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

Yan Jiefang entered the study and closed the door.

I glanced around the room. There wasn't much furniture, but it was quite spacious.

"You guys move this desk to the corner."

He pointed to the large mahogany desk placed in the middle of the room.

"OK."

The three brothers immediately gathered around the desk, lifted the over 200-pound object, and easily moved it aside.

Then, he and three others moved several official hat chairs and other items to a corner.

After all the obstructions were removed, the four of them stood in the open space in the middle of the study.

The three children didn't know what Yan Jiefang was going to do, but they knew that they just had to wait and they would get an answer soon.

"You three go stand over there against the wall, and no matter what you see, don't make a sound!"

Yan Jiefang pointed to the wall behind him.

"Okay, Dad."

The three agreed and immediately walked over and stood with their backs against the wall.

Yan Jiefang glanced at the three of them, then waved his hand, and a dark blue-gray rock carving appeared out of thin air in front of them, leaning against the wall.

On the stone carving, the God of War swoops down from the heavens, his target a blood-red primordial fireball in the mortal realm.

To Yan Jiefang, this piece of paper seemed ordinary and unremarkable.

The only thing that surprised him was that the stone carving itself emitted a faint glow of various colors, allowing people to see some light in the darkness.

Unlike Yan Jiefang, when the stone carving appeared before them, the three children immediately felt a bright light shining down on them, as if their bodies were in a vast, empty void.

At the same time, the previously fixed stone carving of the war god seemed to come alive, becoming a living person.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely in the three people's perception, and they could no longer feel the passage of time.

The internal energy that was originally static within their bodies began to automatically circulate along a new path.

As the internal energy circulated, it seemed to decrease in quantity, but the originally thin internal energy began to become more viscous.

After Yan Jiefang placed the stone carving, he was about to let the three children take a good look at it when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned his head to look behind him and immediately saw that the three children were sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, as if they were cultivating.

Could it be that they grasped something just by glancing at this seemingly ordinary stone carving?

Yan Jiefang muttered to himself.

He used his divine sense to sense the condition of the three people and immediately discovered the changes in the flow of internal energy within their bodies.

That's not the operating route of the Zixia Divine Skill at all.

Moreover, the routes of internal energy circulation within the three individuals are all different.

It's as if everyone is practicing a different kind of martial art.

He didn't know what was going on, but since it was caused by the War God's Record, it must be a good thing.

But why haven't I changed at all?

Could it be that my comprehension is insufficient to comprehend the War God's Manual?

That shouldn't be the case.

You know, when it comes to academic performance, I'm a legendary genius who got full marks in all subjects!

Yan Jiefang simply refused to believe that he lacked the necessary comprehension!

He left the study quietly with a livid face and closed the door behind him.

Back in the room, Liu Ruyan noticed that his expression was a little off and immediately asked with concern:

"Did those three boys upset you?"

Yan Jiefang snapped out of his daze and shook his head:

"No, it's just that there are some things I can't figure out yet."

The night is long, go to bed early.

"Hmm."

That night, there was a lot of noise in Yan Jiefang's room.

...

The next day, he walked into the study feeling refreshed and found the three children still meditating with their eyes closed.

Clearly, they had been practicing all night.

He noticed that something was off about the three of them.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal.

However, the amount of fat stored in their bodies has noticeably decreased.

It's probably used to replenish internal energy.

Yan Jiefang waved his hand to put away the first stone carving, then moved a chair aside and sat down to wait.

However, he didn't sit idle. He began to use his divine sense to scan the 49 stone carvings in the space, trying to find something special about them.

Furthermore, based on his decades of experience gaining access to his personal dashboard, the saying "diligence can make up for lack of talent" is not an empty phrase.

With enough effort, there is nothing in this world that he cannot do!

He firmly believed that as long as he observed more, he would definitely be able to master all the secrets recorded in the War God's Manual; it would just take a different amount of time!

From then on, he would look at these catalogs whenever he had free time.

If one month isn't enough, then two months will do.

If two months isn't enough, try a quarter; if a quarter isn't enough, try a year!

Nothing is unachievable!

While Yan Jiefang was mentally preparing himself, the three children finally came to their senses.

They all felt much lighter.

Looking at the empty walls before them, and then at their father sitting beside them with his eyes closed in rest, the three exchanged a glance. Finally, the eldest, Yan Xueqian, spoke:

"Dad, what happened to the stone carving you took out earlier?"

Yan Jiefang opened his eyes and glanced at the three of them:

"I've put the things away. You've been cultivating all night, you must be hungry. Go and eat."

The second brother, Yan Xueheng, patted his empty stomach and felt very hungry, and immediately agreed:

"Okay, Dad, can you take out the stone carving for us to practice on after we finish breakfast?"

Yan Jiefang shook his head:

"Too much of a good thing is bad. With your current strength, you simply cannot continuously cultivate such profound techniques."

Moreover, the current environment isn't very suitable.

He looked out the window at the sky and sighed inwardly.

Judging from the appearance of the three children, this world is not only unsuitable for cultivating immortality, but it is also extremely difficult to cultivate even the things in the high-level martial arts world!

I just don't know if the cultivation techniques in the War God's Manual can absorb the spiritual energy inside a mid-grade spirit stone for cultivation.

After all, they are all energy aggregates.

However, this is something that can't be tried casually. I'll wait until I've mastered the War God Manual before experimenting on it myself.

They are all his own sons, and he doesn't want his three children to suffer any unknown harm.

The energy within a mid-grade spirit stone is no joke!

Yan Xueheng became somewhat anxious upon hearing this:

"Dad, when can we start cultivating again?"

Yan Jiefang walked outside with his hands behind his back.

"Let's see in a week. Also, when you go back to school tomorrow, remember to eat something at every meal to increase your body fat percentage."

Upon hearing their father say this, the three of them immediately checked themselves and found that their body fat had indeed decreased.

After breakfast, the three children drove to the Workers' Stadium to participate in the national team's training camp.

Although their achievements are already outstanding, they still need to put on a show.

My father warned them: Don't be too unconventional and detach yourself from the masses.

After everyone in the family left, Yan Jiefang, who had been sitting in the living room, turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
