One of them, his expression excited, suddenly shouted, "Long live the Spirit Hall! Long live His Majesty the Pope!"
Instantly, the audience's emotions were stirred, and the sound echoed throughout the entire Soul Arena.
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen's faces were grim, as if they had eaten three pounds of excrement. Now the Spirit Hall had actually created this Spirit Summoning Tower; in their eyes, it was tantamount to trying to win over some neutral Soul Masters.
Yu Yuanzhen was even more wary of the Spirit Hall's future power; their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's position would be even more precarious.
After all, the Spirit Hall now gave the impression of being ambitious and eager to conquer the continent, which made them deeply uneasy. After all, if they really reached that point, what would become of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan? Surrendering to the Spirit Hall would be abandoning the face and dignity of their ancestors!
The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan would never surrender!
But the one suffering the most right now was Ning Fengzhi.
Because the Spirit Hall is undermining the foundation of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If Qian Xunfeng's words are true, and they really possess the ability to issue spirit rings, then the blow to a support sect like theirs that relies on external forces would be tantamount to destruction.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to offer better treatment to retain and attract neutral spirit masters, potentially tripling their expenses, since spirit rings are growth-oriented.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi himself wasn't sure if tripling the treatment would be enough to retain them.
"Damn the Spirit Hall, with their wolfish ambitions, they're probably already waiting to win over all the spirit masters in the world and unify the continent in the future."
Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water. This Qian Xunfeng was practically trying to destroy their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The key issue was, what if they increased the money and the neutral spirit masters still wouldn't join? Wouldn't that deprive their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School of its long-term means of self-protection?
His generation had two Douluo, Sword and Bone, so they were naturally secure, but what about future generations?
Ning Fengzhi's eyes gradually darkened as he pondered, his resolve to invest in Tang San's path to godhood growing stronger, for he had no way out. He
had thoroughly offended the Spirit Hall; there was no turning back.
"Only godhood! As long as I become a god, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be immortal!"
However, Qian Xunfeng's words quickly plunged Ning Fengzhi's spirits to rock bottom.
"This glory will not be enjoyed alone by our Spirit Hall. The Soul Spirit Tower will open in three years. However, for other families wishing to acquire Soul Spirits, a hundred-year Soul Spirit will only cost 10,000 gold soul coins! A thousand-year Soul Spirit
will cost 100,000 gold soul coins." Although it was 10,000 gold soul coins, it was still a high-value item in the Douyi realm. For a minor baron to have 10,000 gold soul coins in cash was still considered wealthy.
Currently, it was only enough to buy a hundred-year Soul Ring, but this hundred-year Soul Ring possessed growth attributes, unlike ordinary hundred-year Soul Rings that could be easily obtained.
These three years would be a time when everything would be resolved, including the submission of the two great empires and the matter of the petty scoundrel.
Everything should finally be settled.
As for joining the Spirit Hall, the price is based on the length of service.
Those who join at a young age can enter the Spirit Summoning Tower for free, while those with twenty years of service enjoy a 90% discount on purchasing spirit spirits.
Those with ten years of service enjoy a 20% discount, and those with five years enjoy a 30% discount.
Most importantly, these benefits can be passed on to descendants, but with a reduced level of privilege. If it's discovered that the benefits are being used on outsiders, the benefits will be revoked, and the individual will be permanently banned from entering the Spirit Summoning Tower.
Once you've been with the Spirit Hall for a full year, they will guarantee your first three spirit rings. However, if you fail to earn the necessary recognition from spirit spirits, there will be exceptions.
As this news broke, the Soul Masters who had already joined the Spirit Hall stirred with excitement. Some of the older members, already half-buried in the ground, exchanged glances, all seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
It's secure! It's secure!
They had known for decades that following the Spirit Hall meant a promising future, and now it seemed to be true.
The benefits and treatment offered by the Spirit Hall were unmatched by any other force, and there were no restrictions like those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
All one needed to do was abide by the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Code and not betray the Spirit Hall, otherwise they would be hunted down.
But who would be foolish enough to leave the Spirit Hall now, unless they were completely out of their mind?
Only after Qian Xunfeng finished his announcement did he allow Qian Renchuan, Qian Renxue, and the others to step forward and release their intimidating Soul Rings.
At this moment, Hu Yanzhen quietly approached Qian Xunfeng, acting somewhat furtively, and whispered, "Your Holiness, my grandson is about to obtain his soul ring. Take a look."
"Since he's the grandson of Sect Master Hu Yan, his talent is naturally exceptional. Sect Master Hu Yan has helped our Spirit Hall eliminate many evil soul master forces over the years. It's only natural that you acquire a soul spirit."
Qian Xunfeng had no reason to be stingy with forces loyal to the Spirit Hall; after all, he wouldn't stingy with his own people.
Hu Yanzhen, seeing Qian Xunfeng agree so quickly, immediately bowed and thanked him with great joy.
Everyone present offered their congratulations, except for Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, who sat in their seats, seemingly leisurely drinking tea.
In reality, however, they were already furious. The Spirit Hall truly harbored wolfish ambitions and needed to be closely monitored.
Although this soul spirit sounded good, it was definitely related to the Spirit Hall's ambitions, and the three sects would absolutely not absorb this so-called soul spirit.
What if this is a method used by the Spirit Hall to control the continent? If they use Soul Spirits, wouldn't we be powerless to resist?
However, they weren't wrong; Soul Spirits are indeed part of Qian Xunfeng's control over the Douluo Continent.
After all, he is now the master behind the scenes of the Soul Spirit Realm, and almost all the emperors of Soul Spirit races submit to him.
Although Soul Spirits cannot affect Soul Masters due to the rules, he can prevent Soul Masters from obtaining Soul Spirits.
This is equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of Soul Masters' advancement, and even if many forces are dissatisfied, they must have the qualifications to defeat him to have the right to resist.
Unfortunately, no one in the world has yet appeared who can defeat Qian Xunfeng. Once Soul Spirits are prohibited, the only option is to hunt Soul Beasts.
But now, almost 90% of Soul Beasts have been taken into the Soul Spirit Realm, and the number of Soul Beasts on the continent will begin to decrease sharply starting today, all entering the Soul Spirit Realm.
At that time, even a thousand-year-old Soul Beast will be a rare commodity on the Douluo Continent. If one is greedy, one can try hunting ten-thousand-year and one-hundred-thousand-year evil beasts in the future, but there is a high probability that their consciousness will be confused, turning them into bloodthirsty evil Soul Masters.
Therefore, in the future, the Spirit Hall will undoubtedly hold an absolute dominant position, unless a new force capable of creating spirits emerges.
But clearly, Qian Xunfeng will not allow such a force to exist; it will either be absorbed into the existing ranks or personally destroyed by Qian Xunfeng.
