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

Chapter 1328: The debate between father and son, hoping that his father will become a dragon (3K)

Asking for recommendations and monthly passes

……

In the northeast corner of Chang'an City, the deep courtyard of the Ma Mansion is as quiet as an abyss.

Inside the house, a bronze animal-head incense burner slowly spewed out light ambergris smoke, curling up and down like the whisper of time.

Behind the shark silk curtain, Ma Wencai sat cross-legged, practicing with concentration like an old monk in meditation, with a faint sense of soul power flowing around his body.

Suddenly, with a "creak", the door was pushed open and his father Ma Zhibin strode in.

He was dressed in a red suit, like a burning flame, bringing the afterglow of the setting sun, adding a bit of heat to the quiet house.

"Son, you are going to participate in the Gaoying Competition tomorrow. Your father got this treasure for you."

Ma Zhibin has a loud voice, with unquestionable heroism.

As he spoke, he took out a gilded brocade box with cloud patterns from his Qiankun belt.

As the brocade box appeared, the whole room was instantly filled with light, like falling stars.

When he slowly opened it, a golden soul bone of the head was lying quietly inside, flowing with soul light like broken gold.

"This is a 56,000-year-old golden-crowned eagle skull, freshly taken from a soul beast. Its properties are a perfect match for you."

Ma Zhibin was very proud, "I snatched this skull from many soul fighters. The head soul bones are very popular!"

Ma Wencai was stunned when he heard this. He had heard about Ma Zhibin and the Soul Douluos.

These two big pieces of news spread very quickly, and now everyone in Chang'an City knows about it. His father has been out for several days again, and he asked about it yesterday.

Then he lowered his head in silence, his fingertips unconsciously sliding along the edge of the brocade box, stroking the exquisite twined branches pattern on the box.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes and sighed, as if hiding all his thoughts in that sigh.

"What's wrong, son? Take it quickly and absorb it later. With it, you will shine in the future." Ma Zhibin urged.

Ma Wencai seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts, slowly raised his head, and his face was serious.

He reached out and gently closed the brocade box, then pushed it towards Ma Zhibin.

Ma Zhibin frowned slightly, and a puzzled murmur came out of his throat: "What's wrong with you?"

Ma Wencai shook his head. The young man's gaunt silhouette cast on the blue bricks looked like the shadow of a bamboo in the wind, with a bit of loneliness and determination.

"Dad...I'm sorry, I can't accept this."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed, his fiery red sleeves hanging down like crane wings, his posture elegant and dignified.

"Dad, with my talent and martial spirit, I have reached level 15 spirit power at the age of 37. This is already a very high achievement."

"Besides, it has only been more than two months since I reached level 30. The Soul Master and Soul Sect stages are the key periods for laying the foundation, so there is really no rush to break through."

Ma Wencai had a clear gaze and analyzed logically. He fluttered his wide sleeves lightly, and his unyielding pride was revealed in his flowing words.

"Dad, to be honest, I still haven't mastered many of my skills yet."

"Whether it's the proficiency of soul skills or control techniques, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"Besides, the third level of the Phoenix True Fire Art has not yet been completed, and the soul bones of both arms have not been fully understood the day before yesterday. There is a lot of room for development."

His voice gradually became lower and lower, and the residual light that filtered through the window shone between his brows, adding a bit of calmness.

He said earnestly, "Dad, my martial soul is a mutant martial soul. There is no precedent in the world. There are many things that need to be polished. I can't rely entirely on external objects to force a breakthrough."

Ma Zhibin was slightly startled and his eyes were fixed on Ma Wencai.

On weekdays, Ma Wencai is taciturn, like a still pool of water. He always grows and cultivates step by step along the path he has planned. He rarely speaks up, let alone expresses his own opinions.

However, at this moment, Ma Wencai's clear and logical words shocked Ma Zhibin.

Then, a light of joy surged into my heart like a tide.

As for refuting him?
Given Ma Zhibin's carefree personality, would he care about these things?

He suddenly laughed out loud, looking up to the sky, and the sound echoed in the room: "Good! You have finally gotten wise today, and you have a lot of ideas in your mind!"

Ma Wencai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and slowly said: "After going through a life-and-death test with Xiaojun and the others, I will naturally think more and can more clearly perceive where the gap between us and them lies."

In the past, he was only confused about this gap, like seeing flowers in the fog.

Now that they have been in contact for a long time, this gap has become clearer, more detailed and more quantifiable in his mind.

Not to mention others, just take Zhu Wuneng for example, he was able to hone his body and soul strength by running naked for three years. His perseverance is amazing.

Chen Mu, Chen Bin, Chen Shurui and others are actually also laying the foundation.

In the eyes of outsiders, the speed at which they level up may be astonishing, but once they understand the terrifying resources behind them, they will find that this speed is not fast at all.

It can be said that they can endure loneliness and keep calm.

On the road of cultivation, they took one step at a time and made steady progress. With the resources they and their direct elders had, it would not be difficult for them to upgrade faster.

Even though they are currently at a low level, each of them can fight against opponents of higher levels, and the higher the level, the better.

Chen Mu could deal with ordinary civilian Soul Emperors with ease and without any problem.

The combined power of Chen Bin and Chen Shurui's swords is even more astonishing. They can compete with high-level Soul Emperors and even Soul Saints.

They have the basic skills, the heritage, the experience, and they also have their own soul skills, which can be called hexagonal warriors.

Moreover, they have a strong tactical understanding and can always make correct judgments and decisions quickly in battle.

Take the battle against the wolf bandits in the mountains for example. The success of the several counterattacks led by Chen Xiaojun was inseparable from the superb tactical execution and strong combat power among the members of the small team.

What is more worth mentioning is that their self-cultivation in life, their way of dealing with people, and their ability to handle affairs in their careers are all growing simultaneously.

It can be said that they are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical and physical development.

Even Gao Cuilan, who is relatively weak among this group of people, has outstanding command ability.

In the mountains, whether the team was escaping or rescuing other teams, and they encountered wolf bandits several times, Gao Cuilan's command was almost flawless, efficient and accurate.

I have to mention here that the middle school department, at least in the middle school department of Chang'an College, has long included a large number of life and social skills into the teaching scope.

Compared to the senior high school department which focuses on professional development, such as the training courses for combat and command talents, which are also interspersed with a large number of internships, the middle school department is the key stage for students to intensively learn various skills.

Just as Mu Zilian said, the academy trains future leaders who can stand on their own.

As for Ma Wencai, if you think about it carefully, apart from his desperate determination and tireless efforts, it is really difficult for him to come up with anything else that can impress people.

Since other aspects are not impressive for now, let's just try our best and work hard to the utmost.

The golden flames in his eyes flowed, just like a true phoenix reborn from Nirvana, with a burning passion: "And, Dad, compared to my breakthrough, I'm actually more looking forward to..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhibin sat down leisurely on the rosewood armchair and asked with interest, "What are you looking forward to?"

Ma Wencai paused for a moment, then slowly pushed the gilded cloud pattern brocade box forward one step, looking at Ma Zhibin: "I'm more looking forward to having a Titled Douluo father!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhibin's eyes widened, and the tea on the table was stirred by his momentum, rippling like a surging wave.

Good boy, it turns out she is waiting for him here!

This kid actually set his sights on his father.

Ma Wencai looked calm and continued, "My father and I have similar martial spirit attributes. This golden crown eagle skull is also applicable to my father."

"Dad has been at level 86 for a while. If I can refine this new soul bone, I think it will be easy for me to reach level 87."

"This skull is more useful to Dad than it is to me."

“To be honest, if Dad can successfully break through the seal, it will be much easier for him to collect inheritance-level spirit bones.”

Ma Zhibin was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud: "Haha, good boy, you can still control me, your father!"

Ma Wencai lowered his head slightly, looking apologetic: "It was just my imagination, don't blame me, Dad."

Ma Zhibin smiled and waved his hands, his eyes full of relief: "Haha, now you know how to care about your father, your father is very happy."

"However, your father has no other skills, but he is good at begging for alms everywhere. Besides, the family's resources should be plundered by me."

"Also, let me tell you something. This time, I made a lot of money by killing beasts and eliminating evil with the Chen family. It's enough for me to reach level 90."

"By the way, Dad will also give you some good resources this time. When you get the things, I will give you a helping hand."

"Of course, to break through the seal, it all depends on how smart I am and whether I can fully comprehend the mind."

"Haha, son, I heard that you made a fortune!" A hearty but somewhat teasing voice came in hurriedly along with the footsteps of Ma Tianyang, the red-haired old man.

Ma Zhibin was so shocked by the sudden shout that he cried out "Wow!", his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing! You old man, are you trying to rob me?"

Before he finished speaking, he rolled up his robe sleeves, and the gilded cloud pattern brocade box on the table was instantly put into his storage belt.

His movements were so quick that it was obvious that he was an old hand at stealing things.

On the other side, Ma Wencai quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Grandpa!"

Ma Tianyang smiled and nodded at Ma Wencai. The growth of this grandson was really beyond his expectations.

Judging from the current momentum, he would at least be able to reach the Soul Saint realm in the future. Given time, he might even be able to receive even greater surprises.

Ma Tianyang sat down on the chair with a big horse and a golden sword, and said: "You are fighting in the name of the family this time. You are lucky to have encountered such a good thing."

"What? Should we give half to the family?"

He stared at Ma Zhibin with burning eyes.

Ma Zhibin sighed inwardly, "As expected," but said without showing any weakness: "You old fool, the Chen family is recruiting Soul Douluo, it has nothing to do with whether they are from the Ma family or not."

"But, after all, I was born in the Ma family, so I naturally know how to repay my gratitude. Two million is more than enough, right?"
