The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1090: The Fourth of the Four Swords, the Return of the Electric Sword

There is no order of learning, the master is the teacher.

This statement is very applicable now.

Therefore, after thinking over and over again for three or four hours, when the sun was already setting below the horizon but had not yet completely set, Shi Tang mustered up the courage to tell his father Shi Wu his thoughts: "Dad, I want to be like Wu Ji, follow him and learn something... Although I don't know what I should learn, and I haven't thought about it, but I just have this unreasonable idea... I wonder what you think, Dad?"

Hearing my son's question.

Shiwu put aside the matters at hand for the time being.

Lin Chaoci has always been a hands-off boss.

When he was in Douluo, Zhu Zhuyun, Juzi, Ning Rongrong and others took care of trivial matters for him, each responsible for one aspect; after arriving in Zongwu, whether it was Xue Baochai, Huang Rong, or even Zi Nu and others, they all had the ability to govern one side, and it was easy for them to just guard their original piece of land; therefore, in line with the principle of specialization, Lin Chaoci still left the trivial matters of evacuation to Shiwu.

I have management skills, but I'm just lazy!

Hey, I don’t care, I just want to play!

Besides, I have defeated Huandu Qingtian and Nanguo with my own strength. If they still need my management, then what is your role?

Are you trying to take credit for my work?
play?

Fortunately, Shiwu also understood this truth, and even burst into tears of gratitude. He thanked Lin Chaoci in his heart for being willing to take him and the Shi family out to play. Therefore, with the blessing of the sense of honor of the Southern Kingdom's complete defeat, he worked very hard and unknowingly has been working until now.

It's probably like being given an injection of chicken blood.

However, he could still hear what his son said.

However, my son’s request is indeed a bit difficult to meet.

"The Wen family is a first-rate family, and the head of the family is a great cultivator at the seventh level of foundation building."

"The Ji family is a first-rate family, and the head of the family is a great cultivator at the sixth level of foundation building."

"The Yang family... there's no need to talk about this. You should know the relationship between the Yang family and the Wang Quan family, not to mention that Yang Yifang is also at the sixth level of foundation building."

"Before building the foundation, there are two thresholds."

"The first threshold is the fourth level of Qi training, and the second threshold is the seventh level of Qi training."

"As long as you pass the fourth level of Qi training, you can reach the sixth level even if you spend time grinding. Similarly, as long as you pass the seventh level of Qi training, you can reach the ninth level even if you spend decades grinding. Although there are bottlenecks in the middle, it is nothing to worry about. In ancient terminology, this is called the early, middle and late stages."

“But, once you enter the foundation-building stage, there is a threshold for each stage.”

"Many people are stuck at the first level of foundation building."

"In my father's life, I don't know if I can reach the threshold of the fifth level of foundation building before I die. In the past two years, I was lucky enough to reach the fourth level of foundation building. It was a blessing in disguise. I probably don't have any chance now."

"Tang'er, do you understand what your father means?"

Seeing Shitang's gradually dimming eyes, Shiwu felt a little reluctant.

But some things cannot be left to chance.

The tone is serious and the attitude is solemn.

To clarify the potential competitors for Shi Tang: "There is indeed one more sword in the hands of the Lord of Heaven. Wen Bolin controls thunder, Ji Wuji controls wind, and the daughter of the Yang family named Xiao Tan controls rain. The last sword, the lightning sword, has not yet been born. However, this sword is probably reserved for the Li family. Even if it is not the Li family, it must be the Zhang family, the Mu family, the Deng family, the Qingmu family, etc., first-class families with good relations with the Wang Quan family, because the Wang Quan Four Swords have always been the team of the head of the Wang Quan family. In other words, you have to perform better than others to have a certain probability of being granted the qualification to wield the last sword by the Lord of Heaven... Are you really sure of this?"

In fact, Shiwu had one more thing to say.

It’s not that I’m afraid of hurting Shitang.

Rather, this unspoken sentence seems to be an indirect satire on the Shi family: For a person like Lin Chaoci, whether he accepts you or not is not entirely based on talent. Anyway, your talent is not as high as his. Moreover, even if your talent is stronger than the person he wants to choose, after you master the electric sword and learn various spells from him, can you still deal with the opponents he cannot defeat?
Therefore, it is far better to choose a sword holder who has been friends for generations than to choose a descendant of a second-rate family like us who has a not-so-close relationship with us.

Yiqidaomeng is, after all, a society based on human relationships.

What confidence do you have to convince Lin Chaoci? However, Shi Tang definitely didn't know the overly dark second half of the sentence and the overly dark second half of his thoughts, not only because Shi Wu didn't say it, but also because the first half of the sentence was enough to make him helpless. He really couldn't find his own advantages.

There are many geniuses in Yiqidaomeng this generation.

Is Ji Wuji strong?

Six-year-old has reached the fifth level of Qi training.

Compared with him, an eight-year-old who was at the third level of Qi training, they were like a dragon and an ant.

Ji Wuji is a dragon and he is an ant.

It is conceivable what level of cultivation Ji Wuji would have when he was eight years old.

And there are more than ten people as strong as Ji Wuji in this generation!

Among them, there are even quite a few who are slightly stronger than Ji Wuji. At a young age, they have already been designated as the young masters of their respective families!

For example, Qing Muyuan, who has reached the fourth level of Qi training before she is six years old.

For example, Zhang Zheng, who is under seven years old but has also reached the fourth level of Qi training.

There is also Deng Qiyue, who is at the fourth level of Qi training and occupies the top position.

There are also two hangers-on from the Li family and the Wang Quan family. Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai are both at the fourth level of Qi training. Li Muchen is a little weaker, but he has also reached the third level of Qi training. Wang Quanzui seldom shows up, so there is not much news about him. However, let’s not talk about Lin Chaoci, the hanger-on, and just talk about Wang Quan Baiye. He is at the sixth level of Qi training at the age of six. This talent can even put him a little behind Ji Wuji. Even if talent is worthless in the eyes of the great powers, this almost overflowing talent still makes his peers feel despair when they hear it.

The Shi family is in the second line.

He is well-informed.

Therefore, don’t blame Shiwu for not being optimistic about Shitang.

Even Shitang himself was not optimistic about himself.

However, Shi Tang also has his own persistence: "Everything depends on human efforts. I have always believed in this... Dad, please let me try, even if I know that the hope is slim, even if I know that I will not be favored, even if I know that if I persist, I will face failure and despair. But, I think I should not lose the courage to draw the sword!"

"Then go try it."

Shiwu sighed, his tone complicated.

I feel both relieved and reluctant.

However, when Shitang made this choice, he was already qualified.

The long sword flashed away.

Leaping up from a hilltop a hundred miles away.

It cuts across the sky, piercing through the clouds.

Before Shiwu and Shitang could react, it fell on top of Shitang's head.

A slight tremor caused waves of sword sounds.

"This is?"

Shi Tang looked at the sword stupidly.

I have some guesses, but I'm not sure.

It was not until the sword fell into his hands and Lin Chaoci's voice transmission fell into his ears across a hundred miles that he suddenly understood, his face flushed with excitement: "Talent is not important, will is very important. I once heard a very famous general say that as a swordsman, even if you know you can't win, you must show your sword. As the saying goes, when two meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Your courage qualifies you to wield this sword. However, I hope that one day, you will not rely on this sword to become famous, but let this sword rely on you to become famous, just like the ancestor of the Zhang family. Whenever people mention him, they must first mention his name, then the person, then the sword, and finally his origin."
