Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 93: Chu Family’s Surprise

"I do know how to read ancient languages." Chu Hao replied immediately.

Everyone was shocked, even Chu Miao who had made that request. She had just been jesting. Making fun of her brother.

She didn’t expect him to say that he knew how to read ancient languages.

"When did you learn how to read the ancient language?" Their mother asked in surprise. frёeωebɳovel.com

She knew her son well. He would not really take up a task if it didn’t have a direct benefit to him. That is one of the biggest reasons he quit the military after only serving for two years.

He only joined the military in the first place because it was a family tradition, and he was just fulfilling it. Once he felt that he had left a military record, he immediately applied for retirement and went to make money in business with his father.

So, she was very surprised that her brother would take the time to learn such a language.

"When I was in the University, there was a history professor obsessed with preserving ancient culture. He always said that forgetting where we came from is not humanity making progress, but regressing. Because in the end, our descendants won’t even know who they are anymore.

So, he did things like teaching ancient languages as a way of preserving our ancient culture. Those who chose it as an elective class and learned it to a level he deemed passable, which included being able to read ancient texts and speak, even if not fluently, would get extra credits.

Those credits contributed to my early graduation." Chu Hao explained why and how he learned the ancient language.

His mother almost had the words, ’I knew it’d written on her face.

"That’s a good thing then. At least now you can help Bunny look for the body refinement techniques she mentioned and she won’t have to work alone." His father said with some approval.

"Yes, now get up and go help your sister. We should enter seclusion as soon as possible." Urged their grandfather and the two siblings got up and headed to the library.

Once inside, Chu Miao first took the body tempering technique she had used before, as she knew where she had placed it, and showed it to her brother.

Once she made sure that he could really read the language used to write the texts, she explained what they were looking for.

"The paper used to write these texts is really different. It’s so thick and rough. And even though it must have yellowed because of time, isn’t it a little too yellow?" Chu Hao commented when he saw and touched the papers attached together by some kind of unbreakable string and a type of beast skin used as a cover.

It looked very different from the books he was used to.

"Of course it’s different. Even in the Wuxin dynasty, the paper used was almost the same even though it was hundreds or even thousands of years after this space ring was created by our ancestors.

And these texts were placed here by our ancestors. Only a few of them were part of what I collected on my escapades when I went training or went to war." Chu Miao explained.

"So, you are saying the yellow color is the natural color of these papers?" Chu Hao was surprised by this. He had thought they were too old and aged.

"This space keeps things the way they were put in here no matter how long has passed, so, of course, it’s their natural color.

In ancient times, there were no fancy machines to make paper from whole trees. Most of the papers were made from tree bark and treated using different types of herb mixtures in different stages before they were dried and separated.

The process of making one batch of paper would take at least two weeks, which was why in the beginning, only the royal family and families of ministers could use paper to write.

Later, as more people learned how to make paper, it became more popular and more people from rich and noble families also started using them.

Ordinary people still found it difficult to afford paper, but they could buy the ones whose quality didn’t qualify for use by the royal family, ministers, and noblemen.

So, don’t look down on this paper, my ancestors used the finest quality used by the royal family to write what we are learning today." Chu Miao added.

"Damn, my professor would kill to hear what you just said and see these books. I bet he would never want to leave." Chu Hao said in an exaggerated tone.

"Save the theatrics, let’s get to work." Chu Miao urged her brother with a laugh and went on to look for the cultivation techniques they needed.

It took the siblings two hours of combing through the texts to find body cultivation techniques suitable for the general and the butler, and another for mother Chu and her husband. After all, the two groups of people had different needs.

"Okay, we found them. I’ll teach you how to use spiritual energy to temper your body and don’t take this lightly. A well-tempered body, when it reaches the foundation establishment level, makes it easier to withstand the heavenly tribulation, and once you have successfully achieved foundation establishment, you can even stop a bullet with your skin.

So, take body tempering seriously." Chu Miao explained the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait...stop a bullet with my own body? Without a bulletproof vest?" Chu Hao asked with a surprised expression on his face.

Even the other members of the family were the same.

"Yes, without spiritual power or superpower energy embedded into a weapon, other normal weapons won’t be able to hurt you. So, you’d better work harder to improve your cultivation and also temper your body." She encouraged them.

She was not making this up. If in her previous life, some mechanizations were not at work to force her soul to transmigrate into the future, how could a simple spear kill her? Even with spiritual power covering it, she would have found a way to avoid it or block it.
