One person among them, visibly agitated, suddenly shouted, "Long live Spirit Hall! Long live the Supreme Pontiff!"
In an instant, the audience's emotions were stirred, and their voices echoed throughout the entire Dou Hun Arena.
Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen's faces were grim, as if they had eaten three pounds of excrement; now Spirit Hall had even created something called the Spirit Descent Tower, which, in their eyes, was nothing short of an attempt to win over neutral Spirit Masters.
Yu Yuanzhen was even more wary of Spirit Hall's future influence; at that point, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's position would become even more precarious.
After all, the current Spirit Hall gave off a feeling of being ambitious wolves, constantly wanting to annex the Douluo Continent, which made them deeply uneasy. If it truly came to that, where would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan go? Surrendering to Spirit Hall—wouldn't that be abandoning the face and dignity of their ancestors?
People of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never surrender!
However, the one suffering the most right now was Ning Fengzhi.
Because Spirit Hall was striking at the Foundation of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; if Qian Xunfeng's words were true and he really mastered the ability to bestow spirit rings, the blow to an auxiliary Sect like their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which relied on external forces, would be nothing short of devastating.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to offer much better benefits to retain and attract neutral Spirit Masters, and their expenses would have to increase by more than three times, after all, those were spirit rings with growth potential.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi himself was unsure if a three-fold increase in benefits could truly retain them.
"Damn Spirit Hall, a pack of ambitious wolves, they're probably already waiting to win over all the Spirit Masters in the World and unify the Douluo Continent in the future."
Ning Fengzhi clenched his teeth, his face so grim it looked like water would drip from it. This Qian Xunfeng was practically trying to destroy their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The crucial point was, what if even with more money, those neutral Spirit Masters were unwilling to join? Wouldn't that cause his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to lose its long-term means of self-preservation?
In his generation, with the Sword and Bone Douluo, he was naturally worry-free, but what about future generations?
As Ning Fengzhi thought, his eyes gradually grew somewhat shadowed, and his resolve to invest in Tang San becoming a god grew even stronger in his heart, because he had no way out.
He had completely offended Spirit Hall; there was simply no turning back.
"Only by becoming a god, as long as I become a god, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will endure for eternity!"
However, very quickly, Qian Xunfeng's words made Ning Fengzhi's mood plummet to rock bottom.
"We in Spirit Hall will not monopolize this glory. Three years from now, the Spirit Descent Tower will be opened. However, for other forces' Families who wish to obtain Spirit Souls, a hundred-year Spirit Soul will only cost ten thousand gold coins! A thousand-year Spirit Soul will cost one hundred thousand gold coins."
Although he said ten thousand gold coins, this was after all the gold coin of Douluo Continent, and its value was very high. A small baron who could produce ten thousand gold coins in cash was still considered wealthy.
Currently, it was only enough to buy a hundred-year spirit ring, but this hundred-year spirit ring possessed growth attributes, unlike ordinary hundred-year spirit rings that could be compared.
And these three years were when all matters would be resolved, including the submission of the two great Empires, and the matter of Xiao Biesan.
Everything should come to a conclusion.
As for those who joined Spirit Hall's forces, the price would be matched according to their years of membership.
Those who joined Spirit Hall from a young age could enter the Spirit Descent Tower for free, while twenty-year veteran cadres would enjoy a 90% discount on purchasing Spirit Souls.
Ten-year veteran cadres would enjoy an 80% discount, and five-year veterans a 70% discount.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the benefits could be used by descendants, though with a one-level reduction in treatment. If it was discovered that they were used for outsiders, the benefits would be revoked, and they would be forbidden from entering the Spirit Descent Tower for life.
As long as one joined Spirit Hall for a full year, Spirit Hall would cover their first three spirit rings. However, if one was not up to par and failed to gain recognition from a Spirit Soul, that would be an exception.
As this news fell, the Spirit Masters who had already joined Spirit Hall immediately stirred. Some old members, whose bodies were already half in the grave, also exchanged glances, all seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
It's stable! It's stable!
They had known decades ago that following Spirit Hall meant a promising future, and now it seemed to be true.
Spirit Hall's welfare benefits were completely incomparable to those of other forces, and there were no restrictions like those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
One only needed to obey the Spirit Hall Spirit Master Code and not betray Spirit Hall, otherwise they would be hunted down by Spirit Hall.
However, who would be so foolish as to withdraw from Spirit Hall now, unless their brain was addled.
It wasn't until Qian Xunfeng finished his announcement that he allowed Qian Renchuan, Qian Renxue, and others beside him to come forward and release their awe-inspiring spirit rings.
At this moment, Hu Yan Zhen also quietly approached Qian Xunfeng, looking a bit sneaky, and whispered, "Supreme Pontiff, my grandson is also about to obtain a spirit ring recently, please take a look."
"Since he is Sect Master Hu Yan's grandson, his talent is naturally not bad. Over these years, Sect Master Hu Yan has also helped our Spirit Hall eliminate many Evil Soul Master forces, so it is only right for you all to obtain Spirit Souls."
For forces loyal to Spirit Hall, Qian Xunfeng saw no need to be stingy. After all, he couldn't bring himself to be stingy with his own people.
Hu Yan Zhen, seeing Qian Xunfeng agree so quickly, immediately bowed his hands in joyful gratitude.
At this time, everyone in the arena offered congratulations, only Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen sat in their seats, calmly and leisurely sipping tea.
In reality, their hearts had already shattered. Spirit Hall was truly ambitious, and they had to be extremely wary.
Although these Spirit Souls sounded good, they were definitely related to Spirit Hall's ambition. Their Three Sects would absolutely not absorb these so-called Spirit Souls.
What if this was a method for Spirit Hall to control the Douluo Continent? If they used these Spirit Souls, wouldn't they be utterly defenseless?
However, they really weren't wrong; Spirit Souls were indeed part of Qian Xunfeng's control over the Douluo Continent.
After all, he was now considered the behind-the-scenes master of the Soul Spirit World; almost all the emperors of the Spirit Soul races bowed before him.
Although due to rule limitations, Spirit Souls could not influence Spirit Masters, he could prevent Spirit Masters from obtaining Spirit Souls.
This was equivalent to cutting off the Spirit Master's path to advancement, and even if many forces were unwilling, they would need the qualification to defeat him to have the right to resist.
Unfortunately, no one in the current World had appeared who could defeat Qian Xunfeng. Once forbidden from obtaining Spirit Souls, they could only rely on hunting Spirit Beasts.
But now, nearly ninety percent of Spirit Beasts had been collected into the Soul Spirit World. The number of Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent would begin to sharply decrease starting today, all entering the Soul Spirit World.
At that time, even a thousand-year Spirit Beast would be a rarity on the Douluo Continent. If one was greedy, they could try hunting ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year evil beasts in the future, but there was a high probability they would become confused and turn into bloodthirsty Evil Soul Masters.
Therefore, in the future, Spirit Hall would certainly be in an absolutely dominant position, unless a new force capable of creating Spirit Souls could emerge.
But clearly, Qian Xunfeng would not allow such a force to exist. If one were to just show its head, it would either be absorbed or directly destroyed by his own hand.
