Chapter 115: The Divine Art of the Same Name
Everyone is the protagonist of his own life, but for the larger society, the weight of each protagonist is different.
Just as Wudang Mountain and Ming Palace, two places of great attention in the Ming Dynasty, were gradually changing because of Zhu Chengwu, Zhu Chengwu in Xuzhou City was also not idle.
After fulfilling his promises and meeting with some people who assisted in disaster relief, Zhu Chengwu began a new round of seclusion.
Of course, before going into seclusion, Zhu Chengwu also fulfilled his promise to Zhao Xinghan and the second elder of the Cui family.
In the gap between meeting with disaster relief workers and resettling the affected people, Zhu Chengwu had already formally accepted Zhao Xinghan's legitimate son Zhao Shilin as his registered disciple in front of everyone in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion.
Perhaps in order to pass on their bloodline and for the sake of mutual progress, Zhao Xinghan's legitimate son Zhao Shilin chose to practice the "Xiantian Gangqi", one of Zhu Chengwu's three famous skills.
Zhao Shilin is Zhu Chengwu's first disciple, and Zhu Chengwu was also very satisfied with Zhao Xinghan's choice. So even though Zhao Shilin is now only a registered disciple of Zhu Chengwu, Zhu Chengwu not only taught Zhao Shilin the unique martial arts "Xiantian Gangqi" this time, but also taught him the corresponding magical skill of the same name.
With the "Jade Book" in his mind, as long as Zhu Chengwu has accumulated enough experience and reached a certain level, he will never lack magical skills.
As early as when Zhao Xinghan, Gao Yao, Dai Fayan and others went to Cui's house to pick up the bride, Zhu Chengwu had already considered that there might be a peak period in the future in terms of demand and exchange for magical skills.
In order to have an attractive enough bait and maintain the enthusiasm of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, Zhu Chengwu, based on the unique martial arts "A World Away", "The Fiery Palm" and "The Innate Qi", used the power of the "Jade Book" to deduce three magical skills with the same name.
Because this time it was others who were learning it and it was not Zhu Chengwu's own foundation method, Zhu Chengwu did not put enough effort into it, resulting in the three magical skills with the same name that he deduced this time only barely reaching the level of magical skills.
How perfunctory was Zhu Chengwu in deducing these three magical skills with the same name?
Let’s put it this way!
If the three unique martial arts of "A World Away", "The Fiery Palm" and "The Innate Qi" were created to give full play to Zhu Chengwu's optimized internal force of "Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong", then the three current martial arts of the same name were merely created by Zhu Chengwu to complement the three unique martial arts of "A World Away", "The Fiery Palm" and "The Innate Qi".
He is the subordinate of the subordinate of the "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu" optimized by Zhu Chengwu.
Although they belong to the same level of magical skills, these three magical skills with the same name are at least two levels lower than the "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu" practiced by Zhu Chengwu himself.
And there is another problem. Using one of these three magical skills with the same name as the basic method can only bring out the power of the corresponding unique martial arts with the same name. Practicing other unique martial arts will greatly reduce their power!
However, despite many minor problems, Zhu Chengwu felt that using these three magical skills of the same name was enough to train his disciples and subordinates!
After all, possessing both the internal strength foundation of the divine level and the martial arts skills of the unique level is already the standard of the twelve magical skills of the royal Zhu family!
Not everyone has the "Jade Book" in their mind like Zhu Chengwu!
Moreover, even Zhu Chengwu, who had the "Jade Book" in his mind and used his royal status to continuously broaden his knowledge and improve his martial arts skills, still spent more than 20 years to reach his current state where he doesn't care much about the magic book.
Although these three magical skills with the same name only barely meet the standards of magical skills, they are ultimately magical skills that can make a true master. The master is already the nuclear deterrent of this world!
Moreover, Zhu Chengwu felt that the three magical skills with the same name that he created had another advantage, that is, the upper limit was not high and the barriers were not strong. True geniuses could easily break through the limitations of these three magical skills and carve out their own path to becoming masters.
The barriers of the three magical skills with the same name created by Zhu Chengwu this time are much easier to break than the barriers of top magical skills such as Tai Chi internal strength and Tai Chi boxing and sword.
Zhu Chengwu deduced and guessed that as long as one had 10% to 30% of the talent of Wudang founder Sanfeng Taoist, there was a great chance that one could break away from the barriers of the three magical skills of the same name created by him and thus carve out their own path.
But, how many warriors in this world have 10% to 30% of the talent of Wudang founder Sanfeng Taoist?
However, this problem was ignored by Zhu Chengwu!
If a warrior who practices the three magical skills with the same name created by Zhu Chengwu fails to break through the barriers of his predecessors, there will be no way for him to become a master!
Moreover, due to the difference in internal strength foundation, these three magical skills with the same name can only exert the power of the corresponding unique martial arts of the same name. Practicing other unique martial arts will greatly reduce their power. The master martial artists who practice the three magical skills with the same name created by Zhu Chengwu will become the bottom among the masters.
These are the flaws of the three magical skills with the same name created by Zhu Chengwu.
Zhu Chengwu had expectations for Zhao Shilin, his registered disciple, relative of his mother's family, and legitimate son of Zhao Xinghan, an old man in the marquis's mansion.
As the creator of the skills, Zhu Chengwu certainly knew the flaws of the three skills with the same name he created. So as long as Zhao Shilin could achieve first-rate skills before the age of 25, Zhu Chengwu would not only accept him as a formal disciple, but would also teach him the other two of the three skills with the same name in advance, to help him learn by analogy and break away from the barriers as soon as possible.
As for Zhao Shilin not being able to achieve first-class status before the age of 25...
Then the possibility of Zhao Shilin becoming a master is very small!
Even if Zhao Shilin succeeded in becoming a Grandmaster by chance, he would not have the chance to go far on the Grandmaster's path. So now the perfected magical skill manual "Xiantian Gangqi" would be enough for Zhao Shilin!
After all, there is no such thing as late success in martial arts practice, which emphasizes physical fitness.
For Zhu Chengwu, these three magical skills with the same name came easily and were not very precious.
But except for Zhao Shilin, who had just been accepted as a registered disciple by Zhu Chengwu, no one else in Fu'an Marquis Mansion had received any of the three magical skills with the same name taught by Zhu Chengwu!
This is the bait that Zhu Chengwu uses to attract his subordinates to work hard for him. If it is released easily, it will be worthless!
Even if it was handed over to Zhao Shilin, Zhu Chengwu publicly stated the reasons. One was the many contributions made by Zhao Xinghan, one was the benefit of Zhao Shilin being Zhu Chengwu's first disciple, and another reason was compensation for Zhao Xinghan.
In order to protect the "Earth Core Fire Lotus", on the way back to Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Zhao Xinghan desperately used the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique", but his foundation was severely damaged!
There is a 99% chance that I will never reach the Grandmaster level in this lifetime!
After knowing that there was such a reason why Zhu Chengwu accepted Zhao Shilin as his disciple and taught him the complete manual of magical skills, no one in Fu'an Marquis Mansion doubted that Zhu Chengwu did so out of selfish motives!
At least no one questioned it publicly anymore!
If a force wants to go far and last long, it will not work if it insists on one-man rule and high-pressure policies!
Everyone has selfish desires!
Only fairness is the best way to maintain a force!
Even if it is only open on the surface!
Superficial fairness is also an attitude, which at least proves that the powerful people are willing to maintain fairness and will not act arbitrarily.
In this way, the middle and lower classes and the bottom of the power can see hope!
Only then will they have reason to convince themselves to accept exploitation!
Once the middle, lower and bottom classes of a force can no longer see even a little bit of false hope, then this force will not be far from falling apart.
In addition to Zhao Shilin, there was another person who inherited one of Zhu Chengwu's three complete magical skills, and that was Cui Rongwei, the grandson of the second elder of the Cui family.
After getting Zhu Chengwu's promise, the second elder of the Cui family rushed back to the Cui family's land overnight and brought his grandson Cui Rongwei to the Fu'an Marquis' Mansion. Before Zhu Chengwu changed his mind, he had to secure the prize!
This is the truest thought in the heart of the second elder of the Cui family.
Although, Zhu Chengwu never thought of changing his mind and breaking his promise!
When Zhu Chengwu accepted Zhao Shilin as his apprentice, the second elder of the Cui family had already returned to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion with his grandson Cui Rongwei.
Teaching one is also teaching, teaching two is also teaching!
In order to save time, Zhu Chengwu taught them all at once!
However, Cui Rongwei prefers offensive martial arts.
He did not choose the "Innate Qi" chosen by Zhao Shilin, but chose the unique martial arts "The Fiery Palm" and the magical skill of the same name "The Fiery Magic Skill".
However, no matter what Cui Rongwei chooses, it makes no difference to Zhu Chengwu, they are just some not-so-precious magical books!
Zhu Chengwu did not attach as much importance to Cui Rongwei as he did to Zhao Shilin.
After all, Cui Rongwei was just a deal, and the teaching would end when he was done. And Zhao Shilin was more or less a registered disciple.
However, during the time when Zhu Chengwu was teaching Cui Rongwei, news began to emerge that the second elder of the Cui family was a traitor to the Cui family and that it was the second elder of the Cui family who sold the Cui family's high-level rare treasure, the Earth's Core Fire Lotus, to Marquis Fu'an.
Moreover, as more and more people knew that Cui Rongwei and Zhao Shilin learned martial arts together with Zhu Chengwu, the news that the second elder of the Cui family had betrayed the Cui family became more and more intense, and even many versions of the story appeared.
As these news emerged, Zhu Chengwu thought that the second elder of the Cui family would come to him, or go to the source of the leak of the news - Cui Shuyun to ask for an explanation and make a fuss.
Unexpectedly, the second elder of the Cui family seemed very calm, living in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion as if nothing had happened.
While urging Cui Rongwei to practice martial arts, he was also helping the Fu'an Marquis Mansion to deal with some miscellaneous matters.
That’s it…
Until one day, Zhu Chengwu accidentally overheard Cui Rongwei and Zhao Shilin, who had become closer and closer because of their martial arts training with Zhu Chengwu, chatting.
Only then did Zhu Chengwu finally get the answer!
It turned out that the second elder of the Cui family had been prepared for the leak of the news and had not even thought of keeping it secret from the Cui family.
The second elder of the Cui family only asked to keep the secret from the Cui family before Cui Rongwei obtained the magical skills manual.
After Cui Rongwei obtained the magical skills manual, let the news leak out!
Cui Rongwei is a member of the Cui clan and has a lot of contact with his uncles and brothers. It is impossible for Cui Rongwei to completely hide his practice and use of the magical skills from his many uncles and brothers.
Even the second elder of the Cui family, after getting Zhu Chengwu's promise, hurried back to the Cui family's land and brought Cui Rongwei to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion alone, and he was already prepared to expose himself.
For the second elder of the Cui family, the most reassuring option is to let Cui Rongwei learn the magic book as soon as possible and put it in his pocket.
As for the other members of the Cui clan, now that the facts have already happened, the second elder of the Cui clan is confident that he can convince them to accept reality.
After all, the Earth Core Fire Lotus was discovered by the second elder of the Cui family and brought back to the Cui family.
Moreover, Fu'an Marquis Zhu Chengwu has now become a martial arts legend and is also the son-in-law of the Cui family.
Cui Rongwei will become the only member of the Cui clan who possesses the magical power book and is the hope for the Cui clan's future.
To be honest, after hearing the conversation between Cui Rongwei and Zhao Shilin, Zhu Chengwu was shocked.
Because Zhu Chengwu still thought that the second elder of the Cui family would keep the secret from the Cui family members until there was nothing left to hide and he would automatically reveal the truth!
Unexpectedly, the second elder of the Cui family had such a plan.
First create the established facts, then use real interests to persuade!
It turns out that everyone in this world has their own ideas and plans, and no one will act completely according to the arrangements of others.
It is really stupid to blindly guess what others are thinking and use it as a basis for judgment!
The only thing people can control is themselves!
The most important thing people should do is to make themselves stronger and control themselves.
In just a few days, after teaching the two sets of magical skills to Cui Rongwei and Zhao Shilin respectively, Zhu Chengwu went into seclusion.
This time, Zhu Chengwu's retreat was not only to recuperate from the minor injuries and backlash caused by the battle with Marquis of Xibei and Duke of Yan, but also to further perfect the secret technique of "Lotus Fire God".
The reason why he was only now recuperating from his injuries and the backlash, and had allowed his injuries to worsen in the previous few days, was not only because Zhu Chengwu really couldn't bear to see the people suffer from unnecessary disasters, but also because Zhu Chengwu deliberately showed off his strength, wanting the outside world to think that even a battle with two masters would not be a big deal for him.
The previous battle with Duke Yan and Marquis Xibei played a big role. Some shortcomings and weaknesses of the "Lotus Fire God" secret technique were exposed, as well as the true ability and upper limit of the Earth Core Fire Lotus...
All of this provided Zhu Chengwu with excellent material to perfect the secret technique of "Lotus Fire God"!
Practice is the best teacher!
It is easiest to find your own flaws in actual combat!
This is the reason why Zhu Chengwu, after being crowned as queen, acted like a martial arts fanatic, constantly accepting challenges and duels from all kinds of martial artists.
The gains from this battle with the Duke of Yan and the Marquis of the Northwest once again proved the correctness of Zhu Chengwu's theory.
However, although he gained something after the war, Zhu Chengwu felt that the improvement of the "Lotus Fire God" secret technique could be put on hold for the time being. Judging from the current situation, no matter how it was upgraded and improved, the fire attack state and earth defense state of "Lotus Fire God" would hardly undergo qualitative changes.
The most important thing for Zhu Chengwu now is to deduce a higher-level method to deal with the Taoist magic of refining the spirit, to enhance the resistance to the Taoist magic of refining the spirit, and to strengthen the control over the "Earth Core Fire Lotus".
In the previous battle, Zhu Qinyu, his cousin, posed too great a threat to Zhu Chengwu.
Also, after being hit by the Taoist technique of refining the soul, the Earth Core Fire Lotus actually broke away from Zhu Chengwu's control and automatically returned to its original state.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Duke Yan and Marquis Xibei were facing Zhu Chengwu’s “Lotus Fire God” secret technique for the first time, they would have been short of experience and intelligence, and the fact that Marquis Xibei, who had rich practical experience, was forced to hide from Zhu Chengwu’s true flame rays at that time, and was far away…
Then Zhu Chengwu might have been in real danger!
