Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 289: Ambition Changes Persian Master
"You, me, him...they..."
The boy scratched his head, still seeming a little confused.
"How foolish." Just as he was confused and lost, a childish voice suddenly appeared beside him, "In this world of martial arts, success and failure are the only outcome. Ninety percent of people fail, and only the tenth percent can dominate the world and laugh at the world."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised again, because the person who spoke was actually a half-grown child.
It was the little baby in Mrs. Wu’s arms, Wu Ming.
The young man with the surname Sikong lowered his head and said, "Then why do we have to fight for victory or defeat? As long as they can live a carefree life, even those in the 90% will probably be happy. Why bother thinking about fighting and killing all the time?"
Wu Ming still looked a little weak, but his expression was calm. "Why so many whys? Once you enter this martial world, how can everything go your way? Those who succeed will become famous, while those who fail will be beheaded. Nine out of ten martial artists in the world will die, and the rest will be the outstanding geniuses of this martial world. I..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed a group of adults staring at him. He couldn't help but show timidity in his eyes, but soon he opened his eyes wide and looked back at everyone without avoiding them. "Am I wrong?"
"That's right." Li Muchan sighed repeatedly. He still remembered when he first met Wu Ming. He was still a naive and innocent child, but now he had such shocking words. "You seem to have something else to say. Why don't you continue? Do you want to become famous? Or to have great ambitions? Or to accomplish great things?"
It wouldn't be surprising if a martial arts master who had fought for a long time said this, but the child is only a few years old. I think he must have experienced family changes, the destruction of his family, and all kinds of life and death hardships, which changed his character and made him have such an awareness.
Wu Ming lowered his head but remained silent.
Li Muchan thought the child's thoughts were limited to this, but he suddenly heard him mutter to himself, "Whether it's the 90% or the 10%, they're all just ordinary people in this world. What's there to be happy about?"
Although the man's voice was low, everyone present heard it clearly.
Shangguan Xiaoxian held Ye'er in her arms and looked at Li Muchan meaningfully.
The ambition hidden in this sentence is truly extraordinary. It would be fine if this person fails to rise in the future, but once he rises, he will be another Li Muchan, swallowing up the heaven and earth, transcending all living things, and becoming a unique existence.
Even if he had not risen, just based on those words, it was destined that this boy was not an ordinary person.
Li Muchan smiled and sighed softly, "What a turbulent world! There are so many heroes in the world."
Ye'er suddenly interrupted and said, "Uncle, are you considered a hero?"
Li Muchan laughed heartily and rubbed the little girl's face. "Not really... Uncle, at most I was just standing on the river bank fishing."
I don’t know how much time passed like this, I only said that the sky was changing little by little. At first, there were , but as time went on, it gradually calmed down.
Before I knew it, even the sun above my head had dimmed. Although it was still bright and shining, I couldn't feel any warmth. It soon disappeared into the thick clouds.
Originally, everyone was still able to chat a little to relieve their loneliness. Ding Linglin would occasionally exchange a few words with Shangguan Xiaoxian. She was originally full of energy, but when she saw the change in the weather, her face immediately turned pale.
"Oh no, a storm is coming!"
The sea seemed calm, but the air became inexplicably hot and humid.
The boy's face also showed panic.
Li Muchan stood up, squinting his eyes as he watched the clouds gathering and rolling in the sky. After a while, he whispered, "Retract the sails. The wind is about to pick up."
He said the wind was rising, and it was indeed rising.
The sky was bright at first, but it became visibly dark in just three or two breaths. A strong wind blew over the sea, and the blue waves turned into black waves, rushing left and right.
The remaining few people were already scared out of their wits, but Shangguan Xiaoxian was the only one who was not afraid at all. She mastered the unique skill of controlling water, the Divine Water Skill. If there was no wind or rain, it would be fine. But if there was wind and rain, entering the water was like turning into a dragon, and she was like a fish in water.
"Go back and hide in the cabin." Shangguan Xiaoxian said in a serious voice.
After saying that, he handed Ye'er to Ding Linglin.
After they entered the cabin, she walked over to Li Muchan and asked with a frown, "What should we do?"
Li Muchan looked at the thick clouds that stretched to an almost endless distance and whispered, "The timing is perfect, let's rush out."
The storm is coming, who dares not to avoid it?
Zhu Da and his men must also want to hide, so this is a good opportunity to go deep into the sea.
Shangguan Xiaoxian didn't say much, just said be careful, then flew to the stern of the ship.
The sails have been lowered, and now they can only rely on the strength of the two of them to force their way through the wind and rain.
But it is easier said than done.
Li Muchan slowly pushed the sea surface with one hand, and the ship immediately sailed in the direction that had been planned long ago.
Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't wait for the big waves to rise. Her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she stretched out her arms. Suddenly, water vapor filled the sky and crashed into the sea like a tidal wave. With the powerful force bursting out, a huge wave hit the stern of the ship between the rise and fall, as if an invisible big hand pushed the ship out.
Only with the help of the two top masters did the ship suddenly speed up.
Fast, indescribably fast.
It was like an arrow shot from a bow, so fast that it almost flew out of the water and sailed away on the waves with the wind.
The sky grew darker.
The dark clouds were low and heavy. From a distance, they looked like rolling black mountains hanging upside down in the sky, making it hard to breathe.
Being in the situation, even Li Muchan couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Among the black waves, there are huge monsters that appear and disappear. Occasionally, their huge tails rise from the water, splashing water columns that reach the sky and making deafening noises.
Is this the power of heaven and earth?
Li Muchan took a deep breath after a long time. His eyes flickered and he suddenly looked into the depths of the wind and rain, and saw an island jump into his sight.
There were shadows moving across the island.
These people seemed shocked that Li Muchan and his companions dared to fight against the wind and waves. They just watched from afar without taking any action.
"To the right."
Suddenly, the young man crawled out of the cabin, with a rope tied around his waist, holding on to the mast tightly.
Upon hearing this, Li Muchan immediately stirred the waves on the left side with his powerful palm force, and the ship immediately turned to the right.
The wind and rain grew stronger and stronger. Although they encountered several big waves along the way, fortunately they were safe and sound and avoided them with the efforts of the two of them.
The young man held the compass tightly in his hand and warned in a hoarse voice, "Further ahead, we will enter the route that leads to the deep sea. There is an isolated island there."
Not long after he finished speaking, Li Muchan saw a medium-sized island in front of him.
"Continue to the right...ah, there's someone..." the young man exclaimed, holding up his clairvoyance.
Li Muchan fixed his gaze and looked towards the island from a distance. He saw three people sitting cross-legged on a huge reef in the wind and rain. Regardless of the wind and rain, they remained motionless, as if they were three statues of gods.
The three of them saw them almost at the same time, as if they were guarding the entrance. Their eyes lit up with a gleam of light, which was really shocking.
"Persian master?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian rushed to the bow of the ship and saw that the three people opposite were dressed differently from the people in the Central Plains, and they were ready to fight.
But until the ship rounded the island, the three men did not make any movement and just watched quietly from beginning to end.
"Aren't they Zhu Da's men?" Shangguan Xiaoxian asked in surprise.
Li Muchan's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "They probably want to wait until we're far away from the island before taking action."
As they spoke, the three men leaped forward, raised their arms, and flew into the air, chasing after them like flying birds.
Li Muchan looked calm as he slowly took off his outer robe and put it on Shangguan Xiaoxian.
Then he came to the stern, looked at the three figures approaching in the wind, rain and waves, took a step forward, and stepped into the ocean.
