The light and shadow were whirling, and Xu Jiujiu, who was wearing a golden dress and had a stunning face, appeared on the soul guide screen in each VIP room, which was the size of an entire wall and high enough to see human pores clearly.
"Dear guests, good evening."
A melodious voice sounded, and Xu Jiujiu on the screen elegantly performed an aristocratic etiquette, with no faults in her manner.
Everyone in front of the screen was breathless. This was not only because Xu Jiujiu's beauty was too otherworldly, but also because of her etiquette.
It is a royal etiquette that is exclusive to the royal family. It is different from the aristocratic etiquette common in mainland China. Anyone with a little knowledge can see the mystery at a glance.
In the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's exclusive VIP room, the team leader Elder Ma slammed the table and then said:
"I know her identity. She is the princess of the Star Luo Empire. No wonder our people who broke into the Star Luo Empire couldn't find any information about her at all."
After Elder Ma finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"So that's it. No matter how I use Mingde Hall's channels, I can't find much information about those two people. It turns out that they are actually Star Luo Imperial Family's people."
Xiao Hongchen murmured, but Meng Hongchen beside him had already subconsciously clenched his hands.
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's voice, Elder Ma turned his head suddenly, then stared at Xiao Hongchen and asked:
"Did you use Mingde Hall's channels to investigate them?"
Xiao Hongchen has been acting so strangely these days that it is impossible for other people in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy not to notice the strangeness.
After taking turns to interrogate Elder Ma and Ma Rulong, they finally figured out the general story of the matter.
It was at that time that Elder Ma began to secretly investigate Qiangu Yunche and Xu Jiujiu.
"Did you use Mingde Hall's channels to investigate them? Do you know that before departure, the hall master clearly stated that the power of the Mingde Hall can only be used as a last resort. Once something goes wrong, everything we have built in the Star Luo Empire will be wiped out in an instant." Elder Ma stared at Xiao Hongchen and said coldly.
"I know, so I will bear the consequences of what I have done." Xiao Hongchen raised his head and looked at Elder Ma. The depth and fighting spirit in his eyes made the veteran Level 8 Soul Engineer startled in his heart.
"Furthermore, I think that instead of continuing to inquire about the Huo Yuhao that Shrek Academy used to release six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring through some kind of deception, you should go and inquire about the one named Qiangu Yunche.
Don't let Star Luo National Academy send you home before you meet Shrek Academy."
Xiao Hongchen's words were slightly sarcastic. After hearing this, everyone in the main team including captain Ma Rulong's expressions darkened, and their looks at Xiao Hongchen became unkind.
"Xiao Hongchen, watch your words. You are just the captain of the substitute team. You are here to observe and learn, not to make decisions for us and identify our opponents. Remember, you are not qualified yet."
Ma Rulong said in a low tone, with warning in his eyes.
"Ha." Xiao Hongchen just smiled and then said:
"The main team is so majestic. Why don't you let people tell you the truth? Come on, let's do this. Just pick one of the seven of you to have a 1v1 with me. As long as one of you can defeat me, I will admit that I was wrong. How about that?"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
After regaining consciousness, the faces of the seven members of the main team became increasingly gloomy.
But just when they couldn't help but want to speak, Elder Ma suddenly interrupted them sharply:
"We haven't defeated the foreign enemy yet, so what qualifications do you have to start fighting among us here? Sit back and let me see what Star Luo Empire is doing first."
Hearing this, the seven Ma Rulong reluctantly sat back down, while Xiao Hongchen snorted and ignored them.
Looking at the two parties whose atmosphere was completely tense, Elder Ma's face remained rigid and serious, but he sighed heavily in his heart.
The reason why he stopped Ma Rulong and others was because Xiao Hongchen's background was too terrifying. As the grandson of Master Mingde Hall, he himself was the number one genius in the Sun Moon Empire in a thousand years, and the most likely genius in the Sun Moon Empire to break through and become a tenth-level soul master in the future.
The seven members of the main team and even him cannot offend Xiao Hongchen to death, unless they no longer plan to hang out with Sun Moon.
Second, Xiao Hongchen's own strength is too terrifying. Under the premise that Soul Power Level is not much different, Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul can be called the strongest metal controller. When it comes to fighting alone, the seven members of the main team may not necessarily be his opponents.
While Elder Ma was thinking, Xu Jiujiu had also completed the warm-up and preparation, and officially entered the main topic.
She coughed slightly, and then said in a solemn tone:
"As we all know, many, many years ago, there was only the Soul Beast race on the continent and no humans.
After our ancestors appeared, they actually existed as food for Soul Beast in the first period of time. However, with the progress of the times, our human wisdom was gradually developed.
With the birth of the first Soul Master, the method of cultivation gradually spread, and we humans gradually occupied a place in that barbaric world by relying on our strong reproductive and learning abilities."
Having said this, Xu Jiujiu changed the topic and his tone became a little more passionate:
"Following on, we humans became stronger little by little, and the first Titled Douluo appeared. After that, the first Super Douluo, the first Limit Douluo, and the first otherworldly person appeared. Common gods... One mountain after another was conquered by our ancestors. Today, we humans do not say that we can completely suppress the land Soul Beast, but at least we are not as powerless as our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago."
Xu Jiujiu said more and more, and the level of involvement became deeper and deeper, causing most of the students from various schools and even the powerful nobles present to frown slightly.
And Xu Jiujiu's next words made them fall into deep contemplation again.
"Since the two races of humans and Soul Beast coexisted, it has been an unchanging iron law that Soul Beast preyed on humans to enhance their cultivation, and humans hunted Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring to break through the bottleneck.
But have you ever thought about a problem? The fertility of the Soul Beast Clan is far inferior to that of us humans, but our demand for Soul Ring has grown crazily in hundreds of thousands of years.
In today's era, the growth rate of human needs is still barely proportional to the growth rate of Soul Beast. However, as the times progress, human needs will only become larger and larger. But with one ebb and flow, can the growth rate of Soul Beast still keep up with our needs?
Once the demand is not proportional to the increase, waiting for Soul Beast will be a disaster.
But on the Douluo Continent, we humans and Soul Beast are indispensable existences in nature. Once Soul Beast perishes, nature will suffer heavy losses. What will be waiting for us humans?"
After a short period of digestion and understanding, more and more people have gained enlightenment.
Once Soul Beast is destroyed, mankind will no longer be able to obtain Soul Ring through Soul Beast to improve its strength, and its development will directly stagnate or even begin a serious regression.
But the most serious thing is the collapse of nature. Human survival and development require a stable and prosperous environment. Once the external environment is so bad that even the super-large races that once stood side by side with humans have perished, can humans really survive in such an environment?
The answer is no, there is no doubt about it.
