The Decisive Battle Begins (1)
The Dou Two Star System.
Douluo Continent.
Shrek City.
As the only force among the many powers in Dou Two that possesses God Trial Taker, Shrek Academy makes no secret of its Path of Hegemony style. Not only did it push its share of resources to the Three Great Empires, but the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire then pushed it to the Dou Ling Empire, making the Dou Ling Empire bear this debt that did not belong to them. Of course, that's not what they said in name. The official explanation was that the Dou Ling Empire voluntarily relieved Shrek Academy of its burden. The Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire couldn't compete with the Dou Ling Empire, so they had to let the Dou Ling Empire use this to demonstrate its loyalty and unity. In short, it's all just a way to fool the public. Besides, Shrek Academy also took the lion's share of the profits. For example, the venue for the first tournament was the newly built Soul Arena outside Shrek City.
What?
You said that some people might have objections to doing this?
Mu En coughed.
Star Luo Empire: I have no objection!
Heavenly Soul Empire: I second that!
Dou Ling Empire: I second that!
Many sects and academies: We're the same!
As for the common people and some Soul Master with low Soul Power Level, let's not consider whether they have the insight to see the truth or whether they can unite to march and protest. Just considering the difference in strength, would anyone really think that the Douluo Continent today is an era where a group of common people and Commoner Soul Master can unite to change the world and create a new world?
No way, really?
Surely no one thinks that way?
Therefore, even if all conditions are met, the common people and many Commoner Soul Master have no choice but to accept it. Not to mention that today, ten thousand years later, the nobles have completed the work of spiritual enslavement. Every Commoner Soul Master is proud to become a noble, and after becoming a noble, they are quickly assimilated by the original nobles, and then betray their own class, sparing no effort to suppress other common people and Commoner Soul Master. Even if there are some ambitious ones, they will be defeated by the absolute disadvantage in numbers, kicked out of the circle by the other nobles, and become isolated. They may even be promoted in name only, demoted in reality, and targeted by various dark tricks until their families are destroyed.
Therefore, in today's world, where we have completely lost our voice.
Today, with our spines completely broken.
In the world of Dou Two World, it's impossible for ordinary people to rise up.
Just look at Huo Yuhao and you'll know.
He was, after all, the son of a duke.
Even if he were a lowly illegitimate son from the time of Dou One, ten thousand years ago, he wouldn't have been reduced to selling grilled fish for a living. You should know that even Tang San, who had just entered Nuoding Academy at the age of six, could receive a monthly subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin from the Spirit Hall after becoming Soul Master. If he didn't need to train, Tang San could quit his job at the Blacksmith Shop, because one Gold Soul Coin would be enough to ensure that he could eat fish and meat for a month and meet most of his daily needs.
For example, toiletries, underwear, and outerwear.
Even Huo Yuhao, the son of a duke, lives in such a difficult situation. It's not that Ye Qingcang likes to use exaggerated language to slander the thoughts of the many nobles on Dou Two's side, but rather that in the eyes of these nobles, ordinary people are not considered human beings at all. Commoner Soul Master are barely considered human beings, but they are just like long-term laborers in the landlord's house in the old society.
Their opinions are as clear as their voices.
Insignificant.
Even their lives are the same.
Light and airy.
The wind blew it away, and nothing was left.
Therefore, even though it was Dou Two's home ground, the native inhabitants of Dou Two World were quite few. Shrek Academy, which reaped the first wave of benefits, Shrek City, which was packed with people, had nearly 70% of its inhabitants coming from Dou One World and the Dou One Star System.
It has to be said, this is a joke.
A joke full of irony.
"Boss, two ice creams, please... never mind, three ice creams, please."
Shrek City.
Accompanied by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Ye Qingcang mingled among the crowd. Even though he didn't make any grand gestures or wear any fancy clothes, just a simple set of casual trousers and a gray hoodie, he still attracted the attention of many people around him.
Among these people are men and women, young and old.
Some were looking at Ye Qingcang.
Some are watching Gu Yuena.
She has outstanding looks and amazing charisma.
It can be described as standing out from the crowd.
It's hard not to attract attention.
However, staring at someone for a long time is impolite. At this time when Soul Master in the world are coming to join in the fun, there are currently no examples of people harassing others on the street in Shrek City.
So, I just glanced at it a couple more times.
At most, I would glance at it out of the corner of my eye.
Fortunately, both Ye Qingcang and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena learned to ignore these gazes that contained various thoughts and desires.
There was no "What are you looking at? What's it to you? Try looking at me again? Fine, try it then" kind of thing; it was just a verbal argument.
Therefore, after Ye Qingcang put down a Gold Soul Coin, the ice cream vendor pushing the cart quickly realized what was going on, hurriedly withdrew his amazed gaze, took out three cones, and asked, "What flavor would you like, esteemed guest? I have original, matcha, strawberry, Dragon Saliva Jasmine Flavor, lychee... they are all written here, please choose for yourself."
The price varies for each flavor of ice cream.
But it doesn't matter what flavor it is.
Three ice creams for one Gold Soul Coin is more than enough.
Although the value of the Gold Soul Coin in Dou Two has depreciated.
But it hasn't fallen to the point of being worthless.
The mainstream currency among the general public remains the Copper Soul Coin.
One Gold Soul Coin can buy the equivalent of one hundred to one hundred and fifty grilled fish, or two hundred normal-sized ice creams.
Abnormal cases are calculated separately.
For example, the Dragon Saliva Jasmine Flavor.
One, priced at one Silver Soul Coin.
However, there's a reason why it's expensive.
"Give me one with Dragon Saliva Jasmine Flavor first."
"Speaking of which, it seems you're from Dou One, boss?"
"Ambergris... ambergris... this stuff can be considered a kind of spiritual food, right?"
Although it was autumn, not summer.
But the midday sun was just as scorching.
In fact, even in the dead of winter, if Soul Master wants to eat ice cream, they can still eat as much as they want without worrying about their body's reaction.
Based on the physical attributes of a normal Soul Master.
The body still has this much self-regulation ability.
Ye Qingcang didn't ask the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was being held by the Silver Dragon King, silly questions like whether they were menstruating or whether they could eat or drink cold things. Instead, he gave his answer directly. Then, turning back, he recommended these flavors to the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion: "As for the flavors, I suggest these... strawberry, Ju Zi, banana, and vanilla. These flavors suit most girls' tastes, but if you want to try others, that's fine too... Don't worry, desserts sold on the market have all been tested and have a wide appeal. Boss, you agree, right?"
