The entire audience was shocked.

 

In the depths of the martial arts academy, many people were standing up in astonishment, some staring in shock at the young man standing in front of them.

 

They had good reason to be shocked.

 

Not only them, even the dignified Fourth Princess was also astonished at this moment.

 

"Internal energy!"

 

She looked at the person in front of her, unable to help but open her mouth in disbelief. "Aren't you a disciple of the literary academy?"

 

"How..."

 

Standing in place, she looked up carefully.

 

The young man in front of her stood there, dressed in scholar's robes, graceful and courteous, clearly a gentleman, not at all like a martial artist.

 

However, who could have thought that this young man, in fact, had just demonstrated extraordinary strength.

 

Internal energy level, even in the martial arts academy, very few people have reached it.

 

Although the martial arts academy is known for gathering talents from all over the world, in reality, most of the students are only at the level of body forging, and even fewer have reached the level of body forging mastery.

 

Because those with higher level have long left here and gone out to seek opportunities to make achievements.

 

Under the Great Huadi official law, those who have mastered body forging will become captains in the military and hundred-man longs in the government.

 

Not to mention the internal energy level.

 

"Although I study, I have also had some interest in martial arts since I was young, so I have some experience."

 

The young man arched his hand and said with a smile.

 

Having interest, some experience in hunting.

 

Hearing this, many people present fell silent.

 

They looked at each other, seeing a sense of complexity in each other's eyes.

 

Look, is this even speaking human language?

 

Already at the level of internal energy, but only have some experience in it?

If he wholeheartedly devoted himself to the martial path, wouldn't he soar to great heights?

 

"Can you be crowned?"

 

The Fourth Princess asked.

 

And the young man's answer once again made people fall silent.

 

"I'm sixteen this year, I haven't been crowned yet."

 

The young man continued.

 

Goodness, a sixteen-year-old martial artist at the internal energy level, his talent is truly extraordinary.

 

Considering the young man's identity as a literary academy student, the value of this is even greater.

 

The assessment in the literary academy is not easy, and most of those who can enter the literary academy are well-read scholars.

 

It is extremely rare for a young man like the one in front of him to be admitted to the literary academy at such a young age, let alone have such strong martial arts skills as well.

 

Indeed, comparison is the end of satisfaction.

 

"Wait."

 

At this moment, someone finally reacted, realizing the identity of the young man in front of him. "It is said that half a year ago, someone was admitted to the National Academy at a young age and Mr. Ouyang praised his essay, could it be him?"

 

There are not many students in the National Academy, they are always the same people.

 

And even fewer of them are so young.

 

Suddenly, the faces of people around changed again.

 

"This is the son of the Duke of Chen Guo, Chen Chang'an, who entered the National Academy half a year ago."

 

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

 

The Fourth Princess was very satisfied.

 

She had to be satisfied.

 

A sixteen-year-old martial artist at the internal energy level, and a scholar with a reputation, if she was not satisfied, then others might as well hang themselves with a rope.

 

"I wonder if the princess's previous promise still counts."

 

Chen An smiled, looking at the other party, and asked softly.

 

"Of course."

 

Facing Chen An's gaze, the Fourth Princess looked at the young man in front of her and smiled, "From today on, you will be my guest, responsible for my personal protection in the future."

 

"Thank you, Your Highness."

 

Chen An bowed and respectfully said.

 

The Fourth Princess nodded in satisfaction.

 

Not to mention, just from the courtesy alone, Chen An, who came from the literary academy, could easily outperform all those martial arts academy students, showing courtesy in every move, making people feel comfortable.

 

After visiting the National Academy, the Fourth Princess quickly left, leaving the other people in the martial arts academy secretly relieved.

 

Soon, they arrived at the Princess's mansion.

 

As the most beloved daughter of the Great Huadi Emperor, the Princess's mansion was magnificent, exquisitely decorated, and particularly spacious. In the bustling capital city, it was like a small imperial palace, enjoying first-class treatment.

 

There were many servants around, each maid standing around, beautiful in appearance and graceful in figure, all selected as beautiful.

 

With the size of this princess's mansion, there were probably nearly a thousand people just among these servants.

 

Walking on the road, Chen An could feel the curious gazes around.

 

It seemed that because few foreign men entered here, these people found Chen An's arrival particularly intriguing, and many of them stared at him for a long time before blushing and lowering their heads.

 

Chen An lowered his head and followed the Fourth Princess closely, always observing etiquette behind her, without any disrespect.

 

This made the secretly observing people very satisfied, nodding secretly.

 

"Okay."

 

Walking along, until they reached a courtyard, the Fourth Princess stopped and said, "This will be your place to stay in the future. Please settle down as soon as possible and then move in."

 

"Uncle Liu."

 

A middle-aged man with a loyal and honest face walked over from the side, standing in front of the Fourth Princess, his face respectful. "Here I am."

 

"Uncle Liu is my steward. If you need anything in the future, just tell him."

 

The Fourth Princess turned to Chen An and added, "Of course, if there is an emergency, you can come directly to me."

 

"Yes."

 

Chen An bowed and then nodded.

 

The Fourth Princess then left.

 

Soon, only Chen An and Uncle Liu were left in place.

 

"If you need anything, just call me after that, young master."

 

Looking at Chen An in front of him, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "There are also many maids here. If you need anything, just ask them."

 

Chen An politely nodded, looking very courteous.

 

Uncle Liu left satisfied.

 

Now it was just Chen An alone.

 

Of course, he was not idle.

 

Walking into the courtyard in front of him, he looked around at the environment, nodding in satisfaction.

 

The courtyard was not too big, but there were many rooms, and the surroundings were quite exquisite. For Chen An, it was considered quite good.

 

He was quite satisfied.

 

"Coming to this world for almost ten years, I finally found a chance to stand out openly."

 

Standing in the courtyard, Chen An thought to himself. 

 

This matter was somewhat regrettable.

 

The so-called projection function now seems similar to reincarnation.

 

When Chen An used the projection, his soul directly left the body, and he came to this world.

 

The specific result was similar to reincarnation, starting over as a baby.

 

This was acceptable, starting over as a baby was not bad, there might be even more opportunities.

 

But the truly annoying part was that reincarnation meant starting over, but the memories might not immediately awaken.

 

For Chen An, this awakening of memories happened at the age of six.

 

Before that, his behavior was like an ordinary child, showing no difference because of the projection.

 

Counting carefully, it was almost ten years now.

 

Chen An had changed from Chen An to Chen Chang'an.

 

"In any case, after ten years, I finally found an opportunity to stand out openly."

 

Chen An thought to himself, "The Fourth Princess is the most beloved daughter of the emperor. With her as a stepping stone, I should be able to come into contact with many suitable people, even members of the royal family and even the emperor."

 

"By then, obtaining a supreme martial art may not be impossible."

 

This world also had martial arts, even more flourishing than the previous world due to the chaos in the world.

 

From nobles to common people, all were proud of practicing martial arts.

 

The Chen Guo Duke's residence, where Chen An was born, was a typical martial arts family.

 

The current Duke of Chen Guo was a formidable Qi realm cultivator, an absolute strong figure.

 

Born into such a background, logically speaking, Chen An seemed to not need to follow the Fourth Princess's path, and could directly use the resources of the Duke of Chen Guo's residence to climb up power.

 

That was what Chen An originally thought, but he eventually gave up.

 

There was no way.

 

The Chen Guo Duke's residence was large, indeed prosperous, but there were also many dark sides.

 

In his previous life, Chen An had heard many stories of aristocratic grievances, all kinds of property disputes, disputes between legitimate and illegitimate children, power struggles, it was quite exciting.

 

But unfortunately, when these things happened to oneself, they were not so pleasant.

 

However, unfortunately, when Chen An just awakened his memories, he found several frustrating facts.

 

First, he was a legitimite child, not the youngest, but not the oldest either, with several legitimate brothers above him.

 

Second, his biological mother had long passed away when he was five, supposedly from catching a cold?

 

Third, his nominal stepmother, his father's legal wife, was extremely hostile towards them, considering them a threat.

 

Fourth, he was not favored by his biological father, he was even treated indifferently.

 

Even his father was just one of the legitimate sons of the current Duke of Chen Guo and had not been firmly established as the heir.

 

When Chen An began to awaken his memories, his father was still fighting with the other legitimate sons of the Duke of Chen Guo, fighting for the qualification to be the heir.

 

Various factors piled up, leaving the newly awakened Chen An somewhat speechless.

 

Under these circumstances, this atmosphere, what talk of progress?

What! You still want to practice martial arts?

Tell me, are you eyeing the positions of your legitimate brothers?

 

The stepmother was watching closely behind the scenes.

 

In this situation, Chen An decisively gave up the idea of standing out in the residence of the Duke of Chen Guo.

 

So during the time at the Duke of Chen Guo's residence, he did not show any intention of practicing martial arts, just pretended to not like martial arts and focused on studying.

 

Until he made some achievements in his studies, got the opportunity to move out with the guise of external masters, and had his own independent space, then he found the opportunity to pick up his practice again.
