Chapter 23
The assessment in the ruins was not as simple as it looked. For example, Chen Yang’s first assessment would be to nurture a newborn demon beast into a demon general in five years.
Not only did this require a large amount of resources, but it also required the inheritor to be very familiar with demon beasts and know how to nurture them to increase the cultivation of the demon beasts to a large extent in a limited time.
However, this was nothing to Chen Yang. With the Dao Integration Bead, it was just a matter of adding points.
Holding the egg of the Blazing Eagle, Chen Yang pushed open the door of the courtyard.
“Family Head, you’re out.” Seeing Chen Yang holding a demon beast egg, Chen Xuan knew that Chen Yang had definitely passed the test and immediately went up to him.
“Yes, I was lucky to clear it.”
“Then, Family Head, what benefits did you obtain?” According to the contents of their discussion, Chen Xuan hurriedly asked Chen Yang about the benefits this time.
When the others heard this, they also looked at Chen Yang.
A smile appeared on Chen Yang’s face. “I’ve really gained a lot this time. Apart from obtaining a demon beast egg with the Demon Venerable bloodline, my Mystic Wind Wolf has also been upgraded to the Demon General level.”
At this, most people froze in place.
After a while, cheers erupted. With a demon general-level beast, didn’t that mean that the Chen family’s strength had increased significantly?

Forget it. Forget it. Perhaps Old Li was hiding something from him too.
“Alright, alright, everyone, be quiet! After we return, we will say that we found a heavily injured Demon General Mystic Wind Wolf in the Endless Mountains.”
“Don’t tell anyone about this place,” Chen Yang instructed.
“We understand.” The Chen family naturally knew the importance of these ruins and immediately made a decision in their hearts.
No matter what, they could not leak the information here.
Chen Yang took in everyone’s expressions. Very good. This way, the plan of the ruins taking the blame for the Dao Integration Bead would be completely completed.
“By the way, have you calculated what inheritances are in the first round?” Chen Yang asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan walked forward with a booklet in his hand. “Family Head, according to the statistics, there are a total of five types of inheritances in the first circle.”
“They are Martial Arts Inheritance, Alchemist Inheritance, Beast Tamer Inheritance, Weapon Refinement Master Inheritance, and Array Master Inheritance.”
“Among the five great inheritances, the martial arts inheritance is the most and the array master inheritance is the least.”
Chen Yang took the booklet and scanned it. A plan formed in his mind. “First Elder, I have an idea.”
“So many inheritances must require precise selection before they can be effectively used.”
“Therefore, I’ve decided to set up a clan school in the clan. All clansmen above the age of eight need to go to school, regardless of whether they are from the direct line of descent.”
“The family will search for the works of some famous people. While we teach them to read and write, we must also make them understand propriety.”
Chen Xuan was stunned. Start studying at the age of eight? Family Head, are you a devil?
One had to know that when Chen Yang and the others were young, they could only really read and write after they were 14 years old.
Chen Xuan had thought that Chen Yang was already demonic enough, but who knew that Chen Yang was not done yet?
“This kind of learning will continue until one is 14 years old. After they turn 14, they can practice martial arts according to each of their personal aptitudes. They will be divided into five classes: Beast Taming Class, Alchemy Class, Array Class, and so on. This is so as to make the best use of their individual talents.”
“Of course, if you have the aptitude, you can also cultivate both. The family will not force or stop you in this aspect.”
“After they turn 18, they will be assigned to various positions in the family based on what they have learned.”
Only then did Chen Xuan understand that the Family Head had great ambitions. If they were nurtured systematically like this, the future of the Chen family’s descendants would be limitless.
Not to mention his personal aptitude, just his ways of handling matters and his morals alone could shake off the disciples of other families.
In the long run, how could the Chen family not prosper?
“I agree with the Family Head.” After understanding, Chen Xuan was the first to express his support.
The other elders also knew that this was for the good of the family and did not object.
On the other hand, those young direct descendants were subconsciously worried about their descendants, even though they had no descendants yet.
“Good. Since no one has any objections, we’ll operate that way when we get back. Those who are below 14 years old will be divided into groups according to age.”
“Those above 14 years old will also be divided into groups and then classes according to age.”
“Big Brother, as a direct descendant, Ming De must set an example for the collateral relatives. When you return, you must strictly discipline him.” Chen Yang cast his gaze at Chen Xuan’s son, Chen Dao.
“I understand, Master.” Chen Dao smiled and nodded.
“Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, and Tenth Brother, the three of you are not yet 18 years old in the direct line of descent. After the school is established, you have to set an example for the direct line of descent.”
After arranging for his nephew, Chen Yang reached out to his younger siblings.
When the three little ones heard this, their faces instantly turned pale. They wanted to say something, but because of the Family Head’s authority, they said honestly, “We understand.”
“As for the others, including the elders, all the direct descendants have to prepare one or two ancient books. Although we don’t have to go to school, we still have to ensure our knowledge.”
“Otherwise, when your sons and daughters ask you questions, you won’t be able to answer a single question. You’ll lose face for no reason.”
Hearing this, the other elders smiled bitterly. They did not expect that they, who were secretly delighted just now, would be arranged by the Family Head at this moment.
“Family Head, isn’t this step a little too big?” Chen Xuan was a little worried. According to Chen Yang’s plan, the Chen family needed too many things.
“No, this first batch of disciples is to select an heir for the ruins. They just need to test if they have talent.”
“It won’t consume much resources to only select the most talented disciples.”
“In the future, we can also use the inheritance in the ruins to teach. Similarly, we don’t need to consume much of the family’s resources.”
“Moreover, when this group of people grows up, we don’t know how many resources they can earn for the family. In terms of education, it will definitely be a profitable business.”
Chen Xuan nodded. The Family Head was right. This was definitely a profitable business. However, there was a prerequisite. Among the first batch of disciples, there had to be disciples who could pass all the assessments.
Otherwise, the Chen family would definitely be dragged down.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked at the group of young direct descendants. “Family Head, I suggest that the direct descendants of your generation should also enter the family school to learn.”
“The more people there are, the more confident they will be. Besides, when those children reach the peak of the Qi Refinement realm, the family will have to pay a lot of resources.”
“As for the elders, because they need to deal with the family matters, they don’t have to go to school, but they have to study seriously. Perhaps one of them can pass the assessment.”
