Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

"So, where are we going? Even if there's no plan, we need a first stop, right?" Huang Rong asked eagerly.

"The Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique is a Mongolian esoteric technique. Our first stop is…" Chu Yang sighed. "Mongolia."

Huang Rong's eyes sparkled. Clapping her hands, she exclaimed, "Mongolia sounds wonderful! I've never been there before. I hear the grasslands are vast!"

Guo Jing, hearing this, chimed in excitedly, "Huang Rong, the grasslands also have herds of sheep, wild horses, and falcons. We could herd sheep and ride horses together!"

Huang Rong's face darkened immediately. Interrupted mid-sentence, her enthusiasm vanished. "Mind your business! Who wants to herd sheep with you?!"

Chu Yang chuckled. "Guo Jing, weren't you looking for your masters? How do you have the time to tag along to Mongolia? Don't you care about them anymore?"

Guo Jing opened his mouth but had no retort. He slumped, dejected, like a punctured balloon.

Yes.

The masters haven't been found yet, and now he's planning to go back to Mongolia with Miss Huang?

Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo frowned deeply.

Originally, they hoped to live near Chu Yang, thinking that if they spent more time together, Chu Yang might develop feelings for Mu Nianci.

Unexpectedly, he's planning to go far away.

Yang Tiexin thought that if Chu Yang and Huang Rong left now, by the time they returned, there might even be kids fetching soy sauce already!

Mu Nianci also seemed to sense the crisis. Summoning her courage, she approached her parents for help that night. The family, along with Yang Kang, brainstormed ways to support Mu Nianci.

Meanwhile, Chu Yang was making plans of his own.

The sword techniques of Origin Breathing needed refinement by referencing more advanced swordsmanship. His close combat skills also required enhancement through intricate martial arts techniques.

Among various martial arts, many could even improve one's aptitude or unlock hidden potential, yielding miraculous effects. These were exactly what Chu Yang sought.

However, something even more crucial stood out.

While the combat power of the wuxia world couldn't match realms like Bleach or Naruto, it contained something far deeper than raw power.

Dao! Or one could call it Laws.

To ascend to a higher existence, simply accumulating raw power was insufficient.

The Bleach world stood out because zanpakutō embodied the materialization of certain principles or laws, even if it was still distant from true laws.

Other worlds were even further away from such concepts.

Only the wuxia world—or worlds influenced by Eastern culture—allowed Chu Yang to grasp such ideas.

For example, Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Sutra or the Tai Xuan Sutra from Ode to Gallantry.

Both martial arts approached Dao within the wuxia world. Comprehending Dao was immensely important for Chu Yang; it was a seed that could grow into a towering tree, determining how high he could ascend.

However, neither Taiji nor Tai Xuan Sutra was easy to obtain.

Zhang Sanfeng wasn't someone easily subdued. Even if Chu Yang could defeat the renowned Zhang Zhenren, knowledge contained in someone's mind couldn't be forcibly extracted.

As for the mysterious Isle of Heroes, it rivaled the Bermuda Triangle in enigma. Without a map, finding it was akin to chasing pipe dreams.

Thus, Chu Yang decided to start small, collecting practical martial arts first.

The Nine Yin Manual was the foundational text of all martial arts. Beyond its advanced techniques, it contained principles applicable to various styles, akin to an encyclopedia.

For a novice like Chu Yang, it was incredibly beginner-friendly.

Two other beginner-friendly martial arts were the Nine Yang Divine Art and Great Shift of the Universe.

Mastering the Nine Yang Divine Art generated endless internal energy, turning even simple punches and kicks into devastating attacks. Its defensive properties were unparalleled, automatically shielding the user and reflecting external attacks, creating a body as unyielding as diamond. Its lightness techniques surpassed all others in agility, and it was also a master healing method, making one immune to all poisons while countering cold or toxic internal energy.

The Nine Yang Divine Art perfectly complemented Chu Yang, almost as if it had been tailored for him, enhancing his current capabilities comprehensively.

Similarly, Great Shift of the Universe was a masterpiece of martial arts. Like the Nine Yin Manual, it offered the ability to redirect enemy power and unlock latent potential.

Combined, these two techniques had propelled even Zhang Wuji—a so-called "loser"—into one of the top five experts in the wuxia world, demonstrating their unparalleled value.

Compared to the elusive Tai Xuan Sutra, these two were far easier to obtain.

There were many other notable martial arts, such as the Shaolin Temple's Muscle Tendon Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, the miraculous Shining Sutra, and the Free and Unfettered Sect's collection of unique skills.

However, Chu Yang prioritized one particular martial art:

Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique!

Its effects were simple yet overwhelming: every level mastered granted the strength of one dragon and one elephant, up to a total of thirteen levels.

Imagine a Chu Yang with the strength of thirteen dragons and elephants—how terrifying would his Black Flash technique become?

He wouldn't just "dominate the world" metaphorically; he could literally crush it. Even Gojo Satoru's Limitless Technique or Sukuna's terrifying abilities would be no match.

Only someone of Yamamoto Genryūsai's caliber might have a chance of surviving Chu Yang's enhanced Black Flash.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique's strength came with an insane cultivation difficulty.

The original description stated that it took an ordinary person one year to master the first level, two years for the second, four years for the third, and so on, with the thirteenth level requiring a staggering 8192 years.

Over 8000 years—enough time to ascend in the cultivation world!

Yet Chu Yang wasn't an ordinary person.

With his talent-sharing ability, he could accelerate the process. Just as the Golden Wheel Monk greatly reduced his training time, Chu Yang could do the same.

Additionally, the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique was likely compatible with the Shadow Clone Technique.

Being a purely external martial art, it bypassed the Shadow Clone Technique's chakra limitations, making it ideal for parallel training.

However, this theory required personal testing.

The next day, sunlight filtered through Chu Yang's window.

Bang!

The door was violently kicked open.

Awakened abruptly, Chu Yang rubbed his eyes to find an irate Huang Rong storming in.

Caught off guard, wearing only a single layer of clothing, he exclaimed, "What are you doing? We're brothers, remember?"

Huang Rong rolled her eyes and pulled him out of bed, yelling, "Uncle Yang and the others are gone!"

"Gone?" Chu Yang was puzzled. "Weren't they staying here last night? Did they leave early?"

"They didn't just step out!" Huang Rong stomped her foot. "They left without a word, abandoning Sister Mu. She's alone in the courtyard, not knowing what to do."

Gone? Leaving only Mu Nianci? What kind of drama was this?

Puzzled, Chu Yang got dressed and followed Huang Rong to the courtyard.

There, Mu Nianci nervously fiddled with her hair, her cheeks flushed as she avoided meeting their gazes.

"Ahem, Miss Mu, where did Uncle Yang and the others go?" Chu Yang awkwardly asked.

"My father said I should first visit Auntie Guo in Mongolia, and they'll come later…" Mu Nianci mumbled, her voice so soft that Chu Yang barely made out the words.

Turning to Huang Rong, Chu Yang found her equally baffled.

"Uncle Yang expects you to travel to Mongolia alone?" Huang Rong questioned, her tone skeptical. "That's a long journey! Doesn't he worry about your safety as a young lady? The route passes through several countries; it's no simple walk in the park."

Chu Yang recalled the peculiar geography of this world. Without Huang Rong's help, he wouldn't even know where to go. All he had was a map leading to the Jin Kingdom.

Huang Rong's questioning embarrassed Mu Nianci further. Resentful of Yang Kang's ill-conceived plan, she hesitated to outright ask Chu Yang for assistance.

"I'll manage…" she murmured, unwilling to plead directly.

This stirred Huang Rong's conscience. Though mischievous, she had a kind heart. Over time, she'd grown fond of Mu Nianci, one of her few companions.

"Ugh, what a mess! Fine, fine. We can't let you go alone. Little Chu, let's take her along. We'll drop her off and then do our own thing!"

Chu Yang sighed. Traveling with just Huang Rong was manageable, but adding a third person complicated things. His Lightweight Rock Technique was only advanced enough to barely support his own flight. Carrying two passengers was out of the question.

Sensing his hesitation, Mu Nianci clenched her fists and looked at him earnestly. Despite her growing embarrassment, she held her gaze firmly.

"Sigh… Fine, fine. One sheep, two sheep—what's the difference?" Chu Yang relented. He instructed them to pack while he went to the market for a carriage.

Once Chu Yang left, Huang Rong couldn't resist teasing Mu Nianci, "Sister Mu, is Uncle Yang trying to match you with Brother Guo? Letting you meet his mother sounds like meeting the in-laws to me!"

Startled, Mu Nianci waved her hands frantically. "No, no! Brother Guo already has someone he likes. There's nothing between us! My parents haven't seen Auntie Guo in 18 years, so they're eager to reconnect. Besides, the tournament results are already set; they had no choice but to resort to this plan."

"Some plan," Huang Rong muttered. "Wait, Brother Guo has someone he likes? Who? That fool? Anyone he likes is doomed."

Mu Nianci chuckled awkwardly, unable to admit that the "unlucky" person was Huang Rong herself.

After packing their belongings, Chu Yang returned with food just in time for lunch.

"It's wontons!"

Huang Rong sat down happily. She had been craving wontons earlier, but she said instead, "Actually, we could buy the ingredients and make them ourselves. I'm pretty good at wrapping wontons."

Chu Yang pushed the bowl of wontons in front of Huang Rong and said helplessly, "I know you're great at cooking, but we don't have time today. Let's finish up quickly and head out. No dawdling till evening."

Mu Nianci chuckled, "I still remember the first time I met Brother Chu; it was at a wonton stall."

Chu Yang nodded. "I also remember you weren't very friendly the first time you saw me."

Mu Nianci: "..."

Huang Rong burst into laughter at that. "Xiao Chu, you really hold grudges, don't you?"

Chu Yang sighed, "Can't help it, I'm naturally petty."

"I even remember the first time we met, you swiped my coin pouch, leaving me starving for days."

Huang Rong: "..."

Mu Nianci lowered her head, laughing softly.

After lunch, Chu Yang brought out Guo Jing's little red horse. Since Guo Jing hadn't taken it with him, Chu Yang figured he might as well put it to use for his trip back home.

The carriage Chu Yang bought from the market was already hitched to a full-grown horse. Now, with the addition of the little red horse, the team seemed adequate.

Standing by the carriage, Chu Yang suddenly asked, "So, which one of you has a driver's license?"
