Chapter 201 In this battle, the Tong family must establish their prestige in the ancient martial art
The Azure Dragon Team completed its mission with outstanding efficiency, which made the higher-ups realize their strength and led to plans to continue training new ancient martial arts warriors. From then on, these teams were almost never idle.
They always had all sorts of strange tasks to complete, but these honed their combat skills and increased their experience against enemies. At the same time, because they accumulated enough task points, they also received considerable cultivation resources and more rewards. But that's a story for later.
Tong Yuheng contributed her ancient martial arts techniques and provided so many medicines; her training methods can also be passed down by these disciples. Their value is immeasurable.
The higher-ups decided to award her a first-class merit, and together with the cost of the medicinal materials she invested and her hard-earned money, they gave her 200,000 yuan.
Li Chengsong spent New Year's Day 1972 at Tong Yuheng's house, because in two days, he and Tong Yuheng would leave to complete a long-term mission.
She might not be able to come back in April when her younger siblings are born. She felt a little reluctant, but she didn't delay and started preparing various things for each other with her family.
She kept all the medicinal herbs that could be preserved, and stored a lot of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage in the basement. She just needed to focus on making the pills; Grandpa Li would send someone to collect them once a month.
Tong Jiahui is almost six months pregnant and it has been confirmed that she is carrying twins. Her belly is quite large, and everyone tacitly avoids asking whether the babies are boys or girls.
Tong Jiahui certainly hopes to have a boy so that she can have both a son and a daughter, but she also likes girls. What other family has a child as smart and sensible as her daughters!
After her second daughter joined the army and left for distant lands, her eldest daughter was also leaving. She couldn't help but become emotional, her eyes brimming with tears. Liu Fengyi had to spend a great deal of effort to comfort her.
Now that her younger sisters are quite capable in combat, and with her grandfather, a skilled doctor, always by her side, she doesn't really have any worries.
Yu-hsuan is now in the first year of junior high school in her mother's class. She doesn't plan to skip a grade and intends to study and go to school step by step.
With her older sister's permission, she took on the role of her mother in taking over a group of junior disciples from the Cheng family, teaching them martial arts every day, all of which she did secretly after school.
Following Tong Yuheng, Xiao Liu also became the "senior sister" of a group of people.
The Qing Shi Tong family had already registered their status as an ancient martial arts family with the Ancient Martial Arts Association before the new year, and they didn't plan to take on any missions for the time being. However, as martial arts masters, they were allowed to take on disciples. This resulted in a significant increase in the number of disciples in the Qing Shi Tong family.
Xiaoqi had a great time playing with the village children, but she didn't reveal that she was a martial artist. The Cheng brothers were also instructed to keep it a secret.
After Tong Yuheng left, the maternal grandfather took charge of the family affairs, with Yuhan acting as an advisor. If anyone from the ancient martial arts world came to provoke them, Liu Fengyi and Linglong, the two daughters, would rush to the front to protect their family.
At the end of last year, not long after the Tong family registered their business, the Han family came to provoke them. There must be someone behind this trying to cause trouble, either to subdue them for their own use, or to eliminate them to put pressure on Old Master Li's faction!
However, the Han family's arrival was just in time; let them serve as stepping stones for the Tong family! Tong Yuheng had long harbored the intention to wipe out this family, so he accepted the Han family's challenge, aiming to cripple them and prevent them from gaining a foothold in the ancient martial arts world.
The Tong family of Qing Shi can be said to have become famous in the ancient martial arts world after this battle!
This challenge wasn't just about the Han family wanting the formula for their health-enhancing pills; it also involved the opposing side of Grandpa Li and his group plotting behind the scenes. Their plan was to defeat the Tong family first, and then negotiate terms. A family capable of refining ancient martial arts pills, even if they only possessed one or two formulas, was worth winning over.
Qinglong and his teams of ancient martial arts warriors have already shown remarkable results. They discovered that the little-known Qing Shi Tong family was supporting them with elixirs.
The fact that the Tong family could quickly train so many powerful ancient martial arts warriors within a year was dazzling to those people and aroused their greed.
They wanted to subdue this ancient martial arts family, which was mostly composed of women, and also wanted the Tong family to train henchmen and refine medicines for them. Therefore, they allowed the lackeys of the Han family to test them.
After a new family registers with the Ancient Martial Arts Association, it is allowed to be challenged by other families, but it can only accept a maximum of three challenges within six months. Such challenges are conducted fairly and impartially under the supervision of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
This is the rule: to let new families know to respect powerful families in the ancient martial arts world, and also to test whether new families have the resources to establish themselves in the ancient martial arts world.
The Han family knew that the Tong family had powerful backers, but those backers were the opposite of their own, so they weren't afraid of offending the Tong family.
They issued a series of martial arts challenges, and Tong Yuheng agreed to meet them at the Ancient Martial Arts Association's dueling arena.
The conditions proposed by the Han family were shameless. If they lost, they would have to marry their four eldest daughters into the Han family and take the family's medicinal formula as dowry. In addition, they would have to provide the Han family with 10,000 pills for body tempering every year.
Tong Yuheng was already a mid-stage Grandmaster; as long as a Primordial Martial Saint didn't make a move, she feared no one. It was said that the Han family had no Martial Saints.
Since they are so shameless and greedy, how could the Tong family let them go? Tong Yuheng demanded that all of the Han family's wealth be wagered this time, and that he gamble his life with the Han family disciples. Whether he survived or not would depend entirely on his own abilities.
Tong Yuheng wasn't taking her own family's lives lightly; rather, she had obtained accurate information about the Han family's personnel and strength through the group of ancient martial arts warriors she had trained, and they were confident of victory.
In this battle, the Tong family must establish their prestige in the world of ancient martial arts!
The members of the Ancient Martial Arts Association hadn't expected the young patriarch of the Tong family to be so decisive and courageous. The Han family, seemingly confident of victory, also agreed to the bet. It was agreed that they would engage in a series of battles until only one martial artist remained on the stage or a family head conceded defeat.
Grandpa Li was very worried and wanted them to stay away. He even planned to teach the Han family a lesson, but Tong Yuheng refused. This battle was just in time for the Tong family to establish themselves in the ancient martial arts world!
The fellow apprentices she had trained were unhappy; those who hadn't gone on missions all came to Tong Yuheng demanding to join the fight. Tong Yuheng didn't let them participate, but instead ordered them to investigate the Han family's assets and personnel, and to summarize the information in three days.
This duel shocked the ancient martial arts world. The Han family mobilized nearly fifty members from both direct and collateral branches, while the Tong family only had six girls, an old man, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
The young man is none other than Tong Yuchen. He is also a martial arts prodigy. Under the careful guidance and abundant resources of his eldest cousin, his martial arts prowess is second only to his eldest and fifth cousins. He is just a little short of entering the ranks of Martial Grandmaster!
