Chapter 227 (2/2)

Long Chen bitterly smiled . “Great sect leader, you’ve really overestimated me . I’m just an amateur in the Blood Condensation realm . How could my thoughts be worth your time?”

“That’s alright . Just tell me what you think . I want to hear it,” solemnly said Ling Yun-zi .

Since he wasn’t joking, Long Chen also became serious .

“Since sect leader has ordered me, I can only tell you my own random thoughts . In my eyes, the monastery’s rules can be summed up like this: you want a horse to run, but you don’t give your horse any gra.s.s to eat .

“You want to raise your disciples, but you don’t give them enough s.p.a.ce to grow . Instead, you make them play in a child-like compet.i.tion . It is truly senseless!”

Tu Fang frowned, “Without compet.i.tion, there won’t be any pressure, and without pressure, how can they quickly cultivate?” Obviously Tu Fang was dissatisfied . If there was no compet.i.tion and the resources were just split up evenly, then the disciples really would grow much slower .

“Compet.i.tion is of course a good thing . But there is a precondition: it must be a healthy compet.i.tion model .

“It’s very obvious that the monastery’s compet.i.tion is a diseased method of compet.i.tion . The original intent was actually quite good .

“To let everyone compete with each other in order to raise everyone up, using a mutual pressure to make them work harder, letting everyone have a desire to surpa.s.s their fellow and go all-out to cultivate .

“It’s just like uncle Cang Ming said . This kind of method in itself isn’t bad, but the so-called experts raised from this method are just a bunch of trash .

“They think that because their cultivation base is high, because their talent is good, because their Battle Skills are strong, that they can be unrivalled under the heavens .

“Such people will immediately find that those things they rely on are absolutely laughable in the face of a true life and death battle .

“Your opponents don’t care what your cultivation base is, they don’t care what Battle Skills you have, they don’t care what talent you possess . All they’ll care about is purely how to cut off your head .

“At such a time, the monastery’s disciples’ empty attacks and fighting style will be as weak as tofu in front of an enemy fighting with their life on the line . In the end, they will simply die by other people’s hands . ”

Tu Fang and Ling Yun-zi silent pondered over this . Long Chen had brought up the monastery’s current awkward state . But they were also helpless to change this .

It wasn’t as if they could have their disciples actually try to kill each other . Not only would that not be approved by the higher-ups, but then who would send their disciples here?

Just that final trial was enough to cause countless powers to shrink back . If they then continued letting their disciples die, then they wouldn’t have anymore disciples in the end .

“Then how can we change the current situation?” asked Ling Yun-zi .

“Set up a common enemy,” Long Chen said extremely straightforwardly .

“Oh?”

“Aren’t we mortal enemies with the Corrupt path? Then we don’t even have to set it up ourselves . Our disciples have always been just whetstones for their disciples .

“Then why can’t we make them our whetstones? With a common enemy as a goal, everyone will grow for a common goal, everyone will end up on the same page .

“It’s much better than this internal strife method . And the result of such internal struggle is that no one will trust each other, thinking allies are enemies . Even if a new mutual enemy appears, it would be difficult to make everyone truly work together,” said Long Chen .

Tu Fang nodded, “This is one method . But we don’t know when the Corrupt path’s disciples will invade us . That’s a bit troublesome . ”

“Then why can’t we just invade them?” Long Chen asked strangely .

Tu Fang and Ling Yun-zi were both shook . It had always been the Corrupt path invading them and them pa.s.sively defending . They were already used to just relying on defense .

Long Chen’s proposal had definitely moved them, but something as major as that had to be properly considered first .

“Thank you . I’ll think it over . ” Ling Yun-zi smiled to Long Chen . s.p.a.ce twisted around him and Tu Fang, and they both disappeared .

“Long Chen, here’s the Magical Beast essence blood I’ve gathered . You can take it all . ” Cang Ming directly gave Long Chen a spatial ring .

Looking into the spatial ring, Long Chen almost let out a shout . There were at least fifty large jars of Magical Beast essence blood inside .

And those were all fourth rank Magical Beast essence blood . If he used it to manufacture Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood, that would definitely let his cultivation base explosively rise .

“Other than this, I don’t have anything good to give you . But as a gift for our first meeting, I’ll forge you a new weapon,” said Cang Ming .

“Old man, didn’t you say that it was a bet? How is it a gift now?” asked Wilde curiously .

Cang Ming immediately reddened and viciously glared at him . Ugh, how did he end up becoming smart the moment he wasn’t supposed to be smart?

But Long Chen was delighted to hear Cang Ming would make a weapon for him . He was lacking a good heavy weapon at this time .

“Thank you uncle Cang Ming . Can the weapon be a bit heavier than normal?” excitedly asked Long Chen .

“Then attack me with a full strength punch,” said Cang Ming .

Long Chen didn’t stand on courtesy, knowing he wanted to estimate his physical power and punched out with his full strength .

Blocking Long Chen’s fist with a hand, Cang Ming was shocked . “You’re even stronger than I thought! This punch contained over eight hundred thousand pounds of force . Then do you want me to make a fifty thousand pound saber?”

“Can it be one hundred fifty thousand pounds? And even heavier is alright for me too . ” Long Chen couldn’t wait .
