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

Four updates today

……

Tang Chen's eyes flickered and he pondered for a while.

Then, he asked with a hint of anticipation: "Grandpa, after absorbing the soul bone, can I still choose to practice the third Nine Yang Power?"

The corners of Tang Yue's mouth curled up slightly, obviously he still remembered the frustration that Chen Jianjun brought to Tang Chen, but he also admired Tang Chen's indomitable spirit.

It seems that this idea has been in Tang Chen's mind for a long time after the competition.

He nodded and said, "It should be possible. In history, there were ancestors who cultivated three types of Nine Yang Power, but the number was very small."

"So, it mainly depends on your physical condition. If your physical condition allows, then you can practice boldly without any worries."

Hearing this, Tang Chen said gratefully: "Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely be able to do it."

Tang Yue smiled and asked, "Which Nine Yang Power do you want to choose? Fiery Yang, Young Yang, or Old Yang?"

Tang Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "I already have True Yang Power, so I won't choose Fiery Yang Power which is also a pure attack."

"Although Chu Yang Jin can improve the toughness and endurance of the meridians, I now need to strengthen my foundation and strengthen my defense."

"So, I choose Lao Yang Jin."

He felt that the Yang attribute attack was not as good as the others, so he expanded the functionality. With the old Yang power, the foundation would be more solid.

After listening to Tang Chen's choice, Tang Yue nodded and replied, "Well, okay. Your choice is very wise."

If Chen Xiaojun was present at this moment, he would probably not be able to help but give a thumbs up.

After all, earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood.

The old yang energy representing the earth attribute is indeed more stable than the young yang energy representing the wood attribute.

Moreover, in terms of the mutual restraint of the five elements, the Nine Yang Divine Art is more effective in restraining the Shao Yang Force than the Lao Yang Force.

Although the Tang family does not seem to understand the principles of the Five Elements, their experience system is still somewhat useful.

Everyone has his own choices and paths. Since Tang Chen has made his choice, the future depends on his own efforts and luck to see whether he can achieve what he wants.

…………

Tang Yue's eyes were gentle and calm, as if he could see into Tang Chen's innermost thoughts.

He said softly, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Hearing this, Tang Chen hesitated for a moment, his lips moving slightly, as if there were some words that he found difficult to say.

He looked up at Tang Yue, then quickly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Tang Yue raised a gentle smile and said, "You want to ask, even if you can't inherit the soul bone to perform the blasting ring, training two or three people to inherit the Great Sumeru Hammer is also a good choice, right?"

Tang Chen raised his head in surprise. He stared at Tang Yue closely and said, "Grandpa...knows?"

Tang Yue nodded, his expression becoming solemn and deep: "Because our ancestors have all faced this problem before."

"But why does the Great Sumeru Hammer still have to be passed down to only one person?"

"You are grown up now, and you are our designated future clan leader. I think it's time for you to understand the reason behind this."

When Tang Chen heard this, his expression froze. He nodded and sat up straight.

Tang Yue sighed and said solemnly: "Do you know how much physical training resources we have invested in you?"

Tang Chen shook his head in confusion.

Tang Yue's voice continued to be heard.

"So far, it's at least four million gold coins."

"Therefore, the pure strength of your body is already three or four times that of Xiao. Apart from your age, the rest is money."

He paused, and continued: "It can be said that your body refining resources are the best in the world."

"Just to train you to the Soul Saint stage, it will cost at least 20 million gold coins, and this does not include future expenses."

"Training a soul master with a large Xumi hammer is simply a money-consuming and bottomless pit."

Hearing this, Tang Chen looked at Tang Yue's tall body and had a vague illusion that he seemed to be hunched over.

Then, Tang Yue added, "In our Haotian Sect, there are more than 200 direct descendants of the Tang family, and the entire sect has 2,000 people in total. Add in the affiliated spirit masters who follow us outside, and the total number can reach several thousand."

"So many people need resources and need to be supported."

"Therefore, every decision needs to be made with great caution."

(PS: The more than 4,000 people in the Chen family are all registered regular direct spirit masters, not outside subordinates!)

Tang Yue spoke slowly, with an inexplicable meaning: "Our Haotian Sect is located in the central area of ​​the empire, close to the north of the imperial capital. It has a large population and a prosperous economy. It is a prosperous place."

"However, there are also countless undercurrents hidden behind this."

"The forces are mixed and intertwined, and the various forces are intertwined, making it difficult to predict."

"Especially the Tiandou royal family and the royal branches of the earls and marquises. They hold great power and have seized a lot of benefits, which makes it difficult for us sects to even dream of them."

He sighed and continued, "We are not as proficient in business as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and cannot make a lot of wealth."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is located on the other side of the Sunset Forest, close to the coastal area. Their sphere of influence is huge, and their resources are also enviable."

"In comparison, our Haotian Sect is actually the poorest among the top three sects."

(PS: Ning Fengzhi always says that the three sects are of the same origin, but no one from Haotian Sect has ever said that.)

"The annual public account balance is less than one million gold coins, and at its best it is two million."

"But this money also needs to be used as a working capital reserve to deal with various unexpected situations and pensions."

At this point, Tang Yue's eyes became a little dim: "Why does our main lineage live in the mountains?"

"In addition to being convenient for training and enhancing combat power, another important reason is to spend less money."

"In this glamorous world, material desires run rampant and temptations are everywhere."

"We are afraid that our hard-earned money will be lost to unknown places without us noticing."

He paused, and his tone became more serious: "So, if it's you alone, it's okay, after all, it's for the inheritance of the sect."

"But even if we tighten our belts and even sell some old items, we can barely train a second person to inherit the Great Sumeru Hammer."

"So can there be a third person?"

"Take Xiao for example. He's also my grandson. Don't I want to be? What about your cousins?"

"So, Achen, you have to remember that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth!"

"The stability of the sect requires fairness and justice. We cannot destroy this balance because of a momentary impulse."

Tang Chen felt a little depressed after hearing this. He had never known these things and had never known the importance of money.

He never knew that Tang Xiao "sacrificed" for him because of money.

……

One more thing to add: the topography of the central area is like an inverted trapezoid, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Above is the Tianshan Plateau, which is thousands of miles long, and below and to the west is the Tiandou Mountains.

In the middle is the Sunset Forest of 200,000 square kilometers. To the west is Tiandou City, Haotian Sect is in the northwest, to the south is the Liuli City of the Qibao Liuli Sect, to the east is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and further east is the coast of the East China Sea.

To the north of Haotian Sect is the Tianshan Plateau, and Haotian Sect alone guards a large passage for the snowman alien race to move south.
