At night, after seeing off the enthusiastic Lin Dongcheng, Zhang Tianlong found Zhang Yu alone. He wanted to have a frank talk with his eldest son.
"Zhang Yu, tell me, why are you targeting your nephew? Xiao Shen'er is far from being a threat to your position." Zhang Tianlong looked at Zhang Yu seriously.
The family never prohibits competition, but when they see younger generations who are better than themselves rising rapidly, they immediately start to suppress them. What future does such a family have
In competition, both sides must grow before they can compete to see who is the winner!
This is the family's way of survival, especially in a place as competitive as the Endless Wilds.
The other elders were dissatisfied with Zhang Shen for occupying too many resources without achieving any results, but Zhang Tianlong could see that Zhang Yu did not speak for this reason that day.
After a while, Zhang Yu spoke up, "Nephew Shen is not a threat now, but he will be a threat soon."
Having decided to speak, Zhang Yu no longer hid anything and revealed everything that was in his mind.
"If he is just better than me, I will be happy about it. He is my nephew, so I naturally wish him the best."
"But he's so good, so good that I have a feeling he will snatch away the resources that belong to me for advancement to the innate realm!"
Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Tianlong with a firm gaze.
"The number of innates a family can possess at the same time is limited. The family's resources are only enough to supply a certain number of innates."
"In the past ten years, the family's strength has only been enough to spare one resource for a breakthrough."
"Originally, this spot belonged to me."
"But Zhang Shen was so fast that I realized that if I didn't do anything, he would definitely take the spot away from me."
Zhang Yu's eyes gradually became sinister, "I am already fifty years old. In ten years, I am confident that I can cultivate from the eighth level of the acquired realm to the peak of the ninth level of the acquired realm, but I don't have the confidence to wait until the next ten years."
Zhang Tianlong was silent. He understood his son.
Here in the endless wilderness, if you show extraordinary talent from a young age, you can be protected, have a relatively stable environment to grow up in, and have enough time to become stronger.
But after reaching the seventh or eighth level of acquired cultivation, if there is the potential to break through the innate level, the family will pay more attention to it and the security will be higher.
Everyone else has to run around for the family. To protect the family, they have to fight monsters all day long. They have almost no time to stop and rest. The mortality rate is extremely high. To be precise, they are cannon fodder to ensure the survival of the family!
It is the innate seed like Zhang Yu,
He also has to go and fight with the monsters, but he can have more time to rest and recuperate. After completing a task, he can have more time to make himself stronger.
In ten years, Zhang Yu might die in a mission, let alone twenty years
Although it is difficult for the innate to have a good end in the endless wilderness, Hongyuan City is only on the edge, and the survival rate of the innate is much higher than that of the acquired.
It concerns martial arts, it concerns innateness, it concerns life, there is nothing that cannot be understood.
Zhang Tianlong, who had been watching Zhang Shen grow up, believed more than Zhang Yu that the next innate resource of the family would definitely fall on Zhang Shen. Zhang Tianlong was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"If you think so, why did you just hinder it and do nothing else?"
It was Zhang Yu's turn to remain silent, and a complex look flashed across his stern and sinister eyes.
"He is my nephew after all."
With a sigh, Zhang Yu said, "Even if I have an idea in my mind, I won't put it into practice."
"I can't just sit there and wait for death."
Zhang Tianlong understood, "So you are testing Zhang Shen?"
"That's right." Zhang Yu replied.
"I want to see if he is a fool who only cares about improving his cultivation. No matter how good he is, I will compete with him."
Zhang Yu paused for a moment, his tangled look faded away, and he said, "But he is better than I thought."
"Father, don't worry, I won't do anything to my nephew Shen."
The two chatted for a while and resolved the conflicts that had arisen during this period.
Looking at Zhang Yu's desolate back as he left, Zhang Tianlong also felt complicated.
"Come out."
Zhang Xun and his son Zhang Shen walked out from behind the study.
In this conversation, Zhang Tianlong not only wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with his eldest son, but also wanted Zhang Xun and his son to understand Zhang Yu's thoughts.
No matter if there is some affair inside or they are completely at odds with each other.
"Shen'er, do you hate what your uncle did?" Zhang Tianlong asked.
Zhang Shen shook his head. Being in a different place, he might not just be unwilling but also give it a test.
"Grandfather, let me start getting involved in family affairs in half a month."
Zhang Shen wanted to practice in peace, but since he had consumed so many family resources, he would not shirk his responsibilities.
A hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Tianlong's eyes.
"Are you sure? Once you start your training time
will be greatly reduced.”
Zhang Shen affirmed, "Yes, I need to accumulate practical experience."
In this competition, Zhang Shen won overwhelmingly, but he also discovered his own shortcomings.
He lacks practical experience, and his actions are not accurate, decisive, or ruthless enough.
The sense of proportion is not well grasped.
Returning to his residence, Zhang Shen opened the panel.
The strongest physical system
Host: Zhang Shen
Physical level: Acquired eighth level
Progress: 99%
Cultivation: Postnatal fifth level
Progress: 99.5%
Progress of martial arts: Bright Moon Kung (fifth level completed), Ten Power Fist progress: 75%, Cold Moon Blade progress: 63%, Following the Clouds step progress: 80%.
Evaluation: Your physical body has reached the peak of the eighth level of the acquired realm. Ordinary warriors of the eighth level of the acquired realm are vulnerable in front of you. If they get close to you, you can make them vomit blood within ten punches.
This luxurious panel data is the result of Zhang Shen’s five years of hard work.
"I have already cultivated the Mingyue Gong to perfection at the fifth level, but my cultivation is still at the fifth level of the acquired realm, so I cannot cultivate the sixth level."
"This competition has touched my heart. A breakthrough is just around the corner!"
This is why Zhang Shen needed half a month.
Without wasting any time, Zhang Shen still lit a stick of incense to calm his mind.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the training room and circulated his internal energy to break through.
Under his control, the surging internal force continued to impact the sixth-level barrier.
The barrier stood still and did not budge under the impact.
But Zhang Shen was not in a hurry. He controlled his internal energy to hit and attack the barrier again and again.
At dawn, the thick barrier shattered.
Zhang Shen entered a whole new realm.
At this time, the data on the panel changes again.
The strongest physical system
Host: Zhang Shen
Physical level: Acquired ninth level
Progress: 3%
Cultivation: Acquired Sixth Level
Progress: 0.5%
Progress of martial arts: Initial stage of the sixth level of Mingyue Gong: 0%, progress of Ten-Power Fist: 75%, progress of Cold Moon Blade: 63%, progress of Following the Clouds Step: 80%.
Comment: You little weakling in the ninth level of the acquired realm, remember not to be too arrogant, or you will get beaten.
