Douluo Chat Group: They're All Addicted to Gossiping

[Single Academy-Running Housewife: I'm telling you, those so-called righteous sects don't have many good people among them!]

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong, who hated evil with a passion, already had a poor impression of "major powers," and at this moment, she felt nothing but disdain.

If she were to find out.

That the greatest power in the world in the future was actually founded by Flender himself, one wonders what she would think?

Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong stared at the story on the screen, her eyes filled with astonishment.

As the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, she naturally understood the definition and dangers of evil soul masters.

But the situation Li Yuan described—where one is branded an evil soul master simply for having a unique cultivation method—felt, even to her, somewhat... absurd!

"Has the future... really descended into such chaos?"

She whispered to herself, her heart gaining a more intuitive sense of that chaotic "future" world.

[Li Yuan: So, in that kind of environment in the future, what does Innate Full Soul Power even matter? Without a background, without a backer, no matter how good your talent is, it's just a crime of having a treasure; you could be branded an evil soul master by those so-called righteous people at any moment. You are whatever they say you are.]

[Li Yuan: You can't even save your own mother when she's sick, not because you lack the ability, but because... the order of that era has been twisted and collapsed to the extreme.]

[Li Yuan: Without Martial Soul Hall, the continent will usher in freedom and light? Don't be naive. Without the dragon that is Martial Soul Hall, it will only attract more, more ferocious wolves! By then, the lives of ordinary soul masters and commoners will only be even more miserable!]

Li Yuan's words landed like a series of heavy slaps.

They smashed hard against everyone's faces, completely shattering their belief that "the world would keep spinning just fine without Martial Soul Hall."

Without Martial Soul Hall, it's not "liberation," but "chaos" and "darkness"?

Even a genius with Innate Full Soul Power ends up in such a miserable state in the future?

Then what about other soul masters?

Are they not worse than dogs?

The group chat fell into a dead silence. Everyone was so shocked by this bloody "truth of the future" that they couldn't speak, their hearts filled with confusion.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong's little face turned deathly pale, and she subconsciously hugged her pillow tighter.

She had been pampered since childhood, well-protected by Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone. She had heard plenty of rumors about Martial Soul Hall's tyranny and had always thought of them as a villainous faction that both great empires needed to resist together.

But she had never imagined that the outside world could have such a cruel side.

Speed Clan.

Bai Chenxiang looked at the words on the screen, feeling a chill rise from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

The Speed Clan was already weak and isolated. If things were truly as Li Yuan described, and the future world was so dark... then wouldn't her Speed Clan be...

She dared not think any further.

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Without Martial Soul Hall... will the future really become like this?]

[Ice-Snow Smart: Perhaps. We cannot predict the future, but at least from the current perspective, Martial Soul Hall has indeed effectively suppressed the two great empires and maintained a certain... balance on the continent. (Rational analysis)]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: It seems I need to re-evaluate my opinion of Martial Soul Hall. (Tone is complex)]

[Single Academy-Running Housewife: Bibi Dong, for the sake of your Martial Soul Hall, you've earned a one-month immunity from my criticism.]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Pfft! And do I have to thank you for that? (Rolls eyes)]

Although Bibi Dong said this with her mouth, she felt secretly pleased inside.

After all, ever since joining the group chat, she had been scolded almost every day. Now, she had finally managed to turn around some of the others' perceptions of her.

It was a breath of fresh air!

[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: Hmph, you all should have done this a long time ago. Hehehe~ Thank you, Group Leader Brother, for speaking up for our Martial Soul Hall!]

[Li Yuan: I didn't speak up for you; I just said what needed to be said. And don't think your Martial Soul Hall is truly that great; it's just the tallest among the short.]

[Child Without Parents: Hmm, what do you mean?]

[Li Yuan: You can keep an eye on the corruption among the mid-level bishops of Martial Soul Hall... I won't go into too much detail.]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: How is that possible? Under my leadership, Martial Soul Hall's economy has grown every year. As for the corruption you speak of, it is pure nonsense!]

[Li Yuan: Whether you believe me or not is none of my business. Even if Martial Soul Hall were to perish, it has nothing to do with me, understand?]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: You!]

[Child Without Parents: Understood, I will send people to investigate.]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Xue'er, do you not even trust me? I said, it is impossible, absolutely impossible for corruption to exist in Martial Soul Hall! (Tone is adamant)]

[Child Without Parents: I trust what I see with my own eyes more.]

Pope Palace.

"Damn Li Yuan! Was I not telling the truth? Why is he being so aggressive?"

Bibi Dong was practically exploding with rage, her fair face slightly distorted by fury.

Clearly, she had tried to swallow her pride several times to ease the tension between them, but this damned Li Yuan was simply impervious to both soft and hard tactics, refusing to budge an inch.

What made her want to vomit blood even more was this.

Even her own daughter, Qian Renxue, actually didn't believe her.

"Hmph! Go ahead and stir up trouble, Xue'er, just follow him and stir it up. I want to see what kind of mess you two can make. Under my, Bibi Dong's, governance, Martial Soul Hall will have corruption?"

"Ridiculous! I pay them such high salaries; would they risk their lives for a bit of greed? Do they really think everyone is a fool?"

Bibi Dong cursed under her breath, her snowy chest heaving violently.

Hu Liena, standing to the side, hurriedly comforted her: "Teacher, please don't be angry. This time, it's just that they didn't understand. Sister Xue'er and Group Leader Brother are only on the first floor, while you are in the stratosphere."

Bibi Dong's lips curled upward, her mood instantly improving: "That's right, Na'na, you said it well. I, Bibi Dong, am naturally in the stratosphere!"

Hu Liena: "..."

Actually, she was just saying that casually.

Oh no, what if Teacher took it seriously?

If something is actually uncovered tomorrow, will Teacher retaliate against me because of what I said today?

Is it too late for me to run away now?

Seeing that Qian Renxue seemed to have a genuine determination to wield the blade, Li Yuan decided to offer her some advice via private message.

Private chat page.

[Li Yuan: If you cannot sweep a single room, how can you sweep the world? Governing a family is like governing a country. Corruption is the easiest thing for large organizations to overlook, yet it is the most important. If it cannot be resolved, the low-to-mid-level spirit masters will lose hope. If they lose hope, how can you attract geniuses from the outside?]

[Li Yuan: If you truly wish for Martial Soul Hall to improve, try to do it. I have said all I can.]

[Child Without Parents: Understood.]

On the other side.

Crown Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue clearly took Li Yuan's words to heart, turning to shout toward the door: "Uncle She!"

"Does the Young Mistress have any instructions?"

A tall, upright figure quickly appeared in the hall; it was none other than Snake Lance Douluo, She Long.

A cold glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes: "I have received news that some say there is serious corruption in my Martial Soul Hall. Go and investigate the Red Cardinals around Heaven Dou City."

"If it is true, make them spit out double what they have stolen, and as for the people, deal with them directly!"

She Long was shocked, his expression turning troubled: "Young Mistress, wouldn't that be a bit too extreme?"

One must know that taking kickbacks and corruption were almost unspoken rules among the middle and upper echelons.

Everyone does it; if you don't, are you trying to act holier-than-thou?

Just as the saying goes: If you don't take it, and I don't take it, how is Commissioner Geng supposed to take it? If Commissioner Geng doesn't take it, how can you and I advance?

And now, Qian Renxue actually wants to take action against these people?

This touches upon the interests of too many people, and might even involve elders at the Title Douluo level...

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with soaring ambition as she clenched her fists: "Uncle She, if you cannot sweep a single room, how can you sweep the world?"

"The future of Martial Soul Hall is in our hands, right beneath our feet. Now that there are pests destroying Martial Soul Hall, do you think we can still tolerate it?"

"If anyone dares to oppose this, I will have Grandfather take action personally!"

Qian Renxue's tone shifted, suddenly becoming bone-chillingly cold.

She Long felt a jolt in his heart, stunned by Qian Renxue's courage and determination. He immediately stopped hesitating, cupped his fists heavily, and said: "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

[Li Yuan: Everyone, don't be too worried. This is only the worst-case future; the future changes every single moment. Let's end today's gossip here. I wish you all great success in your martial paths! Goodnight!]

Private chat page.

[Ice-Snow Smart: Group Leader Brother, goodnight~ The spirit bone skill you suggested is amazing. I'm going to experiment with it tomorrow. Can you give me a blessing? (Hands clasped together, expectant expression)]

[Li Yuan: Of course. Then I wish you a bright future, living up to your youth!]

After logging off, Li Yuan looked at the significantly increased popularity points in the Chat Group and revealed a satisfied smile.

Perhaps in a little while, he would be able to upgrade to a Level 3 group chat.

Following that, he sat cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.
