Although the news had spread, most Soul Masters remained skeptical.
After all, Soul Masters had always hunted Spirit Beasts for Soul Rings. It was hard to believe that a way to obtain Soul Rings without killing Spirit Beasts had suddenly appeared.
Spirit Hall had naturally received the news as well. Seated in the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong looked down at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
She did not want to rely on these two, but ever since Qian Renxue had appeared at the Soul Master Tournament, Spirit Hall's other elders had grown even more dismissive of her authority as pope.
