Chapter 74: Cold Winter
Chapter 74: Cold Winter
Xu Hongyu was not weak anymore.
Chen Mu hadn't yet reached the peak of the sinew transformation realm, but he was already at the top of the sinew transformation stage. After all, Xu Hongyu is one of the outstanding members of the fourth generation of the Yu family, and she hasn't even turned twenty-six this year, yet she has already achieved a significant level of sinew transformation and mastered two sword styles.
Basically, in a few days, she would reach the sinew transformation completion without any obstacles. At this age, achieving sinew transformation completion and breaking through to the bone forging realm is also not impossible. It can be said that solely through strength, she will become a core Figure in the Yu family in the future.
Chen Mu thought for a while and summoned the system panel.
Only to see that all the previous martial arts descriptions in the martial arts section had vanished, replaced by a new description.
【Martial Way: Xuanfeng Intention】
【Experience: 11 points】
【Deduction attempts: 0】
The martial arts description has changed to 'martial Way.' Clearly, the previous sword and blade techniques were still within the scope of martial arts, but reaching the 'intention' step has already entered the realm of Martial Way.
Chen Mu tried once more, discovering that the number of deduction attempts was based on the consumption of experience points, with each attempt requiring a total of 10,000 experience points, which is significantly higher than before.
"10,000 points, it will take some time to accumulate."
Chen Mu shook his head.
Intention is not the end.
According to his knowledge, intention itself has three levels. The first level is 'seeing clearly.'
The second level is 'touching and grasping.'
He had previously attempted to touch and grasp the threads of the wind between heaven and earth, but the result was that he couldn't grasp them at all, also because his realm was still one layer away. If he could grasp the threads of the wind in his palm, that would be the second level of intention.
The final level of intention is the third level, 'body and mind in unison.'
Not only can you see, touch, and grasp, but even your own body can be integrated into it, without any hindrance or pause, reaching a height where even a slight gesture can directly draw on the power of heaven and earth, already at the level of legend.
And to Chen Mu's knowledge, Yu Cheng has not yet such a person. the second level of intention, even the city lord has not yet reached, and the third level is nearly legendary.
"Perhaps it's about time to enter the sinew transformation realm."
Chen Mu murmured to himself.
His Heavenly wolf bodybuilding technique is now just a step away from completion. In a few days' effort, he will have mastered intention and his bodybuilding technique will also advance to the sinew transformation, bringing a leap in strength.
At that time, there will hardly be any opponents in the entire Yu Cheng who can match him. With a glance across the entire Yu Cheng, he will also have a certain self-defense capability.
Wang Ni, wearing a cotton coat, her round face was huddled behind the bedroom door, leaning against the stove, occasionally feeling the cold wind blowing through the door crack, making her rub her small hands from time to time.
The ice pillars on the courtyard walls and the icicles along the walls have already frozen into long sections, and the white fog from her breath quickly solidified into ice crystals.
"Master, you're truly impressive. In such cold weather, you can practice boxing without wearing clothes."
Behind Wang Ni, the young servant 'Ku Er' was rubbing her small hands, blinking her eyes with admiration and looking at Chen Mu practicing his techniques in the courtyard.
"Mm, the snow in the courtyard has already melted, and perhaps it's even warmer than the stove."
Wang Ni nodded her head, speaking softly.
Watching Chen Mu practicing boxing in the snow, her rosy face had unknowingly turned a bit warm.
By the end of the year, she would be almost twelve years old. At this age, the young girl had already begun to understand many things. After all, in this world, the common age for girls to get married was around thirteen or fourteen.
Ku Er, on the other hand, didn't understand much. She looked at him with admiration for a while, then suddenly a gust of cold wind made her shiver, and she said in a small voice, "It seems, this winter is colder than the past few years."
"Is that so."
Wang Ni looked at Chen Mu intently, and this time she couldn't help but rub her hands again.
Indeed, this winter was much colder than the past few years. For the last two or three years, it hadn't been this cold, so she didn't dare stay outside the house for long, and her hands would freeze and become stiff after a short time outside.
After all, a maid shouldn't be too weak.
He practiced for a while.
Chen Mu stopped and walked into the house.
The nearby Wang Ni and Ku er quickly poured the boiling hot water into the basin and fetched a towel, busily serving Chen Mu as he walked to the table, sat down, and drank a cup of hot tea.
He said that this year's winter was indeed much colder than in past years. This world doesn't have a 'thermometer' kind of thing, but by his estimation, the temperature had dropped by at least a dozen degrees compared to previous years, and these days felt like it would continue to drop.
"The severe cold, could there be some reason?"
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
If it were in the previous life, he would probably only feel the climate, but this world is indeed a bit different, with all sorts of unusual things.
In a 6 to 9-month-old book edition, it was all correct!
According to the City Guard records, such extreme cold and heat had appeared in the past, but these weather changes often brought no good things, leading to reduced crop yields and making life harder for the poor peasants, and sometimes even causing disturbances by demons.
While Chen Mu was thinking.
Suddenly a servant's voice came over.
"Master, Miss He came."
"Um."
Chen Mu nodded, put down the teacup, casually put on a long robe, and then went out.
Upon arriving at theDoor, he saw Xiao He wearing a bamboo hat standing in the snow, dressed in a light yellow dress. In Chen Mu's impression, Xiao He always wore simple everyday clothes, standing next to Xu Hong Yu, rarely dressed in silk robes. This time, however, she was dressed in a light yellow dress, which was also quite rare.
"How is it?"
Xiao He saw Chen Mu's gaze linger on her, smilingly asked.
Chen Mu, still not answering, said, "What's the matter with Xu Hong Yu?"
Xiao He pouted her lips, saying, "No official business, I couldn't come to find you. Last time, you even said you'd prepare a banquet to make amends for me..."
Chen Mu lost his smile, reaching out to greet, "I'll have someone go handle it."
Xiao He waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I came to talk with you. There has been a demon activity in the Qinglian Mountains outside the city. The City Lord and others have sent people to deal with it. Miss will also, Miss needs to go out, and in the recent days, she will have less time in the city, so you need to be more cautious lately to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."
Hearing Xiao He, Chen Mu was not too surprised, after all, he was just thinking about the unusual weather, wondering if there could be demon activity or some city guard event recorded inTheRecords.
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Mu nodded at Xiao He.
Xiao He winked at Chen Mu, saying, "Congratulations."
Chen Mu, upon hearing, smiled at once, then arched his hands in greeting, "Congratulations."
Xiao He had been following Xu Hong Yu for years, her natural talent was good, and she had already crossed the threshold of Sinew Transformation, which was not overly surprised. After all, being able to cross this step was not an easy feat, it also meant she had entered the room. Despite the difficulty, she managed to achieve it, and now she had a foundation in Sinew Transformation and a sword aura, which she could independently handle (End of Chapter)
