What each side thought

Dai Mubai put the device on the boy's arm and then stepped aside.

Then he gestured to Yan.

"That's it? That's too easy!" Yan was taken aback.

But he still stepped forward and handed his Soul Power Test Crystal to the boy.

The boy placed his hand on the crystal again, and to Yan's and everyone else's surprise, the crystal, which had previously shown no reaction, began to emit a faint glow.

Although the light was not bright, it was still there. Even the weakest Soul Power is still Soul Power, and it can elevate a person's status to a higher level, transforming them from an ordinary person into Soul Master.

Upon seeing this scene, the audience erupted in noise. They were truly shocked by what they had witnessed, even more so than the Foundation Building Method of the past.

It's important to know that the audience wasn't just made up of Soul Master; there were also a considerable number of ordinary people present.

In their eyes, Angel God Evil Soul Beast are all secondary; what matters most is enabling them to become Soul Master.

Witnessing an ordinary farm boy possess Soul Power firsthand was enough to drive them mad.

Fortunately, they knew that there were also Lord Soul Master present, so they were able to remain somewhat restrained; otherwise, many people would probably have rushed forward to ask questions by now.

Even so, discussions continued to rise and fall, turning the entire square into a bustling marketplace.

Chen Feng ignored the commotion below. He simply smiled as he watched Yan tap and tinker with the elemental device, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare.

Dai Mubai also wore a smug expression, his face clearly showing his difficulty in maintaining composure.

Seeing the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation looking around like country bumpkins, searching here and there, is such a delightful thing!

It was like drinking fine wine.

Hu Liena, sitting in the audience, was already covering her forehead. She regretted it; she shouldn't have let that guy go up there. He was just making their Spirit Hall lose face.

Xie Yue paused for a moment, then suggested, "How about we kick him out of the Golden Generation?"

Cutting is necessary; otherwise, people will think they're just like Yan, bumpkins.

"We've already made a name for ourselves, how can we cut ties now?" Hu Liena said irritably. "The only solution is to stop taking him on missions from now on."

"That works too," Xie Yue agreed.

It's one thing to embarrass oneself in private, but what kind of occasion is this? Who are these people? It's safe to say that almost every influential force on the continent has sent representatives. This is the Prestige of the foremost Scholar of our time.

In this situation, one should be careful with their words and actions, but Yan, in a fit of temper, insisted on making a fool of himself. Who can he blame for that?

Xie Yue and his group had no choice but to cut their losses and move on.

Yan was unaware that his friendship with the two siblings had already capsized. He was still scratching his head, trying to figure out the device in front of him, while constantly asking the boy questions, even resorting to threats and inducements.

However, even if the boy knew the secrets of the Soul Tempering Method, he wouldn't be able to answer.

The young man knew very well whose coattails he should cling to; being from the same village as Brother Chen Feng was the greatest opportunity of his life, and only a fool wouldn't know to seize it.

Although he had only been here a short time, he had already heard about Brother Chen Feng's achievements. In addition, Bro Feng had given him the opportunity to become Soul Master. No matter how powerful the Spirit Hall was, he could not possibly pay any attention to it.

Although he was young, he understood a bit about social etiquette, after all, he relied on the kindness of others.

The boy's attitude infuriated Yan, but the watchful gaze of Dai Mubai prevented him from making any rash moves. This was the guy who had defeated the Evil Blade Lord during the Finals, and Yan knew the power of the Tiger Claw.

So Yan could only force a smile, glance back at the audience, and then slunk off the stage.

He had no choice but to go down now; when he looked at the area where the Spirit Hall was located, he had clearly felt the goddess's wrath.

After he stepped down, Chen Feng finally spoke up, "Quiet down, everyone, please calm down."

Thanks to his increased Prestige following this presentation, the room quickly quieted down, much to Dugu Bo's regret backstage.

He was there to keep things under control, hoping that a few fools would jump out and cause trouble, but no one did. The only one who did jump out actually acted as a shill, and didn't dare to do anything other than cause trouble.

"Let's thank our friends from the Spirit Hall for their cooperation in the demonstration, and give them a round of applause." Chen Feng clapped lightly with a smile.

The unsuspecting audience applauded enthusiastically, while those in the know watched and laughed.

Yan paused, his face flushing red as he listened to the thunderous applause around him. He saw the applause as a mockery and ridicule, and quickly returned to his seat.

Hu Liena glanced at him but said nothing. Xie Yue, however, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should behave yourself for a while and focus on your cultivation. Don't think about those other things."

Yan's lips moved, but in the end, he remained silent.

After the applause subsided, Chen Feng said loudly, "I imagine everyone had some questions about what happened just now. I can tell you that this is a technique called Soul Tempering Method. As the name suggests, it can gradually Quenching the Tool Spirit, thereby increasing Tool Spirit strength. It can also work on ordinary people without Soul Power. As you all saw, those who had no Soul Power Soul Power a little bit of it, and from then on, they could cultivate and became qualified to become Soul Master."

"Mr. Chen, is this effect temporary? Will my Soul Power disappear after I remove that device?" someone below asked loudly.

"That's a good question. My answer is no. The Quenching effect on the Martial Soul is long-term, but whether it's permanent is still unclear, since the Soul Tempering Method is relatively new." After saying that, Chen Feng gestured to Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai stepped forward and removed the device from the boy's arm, then tested the boy's Soul Power again; the crystal still shone with a faint light.

"What kind of person is qualified to use the Soul Tempering Method?" someone asked impatiently.

"Soul Tempering Method are divided into several levels, roughly corresponding to the different stages of Soul Master. Ordinary people can only use the most basic Soul Tempering Method. Using higher-level techniques rashly could be life-threatening. The most basic Soul Tempering Method doesn't require any special qualifications. I will open a Soul Tempering Shop around this plaza, where people can directly pay to have their Soul Tempering done. As I mentioned before, this will allow more people to enjoy the convenience brought by Soul Power. As for the higher-level Soul Tempering Method, they will be supplied internally and can only be obtained through credits. After all, they are somewhat dangerous, so certain qualifications need to be set," Chen Feng explained.

The ordinary people below the stage immediately felt relieved; all they needed was the most basic soul tempering, which had no high barriers to entry.

As for the money, there's always hope if you save it up; this is your chance to become Soul Master!

There wasn't even a way to spend money like this before.

However, while some are relieved, others are worried. Chen Feng clearly stated that the Soul Tempering Method only works on Tool Spirit, so what about Biological Spirit? Is there no way for them to succeed?

A bold person asked, Chen Feng seemed hesitant, but still replied, "There are naturally methods related to Biological Spirit, but there are still some problems with this method at this stage, so let's wait patiently."

Oh? Many people's eyes lit up. There are methods for creating Biological Spirit too? Doesn't that mean ordinary people have a chance to become Soul Master?

Mr. Chen truly lives up to his name!

The Soul Master, however, had varying expressions. If everyone had the chance to become a Soul Master Soul Master, wouldn't they no longer be special and only be able to rely on their own abilities?

This is naturally no problem for Soul Master who are already quite talented, but it's not a good thing for those with average talent.

In the past, because of their status as Soul Master, they were generally looked up to in most places, and some unscrupulous people could even use this status to bully men and women. In the future, they probably won't have such treatment anymore.

We're all Soul Master, so who's more noble than whom?

But these people didn't dare to complain. Judging from the atmosphere, if anyone dared to say anything bad about Chen Feng and it got overheard, they would definitely incur the wrath of the crowd and might even be beaten to death on the spot by the enraged mob.

In the area where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was located, Yu Luomian sighed and said, "He really doesn't need to focus his attention on these ordinary people. It's a waste of his talent. What he should be doing is researching our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a high-level Martial Soul. If he could develop a method to enhance all kinds of high-level Martial Soul, he would definitely become a guest of honor for all the major powers."

Yu Tianheng, standing nearby, held a different opinion. "Second Grandfather, I think this is what makes Mr. Chen so great. He didn't focus on any one person or force, but rather looked at everyone, and generously shared his research findings. That's the demeanor of Scholar, just like Uncle did back then."

Yu Tianxin raised an eyebrow. "You don't actually want to get into this Academy, do you?"

"Why not?" Yu Tianheng retorted.

"No, what could you do there? You're definitely not qualified to be a teacher, and could you even bring yourself to be a student?"

"What's so shameful about it?"

Yu Tianxin was shocked. "Not to mention that the dean of this Academy is Chen Feng, Dai Mubai and the others can't possibly be students. Are you really going to become a student under these people your own age?"

Yu Tianheng remained calm. "Since Dai Mubai and the others can do it, I believe that with my abilities, I'll be able to reach their level sooner or later once I'm inside."

Yu Tianxin stared blankly for a long time with her mouth agape before finally giving a thumbs up.

"Fine, you're awesome."

In the area where the Heaven Dou Empire's representative was located, Qian Renxue looked at Chen Feng with admiration in her eyes. In her heart, only a man as radiant as him... only a boy was qualified to stand with her.

Not far behind her, Shui Yue'er whispered in her sister's ear, "Sister, what kind of technique do you think that Biological Soul Master can use?"

Shui Bing'er shook her head slightly, "I can't think of that."

This wasn't actually her true thought. In fact, she had a vague feeling that the so-called Biological Soul Master method was probably not problematic as Chen Feng said, but rather somewhat sensitive and inconvenient to use.

Some time ago, Shui Bingji went to the Extreme North again. This time she was alone. After arriving in the Extreme North, she successfully met that figure using a special means of communication.

During her conversation with that person, she was surprised to discover that the method she had used was actually created by Chen Feng.

It was at this moment that Shui Bing'er realized the enormous secret hidden beneath the iceberg that was Chen Feng.

However, she had no intention of leaking the information, because she had already vowed to dedicate her life to pursuing the mysteries of ice and snow. In a sense, she could be considered a fellow traveler of Chen Feng.

"Father, do you think we should start an Academy too?" Shui Bing'er suddenly suggested to her father.

"Run Academy? What will it teach?"

"Just like Hydra University," Shui Bing'er said with a smile.

"Then what's the difference between them?" Shui Wuyue, puzzled.

"Of course there's a difference. Hydra University is indeed very good, but it still has one drawback, which is its location," Shui Bing'er explained.

Geopolitics?

"That's right, its geographical location means there are some things it can't take care of, and that's what we need to make up for."

"You mean... Ice Attribute Martial Soul?"

"That's right. This place is too far from the Extreme North, so we can build a university near Winter City that specifically recruits water or Ice Attribute Soul Master, just like Skywater Academy. We can even directly absorb Skywater Academy," Shui Bing'er said.

"The problem is, we don't know what this university teaches." Shui Wuyue frowned.

"So, we'll have to rely on Yue'er for this." Shui Bing'er patted her younger sister's shoulder.

"Huh? Sister, you know perfectly well about my relationship with Mubai. Aren't you putting me in a difficult position? I won't do such a thing." Shui Yue'er resolutely refused.

Shui Bing'er laughed, "Did you think I asked you to steal information? What kind of person do you take me for?"

So you want to...

"Just be direct with Mr. Chen, no need to sneak around. Tell him what I'm going to do, and he'll understand."

Shui Yue'er was stunned. "No way! You stole things so openly? Right in front of people? How dare you be so brazen?"

The thief not only turns off the lights, but also hides from everyone!

Shui Bing'er was too lazy to explain anything to her silly sister; she just needed to follow her instructions and deliver the message.

She had already seen what Chen Feng wanted to do; it would be a completely new order, different from the Old Order that had been passed down for many years.

Although Chen Feng kept saying that the Angel God was noble and that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Angel God, she, who knew the inside story, could tell at a glance that he was planning to create a new Spirit Hall.

Or it could be called the New Spirit Hall, but rather the New Martial Soul University.

In short, Chen Feng wanted to establish a new relationship between humans and Soul Beast, and Shui Bing'er strongly supported this.

She now regards Li as her teacher, which has greatly changed her view of the Soul Beast group.

Therefore, she plans to help Chen Feng fill in the gaps in the New Order's coverage, hoping to form a joint force in the future.
