Chapter 1414 Self-Created Martial Arts, Reaching the 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 he came to this world. In addition to studying martial arts, he is also collecting information about this world.

It is now the sixty-seventh year of the Qing Dynasty era. He has not collected any information about Ye Qingmei, but he knows that there was a great chaos in Kyoto more than ten years ago. He knows that time must be the time when Ye Qingmei was killed.

According to the time calculation, Fan Xian should be only eleven or twelve years old now, and there are still several years before he enters Kyoto.

Zhou Chen has not read much novel content, 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 not the same as in the novel. Although the time when Fan Xian entered Kyoto in the play is not specifically explained, it should be about eighteen years old, and he should be about twenty years old when he got married.

There is little description of age in the play, and there is no exact data, but it is probably about the same as his calculation.

Of course, age is actually not important. It is 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 the title, Zhou Chen has no intention of currying favor with others, and he is even unwilling to leave the Earl's Mansion.

Anyone who has watched "Joy of Life" knows that there are too many old silver coins in this drama. As the capital of Qing, Kyoto has complicated forces and is extremely dangerous.

The Inspection Institute is omnipresent, and other forces also have their own spies. It is not a good thing to be spotted by others.

He has lived for so many years and knows that when he has no power, he should hide when he should, and go out to play when he has strength.

Zhou Chen ordered the guards that no one should 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 vigilance, especially when practicing.

The first thing he practiced was naturally the Yangzhou Slow Heart Method that suited him best. This internal power method was pure and harmonious. It was the strongest of all the internal power methods he knew, and it was also the most suitable for him.

After practicing and improving in multiple worlds, he was ready to continue practicing it even in 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 existed. The internal power method he practiced in the past was still useful in this world, and in less than three days, he practiced the first ray of true qi.

But he also found a problem. Practicing internal power in this world is different from other worlds. In other martial arts worlds, internal power is born by guiding the body's potential.

In this world, when he practiced internal power, in addition to the power in his body, he actually felt a special energy slowly merging into his body, combining to form a special internal power.

According to the martial arts of this world, it should no longer be called internal power, but true qi, the energy affected by nuclear radiation.

The problem lies here. Although both internal force and true qi are stored in the body, they are actually different energies. After practicing true qi, the efficiency becomes lower when running according to the inner strength mental method of Yangzhou Man. There is a feeling of being out of tune, and the body is also uncomfortable.

Feeling that something is wrong, Zhou Chen temporarily stopped practicing. Different training methods, if forced to practice, it will be troublesome if something goes wrong.

So in the following time, he began to study the martial arts of the two worlds, preparing to find a balance and create the true qi mental method that suits him best.

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 true qi mental method of this world to practice.

But he has traveled through many martial arts worlds and practiced martial arts for more than a hundred years. He is definitely a martial arts master. The previous Yangzhou Man was also modified by himself, so he is still very confident in himself.

As the saying goes, if one method is mastered, all methods are mastered.

True qi is different from internal force, but after all, they are both energy cultivated through the body. It’s just that the process of refining is different, but if it is used, there is actually not much difference.

He is able to draw inferences from other cases, read a lot of books, and master all kinds of martial arts. He will definitely be able to create a Qigong method that suits him best.

However, everything is easier said than done.

This process lasted for a whole year.

During this period, Zhou Chen collected many Qigong secrets in this world, but they were basically basic methods. It was good to practice to the sixth or seventh level. It was almost impossible to practice to a higher level.

However, he collected these secrets not for his own practice, but to understand the martial arts methods in this world. He just used them as a reference to pave the way for himself to create a new Qigong method.

After a year, he finally created a Qigong secret book suitable for practice in this nuclear radiation world.

In order to create this method, he directly increased his spiritual attribute to 60 points. Relying on a stronger spirit, it took a year to find the right way and create the most suitable Qigong secret book for himself.

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 skills 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 Qing State was powerful now, 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 spring, they come with hope from thousands of miles away, but in the end they are no match for others to find connections and use the back door.

How pathetic.

Emperor Qing was undoubtedly an ambitious and talented emperor, but because he became a great master, the existence of the great master and the temple made him gradually go astray, misplaced his talents, and no longer focused on the people of the world. , knowingly knowing about the various problems in the court, but letting them go, while behind the scenes 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.

He is used to being aloof, how could he care about those at the bottom, let alone sympathize with them? That's all a joke.

To be honest, Qingguo's national power is stronger than that of Northern Qi, but for the people at the bottom, Qingguo is really not as good as 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 expression and a tone full of shock.

"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, however, was not at all proud of himself. His self-created skills, coupled with years of martial arts experience, had led him to the seventh level in a smooth process, which was not something to be proud of.

Even if he has not developed true energy 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 need to rely on people.

Just like the four great masters today, 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, the ninth level is the world's top combat power. There are countless warriors in the world, but there are only a few who reach 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 Zhenqi mind method. It not only has the concept of getting one's wishes fulfilled and Zhenqi satisfying one's wishes, 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 replied with a look of shame on his face: "Master, I'm sorry, it's because 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 succeed.

"Pick the right and loyal people to pass on the qi secrets I gave you. Your cultivation is too poor."

Sun Yi was even more ashamed. He had been practicing 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 level in half a year. Compared with the young master, these people are really 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 the main family. At that time, the old man was also a famous general on the battlefield, and his cultivation level had reached the eighth level. .

The Earl's Mansion of Anyuan was built by the old master on the battlefield, with swords and guns. When the old master left, everyone seemed to have lost their backbone.

But now it is different. Zhou Chen's talent has given them hope that the Earl's Mansion will take off again. At the age of sixteen, he has reached the seventh rank in half a year, and he will definitely reach the ninth rank in the future.

Even with the young master's talent, he may not be without hope for the Grand Master.

Every time he thought of this, Sun Yi was infinitely excited and couldn't wait to see that day.

"Young master, it's better not to make your martial arts training public."

Expectations are expectations, but Sun Yi knows better that now is not the time to get carried away. Talent is important, but before growing up, stability is the most important thing.

Zhou Chen understands better than him and waved his hand.

"Not many people know that I practice martial arts, and you are the only one who knows my current level. As long as you don't spread it, no one else will know."

Sun Yi immediately knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Chen: "Master, we swear to be loyal to you until death, and will never do anything to harm you."

Zhou Chen helped him up and said solemnly: "I know your loyalty, otherwise I would not tell you the truth. As long as we don't make it public, no one will pay attention to us in the current situation of our Earl's Mansion."

It has been more than a year since I came to this world, but even during the New Year, there are not many people who come to visit. Except for a few subordinates of the old Earl, that is, my aunt came once, but she only came once, and that meeting was not pleasant.

In short, the aunt came to ask for money because she didn't marry well at the beginning, and followed her husband to leave Kyoto to be an official. After finally returning to Beijing, she had a hard time, so she thought of asking for help from the Earl's Mansion.

Zhou Chen was not a stingy person, and the assets of the Earl's Mansion were in good condition. If the other party was just asking for help, he would have given it.

But that aunt bullied him because he was young, and asked for a manor outside Kyoto, plus 10,000 taels of silver.

At that time, Zhou Chen's butt was not even warm at that time, he stood up directly, asked the housekeeper to take 100 taels of silver, and then drove the people out of the Earl's Mansion.

At that time, the aunt Zhou Xingniang was still cursing at the door of the Earl's Mansion, ungrateful, cold and ruthless, etc., but Zhou Chen did not indulge her, and directly sent someone to put a knife on her neck, which scared Zhou Xingniang to flee.

Facing such a person, if it were the 21st century with developed information, it would be more cautious to deal with it, but this is a feudal society, don't talk about rights with the powerful.

The seventh-grade skills were not enough to satisfy Zhou Chen, so he continued to practice in the mansion, and would also teach the martial arts of Sun Yi and other guards when he had time, and he basically did not go out at ordinary times.

Although he rarely went out, he also heard a lot about the current situation in Kyoto.

The first thing to bear the brunt was naturally the dispute between the princes. Although Li Chengqian was the prince, his mother, the queen's family, had been slaughtered, so he had no help from his mother's relatives. Even if he was made the prince, his position was not stable.

The second prince, Li Chengze, was his biggest competitor. The second prince had a good background and was a smart and resourceful person. He was not old, but he had a lot of means.

The most important thing was that Emperor Qing deliberately supported him and challenged the prince, so the prince, in addition to occupying the prince's righteousness, did not have the upper hand in the fight.

In the court today, the prince and the second prince were fighting back and forth, and many officials joined their camps, while Emperor Qing was sitting on the Diaoyutai.

The prince and the second prince recruited soldiers and officials everywhere, and the declining Earl's Mansion like Zhou Chen was not even qualified to be won over.

Years, the precipitation of time, the flow of life, a look back, is a landscape; a turn, there is a story of time.

In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn of the second year of Qingli.

Zhou Chen stood under the shade of the tree, watching the dead leaves falling in the wind, his mood was as gloomy as the sky, very depressed.

It has been more than three years since he traveled to this world, and he has practiced the Ruyi Jin Heart Method he created for more than two years, and he has practiced it to the extreme a few months ago.

Now his level of true qi may not be as good as his internal strength level in the Lotus Tower world, but his combat power is not much different, because the nuclear radiation true qi in this world can strengthen physical fitness.

He has reached the realm of a warrior above the ninth grade, and his physique, which has not moved for a long time on the panel, has also been strengthened by ten points, and his strength and agility have also been improved. This is the strengthening of true qi.

It has been four months since he reached the combat power of the ninth grade, but in this world of four months, no matter how he condenses his true qi, he can no longer be improved. The Ruyi Jin Heart Method that has been practiced to the extreme cannot be perfected to the next step.

He knew that the next step was to become a Grandmaster, but no matter how he tried, he could not improve, as if his body and Qi had reached their limits.

This bottleneck was something he had never encountered since he started practicing martial arts.

Even in the Lotus Tower world, his martial arts became the best in the world, and Yangzhou Man was practiced to the extreme. If he continued to work hard, even if the improvement was very rare, he could still see some hope of improvement.

But now, after he reached the ninth rank, he tried many methods, but could not improve. He had not improved for more than two months. If he could not become a Grandmaster, this would probably be his limit.

In less than three years, he reached the ninth rank combat power. In this world, it was definitely a rare talent and understanding in the world. Anyone would be very satisfied.

But Zhou Chen was not satisfied. His goal was to become a Grandmaster. If he could not become a Grandmaster, even if he became a ninth-grade upper-level one, he would still feel that he had failed.

He slapped out with one palm, and the powerful true qi swept out, shaking away the fallen leaves within two feet around him.

"I can't go on."

It is now the second year of the Qingli period, and it has been less than two years since the beginning of the plot. There is not much time left for him. According to the current situation, even if he continues to practice hard for ten years, he may not be able to become a Grandmaster, so he must change his strategy.

He already had an idea in his mind, but he just hadn't made up his mind.

After such a long time, he has a very thorough understanding of true qi. True qi is nuclear radiation energy, which is transformed into controllable power after the optimization 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 promote his true qi practice. In the Qing Yu Nian, the place with the most nuclear radiation is.

Dadong Mountain!
