In the martial arts world, it is not that easy to be the leader of a sect.
Therefore, among the martial arts world, those who can become the head of a sect in the martial arts world are obviously capable and capable people. Regardless of the size of the sect, at least this leader must have something outstanding. However, the premise is that this sect can gain a foothold in the world. If you can't gain a foothold in the world, but just pretend to be the head of a sect of your own, then it is naturally meaningless.
The Tang Clan is now not only one of the four major families in the world, but in terms of strength, it may be considered the first of the four major families. Now the head of the four major families, he can also be said to be the largest sect in the world, and there must be no one to oppose him.
It is naturally not that easy to be the head of such a sect. Although Tang Mugong said that he was not the absolute best in the world in martial arts, he would never show weakness when facing any martial arts master in the world, and he still had a chance to win. Even Ren Xiaoyao, the best player in the world, has hardly gained any advantage in his hands over the years. As one of the four major families in the world, the Tang Sect is also one of the nine traditional sects. This means that the Tang Sect has a very high status in the world.
However, the big tree attracts the wind.
Maybe when you are strong, you will not dare to provoke you, but if you are weak, you may immediately attract many potential enemies. This situation has occurred countless times in the previous battles between rivers and lakes. Because everyone knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, no one will still dare to act recklessly when others are strong.
Only when something happens to your sect, those people who originally didn't dare to offend you but harbor a grudge against you, as well as those who were your original enemies, will immediately appear in front of you.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
This is already the wise and clear statement of Jianghu people.
Tigers also take naps.
No matter how powerful a sect is, there will inevitably be some changes or slight decline. At this time, you have to be careful about your enemies.
However, among the four major families, Tang Clan and Xiaoyao Clan are both about to take over as heads. Therefore, the two old guys Tang Mugong and Ren Xiaoyao are naturally making plans for their own sect.
Compared to Tang Sect, perhaps Xiaoyao Sect's choice is simpler. They not only have the outstanding Huang Jishan, but also the young but smart Tianming. Choosing one of the two is naturally a happy worry.
Tang Zhong is different. Although there are many masters in the Tang Sect, and the Four Heroes of the Tang Sect also have prestige in the world, Mr. Tang Mugong believes that they lack one thing, so they cannot further become the leader of the Tang Sect.
What they lack is called tolerance.
If one of the Four Heroes of the Tang Sect becomes the leader, then all the other three will be dissatisfied. In this way, four people, and even more people, will participate in this brotherly fight. When he became the leader of the Tang Clan, he tolerated the rebellion of his brothers and relatives, so the division of the Tang Clan seemed inevitable in Tang Mugong's view.
Tang Mugong allowed the Tang Sect to be in his hands and became the largest sect in the world. Although I can see that he is a man of both wisdom and courage. It was already remarkable that he could foresee what kind of trouble the Tang Clan would encounter and take the lead in avoiding it.
It's just that his approach seems to be a bit too risky.
He felt that some of his seemingly orthodox successors would be dissatisfied with whomever they chose. Then simply choose someone who everyone disagrees with, but who is tolerant and tolerant enough to find a way to save the Tang Clan. Although the Tang Sect may still encounter some risks, it is obvious that the Tang Sect will eventually get on the right track again. Rather than choosing an unsuitable person as the head of the sect and causing the Tang sect to collapse, Tang Mugong should take such a risk.
So Tang Mugong identified his granddaughter-in-law Wei Yan, and planned to teach her various exquisite martial arts of the Tang Sect.
After Wei Yan knew her grandfather's intentions, she also knew that she might not be able to avoid it, and would be put on the shelf, becoming the head of the Tang Sect. Wei Yan is not a very stupid person. She could already imagine what kind of resistance she would encounter if she became the leader, and how much opposition she would have.
However, just as grandpa said, she did not want to see the Tang Sect continue to decline after grandpa left.
Since grandpa believes in him, what she has to do is not to let him down.
The first prerequisite for not disappointing grandpa is to practice your own martial arts well.
Although during this period, her martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of experts from the Fifth Line and Xingjian Sect. But if you want to be the head of the Tang Sect, this is obviously not enough.
At least, she must learn the Tang Sect's orthodox martial arts. So, from this day forward, Wei Yan and her grandfather began to practice real Tang Clan martial arts in the woods.
First of all, it is the foundation of Tang Sect martial arts, Tang Sect Iron Palm. Only by mastering the Tang Clan Iron Palm can you further practice the Tang Clan Poison Palm and more advanced Tang Clan martial arts.
However, Tang Sect Iron Palm was originally a very profound martial art, but Wei Yan could not fully learn it for a while.
She couldn't fully learn it, mainly because his internal strength was not enough.
Although her martial arts has improved greatly these days, it has always been limited to swordsmanship. As for internal strength cultivation, I actually practiced very little. It was only when her grandfather Tang Mugong practiced Tang Sect Iron Palm that she truly came into contact with internal skills. To say the least, he had just come into contact with Tang Sect's orthodox internal skills.
Fortunately, Wei Yan is indeed a smart girl. Although the Tang Sect's Iron Palm is a bit difficult to practice, his palm strength has improved very quickly because of Tang Mugong, a famous sect. Moreover, after Wei Yan's palm skills reached a certain level, Tang Mugong began to teach Wei Yan poison skills and hidden weapon techniques.
Although the poison skills and hidden weapon techniques do require a certain foundation of internal skills, they are above all techniques, and Wei Yan can still learn them first. It’s just that you may not be able to use it perfectly due to lack of skill.
For a beginner, it is a bit harsh to ask her to be perfect. It is already very good if she can learn everything she wants to learn immediately.
After all, there are many people who are not talented enough and have been practicing martial arts for many years, but in the end their progress is minimal. On the one hand, it may be due to lack of effort, but talent does have a significant impact.
Some people practice martial arts and can quickly grasp it, while others take a long time. This is due to talent.
Diligence can make up for clumsiness, but it cannot make up for talent.
