Chapter 983 - 51: Wang Family Dominates Longzhou! Sparring with the Great Emperor

...After that, Wang Shouzhe fed it consecutively twice more, each time with over a thousand jin of various Spirit Fish.

Once it had eaten all of this, the young Kun finally seemed somewhat full. It lowered its head, nuzzled Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan affectionately with its forehead, and then began to frolic in Zhuwei Lake.

Over the years, the Wang Family has continuously dredged and deepened Zhuwei Lake to increase its water storage capacity. This not only facilitates freshwater aquaculture and farmland irrigation but also enhances Ping’an Town’s flood storage capability during the rainy season.

Over decades, Zhuwei Lake has long since ceased to be the shallow lake it once was, with a thin water layer. The deepest part at the center now reaches thirty zhang, making it a large reservoir. The lake is rich with fish, some weighing over a hundred jin, and even several hundred jin.

However, even so, the three zhang long young Kun in Zhuwei Lake could still be considered a colossal creature. Wherever it went, it left waves and ripples in its wake, causing schools of fish to flee in a panic.

However, the fleeing fish only stimulated the young Kun’s predatory instinct.

With a roar at the fish schools, it stunned and killed them, then swallowed them like a whale, expelling water through its gills and leaving the delicious fresh fish in its mouth.

"This devouring ability..." Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan hovered above the water surface of Zhuwei Lake, speechless.

It’s said that the Kun has a devouring divine technique with an appetite as vast as the sea, and seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation.

In addition, the Kun also has the ability to traverse space. However, being newly born, its strength is still shallow, and it can only exert a small divine technique level of spatial ability.

With a large quantity of Spirit Fish consumed, its strength increased rapidly, and its ability to traverse space gradually awakened.

Slowly, a faint spatial ripple appeared on its body surface. With each tail flick, it seemed to swim through spatial cracks, shrinking space invisibly, making its movement in water exceptionally agile and lively.

"No wonder it’s an Immortal Beast cub," Wang Shouzhe marveled, "Even a newly hatched cub has many extraordinary attributes and can already exhibit slight innate divine techniques. With such talent and potential, it’s no surprise it’s considered the first clear reward of the eighth level."

According to Wang Shouzhe’s understanding, an Immortal Beast’s growth potential is roughly equivalent to the innate Dao body of a human.

In the family, Liu Ruolan, Wang Liyao, and Ancestor Longyan’s bloodline levels have risen to the Innate Spirit Body Level, colloquially known as Unparalleled Celestial Pride Level. But compared to a young species like the Kun, which can grow to become an Immortal Beast, their bloodline potential is still one grade lower.

Imagine how terrifying a human’s innate Dao body must be.

Then.

Wang Shouzhe found Wang Anye and had him play with the young Kun to establish an initial companionship. The Kun species is known for its gentle nature, particularly when forming relationships in its infancy.

In just a few days, Wang Anye and the young Kun became "good brothers." The young Kun was willing to carry Anye for a swim in the water, and it understood Anye’s weakness, knowing to activate a protective energy when swimming underwater.

With that achieved.

Wang Zongkun’s hatching plan was complete. The subsequent feeding, education, and companionship tasks could be safely entrusted to Anye.

After all, his Infinite Treasure Ring is large enough to store plentiful Spirit Fish and Spiritual Flesh.

Although Little Sister Wuliang might complain when storing low-tier items inside, with Anye’s charm, she’ll surely be appeased easily.

Having shifted the responsibility of raising Wang Zongkun to Wang Anye.

Wang Shouzhe resumed his leisurely, relaxed life once more.

On this sunny day.

Wang Shouzhe set up a tea banquet in his small courtyard, inviting Wang Shifeng and other juniors for tea and conversation.

Despite Wang Shouzhe’s gentle and amiable demeanor during the gathering, the six young men and women present still felt immense pressure, as if sitting on pins and needles, being cautious even when sipping tea.

Everyone knows that their grandfather/fourth grandfather is always a Grand Demon King of exams. One moment, he’s praising you with a smile, and the next, he might be enthusiastically testing you on your studies, work, or even your poetry, songs, or Black Tortoise Combat Technique...

If he’s satisfied, there might be some red envelopes as a reward.

But if he’s not satisfied, well, it’s a different story!

He’ll keep an eye on you, frequently summoning you for heart-to-heart talks, exams, and tests until he’s satisfied.

"Lei’er." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile to Wang Yinglei, "How are you adjusting to your work at the Artifact Refining Headquarters? Shichuan is quite capable overall, you should learn from him diligently."

"Fourth Grandpa, Shichuan Sixth Brother just treats me like a little sister and only gives me trivial tasks." Wang Yinglei lightly complained, raising a small grievance, "I’m taking Fifteenth Brother’s suggestion now, planning to apply for a transfer to the sales department for some experience before returning to the Artifact Refining Headquarters after achieving results."

"You have ambition; truly a child of our family, showing such determination." Wang Shouzhe praised before adding, "However, you mustn’t neglect your cultivation; strength is fundamental, and do not slack off on your Black Tortoise Combat Skills."

Nowadays, the Wang Family, along the line of the [Thirty-seventh Recruitment Point] and the [Divine Martial Dynasty’s Fifth Recruit Training Camp], already has opportunities rising in the younger generation. While it’s hard to say everyone will become a Celestial Pride or Great Celestial Pride, with decent talent and character, aiming for Celestial Pride is still necessary.
