Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

To be precise, it's not his father's turn yet.

In the present day, his grandfather was a general guarding the nation's borders; the next generation is his father; and the generation after that is himself.

Their family seemed to disregard matters of the heart and never value them.

He kept in mind the teachings of his ancestors. A hundred years ago, he diligently studied and cultivated, but a hundred years later, forced by the need to continue the family line, he hastily sought out a woman who was also at the pinnacle of martial arts for dual cultivation.

Continue the fine tradition.

Sometimes, amidst Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue's innocent and inexplicable sighs about the rampant reproduction of demonic beasts, he also thought that, in reality, humans and demonic beasts are not much different.

To reproduce for the sake of reproduction...

Really boring.

At his age, he was exhausted from cultivating every day. His father's task for him was to kill at least twenty monsters of the same level as himself in the secret realm with his bare hands.

Not everyone is like Zhang Chaoqiang, who can kill monsters as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables – a true ninja.

As a genius, simultaneously fighting twenty demonic beasts of the same level already places him at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Central Kingdom.

He was often covered in bruises, but the key issue was his father. When he saw that there wasn't a single patch of good skin or flesh on his body, he wouldn't even take the initiative to show concern.

They would only think and question what Lao Chen had learned and gained in the life-and-death struggle, and whether the training volume should be doubled tomorrow, etc., but they never offered Lao Chen a single word of praise.

Although Old Chen didn't need praise, nor did he ever expect it.

Days passed like this.

This is quite normal. In the process of fighting in the monster realm, the monsters are the same. After they have reproduced and been fed a few times, they become like strangers to each other.

Whether you live or die depends on your own abilities.

The only common ground they might have is their struggle for the throne within their respective tribes. There are no fathers or children; at this moment, there are only rivals, irreconcilable enemies.

This is a very normal phenomenon. At least their family is much better off. They never lack resources or money for cultivation.

The same was true when she met Tan Yue's mother later. Tan Yue and her so-called biological father did not have much interaction; indifference and unfamiliarity were the norm.

The hierarchy among the strong seems to be not only a class division based on different strengths, but also within families.

Up to this point, Old Chen still hadn't noticed anything amiss.

until…

Until I met Zhang Chaoqiang and his family.

At the kindergarten, Tan Yue often told Lao Chen the story of Zhang Chaoqiang's family.

"What? There's someone else here? Is this the atmosphere at home?"

Old Chen, who had devoted himself to cultivation for the past hundred years, did not look bald at this moment, but rather like an ancient person with a long braid tied at the back of his head.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong would never have imagined that they could bring warmth to others.

It brought warmth to Tan Yue and Lao Chen.

Through their constant interactions, Lao Chen realized that Zhang Chaoqiang's talent was secondary; the most amazing thing was the atmosphere and affection within their family.

You don't know until you compare them. Once you do, you realize that a little girl under ten years old and a man over a hundred years old are both people who are starved of love and seeking warmth from Zhang Chaoqiang's family.

This feeling naturally became the norm.

Old Chen, who was always laughing and joking and hanging out with them, wasn't with Zhang Chaoqiang because of his talent or anything like that.

Rather, it's their families that bring them warmth, so it's more about making up for what they lack.

What he lacks is what others have given him. Over the past few years, Old Chen's mindset has improved a lot.

The original shackles of hierarchy seem to be showing slight signs of breaking.

In the first hundred years, he had already fulfilled the tasks set forth in his ancestral teachings. After that, he focused on finding the feelings that life brought him.

With two soft pattering sounds, he walked lightly along the slightly damp bank, his elegant posture representing the walking etiquette of British nobility.

It attracted the attention of a large number of middle-aged women.

Having grown accustomed to seeing Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei showing off their affection, and with Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue also showing some damned signs of developing in that direction recently.

This has made Old Chen, who has been a virgin for so many years, restless and eager to make a move.

Perhaps it's due to his age and mindset, but he doesn't seem to particularly like young people.

What he needs is a lover of the same age, with the same personality and interests, and the same values.

He wanted to experience what love was like.

Of course, that's a story for later. First, he needs to test whether he still possesses the charm to attract the opposite sex...

These are far better than what you can get with money or influence; it's through your own charm that you can make the other person more attracted to you.

With his outstanding physique, even the way Old Chen walks exudes elegance.

Furthermore, in the castle hotel, the swimming pools for ordinary people and martial artists are separate, and he was currently in the mixed-gender pool for martial artists.

With just one step, he attracted the attention of many women of the opposite sex. Although the older women looked quite old, their features and faces were incredibly delicate.

Most of the older women's strength hovered between the third and sixth levels, and even those who specialized in the spiritual level were all below the seventh level.

As for age, no one present could match Old Chen's age.

Before long, Old Chen's unique physique attracted several women to come over.

"The moon is beautiful tonight, just like your eyes. I am Chen Xiucai!"

"what……"

"How outdated..."

Holy crap! Don't run away!

What the heck? Old Chen was utterly astonished... When he parroted the romantic words Zhang Huolong had said to Shen Qiangwei, why didn't they work when he said them out of his own mouth?

The moment someone showed him any goodwill, it vanished completely, disappearing in an instant, while his sisters secretly covered their mouths and giggled...

Old Chen was furious, and for a fleeting moment even considered flipping the swimming pool over.

Squeak, squeak, squeak. Looking down, even the strong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and their toes started scratching at the ground.

Her initial attempt to strike up a conversation was immediately thwarted by him, and she sheepishly scurried back to her hotel room.

"What happened?"

"Even Zhang Huolong's methods, which are supposed to be super strong, aren't working?"

Old Chen scratched his head and thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out. There was nothing he could do. He had almost no experience in communicating with the opposite sex, and the information online was unreliable. Therefore, he could only learn from Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue, and Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei.

Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang are out of the question; they're just kids.

Therefore, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong became his main learning targets, and when they were together, Lao Chen would usually secretly keep an eye on the two of them.

In order to accumulate experience in this area.

To be honest, he had already gone all out today, having done his homework and made thorough preparations beforehand. He never expected that a single sentence would bring him back to his introverted self.

His accumulated awareness over the years told him that he should seek benefits and experience from a particular experience. At least this time, he proved that his physical condition and temperament were not bad, but he was slightly weak in communication.

Meanwhile, the other four people didn't have the same worries as Lao Chen.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue were spotted in the library of the castle hotel.

They took a few books from the bookshelf and quietly went to the private lounge to read.

It's a completely enclosed environment, and the lounge allows people to talk inside.

Zhang Chaoqiang had the local chronicles of Zhongzhou City, while Tan Yue had mostly romance novels.

Zhang Chaoqiang noticed that recently, the other party seemed to have become obsessed with this type of romance novel, which was filled with dozens of kilograms of saccharin. It was no longer sweet, but rather awkwardly cloying.

They even seemed to enjoy it.

When invited to read the local chronicles of Zhongzhou City, Tan Yue refused, choosing to remain engrossed in the world of novels.

"Zhongzhou Di'anmen has a history of two thousand years. It was built at the beginning of the founding of the country and served as the northern border of the Central Kingdom at that time."

Back then, the monsters occupied a large area, and this place once became a battleground between the Central Kingdom and the monsters, intercepting many of the monsters' advances.

It was this city gate that separated the threat of the monsters, giving the people of the Central Kingdom a chance to breathe and develop. Subsequently, with the development of the people, strong people emerged one after another, constantly driving away the monsters, and the territory of the Central Kingdom expanded.

Therefore, it was named Di'anmen.

Some historical anecdotes can only be clearly understood by consulting local chronicles; the information on Baidu on the internet is not comprehensive. After doing your homework on the places you'll be visiting tomorrow...

Zhang Chaoqiang then pulled Tan Yue, who was still eager to continue the conversation, away from the library.

Before leaving, Tan Yue wanted to borrow a few more books to feel satisfied.

During the period when Zhang Chaoqiang's family was traveling.

The people of Baicheng District finally cheered as they saw off this deity.

However, without Zhang Chaoqiang's visit, they felt that something was missing from their after-dinner entertainment.

The Bao Family Martial Arts School has now reopened. The return of the martial arts instructors has restored their status among martial artists in Baicheng District, making it the largest martial arts school in the district now.

Previously, the martial arts school that ran the betting operation had blocked the news about Zhang Chaoqiang, but seeing that they couldn't make any money off him, they stopped blocking the news.

Upon learning of this, Bao Long concluded that the person must be Zhang Chaoqiang.

The Bao Family Martial Arts School has temporarily resolved its predicament, and all of this is thanks to Zhang Chaoqiang.

Thinking about finding Bao Long, they didn't know where to start.

Because Zhang Chaoqiang is no longer in Tianan City.

After making inquiries, it seems that Zhang Chaoqiang has a particular fondness for martial arts.

He immediately ordered his martial arts school to keep a close eye on news from martial arts arenas around Baicheng District, and to find out Zhang Chaoqiang's whereabouts as soon as possible if Zhang Chaoqiang came again.

Then, based on Zhang Chaoqiang's preferences, they arranged many opponents for him, just waiting for his arrival.

Previously, Zhang Chaoqiang was unaware that Bao Long's family's martial arts school had recovered so quickly, and in fact, he was not fully aware of the subsequent support the management office provided to the Bao family.

Alternatively, you could directly seek Bao Long's help, which would definitely allow you to quickly achieve your growth goals.

Zhongzhou City, Castle Hotel.

The next morning at nine o'clock, Old Chen, who had been thinking about it all night but couldn't figure it out, looked noticeably haggard.
