Chapter 7: Korea was once full of martial virtues
As the lights went out, the bedroom fell into complete darkness. Soon, Jiang Nu, who seemed to be too tired, began to snore softly, and Yang Chong seemed to have fallen asleep. However, after the curtain was lowered, Yang Chong suddenly sat up, exposing his body in only one piece of clothing to the air.

There was no sleep tonight.

Strength, strength.

In the darkness, Yang Chong's eyes were bright and he did not look sleepy at all. The emergence of external danger made Yang Chong more eager to have enough strength. Moreover, he had been looking forward to top-level martial arts for a long time.

The first level of the Nine Yin Bone Claw is called the Golden Silk Hand Seal, which requires practicing the Nine Yin True Qi for a hundred days before you can begin practicing it. At this point, practicing with the Nine Yin True Qi will make it the pure Nine Yin Divine Claw. However, Yang Chong obviously does not have a hundred days to allow himself to practice the Nine Yin True Qi step by step, so he can only directly practice the second level of the Soul Capture Seal.

This level of cultivation method can be practiced with the help of the dead air and ghost energy in the cemetery. Although it has various disadvantages without the Nine Yin True Qi as a foundation, the cultivation method that relies on the external force of dead air is the fastest. Three months is enough to practice the Nine Yin Bone Claw, and when the claw is out, it will have the enchanted damage of ghost energy and Yin wind. When facing danger, it is not without the ability to fight.

Yang Chong followed the cultivation method deep in his consciousness, and as he breathed in and out, an inexplicable energy suddenly emerged from his body, flowing through his meridians. It finally gathered in one place, entangled with each other, and turned into a small vortex, or it could be said that they just found their own destination.

Opening the Dantian, something that an ordinary martial artist might need several years, or even a lifetime to accomplish, Yang Chong actually did it overnight. It must be said that as a time traveler, he has his own advantages. Not to mention anything else, just the ray of innate energy that came with his time travel is enough to make him a martial arts wizard in this world.

Of course, without that trace of innate energy, he would not be able to unlock the magic of the pendant.

The pendant had been passed down in the Lu family for so many years and no one had ever discovered its specialness, so much so that when Yang Lin was preparing to replace the Peach Zombie with his luggage, he simply threw it to Yang Chong as a useless item. However, this thing that Yang Lin thought was useless has now become the foundation for Yang Chong to gain a foothold in this world.

Of course, the pendant can only be transformed into something magical by Yang Chong.

When the daylight gradually brightened, Yang Chong stopped practicing. A whole night of practice did not make him feel tired. Instead, he felt refreshed. However, he could only practice at night, one for secrecy, and two because he had his own things to do during the day.

……

Yangdi, once belonged to Zheng State, and now belongs to Han State. Although Zheng State and Han State were not considered great powers in their respective eras and were both beaten again and again, this does not mean that the people of Zheng State and Han State were weak in combat power. On the contrary, the people living in this land are not weak at all.

Zheng, as a small hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, was limited to the Central Plains and could not expand, so that the national strength could not be improved. But even so, Zheng was not weak, and only hegemonic countries could beat it. At that time, Zheng became a hegemony tester. If anyone wanted to dominate, the first thing they thought of was to beat Zheng. There was even a time when Qin wanted to dominate and was willing to go on a long expedition to beat Zheng.

For the big powers at that time, only by defeating Zheng State would they be qualified to compete for hegemony.

It can be said that at that time, except for being unable to defeat the hegemonic powers, Zheng State was definitely the strongest among the small and medium-sized countries.

As for South Korea, it is located in an area surrounded by enemies, but it is very self-aware. It knows that its country is small and its population is small, so it has devoted almost all its energy to developing armaments. Since it cannot compete with other countries in terms of population, it will take the route of elite troops. As a result, South Korea has world-famous weapons: crossbows and sharp swords.

There is a saying about bows and crossbows: "The strongest bows and crossbows in the world all come from Han. The ones with long range can pierce the chest, and the ones with short range can pierce the heart." The sword is known as "cutting cattle and horses on land, cutting swans and geese on water, and cutting through the enemy's armor and iron curtain." Therefore, although Han is almost on the verge of extinction, its military strength is not weak. At least with the same number of troops, the Han army is still a strong army, much stronger than the Yan army.

The combat effectiveness of the Korean army is built on the Korean people. Therefore, in Korea, any healthy man, after entering adolescence, will be trained by his village every autumn. In this era, most countries that emphasize farming and warfare are like this.

Xiliu Village is one of the villages under the jurisdiction of Yangdi County. It is close to the capital Xinzheng, and the Korean government has stronger control over it. Such rules are naturally enforced very strictly, and Yang Chong also has to conduct training every autumn.

"Hit." On the training ground converted from a wheat field, Yang Chong held a hunting bow with the arrow pointing at the target thirty steps away. The short hair hanging on his temples made him feel the presence of the wind. He adjusted his breathing along with the breeze, and his breath merged with the wind. The arrow moved with the wind, and with a sound of trembling, the arrow feathers hit the center of the bull's eye, and the tail feathers trembled slightly, showing the power of the bow and arrow.

"Well, Yang Chong, your archery skills are now good enough to rank among the top three in the village. You will definitely have a big harvest this time when you go hunting in the mountains." Coach Qin Ming, who had been observing Yang Chong, praised.

"Only third?" Yang Chong drew his bow and arrow again, but he was disdainful. There were only a few people in Xiliu Village, but he had to be ranked third.

"Be content. We have practiced something for our whole lives. If you surpass us so easily, then at our age, aren't we living a useless life?" Qin Ming shook his head and laughed. It was a rare occasion for him to praise someone, but he didn't expect that the other party was still not satisfied.

"I didn't say that." As Yang Chong spoke, his fingers loosened and the arrow was nailed on the target again.

"You continue to practice. I'll go check on those little guys. In a few years, you might have to go to the battlefield. Increasing your strength will give you a better chance of saving your lives." Qin Ming looked at Yang Chong and felt that he had nothing to offer in terms of guidance, but that was not the case for the other teenagers in the village.

"Uncle Qin, don't worry about me. I can practice on my own." Yang Chong said.

Three days later, the village will form a team to go into the mountains to hunt, and Yang Chong will take the opportunity to go with them. Of course, he is not going for any prey, but to take the opportunity to find a suitable place for training.

The world of martial arts is unfamiliar to Yang Chong. His greed for martial arts drives him to pay great attention to the practice, not to mention the pressure from death. So Yang Chong has been studying hard for several days. In just a few days, he has cultivated true energy. However, there are many people in the village and Yang Lin's weirdness prevents Yang Chong from revealing himself before he has mastered martial arts.

Therefore, finding a secret and suitable place for practice became a necessity for Yang Chong.

It just so happened that Dalongshan perfectly met all of Yang Chong's requirements.

Most of the places in Dalong Mountain are sparsely populated, which is enough for Yang Chong to hide his secrets. Moreover, there is an ancient battlefield there. It is rumored that the last batch of Zheng troops died in battle there, so that the resentment has lingered all year round. It is the most suitable place for Yang Chong to practice the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
