A New World

Faced with Nangong Ru's praise, Zhang Yunhao said gratefully, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister's excellent teaching."

"I know my own teaching level, you're just very smart," Nangong Ru replied.

"However, precisely because you are such a genius, I'm actually a little worried."

"Why?"

Zhang Yunhao was confused. Was being a genius a bad thing? If so, he seemed to be very wrong.

"You are a genius with high comprehension and aptitude. At the same time, you have a cultivation technique that can rapidly improve your strength, which means you will advance by leaps and bounds in the future."

"Isn't that good?"

"This will make your foundation unstable. It won't be an issue in the early stages, but later on, you'll have to spend ten times the effort to compensate for your unstable foundation, and you might not even be able to fix it."

Nangong Ru said seriously, "This world doesn't lack geniuses, but often, this very talent can hinder a martial artist. That's why in many major sects and aristocratic families, they suppress these geniuses and prevent them from breaking through."

"Ah?"

Zhang Yunhao was stunned. If that were the case, it would be troublesome. He was in a hurry to break through because he wanted revenge. Although he had calmed down, his heart was still filled with anxiety and anger. Every day he thought about killing the Great Elder for revenge, only suppressing it with reason.

Furthermore, Zhang Yunhao also needed to be in the top ten of the Rookie Competition to officially become a disciple. He also really wanted to perform well in the Rookie Competition to make the Zhang Family and Heavenly Fist Sect regret their decisions!

To achieve all of this, he needed to break through as soon as possible, but the problem was that his foundation would be extremely unstable!

Nangong Ru said, "You'll have to judge the scale of this yourself. However, since you broke through to the True Qi Realm several years ago, your foundation should be sufficient to break through to the Divine Sea Realm."

Zhang Yunhao gave a wry smile. Everyone now believed that he had broken through to the True Qi Realm years ago and had endured for years to contend with Zhang Yuntang. Otherwise, there was no reason he could have defeated Zhang Yuntang!

The problem was, that wasn't true. He had only broken through more than twenty days ago. His foundation was probably as hollow as tofu. Speaking of which, it was thanks to Nangong Ru's careful guidance over the past half month; otherwise, it would have been worse than tofu!

Nangong Ru continued, "Alright, half a month ago, you helped us capture three people from the Zhang Family who were cultivating Demonic Arts. We've been following up on this matter during this time and have made many discoveries. You'll have an operation in a few days, so be prepared."

"Yes, Senior Sister!"

Zhang Yunhao nodded. Joining the Demon Extermination Alliance meant he couldn't just slack off. Having half a month of free time was already quite good. Moreover, the Demon Extermination Alliance's salary, or rather, stipend, was quite high, equivalent to a year's stipend for a steward of the Zhang Family, along with other benefits and perks.

After finishing her instructions, Nangong Ru left. Zhang Yunhao, however, was still thinking about his foundation. He asked the system, "System, I want to become a Martial Immortal. I can't have an unstable foundation, can I? Are there any solutions?"

The system replied, "Of course. As long as you complete another transmigration mission, you can unlock the Mind Space. Time flows differently in the Mind Space compared to the outside world, allowing you to accumulate experience and build the best foundation. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must be diligent and cultivate continuously."

"Mind Space? That's great! As for diligence, that's not a problem. I have the willpower. When can the next transmigration mission be initiated?"

Zhang Yunhao was overjoyed. As expected of the Martial Immortal Inheritance System, he no longer had to worry.

The system replied, "You can initiate the second transmigration now. Do you wish to proceed?"

Zhang Yunhao's surprise was mixed with a hint of astonishment. "Ah? So soon?"

"The system is here to assist the host. Since you need it now, the time is ripe. You can proceed."

The system continued, "This is not a system that forces you to complete missions, but a system to assist you in becoming a Martial Immortal. In the future, when you unlock all functions, you can even control transmigration yourself!"

"I can control it myself?"

Zhang Yunhao's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, System, can I bring some items with me during transmigration?"

"Not for now. Only after unlocking the Storage Space can you place items inside and bring them along."

The system replied, "However, the Blood Origin Pearl is an exception. It is a divine-grade item and can be brought along. As for items brought back, there are not many restrictions. As long as you are holding them, you can bring them back."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Yunhao was a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to bring some pills and other auxiliary items, but it seemed that wasn't possible. He took a deep breath and said, "Initiate it!"

Blood Hand Tian Ming was originally an illegitimate child. He suffered scorn and bullying since childhood, so after growing up, he acted erratically and violently, becoming a notorious evil path expert in the martial world!

Later, at the request of his junior sister, Tian Ming, along with other experts, went to assassinate the corrupt and destructive Grand Eunuch Cao Dan. However, they were betrayed by the world-renowned Great Hero of Southern Mountain and fell into an ambush by a large army, dying tragically with the others.

"This Tian Ming is truly a tragic figure. He never did a good deed in his life. The one time he tried to be a hero, he ended up dying tragically," Zhang Yunhao mused, recalling the memories in his mind. Unlike last time, he regained consciousness very quickly this time, and Tian Ming's angry emotions dissipated just as quickly.

"Does anyone with True Qi count as an expert in this world? It seems the level isn't very high, which is perfect for me."

Zhang Yunhao rejoiced in his heart as a light screen popped up before him.

Mission Background: The Emperor of Jin is young, and the Grand Eunuch Cao Dan controls the court, framing loyal officials, and extorting the populace, causing widespread suffering and misery!

Mission Objective: Kill Cao Dan!

Mission Reward: Unlock Mind Space!

"This mission... it's truly righteous! Am I playing the hero this time?"

Zhang Yunhao looked at the light screen before him, finding it quite tricky, much more so than killing King Yue.

Firstly, the Grand Eunuch Cao Dan cultivates a virginity technique, making him impervious to blades and spears. He is a top-tier expert. More importantly, he holds immense power in the court and commands a large number of secret agents and troops!

In movies, no matter how powerful the villain is, they always end up in a one-on-one fight with the protagonist. But in reality, there's no such luck. The villain has a whole gang of lackeys, and their lives are precious. Would they engage in a one-on-one fight with you? What a joke!

In the original history, Tian Ming and the others were ambushed by a large army. Cao Dan never even made a move. What was his status that he would casually fight with others?

"Speaking of which, why is it killing Cao Dan, and not the hypocrite Great Hero of Southern Mountain, who deserves it more?"

Zhang Yunhao was a little confused. After the light screen disappeared, he looked around the empty space, pondering how to complete this mission. Regardless, the Mind Space was something he was determined to obtain!

"According to the memories, in a month, that woman will come looking for Tian Ming, wanting to kill Cao Dan. I'm afraid this incident will be used again."

Zhang Yunhao quickly came up with a preliminary plan: "And during this month, what I need to do is improve my strength. For others, a month won't bring much improvement, but I have the Martial Immortal System. A month is enough for me to advance by leaps and bounds and become a top-tier expert comparable to Cao Dan!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunhao suddenly started laughing. "Heh heh, in the Martial Immortal world, I had to be restrained, but in this world, I can act with impunity!"
