Martial Soul Hall Reform (Part 3): Soul Master Subsidies Must Be Rigorous

Seeing Demon Bear Douluo bring over a chair, Qian Daoliu immediately felt that Demon Bear was a comrade worthy of trust.

"Elder Demon Bear, you gave me your own chair, so what will you do?" Qian Renyu looked at Demon Bear Douluo, who had delivered the seat, and asked.

"Young Master, please do not worry."

"Young Master, you are currently at an age where you are growing, so you must not tire yourself out."

"My skin is thick and my flesh is rough, standing for a while is nothing," Demon Bear Douluo said, patting his chest.

"That doesn't seem right. Let me go outside and bring another chair for you," Qian Renyu said.

"Young Master, how could such a trivial matter trouble you to do it yourself? I'll go."

The one who spoke was none other than Demon Bear Douluo's good partner, Ghost Leopard Douluo.

No sooner had the words left Ghost Leopard Douluo's mouth than the door to the conference room opened; just as it was about to close, it opened again.

Ghost Leopard Douluo had already brought the chair back.

Qian Renyu thought to himself, he truly lives up to his reputation as an agility-attack system Title Douluo.

The other elders thought to themselves, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, they really have no shame.

Without further ado, everyone took their seats as hosts and guests.

Qian Renyu sat between Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, and inadvertently, he locked eyes with Pope Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong looked at the Qian Renyu before her and thought, so this is the illegitimate son that animal Qian Xunji had outside. Very good, truly very good.

Meanwhile, Qian Renyu looked at Bibi Dong and thought, Pope Bibi Dong, she truly lives up to her reputation; she is indeed beautiful.

Although she was already a married woman, it only added a unique charm to her, making her even more attractive.

The greatest hero of the ages is Cao Gong, The greatest overlord under heaven is Mengde.

The ancients truly did not deceive me.

"Great Elder, I wonder if there is any important matter to announce by convening this elder meeting today?" Bibi Dong asked the Great Elder, Qian Daoliu, who was on her left.

"I am not the one presiding over this elder meeting," Qian Daoliu said, then looked at Qian Renyu, who was sitting beside him.

Seeing Qian Daoliu's gaze, Qian Renyu immediately stood up, bowed to Bibi Dong, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, I am the one who wished to organize and convene this elder meeting."

Bibi Dong looked at this illegitimate son of Qian Xunji before her, with the standard golden hair of the Angel family, and in his features, she could faintly see the shadow of Qian Xunji. Her heart could not help but burn with rage, and she said coldly, "Then please, Young Master Qian, begin presiding."

"Many thanks, Your Majesty the Pope." Qian Renyu did not care at all about the dissatisfaction in Bibi Dong's tone.

However, Qian Daoliu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon sensing Bibi Dong's icy tone. He glanced at her but said nothing, then returned to resting with his eyes closed.

Just as Qian Renyu was about to speak, suddenly, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.

Qian Renyu felt surprised; who was so good at reading the room?

He looked around and discovered that the one leading the applause was none other than Demon Bear.

Qian Renyu thought to himself, Demon Bear Douluo, your conscience is truly vast.

Qian Daoliu thought to himself, Demon Bear Douluo, his future is likely very bright.

The other elders thought to themselves, what did Demon Bear Douluo eat today? How did he suddenly become so enlightened?

Bibi Dong thought to herself, why don't I have such sensible subordinates when I hold meetings? Thinking of this, she looked with slight dissatisfaction at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had already anticipated Bibi Dong's anticipation. At this moment, they were nodding their heads like chicks pecking at rice, refusing to respond to Bibi Dong, yet their hands continued to applaud.

Just like that, the applause rang out for quite a while without stopping.

Consequently, Qian Renyu signaled with both hands—OK, that's enough, the applause can stop.

He then began to speak:

"Everyone, our Martial Soul Hall has been passed down for ten thousand years. Times are developing and society is progressing, but some aspects of our Martial Soul Hall have become somewhat out of step with the times. Even worse, some people use the banner of Martial Soul Hall to swindle and bluff, relying on the influence of Martial Soul Hall to act recklessly and bully the good."

"As the saying goes, the trend of the world is mighty and vast; those who follow it prosper, and those who resist it perish. We must adapt to the times and make changes. That is why we have this meeting today."

"Our meeting today is to discuss how to solve these problems. I hope everyone can speak without reservation and offer valuable suggestions for the prosperity of Martial Soul Hall."

"Please rest assured, everyone; speak your minds freely. Our Martial Soul Hall will never punish anyone for their words."

"Below, I will start by offering a few of my own personal suggestions to spark further discussion."

"The first point is something everyone knows: every month, our Martial Soul Hall distributes benefits to low-level spirit masters so that they can better cultivate and live."

"Some of them do indeed use the subsidies from our Martial Soul Hall to cultivate."

"However, there are also many who are idle all day, living off our handouts and relying on the welfare subsidies of our Martial Soul Hall to get by."

"There are even some who only speak well of our Martial Soul Hall when they are receiving our subsidies, but once they have taken them, they turn around and speak ill of us."

"This is the classic case of eating from the bowl and cursing the mother once the bowl is set down."

[For instance, Ma Moujun and Ao Mouka only remember the kindness of Martial Soul Hall when they are receiving spirit master subsidies.]

"Worse still, there are those who take our welfare subsidies and, not only do they not speak well of our Martial Soul Hall, but they actually treat us as their enemies."

"Just like the four affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect in the past, such as the current Strength Clan, Defense Clan, and Breaking Clan. If you all have the time, you can go and inquire about how they speak of our Martial Soul Hall."

[Especially that Strength Clan, they can truly be called the loyal dogs of the Clear Sky Sect. When the patriarch of the Strength Clan, Titan, saw Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, he immediately knelt down to pay respects to his young master. As for that Tang Hao, he calls him master with every breath. They have absolutely no shame left.]

"Furthermore, our Martial Soul Hall should also impose age restrictions on soul masters who collect welfare subsidies. Otherwise, if someone relies on their lack of talent and low cultivation to specifically freeload Gold Soul Coins from our Martial Soul Hall, wouldn't that make us complete fools?"

"Take a certain person for example: his Innate Soul Power was merely level 0.5, but he seems to have figured out that our Martial Soul Hall provides welfare subsidies to soul masters under level 30, so he deliberately keeps his lifelong cultivation from exceeding level 29."

"He is not young anymore, yet his skin is quite thick, always relying on his insufficient cultivation to come to our Martial Soul Hall and freeload Gold Soul Coins."

Oh, Bibi Dong finally understood.

Idling about all day, sponging off others, Taking welfare subsidies from the Martial Soul Hall while badmouthing the Martial Soul Hall, Innate Soul Power of only level 0.5, Lifelong cultivation stuck at level 29, And not exactly young anymore, Isn't this describing my Xiao Gang?
