Chapter 222 Accumulating Strength for Future Success
……

Turn around and leave.

Wu Wen arrived at a quiet, empty room.

Although his master had passed on the Water Escape Technique to him.

However, the scriptures that are taught are actually all theoretical knowledge.

To put it into practice, one needs to gradually study and deduce, transforming theory into practical ability and being able to apply it.

This is precisely what "enlightenment" means!
In the interior.

Through simulation and deduction, Wu Wen initially concluded that the core techniques for performing the "Water Escape Technique" lie in three points.

First, the primordial Qi, condensing high energy, breaks through the flow of water.

From a fluid dynamics perspective, this means creating a high-pressure area at the front of the body to generate a sufficiently powerful airflow whose pressure exceeds the static pressure of the surrounding water flow, thus cutting through the water flow like a sharp blade.

Second, the Taiyi True Wind maintains a stable airflow channel.

This requires precise control of the airflow speed and direction to ensure a stable low-pressure zone at the tail of the body, allowing the water to flow smoothly around the body and reduce drag, just like the tail of an airplane to maintain flight stability.

Third, the top is gathered, forming a closed loop structure as a whole.

The airflow at the front and the airflow at the rear must work together to form a complete circulation system, so that the airflow field around the entire body reaches a dynamic balance, thereby achieving efficient movement in water.

Once these three difficulties are resolved, one can initially grasp the method of high-speed travel in water.

And among these three questions.

Actually, there's an even more crucial issue hidden within.

How can we create "energy centers" all over the body?
According to the supercavitation effect, when an object moves at high speed in water, cavitation bubbles will naturally form when the speed exceeds a certain critical value.

However, the core essence of Water Escape Technique is to enable the user to travel at high speed through water.

This creates a contradiction:
To form cavitation, high-speed motion is required; and to achieve high-speed motion, cavitation must first be formed.

The key to breaking this deadlock is to first use other methods to create cavitation air pockets around the body.

The method of breaking the curse, as recorded in the scriptures, is to bombard the target with one's own condensed "qi".

As for how to execute this bombardment technique, Wu Wen needs to figure it out himself.

Inside scene.

Wu Wen's consciousness manifested in a turbulent body of water.

This is not a tranquil deep pool, but a turbulent area with surging undercurrents.

The turbid water, carrying eddies and currents, tore at each other like thousands of sharp blades.

When the surging undercurrents approached within three feet of him, they strangely slid away along some invisible force field, as if there were an inviolable forbidden zone around his body.

Wu Wen's body swayed, and suddenly, a dark blue arc of electricity burst from his back.

These electric arcs, like living things, cling to the entire body, weaving a dynamic protective net on the skin's surface, with each electrical node precisely corresponding to a stationary point.

He then initiated a "fish-like" advance.

His body transformed into an arrow released from a bow, piercing through the water.

However, as his speed increased...

The resistance of the water flow ahead seemed to transform into a semi-transparent barrier, blocking our way.

Even though he activated the electric arc to enhance propulsion, the "wall of water" composed of viscous and inertial forces hardened exponentially with increasing speed.

"Electric arc furnace, start!"

The electric arc around Wu Wen suddenly collapsed into a high-density plasma sphere.

Intertwined and flashing electric arcs weave together to form an electric arc net.

In this arc network, each arc node becomes a magnetic confinement ring that confines the high-temperature plasma.

When its temperature exceeds the critical point.

The surrounding water undergoes an instantaneous phase change: liquid water sublimates directly into plasma at ultra-high temperatures, forming stable supercavitation cavities on the surface.

In an instant, the resistance field in front of Wu Wen dissipated like morning mist meeting the rising sun.

The magnetohydrodynamic effect generated by the electric arc furnace not only maintains the cavitation morphology, but also transforms the water flow into a propellant.

immediately.

Wu Wen's figure transformed into a blue streak of light, breaking through the barrier in the supercavitation channel.

The trail it left behind created a perfect water turbine in the turbulent current.

—

"Success!"

Wu Wen's figure suddenly froze in the inner scene, and the dark blue electric arcs surrounding him dissipated like the receding tide, leaving only a few wisps of light flickering.

Immediately afterwards, his consciousness withdrew from the inner vision.

inside the room.

Wu Wen slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, forming a confident smile.

He truly hadn't expected the simulation to go so smoothly, succeeding on just one try.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "great things come from small beginnings"! He thought to himself.

A determined light shone in his eyes.

He got up and pushed open the door.

A breath of fresh air wafted over me.

During cultivation, time always flies by in the blink of an eye.

Although Wu Wen did not consciously perceive it, a night had quietly passed since he stepped into the room to comprehend the Water Escape Technique.

It was already noon the next day.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds, casting a golden glow over the courtyard.

Wu Wen strolled into the central hall.

From the steward, he learned that his master, Li Chunfeng, was still in the secret room and had not yet come out. Grandmaster Zhiyuan was still leisurely watching the fish in the fishpond, while Grandmaster Guo had remained in his room without showing himself.

"My lord, what would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you!" the steward asked respectfully.

"Just give me a few plates of snacks!" Wu Wen replied casually.

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately turned and left.
Before long, he returned with two maids, carrying four plates of exquisite pastries and a pot of fragrant tea.

"My lord, please enjoy your meal!" The steward laid out the pastries and tea one by one.

Wu Wen casually picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and savored it slowly.

About fifteen minutes later, he had devoured all four plates of pastries and tea.

Just as Wu Wen was about to get up and go to pay his respects to his master.

The steward hurried in with a court eunuch dressed in magnificent attire.

"My lord, His Majesty summons you to the palace!" the eunuch said respectfully.

"But what's wrong?" Wu Wen frowned slightly.

"His Majesty is hosting a banquet today, so he sent me to invite you there," the eunuch explained, his face beaming with smiles.

Another banquet! Upon hearing this, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Li Shimin really loves to throw banquets!"
He nodded slightly and followed the eunuch to the palace.

—

On the way to Taiji Palace.

Wu Wen happened to meet two teenagers.

Surrounded by a group of palace maids and guards,

One of them was dashing, handsome, elegant, and possessed a refined and noble air.

The other one was slightly overweight, but had an endearing and lovable face.

These two men are none other than the current Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince Wei, Li Tai.

Wu Wenben didn't want to pay them any attention.

Unexpectedly, after spotting Wu Wen, they immediately turned around and came to greet him.

"Crown Prince, Prince Wei!" Wu Wen greeted them calmly.

"Lord Dingxiang, what a coincidence! You're also going to Chongren Hall, aren't you?" Crown Prince Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Wu Wen nodded slightly.

"Then come with me!"

As he spoke, Li Chengqian came to Wu Wen's side, wanting to travel with him.

At the same time, King Li Tai of Wei also joined Wu Wen on the other side.

Seeing this, Wu Wen immediately felt troubled.

He strode towards Chongren Hall.

Beside him, Li Chengqian hurried after them, asking enthusiastically:
"Lord Dingxiang, I've heard that you are exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts, arguably the best in the world. Could you teach me some martial arts techniques?"

"I dare not claim to be the best in the world. To say such a thing is to flatter me to my detriment. Your Highness should not take it to heart," Wu Wen replied calmly.

"Lord Dingxiang, there's no need for modesty."

On the other side, Prince Wei, Li Tai, echoed, "In today's Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know the illustrious name of you, the War God of the Northern Frontier, Marquis of Dingxiang!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Tai, asking, "The God of War of the Northern Frontier? Who told you this, Prince Wei?"

Li Tai replied with a smile, "Do I need to hear anyone's words? These days, the story of you, Marquis of Dingxiang, is being told everywhere in Chang'an!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen couldn't help but smile.

Even in Dingxiang, or even in the Turkic Khaganate, he had never had such a great reputation.

Yet, in Chang'an, some people have exaggerated and spread his reputation so much.

It seems that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.

Ignoring who was playing mind games, Wu Wen continued walking forward.

For him, such scheming tactics were useless. As long as this person dared to step forward, no matter who he was, Wu Wen could make him instantly regret being born.

"Lord Dingxiang, I sincerely wish to learn martial arts from you, and I am not afraid of hardship. I can endure all the pain of martial arts training," Crown Prince Li Chengqian said again.

“Me too!” King Li Tai of Wei shook his chubby face and said, “I also want to learn martial arts from you.”

"Can you endure hardship?"

Wu Wen looked at the two men and found them somewhat amusing, so he pressed them for an answer: "Are you sure you can endure the hardships of martial arts training?"

"Yes!" The two nodded solemnly at the same time.

"Well!"

Wu Wen solemnly replied to the two of them, "If you can learn all ten books of the Mathematical Classic, then I will teach you martial arts."

The "Ten Mathematical Classics" refers to ten famous mathematical works written during the Han and Tang dynasties, spanning over a thousand years.

These include the *Zhoubi Suanjing*, *Jiuzhang Suanshu*, *Haidao Suanjing*, *Zhang Qiujian Suanjing*, *Xiahou Yang Suanjing*, *Wujing Suanshu*, *Jigu Suanjing*, *Zhuishu*, *Wucao Suanjing*, and *Sunzi Suanjing*.

Today, these "Ten Mathematical Classics" are also textbooks for the mathematics discipline at the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

Upon hearing Wu Wen's request, the two were taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Practicing martial arts? What do you think we need to learn these things for?"

"Didn't you two say you could endure hardship?" Wu Wen retorted.

“Yes, but what does that have to do with suffering?” the two asked, puzzled.

"Your Highnesses, you don't think that the hardships of martial arts training are just physical pain, do you?"

Wu Wen sighed, "The real suffering in the world is never physical, but mental."

"If the two of you can thoroughly understand the 'Ten Books of Mathematical Classics' and endure the tedious and boring learning process, you will have passed the first step in truly practicing martial arts."

"Then I will teach you some real skills!"

After saying that, Wu Wen stopped talking and strode towards Chongren Hall, leaving Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were still a little stunned and hadn't reacted yet, behind.
