Teng Jia Zhuangs clan leader Teng Yunlong was once known as the number one good man in Teng Jia Zhuang!

  Teng Yunlong, also known as Teng Qings maternal grandfather, was the highest-ranking head of the clan in Tengjiacun Village. Similarly, he was originally the best blacksmith in Tengjiacun Village.

  Although he is an ironworker, the ancestral manufacturing technique of this familys military equipment is more advanced than some of the citys military equipment craftsmen.

  He took in over a dozen disciples, among whom the most outstanding was Teng Yongfan, the father of Teng Qingyun. Teng Yunlong is getting old, and now Teng Yongfan has completely inherited his skills, becoming the number one blacksmith in the entire Teng Village. As the top blacksmith in the village, its no surprise that Teng Yongfan will be the next clan leader!

  In Tunjiacun, there are generally only three occupations: hunting, farming and manufacturing weapons.

  Hunting and farming earn too little gold and silver.

  And refining a good weapon can bring in extremely high income, the blacksmiths can make Tengjiazhuang rich. Moreover, all the weapons of Tengjiazhuang need to be refined by the blacksmiths. The blacksmiths can make Tengjiazhuang rich and enable the men of Tengjiazhuang to possess sharp weapons.

  So, blacksmiths have a very high status in the village.

  The first blacksmith, as expected, is either the clan leader or the heir to the clan leadership.

  ******

  Father Teng Yongfan spent most of the day in the ironwork shop. Mother Yuan Lan was also busy with various things. Often, only Teng Qingshan was left at home.

  Teng Qing Shan was delighted with this arrangement, closing the Upper Courts door allowed him to focus on his cultivation.

  "Hmph—"

  His left foot was like an iron plow tilling the earth, one step and a line was drawn out, his right foot and right fist almost simultaneously burst forth.

  Xingyi San Ti Shi is both simple and profound.

  The three-body style is the foundation of Xingyiquan, and even the masters of Xingyiquan must continue to practice it. As for Teng Qing Shan, every punch and kick he makes now is absolutely at the level of a master. If you listen carefully near Teng Qing Shan, you can hear very faint sounds, which are produced by the movement of internal muscles and bones.

  Muscles and bones all crack!

  "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hoo!"

  In sync with the triple rhythm, breathing is sometimes short and urgent, sometimes slow, as if the chest were a bellows, containing a strange and mysterious regularity.

  This practice is just two hours!

  Good job!

  "The ancient environment is indeed more suitable for practicing martial arts." Teng Qing Shans heart was already calm and peaceful, "I have been practicing Xingyiquan for a short year, and the inner energy in my body has become even thicker than when I reached the peak of my previous life. No wonder there are lightness skills like Tianya Xing."

  Only when he was reborn in ancient times did Teng Qing Shan realize that it wasnt "Tian Ya Xing" that consumed too much internal energy, but because his own internal energy was truly too little in his past life.

  "Having many inner strengths also means having many inner worries."

  Teng Qing Shan was very worried.

  Because he is only four years old, there are hardly any meridians in his body that are unblocked, and Teng Qing Shan does not dare to forcibly use internal energy to open up the meridians. If he did so, it would lead to "meridian impurities" accumulating in other main meridians and branch meridians, making it impossible for all meridians to be opened in the future.

  For temporary gains, cut off future prospects?

  This is not allowed by Teng Qing Shan.

  "But with more inner energy, I can also strengthen my body freely." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself.

  Neijiaquan is divided into three levels. In fact, each level is to improve the physical quality. The first level is purely muscle strength reaching a limit.

  The second level, after practicing internal energy, use the internal energy to stimulate the deep layer of muscles, making the muscles and bones absorb the internal energy, and grow again, making the body stronger once more. Like Teng Qing Shan was able to withstand the bullet from the godly gunman Sun Ze without dying, its because his muscular strength had reached an extremely terrifying level.

  The third level, after reaching the realm of the grandmaster, can transcend the limits of the human body and continue to make the body stronger.

  After all, in modern society, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too scarce, and the internal strength inside the body is weak. Naturally, everything focuses on strengthening the body.

  "Now I cant use my inner strength, so lets follow the second level, stimulate the muscles and bones, and strengthen the body." Teng Qing Shan was originally a master, of course he knew what to do.

  Internal energy is like fertilizer, and muscles and bones are like plants. After absorbing the fertilizer, muscles and bones can grow.

  And this stimulates the tendons and muscles, absorbing internal energy is the secret method of Neijiaquan. Its also the most precious part.

  In the time and space where Teng Qing existed in his past life, for over a thousand years, countless talented and extraordinary individuals have emerged one after another, gradually perfecting their craft from generation to generation, finally creating the incredible Neijiaquan.

  "Hmm, she should be back by now." Teng Qing Shan opened the courtyard door and locked it after him before heading straight to the Teng Family Manors martial arts training hall.

  Tengjia Village Martial Arts Arena is the most lively and bustling place in Tengjia Village.

  "Hey!"

  "Cheers!"

  All sorts of shouting and laughter filled the air, as Teng Qing Shan walked over to take a look. The entire martial arts training ground was filled with young men and children, each practicing their skills, some rolling iron balls, others wielding stone locks, or practicing spear techniques.

  Apart from every morning when all adult males in the clan gather for a collective morning exercise, at other times, the martial arts training ground is open to everyone for self-initiated practice.

  On the edge of the martial arts training ground, there were also some women washing clothes and doing other chores. The women did their work while watching the men train.

  "Qing Shan has arrived." Some women smiled and greeted Qing Shan.

  "Auntie is good." Hong Qingshan also responded politely.

  "Qingshan is such a well-behaved child, not causing any trouble at all. Shes only four years old and Alan already feels at ease letting her play alone." Those women laughed and praised, Qingshan in Tunjia Village was famous for two things: "being able to eat" and "being well-behaved and sensible". Little kids can be quite a handful, many people who have raised them know this.

  Ke Heng Qing Shan was clever and did not let his parents worry at all.

  "Sister." Teng Qing Shan walked over.

  Yuan Lan was sitting on the edge of the martial arts training ground, holding a baby in her arms. The baby was Teng Qing Shans younger sister, almost three months old, named "Qing Yu".

  "Qingshan, your elder cousin is over there." Yuan Lan smiled and said.

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head, only to see a young man about six feet tall, constantly suspending a large stone lock with one hand. The large stone lock weighed at least 100 kilograms. A 100-kilogram stone lock, suspended in such a way, required extremely strong arm strength and shoulder power.

  "This world is full of spiritual energy, and the physical quality of ordinary people is two to three times stronger than that of ordinary people in my previous lifes modern society." Teng Qing Shan sighed with emotion.

  "Your eldest cousin, Qinghu, lifted a 300-jin stone during the New Years celebration. At nine years old, he can lift a 300-jin stone; I reckon hell be the first hero of our Tengjiazhuang village." Yuan Lan sighed in admiration.

  Hong Qingshan grunted in response.

  Teng Qinghu, at the age of ten, was nearly six feet tall. In this world, one foot is equivalent to 25 centimeters, which means Teng Qinghu was nearly 1.5 meters tall. Under normal circumstances in this world, a nine-year-old boy should be able to lift 70-80 kilograms, which is considered normal.

  Lift over 100 catties, grow up to be a good man.

  If he can lift 300 catties at the age of nine, thats indeed a gift from heaven. His mother, Yuan Lan, said that Teng Qinghu might become the first hero of Teng Family Village in the future, and this is not an idle boast.

  "Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, If Brother Teng can lift a 300-jin boulder, his accomplishments will be boundless if he learns internal fist from me. The conditions for practicing internal fist are very strict. In modern society, there are many practitioners, but some small schools, such as the Thieving School, have even declined to the point where they havent produced anyone with internal energy."

  After all, it is extremely difficult to change from outside in.

  To cultivate internal energy, its extremely rare, and to reach the level of a grandmaster, perhaps only one in 100 million people can achieve it. The requirements for innate talent are obvious.

  Older brother Teng Qinghu is indeed a good fighter.

  "Unfortunately, Im just a kid now, who would believe what I say? And it cant be made public now, the consequences of making it public..." Teng Qing Shan didnt think about it anymore.

  "Hi, Qing Shan."

  At this time, a voice came from afar, and the Qingtian Tiger put down the stone lock. His upper body was covered in sweat, and he walked over with a smile, "Qingshan, what do you do every day staying at home? Come to this martial arts arena more often. Youre still young now, although you cant practice strength training, its not good to stay cooped up at home."

  A child who stays at home all the time will become introverted, which is really not good.

  "Thanks, Brother Tie," said Teng Qing Shan with a smile.

  "Ah, Qing Yu, little Qing Yu." Teng Qing stretched out his tiger head beside the baby, playing and teasing.

  "Hey, Qinghu, youre all sweaty, dont drip on Qingyu, go take a shower and put on some clothes." Yuan Lan scolded, "Come to my place for lunch today, the brothers who went hunting yesterday sent over a wild chicken, Ive cleaned it up and its stewing on the stove."

  "Good."

  That Qingtianhu smiled and rushed to a not-too-distant place, grabbed the gourd scoop and scooped up the cool water to directly flush his body, then picked up a towel to wipe himself clean, and put on his clothes.

  Teng Qing Shan really likes his brother-in-law. He has the usual generosity of men from Teng Village, and is very good to both himself and his sister Qing Yu.

  "Huh?" Ting Qing Shans ears moved slightly.

  Practicing internal martial arts, Teng Qing Shans six senses were extremely sensitive. He had already heard the faint noise from afar, and gradually, the sound grew louder. Then he saw three women carrying a man with blood all over his head, running quickly towards him. One of the women shouted loudly: "Quickly, someone come and help carry Big Monkey back home!"

  "Whats going on?" The gate of Tengjiazhuang opened and many people rushed out immediately.

  The entire martial arts arena was in an uproar.

  "Somethings happened." Yuan Lan picked up the infant in her arms and stood up abruptly.

  "The men of the first and second teams will stay in the village, all other men, bring your weapons and follow me." A loud shout came from the entrance of the village, and Teng Qing Shan immediately recognized that the speaker was the Master who had been teaching everyone in Teng Family Village how to use guns - Teng Yongxiang.

  At Master Fus one word of command, suddenly the whole Dengjiazhuang was in an uproar, and the news spread quickly.

  "Its the people from Wai Zhuang who are messing with us, damn it, lets kill them." Teng Qinghu also picked up a long gun and turned to look at Teng Qingshan, "Qingshan, are you going or not?"

  Hong Qingshan picked up a stone from the ground at will.

  "Are you going to hit people with small stones?" Teng Qinghu couldnt help but laugh, "With such a small stone and your strength, its useless."

  "Lets go, brother. Mother will send my sister back if she comes, and I wont be allowed to go." Teng Qing Shan didnt explain much. At this time, most of the meridians in his body were not yet fully connected, but children originally had fewer impurities in their meridians. Moreover, the double-handed meridian was the easiest to practice. When Teng Qing Shan first possessed internal energy, he could penetrate the ground with a single palm strike. At that time, the meridians in his hands were already open.

  Using internal energy, with a throwing knife technique, throw stones that have been imbued with internal energy, the power is not much weaker than bullets.

  Teng Qing Shan himself still has limited strength and can only rely on his inner power.

  "Come on, dont worry, Ill protect you." Teng Qinghuo was full of confidence, holding a long spear and taking Teng Qingshan with him, following the crowd, rushing out.
