Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chen Yu waved his hand and continued to introduce with great interest: "In addition to these families, there is also the Golden Winged Dapeng Zhou family. Their martial spirits are as mighty as the Dapeng soaring in the sky; the Three-Colored Peacock Ling family. Their martial spirits are colorful and beautiful; and the Beichen Ling family,..."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaojun suddenly interrupted: "Two Ling families?"

Chen Yu nodded in confirmation: "Yes, the Beichen Ling family and the Sancai Peacock Ling family actually originated from the same lineage in ancient times, but later they separated."

"The woman who controlled the ice element that you met at Chang'an College was from the Beichen Ling family; moreover, your uncle Yunxiao also came from this family."

Chen Xiaojun showed a surprised expression: "Ah, I really didn't expect this."

Chen Yu further explained: "The Ice Element and Phoenix Cloud Fan Martial Soul inherited by the Beichen Ling family can release a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This is also the reason why their family is strong and ranked among the famous families."

He paused for a moment and added, "It's just that there are some disagreements within the family, otherwise your uncle Yunxiao would not have chosen to come to our Chen family; this is somewhat similar to the inheritance of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Breaking Mountain Hammer mentioned earlier, both of which have internal complexities."

Chen Yu changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, there is also your grandfather's family, the Haitang Ye family."

Chen Xiaojun asked in astonishment, "The Haitang Ye family? Didn't Grandpa say before that in order for a family to prosper, there must be three generations of Titled Douluo? Could it be that my grandfather's family has also reached this standard?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "That's not the case. Families with auxiliary martial spirits like the Ye family and the Ning family don't need to meet such conditions."

"However, the Ye family will occasionally have a Titled-level healer, and with their strength and influence, it is not difficult to recruit one or two Titled Douluo."

"Then, ..." (PS: There are a few families that are hard to choose, so I'll leave the ellipsis as is.)

"Okay, the famous family is finished."

Chen Yu continued to narrate gently: "As for the ten large national royal families, Barak, Silves, Haagen-Dazs..., the two empires each have five vassal states. I won't go into the details, you can check it out yourself."

"But there is one thing I must emphasize. Their royal family's martial spirits are no joke. Each of them has an eighth or ninth grade martial spirit. Their strength is not inferior to that of other top forces."

Chen Cong suddenly sneered twice, his laughter was a bit ecstatic, and Chen Yu glared at him.

Chen Xiaojun was a little puzzled after hearing this, but then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Is that so? Then aren't they extremely powerful?"

Chen Yu nodded and said calmly, "Of course. In Douluo Continent, martial arts is respected. How can you survive without strength? If you don't have real skills, how can you survive for a long time? No way."

Chen Xiaojun nodded seriously and agreed with it.

Chen Yu continued, "Okay, now let's talk about the top ten neutral organizations."

"Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Tianzhi Tower, Buren Tower, and Food Palace, you should already be familiar with these four places, right?"

"In addition, there are the Cao Gang, the Ghost Market, the Rose Hotel, the Treasure Pavilion, the Qushui Liushang, and the Jingfa Palace."

At this time, Chen Cong spoke up at the right time. He said with a serious look: "Don't underestimate these neutral organizations."

"Just like Tianzhi Tower and Buren Tower, they have been able to survive without being destroyed, which means they have enough strength and means to survive."

"The Tianzhi Building has first-rate intelligence gathering capabilities. They can get almost any information you want, so if they can use it, I can use it too."

"As for the Bu Ren Building, you have just experienced it yourself. Hehe, compared to the Xuan Ye Pavilion, they are the ones who specialize in this kind of work. But they need to be taught a lesson. It's not good to be too outrageous."

"The Spring and Autumn Pavilion is not only an authority on the continent's history, astronomy and geography, but also gathers many soul masters who have mastered the attributes of space and time. You can imagine how powerful it is."

"Qushui Liushang is a neutral organization of the academic type, focusing on literature, and it has brought together a large number of cultural spirit masters. Your second uncle has many friends there."

"And the Food Hall is a holy place for food-related soul masters, composed of countless chefs, gourmets, and critics. Their pursuit of food has reached the pinnacle. Aren't you very interested in them and often want to go and take a look?"

He paused and continued, "The Rose Hotel is the number one hotel chain on the continent, and the Treasure Pavilion is a chain store that specializes in selling all kinds of treasures. Both of them sell both black and white goods."

"Especially the Jubao Pavilion, there are many professional auction houses, and it is said that the wealth is no less than that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."

"The Ghost Market is an underground black market alliance, a good place to sell stolen goods. They can be found in all major cities. It is said that they have a close connection with evil soul masters."

"The Cao Gang is the largest gang in the world. They have forces on all the major rivers and lakes on the mainland. There are nearly a million gang members, although there are less than 10,000 spirit masters among them, and most of them are low-level spirit masters."

"The last one is the Jingfa Palace. This organization is committed to chivalry and justice. They kill criminals and evil soul masters as soon as possible. Many of them are evil soul masters and soul masters poisoned by society. It is a gathering place for miserable people."

"Their relationship with the Spirit Hall is very delicate, because many of the prisoners captured by the Jingfa Palace are from the Spirit Hall. Although the Spirit Hall has its own roving warriors, they are too numerous and the quality is mixed."

Chen Xiaojun listened with great interest, raising questions and opinions from time to time. This conversation not only gave him a clearer understanding of the distribution of power in Douluo Continent.

Chen Yu continued, "As for the first-, second-, third- and third-rate forces, the third-rate ones are needless to say, they are like numerous stars, too numerous to count."

“As for third-rate forces, although the standards for each force are different, as long as they have a Soul Sage, they can be included in this category, and their number is also quite large.”

"Of the three gangs you swept up in Chang'an City before, only the Ghost Wolf Gang could be considered third-rate, and it was only the lowest of the three."

He paused and continued to explain: "If you want to be ranked second, you need to have one Soul Fighter and three Soul Saints."

"As for first-rate forces, the standards are even more stringent. They must have three Soul Douluos or strong men with titled combat power, and they must also inherit top-level martial spirits. The Demonic Sheep Sect is one of them, and the Heavenly Wolf Sect is similar."

Chen Yu sighed softly: "The status of these forces changes frequently with the breakthrough or fall of high-level spirit masters. Compared with those top forces that stand firm, they are more dynamic."

"For example, in the sect system, people usually classify first- and second-rate sects as medium-level sects, but first-rate sects are called the best of the medium-level sects."

Chen Xiaojun asked in confusion: "Then why not call it a superior sect?"

Chen Yu smiled and responded, "It's not a bad name to call it that. In fact, some people do call it that."

"But because the world of soul masters is so cruel, it's really easy for someone to die, and the rankings of these forces change so quickly, so everyone prefers to use the title of the best of the medium-sized sects."

Chen Xiaojun laughed jokingly after hearing this and said, "Isn't this just a power elevator?"

Chen Yu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's true, so I'm too lazy to score."

Chen Xiaojun chuckled, "Then I'd better use a superior sect to avoid confusion."

(PS: This is also to fill in the blanks for myself. I didn’t distinguish the mid-level sects clearly before, and the range of their strengths was a bit large and confusing. From now on, the first-class sects will be the superior sects.)
