After the death of the old man, the reputation and status of their Anyuan Earl's Mansion in Kyoto plummeted. As a member of the manor, he was also worried about his family. At that time, the old man was also a famous general on the battlefield, and his cultivation level had reached the eighth level.
.
Earl Anyuan's Mansion was built with the help of the old uncle on the battlefield, with swords and guns. Once the old uncle left, everyone seemed to have no backbone.
But things are different now. Zhou Chen's talent gives them hope that the Earl's Mansion will take off again. At the age of sixteen, he can reach the seventh rank in half a year, and he will definitely reach the ninth rank in the future.
Even with the young master's talents, the grand master may not be without hope.
Every time he thinks of this, Sun Yi is filled with infinite excitement and can't wait to see that day.
"Master, it's best not to make any announcement about your martial arts training."
Expectations are expectations, but Sun Yi knows better that now is not the time to get carried away. Talent is important, but if you haven't grown up, stability is the most important thing.
Zhou Chen knew better than him and waved his hand.
"Not many people know about my martial arts training, and you are the only one who knows about my current cultivation. As long as you don't spread the word, no one else will know."
Sun Yi immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Chen: "Young Master, we swear to be loyal to you to the death and will never do anything to harm you."
Zhou Chen helped him up and said in a solemn tone: "I know your loyalty, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell you the truth. As long as we keep quiet, no one will pay attention to us given the current situation in our Earl's Mansion.
"
It has been more than a year since I came to this world, but even during the Chinese New Year, not many people came to visit me. Except for a few of the old count’s former subordinates, my aunt came once, but only once, and that time
The first meeting was not pleasant.
To put it simply, the aunt came to fight against the autumn wind. Because she did not get married well, she followed the man and left Kyoto to serve as an official. After finally returning to the capital, her life was difficult, so she wanted to go to the Earl's Mansion for help.
Zhou Chen is not a stingy person, and the assets of the Earl's Mansion are not bad. If the other party just asks for help normally, he will give it to him.
But it happened that his own aunt bullied him because he was young. The lion opened his mouth and asked for a village outside Kyoto, plus ten thousand taels of silver.
At that time, Zhou Chen's buttocks were not yet hot from sitting, so he stood up directly, asked the housekeeper to take a hundred taels of silver, and then drove him out of the Earl's Mansion.
At that time, her biological aunt Zhou Xingniang was still yelling at the door of the Earl's Mansion, saying she was ungrateful and callous, but Zhou Chen did not tolerate her and sent someone directly over to her with a knife on her neck. Zhou Xingniang was so frightened that she ran away.
Facing such people, if we were in the 21st century with advanced information, we would have to be more cautious when dealing with them, but this is a feudal society, so don't talk to the powerful about their rights.
Seventh-level skills were not enough to satisfy Zhou Chen. He continued to practice hard in the mansion. When he had time, he would teach Sun Yi and other guards the martial arts. He basically didn't go out.
Although he doesn't go out much, he has heard a lot about the current situation in Kyoto.
The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the fight between princes. Although Li Chengqian is the prince, his mother's queen family has been slaughtered, so he does not have the help of his mother's relatives. Even if he is established as the prince, his position is not stable.
The second prince Li Chengze is his biggest competitor. The second prince has a good background and is also a smart and witty person. He is not too old, but he is quite capable.
The most important thing is that Emperor Qing deliberately supported him and fought with the prince in the ring, so the prince not only occupied the prince's righteousness, but he did not have the upper hand in the fight.
Nowadays, in the court hall, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are seen going back and forth against each other. Many officials have joined their camp, while Emperor Qing is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The crown prince and the second prince were recruiting troops and officials everywhere. The declining Earl's Mansion like Zhou Chen and others were not even qualified to be recruited.
Years are the accumulation of time, and life is passing by. When you look back, you will see a scenery; when you turn around, there will be a story of time.
In the blink of an eye, the autumn of the second year of Qingli came.
Zhou Chen stood under the shade of the tree, looking at the dead leaves falling in the wind. His mood was like the gloomy weather in the sky, very depressing.
It has been more than three years since I traveled to this world, and I have been practicing the self-created Ruyi Jinxin method for more than two years. I have practiced it to the extreme a few months ago.
His current level of Qi may not be as good as his level of internal strength in the Lotus Tower world, but his combat power is not much different, because the nuclear radiation Qi in this world can strengthen his physical fitness.
He has reached the realm of a ninth-grade warrior. His physique, which has been dormant for a long time, has also been strengthened by ten points. His strength and agility have also been improved. This is due to the strengthening of true energy.
It has been four months since he reached the ninth level of combat power, but in these four months, no matter how he condensed his true energy, he could not improve it any more, and even if he had practiced the Ruyi Jinxin method to the extreme, he could no longer perfect it.
Next step.
He knew that the next step would be the Grand Master, but no matter how he deduced, he could never make progress, as if his body and Qi had reached their limits.
This kind of bottleneck has never been encountered before since he started practicing martial arts.
Even in the world of Lotus Tower, his martial arts became the best in the world, and Yangzhou Man had practiced to the extreme. But if he continued to hone his skills, even if his improvement was very rare, there was still hope for some progress.
But now, after he reaches the ninth level, he has tried many methods but cannot improve. He has not been diligent for more than two months. If he cannot become a grand master, this is probably his limit.
In less than three years, he has reached the ninth level of combat power. In this world, that is definitely a rare talent and understanding in the world. If it were anyone else, he would be very satisfied.
But Zhou Chen is not satisfied. His goal is to become a Grandmaster. If he cannot become a Grandmaster, even if he reaches the ninth rank, he will feel that he has failed.
With one palm strike, powerful zhenqi swept out, knocking away the fallen leaves within two feet of the surrounding area.
"This can't go on any longer."
It is now the second year of Qingli, less than two years since the plot started, and there is not much time left for him. According to the current situation, even if he continues to practice with concentration for ten years, he may not be able to become a great master, so he must change his strategy
.
He already has an idea in his mind, but he has never made up his mind.
After such a long time, he has a very thorough understanding of Zhenqi. Zhenqi is nuclear radiation energy. It is a power that can be controlled after optimization and transformation of the body. It is similar to internal force, but different.
So he wanted to try to go to a place with stronger nuclear radiation energy, which might be able to promote his Qi cultivation. In Qingyu years, this was the place with the most nuclear radiation.
Dadongshan!
