Time passed in the blink of an eye, half a month later, and Chen Ying's cultivation in "Tiger Roaring Strength" successfully entered the realm of minor success.
His breakthrough was an honest one, and he did not hide it from the martial arts master Hong Huyuan.
It can be clearly seen that Hong Huyuan's expression at that time was very complicated. Chen Ying, who had mastered "Tiger Roaring Strength", had officially surpassed him.
No matter how envious he was, he couldn't help it, and he knew that Chen Ying's rapid progress was due to chance. He got the guidance of Zhao Ranruo, a master of the direct lineage of the Zhao family, in the academy, otherwise his cultivation progress would have been delayed for at least half a year.
"Lao San's "Tiger Roaring Power" has been completed!"
When the Duchess heard the news, she looked calm, as if she didn't care at all.
Indeed, there is no need to worry about it. Even if Chen Ying's "Tiger Roar Jin" is a small success, it is just hovering on the edge of Ming Jin.
Besides, the internal martial arts training method cannot catch the Duchess's eye at all.
The truly high-end cultivation path is still the inner strength of the past. The current way of cultivating Zhenqi has some secrets that only the duchess knows, not even the confidant and steward wife around her.
"It seems that Zhao Ranruo from the Zhao family is quite capable!"
The Duchess quickly changed her target and said in a deep voice: "Have you figured out what level Zhao Ranruo's cultivation level has reached?"
"Madam, according to the estimates of some martial arts masters in Beidicheng, Zhao Ranruo's cultivation level is at least a Qi master who is close to mastering the Twelve Classics!"
The confidant's daughter-in-law immediately replied: "As for what level they have reached, the martial arts masters in Beidi City are basically practicing internal martial arts, so it is inevitable to make guesses!"
"No, we have to find a way to figure out this guy's cultivation level!"
The Duchess said categorically: "If this guy has opened up all the twelve main meridians, and has even begun to practice the eight extraordinary meridians, he can no longer be allowed to stay in the academy to teach the fourth child!"
The steward's daughter-in-law was frightened and hesitated: "Madam, do you want to ask the master guard in the house to come forward..."
But once the master guards of the Duke's Palace come forward, it will be difficult to hide the matter, and Aunt Zhao is not a good person.
"Not urgent!"
The expression on the Duchess's face softened and she said with a smile: "Wu'er will return home in a month, and then ask him to come forward and compete with Zhao Ranruo!"
Obviously, she was quite confident in her second son Chen Wu's Qi cultivation. Besides, Zhenbei Gongfu's family-inherited magical power was much better than the Zhao family's "Thunder-Thunder Heart Technique".
"The second young master is coming back!"
The steward's wife was surprised and said: "If the second young master takes action, he will definitely be able to capture him. Zhao Ranruo will definitely be no match for him!"
The Duchess was smiling all over her face. Although she didn't nod in approval, her confident look said it all.
…
"Third brother, my uncle said that the third brother's "Tiger Roaring Power" is already a small success, and then it is slowly improved through time, and he doesn't have much to give advice!"
On the way back from the academy that day, little fat man Chen Xiong felt a little embarrassed, but he still said loudly through the carriage.
"I see!"
Chen Ying's head emerged from the carriage, her expression calm and not angry at all.
Isn’t it just that you don’t plan to give advice in the future?
Today, Zhao Ranruo, a handsome middle-aged man, had a somewhat perfunctory attitude when giving instructions, and he naturally knew it.
It just so happened that he had already had an idea for the follow-up practice of "Tiger Roaring Strength", and it would not hinder his continued 'advance' at all.
"Third brother, aren't you angry?"
The little fat man still had some conscience. After enduring it for a while, he finally couldn't hold it in and finally asked.
"What are you angry about?"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "That's your uncle. He can guide me for a period of time and make my "Tiger Roar" a success. It's already a great honor!"
Having said this, he smiled and said: "Also, you can also tell your uncle that I already have a good way to practice "Tiger Roaring Power"!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Returning to the Duke's Mansion, while changing clothes and washing up in her courtyard, Chen Ying asked directly: "Mom Li, I heard that there are several tigers raised in the garden of the mansion?"
"Yes, it was sent by the general stationed at the border fortress. I heard that the head is very ferocious, and it will look majestic in the garden!"
Li Ma said with a smile: "Don't you hear the faint roar of tigers from time to time, young master? I heard that the duchess once wanted to kill her because she was too noisy, but she was stopped by the father-in-law!"
"Mom Li, can I go to the garden and watch those tigers after I return home from school?"
Chen Ying looked calm and said directly: "This is very important to me!"
"Then you have to report it to Madam and get Madam's permission!"
Li's mother didn't think too much, and didn't ask Chen Ying what important matters she had. She said, "I can ask for help. It shouldn't be a big problem!"
After all, she is already an old person in the Duke's Palace, and there are still some handkerchiefs handed over in the main courtyard. She can't do big things, but it is not a problem to help with some drumming.
As expected, things went smoothly. Ma Li found the duchess's close confidant's daughter-in-law. After just a brief mention, she was soon in the way of the duchess.
At the dinner in the main courtyard that night, when the Duchess accidentally revealed that Chen Wu, the second-eldest legitimate son in the palace, would be coming back soon, it immediately caused a commotion.
Although the three aunts all had "joyful" faces and congratulated the duchess, no one could guess what they were thinking.
Chen Ying sat in the corner, looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel funny...
He had naturally met Chen Wu, his second brother, but it was all a long time ago.
At that time, he had not yet traveled through the world of Red Mansions, and his martial arts skills could only be described as scum, and he could not tell the details of Chen Wu's strength at all.
Sometimes when I think about it, I can figure out a little bit of clues, but I don't know how far Chen Wu's cultivation has reached after not seeing each other for several years.
This has little to do with him...
Chen Wu was the natural heir to Duke Zhenbei in the army, and he was also a very outstanding heir, having reached the level of deputy general before he reached adulthood.
Although the factor of being the legitimate second son of Zhenbei Gong is indispensable, his own abilities are definitely not too bad.
The most important task of the Thirty Northern Army under the control of Zhenbeigong is to defend against the barbarians outside the Great Wall. It can be said that the Northern Army is a pure frontier army. If you want to stand out in the frontier army, in addition to your background, you must also have strong abilities.
Otherwise, if you can't even suppress the arrogant and powerful generals under your command, what future can you have?
…
I don’t know what happened, but when brothers Chen Ying and Chen Xiong arrived at the academy the next day, the little fat boy naturally skipped class.
Of course, it can't be said that he really skipped classes. Zhao Ranruo took a month's leave in one go for the little fat man, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Chen Ying guessed that the news that his second brother Chen Wu was about to return home put a lot of pressure on Aunt Zhao and Zhao Ranruo.
This has little to do with him. Even if he wants to participate, he can't interfere...
On the other side, under the guidance of his uncle Zhao Ranruo, the little fat boy Chen Xiong worked hard to understand the so-called 'qi sense', hoping to complete the basics of zhenqi cultivation in the shortest possible time.
Of course, Zhao Ranruo did not push too hard. He still knew the principle of combining looseness and tightness, and he did not forget to tell some legendary stories during his breaks to deepen the little fat man's determination and interest in practicing Qi.
From beginning to end, he never mentioned a word about Chen Ying who was sitting in the classroom.
But the little fat man mentioned it during the break...
"Oh, now that he has found a way to make rapid progress, my uncle will wait and see!"
Zhao Ranruo was very dissatisfied. Chen Ying, the third young master of Zhenbeigong Mansion, only had a false reputation.
It's not that he has no talent, but that he doesn't have the help of his biological mother and can only live under the hands of the duke's mistress. Just look at the martial arts he practices.
The martial arts practiced by the dignified third young master of the Duke's Palace are actually the middle-level martial arts practiced by the guards in the palace. Telling the truth will make those who know the inside story laugh out loud.
Of course Chen Ying didn't know that he was despised by Zhao Ranruo...
Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. Could he still be able to control other people's thoughts?
His situation was so embarrassing. If he didn't find a romantic connection, he would be like that for the rest of his life. It would be very difficult to get ahead.
It's a pity that no one in this world knows that under Chen Ying's ordinary appearance, he is an out-and-out cheat!
When school was over, he took the bus back to his house with the little fat man. After meeting with Ma Li who was waiting outside the second door, he ran to the garden against the wall before it was completely dark.
The so-called garden is a huge sinkhole, probably covering several square kilometers.
There are lush flowers, plants and trees here, as well as rockeries and flowing water, which is almost like a small ecological park.
There are many birds and animals in the garden. There are herbivores but also carnivores. Those colorful tigers are the best among them.
I don’t know what the Duke’s father was thinking, but he actually created such a place in the Duke’s Mansion, just like a small mountain natural area, where the cruel jungle laws of Chiluoluo are constantly being interpreted.
The purpose of Chen Ying's arrival here was very simple, just to observe the walking, sitting, and lying patterns of the tigers in the garden, as well as the patterns of breathing and muscle movement.
"Tiger Roaring Strength", in his opinion, is a way to imitate the breathing of a tiger and the vibration pattern of muscles, bones and organs, in order to strengthen the body and cultivate dark strength at the same time.
Of course, with Chen Ying's level, there is no need for such trouble.
But he didn't want to attract attention, so he had to find a reasonable reason to give a reasonable explanation for his subsequent rapid improvement in cultivation.
In the next month, every time he returned home, he would first come to the garden to observe every move of the tiger, and his "Tiger Roar Power" cultivation also began to accelerate. In the past two days, it can be described as a rapid pace.
Such rapid progress naturally attracted the attention of martial arts master Hong Huyuan, and then the Duchess also knew about it.
But at this time, the Duchess is immersed in the joy of her second son Chen Wu returning home tomorrow, and is in no mood to pay attention to this. Besides, how strong can she be even if she makes rapid progress...
