Become a god from scratch

Chapter 166: The Introverted Tu Mo, the Funny Jack
Obviously, although Jack was the tallest person present, even his master Tieshan was much smaller than him.

But he was the most careless one among all the people present.

As we all know, the dwarves are quite simple and honest in character, but there are four other dwarves present besides Tieshan.

Even the four dwarves realized that Tieshan was not joking, but was really introducing his new apprentice to them, but Jack didn't notice it.

Lin Xuan, the person involved, did not feel the slightest bit of aversion towards Jack after hearing his words.

Because he could tell that Jack was not being sarcastic, but really thought that Master Tieshan was joking with them.

The relationship between Lin Xuan and Tieshan was not a formal master-disciple relationship, so naturally he would not care about the opinions of Tieshan's other apprentices.

What's more, the simplicity displayed by Senior Brother Jack not only did not make him feel looked down upon, but instead made him feel more approachable.

After all, who would take a simple-minded Cyclops baby seriously?
However, just because Lin Xuan doesn't mind doesn't mean Tieshan can turn a deaf ear to it.

"You bastards, does your master have so much free time to call all six of you here just to play a joke?" Tieshan said with regret.

"what?"

Jack was obviously in a brainstorm when he heard this.

It was Tieshan's first apprentice, Lin Xuan's current senior brother Tu Mo, who was the first to greet Lin Xuan with a smile:
"Hello, Seventh Junior Brother. My name is Tu Mo, and I am the first apprentice accepted by the Master. If you have any questions in the future, you can always come and ask me."

Tieshan also added: "Tu Mo is a monarch of the second heaven, and his talent in the way of earth is higher than mine, so his path is different from mine. As for his views on cultivation... he is not inferior to mine. If you don't understand something in cultivation, you can ask him for advice."

Although Tieshan said it very tactfully, Lin Xuan heard some hidden meaning in Tieshan's words.

When Tieshan, the master, said that Tumo's insights on cultivation were no less than his own, the subtext was actually that the disciple was better than the master.

But he had to save some face for himself. Even Zhao Qiankun was no exception in this regard, let alone Tieshan.

However, Tieshan's introduction also made Lin Xuan have a different impression of this seemingly honest senior brother.

The fact that even Tieshan, who is in the third level of monarchy, feels inferior to him is enough to show that the eldest senior brother Tu Mo is definitely a person who is wise but appears foolish.

Like Tieshan, he is a mountain dwarf. He looks much younger than Tieshan, but his temperament is more stable than Tieshan.

Originally, Lin Xuan thought that this senior brother was just a little introverted, but now it seems that he is reserved rather than introverted.

"Lin Xuan meets Senior Brother. I will have to trouble you for your guidance in the future." Lin Xuan immediately bowed to Tu Mo.

Tu Mo nodded and gave him a kind smile.

As Tieshan's first disciple and also a member of Tieshan's clan, Tumo definitely knows his master best.

Even if all the other people were combined, they wouldn't understand Tieshan as well as he does.

Therefore, he vaguely noticed that there was something wrong between Tieshan and Lin Xuan... He couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but he could vaguely feel that Tieshan's attitude towards Lin Xuan was different from that towards other people.

His seemingly friendly attitude is actually mixed with a hint of caution.

This kind of caution is not the kind of cautious caution, but the kind of caution that is afraid of causing displeasure to the other party.

The last time Tu Mo saw his master with this kind of attitude was when he was receiving a big shot from the central city of [Bawu Giant City]. And that big shot from the central city was a lord-level existence himself!

You must know that only those who reach the fifth level of monarch can be called the Lord!
It is said that the monarch has nine levels of heaven, each level representing the heaven and earth.

But only those who have reached the monarch level know that above the three heavens is the real heaven and earth!

This can also be seen from the power structure of [Bawu City].

Within the four regions, whether it is the neutral force like Cast Iron Building that has stood in the East District for many years, or the Loyalty Alliance that has been sitting firmly in the top seven seats in the southern region for many years, or even the Tianwu Sect that is coming with great momentum to challenge the other seven.

Among these forces, the strongest are all monarchs of the third level without exception, and none of them has a monarch of the fourth level!
Not only these few families, even the three families at the top of the seven seats in the southern region, which Tianwumen did not even have the courage to challenge, also did not have strong men at the fourth level of the monarch realm.

The trouble with them is that each family has more than one monarch in the Three Realms.

On the other hand, Tianwu Sect and Zhongyi League each have only one monarch of the third level of heaven in charge, so what they compare is nothing more than the strength of the strongest person.

If they are similar in themselves, the next step is to compare their strength.

This is the current situation of Tianwu Gate.

As a newly emerged monarch of the Third Heaven, the Lord of Tianwu Sect might not think that he is weaker than the strongest ones among the seven seats at the back of the southern region, but he is not completely sure, so he is making final preparations.

Even if their strength is only similar, he will do his best to ensure that his men can defeat the other party's men.

Of course, whether it can be successful is another matter.

You definitely need to prepare a lot.

As for why the strongest of these forces in the Four Directions area all remain at the Third Level of the Monarch, it is naturally because after reaching the Fourth Level of the Monarch, they no longer bother to hang around in the Four Directions area.

The real core of [Bawu City] has always been the central city.

These forces in the four regions are, at best, extensions of the power of the bigwigs in the central city.

There is hardly any force that can gain a foothold in the four-sided area without the support of a big shot in the central city.

Even if there is some at the beginning, it will soon be divided up.

The bigwigs in the central city don't actually care about the resources these forces can obtain, because compared to the central city, most of the resources that are fought over in the four regions can only be regarded as minor fights.

They will intervene, and what they value is nothing more than the luck that these forces can bring.

In the old land, the higher the level of life, the more one understands the mystery of destiny.

Establishing a gathering place at the risk of attracting disaster is for the sake of luck, and expanding the gathering place is also for the sake of luck.

Even establishing a royal court is also for the sake of fortune.

If you want to go higher and further, you can't do without luck. This is one of the consensuses in the old land.

It’s just that each royal court, or different professions and ethnic groups, have different ways of competing for luck.

Even the seven dominant gods who stretched their tentacles in from outside the old land, although their actions seemed to be developing faith, were still mainly for luck.

Luck itself is a mysterious thing, but in the final analysis it is closely related to living beings. Luck can only gather when there are living beings.

The gods could not easily descend on the old land, and by accumulating believers, they could also enjoy some luck in disguise. The Iron Foundry did not develop its power externally because they could accumulate a lot of luck by relying on the secondary job of casting.

This is because the greater the influence of the owner of any source device cast by the Foundry, in the Old Land, a small amount of luck will fall on the Foundry.

The owners of the source devices actually know this, but most people don't care about it.

Because unless you are the weaponsmith, it doesn't matter who you give it to.
What's more, that little bit of luck may not even account for one percent of the total luck he has obtained, which is really insignificant compared to the help brought by the source device.

Therefore, even if people know the inside story, it does not affect the vast majority of people coming to the Cast Iron Building to ask for a source device that suits them, and the supply is in short supply.

Although this kind of luck may not seem like much in the short term, after all, the luck gained from each customer is not much, but over time it accumulates and continues to grow, the number becomes considerable.

Now Tieshan has already stood at the pinnacle of the third level of monarch. It may not be long before he can step into the fourth level of monarch with the help of the luck of the Cast Iron Building!
By then, he will also go to Central City, and before that he should choose a successor to take charge of the Iron Building.

Judging from the current situation, Tu Mo is most likely the successor.

Moreover, with Tu Mo's accumulation over the years, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be able to break through to the third level of the monarch in the future.

Especially once he inherits Tieshan's position and takes charge of the Cast Iron Building, the luck of the owner of the Cast Iron Building alone will be able to help him.

The day he ascends to the throne will most likely be the day he is promoted to the third heaven.

Tieshan has never shied away from this point, and no one else is dissatisfied with Tumo.

No, to be more precise, there were some before, but they were all defeated by Tu Mo.

Whether it's mountain dwarves or weaponsmiths, most of them are straightforward.

Not convinced?

Then let’s have a fight.

Since none of them could defeat Tu Mo and were older than him, they naturally didn't have the face to fight with Tu Mo anymore.

Tu Mo himself was rather indifferent to this, because as Tieshan had said, his talent in the Dao of Earth was actually higher than Tieshan's, and the Dao of Earth was the mountain dwarfs' forte.

Therefore, even if he does not inherit the Cast Iron Building, it will not affect his promotion to the Third Heaven of Monarch. It is just a matter of being promoted earlier or later.

With his talent and his deputy job as a weaponsmith, he would never lack luck in any force.

However, as a member of the mountain dwarves, he certainly hopes that the Iron Forge will prosper, and he has no intention of abandoning his responsibilities as a mountain dwarf.

Because the existence of the cast iron building is the foundation for their clan to develop in the [Bawu City] for a long time.

……

"It seems that this Seventh Junior Brother has a very impressive background."

Looking at Lin Xuan greeting other fellow disciples one by one, Tu Mo did not show anything unusual, but secretly took note of this.

Anyone who can make his master so cautious must be someone who has the ability to decide the rise and fall of their clan.

Of course he could see that Lin Xuan was only a lower-ranking general, and had not even reached the commander level, but Lin Xuan's strength was obviously not the point.

"Seventh Junior Brother, Jack is a stupid guy. Don't bother with him. I'll help you beat him up later!"

Ligut's attitude is much more enthusiastic than Tumo's.

This second senior brother, a dragon man with dragon blood, is the closest in body shape to Lin Xuan, an original human, and looks very straightforward.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Tu Mo is indifferent to Lin Xuan, but that he is introverted and won’t express himself as directly as Ligutte.

However, almost everyone present could see that Ligutte was obviously trying to help Jack ease the situation.

But Jack himself didn't see it, and said with horror: "Second Brother, you are a monarch, and a dragon-born creature. Our ancestors have said that he may not be able to beat you. How can you bully the weak with your power!"

When Jack said this, he immediately looked at Tieshan for help, obviously wanting his master Tieshan to make the decision for him.

"..."

Tieshan covered his forehead with his hands, he couldn't bear to watch it.

Ligutte was also very upset. He was so angry at Jack that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He said angrily:

"If you keep talking nonsense I'll beat you to death right now!"

Upon hearing this, Jack was so frightened that he trembled and dared not say a word.

Lin Xuan was also a little amused by Jack, this funny guy, but because of this, he got to know his second senior brother Ligutte better.

After Ligutte introduced himself to him, Tieshan also made some additional explanations, so he knew that Ligutte was a monarch of the first level.

Just like Xie Tianlin, Gu Feng, and Gu Quan who betrayed Yiquan Gym.

The first level of monarch is also monarch level. Lin Xuan, a mere general, naturally would not look down on this cheap second senior brother.

But he really had no idea about Ligutte's specific strength.

Because judging from his previous experience in the One Boxing Gym, Xie Tianlin should be considered a veteran first-level monarch, and his strength should not be weak among the first-level monarchs.

Gu Quan used tricks to break through to the monarch level. Even if he possessed other bloodlines through some means, he might not be a match for Xie Tianlin.

But no matter who is stronger or weaker, it is obvious that neither of them is a match for Gu Feng.

Lin Xuan was curious before and didn't know who was stronger between Ligute and Gu Feng, but now he no longer has this doubt.

On the way to the Cast Iron Building, Tieshan gave Lin Xuan a brief introduction to the backgrounds of his six apprentices, including the Cyclops tribe.

So Lin Xuan knew that the ancestor Jack mentioned was undoubtedly the only monarch of the Cyclops clan, Erchongtian.

You know, although the Cyclops are jokingly called the gatekeepers, it may take a certain amount of strength to guard the door for others.

Judging from their body size, they are definitely much stronger than the average in their class, and they also have extremely destructive racial power, able to shoot a beam of 'destructive light' from their single eye!
Moreover, if their race uses the racial power of 'Destruction Death Light' at the same time, they can even gather them together to explode with even greater power!

Therefore, generally speaking, if any force wants to hire a Cyclops as guards, they will not hire only one, but at least two.

Possessing immense strength and the racial power of 'Destructive Death Ray', it's obvious that the Monarch of the Second Heaven would not be a weakling among his peers.
