Do you understand the Angel God, or do I?
The Spirit Hall's predecessor, the Church, was founded on the belief in the Angel God.
The Angel God's achievement was leading humanity to eliminate the Evil Soul Beast and securing living space for humankind.
From this perspective, the Hunting Ring Method can be seen as the legal basis of the Spirit Hall, and changing this is obviously a very dangerous thing.
The Spirit Hall is currently the authority in the Soul Master World, but if the Hunting Ring Method is changed to the Ring Expansion Method, and combined with the current Soul Pact Method, where will the Spirit Hall's authority lie?
How can the Spirit Hall recruit people now?
In reality, even reducing the weight of foreign language subjects faces a lot of resistance, let alone directly subverting the legal foundation here. Chen Feng is still just a delicate flower and cannot withstand the destruction of the Spirit Hall.
The Ring Expansion Method might be able to circumvent public acceptance due to the obvious benefits of the Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring, but the Soul Pact Method is like dancing on the sensitive nerves of the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, we must come up with a solution.
Chen Feng did not respond to Ning Rongrong's words immediately. He paced slowly, lost in thought.
Seeing this, the others seemed to understand something and began to discuss Ning Rongrong's suggestion.
They quickly realized the obstacles to the promotion of the Soul Pact Method; the New Order would inevitably affect the Old Order, and disputes and even war would be unavoidable.
"Why don't we just fight them! We already have a conflict with them anyway; that Yan even tried to slander us back then," Ma Hongjun said angrily.
"Kid, I support you." Zhao Wuji gave him a thumbs up.
"Get out of here." Flender shoved Zhao Wuji impatiently, but of course, he couldn't budge him. "They certainly didn't do anything right back then, but what are we going to do against them? With just a few hundred pounds of meat on our backs?"
Zhao Wuji scratched his head and remained silent.
"If you ask me, we need to be cautious about this. You are all bright young people with a promising future. The future belongs to you, so there's no need to rush," Flender said earnestly.
"Hiding one's strength and biding one's time is indeed a good choice." The Grandmaster agreed with Flender ' opinion.
"What's with all this talk of hiding your talents and biding your time? I just can't stand the way you guys are. If you want to do something, just do it. Why worry about everything else?" Liu Erlong said with his arms crossed and a cold snort.
Flender was both amused and exasperated. "Erlong, this isn't the time for you to act on impulse. Our strength is far inferior to the Spirit Hall's; we have no confidence whatsoever."
Liu Erlong curled her lip, "Doesn't the Spirit Hall have any enemies? It's not like it can control everything in the Soul Master World."
She was clearly quite unhappy with Bibi Dong, and her opinion was tinged with personal emotions.
Xiao Wu was in the same boat; she began to consider whether to involve Da Ming Er Ming, as she still remembered the grudge between her mother and A Huan.
The Grandmaster then spoke earnestly, "I don't think we can be so reckless. The Spirit Hall has a profound foundation, and it certainly possesses the legacy of the Angel God. Just considering the Soul Bone alone, they have six Soul Bone with an age of 99,999 years, each passed down for a thousand years. Although they can only be used by the owner of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, once someone can absorb them all, they can simultaneously activate them to the 100,000-year level, thus becoming a god-like being. These six Soul Bone are also known as the Angel God Armor. How can we now contend with such an existence?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Things become complicated once they involve God; they're not something that can be dealt with by mere enthusiasm.
Seeing this, the Grandmaster comforted them, saying, "You don't need to be too discouraged. Your talents are all top-notch, and you may even have the opportunity to touch the realm of gods in the future. It's all uncertain, so there's no need to rush things."
"Grandmaster is right. The Spirit Hall is merely a legacy of the gods, while some of us may become gods in the future. Time is on our side," Dai Mubai said in agreement.
"It's a pity that Xiao Feng developed the magic array, but there's nothing we can do. It goes against the Spirit Hall's angelic beliefs even more than the Ring Expansion Method, so it will probably be difficult to put it into the Academy." Ning Rongrong said, glancing at Chen Feng.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. We may not necessarily be going against the Spirit Hall's Angelic Faith. On the contrary, we may be the supporters of the Angelic Faith."
"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Angel God rose to prominence by killing Soul Beast. Now you've come up with a method to cooperate with Soul Beast. Isn't that rebellion, but rather support?
Hajifeng, what are you talking about?
Seeing everyone's somewhat bewildered expression, Chen Feng smiled and explained, "What was the Angel God's purpose in hunting down the Evil Soul Beast back then? It was to protect humanity and secure living space for them. Hunting was merely a means; protection was the ultimate goal. He didn't indiscriminately slaughter all innocent Soul Beast, did he? And when we researched and developed techniques like the Ring Expansion Method and the Soul Pact Method, were we doing it for our own benefit? No, we did it for the better development of both humanity and Soul Beast, for a brighter future for all of us. Aren't we loyal defenders of the Angel God's ideals?"
These words left everyone completely dumbfounded.
Flender, with a strange expression, leaned close to the Grandmaster's ear and whispered, "This kid is a complete liar."
The Grandmaster smiled slightly. "No, I think he makes a lot of sense."
Flender:?
"By turning a life-or-death struggle into an ideological disagreement under the same banner, he can create a lot of wavering people in the Spirit Hall. At that time, it will be hard to say who truly represents the Angelic Faith." The Grandmaster had already begun to understand the implications.
"Hiss~" Flender gasped, he understood somewhat, "This kid, if he doesn't go down the right path, he'll definitely be a huge menace."
The Grandmaster nodded slightly. "Fortunately, he's on the right path."
The two Adulthood could grasp the deeper meaning in Chen Feng's words, but the other teenagers were somewhat confused. When they thought about what Chen Feng had said, they realized, "Hey, it does seem to make sense."
The Angel God carved out a space for humanity to live, and we are now fighting for a space for humanity to develop. We and the Angel God are actually on the same side.
There's no such thing as Soul Master Revisionism; it's clearly Soul Master developmentalism with new-era characteristics.
Development is the only way forward!
Chen Feng said solemnly, "We should raise high the banner of the Angel God, uphold the faith of the Angel God, and strive for the common greatness of humanity and Soul Beast."
Ma Hongjun excitedly chimed in, "Bro Feng is right! We are the true inheritors of the Angel God's ideology. If the Spirit Hall opposes us, they are opposing the Angel God's ideology and hindering human development. Let's see how people view them then."
Chen Feng stared at him with wide eyes, while Ma Hongjun asked in confusion, "Bro Feng, why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Feng pursed his lips and gave him a thumbs up. "Hongjun, you've grasped the essence of struggle."
First label them, then they choose sides; their tactics are still the same as the old generation.
Although Ma Hongjun didn't quite understand Chen Feng's meaning, he was still very happy. "Right? Boss Dai and the others always say I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid at all. Most of the time I'm quite smart."
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes. "You only get a flash of inspiration occasionally."
Ma Hongjun tossed his head back. "I'm too lazy to talk to someone like you who doesn't understand the essence of struggle."
Dai Mubai:...
Ning Rongrong ignored their argument and asked Chen Feng, "Xiao Feng, do you want to continue developing this magic array?"
"Yes, I call it the Soul Pact Method Array. It has great significance for both humans and Soul Beast, so there is really no reason to give it up."
Chen Feng nodded.
"We're going to promote it within the Academy? Although what you said makes a lot of sense, what if the Spirit Hall is unreasonable and resorts to force?" Ning Rongrong said worriedly.
Chen Feng smiled slightly, "The Spirit Hall is also composed of people, and shouldn't be viewed as a completely unified entity. Since all people have thoughts, I think they will understand right from wrong."
Leaving aside the Soul Pact Method, the Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Ring brought by the Ring Expansion Method alone is enough to make people flock to it; it's hard for anyone not to be tempted by such obvious benefits.
Even though the Spirit Hall is mostly controlled by Old Deng, they still have their own descendants and cannot help but consider their future.
This is a move to use Deng Xiaoping to control Old Deng.
If the Spirit Hall can be divided, they will start to have their own conflicts and may not have the energy to target Chen Feng.
Speculators are everywhere.
Furthermore, Chen Feng clearly remembered that Bibi Dong wanted to destroy the Spirit Hall and the Qian Family, and consequently harbored considerable hatred for the Angel God. So, what would Bibi Dong's attitude be towards Chen Feng, who was using the Angel God's banner but engaging in anti- Angel God behavior—no, it should be said that he was supporting the Angel God?
Chen Feng was very curious.
In the days that followed, Chen Feng continued to study the mysteries of the Soul Pact Method Array.
After confirming the safety, he began inviting reliable individuals with zero Soul Power to conduct experiments. At the same time, he used food or Lightning Yuan Stone to attract weaker Soul Beast to Sunset Forest to see what would happen after the individuals with zero Soul Power underwent Soul Contract.
The result surprised him greatly: those with zero Soul Power Soul Power in Biological Spirit Tool Spirit could not successfully form Soul Contract Soul Contract with Soul Beast whose original Martial Soul was similar to his.
For example, a person whose original Martial Soul is a domestic fowl can form Soul Contract with a bird Soul Beast that is less than a hundred years old and then gain Soul Power.
Although the Soul Power gained was not high, basically only half a level or one level, it was already a remarkable change, because the Soul Contract could now cultivate.
At the same time, Oscar also noticed changes in himself during his cultivation; his cultivation speed was faster than before.
Or to be more precise, he is no longer limited by the slow cultivation speed of Food System Soul Master.
Chen Feng speculated that this was because after he underwent the Soul Contract, he became a Soul Fighting Martial Soul with the Martial Soul of Ironclad Earth Dragon, and naturally he would no longer suffer from the debuff of Food System Soul Master.
Moreover, while Oscar's food has a reduced effect when he eats it, his Dazhuang Earth Dragon cub named Dazhuang does not, and still enjoys the full bonus.
In other words, the three major weaknesses of Food System Soul Master that Chen Feng and the others had analyzed were all solved by the Soul Pact Method.
Upon discovering this, Oscar was utterly astonished by Chen Feng. In his mind, Chen Feng was already quite remarkable for solving one weakness, at most two.
Now that all three shortcomings have been resolved, Oscar really wanted to shout, "I lack nothing!" If it weren't for the sensitive nature of the Soul Pact Method, he would have even wanted to announce this good news to all the Food System Soul Master in the world.
After gradually understanding the effects of the Soul Pact Method, Chen Feng began preparing for the School Opening Ceremony of the New Academy.
Generally, the dean of the Academy would say a few words at such ceremonies, but Flender wasn't very interested in that and gave the opportunity to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng did not refuse, and he prepared two drafts of his speech.
One is more conservative, and the other is more radical. As for which one to use, he plans to decide based on the situation.
In addition, he wrote an article and submitted it to the Newspaper Office of the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, describing the operating model of the New Academy.
In short, the New Academy uses a subject-based teaching model that combines required and elective courses. The Academy has three major specializations: Martial Soul, Soul Guidance, and Rune.
Students can earn academic credits by passing final exams, completing assignments from the Academy, and publishing valuable Thesis during on-campus activities. These credits can be used to exchange for many valuable items, but they can only be held by the recipient and are strictly prohibited from being traded or transferred.
In his submission, Chen Feng briefly mentioned what credits could be exchanged for, including more advanced knowledge, rare materials, pills with different effects, and the qualifications for ordinary people to become Soul Master, as well as high-limit Soul Ring and even Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
The news caused an immediate sensation.
Knowledge, materials, and elixirs are all fine, but is it serious that they can turn ordinary people without Soul Power into Soul Master? And they can even exchange them for Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone?
It's important to know that, apart from this Spirit Master Tournament, no other competition has ever offered Soul Bone as a reward.
The reason why the Spirit Hall brought out Three pieces of Soul Bone this time was obvious to everyone: they were prepared for their own people. That's why, after losing in the Finals, they were willing to cheat in order to take the championship back to their own country. The three ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone were simply too precious.
If Chen Feng hadn't revealed his identity, and Bibi Dong hadn't deliberately taken sides, that matter would have really gone on for a long time.
Now that Chen Feng is saying that one can exchange academic credits for Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in his Academy, the first reaction from the outside world is skepticism.
Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone aren't exactly commonplace. What if someone has enough credits but you don't have one? And if you get a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, why don't you use it yourself? Does that mean you already have all six Soul Bone slots?
Just as the outside world was engrossed in the debate, another piece of news from Chen Feng emerged.
Hydra University admits anyone under the age of thirty from across the continent, regardless of their Soul Master status.
