Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 312 Zhou Chun's Broad-mindedness [Please Subscribe]

With just a pair of flying swords, Su Mingfu defeated five Zhou family cultivators in a row, raising the Su family's points to twenty-six.

Until he encountered the twenty-seventh defending monk.

The defending cultivator is Zhou Xinlan, who can be said to be the strongest person of the "Xin" generation in the Zhou family.

Not only has his own cultivation reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage, but his spirit pet, the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey, has also been cultivated to this level.

When he appeared with the Crimson Flame Monkey, Su Mingfu immediately felt the pressure.

"Zhou Xinlan of the Zhou family, I am honored to learn from Fellow Daoist Su's superior skills."

On the stage, as soon as Zhou Xinlan stepped onto the field, she took the initiative to bow and greet Su Mingfu, who had just rested for a quarter of an hour.

After the two exchanged greetings, Zhou Jiarui immediately announced the start of the martial arts competition without saying a word.

As soon as Zhou Jiarui gave the order, Su Mingfu used the same trick again, directly wielding the gold and silver swords to attack Zhou Xinlan.

However, Zhou Xinlan had already watched him fight five battles and had a clear understanding of his methods, and had also come up with a countermeasure.

At that moment, seeing the golden and silver sword lights flying towards him, Zhou Xinlan immediately summoned a dark blue tortoise shield magic weapon to protect herself, and quickly cast the Five Elements Spirit Armor Technique on herself.

At the same time, the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey beside him burst forth with golden light and charged towards Su Mingfu with a roar.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Sparks flew in mid-air as two beams of golden and silver sword light slashed at the dark blue tortoise-shaped magical artifact, creating sparks and leaving sword marks on the shield.

However, the raw material for this tortoise shield magic artifact is the shell of a second-tier tortoise demon, which is inherently very hard.

Although the gold and silver swords were sharp, they could not cut through it.

Just as Su Mingfu was about to unleash more sword techniques to increase the lethality of his two flying swords, the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey had already closed in on him.

The Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey strode close to Su Mingfu and swung its large paw, its five sharp claws flashing with golden light as they struck towards Su Mingfu's head.

Faced with this close-range attack, Su Mingfu calmly channeled his magic power, and a jade pendant he wore around his neck instantly emitted a rich yellow glow, protecting him within it.

The yellow glow, which appeared soft and cloud-like, was now as hard as iron.

When the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey's claw landed on it, the golden claw light emanating from the claw immediately exploded and dissipated inch by inch, almost shattering the claw itself.

However, this seemed to have angered the giant monkey.

It retreated a few feet, then opened its mouth wide, and intense flames gathered and shone within, quickly forming a huge, crimson fireball that hurtled towards Su Mingfu.

This move was the very same killing move the new monkey king used to defeat the old monkey king during the battle between the old and new monkey kings in Zhou Family Monkey Park.

Zhou Xinlan's Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey was the first descendant of the new Monkey King. After growing into a first-tier high-grade demon beast, it also awakened and mastered this killing move.

At that moment, the blazing fireball appeared, and its powerful aura immediately made Su Mingfu sense that something was wrong.

He hurriedly activated his protective jade pendant, releasing an even richer yellow glow. At the same time, he patted his storage bag at his waist and swiftly took out a first-grade high-level magic talisman, which he then threw at the blazing fireball.

According to the rules, both the attackers and defenders can use two first-tier spell talismans in each battle.

Before this, Su Mingfu had never been forced to use magic talismans due to his own strength.

At that moment, the talisman in his hand flew out and instantly transformed into a blue-white beam of light, colliding with the incoming fireball.

Boom!

A violent explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, and a large portion of the arena was impacted by the blast.

Thanks to the powerful protective effect provided by the protective magic artifact, Su Mingfu was not directly injured in the explosion, even though he was less than ten feet away from the center of the explosion. However, the protective yellow glow on his body seemed to have weakened considerably.

Before he could even catch his breath, Zhou Xinlan's attack had already arrived.

While he was distracted by the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey, Zhou Xinlan took advantage of the weakening of the attack power of the gold and silver twin swords and launched a counterattack with her own attack weapon.

A flash of fire appeared in the sky, and a flaming throwing knife appeared in front of Su Mingfu.

The flaming throwing knife struck Su Mingfu's protective yellow aura with great force, instantly tearing it apart and nearly piercing his chest.

This startled him quite a bit, and he hurriedly took out a "Golden Armor Talisman" and slapped it on his body, putting on a defensive golden armor.

However, this approach only hastened his downfall.

When his mind is more focused on defense, his attacks are naturally not as sharp as before.

Since Zhou Xinlan had gained the upper hand, she naturally wouldn't give him another chance to unleash a sword technique to counterattack.

With a roar, the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey pounced forward again, striking Su Mingfu repeatedly with a fierce attack, putting constant pressure on him.

At the same time, Zhou Xinlan summoned a crimson treasure bottle magic artifact and fired a series of fire missiles at Su Mingfu.

Under the relentless bombardment from the master and servant, Su Mingfu was barely able to defend himself and could no longer concentrate on controlling the flying sword.

After holding out for about 15 minutes, Su Mingfu's defenses were breached by Zhou Xinlan's servant, forcing him to admit defeat.

"This lad does have quite the air of my younger days!"

From the stands, Zhou Chun watched as Zhou Xinlan and her servant relentlessly bombarded Su Mingfu in battle, and couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling a sense that someone had a worthy successor.

Wasn't this his previous fighting style?

However, compared to the Silver Lightning Python, the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey is still quite inferior, and its firepower is not fierce enough.

Seeing that his junior had already conceded defeat and left the arena, Su Yudong withdrew his gaze from the field and said to Zhou Chun, "This is the first time I've seen such an ape-like demon beast. Could it be some kind of mutated demon beast?"

"It's not exactly a mutated monster, but rather a new species of monster born from the hybridization of two different monsters. Our Zhou family named it the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey."

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and gave an explanation with a smile.

He knew that although the Su family and the Zhou family had become in-laws in fact because he and Su Yuzhen had become Daoist partners.

However, most of the cultivators from both sides were not particularly familiar with each other's families.

It's quite normal that Su Yudong didn't know the Zhou family had a demonic beast like the Crimson Flame Vajra Monkey.

After hearing Zhou Chun's explanation, Su Yu Dongfang nodded with a look of realization and said, "A hybrid demon beast? No wonder it's so powerful!"

After saying that, he sighed softly and said, "It is said that the Zhou family's skill in controlling beasts is unparalleled in the southern states. Today I have witnessed it firsthand. The Zhou family of spirit beasts truly lives up to their reputation!"

Hearing his praise, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family elders present couldn't help but smile.

It is obvious that the performance of the younger generation of the Zhou family today has successfully won over Su Yudong, a cultivator from a Golden Core family, who now acknowledges the Zhou family's reputation and strength.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Chun wanted to take the lead in organizing this joint martial arts competition.

The saying goes, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing."

The Zhou family's reputation has spread far and wide over the past few decades, easily giving people the impression that it is not worthy of its reputation.

Some other major cultivation families, though they may not say it aloud, must be wondering in their hearts whether the Zhou family is worthy of its reputation.

This time, Zhou Chun will give them a chance to witness the strength of the Zhou family firsthand.

It's not about witnessing the strength of the Zhou family's Purple Mansion stage and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but about witnessing the strength of the Zhou family's younger generation.

After all, the strength of people like Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun had already been demonstrated at the "Hundred Clans Conference," which is beyond question.

Whether these people are merely a fleeting phenomenon within the Zhou family remains unknown to outsiders.

Now they're giving outsiders another chance, a chance to get to know the Zhou family again!

Even the Su family, a family of Golden Core cultivators, failed to pass the test, which put considerable pressure on the families waiting to challenge the arena.

They had witnessed the previous battles, and the strength of the Zhou family cultivators was undeniable. Their ability to hold off the Su family was truly remarkable.

Following the Su family, the He family of Lanzhou appeared, a small family with only two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

The He family is also related to the Zhou family by marriage. Both families have had female cultivators marry into each other's families, and the relationship is quite good.

The He family also sent fifteen clansmen this time.

Unfortunately, as a small family with a history of less than three hundred years, the He family's foundation is still lacking.

After all fifteen players took to the field, they only managed to score twelve points.

Following the He family, the Sun family of Jinfeng Ridge, the Mu family of Biyun Mountain, and three other smaller families also launched their attacks.

Unfortunately, the results of these five small families were not very good either. The family that went the furthest only managed to gain fifteen points.

The eighth family to take the stage was the Wang family of Red Medicine Valley.

The Wang family of Hongyao Valley suffered heavy losses in the Southern Expedition and has not yet fully recovered.

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. After the Wang family's cultivators appeared one after another, the battle immediately became more interesting again.

In the end, the Wang family managed to score seventeen points despite only having thirteen players on the field.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun, watching from the stands, couldn't help but say to Wang Zhixiong, the patriarch of the Wang family who had led the group, "I've heard that Fellow Daoist Wang has been encouraging the Wang family members to go on adventures these past few years. It seems the Wang family has finally recovered from that blow!"

He looked at Wang Zhixiong in front of him.

Decades have passed, and the person who used to have a big belly is now completely free of excess fat, and his hair has turned gray.

It's clear that the pressure on the other party over the years must have been immense, to the point that even after so many years, their cultivation level is still stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Based on what he knew, Wang Zhixiong would probably die of old age in another ten years or so.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, Wang Zhixiong smiled wryly and bowed to him, saying, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, Fellow Daoist Zhou. I have indeed learned a lot from Fellow Daoist Zhou's strategies for managing his family over the years, and I have benefited greatly from them."

It turned out that he had witnessed the Zhou family's growing power and influence over the years, and he had developed the idea of ​​emulating them. He had specifically inquired about and studied the Zhou family's operating model and learned from it in many aspects.

As Zhou Chun just mentioned, he encouraged his clansmen to go on adventures, and he also implemented the Zhou family's birth subsidy policy in the Wang family.

These measures did indeed play a significant role in helping the Wang family recover its strength.

He felt somewhat embarrassed when Zhou Chun pointed these things out to him.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun did not bring this up to tease him. After sensing the embarrassment in his tone, he quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you are too kind. I absolutely did not mean to make fun of you. In fact, I am very happy that my idea has been recognized and promoted by you."

His heartfelt words instantly dispelled any embarrassment Wang Zhixiong felt, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are so magnanimous! I admire you!"

Their conversation, overheard by the other family patriarchs, caused some to reveal thoughtful expressions.

Then a middle-aged man with a square head and large ears bowed to Zhou Chunyi and said, "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Zhou's skill in managing a family. Since Fellow Daoist Zhou took over as patriarch, the Zhou family has improved year by year. I, Liu, would also like to learn from Fellow Daoist Zhou about the art of managing a family. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhou would be willing to teach me?"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are too kind. There is no need to teach or not teach. If you are really interested in this, I will personally lead you on a tour of the Zhou family later and explain the various clan rules and policies of my Zhou family to you."

He wasn't afraid of these people learning his household management techniques.

After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people; if you're determined, it's not hard to find out.

Techniques are static, but people are dynamic. Others don't have the resources of the Zhou family, so even if they learn these techniques, the effects won't be as immediate as those of the Zhou family.

At the very least, among all the clan leaders present, apart from a few small families with only one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators, none of the other clan leaders have the same level of influence within their own families as Zhou Chun.

Without this voice, many things simply cannot be implemented.

However, the others are unaware of these things yet. Seeing Zhou Chun's generosity, they are not only happy but also feel a sense of admiration.

Regardless of whether Zhou Chun did this to win them over, his actions are admirable in themselves.

At least many of them asked themselves honestly, if they were in Zhou Chun's shoes, they probably wouldn't have been as generous.

The square-headed, big-eared cultivator who had asked the question immediately bowed to Zhou Chun with an expression of admiration and said, "Then I, Liu, thank you in advance, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Then a bizarre scene unfolded.

On the arena, the Zhou family's defending cultivators and the attacking cultivators from various families fought fiercely, giving their all in every battle without holding back in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the patriarchs of the various families chatted and laughed in the stands, showing no signs of tension.

At most, I might feel a little regretful when a promising junior fails to challenge me.

Second update, not yet midnight!
