Qiangu Zhangting: Soul Beasts Are Just...

"Oh~ I'm quite curious as well. As one of the Spirit Pagoda's Four Great Spirit Messengers, what are Qiangu Spirit Messenger's views on the Soul Beast Clan? And what stance do you take regarding the 'Soul Beast Captivity Project'?"

The surrounding gazes grew increasingly focused. Even Fu Xuan paused what she was doing, her Orange Gold eyes turning toward Qiangu Zhangting. Clearly, she wanted to hear his answer as well.

Fors held a glass of juice, a faint, ambiguous smile on her lips, as though she had anticipated this question long ago.

Under everyone's scrutiny, especially when he caught Gu Yuena's gaze upon him, Qiangu Zhangting's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He instantly realized that this was not merely a clash of opinions, but also a perfect opportunity to display his vision and boldness before the woman he loved.

He subconsciously adjusted his collar, straightened his back, and let a composed smile spread across his face. After clearing his throat, he slowly began, "There is no denying that Soul Beasts were once part of the continent's ecosystem. For us Soul Masters to break through, we need to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings. If Soul Beasts were ever to go extinct, the profession of Soul Master would inevitably decline."

"But the times create heroes. The Spirit Pagoda's first Tower Master, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, discovered this problem and thus created the Soul Spirit Contract, greatly alleviating the crisis of Soul Beast extinction."

"It was precisely because Soul Spirits existed that we human Soul Masters could gradually overwhelm the Soul Beasts and thoroughly become the continent's masters. Likewise, it was because of the Soul Spirit Contract left behind by Spirit Ice Douluo that we successors could build upon it and carry out new research."

"Wait!"

Fu Xuan frowned slightly
