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

Suddenly, deafening cheers rang out outside, surging in like a tide.

Chen Cong turned around, looked towards the source of the voice, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that your grandfather has already started the process."

Chen Xiaojun pursed his lips lightly and responded in a sonorous and powerful voice: "That's right! The Chen family has finally embarked on the true journey of sailing."

…………

The scene turns to after the war, the smoke has not yet dissipated, and the aftermath of the battlefield shakes the air.

Chief referee Zhu Yanfeng stepped forward and stood in the spotlight of the crowd. His resounding voice pierced through the clamor: "The Chen family's Beidou Tiangang formation versus the Spirit Hall's Saint Qian Daoliu, a draw!"

These words were like thunder, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the scene.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous robes and with a gentle face slowly walked up to the stage. He was the patriarch of the Chen family - Chen Yu.

His pace was neither fast nor slow, and every step seemed so calm and unhurried. Even in such an occasion, it could not disturb his inner peace.

His voice was gentle and powerful, like a spring breeze, instantly calming the excitement of everyone present: "Thank you all for coming and witnessing in your busy schedule."

"Today's youth competition is not only a friendly exchange between our Chen family and many young heroes, but also a stage for the younger generation to show themselves and pursue excellence."

When Chen Yu reached this point, he gently raised his hand and swept his eyes across the entire audience. Every teenager who was being watched felt an inexplicable encouragement.

He continued, his tone full of expectations for the future: "The Chen family has always maintained an open and inclusive attitude and is committed to cultivating more outstanding young talents."

"We believe that through continuous efforts and such a platform, the future of the soul master world will be even brighter."

At this moment, Chen Yu paused slightly, and the entire audience held their breath, waiting for his next words.

He took a deep breath and continued, "So, our Chen family plans to hold a graded challenge competition for Grand Soul Masters to Soul Kings under the age of 8 in the Chang'an City Great Soul Fighting Arena at this time every year, from August 13 to August 8, for five days, using today's challenge mode. It will be divided into single and double competitions, and there will be a more complete competition system waiting for everyone by then."

Every word he said was powerful, stirring up the passion and dreams of every young person present.

"Here, on behalf of the Chen family, I formally promise to provide no less than one million gold coins worth of prizes every year to support you."

"We, the Chen family, are young heroes. We welcome all aspiring young people to come and challenge us."

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the young people below began to boil over like a tide, with cheers and applause interweaving into one, flooding the entire venue.

They witnessed so many wonderful things in today's challenge, and many of them even took part in the competition.

Today's challenge lasted for six hours, from around 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. today. It shows how intense the situation is.

There are more than 20 to 30 people on the Tianjiao List alone. Each of these outstanding people of the younger generation has demonstrated amazing strength and style.

If there could be such competitions every year, it would undoubtedly be valuable training opportunities for them. Not only could they accumulate practical experience, but they could also continuously improve their combat power and mentality in confrontations with strong opponents.

At this moment, the senior executives of the Chang'an City Fighting Spirit Arena, headed by Ma Rulong of the Ma family, were all smiling from ear to ear, as bright as flowers blooming in spring.

Although today, there is only a competition between more than a hundred young spirit masters, its potential and influence cannot be underestimated.

Just imagine, with the Chen family being the world's number one family and the Great Soul Fighting Arena, if the scale of this event is expanded to the youth level of the entire soul master world, it will definitely be a grand event, gathering countless young masters and attracting the attention of thousands of spectators.

By then, the profits from registration fees, ticket revenue, peripheral merchandise sales, and the gambling industry, etc., will roll in like a tide, forming a mouth-watering picture of wealth.

Of course, the Chen family will naturally get a share of these huge profits.

The Chen family's decision to hold this challenge in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena was undoubtedly a wise move, as it ensured that "the benefits would remain within the family" and maximized the benefits.

However, for the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, this profit is also of extraordinary significance and is the shining pearl of their performance.

In addition to fixed salaries, they can also enjoy considerable commission income, which is undoubtedly the best reward for their hard work.

The most important thing is that this challenge can become an annual series that will ferment and continue to exist for a long time. It is conceivable that it will gradually expand in the next few years at least.

Chen Yu's voice sounded again at the right time, with a bit of solemnity and enthusiasm: "In addition, today's auction session and festival performances will also continue."

"Every August 8th, the Chen family will hold a grand comprehensive auction at the professional auction venue of the newly built Chang'an Medicinal Materials Market."

“At that time, the Chen family will bring out many rare items, such as today’s wine and purple mushrooms. We also look forward to all friends bringing rare treasures to this auction feast.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of applause from the audience, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"As for the festival performances, our Chen family will work hand in hand with Chang'an City to create a double feast of vision and hearing every year."

"Next, let us welcome the Lord of Chang'an, Ms. Xue Churan, with warm applause to reveal more surprises for everyone!"

Then, Xue Churan, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, slowly walked onto the stage, with an extraordinary grace and moving heart.

She spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, like the sound of nature, echoing in everyone's ears: "Dear guests, dear friends, Chang'an City, this famous city with a long history and brilliant culture, is not only an important economic and military city of the empire, but also the central city of the western part of the empire, a pearl in the vast ocean."

"To highlight this honor, we at Chang'an City have carefully planned an annual, seven-day Chang'an Happy Week, which will be held from August 8 to August 13 every year."

"This is a feast that integrates culture, entertainment and commerce, aiming to allow every friend to feel the unique charm of Chang'an City."

"During Chang'an Happy Week, in addition to the Soul Master Challenge and the large-scale comprehensive auction that Patriarch Chen just announced, we will also specially set August 15 as the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"August 15th is the middle of the three autumns, the mid-autumn festival of the year. When the moon is full, families reunite, hence the name Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Chang'an Happy Week will be centered around the Mid-Autumn Festival and its theme."

"On this day, we will use the fullness of the moon to symbolize family reunion and celebrate this beautiful festival together."

"To this end, we in Chang'an City will invest a huge amount of money to build a large-scale royal garden-style cultural theme park that fully displays the style of Chang'an - Chang'an Furong Garden."

(The site selection, architectural design and budgeting work for Chang'an Furong Garden started last month.)

"In Chang'an Furong Garden, we will hold a series of colorful activities, including worshiping the moon on the autumn night, admiring the moon, begging for the moon, making lanterns, playing with lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, planting trees for the Mid-Autumn Festival, dancing with fire dragons, burning towers, listening to incense, eating moon cakes, eating sweet potatoes, etc., to pray for 'family reunion' and hope for a good harvest and happiness."

"At the same time, on the night of August 15th, our Chang'an City will join forces with the Chen family to create a grand Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

“At that time, we will invite celebrities from the performing arts industry such as Xuan Ye Pavilion to present a wonderful audio-visual feast for Chang’an City and the people of the world.”

"In addition, Chang'an City will also hold a flower appreciation conference with the Chang'an Branch of the Botanical Association, inviting all friends who love and know flowers to appreciate the beauty of flowers together;"

"Jointly organize poetry, song, calligraphy and painting competitions with the Chang'an branch of Qushui Liushang, and invite Wenhua Pavilion in the imperial capital to participate in the event;"

“We will jointly host a cooking competition with the Chang’an branch of the Food Palace, so that friends can enjoy delicious food and wine and savor a gluttonous feast while appreciating the chefs’ superb cooking skills.”

“Not only that, we will also hold a pill conference with the Medical Alliance to provide a platform for communication and display for friends in the medical field.”

"For the above competitions, the Chen family will provide huge rewards for the title sponsorship, and will not disappoint everyone."

"Finally, Chang'an City sincerely invites all forces in the world to join Chang'an Happy Week, and work hand in hand with our Chang'an City and the people of Chang'an to jointly create this unique, prosperous and grand cultural celebration."

"Let us witness the prosperity and glory of Chang'an City together with laughter and joy!"

…………

There is no Mid-Autumn Festival in Douluo Continent.

Looking at the Chang'an Happy Week, its ideas and structure are undoubtedly from the hands of Chen Xiaojun, a time traveler.

Even Xue Churan's passionate and eloquent speech was written by Chen Xiaojun. Between the lines, he revealed his infinite vision and careful planning for the future of Chang'an.

The Chen family was unable to defeat Xue Churan, and Chen Xiaojun still served as the economic advisor to Chang'an Prefecture.

From the very beginning of his tenure, he devoted countless efforts to the development of Chang'an City with his keen insight and far-reaching strategic vision.

After submitting the grand blueprint for the industrialization plan of the Southern Five Counties, the first suggestion he made was the Chang'an Happy Week.

This is not just a carnival-style event, but also an excellent opportunity to fully showcase the charm of Chang'an city, enhance the city's image, and promote economic prosperity and cultural exchanges.

Once the Chang'an Happy Week is successfully held, its influence will be like a spring breeze and rain, silently enhancing the reputation of Chang'an City, attracting countless tourists and merchants, and bringing unprecedented economic benefits to the city.

At the same time, this event will undoubtedly be a shining business card and a symbol of Chang'an City's cultural status, allowing the name Chang'an to resound more loudly in every corner of the soul master world.

For Xue Churan, if the Chang'an Happy Week is successfully held, it will undoubtedly add a highlight to her political achievements and become another milestone in her political career.

This is also the Chen family's move to support Xue Churan in the political landscape, and it all costs money.

For the Chen family, this is an excellent opportunity for them to demonstrate their powerful military force, profound cultural heritage and strong economic strength to the soul master community.

From today on, the Chen family will come to the soul master world in an unprecedented manner and become the focus of world attention.

As for the gossip that would arise about the Chen family's close ties with the Tiandou official, Chen Xiaojun did not take it to heart.

In this world where the strong are respected, strength and wisdom are the basis for survival.

As he said, "Even the end of the cultivation is organized. Only by following the official's stable development and taking advantage of the situation during the development period can we survive in the long run."

...............

When Chen Xiaojun strolled out of the room and stepped into the courtyard caressed by the soft moonlight, he saw Chen Jianjun in the yard at a glance.

Chen Jianjun was leaning leisurely against the carved railing, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world had nothing to do with him.

In his hand, he gently shook a cup of colorful drink - ice and fire. The crystal ice and the warm liquid intertwined to form a moving picture, just like his complex and indescribable mood at the moment.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you? Has your soul been taken away by the moon?" Chen Xiaojun joked.

Chen Jianjun took a sip of the drink in his hand and said calmly, "Nothing, just admiring the moon."

Although the words are simple, they seem to contain thousands of words.

Chen Xiaojun looked unconvinced and laughed: "Come on, brother, although you are usually reserved, this is the first time you are so obviously reserved."
