I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

...

After Yan Jiefang returned to City 49, he continued to manage his second and third sons very strictly, just as he had done in the first half of the year.

They are not allowed to go out alone or in groups.

They also receive intensive historical education at home to enhance their national pride and confidence in the country.

He was relatively at ease with his eldest brother, Yan Xueqian.

This child is willing to think things through carefully and is generally able to think things through before acting.

It is probably due to the influence of playing Go for many years that he has a very calm personality.

Besides, his daily schedule is fixed, so it's impossible for him to get involved in those messy things.

In mid-August, the second child, Yan Xueheng, also received his college admission notice.

Like his older brother, he also scored over 700 points on the college entrance exam, ranking first in Beijing, and applied to Tsinghua University's Computer Science Department.

However, due to the incident that cannot be written about, the registration time for this year's freshmen has been delayed considerably. The registration date stated on the admission notice is September 24th.

Students from other areas will have to postpone their registration until late October.

Because they were confined to the house, the second and third children, having nothing to do, began to practice the "Divine Speed ​​and Ever-Changing" light-body skill like crazy.

The principle that hard work pays off is perfectly exemplified in both of them.

By the time school started in September, both of them had mastered the technique to near perfection!

When they used this lightness skill to run around the courtyard, if an ordinary person were here, they would see several afterimages following behind them!

After the retina receives a light signal, the signal does not disappear instantly; the image is retained in the visual system for a short period of about 1/20 to 1/50 of a second.

In other words, their speed has exceeded the visual limits of ordinary people, resulting in the effect of Duan Yu using the "Lingbo Weibu" technique in the TV series.

However, similar to Duan Yu, they had not cultivated their internal energy for long enough, and their internal strength was insufficient, so they could not maintain this state for a long time.

Despite this, the two were still very excited to feel the changes in themselves.

They exchanged a glance, then Yan Xueheng looked at his father, Yan Jiefang, sitting under the eaves, and said loudly:

"Dad, you see I've already learned light-body skills. Could you teach us another martial art to improve our combat abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang put down the photocopy of "Lyon's UNIX Source Code Analysis" and looked at the second and third brothers:

"What kind of martial arts do you want to learn? Tell me, and I'll see if I have any here."

Yan Xueheng seemed to have been prepared, and he spoke directly:

"Does Brother Gou have the Tai Xuan Jing that he studies? Or the Four Illuminations Divine Skill, the Celestial Immortal, or Listening to Spring Rain All Night in a Small Building?"

With increasing exchanges between domestic and international audiences, martial arts novels by authors such as Jin Yong and Gu Long began to circulate widely.

I'm also learning more and more about various martial arts.

In their spare time, people also started debating which martial arts were the strongest.

In the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the Nine Yin Manual, the Nine Yang Manual, and the Book of Changes are no longer considered top-tier; only the Tai Xuan Jing stands out as truly exceptional.

In the realm of traditional martial arts novels, works such as "Four Illuminations Divine Skill," "Formless Divine Skill," and "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" have begun to emerge.

Yan Jiefang shook his head inwardly at his sons' expectations:

Or perhaps it's the environment that limits your imagination.

When Huang Yi makes his move in a few years, you will know what it means to have someone even stronger than the strongest.

Not to mention the high-level martial arts and fantasy genres that emerged after 2000.

While thinking about these things, he was also thinking about what kind of martial arts training he should prepare for the children.

He scanned the books on qigong and other cultivation techniques piled up in the space with his divine sense.

Finally, I chose a book called "The Practice of Qigong Therapy".

There's no other reason than that this book focuses on healing, and it's relatively thick with detailed content.

The text records the practice methods for various exercises, including internal cultivation exercises, strengthening exercises, and health-preserving exercises.

He still hopes his children can grow up healthy, not through fighting and killing.

It just so happens that this year's super critical hits were used in this area. If we get another super critical hit next year, we should be able to produce a decent cultivation technique.

If he could find the "Divine Illumination Scripture" that could bring the dead back to life, he would be completely satisfied.

The original plan to launch a devastating attack on the lithography machine had to be postponed.

He currently has over a dozen PAS2500 systems and isn't in a hurry to need a better lithography machine.

Even if you get a critical hit, you can't use it without the raw materials.

Besides, we can buy very advanced ASML lithography machines from Taiwan, so we can just go there and beg for a few.

I heard that ASML is already developing the PAS5000 and PAS5500, and they should be available for sale in the next few years.

after...

He picked up the photocopy again and said softly:

"This is a bit troublesome. I'll try to figure something out. I should be able to get a decent cultivation technique next year, and then I'll pass it on to you."

Now, you should focus on learning the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" and the "Divine Speed ​​Transformation" properly.

Although slightly disappointed, the two nodded.

"Alright then, I'll do as Dad says."

They had all read a lot of martial arts novels and imagined the world their father lived in as a hidden martial arts world they didn't know about.

I know how difficult it is to obtain a top-notch martial arts manual in that kind of world.

That would be an endless shower of swords and blood.

However, they all had confidence in their father's abilities.

After all, even if the three brothers joined forces, they couldn't withstand a single move from their father.

In their eyes, Dad was a peerless martial arts master who lived in seclusion in the city!

Yan Jiefang was unaware of the children's thoughts.

If I knew, I would have no other thoughts but to be speechless.

In December, Yan Xueqian took some time to take the driving test at Haidian Driving School and passed it all on the first try.

On the very day he received his driver's license, Yan Jiefang kept his word and arranged a Cherokee for him as a means of transportation.
