NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 9: Guangling Douluo's Teachings
Xiongshi Douluo thought that Guangling Douluo was good in every way except that he talked too much.
How can you talk so much during a fight?
"They're done fighting."
Xiongshi Douluo suddenly looked forward, "They are coming."
As soon as Xiongshi Douluo finished speaking, Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo appeared beside them. Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo were covered in sweat, and their faces were much redder than before because they were so exhausted that their blood couldn't help but boil. Sweat was beading on their foreheads.
"Master."
Ling Chang'e spoke softly, her eyes falling on Guangling Douluo. Hearing this, Guangling Douluo's brows relaxed and his mood instantly improved.
Guangling Douluo raised an eyebrow and looked at Ling Chang'e, "What's the matter?"
When Guangling Douluo spoke, their eyes all fell on Ling Chang'e. Facing the gazes of the three people, Ling Chang'e said, "Master, I want to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts."
After learning about the soul skills from the Xiongshi Douluo, Ling Chang'e's heart became wild. Everyone has a dream of being a hero when they are young, that's why she also wants this power.
Watching the battle between Guangling Douluo and Qingluan Douluo, Ling Chang'e felt envious. She wanted to become powerful and not have to care about other people's opinions.
She truly made the right choice by choosing the Spirit Hall path.
Guangling Douluo hesitated and said slowly: "Of course, there is no problem. Generally speaking, after awakening the martial soul, one will hunt for spirit rings to allow oneself to embark on the path of a spirit master. I won't take you with me because I want to let your physique rise to a large level before hunting spirit beasts."
"Zhou Miao, the instructor of Wuhun Hall Academy who specializes in Wuhun theory, has proposed a new theory of spirit rings. It is still in the practice stage, but the students who have tried it have affirmed her theory."
"If their physical condition allows, a soul master with innate full soul power can absorb soul rings of more than 600 years. Even if they are not geniuses with innate full soul power, according to her theory, they can absorb soul rings of more than 500 years after purification with medical herbs."
"Martial Soul Theory?"
Now it was Ling Chang'e's turn to be confused. She was not clear about the theory of martial souls, because when she watched Douluo Continent, the theory of martial souls was mainly based on Yu Xiaogang. In other words, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory is the martial soul theory of the Douluo Continent that she knows.
Tang San's soul ring absorption all comes from Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory.
"Are you surprised? This is not surprising in the Spirit Hall. The noble spirit masters of the two empires disdain engaging in spirit theory, as they think it is not profitable. Even if they love the spirit theory, they will not lower their status to engage in researching about martial soul to benefit the common people."
Qingluan Douluo couldn't help but say a few more words, just to let Ling Chang'e understand more. Looking at her well-behaved appearance, a hint of tenderness flashed across Qingluan Douluo's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure.
He is still that cold-blooded boy.
"When the two empires gave up the spirit theory, it meant that the arrogance of the nobility was trampled in the faces of the common people. This is a class contradiction, and it is also a balance that the Spirit Hall wants to maintain. Now the two empires cannot cultivate talented spirit masters, not because their training resources are not good, but because the spirit theory is not good. In addition, in the two empires, the common spirit masters have no chance to stand out, which leads to the poor quality of the spirit masters in the two empires, and they are suppressed by the Spirit Hall."
When Guangling Douluo saw the surprise on Ling Chang'e's face, he began to explain more to Ling Chang'e. This is a conflict between commoners and nobles, as well as a conflict of interests between the two empires and the Spirit Hall.
"I understand."
Ling Chang'e nodded in sudden realization, and she agreed with Guangling Douluo's statement. If the Spirit Hall is unpopular, then there won't be too many civilian spirit masters appearing in the Spirit Hall.
To put it bluntly, the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the two empires is a class conflict, a conflict caused by interests.
The Spirit Hall considers the interests of the common people, while the two empires consider the interests of the nobles.
Ling Chang'e nodded after understanding this.
This is also the reason why no outstanding civilian soul masters appeared in the ten thousand years after Tang San became a god and left Douluo Continent.
It's very simple, all the excellent martial spirits are monopolized.
As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes. Without a powerful martial spirit integrated into one's bloodline, it is difficult to have the opportunity to mutate into a powerful martial spirit.
The advantage of aristocratic spirit masters is that they rely on their social status to obtain powerful spirit master bloodlines, which can then be passed on to the next generation, allowing their descendants to possess powerful martial spirits.
The power of blood ties can be seen in the generations of intermarriage between the Xingluo Empire royal family and the Zhu family.
The reason why the Xingluo Empire's royal family married the Zhu family was because their martial spirits were compatible and they could have a martial spirit fusion skill. This was also the reason why the Zhu family's daughters of all generations had to marry into the royal family and become the crown princess or imperial concubine of the royal family.
In Douluo Continent, martial spirit determines everything and also determines the starting point and end point of the spirit master. A soul master without a powerful martial soul will not stand a chance.
Ling Chang'e was grateful at this moment. She was thankful that her martial soul was the Dendro Goddess Nahida, a powerful martial soul that allowed her to have a say in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
If it weren't for her powerful martial spirit, she wouldn't have caught the eye of the Great Priest of the Spirit Hall and become the apprentice of the Fifth Priest, Guangling Douluo.
Her change in identity shows how much importance the Spirit Hall places on spirits. Compared with the two empires, the Spirit Hall attaches more importance to rules, but the status of soul masters has been improved step by step by the Spirit Hall.
Without the Spirit Hall as a supervision object, the civilian spirit masters of the two empires would not have the opportunity to receive subsidies, let alone infringe on the interests of the nobles. It can be said that the status of soul masters comes from the Spirit Hall.
This is also the reason why the Douluo Continent was full of killings ten thousand years later. Tang San's becoming a god did not save the people from suffering, on the contrary, shattered their only hope and plunged them into deeper darkness.
This is human nature. Ling Chang'e, who had figured it out at this moment, suddenly felt cold all over, and a chill filled her heart.
She found that everything was different when she was in the chess game. Indeed, those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly!
"What do you understand?"
Qingluan Douluo asked coldly.
"The Spirit Hall is greater than the two empires!"
Ling Chang'e said without hesitation, "When it comes to treating soul masters, the Spirit Hall is the best."
"They want to become Spirit Hall's spirit masters, not because the Spirit Hall is good enough, but because it's the lesser evil of the other options. Between the two empires and the Spirit Hall, they chose the Spirit Hall."
"..." Listening to Ling Chang'e's analogy, they fell into silence.
Guangling Douluo looked at Ling Chang'e helplessly, "You can't say this in front of others, otherwise they will be furious."
It's fine to compare the Spirit Hall with the two empires, but being called a lesser evil.
If you say this out loud, you will get beaten.
