First Kill Tang San, Then Bibi Dong, Then Destroy Spirit Hall!
Yu Xiaogang really didn't deserve to be mentioned alongside him!
Nearby, the same thought occurred to Ning Fengzhi and the others.
In fact, the man was a joke.
Innate level three. Titled Douluo. Deity.
Almost no one would put those three terms together.
But Ji Juechen had done it. He had crossed countless seemingly impassable divides and spent his life proving that there were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.
[To be honest, compared with the Two Great Empires and the other sects, This Seat actually has a better opinion of Spirit Hall.]
[After all, while the nobles of the Two Great Empires oppressed commoners, Spirit Hall broke down class barriers and gave ordinary people a fair chance to change their fate.]
[That is why Spirit Hall also has more powerful commoners than any other faction.]
[Spirit Hall also denied Evil Soul Masters a foothold on the Douluo Continent, preserving peace across the continent.]
Though everyone present was at odds with Spirit Hall, they had to admit that much was true.
But why bring up Evil Soul Masters specifically?
As far as Ning Fengzhi and the others were concerned, Evil Soul Masters hardly posed a threat.
[Hmph. Don't underestimate Evil Soul Masters!]
[At this point in time, Spirit Hall keeps them in check, while Slaughter City contains them.]
[Moreover, the early Evil Soul Masters mostly acted alone. Without the vast, organized structure they would have in later generations, they weren't powerful enough to shake the entire continent.]
[But after Tang San destroyed both Spirit Hall and Slaughter City, everything changed.]
[All the Evil Soul Masters confined in Slaughter City scattered across the continent, laying the groundwork for their explosive rise and rampage in later generations.]
[For special reasons, This Seat ascended to the Divine Realm after killing Tang San and never dealt with the mess.]
[One day in the Divine Realm is one year in the mortal world.]
[By the time This Seat noticed, the Evil Soul Masters had become a force to be reckoned with. They had their own organization, the Holy Spirit Cult, led by two Ultimate Douluo and over a dozen Titled Douluo, with countless other powerful members.]
The faces of Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, and Tang Yuehua changed abruptly.
Two Ultimate Douluo and over a dozen Titled Douluo? How was that possible?
What on earth had the Two Great Empires and the many sects of later generations been doing?
How had they allowed Evil Soul Masters to proliferate to such an extent?
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could only maintain its place among the Top Three Sects thanks to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, another of the Top Three Sects, had only one Titled Douluo.
The Holy Spirit Cult was already powerful enough to challenge Spirit Hall, the strongest faction on the Douluo Continent today.
And on top of that, the Holy Spirit Cult had two Ultimate Douluo.
Ultimate Douluo!
That was the very pinnacle a Soul Master could reach.
In this era, there were only two Ultimate Douluo on the continent, one belonging to Spirit Hall and the other to the Clear Sky Sect.
If the Evil Soul Masters truly grew that powerful, the entire Douluo Continent would descend into endless chaos.
[The Shrek Academy Tang San left behind was lucky. For several generations running, it produced prodigies unrivaled in their eras and flourished as a result. But Shrek also bears some responsibility for the Evil Soul Masters' rise.]
[Ridiculous as it sounds, Shrek Academy has its own criteria for deciding who counts as an Evil Soul Master.]
[They claim Martial Souls aren't inherently good or evil, but if a Martial Soul can only be cultivated through special methods, then that Martial Soul is evil.]
Ning Fengzhi paused.
That seemed like a fair assessment!
What was wrong with it?
What set Evil Soul Masters apart from ordinary Soul Masters was precisely that their Martial Souls required special cultivation methods.
[If only they'd stopped there. One Douluo, titled Scorpion Tiger, had a Martial Soul that needed to consume animal blood continuously to evolve. He had never harmed anyone, yet Shrek drove him into joining the Holy Spirit Cult.]
Chen Xin and the others exchanged looks.
He had never harmed anyone. He had cultivated using only Soul Beast blood.
Put that way, Shrek Academy's criteria for identifying Evil Soul Masters did seem flawed.
[And that brings us to that stubborn old fossil Gu Rong.]
At this point, the Voice Pack's tone turned teasing.
[Ten thousand years from now, the Holy Spirit Cult will have an Evil Soul Master who becomes a Soul Saint before turning twenty.]
[And his Martial Soul happens to be a Bone Dragon!]
Gu Rong stiffened. His cloudy eyes widened, and his face darkened ominously.
A Bone Dragon Martial Soul!
The same Bone Dragon Martial Soul as his!
And the young man was even more talented than he was.
Yet someone like that had been branded an Evil Soul Master!
[He is another victim who could only join the Holy Spirit Cult because of Shrek's criteria for judging Evil Soul Masters.]
[Shrek Academy perfectly inherited Tang San's double standards. When one of their own talented Soul Masters fell into darkness and killed people, their Martial Soul was purified afterward, and they brushed off the blood and declared them redeemed.]
Well, then!
At this point, how could Ning Fengzhi, the leader of a sect, fail to understand Shrek Academy's reasoning?
They were simply getting rid of people they didn't like.
They just dressed it up in noble words.
"Shrek Academy. This old man will remember you!"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Rong's eyes.
He had never been a kindhearted man. Otherwise, he would not have been the one tasked with handling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's dirty work.
[It's a shame This Seat ascended so hastily and left nothing behind on the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, This Seat would never have let those clowns run wild.]
[Fortunately, the Douluo Continent produced a native Child of Destiny in response. That Child of Destiny will put an end to this chaos.]
[If this Child of Destiny does well, This Seat will consider passing on the Asura God's Godhood Inheritance, which has lain vacant since Tang San's death.]
[Unexpectedly, this Child of Destiny not only lived up to This Seat's expectations but also created his own godhood, just as This Seat did, and became the Divine Realm's sixth God King: the God of Death.]
[But that's beside the point.]
[It's a pity that the woman running Spirit Hall now is Bibi Dong, that lunatic. Spirit Hall will only grow more extreme from here.]
[Just thinking about it makes This Seat angry!]
[If not for that fool Ning Rongrong, This Seat could have watched from the sidelines while that lunatic Bibi Dong and that hypocrite Tang San tore each other apart!]
Ning Rongrong bit her pink lip.
Her again!
Why did everything end up being her fault?
[If she hadn't insisted on seeking This Seat out, This Seat could have waited for both sides to cripple each other, then stepped in and reaped the rewards.]
[Instead, This Seat had no choice but to kill Tang San first, then Bibi Dong!]
[This Seat never wanted to move against Spirit Hall, but those fools came looking for death. Why couldn't they have learned from the Clear Sky Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect and simply lain low? Then nothing would have happened to them!]
[This Seat is too proud to bother with insects.]
Ning Wen: "..."
First kill Tang San, then Bibi Dong, then destroy Spirit Hall!
Pretty damn impressive!
But hadn't he forgotten someone?
What about Qian Renxue?
If even Bibi Dong had become a god, how could Qian Renxue not have?
