Wang Baowei was quite remarkable, directly marrying a princess of Moyan Country, and fathering several offspring including Wang Youfu. Wang Youfuâs wife was from the Jiangâs of the Immortal Dynasty, and Wang Yinzhi was Wang Youfuâs eldest son.
Currently, Wang Huanxiu is Wang Yinzhiâs oldest son, now sixty years old, still unmarried and without children.
Itâs worth mentioning Wang Shi Fengâs eldest son, Wang Anchang.
During the Spring Thunder Action on the extraterrestrial battlefield, Wang Anchang heroically sacrificed himself while covering his allies in a fierce battle against the Demonic Clan. He was only 140 years old and hadnât even reached the Purple Abode Realm, tragically dying young. Fortunately, his descendants have done him proud, ensuring his lineageâs honor.
Over the years, with the Wang family engaging in various battles, it wasnât just Wang Anchang who sacrificed himself on the battlefield.
Without even mentioning the direct branch, in Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolanâs line of direct descendants alone, six from Wang Zongâanâs long branch sacrificed themselves, while nine from Wang Zongruiâs second branch gave their lives.
Can there be wars without casualties?
Especially in the direct line spawned by Wang Shouzhe, who always demonstrated strong responsibility, many of the talented ones have bravely led from the front. Even though they have numerous protective treasures, they are often caught off guard by unexpected events or fall into desperate situations.
Each time someone sacrifices themself, Wang Shouzhe feels deeply sorrowful.
But in this world, which Prominent Family doesnât have its sacrifices?
Moving forward inevitably involves hardships, and even if no battles occur, the path of cultivation is fraught with danger. Divine Martial cultivators must forge ahead courageously rather than shrink back in fear.
The only thing Wang Shouzhe can do is to strengthen the family as much as possible, striving to minimize the sacrifices of his descendants.
Under the reprimand of the elders, the farce of pulling and tugging finally ended.
Wang Huanxiu, as the second prospective student, was examined by the Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao.
"What? You have Heavenly Son Ding Class Talent?" the Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao was once again shocked.
In the academyâs history, there were not no Heavenly Son Dings, for instance, the excellent student Wu Panpan was Heavenly Son Ding when she first came for advanced studies!
Such a genius, after inheriting the Immortal Scripture, their bloodline talent can evolve to Heavenly Son Class C, and a mid-stage True Immortal future can be anticipated, which makes them a rare talent. Even in the most prosperous era of the Divine Martial Dynasty, such geniuses were uncommon.
However, the Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao did not know that its shock had just begun.
After Wang Huanxiu, the third to step up was Wang Jinyuâs aunt, Wang Guilan.
She used to have a Great Heavenly Proud, Class A bloodline, but after being caught by Wang Shouzhe and undergoing some operations, she now has completed the inheritance of the Codex and upgraded to a Heavenly Women Level D.
After she passed the examination, she couldnât wait to rush in and join Wang Jinyu.
Then came the fourth, the fifth!
They were all elites of the Wang familyâs younger generation, the male lineup of You, Yin, Huan, and Hong were all present. The females Jin, Jun, Pei, and Ke were also extremely outstanding.
Now, the Wang familyâs population is growing rapidly, and naturally, the number of excellent children is increasing as well. Even if the Wang family had extensive resources, itâs not possible to allocate them evenly to everyone.
Taking the descendants of Wang Shouzhe as an example, Zongâanâs long branch had eighty-nine males, ninety-three women who were married or to be married, and sixty-three Wang family brides, totaling 225 individuals.
This is not even counting the grandchildren born to the children married out.
And the population in Zongâanâs branch is relatively small. Mainly because there are so many outstanding children in this branch and they marry wives with strong bloodlines, resulting in challenges in childbirthâthey are born late and in fewer numbers.
This is evident from the direct long line where Wang Baoshengâs generation is still in the "Bao" character generation while the "Huan" character generation is three generations ahead.
In contrast, Zongruiâs line is impressive, currently having a total population of 675. In this branch, childbirth generally occurs faster, having already reached the "Hong" character generation, so naturally, the population is growing exponentially.
Combining both sides, Wang Shouzhe and his wifeâs direct descendants have already surpassed 900 people.
Among all the branches of the Wang family, the direct branch, where Wang Shouzhe and the other three Old Ancestors are located, has the smallest population. In Wang Shouxinâs line, often referred to as the "First Old Ancestorâs line," the population has already exceeded 3,000, thanks to prolific childbirth and early marriages.
The second brother, Wang Shouyiâs line, has a population of around 1,700.
Then thereâs the third brother Wang Shounuoâs line, Wang Luotongâs line, Wang Shou Yongâs line, Wang Shoulianâs line, Wang Shouyeâs line, the eighth brother Wang Shoumingâs line, and the ninth brother Wang Shouchengâs line.
Altogether, the total population of all the Wang familyâs direct and legitimate lines has exceeded 17,000! This doesnât even include collateral branches or the head of household. If we add them up, the total population would be even more astonishing.
Of course, this is inseparable from Wang Shouzheâs years of promoting marriage and procreation.
Compared to the pitiful few dozen people back then, the Wang familyâs population number has now expanded and expanded again. The four words "Prominent Family" have become well-deserved.
With such a large population, itâs impossible to train every junior in the Wang family under the same model.
The only ones with preferential treatment are the children born from the long branch of the direct line, who can receive more resources if conditions allow.
The young people who can come to the Senior Officer Improvement Academy today are the elite of the elite, each a leader among their peers. With such a foundation, these outstanding children are often born as Sky Pride, and some even as Great Heavenly Proud from birth.
Besides the children born from the direct long branch, other family members with innate twofold bloodline Sky Pride children are cultivated towards becoming Unparalleled Heavenly Child, with a Codex in hand, their future being the Transcendent Void Realm. Meanwhile, those with the innate triple bloodline Great Heavenly Proud are being nurtured towards becoming sons and daughters of heaven, striving to become True Immortals in the future.
As for a Worldâs Best Heavenly Child like Wang Jinyu, with her fourfold spiritual bloodline from birth, the Wang family is nurturing her to become a Saint. Therefore, the resource allocation towards Wang Jinyu isnât solely due to Wang Shouzheâs care but because she inherently qualified.
As for a prodigy like Baosheng, born with an innate Taoist Body and fivefold bloodline, Wang Shouzhe can only say that he aims to nurture him towards becoming a Taozi, and as for the future Dao Book, thatâs entirely dependent on future developments.
After all, the number of Dao Books is really too limited, and even with Wang Shouzheâs extraordinary capabilities, he canât guarantee obtaining one.
After all, who can predict the future~
As the outstanding "children" continuously entered the Senior Officer Improvement Academy.
The heart of the Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao was getting numbed by constant shock, and its beautiful phoenix eyes widened and never recovered, making the entire artifact spirit seem dazed and wooden, unsure of when it would snap out of it.
The Wang clan members present were gradually getting excited seeing this scene, even Wang Shouzhe couldnât help feeling a bit exhilarated.
Now, the Wang family is truly a gathering of outstanding talents.
