Chapter 50 Xiao Feng's Foresight
Both Xiao Qi and Xiao Feng were overjoyed to receive Xiao Feng's praise. Upon seeing Xiao Feng's gesture, they quickly stepped back and let Xiao Hu report to them. Xiao Hu had followed Xiao Feng before the Xiao clan was destroyed, and had been with him for quite some time, so he could be considered one of Xiao Feng's confidants.
During the hundred years that Xiao Feng was in seclusion, Xiao Hu was also entrusted with important tasks such as taking care of the clansmen. Therefore, he can now be said to be one of the most powerful people in the Xiao clan's small world.
"Reporting to the elder, in the past hundred years, six people in the Xiao clan have broken through to the Half-Saint realm: Xiao Qi, Xiao Ren, Xiao Xing, Xiao Hai, Xiao Yumei, and Xiao Guang; fifty-seven people have broken through to the Dou Zun realm; two hundred and seventy-six people have broken through to the Dou Zong realm; ten thousand and five thousand people have broken through to the Dou Huang realm; and there are more than ten thousand people below the Dou Huang realm!"
A string of data flowed from his mouth without the slightest pause, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times. After speaking, Xiao Hu stood quietly to the side, awaiting Xiao Feng's reply. In truth, he was still somewhat nervous, because he hadn't compiled a complete list of all the cultivation levels within the Xiao clan; those below the Dou Huang realm had been completely omitted from his count.
Of course, it's not that he didn't want to include all of these figures, but rather that it was simply impossible to do so. The Xiao Clan has over 100,000 members, of whom nearly 100,000 are at the Dou Zhe or Dou Shi level. Breaking through these levels is not too difficult, and on average, someone breaks through every single day.
Therefore, if a complete and detailed count were to be conducted, it would likely be necessary to recount the data frequently, as some clansmen would inevitably break through to higher realms during this period. This would mean that the previous count would just finish before the next one had to begin, which would be quite strenuous. That is why he grouped all those who had not yet reached the Dou Huang realm together, using the Dou Huang realm as a dividing line.
We will compile detailed statistics on all clansmen who have reached the Douhuang realm or above, and make a general statistic on all those below the Douhuang realm.
Looking at Xiao Hu, who seemed slightly nervous, Xiao Feng smiled inwardly, understanding his concerns. In his view, there was nothing to worry about; on the contrary, it was the right thing to do. The Xiao Clan was currently in dire need of manpower, and repeated surveys would inevitably lead to a waste of resources, which would be a huge waste for the Xiao Clan at present.
However, he would not voice this thought. In his view, this matter was correct, but in the eyes of Xiao Hu and others, there were many instances of incompetence in handling the matter. This matter was extremely two-sided, both right and wrong. He did not explicitly state how to do it, partly to give them a warning, and partly to test their own abilities.
Xiao Hu's ability to have such thoughts is undeniable. In addition, it can be seen that the others have really put their hearts into it; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to understand all of this so well and answer questions so readily.
"Not bad. Next, you can try to build some arenas or something in the outer layer to train the combat abilities of these people. I don't want to see them all as a bunch of useless people who have high cultivation levels but can't use their strength!" When he said this, Xiao Feng's face was cold, clearly telling everyone that this situation could not happen.
Xiao Hu and the others understood his meaning and quickly replied, "Yes, we will definitely not let this happen."
"Well, I hope you won't disappoint me. Besides, those who have reached the Dou Huang realm and are trustworthy will be sent to various places in rotation as a form of training." Xiao Feng's words fell lightly, causing Xiao Hu and the others to show surprise.
How could they not know Xiao Feng's thoughts? However, once this method is implemented, clansmen who have reached the Dou Huang realm will have to go to various places to train. The Dou Qi Continent can be said to have fully demonstrated the law of the jungle. For these clansmen who have been pampered and cultivated to the Dou Huang realm in the Xiao Clan's small world, it will not be an easy thing to survive. At that time, it would be good if half of them could come back alive. And their contribution would only be to promote the development of "Hell".
Xiao Feng's casual remark has now decided the lives of tens of thousands of members of the Xiao clan! In a word, it all boils down to "power!"
They exchanged glances, and Xiao Hu and the others opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say, so they could only reply, "Yes, we will obey the elder's orders!"
In fact, Xiao Feng's purpose was not only to train these clansmen, but more importantly, to enable them to be self-sufficient and even give back to the current Xiao clan. It should be understood that although the current Xiao clan still possesses some of the savings accumulated in the past, the amount lost over the past century is already staggering. If this continues, it will likely be completely depleted soon, leaving the Xiao clan facing the embarrassing situation of having no cultivation resources.
Rather than waiting until then to let the clansmen leave the small world to compete for cultivation resources, it is undoubtedly better to take preventative measures in advance.
In fact, Xiao Feng had already taken some precautions beforehand, such as the "Hell" organization he had previously established. Did you really think it was just an intelligence organization? Don't forget what Xiao Feng said before: selling intelligence was also of paramount importance. Some seemingly useless information could be priceless in the hands of certain people.
Imagine two countries are at war, and here's a map showing the enemy's military deployment. Would you buy it or not? Of course you would, even if the price was outrageous, because it could determine the life or death of a nation! But such a map might not even be worth a single gold coin in the hands of someone else.
This is how "Hell" makes its profits. As long as it finds the right buyer, it can reap terrifying profits. At a certain point, it can bring rich rewards to the Xiao clan.
And now these clansmen are in the same situation.
At their level, it is possible that they will not be able to break through a new realm for several years.
Staying in the Xiao Clan's small world will only be a waste of time and resources.
It would be better to let them leave, so that at least we don't have to bear the burden of their cultivation resources, and we can even get a return from them.
They were only at the Douhuang realm. If they all perished, it wouldn't be enough to break Xiao Feng's heart, nor would it cripple the Xiao clan.
Therefore, it was a win-win situation.
