Chapter 1414 Self-created martial arts, reaching ninth level in three years
In the study, Zhou Chen lit the paper in his hand, put it in the brazier, and watched it burn to ashes.
It has been ten days since I came to this world. In addition to studying martial arts, I am also collecting information about this world.
It is now the sixty-seventh year of the Qing Dynasty. He has not collected any information about Ye Qingmei, but he knows that a great chaos occurred in Kyoto more than ten years ago. He knows that that time must be the time when Ye Qingmei was killed.
According to time estimates, Fan Xian should be only eleven or twelve years old now, and there are still several years left before entering Kyoto.
Zhou Chen has not read much in the novel, but he also knows that Fan Xian in the novel should have entered Kyoto when he was about sixteen years old. However, the age in the TV series is different from that in the novel. In the TV series, the time when Fan Xian entered Kyoto is
Although there is no specific explanation, it should be around eighteen years old, and he should be around twenty when he gets married.
There is very little description of age in the play, and there is no exact data, but it is probably similar to what he estimated.
Of course, age or anything else doesn't really matter. It's enough to know that the plot takes place in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli.
As a young man who has not yet inherited a title, Zhou Chen has no intention of building relationships with others, and is not even willing to leave the Earl's Mansion.
Anyone who has watched Qing Yu Nian knows that there are too many old silver coins in this drama. As the capital of the Qing Kingdom, the forces in Kyoto are complex and extremely dangerous.
The Inspection and Inspection Institute is all-pervasive, and other forces also have their own undercover agents. It is not a good thing to stand out in the limelight and be targeted by others.
He has lived for so many years, and he knows that when he has no strength, he has to be stubborn when he should, and he will go out to wander after he has the strength.
Zhou Chen ordered the guards that no one was allowed to enter the study without his order.
After everything was ready, he was ready to start practicing.
This world is full of nuclear radiation. Although he knows that people in this world are used to nuclear radiation, he still maintains a certain degree of vigilance, especially when practicing.
Naturally, the first thing he practiced was the Yangzhou slow mind method that suited him best. This internal skill method was extremely pure and harmonious. It was the strongest of all the internal skills skills he knew, and it was also the most suitable one for him.
Law.
After practicing and improving in many worlds, he was ready to continue practicing it even if he came to this strange world.
Three days later, Zhou Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing, frowned slightly.
Even in this world full of nuclear radiation, his excellent martial arts talent still exists, and the internal skills and mental techniques he practiced in the past are still useful in this world, and he developed the first ray of true energy in less than three days.
But he also discovered a problem. Practicing internal strength in this world is different from other worlds. In other martial arts worlds, internal strength is born by guiding the body's potential.
In this world, when he was practicing internal strength, in addition to the power in his body, he actually felt a special energy slowly integrating into his body, and the combination formed a special internal force.
According to the martial arts of this world, it should no longer be called internal force, but Zhenqi, the energy affected by nuclear radiation.
The problem arises here. Although internal force and true qi are both stored in the body, they can actually be said to be different energies. After practicing true qi, and then operating it according to Yangzhou Manu's inner strength method, the efficiency will become lower.
, there is a feeling of being out of place, and the body is also feeling unwell.
Feeling that there was a problem, Zhou Chen temporarily stopped practicing. Different cultivation methods, if you practice forcefully, you will be in trouble if there is a big problem.
So in the following time, he began to study the martial arts of the two worlds, preparing to find a balance and create the Zhenqi method that best suited him.
If he had never been exposed to martial arts before, he would never dare to do this. He would only find a way to get a piece of this world's true energy method to practice.
But he has traveled through many martial arts worlds and practiced martial arts for more than a hundred years. He can definitely be regarded as a master of martial arts. The previous Yangzhou Man was also modified by him, so he is still very confident in himself.
As the saying goes, if one method is universal, then all methods will be universal.
Zhenqi is different from internal force, but after all, they are all energy cultivated through the body. It's just that the process of refining is different, but when used, there is actually not much difference.
He is able to draw lessons from analogies, read a lot of books, and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. He will definitely be able to create a Zhenqi method that is most suitable for him.
However, everything is easy to say, but not so simple to do.
This process lasted for a full year.
During this period of time, Zhou Chen collected many Zhenqi secret books in this world, but they were basically basic mental techniques. It would be good to practice to the sixth or seventh level. It is almost impossible to practice to a higher level.
.
However, he collected these secret books not for his own cultivation, but to understand the martial arts mentality of this world. He only used them for reference to pave the way for his own creation of new Qi mentality.
After a year, I finally created a secret book of Qi suitable for practicing in this nuclear radiation world.
In order to create this technique, he directly increased his spiritual attributes to 60 points. With a stronger spirit, it took him a year to find the right path and create the most suitable infuriating secret book for him.
.
Although it was just the beginning, he was sure that the secret book he created would definitely surpass most of the zhenqi secret books in this world. It might not be as good as the few secret books that Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple, but in this world
There is absolutely no secret book that is more suitable for him than this self-created secret book.
With the appropriate exercises in hand, Zhou Chen began to ignore what was going on outside the window and concentrate on practicing.
A few days ago, he went out. It was spring every three years. The whole Kyoto was very lively. There were students everywhere. The inns and restaurants in Kyoto were also full. The streets were full of hawkers.
There are even more people during the Chinese New Year.
However, when he saw these students, he felt pity for them. Although the Qing Kingdom was now powerful, there were many problems in the court due to Emperor Qing's connivance.
Especially in the imperial examination, there are all kinds of fraud, and students from poor families have almost no chance to get ahead. Every time in the spring, they come with hope from thousands of miles away, but in the end they are unable to defeat others and use the back door to find connections.
It's really sad and deplorable.
Emperor Qing was undoubtedly an ambitious and talented emperor, but because he became a great master, a great master, and the existence of the temple, he gradually went astray, misplaced his talents, and no longer focused on the people of the world.
, knowing clearly about various problems in the court, but letting them go, and secretly there are all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.
From the perspective of Emperor Qing, he was not wrong. After all, he did everything for his own imperial power. He could not tolerate anyone overriding his imperial power, so he made various calculations just to get rid of the great master.
If he is used to being on top, how could he care about those at the bottom, let alone sympathize with them? That's all a joke.
To be honest, the Qing State's national power is stronger than that of the Northern Qi, but for the people at the bottom, the Qing State is really not as good as the Northern Qi.
After half a year of dedicated practice.
In the martial arts arena of the Earl's Mansion, Zhou Chen knocked back his opponent with one palm and then stood up with his palms closed.
Sun Yi, the guard commander, stabilized his figure and immediately saluted Zhou Chen with a respectful look on his face and a tone of shock in his tone.
"Young Master, this subordinate is no longer your match. Your martial arts has completely surpassed that of my subordinates, reaching the level of seventh grade."
"Seventh grade."
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, does not feel proud at all. His self-created skills, combined with his years of martial arts experience, have led him to the seventh level smoothly, which is not something to be proud of.
Even if he has not developed Qi before, his physical fitness alone is already comparable to that of a third or fourth grade warrior.
After reaching the seventh level, he also clearly felt that the improvement of Qi was much slower, but according to his deduction, it should not be a big problem to practice the self-created technique to the ninth level.
But if you want to become a great master, you can no longer rely on exercises. If you want to become a great master, you ultimately rely on people.
Just like today's four great masters, the three secret books given by Ye Qingmei are not only practiced by the three great masters. There are many people who practice, but in the past few decades, only those three people have become great masters.
, among them Emperor Qing almost lost his life before he became a great master.
Except for the Grand Master, those at the ninth level are the top combat power in the world. There are countless warriors in the world, but there are only a few who have reached the ninth level.
And the ninth-level people are not on the same level as the grand master. Killing the ninth-level master is not much different from killing a chicken.
In the ordinary martial arts world, even in the Chinese martial arts world, it is difficult for the top martial arts masters to fight against the army, but the great masters of this world can.
There is absolutely no problem for a Grand Master to defeat ten thousand people. One person can overwhelm an entire country. This is not something you just say. Even if an army of tens of thousands besieges the Grand Master, they may not be able to retain the Grand Master.
In the words of the plot, the Grand Master is no longer a human being.
"Isn't it true that none of you have mastered Ruyi Jin?"
Ruyi Jin is the name that Zhou Chen gave to his new Zhen Qi mind method. It not only has the concept of getting one's wishes fulfilled and Zhen Qi satisfying one's heart and soul, but also means missing Ren Ruyi.
Ruyi Jin is a combination of various mental methods from several martial arts worlds and this nuclear radiation martial arts world, forming a secret book of Qi that leads directly to the ninth level.
This is the Zhenqi method that is most suitable for him, but it is not necessarily suitable for other people, so he specially selected the seven most loyal people from the guards in the mansion to teach Ruyi Jin, just to try the effect.
Sun Yi looked ashamed and replied: "Master, I'm sorry, we are too stupid to get started with Ruyi Jin."
Zhou Chen sighed, slightly disappointed. As expected, not everyone can practice martial arts secrets, especially the self-created Ruyi Jin. The entry requirements are too high. Without enough talent, even entry is a luxury.
In fact, this was also part of his guess, and he didn't care if it didn't work out.
"Take those qi secrets I gave you and choose the right loyal people to pass them on. Your cultivation is too poor."
Sun Yi was even more ashamed. He had practiced martial arts for twenty years before reaching the sixth level. It was only recently that he made a breakthrough by sparring with the young master and reached the seventh level. The other guards were worse than him.
My young master has reached the seventh rank in half a year. Compared with the young master, these people are really very different.
"Yes, young master, I will definitely train them hard and prevent them from embarrassing the young master."
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.
