Although I had the opportunity to practice martial arts after moving out, the previous years in Chen Guogong's mansion were indeed delayed, and thus a few years were wasted.

But fortunately, compared to the previous body, his physical qualifications for this projection are quite good, and because he awakened his memory early, he was able to embark on the path of spiritual practice early without being completely delayed.

In fact, speaking seriously, Chen An's previous physical qualifications should not be too bad. They cannot be compared with geniuses like Bai Qingbai and Chang Ming, but they are at least above average.

It's just that it was too late to start martial arts, and my qualifications were downgraded, so I was delayed, and I could only be promoted by cheating.

But throughout his life, his talent was quite good, and he did not waste time when he was most suitable for practicing martial arts. In addition, he had previous memories and insights to assist him.

Well, to a certain extent, the buff stack is full again.

Because of these conditions, Chen An was able to grow rapidly without sufficient supplies of materials.

In just six or seven years, he regained his former inner strength.

Then, he encountered another serious problem.

The exercises are not enough anymore.

What he is practicing now is the Yin Body Kung Fu. He only achieved the fifth level when he was in the Bai family. Now he has practiced it to the top. It is not impossible to continue practicing, but it is a waste of time.

When there are difficulties, it is natural to find ways to solve them.

Chen An deliberately took advantage of the Fourth Princess for this reason.

In this world, countries are juxtaposed, disputes abound, and there are many martial arts families in various places.

For example, Chen Guogong's mansion, where Chen An was born, is one of them.

But if we talk about the largest aristocratic family, it is naturally the royal family.

The Dahua Sutra is passed down by the Dahua royal family, and it is said that it was left behind by the Taizu of Dahua.

Taizu Taizu of Dahua was a fierce man who defeated the entire Dahua Dynasty in this world with one punch and one kick. It is said that he killed more than one Xiantian on the way to his career.

For such a ruthless man, one can imagine the quality of the inheritance he left behind, at least innate martial arts.

Of course, the Dahua Sutra of the Dahua Royal Family is exclusive to the Dahua Royal Family. It is conceivable that it will be difficult to obtain. Chen An dare not think about it for the time being.

But the Dahua royal family definitely has more than one innate martial arts such as Dahua Jing.

There are certainly others.

Even if its grade is one level lower than Dahua Sutra, it is enough for Chen An.

Now, the most important step has been taken, it just depends on whether there are other opportunities in the future.

The next day, when it was just dawn, Chen An got up and left, heading towards the Imperial College.

He had just become the princess's guest, but he still had some unfinished business in the Imperial College.

Walking into a hall, there was a sound of reading.

When I walked in, I saw an old man standing there.

The old man has a skinny figure, does not look tall, and does not look heroic, just ordinary. Everything looks ordinary.

He stood there reading aloud from the saint's scriptures, looking very engaged.

Seeing this, Chen An didn't bother him, he just stood aside and waited silently.

After a while, the old man stopped, looked at Chen An aside, and said with a smile: "Here?"

"coming."

Chen An smiled and said, "Master Dong is very interested."

"I have nothing to do, just think about it."

Dong Heng waved his hand, and then looked carefully at Chen An in front of him.

In his sight, Chen An was standing in the corner with a smile on his face and no hint of impatience in his body.

He couldn't help but nodded, looking quite satisfied: "Not bad."

"I have been lurking for several years and finally found an opportunity. I am still able to remain so calm. It seems that I have some true meaning of keeping quiet."

Dong Heng praised: "Keeping this character will be of great benefit to you whether you choose martial arts or other paths."

"maybe."

Chen An nodded calmly and said with a smile.

Dong Heng was the teacher Chen An met outside, and he was also a well-known sage.

He has known Chen An since he was very young, and he is also the person who appreciates him the most.

Without his help, Chen An would not have been able to enter the Imperial Academy and completely get rid of those relatives in his family who were not successful enough and were more than enough to hold them back.

"No matter what, the kindness of Teacher Dong's cultivation will be remembered by the students."

Chen An nodded respectfully and said, "If necessary in the future, students will do their best."

"Don't worry, if there is really a need later, I will definitely not forget you as a student."

Dong Heng said with a smile, then spoke again and changed the subject: "If you are interested in martial arts, the fourth princess is a good choice, but it can only be used as a springboard and cannot always be relied upon."

Chen An nodded and agreed.

The fourth princess Cheng Yi is excellent to use as a springboard, because she has a noble status and is more popular with the emperor.

By staying with the fourth princess, Chen An can take the opportunity to make friends with many princes and nobles, and even meet the emperor.

Just having access to these people means there are more opportunities.

But the role of the fourth princess is only that.

Because in the final analysis, she is still just a vase.

No matter how much the Emperor dotes on her, he cannot reward her with innate martial arts.

A vase, what do you need Xiantian Martial Arts for?

Besides, even if she had it herself, she might not dare to reward Chen An with it.

If Chen An wants to achieve his goal, he still has to rely on other people.

"How is Your Highness Cheng Hua?"

Standing there, Chen An suddenly asked.

"His Royal Highness is intelligent but has a bad temper. He is your Majesty's eldest son. He is highly valued by your Majesty and has many followers around him..."

Dong Heng spoke softly and expressed his opinion.

Chen An understood.

What this means is that His Highness is the eldest son of Emperor Dahua. He has a noble status and is the most valued. Although he does not have the title of prince, he has the actual status of prince and has many followers around him.

If Chen An takes refuge, it may be difficult for him to stand out among his followers, let alone be taken seriously and be rewarded with skills.

"How is the Second Highness Cheng Ming?"

Chen An then asked again.

"His Second Highness is a gentle and humble person. He is polite and virtuous. He is supported by your grandfather Chen Guogong and others, and he also has many followers..."

Dong Heng glanced at Chen An: "However, many of these followers are generals and princes, and many of them have a strong aura. They have long been in the eyes of His Majesty..."

"How is His Majesty Cheng Zheng doing?"

"His Royal Highness has always kept a low profile and never competed with outsiders. However, he is mean-spirited and leaves no room for anything, and is deeply resented by others..."

Upon hearing this, Chen An stopped and did not continue to ask any more questions.

Emperor Dahua had many heirs, but among them, only these three princes were truly capable of competing for the throne.

The remaining princes are either too young, have congenital deficiencies, or have weak maternal clans, and are simply unable to participate in this kind of competition.

And even these three princes have their own strengths and weaknesses.

The specific choice depends on Chen An's own decision.

Although it is difficult for those with many followers to get ahead, if you just want to obtain a martial arts inheritance, it may not be impossible.

Although the most difficult situation is difficult, if you can provide help in times of need and help at this moment, you may also get good rewards.

Various thoughts flashed through Chen An's mind.

But generally speaking, he is not entangled, and can even be said to be quite calm.

If they were anyone else, they would probably be extremely entangled when faced with this choice, because it not only affects their future, but also their lives and the nine clans in their family.

But Chen An doesn't care.

His body is just a projection, and even if he dies, he will just return to his true form and will have no impact.

As for the Nine Tribes?

Please, as for the group of monsters and ghosts behind him, does it have anything to do with whether he is dead or not?

His biological father ignored him, his biological mother had been killed long ago, and the remaining group of people were relatives in name, but in reality they were enemies.

In this case, it naturally doesn't matter.
