In the He family ancestral hall, three old men and a blood-red tiger stood before a large screen, observing the events unfolding in He Dazhuang's courtyard.
The moment the members of the Huaxia Seed Team entered, their scenes had been displayed on the large screen in the He family ancestral hall.
The Fourth Elder of the He family said to Lin Hai, "Second Brother, your little fellow's three spirit pets all possess divine beast bloodlines. I never expected someone so young to possess such strength. Truly worthy of being the one our ancestor specifically named to enter the Shura battlefield."
"We don't even know how Zhan'er cultivates his spirit pets. The father of that dragon python is the little snake, Jin Jiao, that my eldest brother raised back then. That black turtle was found by Zhan'er himself. As for the panda, it was obtained from the ancestor of the Imperial Dragon Clan. As for how their bloodlines were improved, we truly don't know." Lin Hai was also very curious about the three little ones. With his strength as a quasi-king of the clan, he could naturally see that these little fellows all possessed ancestral bloodlines, and there was a chance they might evolve to be like their ancestors one day.
"Actually, the most precious thing is the bond between these little fellows. Take Zhan'er's situation as an example. Although Dazhuang acted a bit rashly, they treated him like their own brothers. And those few little girls cried so sadly. It's one thing for children to have talent and strength, but the most important thing is for them to have a human touch, to value their bonds." Elder Lin Shan also appeared to be a sentimental person.
Although Lin Shan had a fiery temper, he doted on his descendants the most. To put it bluntly, he was protective. He could discipline his own children as he pleased, but if anyone else dared to touch them, he would chop off their heads and hang them in the Human Race's Merit Pavilion as an exhibit.
Lin Hai and the Fourth Elder were just about to nod in agreement when they saw, on the screen, the brothers Da Hu and Er Hu, along with others, still drinking tea and cracking seeds while watching the spectacle of them being beaten. It seemed different from what Elder Lin Shan had said.
Ancestor Blood Tiger looked at He Dazhuang, who was being beaten, and said, "Fourth, have you noticed? Dazhuang used to be quite alright, but ever since the ancestor passed down his inheritance, this kid has become so boorish and reckless."
The three old men were all taken aback. The Lin Hai and Lin Shan brothers exchanged a subtle glance at the blood tiger, thinking: You don't know what you are yourself, and you expect the child to be alright after inheriting from you.
The Fourth Elder, seeing the thoughts of the two Lin family elders, quickly changed the subject, "Old Ancestor, why do you have tattoos of two small wings on your body?"
Upon hearing this, Blood Tiger eagerly boasted, "This goes back to my father. Since ancient times, three tigers produce one fierce beast, and my father was the fierce beast. So, from birth, I inherited my father's fierce beast bloodline. Later, when I transformed into a totem and reshaped my spiritual body, I would retract my wings when not fighting for convenience. But I had to always remember that I was a fierce beast, so I got two wing-shaped marks. Take a look, doesn't this fierce beast look imposing?"
Lin Hai and Lin Shan exchanged a shocked glance: That's it, the case is solved. The root of why Dazhuang became so boorish and reckless has been found.
On the other side, Lin Zhan, while instructing his three spirit pets to continue beating the brothers Dazhuang and Er Zhuang, listened to Jiang Zheng explain the origin of the matter. Looking at He Dazhuang, Lin Zhan couldn't help but sigh, "Has this Old He become even more reckless than before?"
Lin Zhan said to the three little ones, "Alright, stop. Don't hit anymore."
"Old He, you are already married, why are you still so reckless? I just pulled a muscle, and you even set up a spirit tent for me? What, are you trying to inherit my fortune?" Lin Zhan looked helplessly at the tiger brothers, covered in claw marks.
"Pulled a muscle, how did you pull it?" He Dazhuang's first reaction wasn't about being beaten, but about how "the muscle" was pulled.
Wang Er Zhuang also looked at Lin Zhan with a lewd expression, then turned to Zhang Lingxiu, grinning, "Hehe, congratulations to the boss, congratulations to the sister-in-law."
Everyone covered their faces: Forget it, these two simpletons are beyond saving.
"Sigh, looking at the two of you, I'm getting old. Hurry up and tidy yourselves up. Let's have a meeting. We have another deal to do."
"Oh, and quickly tell someone to dismantle this tent. It's supposed to be remembered for generations? With what I do, it's a miracle if I don't leave a bad name forever." Lin Zhan had Zhang Lingxiu push him as he led everyone back to the room.
The brothers He Dazhuang helped each other up and looked at the three spirit pets, Xiao Jin, Xiao Huang, and Xiao Bao. "You guys really hit hard. Especially you, Xiao Hei, you even stood up to kick me. You're so capable, why don't you just fly away? Can't you just act like a normal turtle?"
Xiao Hei was stunned when he heard this. He looked around and found that everyone had gone inside and no one was paying attention to them. He then fiercely slapped each of Dazhuang and Er Zhuang, directly creating a pit in the ground.
"Help, quickly call medical personnel, Brothers Dazhuang fell into the pit!" Then, carrying Xiao Jin, with Xiao Jin clinging to Xiao Bao, the three spirit pets formed a strange combination and sped away.
The people in the house heard the commotion and rushed out to check. They saw a black shadow darting away, and everyone was stunned.
Ying Xuan asked blankly, "Was that black shadow that ran out just now that big turtle?"
Jiang Zheng quickly led a few people to dig out Dazhuang and Er Zhuang, and then hurried An Ya to find her father.
After Father An's diagnosis, Dazhuang and Er Zhuang looked serious, but there was nothing major wrong with them. They would be able to recover in two to three days, perhaps even faster than Lin Zhan.
"How can you be so careless, falling into a pit?" Father An lectured He Dazhuang.
"╥﹏╥, father-in-law, I really didn't..." But thinking that he was beaten like this by a turtle, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.
The Huaxia Team members sat in a circle in the main living room of He Dazhuang's courtyard, though the three in wheelchairs made them stand out a bit.
Lin Da Dangjia spoke first, "We've been back for about ten days. Everyone who should have advanced has advanced, and those who should have stabilized have stabilized. Old Ying, Hao Ran, Old Xiao, and Zhan Long are all just one step away from Golden rank."
"First, we need to give the team a name. We can't keep calling ourselves 'Seeds' all the time. Let's agree now, no names related to mountains or factions. Everyone else, please share your ideas."
Although He Dazhuang was in a wheelchair, he actively spoke, "We are all children of Huaxia, and we are all heroes and outstanding figures of our generation. I propose we call ourselves the Huaxia Yingjie Battle Team."
Er Zhuang also raised his hand and said, "My eldest brother's name isn't domineering enough. If you let me say it, we should call ourselves the Huaxia Yingshen Battle Team."
Dazhuang heard that his brother's name was better than his own and quickly agreed, "Er Zhuang's name is well chosen, I think it's good."
Zhang Haoran said to the person next to him, "These names are making me go bald. Big Brother, we are *living* people, damn it."
Lin Zhan said with a helpless expression, "It's been tough on the two of you. Let's just call ourselves the Huaxia Battle Team. No objections, it's decided."
