I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 67 A group of old men
Soon, Jia Cong arrived at the gate of Zhao's mansion.

However, he discovered that the door of the Zhao Mansion was locked and the master had not returned yet.

Jia Cong waited patiently at the door.

Not long after, the eldest brother Feng Ziying and the second brother Liu Xianglian also arrived.

After meeting and greeting each other.

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian asked Jia Cong about his progress in a roundabout way.

Jia Cong avoided the question and did not tell the two old men about his actual progress.

The three brothers waited for more than an hour before Master Zhao came back.

After the four masters exchanged greetings, Zhao Shicheng brought his three disciples to the martial arts arena.

Zhao Shicheng said to Jia Cong, "Come, Cong'er, show me what you have learned from beginning to end."

"I want to see how you are doing. Have you been lazy before and after the New Year?"

Beside him, Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask, "Master, what about me? I'm the eldest senior brother, why don't you ask me how I'm doing?"

Liu Xianglian followed up by saying, "And me, and me!"

Zhao Shicheng asked with disdain: "Okay, then I will ask you, whether you have made any progress in boxing or horse kung fu?"

After these words were spoken, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian fell silent, neither of them saying a word.

Improving your martial arts level becomes more difficult as you advance in the later stages.

How could it be so easy to improve one's realm in just a month or so before and after the New Year?
Seeing the two people's reactions, Zhao Shicheng said contemptuously: "Humph, I was too lazy to ask you, but I didn't expect someone to humiliate himself!"

These words made Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian so angry that their teeth were itching.

Zhao Shicheng said to Jia Cong, "Cong'er, don't pay attention to your two brothers. Come, let me see how your Hunyuan Zhuanggong is progressing."

"Yes, master!"

Then, Jia Cong started practicing Hunyuan Zhuang Gong.

“Dacheng?!”

"It's done?"

"I knew it……"

The master and his two disciples were all shocked.

Before Jia Cong, the most talented Liu Xianglian took five years to practice Hunyuan Zhuang Gong to the highest level.

The more hardworking senior brother Feng Ziying has not yet reached the great success realm.

And how long has my junior brother been practicing?
All in all, it took less than half a year from start to finish.

All of a sudden, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian were so shocked that they began to doubt their lives.

In front of their junior brother, they felt like they were trash. How could they be called geniuses?
What’s even more infuriating is that the junior fellow isn’t practicing as hard as they are!
It’s really hard to compare people to death, and you have to throw away goods when comparing goods!

Zhao Shicheng said with shining eyes: "Good, good! You are indeed a good disciple of the master!"

Next, Jia Cong demonstrated the proficient level of Bajiquan, the skilled level of Fengyun swordsmanship, and the entry-level level of Blood-Drinking Spearmanship.

Almost every one of them would cause the three masters and apprentices to be amazed.

Only his Blood-Drinking Spear technique has not been improved. However, looking at his moves, he is very skilled and I am afraid he will be able to reach a higher level in no time.

You know, it is extremely difficult to improve your marksmanship after spending your whole life using a gun.

With such a huge improvement, Jia Cong is already considered a genius.

After suffering a series of blows, the two senior brothers Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian felt that they had lost the desire to live.

Feng Ziying is slightly better than Liu Xianglian.

He couldn't help but said, "It doesn't matter, there are bows and arrows below!"

"And bow and arrow require a lot of shots to develop a feel for it."

"Where does Junior Brother have so much time to practice archery?"

Liu Xianglian also agreed with what his senior brother said.

Next, Jia Cong began to demonstrate his archery progress. Senior Brother Feng Ziying first set up a ten-step target.

Jia Cong shot out ten arrows very quickly, and every arrow hit the bull's eye.

Behind him, the master and his two disciples couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Ten more steps back."

"Yes, master."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Another ten arrows, and again, all of them hit the bull's eye.

The master and his two disciples couldn't help but gasp again.

"Move back ten more steps!"

"Yes, master."

As a result, Feng Ziying moved back seven times until he was eighty steps away, and Jia Cong's arrows were always accurate and all hit the center of the bull's eye.

"Move back ten more steps!"

At this time, Jia Cong put down his bow and arrow, swung his arms and said, "Master, my arms are sore, I can't continue shooting arrows now."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao and his two disciples realized belatedly that Jia Cong had shot eighty arrows almost continuously from beginning to end!

Let’s not talk about whether he hit the target or not, just the fact that he was able to shoot eighty arrows in such a short time.

Even sharpshooters in the army are rare.

It can only be said that in just over a month, Jia Cong's physical fitness has improved a lot.

There will also be obvious progress in internal skills and mental methods.

Otherwise, it would never have lasted so long!
Seeing that his master and two senior brothers were shocked beyond words, Jia Cong felt secretly delighted.

snort!
Let you guys form a group to laugh at me last time!

You won't laugh at me now, will you?

I can’t scare you to death!

Jia Cong's archery skills have reached a small level of success. Although he is still not as good as Liu Xianglian, the gap has narrowed a lot.

After a long while, Master Zhao and his two disciples finally recovered from their shock.

Zhao Shicheng could not help but order: "Go and bring the horse over, so that I can see if your riding skills have improved."

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Master, I don't have a horse, and I haven't ridden a horse before or after the New Year, so my riding skills haven't improved much."

Hearing this, Zhao Shicheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay!"

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Jia Cong's face suddenly darkened.

What I'm saying is that my riding skills haven't improved, and I don't know what the master is talking about?

You just wish I didn't make any progress, right?
Soon, Liu Xianglian brought the horses.

Jia Cong got on the horse, but he was still unfamiliar with it, which showed that his riding skills had not improved at all.

The more the master and his two disciples looked at it, the more satisfied they became, and the happier they became.

However, not long after, Feng Ziying couldn't help but say, "Eh? Master, Second Junior Brother, have you noticed that Junior Brother's riding skills have improved a bit too fast?"

After Liu Xianglian heard this and looked at it for a while, he also said: "This progress is indeed a bit fast."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"That is to say, if Junior Brother had horse training, he would have almost caught up with us in riding skills by now?"

Feng Ziying couldn't help but say, "It's really unfair! How could Junior Brother be so evil?"

Zhao Shicheng snorted coldly, "He is your junior fellow apprentice. How can you, as your senior brothers, be so narrow-minded?"

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Just now when my junior brother got on the horse, you looked unhappy.
