, Mu Zhan cultivated his first wisp of fighting spirit, and the phone finally responded, displaying a boot progress bar.
Mu Zhan saw that the progress bar hadn't stopped, so the phone's startup was linked to his cultivation level.
He was an orphan on Earth, growing up in an orphanage and never having met his parents.
But Mu Zhan was not alone. He had a half-sister in the orphanage. The two had been together since childhood, keeping each other company and having a very good relationship.
Later, the orphanage closed down for some unknown reason, and in the chaos, Mu Zhan and his sister got separated.
After leaving the orphanage, he entered society to work and earn money at a young age. Through hard work, he achieved some success. Later, he searched for his sister through various channels but found no news and eventually had to give up.
In his spare time, Mu Zhan likes to read novels, and his favorite novel is Battle Through the Heavens. He never expected that one day he would actually transmigrate like in the novel.
"Oh well, what's done is done."
Having entered society at a young age, Mu Zhan developed a resilient character. He never backs down in the face of difficulties, and his personality is just like his name.
……
"Wooden Warrior, I challenge you!"
A little girl suddenly approached Mu Zhan and challenged him to a duel.
"Who are you? We probably haven't met before, have we?"
Mu Zhan was quite puzzled. He stayed at home every day to cultivate, and at most he would teach a few of the Mu family's bullying kids a lesson. He didn't do anything else.
"My name is Nalan Yanran. They all say you're the most powerful person in the capital. I don't believe it. I'll defeat you right now."
As Nalan Yanran spoke, she already assumed a fighting stance.
"Regretful sister?"
Looking at Nalan Yanran, who is still a little girl, Mu Zhan vaguely saw the shadow of the future young sect master of Yunlan Sect.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you don't mind if I teach your fiancée a lesson beforehand, do you?"
Mu Zhan decided to teach this arrogant little girl a lesson and let her experience the harsh realities of society firsthand.
Mu Zhan beckoned to Nalan Yanran, indicating that she could go up whenever she wanted.
"How dare you look down on me?"
Seeing Mu Zhan's nonchalant demeanor, Nalan Yanran clenched her fists, ready to teach him a lesson.
As a result, she couldn't touch Mu Zhan with either her fists or legs, while Mu Zhan knocked Nalan Yanran to the ground with just a few punches and kicks.
Of course, Mu Zhan held back, and since there was no enmity between them, it would be bad for the relationship between the two families if he really hurt the little girl.
"Are you convinced?"
Mu Zhan stepped on Nalan Yanran, who was lying on the ground.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Nalan Yanran was pinned under Mu Zhan's feet, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free. Mu Zhan's foot was like a boulder, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move it.
Finally, it was Nalan Su who came to the Mu family to take Nalan Yanran away.
Thus, although Mu Zhan returned to his cultivation days, Nalan Yanran would occasionally come to his door to attack him, and each time she was defeated by Mu Zhan. He fought and fought again, but he never gave up.
Mu Zhan began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of four, reached the ninth level of Dou Qi at the age of nine, and condensed a Dou Qi vortex at the age of ten, becoming a Dou Zhe (Fighter).
During the Battle Qi stage, one must proceed steadily and surely, using Battle Qi to temper one's physique and solidify one's foundation.
The meridians of cultivators at the Dou Qi stage are very fragile and cannot withstand the stimulation of pills, unless they possess a Foundation Building Elixir specifically designed for Dou Qi cultivation, like the one given by the Old Man of Medicine.
Mu Zhan felt that his fighting style was fierce and domineering; he liked the kind of fighting style where every punch landed squarely.
Therefore, the Wood Warrior places great emphasis on physical training. Moreover, with the Horse Talisman, the Wood Warrior can continuously train and repair without damaging his muscles and bones.
Therefore, Mu Zhan's physical strength at the Battle Qi stage far surpasses that of others of the same level.
