Time flew by, silently traversing the long river of time. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
As the winter drew near, the sound of the New Year's bell seemed to be quietly ringing in the distance.
A hint of anticipation mixed with the cold air.
Every household began to bustle with activity, preparing for the upcoming New Year.
However, in this secluded valley far from the bustling city.
Everything seemed exceptionally tranquil.
Deep within the forest, an almost inaudible sound echoed softly through the treetops!
As if dancing with the wind!
A figure leaped agilely, disappearing into the shadows of the foliage at times.
At other times, it emerged under the sunlight!
Yet, its specific form remained elusive!
Kou Zhong's figure appeared exceptionally aloof under the sunlight.
He suddenly stopped on the highest treetop in the forest, gazing at the distant scenery.
The sunlight gently bathed him, as if coating his figure with a golden glow.
After successfully cultivating the Wind Control Technique.
His mind was suddenly flooded with memories of Han Tianzun's "combining martial arts and magic"!
The world of the Tang Dynasty, as a world of high martial arts, not only had masters of internal energy and true qi.
But also, there were formidable light-footed experts who couldn't be ignored!
While Kou Zhong's Fireball Technique could instantly condense fireballs!
The speed at which he launched them using his magical power...
Was easily dodged by those skilled in light-footed techniques!
Therefore, since cultivating the Wind Control Technique.
He had been constantly trying to combine fireballs with his own light-footed skills!
He discovered that instead of launching the fireballs, he could condense them in his palm.
Treating them like close-combat weapons!
With the agility of the Wind Control Technique and the unpredictable movements of the Mist Smoke Step!
He could silently approach his enemies, and before they could react.
He could achieve a kill in an instant!
As for his cultivation.
During this time, Kou Zhong didn't rush to achieve immediate results but chose to build a solid foundation.
His Eternal Spring Skill, through countless days and nights of cultivation, finally broke through the tenth level!
His foundation in magical power became even more profound!
Kou Zhong took a deep breath, glanced at the sky, and decided it was time to return.
He lightly tapped the treetop with his foot.
And just like a bird, he silently glided down, disappearing into the depths of the forest!
Kou Zhong's figure was like a black lightning bolt, piercing the silence of the sky.
He leaped from the treetops, racing towards the Double Dragon Gang's base.
His movements were light and powerful, each leap as if seamlessly blending with the surrounding nature.
Until his figure vanished within the walls of the base.
The front yard training ground of the Double Dragon Gang was still bustling with activity!
It was still a scene of intense training!
The members of the Young Marshal Army were still diligently cultivating the Elephant Armor Skill.
They constantly used cloth hammers to pound each other's bodies!
Sweat glistened on their foreheads, reflecting the sunlight like sparkling pearls!
On the other side, the sounds of military formation training rose and fell, disciplined and orderly.
As for Fu Jun Ao, she had led a group of unruly men through various markets in recent days.
She silently planted spies in the shadows, gathering intelligence from all sides!
She tirelessly worked to strengthen the Double Dragon Gang...
Kou Zhong's gaze swept across the training ground, finally landing on Xu Zi Ling.
Xu Zi Ling was currently wearing a white robe with a sword at his waist.
He stood there like a valiant general!
His temperament was different from before, with a hint of ferocity in his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes!
Although he still looked like a dashing young master!
The sharpness in his eyes couldn't be ignored!
Under Xu Zi Ling's training, the Young Marshal Army's skills had solidified!
Their strength ranged from mid-third-rate to early first-rate!
Everyone under Kou Zhong's training regime.
Had reached a state of unquestioning obedience!
They absolutely obeyed Kou Zhong's orders!
Although the Young Marshal Army's training was handled by Xu Zi Ling.
They only had one leader in their hearts, and that was Kou Zhong!
Kou Zhong wasn't surprised by the Young Marshal Army's performance.
They had consumed the Golden Marrow Liquid to enhance their cultivation, trained in the Elephant Armor Skill.
And they were well-fed, their bodies became incredibly strong!
Their formation movements were also strictly disciplined!
They were all required to read and write, no longer the crude ruffians they once were!
This kind of life was something they couldn't have imagined in their past lives as gangsters.
Naturally, they revered Kou Zhong even more!
Kou Zhong didn't plan to show himself at this time.
He silently returned to his residence and gently closed the door.
He began to bathe and change clothes under the service of his servants...
The water was warm, and steam filled the air.
Kou Zhong closed his eyes, letting his fatigue drift away with the swirling water...
After Kou Zhong finished bathing, the steam-filled air made his physique appear even more sturdy and powerful.
His muscles were well-defined, like carefully sculpted sculptures.
His long hair cascaded down his shoulders, his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes!
Every breath he took seemed to carry an aura of formidable power!
Yun Yu Zhen, accompanied by several maids, gently walked into the bathroom.
Her stunningly pure and innocent aura instantly added a touch of softness to the room.
Her fair skin had a faint blush, like the rising sun.
When she accidentally touched Kou Zhong's skin, she couldn't help but gasp!
There was a hint of panic in her voice.
The room fell silent for a moment. Kou Zhong chuckled at Yun Yu Zhen's reaction.
Her reaction was like a startled ostrich.
He waved his hand, motioning for her to wait outside.
Yun Yu Zhen blushed, hurriedly ran out, her figure flashing past the door.
Kou Zhong looked at the shy girl's back.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the promiscuous "Red Powder Gang Leader" from the original story.
Now she was just a pure and innocent girl!
With the maids' assistance, he put on a black robe.
The robe had flowing gold thread dragons, making it appear noble and luxurious!
He wore a dark gold crown on his head, and with Kou Zhong's valiant face.
It added an air of imperial majesty!
Kou Zhong walked out, facing the twilight scenery.
He couldn't help but sigh, it had been almost a year since he came to this world.
His body was almost eighteen years old...
A mosquito-like, soft voice suddenly came from behind:
"Young Marshal..."
Kou Zhong turned around and saw Yun Yu Zhen with a look of grievance.
She seemed to have something to say, and when she saw him turn around, she stammered:
"I wasn't trying to..."
Kou Zhong chuckled and interrupted her:
"Yun Miss, don't worry about it."
Then he teased her:
"Yun Miss, perhaps you're charmed by me?"
Yun Yu Zhen nodded absentmindedly, then quickly shook her head.
She thought to herself that she was in charge of the servants in the courtyard.
But she wasn't as good as the other maids...
Kou Zhong looked at her bowed head and suddenly asked:
"Yun Miss, how is your cultivation progressing now?"
Yun Yu Zhen was taken aback, then she said shyly:
"Peak second-rate."
Since the Giant Whale Gang was merged, Chen Lao Mou and Bu Tian Zhi had their own things to attend to.
She was no longer the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and she was a little slack when it came to cultivation.
Her talent wasn't very good, and she had been struggling to make progress.
Kou Zhong nodded, then looked at Yun Yu Zhen with an ambiguous expression, saying:
"Yun Miss, would you like to reach the first-rate realm?"
His voice was calm, but it stirred Yun Yu Zhen's heart.
She looked up, a glimmer of longing in her eyes, and said to Kou Zhong:
"Of course I want to, I don't want to be buried in this courtyard!"
"I also want to contribute to the Double Dragon Gang like Elder Chen and the others!"
Kou Zhong's lips curled up into a smile, and Yun Yu Zhen couldn't help but misinterpret his words. She whispered:
"I'm willing to pay any price..."
