My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 19 Agreement
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Zhou Huan was stunned, his eyes a little dazed.

His memory went back to a Friday half a year ago.

At that time, he had not yet noticed Chu Mu's excellence.

That day was the same as yesterday, with a martial arts class.

After class, Zhou Huan received a call from an old friend, who was a comrade-in-arms who had fought with him on the front lines.

The two chatted for a long time, talking about his experience of becoming a martial arts teacher after retiring from the front line, each other's current situation, and the current situation of several other comrades.

After the call ended, Zhou Huan recalled the past and pulled out his second knife, which he hadn't used for who knows how long, and swung it around in the empty training room. When he came to his senses, he found Chu Mu standing outside the training room, staring at him blankly.

Chu Mu was surprised at his knife, and he was surprised that Chu Mu had not returned home so late.

After asking this question, Zhou Huan learned that Chu Mu had a weak foundation in martial arts, so he would train extra for a long time at school after school every day before going home.

After that, he couldn't help but pay more attention to this young man, and discovered that while his skill base was at the bottom of the class, his improvement speed was far ahead of the rest of the class.

Looking at the determined Chu Mu in front of him, Zhou Huan suddenly thought of a picture in his mind.

That was the scene in the virtual battle with Xu Qiu yesterday, when Chu Mu made a sword-swinging motion with his left hand.

After a long silence and a lot of thought, he finally seemed to have made up his mind and spoke in a deep voice.

"You can learn dual swords if you want."

"But there's a condition."

"If you can achieve it, I will teach you."

"You can't achieve it. Don't mention this matter again during your three years of high school."

"Okay!" Chu Mu's eyes lit up, knowing that his persistence finally made Zhou Huan relax. "What are the conditions?"

"One week." Zhou Huan paused for a moment, "I will only give you one week. If your left-hand skills reach the second level within one week, I will teach you how to use dual swords."

"One week..." Chu Mu took a deep breath.

It's hard.

It took him nine months to improve his right-hand skills to the second level.

Although I have made a breakthrough once, it will be quick to improve my left hand, but there is still little hope within a week.

Of course, this is normal.

Including the training time of the mantis beast...

"No problem!" Chu Mu's eyes lit up and he spoke in a deep voice.

"You are quite confident."

Zhou Huan shook his head slightly, picked up a piece of pickled radish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, "This is the most expensive pickled radish I have ever eaten."

Chu Mu grinned a little embarrassedly, "Teacher, please eat slowly. I will make it for you after you finish eating."

"roll!"

"Hey, okay!"
-
[Basic strength: 382.3 kg]

[Explosive force: 489.3 kg]

[Strength Burst Rate: 128%]

[Skill Level: Level 1]

Inside the rental house, Chu Mu touched his chin and looked at the power burst rate he measured with his left hand, his expression slightly serious.

“It’s really troublesome.”

The first level is the foundation of skills, without too many realm divisions.

Generally speaking, the limit of a first-level skill is that the burst rate of power reaches 200%.

That is the limit of mobilizing the chest and arm muscles to work together.

To break through from the first level to the second level is neither difficult nor easy. It requires opening up a force-generating route throughout the body.

The force is generated by the Achilles tendon, which is then transmitted through each muscle and finally reaches the fist. There is no loss in the whole process, only the layers of accumulation brought by different muscles, like one wave higher than the other.

This is the unique way of exerting force at the second level - refining force like the tide.

With the change in the way of exerting force, the second-level power burst rate will increase from 200% to 300%, and then continue to increase. Therefore, for Chu Mu, there are two key points to reach the second level of left-handed skills.

First, let the left hand power burst rate reach 200%.

Second, open up the force route between the left hand and the Achilles tendon.

The second point, which is the most difficult for ordinary people, is easy for Chu Mu because he has had experience once.

But this first point...

It is extremely difficult to achieve it in a short period of time.

"Let's train in reality first." Chu Mu murmured in a low voice, "Put aside the right hand and only train the left hand, and see how much it can improve in a day."

"Then continue practicing in the praying beast stance."

With a plan in mind, Chu Mu walked out of the house with a training knife.

It was not until late at night that he returned home, covered in sweat.

"boom--"

[Strength Burst Rate: 135%]

"Only 7% improvement in one day?" Chu Mu frowned and couldn't help shaking his head, "Slow! Too slow!"

For beginners, this speed is like riding a rocket.

But he only had a week.

The increase in strength burst rate becomes slower and slower as time goes by, only 7% on the first day, and it will definitely not reach 200% after seven days.

After a quick shower in the bathroom, Chu Mu changed into new clothes and began his last practice of the day.

After finishing his training, he picked up the E1-level nutrient that he had prepared long ago and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the empty bottle, he frowned slightly.

The expenses are increasing.

Today I paid for my mother's follow-up treatment expenses and bought a physical fitness tester, and 30% of my savings was gone in an instant.

"There is no scholarship to earn in the short term. The next poverty subsidy will not come for more than half a month, and that alone is not enough for cultivation..." Chu Mu thought about it for a while and made a decision, "I will do a temporary job tomorrow and earn some money to supplement my income."

"Of course, we can't find one that has no technical content at all."

"We need to find a temporary worker who can be of some help to our practice."

"I'll ask tomorrow." Chu Mu touched his chin. "I'm already a Nayuan Realm warrior now. The school has registered me with the alliance. This means the alliance can help me find a part-time job."

The Alliance is particularly concerned about the employment issues of Star Warriors. If there are employment needs, the Alliance will provide assistance.

This is also the reason why Chu Mu previously believed that making money would be easier after becoming a Star Warrior.

"Let's stop here today." Chu Mu stood up and walked towards the room with strong anticipation in his eyes.

"Next, it's time for the mantis."
-
"Om-"

With a slight tremor, Chu Mu, who had transformed into a mantis beast, slashed with the blade of his left forelimb, leaving a cold trajectory in the air, and with a low whistling sound, he quickly slashed towards the lion-shaped star beast in front of him.

The lion-shaped star beast opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, as if it wanted to roar, but its throat was cut in an instant and a large amount of blood spurted out, turning the roar it was about to make into a desperate whimper.

Its body twitched as the lion-shaped star beast slowly fell to the ground. The life in its eyes quickly faded, and in the end, only a gradually cooling corpse remained.

Chu Mu shook his head helplessly.

The left hand is indeed not as good as the right hand.

If it was with the right hand, this blow would not be a throat cut, but a clean beheading.

That's it.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

Chu Mu skillfully tore open the body of the star beast in front of him, and while it was still steaming, he tasted its delicious flesh and blood. In a short while, he had eaten up the lion-shaped star beast.

Climbing up a tree to cover up the smell, Chu Mu left calmly and soon disappeared from the spot, leaving only a pile of bones.

Today, challenge yourself to hunt using only your left front limb!
