Yun Yang's tone was unprecedentedly somber as he looked at Shi Wuchen, Luo Dajiang, and the others.
Shi Wuchen's expression remained unchanged as he said, "This is a necessary martial world experience, a baptism of life and death. Boss, in my opinion, you shouldn't have made a move. I also know that Elder Dong has most likely made a move as well … But … if you guys make a move this time, not only will the effect of this Jianghu experience be greatly reduced, it will also make these disciples develop a reliance and hope that they will be lucky. "
Yun Yang said, "If we didn't do it, how many of the ninety-nine people who went out with you could come back? Could there even be twenty? "
"Wuchen, I know what you mean. Using the cruelest method of life and death to grind out the weak and keep the strong can indeed make them mature faster. Even grow faster … but … "
Yun Yang said softly, "Wuchen, if the Residence of Nine Supremes needs to use this method to grow and become talents, then what's the point of us, a group of higher-ups, existing?"
Shi Wuchen was speechless for a moment.
"Our sect has always existed as a tool for the martial world's hegemony. I hope that the Residence of Nine Supremes is a big family."
Yun Yang said slowly, "The existence of the sect's higher-ups, other than to develop and strengthen themselves, should be more of a shelter for the sect's disciples … This is the state of a healthy sect, a state that I'd be happy to see."
"If we were to train the disciples into cold-blooded, merciless killers, your method might work. But what we need to do is to build the foundation of the Residence of Nine Supremes that will last for generations. "
Yun Yang paused for a moment before continuing, "In your opinion, which of those sects that have stood in the martial world for thousands of years, or even eternally, and are still glorious until now, do not have a sense of honor? Which of them do not protect their own, regardless of whether they are in the right or wrong? Which of them are not loyal and devoted to the sect, risking their lives to protect it? "
"At least in my opinion, only such sects can go further."
"Those organizations that only care about immediate benefits, such as the Hot Blood Alliance, the Heaven Slaughtering Gang, the Assassin Alliance, and the like … Which one of them didn't quickly get replaced by the newcomers after a few years of prosperity? Did they not perish overnight?"
Yun Yang said softly, "Wuchen, these disciples of ours … how are they any different from our children? "Can we treat our own children as coldly as we treat our tools? Can we treat them with pure rationality? For example, this time, they have already experienced the cruelty of an instant of life and death. They have also understood the true meaning of the world of martial artists that will never change, and they can even encourage each other …"
"To be able to respect Master and Martial Uncle from the bottom of their hearts, this is already enough … This is already the atmosphere in the sect that I'm happy to see!"
Yun Yang's tone was heavy as he said, "Brother, a sect, not a gang, a pope, or an alliance!"
A thoughtful look appeared in Shi Wuchen's eyes as he murmured, "It seems that my previous thoughts have greatly deviated from the founding purpose of the Residence of Nine Supremes."
"It's not that they've completely deviated from the sect's founding principle," said Yun Yang, "They're just too eager for instant success, too eager for success."
"Twenty-four lives have been sacrificed in this battle. The lessons of blood and tears are too many. Wuchen. "
Yun Yang said, "Although we don't have enough time to deal with the upcoming challenges, we can't spoil the goose that lays the golden eggs because of this. That will only be neglecting the essentials and leaving a lasting disaster."
"At the end of the day, they are only teenagers now, and they have just set foot on the path of cultivation not long ago."
Luo Dajiang and the others all had thoughtful looks on their faces as they said, "Boss is right."
"Yes, I also think that this training is a little too harsh."
"Yes, after this lesson, many of the disciples will not be able to sleep for a while."
"Shi Wuchen, why is your heart so cold and ruthless now? So eager for instant success? Have you realized it? Have you changed? "
"…"
In an instant, Shi Wuchen was besieged by everyone.
Everyone felt that what Yun Yang said was right, and they all agreed with him from the bottom of their hearts.
On the other hand, Shi Wuchen's method might be equally effective, but it was bound to be accompanied by many sacrifices. The result and the aftermath were difficult for everyone to accept.
Especially after such a training, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten had just found a new foothold and felt like they were building a family and a career. Yet, they had to witness so many separations of life and death with their own eyes.
Especially when they had watched over them with all their might, yet they could not save them in time.
Rather than saying that this training was an unforgettable experience for the disciples, it was more accurate to say that it was a more intense shock to the Demiurge-Flawed Ten themselves.
In this battle, they clearly had absolute martial strength to rely on. Among the enemies, no one was a match for them, and there were not even a few who could withstand even half a move from them. However, it was precisely because of the overwhelming number of enemies that the disciples who followed them could not avoid dying in front of their eyes!
Wasn't this feeling of wanting to be powerless and sighing helplessly deeply engraved into one's bones and heart? He would probably be jolted awake by the experience of this battle every single time he dreamt of it at night?
As for Shi Wuchen, the one who had suggested this training and insisted on it the most and planned to continue like this in the future, he naturally became the target of everyone's criticism. No one treated him kindly.
'This fellow actually thinks that there aren't enough dead people … Do you know that my heart is aching so much that I can't even pay the interest now?'
In the afternoon, the Residence of Nine Supremes held a not-so-grand but unusually formal burial ceremony.
All the disciples who had died were buried here.
Everyone, including the children who had yet to be accepted by the Residence of Nine Supremes, requested to be present.
Facing the twenty-four small graves, all the children were plunged into a silent and desolate atmosphere.
The companions who had been with each other yesterday were now lying there silently.
Yesterday, they had been cultivating and traveling together, and last night, they had been whispering to each other to cheer for today's battle. Today, however, they were already separated by life and death, walking on different paths.
"Everyone, go back and think about it. Write down your thoughts and submit them. Those who don't know how to write, find someone to do it for you. "
Yun Yang began assigning homework. "These are your own reflections on this battle. What is the martial world, what is life and death? Joining this sect means that you have stepped into the martial world. "
"Facing the moment of life and death, facing the moment of defeat, what are you thinking about? What do you plan to do in the future? "
"Seventy-five disciples, submit your reflections to your masters after writing them down. As for the other children, submit them to the stewards after writing them down. "
"This is the first lesson for all of you when you step into the martial world."
All the children's faces were unusually solemn and solemn. Their childishness was almost gone.
…
'Yun Yang's motto for the Residence of Nine Supremes may be the weakness of my books — I can't bear to lose.
Therefore, there are constraints, and sometimes, the joy of revenge cannot be aroused. 'This is my weakness, I know it very well.'
'The concept of home did not start today. 'Just like the establishment of the Feng Family.'
