Beating Apart a Pair of Lovebirds
"They even help each other out."
Ning Rongrong pinched Chen Feng's waist again, "Do you really need to help each other out?"
Chen Feng protected his kidneys from harm and didn't say anything more.
He didn't really mean anything by it; he just saw that Gu Yue Ling pouch was empty, so he wanted to lend a hand.
As a result, Ning Rongrong became jealous.
Oh, what a misunderstanding!
The Grandmaster waited until Ning Rongrong and Chen Feng finished their commotion before speaking:
"Xiao Feng, Xiao San, Xiao Wu, I have something to tell you."
Ning Rongrong looked at the Grandmaster, then at Chen Feng, and said:
"I'll head back to my dorm now. You guys continue chatting."
Everyone else had left, leaving only Grandmaster, Chen Feng Tang San, and Xiao Wu on the playground.
Looking at the three children, the Grandmaster spoke:
"Xiao Feng, do you still remember that idea you mentioned back then? The one about enhancing the combat power of Dragon Blood Spirit Master?"
"Blood Rage? Of course I remember." Chen Feng nodded.
"My father succeeded; the idea of Blood Rage has been realized, and I've learned it too," the Grandmaster said with a smile.
"Really? That's great." Chen Feng was also very happy.
When he first proposed the idea of Blood Rage," he simply thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, and he himself wasn't confident that it would succeed.
Now that the Blood Rage Technique has been successfully mastered, it means that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength will be elevated to a new level.
At least Yu Yuanzhen's combat power can become stronger, which is beneficial at the current stage.
Because the Clear Sky Sect acted like a coward, the remaining two of the Upper Three Sects had to increase their strength in order to fight against the Spirit Hall led by Bibi Dong.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan needs to play this role, and so does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so that Chen Feng has enough time to develop.
If there were no other choice, letting the Spirit Hall unify the continent would be acceptable, as long as the leader is competent.
However, Bibi Dong's skill level was clearly not up to par, or perhaps she was deliberately messing around to lead the Spirit Hall astray.
Chen Feng naturally couldn't stand idly by and watch this happen.
Unification inherently requires a large-scale bloodshed, and if Bibi Dong were to do this, then the destruction of the Spirit Hall would also be a large-scale bloodshed.
Ordinary people have already been tormented once, are they really going to be tormented twice? How many people will have to die after these two ordeals?
It's important to understand that if Bibi Dong truly destroys the Spirit Hall, then the continent will have to rebuild a new order.
That means it will take at least three attempts.
What's the point of all this back and forth?
Just like in the late Qin Dynasty of my previous life, the Qin Dynasty collapsed soon after unifying the six kingdoms, and Xiang Yu, who became the hegemon, was no good either.
It wasn't until Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu that the country was able to stabilize. By then, the country had been devastated and it took nearly a century for things to recover.
In the nearly one hundred years since then, how many losses and humiliations has the Han Dynasty suffered at the hands of the Xiongnu?
In Chen Feng's view, things should either not be done at all, or they should be done thoroughly the first time.
Even if it means losing more blood at once, it's still much better than repeated scuffles. The Three Kingdoms is a prime example of this.
The back-and-forth tug-of-war eventually led to the Five Barbarians' Uprising.
To achieve Chen Feng's goal of cleaning up the mess once and for all, the Spirit Hall cannot be allowed to dominate; the continent must be kept in a state of temporary balance.
Once he has accumulated enough strength, he will give everyone a big project.
Before that, Chen Feng needed to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hold the line and delay Bibi Dong's plans.
Looking at the Grandmaster before him, Chen Feng had many thoughts running through his mind.
He thought for a moment, then asked:
"Grandmaster, does this Blood Rage have any negative effects?"
"Yes, it mainly requires mobilizing one's own negative emotions; if used frequently, it can affect one's mental state," the Grandmaster said.
"It has an impact on mental health," Chen Feng sighed inwardly.
Although they are from different worlds, the side effects of Blood Rage are surprisingly similar.
In the world of Dragon Raja, excessive use of Blood Rage can lead to becoming a Dead Servant. So, in this world, if one uses too much Blood Rage, will they become Evil Spirit Master?
It doesn't seem impossible.
Seeing that Chen Feng's expression was not good, the Grandmaster smiled and said:
"What in this world comes without a price? Blood Rage is already quite a good skill for risking one's life."
"That's true." Chen Feng nodded, then suddenly spoke:
"Speaking of which, Grandmaster, I don't recall you mentioning the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle so often. Shouldn't he have been a Dragon Blood Spirit Master?"
The Grandmaster was taken aback at first, then fell silent.
At this moment, Xiao Wu asked curiously:
"Oh right, Grandmaster, could you tell us about the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle?"
The Grandmaster was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said:
Let's talk as we walk.
He walked towards the Small Grove outside the village, with Chen Feng and the other two following closely behind.
At this moment, the Grandmaster also began to talk about the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle, Liu Erlong, the Horn of Slaughter.
"I met her and Boss Fu when we were young, and later..."
After listening to the Grandmaster's story, Tang San and Xiao Wu were both somewhat moved.
"It might be better if they were cousins," Tang San sighed softly.
"Cousins won't work either," Chen Feng said at this moment. "This isn't a matter of cousins, but rather a matter of close relatives not being able to marry."
He then gave a brief overview of the consequences of consanguineous marriage, including infertility, miscarriage, birth defects, and various genetic diseases in offspring.
Tang San was taken aback and asked:
Is this an inevitable consequence of incestuous relationships? Why does this happen?
Chen Feng thought for a moment, then took out several sheets of White Paper from the Blood Sky Vault and poked a few small holes in White Paper with a pen.
He first overlapped the two pieces of paper and said:
"Everyone has some undesirable genetic factors, which are what cause these 'holes' (or 'holes'). If unrelated people marry, the location of these 'holes' will be different, resulting in fewer or no 'holes' after the couple's union."
Tang San looked at the paper in Chen Feng's hand and found that there were indeed no holes after the two pieces of paper were stacked together, because the hole in one piece of paper would be covered by the other piece of paper.
"But if they are close relatives, because they are related by blood, their genetic factors will also be similar. When they are intertwined, there will be holes everywhere, and their offspring will naturally have various problems."
Chen Feng then took out two more pieces of paper and showed them to the world. When they were folded together, the holes overlapped, making it look like the paper was full of holes.
Xiao Wu tilted her head and looked at the paper in Chen Feng's hand, then said:
"So, does that mean that good genetic factors might overlap after consanguineous marriage?"
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded. "So there's a very small chance of producing a genius from incestuous relationships, but even a genius might be plagued by various diseases, or simply be a deformed child."
"I see." Tang San nodded.
He had heard some rumors in his previous life, and now he knew the truth of the matter.
The Grandmaster looked at the paper in Chen Feng's hand with a wistful expression.
Seeing this, Chen Feng said:
"Grandmaster, you made the right choice to leave. This relationship shouldn't have continued."
"I know," the Grandmaster said, his voice somewhat somber.
He knew very well that his relationship with Erlong should not continue, but in the past it was because of the opinions of the world.
He himself may not be afraid of the world's gaze, but he is afraid that Erlong will suffer the world's pointing fingers and whispers.
Now that Chen Feng has explained, his relationship with Erlong has become even more flawed, because Chen Feng points out the fact that incestuous relationships will inevitably bring terrible consequences.
It's said there's an extremely small chance of a genius appearing, but can you gamble on probability like that?
What if a child is born with birth defects? Should you just strangle them?
The Grandmaster would never do such a thing, nor would he allow Erlong to suffer such a fate.
Tang San looked at the Grandmaster's sorrowful face and felt a pang of pity. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"What if we don't have children? Is it okay to just be together?"
The Grandmaster's eyes lit up immediately, but Chen Feng sighed:
"You can endure it for a while, but can you endure it forever? What will the Grandmaster do if one day Aunt Erlong wants to have a child as the fruit of her relationship with Grandmaster?"
Judging from Mu En of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, it's clear that the Grandmaster couldn't hold back later on.
Even if Mu En's strength is extremely powerful, that is already ten thousand years later.
How many tragedies have occurred in this lineage of Grandmaster over these ten thousand years? That's something no one knows.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the Grandmaster's gaze dimmed.
Just like the child said, can he endure it forever? Even if he can, what about Erlong?
Erlong is an emotional person, and the Grandmaster knows that what Chen Feng said will inevitably happen.
Will he then have to watch Erlong grieve uncontrollably because she gave birth to a deformed child, or a child who died young from illness?
No, the Grandmaster cannot allow such a thing to happen, so he cannot see Erlong again.
"It's already very good," the Grandmaster said in a low voice. "My only wish now is to help Flender run this Academy well and nurture its students into successful individuals."
"But Grandmaster, Shrek Academy has inherent weaknesses," Chen Feng sighed softly.
Seeing the Grandmaster's puzzled look, Chen Feng reminded him:
"The All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
The Grandmaster frowned. "This is indeed a problem."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Xiao Wu asked, completely confused.
The Grandmaster explained:
"The All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament requires eligibility, which can only be obtained by legitimate Academy after passing the preliminary rounds. Shrek Academy has not been registered in any country."
"Why haven't you registered?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
"Because there's a lack of the necessary infrastructure." The Grandmaster pointed to the village behind him and sighed, "Xiao Feng is right that Shrek Academy is inherently weak. Shrek Academy doesn't even have Mimicry Training Ground. Even if we start spending money to set one up now, it's too late, because the Academy's qualification review takes at least a year."
"The All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is down to its last year," Chen Feng added.
"Why don't you just not participate?" Xiao Wu said.
The Grandmaster shook his head. "If there hadn't been enough people before, it wouldn't have mattered. But now, with ten such talented individuals in your group, how could we let you miss this competition?"
"What can we do? Shrek Academy doesn't qualify for the competition." Xiao Wu shrugged.
"If you're not qualified, then find a qualified Academy. We absolutely cannot let you miss the All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament," the Grandmaster said with unwavering determination.
"Then Dean Flanders's hard work will probably be in vain. He has been looking forward to us for many years. If we abandon him, he will probably be very sad." Chen Feng sighed softly.
The Grandmaster remained silent in thought, but Chen Feng came to his side and said softly:
"Dean Flanders's ideal is to educate and nurture students; he doesn't want the Academy to be manipulated by others. However, Shrek Academy isn't qualified to participate. After thinking it over, I've come up with a solution, but..."
"Just what?"
"But Grandmaster, I'm afraid this will put you in a difficult position."
"Why would I be in a difficult position?" the Grandmaster, somewhat puzzled.
"That's how it is." Chen Feng looked at the Grandmaster and softly shared his thoughts.
"Because I had only met two of the Golden Iron Triangle before, I was curious about who the third one was, so I asked someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to help me find out. I learned that this was the former Horn of Slaughter."
"During the process of gathering information, I also happened to learn that Aunt Liu Erlong is currently in Heaven Dou City, and she has also opened a higher Academy called Blue Tyrant Academy."
As he spoke, Chen Feng observed the Grandmaster's expression.
His appearance at this moment was strikingly similar to those treacherous officials in ancient history.
"Blue Tyrant Academy. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so that's how it is." The Grandmaster exhaled softly and said:
"You mean to have Shrek Academy join Blue Tyrant Academy? Given Erlong's relationship with me and Flender, Flender shouldn't be too resistant."
"That's right." Chen Feng nodded.
The Golden Iron Triangle is missing a piece, which is ultimately not a big deal. It's better to reunite them as soon as possible so that we can create a new Shrek.
"That's indeed a good idea." The Grandmaster nodded in approval.
"But you..." Chen Feng seemed hesitant to speak.
The Grandmaster paused for a moment, then said, "I can leave, but your future cannot be affected. As a high-level Soul Master Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy must have Mimicry Training Ground, which will be very beneficial to your cultivation."
Chen Feng looked at him and asked:
"But are you planning to run away forever? It was right of you to leave back then, but running away won't solve anything."
"This is the only thing I can do; I have no other choice," the Grandmaster said, his face contorted with pain.
"What about Aunt Erlong? I heard that although she founded Blue Tyrant Academy, she rarely leaves her home and rarely gets involved. I think she must be suffering a lot," Chen Feng sighed.
The Grandmaster's face grew even more sorrowful. "But I can't continue with her. Erlong is an emotional person. Every time she sees me, her hope will be rekindled, and I can't give her that hope."
"Then you should give her a clear answer and completely cut off this hope," Chen Feng said.
