Chapter 1048: Seeking New Opportunities for Change
"Mr. Lu is a reformist within the Wilderness School?"
Chen Chuan understood something. It seemed like he was defending himself, but in fact he had already abandoned the original methods of the Wilderness School and no longer practiced in the traditional ways of those schools.
Is this wilderness school still wilderness school?
Maybe there's only one name left.
Lu Tuo admitted openly, "If you put it that way, I am a reformist. The inherent philosophy of the Wilderness School is no longer suitable for today. I feel that if we don't reform, the Wilderness School will not last long.
In fact, in the past, the Wilderness School did not live in the wild all the time as some people in the school claimed. If our predecessors had not served the old dynasty and had not had good relations with the upper class, could they have survived to this day?
They are very adaptable. I am just following their example. But in the past, they only experienced the change of dynasties, while now we are facing the change of the world, which is a greater test for people today."
He said somewhat helplessly, "There are still some negative voices within the faction, believing that before we find a way to reform, the Great Collision will probably come, and that our Wilderness Faction, far away from the World Ring, is doomed to perish.
It seems like there's no difference between changing it or not, so why bother with all this? It's useless to start a conflict with one's own people. It's better to wait for the world to change and then let it be.
Chen Chuan does not agree with this statement. When faced with a major crisis, innovation is always better than conservatism. Doing nothing is actually the worst option.
What's worse than this is doing nothing yourself, but instead forcing those who are willing to do something to give up their ideas and make the same choice as you.
Lu Tuo sighed and said, "We've actually thought about just not caring about anything and just focusing on ourselves. What does it have to do with us if others want to do something? But after all, we can't let go of our feelings for our faction.
Even if reforms don't work, once we've set a precedent, more people will be able to go out without constraints and do things they couldn't do or even dared to think about before."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, watching the jumping fish in the distance. Many people were holding on, while many others had fallen off, looking utterly miserable. He said, "This alone isn't enough to solve the problem. The best outcome is that some people within the faction will split away, while others will cling to their own opinions and become even more conservative."
Lu Tuo admitted, "Yes, that's right. So someone in our group suggested that before the big bombardment, the best way would be to rely on a certain sect, such as the Five Great Sects, if they are willing to accept us.
This way, no matter how we change, as a whole, we still remain one when we depend on others.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's one idea. Which school do you think is good, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Tuo showed a serious expression and said, "We have thought about this. If we want to join, the implant faction will definitely not consider it.
"We wilderness people value nature. While not all implant-based people use implants, our philosophies are vastly different, and many of them are technicians," he said self-deprecatingly, "I'm sure they wouldn't look down on us roughnecks."
After a pause, he continued, "The Fusion Faction..." He shook his head, "Although many people in the faction have considered it, some of them are crazy in my opinion. It's really hard to say which side they will stand on in the end.
As for the Jingxiu Sect, that's even more unnecessary. They're full of elites, and they value origin and bloodline. They probably wouldn't even bother to look at us, who walk barefoot on the ground all day long."
Chen Chuan asked, "What about the natural instinct group? The natural instinct group should be suitable for you, right?"
The most unique of the five major factions is the Nature Faction. They emphasize following one's own nature and believe that everyone should respect their own heart and seek everything they need. This school places great emphasis on the self. As long as you agree with this concept, you can join, even if you are from another faction.
This kind of philosophy makes most members of the faction very casual. They never care about a person's origin and background, and there are no rules to restrain others.
This may be very suitable for the Wilderness School, as some of the concepts seem to be very similar.
Lu Tuo paused for a moment, "Although the Natural Faction doesn't have many rules, they are too free and uninhibited...
I've also heard from seniors that some people in the Innate School hold very extreme ideologies, even more extreme than other factions. They believe we should be assimilated into the world beyond, that humans should be eliminated, and that we should proactively embrace a transformative future.
He shook his head and said, "We are seeking refuge and don't want to join any faction with too much uncertainty."
Chen Chuan nodded and asked to liberate his nature and live out his true self. When he did whatever he wanted to the extreme, then society and the world would have nothing to do with him. He could do whatever he wanted. It was okay for ordinary people, but it would be a disaster for those who possessed powerful military force.
Therefore, the natural instinct faction has been suppressed since the Grand Alliance period, but that kind of thing is very attractive to a group of people and provides fertile ground for conspirators. It is currently widely present in countries around the world.
Moreover, this faction happens to contain many experts, so you have to pay attention to it. Currently, the Natural Faction in Dashun is relatively honest and not so extreme, but it has considerable influence in the Western Continent and the Linax Federation.
Lu Tuo then continued, "So the only option we have right now is the Purists."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "What's the reason?"
Lu Tuo said, “Because the purists don’t care where you come from. As long as you are willing to fight against those outsiders, you are a like-minded person.
This is something we can accept.”
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Have you found a way yet?"
Lu Tuo said, "We are powerless and have little influence. We originally planned to persuade the elders in the sect to negotiate with some of the higher-ups in the Pure Sect, but this has proven difficult and has not been able to move forward. So we have to find a way ourselves."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and realized that this person must not know his identity as the head of the Purity Faction branch. Talking to him about this now might just be an opportunity to talk to the highest-ranking government official he could get in touch with.
Perhaps he hoped that if they could have a good conversation, he could perhaps get an introduction through him. After all, as a fighter, the people and things he dealt with on a daily basis were not something the other party could easily come into contact with.
This is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities.
Although the other party showed his willingness, he was not in a hurry to win him over, nor did he say that he was a member of the pure faction. This kind of matter involves many aspects and cannot be decided on a whim.
Even if the Wilderness Faction really joins in, how to manage and restrain them will be a big problem first, and the reactions of the government and other factions must also be taken into consideration. After all, even if the Wilderness Faction is not one of the five major factions, it is still a not-so-small faction.
Moreover, he was traveling, so he didn't want to think about these things too much. But he was free anyway, so he gestured for Lu Tuo to sit down and chat slowly, but they then talked about some lighter topics.
Only then did I understand that these people were taking advantage of their own strengths. Every year they would organize some thrill-seeking dignitaries to go on adventures in the wilderness, so that they could make friends with some upper-class people and wealthy people. It seemed that even if they didn't go through me, they could always find a way.
Then they talked about the Wilderness School's fighting skills. When they got to some in-depth points, Lu Tuo demonstrated it to him on the spot.
This guy had no intention of keeping it secret, because he knew very well that his skills were basically not good enough in front of a fighter, and perhaps all he could show were some characteristics and concepts of his school.
Chen Chuan watched for a while. He had seen a fight between the Wilderness School and the Implantation School before, which was disrupted by Wei Wusheng. From his current perspective, the performance of the two was unsatisfactory, but he could see something different in the moves of the person in front of him.
He said, "Do you have any techniques from Yingzhou in your Wilderness Sect?"
Lu Tuo was startled for a moment, then showed admiration and said, "Director Chen really has a keen eye.
Among our predecessors in the Wilderness School, there was once a boxing master from Yingzhou, who incorporated some of Yingzhou's techniques into our local school.
Later, because of this, many of us were beginners from Yingzhou, and we still have contacts with the Linax Federation.
Chen Chuan said, "From what I know, the remaining primitive people in the Federation are not living very well."
"Yes, after all, their country and tribe were destroyed long ago," Lu Tuo said. "The Dashun government once proposed to accept and resettle them, but they were unwilling to leave their homeland. Well, that senior once published a book, and there was this sentence in it:
'If we just leave, who will think this was originally our land? '"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I am very interested in your senior. Can you tell me about him?"
"sure."
Lu Tuo was eager to talk more with a fighter like Chen Chuan. This was an opportunity that he would never find under normal circumstances, but he happened to have it this time.
He is very talkative and eloquent. He speaks with great emotion and vividly describes many things in the past.
However, he knew his limits. Seeing that the discussion was almost over, he did not stay here. Instead, he took a book from a package he was carrying and said, "This is a book written by that senior. A lot of it is about his experiences in Yinglu.
Some of what I said came from this. I've been reading this book for a long time. If Director Chen doesn't mind, I'll give it to you."
Chen Chuan said hello, and before the man left, he simply added his contact information. Then he took the book and read it slowly. Maybe because the man was also a fighter, he was quickly absorbed in it.
