The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Lin Dequan looked at Chen Changgeng and gritted his teeth inwardly.

If I actually go for it, whether I can catch this kid is another matter. What if he changes his mind and kicks me in the same way?

He's about to lose half his life here!

He wasn't confident he could completely destroy Chen Changgeng with one blow.

That's not worth it!

But if he gave up now, it would be a half-hearted effort, and where would he put his pride? What would his eunuchs think of him?

Seeing Lin Dequan caught in a dilemma, Chen Changgeng chuckled.

"Steward Lin, what are you waiting for? Come and arrest him!"

"Since the incident occurred in my janitor's room, I will do my best to cooperate with the investigation."

Originally, Chen Changgeng did not want to take action against Lin Dequan so soon.

He insisted on walking right into the line of fire, so we can't blame him.

Now, Chen Changgeng is actually hoping that he will be arrested as soon as possible.

When the Jiang family arrives this afternoon, he'll have a good show to watch!

Seeing Chen Changgeng's serious expression, Lin Dequan hesitated for a moment, then took a rope from one of his eunuchs and timidly extended it.

Chen Changgeng smiled mischievously and suddenly raised his hand!

"what!"

Lin Dequan was so frightened that he let out a strange cry. But when he looked closely, Chen Changgeng was just scratching an itch.

"Excuse me, Manager Lin, my ear is a little itchy!"

You've been frightened!

Seeing the others in the tidier room trying to suppress their laughter, Lin Dequan's face instantly turned ashen.

This kid is still playing with himself!

"Tie it yourself!"

Lin Dequan, somewhat angry, swung the rope over.

"Yes, sir, Chief Steward Lin!"

With a grin on his face, Chen Changgeng deliberately emphasized the words "Grand Steward" in a mocking tone, then winked at Xiao Fuzi, who immediately scurried over.

Seeing that Chen Changgeng's hands were bound with hemp rope, Lin Dequan felt relieved. He waved his hand to have two eunuchs come up to escort him, while he himself held one end of the rope and swaggered out.

"You little brat, you've finally fallen into my hands today."

Even if I can't kill you, I'll lock you up for seven or eight days and teach you a lesson!

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Dequan's eyes, and then he arrogantly led Chen Changgeng around the mansion.

He wanted to show all the servants and maids in the mansion that within the Crown Prince's residence, he, Chief Steward Lin, was their leader!

There are no prisons in the Crown Prince's residence. Palace servants who commit crimes are usually sent to the miscellaneous affairs room.

Lin Dequan had arrested Chen Changgeng, but he couldn't just lock him up in the janitor's room, so he found a random room and locked him up.

"Go inside!"

Lin Dequan opened the door, shoved Chen Changgeng inside, slammed the door shut, and locked it with an iron chain.

To prevent a repeat of the same mistake, Lin Dequan locked all the windows this time.

"Little Gengzi, you just stay inside and behave yourself."

"Once I've investigated and uncovered the truth, I'll release you!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As the arrogant voice faded into the distance, Chen Changgeng exerted a slight force, and the hemp rope in his hand snapped.

Thirty years of free internal energy is no joke.

Although Chen Changgeng doesn't yet know how to use it properly, this brute force is enough for now.

As for the locked doors and windows, if Chen Changgeng wanted to get out, it would probably only take a few kicks.

"Since I have some free time, I might as well study internal energy properly."

Chen Changgeng glanced around; the room was small, with almost nothing in it except a dusty wooden bed.

There were some miscellaneous items piled up next to the bed, indicating that someone had lived there before it was abandoned.

Chen Changgeng casually picked up a rag from the ground, swept the dust off the bed board, and just as he sat down, he heard a creak in his ear. Suddenly, the air beneath him lifted off the ground, and Chen Changgeng fell backward with a thud!

What's going on? There's a secret passage under the bed!

Chen Changgeng got up with a bewildered look on his face, brushed the dust off his clothes, and looked around.

Before me was a small basement, containing only a few bookshelves and tables and chairs.

The place to descend was a flight of stairs, and perhaps because the latches on the bed board were rotten, Chen Changgeng tumbled down as soon as he sat down.

"There seems to be something on that bookshelf!"

Following the light filtering through the bed frame, and gradually adjusting to the dim light of the enclosed room, he quickly made out the items on the bookshelf.

A few thin booklets, a long sword, some neatly folded clothes, and some miscellaneous items.

"Could it be a martial arts manual?!"

Chen Changgeng was secretly delighted and quickly took the booklets over, sitting on the stairs to carefully read them.

The first book, with a yellow cover, had no title and was clearly copied from another book.

Chen Changgeng glanced at it a few times and was immediately filled with excitement!

"This technique is masculine and fierce, and practitioners must have a certain foundation of internal strength, otherwise they are prone to self-harm. The more powerful one's internal strength, the better the training effect."

"If you have practiced other martial arts before, you must first disperse your internal energy; otherwise, the conflicting techniques will cause anything from severed veins throughout the body to instant death!"

"Isn't this perfect for me!"

Chen Changgeng happily turned to the next page and saw what was written there.

"This technique is most forbidden for virgins to practice. Furthermore, it requires the balance of yin energy during practice; otherwise, excessive yang energy can easily lead to impotence!"

The last two characters were heavily circled with cinnabar, making Chen Changgeng shudder.

Thankfully, I have Ah Zi by my side to act as my tool.

Even without Azi, Xiang'er can help relieve the heat.

However, given how powerful this technique is, I wonder if an ordinary person like Xiang'er could withstand it.

Turning the page further, one finds the methods of circulating qi and the tips for practicing the technique, all without any annotations.

It seems that the owner of this place did not cultivate it after obtaining it.

Turning to the last page, I finally saw a few lines of notes left by the creator of this technique.

"This technique is divided into nine levels. Reaching the third level allows one to condense a protective aura, rendering them impervious to blades and spears!"

"At the sixth level, one can temper their body with internal energy, making them immune to evil!"

"I do not yet know what the ninth level of the top level can do. I am 108 years old and have only cultivated to the seventh level."

"The last two layers are still just a concept; it is hoped that future generations will refine them and promote them throughout the world!"

After reading it aloud in a low voice, Chen Changgeng already had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

"It turns out to be an unfinished cultivation technique, and it doesn't even have a name."

"In my opinion, calling it the Mysterious Gang Skill is just right!"

Chen Changgeng only knew that in this chaotic world, he needed some martial arts skills to protect himself, and he didn't want to think about anything like the eighth or ninth level.

If he could cultivate to the sixth level of immunity to all poisons, that would be more than enough for him.

Chen Changgeng carefully put away the Xuan Gang Gong manual, and immediately turned his attention to the remaining two manuals.

Although these two books are also copies, at least they have names.

The first book is called Guihai Gong, which seems to be for eunuchs to practice.

The second book is called Changchun Gong, which is said to prolong life. When cultivated to the highest level, the sixth level, and combined with three rare elixirs—Yang Huan Dan, Da Huan Dan, and Long Xue Dan—it can regenerate severed limbs.

Severed limbs...reborn?

Chen Changgeng was slightly taken aback and looked down at his crotch.

So, you broke your third limb, huh?
