The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 34

Jiang Chen still felt a sense of loyalty and friendship towards the two companions he had left behind before. In addition, the two have in common: their hearts are trustworthy and they are loyal people.    

It was perfectly suited to Jiang Chen's taste. This was also the fundamental difference between the fat Xuan and Hubing Yue versus Yang Zong.    

Jiang Chen could see that Xuan's fat potential was average, and there wasn't the necessary tenacity and ferocity in him that practitioners needed.    

It might be possible in the short term, but it was impossible for the fat Xuan to maintain the 'until my death stops' mindset on the path of martial dao.    

Hubing Yue, on the other hand, hid the heart of the martial dao with strong fortitude behind his honest appearance.    

Jiang Chen knew what to expect from this round of appraisals.    

He raised his glass, “The two of you have long treated me, Jiang Chen, as your brother. Therefore, as your brother, I will say these words today, if you believe me. Yes, no matter whether your life goal is to seek wealth and riches, or pursue martial arts — I can help you achieve it.    

However, the warning is that you remain my brother – brother who has not changed for life.”    

Jiang Chen was very serious when saying these words. The two were really her brothers at the moment, but times could change a lot. All he needs is an everlasting and unchanging loyalty.    

“Brother Chen, I, the fat Xuan, just want to say one thing. The fat in my body is yours. Whenever you get tired of tasting delights from land and sea and want to try human flesh, then come carve from my body. If I can't trust you, then I can't trust anyone!” Fatty Xuan's brows did not even wrinkle.    

“Brother Chen, I am not the best in words but I always feel that you are a good brother, a worthy brother for me to follow.” Hubing Yue also revealed herself.    

"alright. We're brothers. For life." Jiang Chen nodded. “Let's stop here today. Remember, come here again after the Hidden Dragon Trials. I'll give you a little surprise.”    

Jiang Chen also needed to consider what to do against these two people, and how to help them in a way that was not excessive yet in a way that was very effective for them.    

Overdoing it will definitely attract the attention of others and cause unnecessary problems.    

Being too stingy may result in less than ideal effectiveness. So the help he gives is the same as not giving at all.    

It needs to be personally designed and it takes time to reflect on it.    

It is said that clapping with one hand is difficult. In any world, one was always powerless towards some things when relying solely on his strength. Sooner or later, it is very important to develop another.    

Jiang Chen did not stay silent after sending his two best friends over. He directly walked into the secret training room and closed the door for training.    

The six hours he spent in the sword aura room during the day had helped him understand and obtain many things. When he faced the aura of a 32 fold sword inside the room, the five meridians of true qi and five meridians in his body had been repeatedly forged, impacted, bathed, and attacked until they metamorphosed…    

Jiang Chen had unwittingly risen to six meridians of true qi during that battle.    

This was also his greatest advantage in that battle.    

“I can feel that my combat strength has increased by at least two or threefold after entering six meridians true qi.” Jiang Chen felt a change in his body. He could feel that his life signs had been strengthened at some level, and had changed a lot from his state when he first entered – as if he had been reborn.    

“The battle with Yan Yiming today also indirectly illustrates some of my current problems. Even though I won, it was a win earned through trickery.” Jiang Chen analyzed the battle and pondered its advantages and disadvantages.    

First, Jiang Chen was disadvantaged in terms of martial arts techniques. Jiang Chen had previously been extremely careless when practicing the family dao martial technique. The only one he really strives to train is an expert in everything, “Qi Amethyst East”, and this is because the Hidden Dragon Trials will test him. If this wasn't the case, he probably wouldn't have practiced it either.    

To think that he would still use the escort martial arts technique “Qi Amethyst East” to fight the enemy since coming to this world, he said, one had to admit that Jiang Chen had to become a new generation in the field of martial arts techniques. .    

Jiang Chen familiarized himself with the Jiang family's hereditary martial dao methods. Its name is “Great Wave Method” and is a method that combines qi training and martial arts techniques.    

“The Great Wave Method” is an intermediate level martial dao method and can be practiced up to nine meridians true qi. This is also the upper limit.    

The accompanying martial arts techniques are “Wave Breaker” and “Laut” God Box.    

“This Great Wave Method” is considered one of the advantages of the Jiang family's martial dao method.    

“Indeed poorer families.” Jiang Chen smiled wryly. “The rank of wudao of this world seems to be divided into five great levels namely 'general', 'spirit', 'saint', 'earth' and 'heaven'. These five great degrees are then divided into small degrees consisting of 'inferior', 'middle', 'top', and 'highest' degrees'. In short, a general level martial dao method, middle rank was second grade from below. And a value like this is the flagship method of the family clan.”    

Jiang Chen had to regret that the starting point of his reincarnation was indeed rather low.    

Of course, of all the existing methods, as long as a method could be ranked, it was still something.    

There were countless practitioners who practiced ordinary methods that could not even be ranked.    

The so-called general degree method was actually a classic martial dao that was extremely valuable in a country like the Eastern Kingdom.    

What caused Jiang Chen not to know whether he should laugh or cry was that he had previously practiced this “Great Wave Method” since he was a child, yet it had just reached the realm of small achievements.    

“How lazy is this person to practice the precious methods of the family clan to reach this level of achievement? Is his mind really not fixed on training at all?”    

In terms of engineering training, a small achievement was only the first step. Skillful, perfect, flawless, and incredible perfection followed after, and there were even legendary realms.    

“Upper limit “Great Wave Method” only trains the actual nine qi meridians. No wonder dad's training came to a halt in the nine meridians of true qi. It seems like the restriction in methods is indeed enough for a genius to become a mediocre talent in this world.”    

A duke's precious clan method only reached nine meridians of true qi at the highest level. Further means reaching the limit. It must be said, this is the grief of a practitioner.    

“Don't ask how high the sky is, I myself am riding the waves? Wait a minute..” Jiang Chen suddenly felt deja vu when he read the first line in “Great Wave Method”. “Could I have seen this “Great Wave Method” before somewhere?”    

But that can't happen. Logically speaking, it is impossible for an inferior method like “Great Wave Method” to enter the Tianlang Library. It was the library of the Celestial Emperor, how could recording such a low-level method?    

But, Jiang Chen really had an impression towards those two sentences.    

He exerted great effort in tracing his memories and suddenly, a method of “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” appeared in his mind.    

I manifested one dream through nine lives and dried up the vast ocean with one laugh. Don't ask me how high the sky is, I ride the waves myself.    

Suddenly, many memories of the “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Seas” gushed from Jiang Chen's memories within a short period of time.    

Although this “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is also not enough to attract the attention of prominent people, it is also not enough to attract the attention of leading people, Jiang Chen recalled this method because he was touched by the story behind the practitioner who had created this method when he read it carefully.    

This person had reincarnated nine times just to catch a glimpse of the girl in his dream. But he had waited until the oceans dried up and the rocks decayed, and this eventually proved unattainable. He quickly realized the truth, but realized that he had missed the law of heaven. Therefore he lamented that “do not ask how high the sky, I myself drive his waves”.    

Although “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is also not enough to be referred to as the method of the law of heaven, but this method is much more powerful than “Great Wave Method”.    

Mystery hidden in it at least a hundred times more than “Great Wave Method”.    

And, “This Large Wave Method” is definitely a branch of “Secret Nine Laughing Oceans”. But it had turned into an extremely mediocre method by the time the method was passed on to the Jiang family clan.    

The same origin!    

“Indeed, destiny naturally comes into play somewhere. Since this “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” is destined for me, then I will practice it.”    

Jiang Chen had previously searched for methods with great difficulty, yet had never found a suitable method for this body.    

And now, the Jiang family's treasured method had led to “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans”, what would it be if not destiny?    

Jiang Chen's heart was much calmer after he decided on a method.    

There are many martial arts techniques that go along with it in “The Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans”, however Jiang Chen still decided to focus on two techniques “Wave Breaker” and “Laut” God Box that have the same origin for now.    

But these two wudao techniques naturally have different names, respectively “Vast Ocean Current Splitter” and “Divine Aeons Fist”.    

Martial dao methods, martial arts techniques, were all chosen.    

Jiang Chen was in a very good mood. After all, “Amethyst Eastern Qi” is someone else's method. There was always a sense of lack of possession when he practiced it.    

Jiang Chen knew that he had made the right choice when he began to familiarize himself with this method. As this method began to circulate in his body, the acupoints and meridians within his body almost started to resonate together.    

Each acupoint emitted a light and rich rhythmic pulse, and its meridians trembled slightly as it opened and closed.    

“Resonance meridian? Resonance acupuncture points? This is the highest level of support that a body will show against a method!” Jiang Chen was very pleased.    

“Indeed true, the family method is the best.” Jiang Chen thought carefully and understood. Many families valued the heritage of bloodlines in terms of martial training, and many clans emphasized not sharing methods with outsiders. In fact, this is a kind of tradition, and a kind of agreement between lineage and method.    

Only the fit is the best.    

Jiang Chen thought about this and thus understood this principle.    

“Maybe my mind is filled with all the methods under the heavens, but it is not suitable for my current stage. In the end, I am currently just an ordinary practitioner with six meridians true qi. My mindset should emphasize on this life training and not previous life experiences.”    

His previous life experience could bring all sorts of luck and pave the way for him, even letting him take shortcuts.    

But training still has to rely on this body of life to overcome obstacles and start the challenge to reach the top, step by step. It is not replaced by any experience.    

He started circulating his original qi, circulating the true qi of the huge waves within his body. Jiang Chen's meridians became like little dragons playing around in the waves of the vast ocean, as they pleased.    

“Qi true big wave is still less ferocious. Looks like the actual qi inside my body requires further forging to actually train some actual results of the actual qi from the big wave.”    

After one night of starvation training, it was clear that Jiang Chen's understanding of great waves of true qi was quite proficient. However, it was still unknown how strong that strength was compared to when he practiced Amethyst Eastern Qi.    

However, due to the short training period, the ferocity was clearly lacking in the massive waves of actual qi. If the dominance is less, then this method will be lowered by several levels.    

“Violence is not something that can be obtained from closed training.” Jiang Chen thought carefully and sighed in dissatisfaction. “It seems, it is almost time to feel the outside world, if the time is right.”
