Creating a New Power?

Qian Renxue asked Li Xun:

"A Xun, let the Spirit Hall Soul Spirit technology. The Spirit Hall possesses the continent's top-tier resources, teachers, and influence, with branches throughout the continent sufficient to promote Soul Spirit. With us leading the implementation, improvement, and steady promotion, it will surely benefit all living beings and bring blessings to the entire Douluo Continent."

As soon as the words were spoken, the world fell silent for a moment.

Beneath the Heavenly Screen, countless hearts trembled.

The Spirit Hall has ruled the continent for ten thousand years, and its resources, connections, and influence are all top-notch. If it were to exclusively control the Soul Spirit technology, it would indeed be the fastest way to popularize and implement it, and no one can deny its strength.

Amidst the intense attention of everyone, Li Xun, standing beside Qian Renxue, did not respond immediately.

He lowered his eyes and pondered, his fingertips gently caressing the faint Soul Power flowing in his palm, his mind rapidly calculating the myriad advantages and disadvantages of the Soul Spirit technology after its implementation.

After a long while, Li Xun slowly raised his eyes and gently shook his head.

A simple action instantly captivated the hearts and minds of everyone across the entire continent.

"No."

His voice was calm, yet carried an unwavering certainty, resounding throughout the Heavenly Screen and reaching the ears of everyone.

"Xue'er, you only see that Soul Spirit technology can benefit humanity, but you've overlooked the most fundamental aspect."

"The foundation of Soul Spirit Technology has never been humans, nor the Soul Master system, but Soul Beast."

"Without Soul Beast voluntarily forming equal contracts, all Soul Spirit technologies are castles in the air, utterly meaningless. Humans hold the initiative, and in the long run, this will only breed greed again, repeating the old problems of hunting Soul Beast and obtaining Soul Bone. The estrangement and slaughter between humans and Soul Beast will never end."

Li Xun's gaze was far-reaching, his words resounding and his reasoning clear.

"The Spirit Hall, being in complete control, is ultimately a human faction, and its stance is naturally biased. To completely end the age-old feud between humans and Soul Beast, and to allow Soul Spirit to replace Soul Ring and settle down peacefully, power must not be monopolized by a single race."

He turned his head and his gaze landed precisely on the silver-haired girl standing quietly not far away.

Gu Yuena wore a simple silver dress, her silver hair cascading like moonlight, her deep purple eyes exuding a cool and noble aura.

"Na'er," Li Xun called softly.

"I intend to start from scratch and create a completely new, transcendent power."

"This force is not affiliated with the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, or Spirit Hall; it exists independently of all human courts and sects. I personally drafted its charter, with seats, power, and resources divided equally, half for human Soul Master and half for the Soul Beast Clan."

"Humans are responsible for technological research and development, continental implementation, and rule enforcement; the Soul Beast Clan is responsible for clan coordination and contract oversight. What do you think of this system of checks and balances and cooperation?"

The moment the words fell!

The entire Heavenly Screen above the Douluo Continent shattered instantly!

[Half the seats? Humans and Soul Beast on equal footing?]

[This is insane! From ancient times to the present, Soul Master and Soul Beast have been natural enemies. When has there ever been an era of equal coexistence?!]

[This is chilling to think about! The Asura God Li Xun saw things far too clearly! While the Spirit Hall's sole control would indeed quickly spread Soul Spirit across the entire continent, human greed will inevitably lead to disaster sooner or later!]

[That's right! In the past, Soul Ring plundering was a one-sided extortion by humans. Now, with the power split 50/50, exploitation is completely eliminated!]

[A completely new and transcendent force! Breaking away from all dynasties and sects, they're aiming to create a power on par with the Spirit Hall!]

[Angel God Qian Renxue's thoughts are selfless enough, but Asura God Li Xun has already seen the future!]

[Half the seats are occupied by Soul Beast! This is true reconciliation, not a one-sided handout!]

[Support Lord Li Xun!]

[Support, add one!]

[Add one!]

[Add one!]

Above the central arena of the Spirit Hall, the Heavenly Screen above still revolves with earth-shattering secrets that will shake the entire continent: the concept of human-beast co-governance and a new power that will resonate with countless people.

But at this moment, the eyes of 100,000 spectators all shifted from the Heavenly Screen and were firmly fixed on the wide Bluestone battle platform below.

Compared to the distant and uncertain future, Li Xun's match right now is the only focus for everyone at this moment.

In the very center of the arena, a chilling figure stood silently.

Li Xun stood with his hands behind his back, his black robes imposing, his demeanor calm yet exuding an overwhelming aura of power. Beside him stood Tang San, the young man composed and reserved, his eyes clear and deep.

Behind the two, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and the other girls stood solemnly, their auras suppressed, quietly waiting for the start of the competition. The entire team was as steady as a mountain, with an imposing presence.

On the other side of the battle stage, the seven members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team slowly walked onto the stage.

Dai Weisi, who was in the lead, Zhu Zhuyun beside him, and the five teammates behind him all had solemn and gloomy expressions, with an overwhelming sense of fear and unease churning in their hearts.

Their opponents today are Asura God Li Xun, and Sea God Tang San.

Facing the future two gods, even as the ace team of the Star Luo Empire's top academy, they couldn't afford to underestimate their opponents; all they felt was immense pressure.

In the center of the arena, the tournament referee, dressed in a standard referee's robe, stepped forward and stood between the two teams, his Hong Liang voice echoing throughout the entire arena:

"Both teams are in position! Ready to start the match!"

"Everyone can release their Martial Soul at will! This competition is the decisive round of the semi-finals; the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances to the finals!"

"Heaven Dou Empire Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy versus Star Luo Empire Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy! Match—Ready!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the tense atmosphere in the arena instantly reached its peak.

The seven members of the Star Luo Team dared not delay for even a moment, and almost simultaneously activated their Soul Power to unlock their Martial Soul!

Buzz--!

Seven distinctly different Martial Soul beams shot into the sky, and waves of Soul Power spread out in layers.

A scene that caused an uproar among the audience unfolded!

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were the first to light up their Soul Ring, their powerful Soul Power surging, both possessing a formidable foundation far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Master of the same age. And the five team members behind them, a full four of them unleashed Soul Power fluctuations of Soul Ancestor of level forty or above!

A seven-person team, with a total of six Soul Ancestor!

This luxurious and high-caliber lineup is already top-tier among academy competitions of the same level.

A dense aura of Martial Soul spirit enveloped the entire Star Luo Empire team, and a fierce aura of Soul Power rushed towards them, attempting to stabilize their position and suppress their inner fears.

Despite the opponent's strong momentum, the Heaven Dou Team remained calm and composed.

Li Xun slightly raised his eyes and gently activated his Soul Power.

A deep, dark aura surrounded him, and a top-tier Martial Soul quietly appeared. Five ultimate Soul Ring— one yellow, two purple, and two black—rose in unison, pulsating slowly. Their colors were rich and their layers distinct. The fifth black Soul Ring, in particular, was probably around 60,000 years old.

Tang San, standing beside him, simultaneously activated his Martial Soul, also possessing a standard top-tier Soul Ring configuration of one yellow, two purple, and two black rings. His Soul Power quietly permeated the air, and the power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill resonated steadily with Li Xun's aura.

Following closely behind the two, Dugu Yan and the rest of the team members all released their Martial Soul.

Rows of neatly arranged two-yellow and two-purple Soul Ring lit up one after another, shining brightly and in perfect order.

There was no ostentatious display of Pressure, but rather a calm and composed demeanor that commanded the scene.

The high platform was silent; the arena held its breath.

On one side is the Star Luo Empire Ace Team, the top-tier team of the Six Soul Ancestor, exuding an imposing aura.

On one side is the Heaven Dou Team, led by two future gods and as steady as a mountain.

The battle for a spot in the finals is about to begin.
