The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

In other words, among the direct descendants, there were no promising individuals willing to practice martial arts and pursue a dedicated path as military generals, which is why it seems like the family has been neglected.

But when Jia Huan, an illegitimate son, brought it up, it immediately became the focus of attention for the entire Rong Mansion's upper echelons.

What? This illegitimate son wants to inherit the Rong family's martial arts? What makes him so special?

If any of the Rong Mansion's higher-ups were even slightly dissatisfied, Jia Huan would either be executed without a proper burial, or he would basically never have a chance to rise in the future.

These things don't need to be investigated. Just understanding how martial families valued their lineage in feudal times will reveal some of the secrets.

Otherwise, knowing that the Rong Mansion might have a complete system for training military officers, or rather, a model for training martial arts, why did Jia Huan not take any action?

Ask Aunt Zhao to whisper sweet nothings in his ear, under the pretext of improving his health. Even if Master Zheng doesn't like it, getting basic martial arts training methods won't be difficult.

The legendary stories circulating in the inner courtyard of the Rong Mansion about the two former Dukes, the subsequent Duke Shan, and the clan chief Dai Hua all describe these four as highly skilled in martial arts.

Because of his background and education, he was not a so-called "Confucian general"!

In the early days of joining the army, they all stood out by relying on their strong martial arts skills.

Only after reaching a high position did they gradually transition into generals and commanders.

How could there be no martial arts skills passed down in the military without any merit?

But for Jia Huan at this moment, these were simply precious resources that were out of reach.

If he were to show even the slightest interest, his second wife, Madam Wang, who had been watching him closely, would surely intervene and restrain him.

Even at the clan school, it's impossible to secretly train.

Didn't you see Madam Wang constantly giving him a warning?

His words clearly indicated that he had done some research on the situation at the clan school.

Or rather, there was simply a leak of information.

Obviously, trying to secretly train at the clan school is not a reliable option.

Unless Jia Huan skips the clan school altogether and finds an opportunity to train outside.

But that would be too dangerous.

Putting aside the risks outside, the hostility from within the manor alone is something he cannot easily handle at this moment.

Lady Wang didn't need to do anything; she only needed to have Zhou Rui's wife quietly inform Master Zheng that Jia Huan was not going to the clan school.

You can guess what happened next!

If Master Zheng loses his temper, Jia Huan might be bedridden for months.

As for going out to study, don't count on it for at least a year.

Knowing the serious consequences, would Jia Huan willingly step into the trap?

It wasn't that he cared much about being able to study, but rather that he didn't want to be confined to the backyard of the Rong Mansion.

He couldn't enjoy any decent resources, yet he had to endure Aunt Zhao's verbal attacks every day; he was afraid he would go crazy.

After much consideration, the only place I can exercise is my own small courtyard.

The small courtyard where he and Aunt Zhao lived was really small, and the open space in the middle, which resembled a skylight, was even smaller, probably only ten or twenty square meters.

Moreover, they couldn't make too much noise and arouse suspicion from the second wife who lived nearby.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient and simpler for Jia Huan to train in a secluded spot in the backyard of the mansion, just like before?

The key issue is that it's easy to expose; if it arouses the suspicion of the second wife, Madam Wang, it would be disastrous.

If the old lady, Grandmother Jia, knew, the situation would probably be even worse.

The second wife's family also has a legitimate son, Jia Baoyu. Is Huan-ge'er trying to use his status as a concubine to overpower the legitimate son?

Fortunately, he has a cheat code!

After a period of contemplation and analysis, Jia Huan discovered the special features of the Golden Finger.

Previously, at the clan school, we learned the primer "Three Character Classic"!

He had a good memory and quickly memorized the entire Three Character Classic.

This wouldn't have been a problem, but when he saw on the learning panel displayed by his cheat code, the progress for the "Three Character Classic" section was only a mere 15%.

Since he had plenty of free time at the clan school, he conducted in-depth research on this topic.

To further advance the learning progress of the "Three Character Classic", the correct approach was found after many experiments.

That means having a full understanding of the content of the Three Character Classic!

Just like modern students learning classical Chinese, it's not simply a matter of memorizing; they also need to understand the specific meaning of the classical Chinese texts.

As a result, Jia Huan only understood the specific meaning of one-third of the content of the Three Character Classic, and his learning progress on the panel suddenly jumped to 25%.

Now he finally understood part of the function of the cheat system!

During this time, a small experiment he did unintentionally made Jia Huan realize another wonderful use of the cheat code, a rather powerful function!

To further improve the learning progress on the panel, one naturally needs to gain a deeper understanding of the specific meanings of more content in the "Three Character Classic".

I don't know what I was thinking that time. Even though I knew the specific meaning of some parts of the Three Character Classic, I still thought of a wrong understanding, or rather, a distorted understanding.

As a result, he discovered that his progress in learning the Three Character Classic on the panel had not improved at all!

Then, he correctly understood the same content of the "Three Character Classic" and found that his learning progress on the panel had improved.

In other words, to improve the learning progress on the panel, you must have the right learning methods and understanding approaches.

To put it bluntly, only a correct understanding of knowledge can improve the progress of related learning items.

To verify this finding, he added two more learning items to the learning panel: the Thousand Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames.

Both of these are books for starting a journey, and the clan school naturally has them in reserve.

It wouldn't be difficult for Jia Huan to get his hands on it.

After verifying his knowledge with these two introductory books, he was finally certain that the special function of his "golden finger" was to help him find the right direction for learning.

The effect is not very obvious when it comes to reading!

After all, no matter what kind of book it is, unless there is a standard answer, you will have your own understanding after reading it.

If you apply it to physical exercise, the results will be truly amazing.

Forgot the timer

Chapter 12 is not for bookworms (please continue reading)

Thanks to the convenience of the information explosion in my past life!

Similarly, thanks to the many imaginative novels!

Faced with the difficulties of his own training, Jia Huan immediately thought of a solution.

At this moment, he was strolling around the open space in the small courtyard to digest his food, while constantly adjusting his breathing rhythm.

On the virtual learning panel in front of me, in addition to mud playing, the Three Character Classic, the Thousand Character Classic, and the Hundred Family Surnames, there is also a new item called "breathing exercises".

That's right, he wanted to use the error-correction function of his cheat system to learn the techniques from some mind-bending novels he had read in his previous life to exercise his body.

In Jia Huan's understanding, "breathing and exhaling" is not something to be taken lightly.

In ancient times, during the pre-Qin period, practitioners of Qi practiced the method of inhaling and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth, which was called "breathing and exhaling".

Many Taoist practices require the coordination of breathing exercises!

In my past life, I saw some medical practitioners' methods of exercising in short videos, which also relied on "breathing exercises" as an aid!

Martial arts training and other forms of physical exercise all require the coordination of breathing techniques!

Numerous examples demonstrate that proper breathing techniques can be a primary means of physical exercise.

Jia Huan is currently experiencing and verifying this firsthand!

Therefore, he stretched the percentage number representing the "Breathing" option to four decimal places.

That's right. After research and analysis, his "golden finger" data can show even more subtle changes.

For example, the digits after the decimal point in a percentage can be extended indefinitely if the person wants, but it's unnecessary.

If we were to use a health bar instead, it would mean that the length of the health bar would be stretched from one centimeter to about one meter, and naturally, we could see very subtle changes.

With clear numerical representations, he could easily discern the differences in the stimulating and training effects of various breathing rhythm changes on his body.

Jia Huan's requirements were not high; he only needed a noticeable change in the decimal part of the percentage representing the effect, without expecting to directly alter the percentage figure.

The Golden Finger also has an error correction function, which can discard those ineffective or poorly effective breathing rhythms.

In this way, you can quickly and directly capture an effective breathing rhythm!

Write it down in your notes, compare it with others and choose the one that works best. That will be a temporary success.

Of course, such things require a great deal of effort and time, and one shouldn't expect any good results in a short period of time.

Jia Huan wasn't in a hurry!

If you can find a breathing rhythm that works well with your walking and provides noticeable exercise benefits over the next six months, then you've succeeded.

There's no need to strive for perfection!
