BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Might have been destroyed
He understood even more the importance of Blackwood\'s progeny. Currently, the dozen or so members could fend off two Transcendent Seed with their cards, and if there were a hundred...
Instantly defeating Transcendent Seed and looking down on Developing Skill was no longer a dream!
Not only that.
Ethan had calculated that now, including his wife, the family had 16 members, which could increase his Spiritual Tribute by 4000 every year.
Now, his consumption of Spiritual Tribute points was increasing.
Creating offspring was urgent!
After pushing for marriages.
Ethan began to check the profits from this major battle, guessing that Olivia\'s dispatch of troops across counties to snatch the Dragon Tiger Gate would bring many benefits, but due to the distance, their psychic mines and medicinal fields could not be harvested.
The people from Dragon Tiger Gate didn\'t have much that the Blackwood people valued; their weapons were all psychic equipment.
However, their techniques still surprised Ethan.
"Good stuff!"
[Yellow Tier Technique: Lifeblood Drawing Technique]
[The closer the bloodline, the more powerful it becomes, the deeper the practice, the stronger the power!]
"So the Dragon Tiger brothers were practicing this technique, haha, you guys are really Blackwood\'s lucky stars!"
Just now, during the cards battle, Ethan could feel it.
Those Dragon Tiger brothers, using some unknown technique, created a blood-boiling combo move, almost shattering one of his Forebearer cards!
And they were only two people.
Blackwood... with nine children, Julian\'s seven children had the closest bloodlines, practicing this technique together would be immensely powerful!
Julian also passed this technique to his children for cultivating psychic powers, and Daniel also practiced it.
Even Marcus, far away in Sky Sect, received a copy.
At this time.
Sky Sect.
Marcus was already a direct disciple.
In his courtyard, outer disciples served him, and inner disciples ran errands for him.
At this moment, he received a thick stack of family letters.
Only in the dead of night did Marcus dare to open the family letters to check.
Seeing his family\'s concern, Marcus\'s eyes moistened.
He had already known about the invasion of Blackwood by the Dragon Tiger Gate, and had even left the sect to return home that day, but on the way, he received news of the mysterious disappearance of the entire Dragon Tiger Gate, so he gave up.
And now...
Inside the family letter, not a word about the difficulties at home, just telling him to study peacefully at Sky Sect, that Blackwood would always be his strongest support.
Even his father, in the letter, told him not to come back if it wasn\'t necessary.
How could Marcus not know that his father was afraid he would be ambushed by the Xuanwu Gate on his way back!
Inside the family letter, there was also the technique of Lifeblood Drawing.
Besides that.
It was a letter from his third uncle, saying how easy it was to deceive women, telling him to quickly get married and have children, if he really couldn\'t catch up with a wife, just say he was dying tomorrow... such nonsense, probably all his brothers had heard about it, who knows which fool would believe it.
That night, Marcus experienced the effects of psychic wine for the first time, getting utterly drunk and vomiting profusely.
"Forebearer, grandparents, dad, and my aunts and uncles, Marcus will return. The Sky Sect isn\'t my true home; they only value my talents, which I understand."
"But it\'s only in the Sky Sect that I can secretly learn everything and bring it back to our family. In these chaotic times, I must also make use of the Sky Sect to avert disaster for our Blackwood family."
"Child... may the Forebearer bless..."
In the splendidly decorated room, Marcus looked around at the many precious items. Yet, he felt that the family letter he held while sleeping was more valuable than the entire Sky Sect—it was indeed the most peaceful night he had ever had.
...
[Blackwood Year 52]
Another New Year has arrived.
Ethan\'s push for marriage indeed had its effects!
Among Julian\'s seven children, Thomas, now 17, truly resembled his father. Not just in stature—as all of Julian\'s lineage were robust, the women included—but in temperament as well, each vividly mirroring their parents.
Thomas took his father Julian\'s words to heart.
[Your third-generation descendant Thomas fell in love at first sight with a beautiful woman in the village and impulsively asked her to bear his child, resulting in a slap. He was also reported to Blackwood, where Olivia punished him with three lashes and made him kneel before the Forebearer for seven days.]
[Thomas, undeterred, professed his love again, claiming he would die the next day and begged the woman to take him into her room, only to be beaten again and suspended in the village for three days as punishment.]
[In October, Thomas reached the seventh level of Foundational Energy.]
[While the Martinez family was troubled by the Jubilee, they joined forces with the Black Blood Hall to assist the Martinez family, defending against enemies together.
During this time, pursued by an early-stage master of Emerging Ability, Thomas and Dorothy Martinez faced life and death together, ultimately saved by the grace of the Forebearer\'s Cards, during which their affection for each other grew.]
[In November, Blackwood proposed a marriage alliance to the Martinez family.]
"Finally, someone from the third generation is making us proud!"
Ethan was so excited he jumped on the spot!
No wonder he was anxious.
Marcus, now 31 from the third generation, showed no signs of settling down. Despite the Sky Sect having many women as beautiful as celestial beings, Marcus didn\'t spare them a glance, and if it weren\'t for the fact that Marcus didn\'t even look much at handsome men, Ethan might have misunderstood!
Daniel listened but was naturally shy and reserved, rarely mingling with outsiders. Some women, attracted by Daniel\'s status and looks, threw themselves at him, but were they really the kind you\'d want?
Before long.
The scene was festively decorated, and even amidst the chaos outside, Blackwood still led a procession to Forest Town for the wedding.
The Martinez family was even more eager than Blackwood, as their family had nearly been wiped out once and could only stabilize their footing in Forest Town because of Blackwood\'s righteousness.
Now, with the two families united by marriage, a perfect match of a golden boy and a jade girl, the Martinez family was so thrilled they nearly changed their surname to Blackwood on the spot.
At the wedding feast.
Jerry, who had formed a bond with Blackwood, now had white hair and was the current head of the Martinez family, as well as Dorothy\'s grandfather.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, yet he looked worried. Taking advantage of the banquet, he said to Nathan.
"The people from Jubilee County are becoming more rampant. Our Martinez family\'s mines outside Forest Town have been completely monopolized by them, and their greed is only growing. Our Martinez family... I fear we may not last much longer."
Beside him, the head of the Rodriguez family also shook his head and sighed, "My Rodriguez family is in the same boat. Just a few months ago, they even sent two Transcendent Seed masters to disturb us at night. "
"Our Rodriguez family\'s great formation was severely damaged. If not for another ace up our sleeve, the Rodriguez family might have been destroyed by my own hands, Ronald."
