Chapter 347 "Human Race Body Refining Technique" Dong Zhuo Enters the Eastern Han Dynasty [Requesting Recommendation Votes]

Upon seeing the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation broken, the students of Dong Han Academy cheered and applauded with great joy.

The students from Hedong High School quickly scurried away, escaping with incredible speed.

Cao Cao noticed the array gate in Chen Hong's hand, which then disappeared, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"It seems that the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation has fallen into Teacher Chen's hands."

This teacher Chen is quite remarkable. He's only about my age, yet he already possesses such extensive knowledge.

They have now also refined Zuo Ci's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

Doesn't that mean he can lock up thousands of troops with just this formation?

It’s incredible. It’s incredible.

It seems this Teacher Chen is quite skilled; I should try to get to know him better.

For their great achievement in breaking the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, the Five Tiger Generals were awarded medals and granted the privilege of never being placed on probation or expelled from school.

Chen Hong then asked Principal Wang Yun for the right to freely enter and view the National Martial Arts Archives.

This allowed Chen Hong to access and study a vast collection of martial arts manuals gathered over hundreds of years during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This is a very prestigious title, and only someone with Wang Yun's high status in the entire school alliance and a good relationship with Liu Bian could be granted such a privilege.

After such a resounding victory, it was only natural to celebrate wildly.

So Cao Cao invited the Five Tiger Generals, Liu Bei, Chen Hong and his wife, Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao to a grand feast together.

The group of people were enjoying their meal immensely, creating a lively and happy atmosphere.

Because of Chen Hong, Guan Yu was not poisoned by the "Seven-Day Bone-Slaying Poison," and therefore did not need to go to Tiandang Mountain to find a famous doctor.

Next, Chen Hong was busy scanning, learning, and comprehending a vast number of martial arts manuals at the National Martial Arts Archives, so he didn't rush to find Hua Tuo.

It must be said that the martial arts in the Silver Dimension are indeed advanced, much more so than those in the Gold Dimension.

Chen Hong acquired all the treasures accumulated over several centuries during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Aside from occasionally attending classes, he spends his days immersed in the National Martial Arts Archives, frantically scanning and comprehending martial arts techniques.

He incorporated this vast amount of martial arts into his "Embryo Transformation and Nurturing Technique," continuously optimizing, deepening, expanding, and elevating this technique!
As the cultivation technique was perfected and refined, Chen Hong's innate Dao embryo body was also continuously improved.

The innate Dao embryonic body is 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%...

It improves day by day, making progress every single day.

Furthermore, the basic martial arts created by Chen Hong, such as "Farmer's Three Styles," "Woodcutter's Three Styles," "Blacksmith's Three Styles," "Sewing Needle Technique," and "Mischievous Child's Wandering Steps," also incorporate a vast amount of basic martial arts and various refined martial arts wisdom from the Silver Dimension.

This further lowers the threshold for martial arts and the difficulty of cultivation.

This allows ordinary people to learn martial arts and become stronger while doing their daily work.

Furthermore, the speed at which they become stronger is no longer measured in decades, but in years.

With just one year of training, even someone with poor aptitude can at least develop internal energy and become a martial artist.

That's absolutely amazing.

There are countless divine skills and secret techniques in the world, but unfortunately, the more divine the skill, the higher the requirements for aptitude.

Chen Hong's basic martial arts, on the other hand, takes the opposite approach, constantly lowering the threshold for cultivation, embodying the concept that the greatest truths are the simplest, and highlighting the concept of a "jack-of-all-trades".

Anyone can practice it; farmers, women, the elderly, and the infirm can all practice it.

Now, it's guaranteed that you can develop internal strength within a year.

For those with exceptional talent, it's not impossible to break through to the Innate Realm within three to five years and even cultivate True Qi.

However, the higher the cultivation level, the slower the cultivation effect becomes compared to those divine skills.

After all, these are all basic martial arts techniques that are popularized and promoted.

However, its advantage lies in its ability to seamlessly transition to other advanced techniques, emphasizing the foundational aspects of cultivation.

After all, these basic martial arts techniques embody Chen Hong's immense wisdom; they are the essence of wisdom refined through simplification.

Having read so many martial arts treasures in the National Martial Arts Archives, Chen Hong even conceived the idea of ​​creating a revolutionary new martial art.

That is to create a universal method that allows any human being to increase their strength by digesting the nutrients and essence of food.

At that time, regardless of the environment or whether there is spiritual energy, one can increase strength by eating and continuously improve physical stats.

But this is obviously a difficult and huge project, involving not only refining essence into qi, but also physical training, as well as understanding the human body's meridians, internal organs, and various hidden secrets.

More importantly, it's about how to break through the limits of the human body, constantly overcome bottlenecks, and continuously increase the value of physical strength; there are also issues of reducing the difficulty of cultivation and lowering the threshold for cultivation.

Therefore, Chen Hong currently only has a preliminary idea and is still conducting numerous simulation experiments.

It integrates the essence of countless martial arts wisdom from around the world, and constantly deduces and experiments.

Chen Hong decided to name this unfinished great technique the "Human Body Refining Technique".

Chen Hong was so engrossed in learning and deducing a vast amount of martial arts techniques that he had no time to pay attention to the story of Liu Bei and his companions.

Diao Chan was kidnapped by Li Ru and Mei Niang, who were disguised as members of the Yellow Turban Academy, and taken to the Dingjun Mountain Agricultural Reform Farm.

The Five Tiger Generals and Liu Bei went to Dingjun Mountain to rescue people, overcoming numerous obstacles and even getting poisoned.

Unfortunately, Diao Chan was eventually rescued by Lü Bu, who then took the peach.

Lü Bu thus became Diao Chan's personal bodyguard, infiltrating the Eastern Han Academy.

Lu Bu and Guan Yu were vying for Diao Chan's affections. The Five Tiger Generals, for the sake of their good brother Guan Yu, tried to trip up Lu Bu by challenging him.

Unfortunately, none of the Five Tiger Generals could withstand a single blow from Lü Bu, and they were even caught in the act by Diao Chan, who, believing them to be morally questionable, ganged up on Lü Bu.

The Five Tiger Generals suffered a silent loss.

With the help of Diao Chan, Lü Bu consolidated his position and began to garner votes, running against Cao Cao for student council president.

By using the enticing slogan of "Diao Chan's services," Lü Bu successfully garnered a large number of male votes.

Unfortunately, he ultimately lost to Cao Cao by a single vote.

As a result, Lü Bu was beaten by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was already itching to make a move and didn't want to wait any longer.

Therefore, he cooperated with the Yellow Turban Academy. The Yellow Turban Academy issued a challenge to the Five Tiger Generals: if they lost, Wang Yun would have to abdicate and hand over the imperial seal of the entire academy's alliance, with Zhang Jiao taking over as the alliance leader.

Because the Yellow Turban High School has grown strong enough, they can attack directly even if the challenge is not accepted.

So the Five Tigers had no choice but to accept the challenge, but unexpectedly the match turned out to be a hockey game where martial arts were not allowed.

Moreover, the people from Yellow Turban High School used underhanded and insidious tactics, leaving the Five Tiger Generals covered in injuries.

The Five Tiger Generals lost the competition, and the Yellow Turban High School launched a full-scale invasion of the Eastern Han Academy.

This is when Dong Zhuo led his troops to quell the rebellion under the guise of legitimacy and expelled the Yellow Turban rebels.

Dong Zhuo also plotted against Wang Yun, causing him to faint.

Then, under the pretext of treating Wang Yun, they took Wang Yun away and placed him under house arrest.

With this, Dong Zhuo gained complete control of the Eastern Han Academy. Having the strongest military force under his command, he rightfully assumed the position of acting principal of the Eastern Han Academy.

Because Lü Bu was repeatedly the first to support Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao suspected that Lü Bu had a connection with Dong Zhuo.

So they tested Lü Bu and found that Lü Bu's pursuit of Diao Chan was purposeful, guessing that it was Dong Zhuo's scheme behind it.

Dong Zhuo viewed Cao Cao and his supporters as a thorn in his side.

So he acted decisively, assassinating key officials of the Dong Han Academy and eliminating these core members all at once.

Only Cao Cao and Jiang Gan escaped death due to their strength or luck.

Dong Zhuo was also wary of Zhao Yun, the strongest of the Five Tiger Generals.

So they devised a plan to lure Zhao Yun to Fengming Temple, where he was ambushed and knocked unconscious by Mei Niang.

The remaining four generals went to their rescue.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao also went.

Liu Bei discovered an unusual magnetic field here that could cause people to fall under illusions. Worried about the safety of his brothers, he also went in.

As expected, the Five Tiger Generals were all under the spell and were almost led to commit suicide. Liu Bei quickly woke up his brothers.

Then they encountered the sheer number of people from Hedong High School.

For the sake of his brothers, Xiu disregarded the order of time and space and unleashed the [Divine Wind Slash - Wulabaha], delivering a decisive blow.

In the end, everyone successfully rescued Zhao Yun.

Xiu then discovered that Zhao Yun had lost all his martial arts skills.

Ma Chao discovered that Zhao Yun was afflicted with the "Locking Maria" spell, which could seal all the meridians in a person's body, rendering them unable to use martial arts for life, turning them from a powerful man into a frail and weak person.

With Zhao Yun dealt with, Dong Zhuo finally felt a little relieved.

Aside from the mysterious Chen Hong and his wife, who made him slightly wary, Dong Zhuo could only say:

"No one from Dong Han Academy is any good."

Chen Hong and his wife did not interfere with Dong Zhuo's behavior. Every day, besides teaching, they spent their time at the National Martial Arts Archives.

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, the threat was relatively small.

He didn't want to bother dealing with such a mysterious and famous scholar for the time being, lest he get into trouble without gaining any benefits.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo began the obedience test.

He set up a whole host of tedious rules, such as distinguishing between different types of tissues, and then sold them at high prices to make money, testing the students' tolerance.

He then directly announced the removal of Cao Cao from his position as president of the student council and replaced him with Lü Bu, publicly declaring Lü Bu as his adopted son, which caused an uproar.

As a result, Lü Bu's identity was exposed, and Diao Chan believed that Lü Bu was Dong Zhuo's spy who had been using her all along, which caused problems in her relationship with Lü Bu.

In order to restore Zhao Yun's power, Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan, a spy, to steal Dong Zhuo's decoder.

Jiang Gan's first attempt failed, so Xiao Qiao was sent to steal it instead. Unexpectedly, the unlocking device that Xiao Qiao stole actually worsened Zhao Yun's condition after being used.

It turns out that the unlocker was a fake that Dong Zhuo deliberately released to trick them.

To make up for his guilt towards Diao Chan, Lü Bu voluntarily cooperated with Cao Cao and his men, using a diversionary tactic to send Dong Zhuo away.

This allowed Cao Cao and his men to successfully obtain the real unlocker.

Zhao Yun's martial arts skills have finally been restored.

Chen Hong appeared, took away [Locking Maria] and the unlocker, intending to study them. He reassured everyone that with him there, nothing would go wrong at Dong Han Academy.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo's perverse actions and his act of standing out as a scapegoat will not end well.

Chen Hong took the [Locking Maria] and the unlocker away and studied them carefully.

This thing is a product of technology, yet it can seal all the acupoints and meridians of a martial artist's body; it is truly remarkable.

Chen Hong carefully scanned, analyzed, and studied the device, and quickly mastered the specific structure and manufacturing method of [Locking Maria] and the unlocker.

With Chen Hong's current skills in weapon crafting and alchemy, he is fully capable of crafting them himself.

Because he had betrayed his adoptive father Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was furious with Lü Bu and threatened to harm Diao Chan.

Lu Bu had to leave temporarily to protect Diao Chan.

Taking advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo had temporarily lost the protection of his strongest warrior, Cao Cao plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

The Cao family's powerful intelligence network helped them ascertain the specific details of Dong Zhuo's residence.

Every night at nine o'clock, Dong Zhuo practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique, during which his blood and qi stopped circulating throughout his body, and even his breathing stopped, but only for a short period of 30 seconds.

Cao Cao, accompanied by his five tiger generals, took advantage of the 30 seconds that Dong Zhuo lost his sense of the outside world to launch a night attack on Dong Zhuo's residence.

Cao Cao used his long-practiced acupressure technique, "One Finger to Calm the Soul," to strike Dong Zhuo's heart, knocking him unconscious. He then carried him out and switched him with a fake Dong Zhuo, creating a decoy to control his forces.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's heart was located on the right side. Instead of falling into a coma, Dong Zhuo quickly woke up.

In the ensuing chaos, Cao Cao and his men fled.

Cao Cao was grabbed by one foot by Dong Zhuo, leaving behind only one shoe.

The next day, Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered Mei Niang and Li Ru to make a big show of searching for everyone on campus, like looking for Cinderella, to try on the shoes, vowing to find the owner of the shoes.

The Five Tigers and others tried every means to make Cao Cao avoid trying on shoes and escape from the school. Dong Zhuo believed that Cao Cao was trying to assassinate him. He not only sealed up Cao Cao's house, but also issued a warrant for his capture.
