Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 16 The Great General's Cultivation Method

Purr, purr, purr.

"Eat slowly."

As Zhang Shuhua spoke, she served food to Lu Zhao.

Gu Yong sighed, "It's a pity they didn't find any chronic diseases. I was still hoping for the best, but now I'm out of hope. I can't even eat."

He spat out a piece of braised pig's trotter bone and picked up a piece of roasted pork rib.

I didn't eat rice.

Zhang Shuhua didn't even bother to say anything to him: "Xiao Zhao, you're done with your physical exam so quickly? Did they not examine you thoroughly? Why don't we go to the hospital again and get a more detailed checkup?"

"Mom, the military's equipment can scan through bone marrow with a single scan, so there won't be any leaks," Lu Zhao said helplessly.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, even getting cancer is better than being drafted into the army.

Even if the world lacks civilian medical resources, the level of technology is still there, and if you are willing to spend money, the long-term survival rate for most cancers is still relatively high.

If I go to the battlefield, I might die within two or three years.

Lu Zhao finished the last few mouthfuls of rice, then put down his bowl and said, "I'm going to school."

"Going today too?"

"Tsk, what do you know, you old woman?" Gu Yong said. "Learn more from that PE teacher. Even if it's just to build up your body, at least you'll be able to run faster in case of danger."

Lu Zhao went back to his room to change into sportswear, and then sent a message to Chen Qinhu, telling him that he was going straight there.

As Gu Yonggang walked out into the living room, he put down the phone: "Come back early this afternoon. My old classmate called again. Let's go visit him tonight."

"understood."

Lu Zhao agreed and headed straight for the school.

Today, Zhou Changsheng, who was standing by the playground, was neither sleeping nor reading. He was playing a match-3 game on his phone.

"Teacher Zhou, the physical examination is over."

Zhou Changsheng tapped on his phone screen without looking up and asked, "Is there a problem?"

He waited a while, but didn't hear a reply, so he finally paused the game and looked up. He then saw Lu Zhao with a serious expression, raising an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Is there really a problem?"

Loading progress +3%.

Lu Zhao: "Very healthy."

"Why do you look so gloomy when you're perfectly healthy!" Zhou Changsheng rolled his eyes.

Of course, this is to speed up the process.

Lu Zhao thought to himself.

The reason why they couldn't use this method to evoke the other party's concern before was because the two of them were not familiar with each other at all. Zhou Changsheng, with his big temper, probably wouldn't be worried about him.

However, now that I'm practically a disciple, I can naturally diversify my methods for increasing loading progress.

He changed the subject: "Well, the talent test was also done, and Tiger got 90 points."

"90?!"

Zhou Changsheng was about to continue playing his mobile game when he heard this, and he immediately became excited. "You said 90 points?! This kid, wow, you'd better stick close to his leg."

Lu Zhao gave a perfunctory salute: "I, Lu Zhao, will always cling to Teacher Zhou's coattails, with absolutely no disloyalty!"

"...Stop being so cheeky."

Zhou Changsheng was both amused and exasperated. "Let me tell you, after he enlists, he will cultivate the Twelve Martial Scriptures of Heaven and Man just like you. As long as he shows progress that matches the test results, he will be immediately trained by a specialist and become a reserve talent."

"At that time, you only need to do two things: first, don't die; second, don't fall out with him. Once he becomes a general, you're guaranteed at least a personal guard position."

Lu Zhaoqian laughed and said, "It's impossible for us to fall out, but as for me dying, that's another story."

Potential stocks only bring real benefits once their potential is realized. Chen Qinhu also needs to truly become a general before he can bring his relatives and friends to the top. Before that, if Lu Zhao remains a low-ranking Qin soldier, he will still have to go to the battlefield as a lowly line-filling baby.

So you can't just do nothing and rely on Hu Zi; you have to rely on yourself.

"Let's go practice our physical fitness first, and wait for him while we're at it." Zhou Changsheng waved his hand.

So Lu Zhao went to the side to train by himself.

Most of the process of learning martial arts techniques involves strengthening the body; one cannot practice martial arts if one is physically weak.

After Lu Zhao ran a few laps, Chen Qinhu arrived, and the two returned to Zhou Changsheng's side.

"Did they say they would pass on cultivation techniques to you?" he asked.

Chen Qinhu replied, "The Chongxuan Method."

"The Double Profound Method?"

Zhou Changsheng's eyes lit up. "This is indeed suitable for you. You don't need to practice this anymore."

Chen Qinhu glanced at Lu Zhao subconsciously, who understood immediately and asked, "Teacher Zhou, this Chongxuan Method isn't much worse than yours, is it?"

Zhou Changsheng chuckled twice, without giving a direct answer, and instead said, "This cultivation technique was created by the previous general Xiang Zhaoyan. Although he did not practice it himself, he taught many famous generals in the army."

The Xuanwu Heavy Armor, the Heaven-Lifting Power, and the Three Peaks of Rock Force—these renowned top-tier special skills were all developed through cultivating martial arts scriptures using the Xuanwu Method.

Chen Qinhu's eyes shone brightly. Although he didn't recognize these special skills, they sounded amazing just from their names.

"If Tiger develops a special skill, it'll be the same as me having one," Lu Zhao said happily.

He realized that powerful special skills often had unusual names; for example, the one called "Heavy Strike" was only green.

Of course, there will be exceptions. After all, his special skill was copied and already had a name, but other special skills have names given by people. If someone insists on calling their self-developed special skill "Old Man Pushing a Cart," no one will stop them.

However, his attention was not on the special skills at the moment, but on the great general Xiang Zhaoyan, whom he found hard to concentrate on every time he heard his name.

The pinnacle of Qin military generals consisted of fifteen great generals, one of whom was surnamed Xiang.

It was hard not to make the connection, but the history books didn't mention anything about the Xiang family he was thinking of, as if they had been erased out of thin air. So he didn't know how this timeline had developed into this way.

Zhou Changsheng said, "Since that's the case, let's make some changes today. I'll teach you some theories related to meridians first. I was originally planning to talk about this tomorrow or the day after, but I'll finish it first. Xiao Chen doesn't need to come tomorrow."

Next, he used the built-in projection function of his phone camera to project a diagram of human meridians onto the ground.

Lu Zhao looked down and saw that the meridians in this human body diagram were similar to those before he transmigrated. There were roughly twelve regular meridians, eight extraordinary meridians, twelve divergent meridians, and fifteen collateral meridians, totaling forty-seven clearly defined meridians. In addition, there were countless superficial and minute collateral meridians, which were innumerable.

Besides the meridians, the 412 standard acupoints are exactly the same. The difference is a new theoretical system called Xingzhui.

The foundation of martial arts in this world comes from the theory of the interaction between heaven and man. With the development of productivity to this level, people naturally know that the sky is not just the blue thing above their heads, but the entire universe.

Therefore, the "natural connection" here refers to the link between the body's meridians and acupoints and the cosmic galaxy. These celestial vertebrae are areas within the human body formed by meridians and acupoints as celestial bodies. These areas are the source of power for martial arts practitioners.

"I will tell you about the location and characteristics of these star vertebrae, and their relationships, mutual generation and mutual restraint. When you begin to cultivate the Twelve Martial Scriptures of Heaven and Man, you will know which part of your energy should flow. The differences between different cultivation techniques also become apparent here. I can't explain the specifics clearly, but you will understand when you learn the martial scriptures."

Zhou Changsheng picked up a fallen tree branch, pointed it at the projection, and said, "However, what follows may be more difficult, so please concentrate."
