Chapter 41: Discussing Heroes over Drinking Wine

"It's an honor." Huangfu Ruiyao took the wine, took a sip and put it down, praising it for being a good wine, then held his chin with both hands and listened carefully.

"My real name is Zhuang Xingyu. I am 10 and a half years old this year. I come from the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan. My family martial spirit is the Pure Yang Holy Leopard. My martial spirit is the mutant Extreme Yin Yang Leopard. You can call me Xingyu."

"My ancestors are not as good as you. My clan was established only 500 years ago, and only three titles were born in our ancestors. Now there is a 3th-level Title Douluo in our family."

"Among the current prominent forces on the mainland, it ranks sixth or seventh."

Zhuang Xingyu has always recognized the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. Yu Yuanzhen's strength should not be underestimated. In the original time and space, the Spirit Hall launched a sneak attack, and the four titled ones joined forces to capture Yu Yuanzhen at the cost of one death and three injuries.

After a pause and a drink, Zhuang Xingyu continued, "The most powerful force on the continent today is the Spirit Hall. Your family must have records of this force, which is the inheritance of the Angel God."

"Now it is divided into the Worship Hall and the Pope Hall, and the two are just maintaining superficial peace. The Worship Hall is very low-key, and the lower classes of the continent don't know about it. Its controller is the 99th-level Extreme Douluo Qian Daoliu, and there are 6 Super Douluos..."

(As you all know, these contents are omitted to give you a better reading experience)

"The ruler of the Pope's Palace is Bibi Dong, who is born with full soul power and twin martial souls. Under her are the two generals, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo..."

"In addition, there is a ridiculous and bloody plot between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji..." Zhuang Xingyu did not mention Qian Renxue's undercover work, but he recounted the complicated relationship between Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji, Liu Erlong and Flanders.

[Zhuang Xingyu naturally told this little thing about the Spirit Hall. Anyway, it would take at least 10 years for the Huangfu family to send someone out next time. By that time, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan would have grown up. And the Spirit Hall wanted to unify the Douluo Continent, so the two sides would definitely be enemies.]

At that time, Zhuang Xingyu will also make this matter public, make it into a play, and pass it down from generation to generation. Let the whole continent see what kind of person the seemingly bright and noble Pope is! Let future generations evaluate Bibi Dong and see whether she is right or wrong and whether she should be punished.

Zhuang Xingyu then went on to recount in detail the basic information and [some] secrets of Sea God Island, City of Slaughter, Xingluo Empire, Tiandou Empire, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, Haotian Sect, the Lower Four Sects, Four Elements Academy...

He also emphasized that the Tiandou royal family is not as decadent as it seems, and there is a strong foundation behind it. The reason why it is not manifested now may be that the conditions for activating the foundation have not been met.

When Huangfu Ruiyao heard the information from the Haotian Sect, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. After all, it was because of Tang Hao that the people sent by the Huangfu family to look for the sacred object ten years ago were beaten to death. These were all Huangfu Ruiyao's blood relatives within three generations!

Although it may be an accidental injury, the fact is that the man was beaten to death by Tang Hao. As for whether to take revenge or not, it depends on the strength and interests of both parties!
If the Huangfu family is stronger than the Haotian Sect and the two sides have fewer common interests, then Tang Hao did it on purpose and the blood debt must be paid with blood.

If the Huangfu family is weaker than the Haotian Sect and the two sides have more common interests; or stronger than the Haotian Sect and have more common interests; or weaker than the Haotian Sect and have fewer common interests, in these three situations, Tang Hao was just careless, and what happened that year was a misunderstanding, just pretend it didn't happen. Huangfu Ruiyao weighed in his heart: "This Tang Hao has been expelled from the Haotian Sect and is alone. And according to Zhuang Xingyu, there are only 4 titles in the Haotian Sect now. If the family develops for a few more years, there is still a great hope for revenge."

Now the Haotian Sect has been closed for 10 years. In the original time and space, Tang San went to the Haotian Sect when he was about 20 years old. At that time, the 7 elders were all titles. Now the Haotian Sect has these titles.

"Just now, Xingyu, you were talking about discussing heroes over a cup of wine. Who among these people can be called a hero? Can Extreme Douluo like Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, and Tang Chen be called a hero?"

Zhuang Xingyu explained: "In my opinion, a hero is one who has great ambitions, good plans, and the ambition to contain the universe and swallow up the world. When facing enemies, we should cut the grass and kill them decisively; when facing relatives and friends, we should care for them. We should be able to protect our family and friends, and benefit the continent and the people. Our vision should not be limited to the small Douluo Continent, nor should it be limited to one clan or one city."

"I once read a story that said there was a continent where the princes fought for hegemony. The wars had never stopped for hundreds of years. Until an emperor named Ying Zheng appeared. He spent more than ten years to stop the killing, annihilated millions of enemies, destroyed the remaining princes, and unified the continent. Only then did he end hundreds of years of war and bring peace to the people of the world."

"Some people say that he is a tyrant and too murderous, but they don't think about it. If it weren't for Ying Zheng ending the chaos, how many more years of war would the princes have to fight? In the end, it was the people who suffered. This is the real hero! Not those people who talk about benevolence and morality."

"Therefore, I think Qian Daoliu is a hypocrite! He is not very smart. In the past, he had a duel with Tang Chen, but he insisted on fighting Tang Chen on land. What a fool! Others play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but he played to his weaknesses and avoided his strengths. Obviously, his martial soul, the six-winged angel, is a flying martial soul, and it follows the balanced flow, so its combat power is not its strong point. He only needs to waste time with Tang Chen and kill Tang Chen easily. You insisted on fighting Tang Chen, who follows the extreme flow, on land, using your own weaknesses to fight against others' strengths. You deserve to lose."

"This person is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, a paper tiger. Facing the murderers of his son: Bibi Dong + Tang Hao, he compromised and gave in blindly, watching the enemy grow. In summary, this person is not a hero." (There are also some comments on Qian Daoliu in Chapter 4)

As for Qian Daoliu's hypocrisy and the fact that he did not allow other priests to participate in the angel god test like Poseidon did, Zhuang Xingyu did not mention it.

Because the reason is still unclear, it may be because the Angel God has fallen and the divine power is insufficient. Of course, it is unrealistic to say that Qian Daoliu has no selfish motives at all.

"Poseidon is a well-behaved man. He relies on the divine test and has a smooth journey. He has no merits or faults. He is just a king who maintains the status quo. He is limited to love and affection, and cannot be called a hero."

"Tang Chen does have some heroic spirit, but he is far from being qualified to be called a hero. He was able to cultivate to the Ultimate Douluo without relying on the Divine Test, and he also perfected his family's original spirit skills. His achievements far surpassed Qian Daoliu and Poseidon, but after all, his potential is limited and his will is not firm, so it is difficult for him to achieve great things."

"Tang Chen didn't know how to manage the family, nor did he train a suitable heir. When he was in power, he could still use force to suppress all conflicts in the family. After he left, the Haotian Sect continued to decline, the clan leader and elders were alienated, and the conflicts were difficult to resolve, so that it ended up being closed down now."

"To sum up, Tang Chen can be considered a great hero, but he cannot be called a hero. These three people are not heroes either."
