"廢...廢掉魂力?"

Inside the Spirit Beast Garden of the Primordial Immortal Court.

Upon hearing Nurse Wang's words, delivered with such nonchalance and even a hint of disdain, Zhu Zhuqing stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

At this moment, her cold, beautiful face was filled with struggle and hesitation.

It was not just her; the entire Douluo Continent, along with the high and mighty God Realm, had fallen into a deathly silence!

Then, an overwhelming uproar erupted!

"Madness, this is absolute madness!"

On the playground of Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly leaped up as if a cat had stepped on his tail.

He pointed at the Sky Screen, spittle flying from his mouth:

"Soul Power is the foundation of a Soul Master; it is the most sacred power bestowed upon the Douluo Continent by the heavens!"

"Without Soul Power, a Soul Master is a cripple, no better than an ant!"

"That old hag actually called Soul Power trash? And she wants to abolish it? This is simply trying to destroy Zhuqing!"

Yu Xiaogang was frantic with rage, not only out of concern for Zhu Zhuqing, but because Nurse Wang's words fundamentally negated the Martial Soul theories he had spent his entire life researching!

If Soul Power was trash, then everything he, the grandmaster of theory, had studied his whole life was nothing more than garbage sorting?

This was more painful than killing him!

On the other side, after hearing the old nurse in the Sky Screen say this, Tang San's expression turned incredibly ugly.

His Mysterious Heaven Skill, which he took such pride in, was essentially the cultivation of internal energy converted into Soul Power. If Soul Power was a low-level energy, then what did that make his Mysterious Heaven Skill?

And what about his Tang Sect Unique Skills?

"Zhuqing, you must not listen to her!"

Of all the people, the one with the most intense reaction was none other than Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai could no longer care about the pain in his body. He struggled to stand up and roared at the unreachable Sky Screen:

"That is the result of over a decade of your cultivation; that is your dignity as a Soul Ancestor, Zhuqing!"

"If you abolish your Soul Power, you will truly be nothing!"

"Come back! That world is too dangerous; this is a scam! It's all a scam, Zhuqing!"

At this moment, Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the verge of madness.

He simply could not accept that his fiancée would abandon the power system they were so proud of just to cater to the rules of that world.

It felt like watching his beloved goddess voluntarily undergo plastic surgery just to please another rich and handsome man.

It filled him with immense humiliation!

On the other side, in Martial Soul Hall.

"Crack!"

The scepter in Bibi Dong's hand was actually crushed, a crack appearing on its surface!

The usually noble and cold Pope was heaving, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Soul Power... loose and powerless, full of impurities?"

"Using this energy to drive the body is like feeding pig swill to a True Dragon?"

Nurse Wang's disdainful words were like sharp knives, stabbing fiercely into Bibi Dong's heart.

She possessed Twin Martial Souls and was a level 99 peerless Douluo, only a step away from becoming a god.

The Soul Power within her was as vast as the sea, the pinnacle that all Soul Masters on the continent looked up to.

But now, someone was telling her that the power she took such pride in was all impurities? All trash?

"No, I don't believe it!"

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, staring fixedly at the Sky Screen:

"This Seat wants to see what Zhu Zhuqing will have left once her Soul Power is abolished!"

"Could the cultivation system of that world really be that much more noble than ours?!"

Douluo Continent, God Realm Committee.

As the highest point of the entire Douluo Plane, this was also the source of all Soul Power on the continent.

However, the expressions of the five God Kings were uglier than if they had swallowed flies.

Especially the Asura God; as the strongest enforcer in the God Realm, he could be considered the ceiling of combat power for the entire Douluo Continent.

But the Asura God was furious. Red light swirled around him, murderous intent surging; he wished he could tear through the Sky Screen and rip that old nurse's mouth to shreds!

"Hmph, this is simply preposterous!"

"Soul Power is the manifestation of heaven and earth's spiritual energy combined with the laws; it is the cornerstone of becoming a god!"

"What does that old hag know? How dare she spout nonsense that Soul Power is trash?"

"If I could descend with my true form, I would certainly show her what the power of a God King truly is!"

As the Asura God's voice trailed off, the God of Destruction slammed a palm onto the round table. His intent of destruction surged wildly, causing the entire great hall to hum and vibrate.

He glared at the old woman on the Sky Screen who had dismissed Soul Power as trash, sneering repeatedly:

"Exactly. A servant responsible for sweeping floors dares to comment on the Great Dao?"

"Soul Power is a manifestation of the fundamental power of heaven and earth. Although it is somewhat thin in the Lower Realm, it is essentially of the same origin as divine power!"

"If one cultivates it to the extreme, they can condense a divine position, master the laws, and become immortal!"

"She actually called it trash? And wants to abolish it?"

"In This Seat's view, this is a lie fabricated by that world to control the people of the Lower Realm!"

"They want to make them cripple their own cultivation, turn them into useless people, and force them to rely on that so-called Immortal Court, serving as beasts of burden for generations!"

Hearing his analysis, the Asura God beside him nodded slightly. While toying with the Asura Blood Sword, he chimed in:

"Destruction makes a valid point."

"If that Zhu Zhuqing truly believes those slanderous words and abolishes her Soul Power, I fear it will be too late for regrets."

"Furthermore, the meridians of a Mortal Body are incredibly fragile. Once they lose the nourishment of Soul Power, I fear major problems will arise!"

"Even if she doesn't die, in that terrifying gravitational environment, could a cripple without Soul Power survive even a second?"

"This is fundamentally a path of no return. It is a pity; she is too young and completely fails to see it."

Having said this, the Asura God shook his head with a sigh, as if he had already foreseen the tragic sight of Zhu Zhuqing exploding to death.

"The people of that world are treating the people of our Douluo Plane like monkeys."

"That so-called Primordial Body Tempering Technique is likely some kind of evil art that overdraws one's life force."

"One hundred and eight thousand catties with a single arm?"

"Heh, aside from Divine Beasts who prove their path through strength, how could a human possess such physical power in their youth? It simply violates the basic laws of the universe!"

Although the Goddess of Goodness felt some concern, upon hearing the two supreme God Kings speak with such certainty, she sighed softly:

"I hope that little girl does not do anything foolish..."

"Soul Power cultivation is not easy. To reach level forty-something at her age, she is considered a genius in the Lower Realm."

"If she abolishes it, she will truly be ruined."

Conversely, the God of Evil, who was the most relaxed, sat with his legs crossed and an expression of watching a show:

"Oh, don't be so serious."

"In any case, that is merely the choice of an ant in the Lower Realm."

"This Seat is quite looking forward to seeing how much she will regret it when she turns into a puddle of mud after abolishing her Soul Power, and what that old hag will do then?"

"Will she throw her into that Monster Garden to be used as feed, or simply cast her out to fend for herself?"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, all the gods present, with the exception of the Goddess of Life, could not help but burst into laughter.
