"Yu Chen, are you... serious?"
"Exactly, this is not something to joke about casually."
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen's expressions changed drastically after hearing him speak.
When they recovered, they spoke with serious faces, reminding him again.
Compared to the tension they displayed at this moment,
Yu Chen, however, maintained an expression of complete confidence.
He didn't get angry when he spoke, but instead, he smiled and asked in return,
"Do I look like I'm joking with you right now?"
"But..."
If it were anyone else saying this,
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi would absolutely not care so much, and would even scoff at it.
But precisely because it was Yu Chen speaking this time, and not someone else,
their expressions became even more peculiar at this moment.
They were now caught in a double bind of rationality and skepticism regarding Yu Chen's past achievements.
Fortunately, this pain and entanglement did not last for long.
Yu Chen had already smiled and interrupted their thoughts, adding,
"There's no 'but' about it. There's an old saying that goes, 'Facts speak louder than words.' Instead of wasting our breath explaining too much, why don't we just experiment and see the results directly?"
"Experiment?"
Yu Yuanzhen and the other man were both stunned when they heard him say that.
Yu Chen immediately nodded solemnly and continued to add,
"Yes, aren't you all disbelieving that ships made of iron cannot float in water? If that's the case, then we can control the variables, make warships out of the same weight of wood and iron, and then see what the results are? Won't the truth of the matter be self-evident then?"
His words were utterly convincing.
After he finished speaking, it wasn't just Yu Yuanzhen and the other man on the heavenly curtain.
All the onlookers below the heavenly curtain were also convinced, nodding in earnest.
"It seems to be the case."
"Yu Chen's method is better. Whether it's a donkey or a horse, just pull it out and let it run, and it's done. It's more effective than anything you say."
Of course, while some were optimistic, there were naturally also pessimists expressing their worries.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing of Shrek Academy were such examples.
"But... will Yu Chen's method ultimately lead to a result favorable to him?"
And seeing her companions reveal such expressions,
Ning Rongrong naturally couldn't sit still and spoke up immediately, adding,
"Does that even need to be said? Otherwise, is Yu Chen an idiot, specifically picking up a stone to smash his own foot here?"
She spoke with a face full of excitement, clearly intending to continue adding more.
But before she could finish her words, Tang San, who had long been at odds with her, completely lost his composure.
He immediately spoke first, taking over the conversation.
He coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, that's not necessarily true. In this day and age, are there few examples of people who were overly complacent and ended up with a miserable outcome?"
The two had been bickering for so long that they had already completely fallen out.
So, hearing Tang San say this now,
Ning Rongrong didn't hold back at all.
Without thinking, she immediately retorted, saying,
"Indeed, there are many, but I remember most of them are surnamed Tang. As for others like that, to be honest, I haven't seen many."
Lies never hurt, only truth is a swift blade.
As soon as these words came out, Tang San directly broke down, slamming the table and standing up, pointing at Ning Rongrong's nose and questioning her.
"Ning Rongrong, what do you mean by that!?"
And facing his anger and questioning at this moment,
Ning Rongrong did not back down in the slightest.
Her chin was now raised.
Her face still carried a hint of arrogance, and she replied,
"The literal meaning, what's wrong? If you don't want others to know, don't do it. Is there anything I said that isn't a fact?"
Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong, who was full of arrogance in front of him.
Then he looked at Sword Douluo behind him, who was constantly watching him with cold eyes.
At this moment, he only felt a surge of grief and indignation with nowhere to vent.
After a long silence, he could only laugh in extreme anger, saying several 'good's, and then added,
"Good! What a good fact. Then let's wait and see. I don't believe that there's truly someone in this world who is omniscient and omnipotent, knowing everything."
After saying that, he turned his head and no longer argued excessively with Ning Rongrong.
Instead, his gaze fell more on the heavenly curtain above his head.
Ning Rongrong's choice at this moment was similar to Tang San's.
However, compared to Tang San's anger and defiance at the moment,
her gaze towards the sky was more of anticipation and confidence.
And facts proved that Yu Chen also lived up to her trust.
The test results were even more one-sided than Ning Rongrong had initially expected.
It seemed like a showdown between iron and wood blocks.
However, when they were truly made to the same weight and the area was increased, the results were vastly different.
It shouldn't even be said that they were evenly matched.
It should be described as a crushing victory.
Looking at the iron ship now, floating unsteadily in the lake.
Then looking at the wooden block that sank directly to the bottom of the water without a single bubble,
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi were both dumbfounded.
However, if one were to speak of shock at this moment, the most shocked was clearly not them, but Tang San.
"This... how could this be?"
"That's iron! How can iron show more buoyancy than wood in water? Did Yu Chen secretly tamper with something?"
Tang San's face turned pale when he saw this scene.
This time, it was no exaggeration; he truly began to doubt his understanding of life.
Seeing the confusion and bewilderment on his face at this moment,
Ning Rongrong, however, showed no intention of letting him off the hook.
She immediately added and asked,
"This is already irrefutable evidence, like a mountain, laid out before you."
"What, Tang San, even at this point, you still harbor illusions?"
"I..."
Tang San was speechless.
He didn't know how to reply, but at a crucial moment, Liu Erlong spoke up to help him out of the predicament.
She mediated, telling both sides to say less for now.
Don't completely fall out and hurt each other's feelings over such trivial matters.
Of course.
Though she said so on the surface,
deep down,
Liu Erlong clearly had her own leanings.
And the one she wanted to help, naturally, was none other than
Tang San.
After all, no matter what, Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's beloved disciple.
And he was also the future God King.
Moreover, the numerous times the heavenly curtain exposed his past mistakes, causing her to lose face,
she had all attributed to Yu Chen.
Since Ning Rongrong was Yu Chen's fan this time,
in Liu Erlong's eyes, she naturally stood on the opposite side of her.
It was precisely for all these reasons
that Liu Erlong, who was speaking to persuade, maintained her impartial attitude for less than three seconds.
He was biased.
Although he confirmed the possibility of using steel to manufacture ships.
But then he spoke, also expressing his own views.
He was still not particularly optimistic about Yu Chen's easy conquest of Sea God Island using this matter.
"Senior Liu Erlong, what do you mean by this?"
"Have you also been blinded by anger, losing your most basic judgment of things? Iron ships, if successful, will definitely be more resistant to sea winds and waves than wooden ones, isn't that a foregone conclusion?
And they can be built even larger.
All of this proves that Big Brother Yu Chen's previous judgment was not wrong.
If he really transports Civilian Soul Guidance Devices to Sea God Island,
After the transportation costs are compressed to the limit, the price of the spirit tool will not rise too much.
Do you think that the Civilian Soul Guidance Devices manufactured by Yu Chen cannot win the hearts of the common people of Sea God Island, and cannot gain their recognition?"
Hearing her say that,
Ning Rongrong was naturally displeased, and immediately turned her head, angrily questioning the other party.
Liu Erlong, upon hearing this, naturally found it difficult to speak her true thoughts.
She could only give a dry laugh.
Deliberately putting on a selfless appearance, she replied again.
Of course.
This time, he was not entirely shooting blanks.
At present, he also stated his reasons and insights.
"Of course not."
"I have no doubt about whether the Civilian Soul Guidance Device manufactured by Yu Chen this time can become popular on Sea God Island.
However, whether Civilian Soul Guidance Devices can become popular on Sea God Island and whether Yu Chen can unify the entire Sea God Island without shedding blood are clearly two different things, okay? How can they be confused?"
"Although Yu Chen's business model sounds plausible and highly feasible, it still sounds different from reality.
Didn't you notice that this has been his one-sided statement from beginning to end? He has never truly verified how feasible this business model is."
"A business model that has never been verified before. Isn't it perfectly natural for me to maintain a certain degree of skepticism towards it?"
Hearing him say this, Tang San, who had just been dejected, became excited again.
He immediately spoke up in agreement.
"That's right, Liu Erlong's words are not false at all. If you want us to believe, you can, but show us real things, instead of just talking on paper like this!"
And at this moment, facing his doubts,
Ning Rongrong also did not explain anything further.
Because above the heavenly curtain.
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi said similar words.
However, compared to Liu Erlong's disapproval and disparagement,
The meaning of Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi's words seemed much friendlier.
Right now, it was just one idea.
That is, they hoped that Yu Chen would plan carefully before acting, and absolutely not act rashly, directly going all-in to build warships or anything like that.
After all, putting everything else aside,
Just this alone is an astonishing expense.
"This matter is of great importance, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, if you are not careful, there is a very high probability that you will lose everything!"
"That would truly be a loss that outweighs the gain."
Yu Yuanzhen spoke solemnly.
Although his expression was serious at this moment, his words were full of deep concern for Yu Chen.
Feeling the concern in the other party's words,
A smile couldn't help but appear on Yu Chen's face.
Then he spoke, and immediately reassured him.
"Father, don't worry, I am not such a reckless person. Even if I am to conquer Sea God Island this time, there is no rush. I must first practice with another force."
Hearing him say this, Yu Yuanzhen's hanging heart finally settled back into his stomach.
Then he looked up and couldn't help but ask him again with curiosity, saying,
"It's naturally best if you can think that way, but I just don't know who your current practice target is."
"Exactly. Is there anyone else besides Spirit Hall who has offended you without realizing it?"
Ning Fengzhi was also surprised by his side.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Yu Chen didn't hide anything.
He immediately smiled and began to explain.
"Have you two forgotten the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Clear Sky Sect?"
"Good heavens, you still haven't forgotten that fellow Tang Hao."
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the other person immediately came back to their senses, feeling a bit amused and frustrated.
Of course, at this moment, complaining was complaining.
No one thought that what Yu Chen was doing was wrong.
After all, who hasn't been young? And who hasn't had the idea of seeking revenge for grievances?
Compared to the sudden realization and understanding that flashed in their eyes,
Yu Chen's own thoughts were clearly much purer.
The choice of Clear Sky Sect as a training target at this moment,
Besides being because
He had already made a complete plan when doing business with Ning Fengzhi earlier.
It was also because Yu Chen always prided himself on being a very trustworthy person.
When doing things, if you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you get hit, you must stand at attention.
Since he had said before that he would destroy the Clear Sky Sect!
Then he couldn't go back on his word.
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi couldn't read minds.
Naturally, they had no idea what Yu Chen was thinking at the moment.
However, since Yu Chen wanted to use the Clear Sky Sect as a whetstone this time to verify whether his so-called bloodless strategy would work,
Everyone naturally became a bit more serious.
They earnestly helped him discuss and consult on related matters.
Among them, Ning Fengzhi showed the most excitement and seriousness.
After briefly explaining Yu Chen's previous plan to Yu Yuanzhen,
He immediately turned around and asked Yu Chen about the relevant details.
He wanted to know exactly how he planned to use this whetstone to sharpen the steel knife in his hand.
He thought he would get a detailed plan from him at this moment.
But he didn't expect that as soon as these words fell,
Yu Chen spoke up in the next moment.
He actually gave an answer that was completely beyond their expectations.
There was no specific plan this time.
The general policy was just four words: full acceleration!
He planned to do it within half a month.
To fully deploy military spirit tools across the entire Douluo Continent.
"What did you say, directly accelerate? Starting with the promotion of military spirit tools, isn't that a bit too risky?"
"Exactly, putting everything else aside. How to carry out subsequent promotional work is an extremely troublesome and difficult thing, okay?"
Hearing him say that,
Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi were naturally startled again, and after recovering, they immediately spoke up to remind Yu Chen.
