Chapter 157: The Spirit Beast Clan's Worries
"Is there truly such a mysterious soul spirit?"
Emperor Tian furrowed his brow, filled with doubt.
Originally, he had been eagerly anticipating that the Star Auction Hall would present a completely new method for obtaining soul rings.
One that would help human soul masters obtain soul rings without sacrificing spirit beasts, thus improving the situation for the Spirit Beast Clan.
However, after some thought, he realized that while the existence of the soul spirit could indeed alleviate the crisis faced by the Spirit Beast Clan to some extent, it would not fundamentally stop the human practice of hunting spirit beasts.
The soul spirit still originates from spirit beasts, and humans still need spirit beasts to obtain soul rings.
At this point, Emperor Tian couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
He realized that the pattern of conflict between humans and spirit beasts, which had lasted for thousands of years, wouldn't be easily shaken.
…
"A soul spirit? That's truly amazing."
Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe from Shrek Academy, along with the others, were filled with shock as they stared at the soul spirit in front of them.
These individuals had long-term visions and were well aware of the stakes involved.
If a spirit beast were willing to form a contract with a human soul master, not only could a soul master safely absorb a soul ring, but in the future, the soul master could also obtain a spirit beast partner of the same level of strength.
This was an unimaginably great advantage.
At the same time, forces like the Haotian Sect, the Sun Moon Empire, and the Holy Spirit Church also expressed deep interest in this mysterious soul spirit.
They all understood that mastering the secret of the soul spirit would undoubtedly result in a massive leap for their forces.
"These are just the basic effects of the soul spirit. Its most incredible aspect is that this soul spirit doesn't just give a soul master one soul ring."
Ling Yun looked at the curious gleam in everyone's eyes, a mysterious smile curving her lips as she dropped another bombshell.
In her opinion, if the soul spirit only had the above-mentioned functions, while it would still be remarkable, it wouldn't be enough to shock the entire Douluo Continent.
"What?"
"This is the soul spirit of a spirit beast? It can only give a soul master one soul ring. Could it possibly give several soul rings to one soul master?"
Numerous soul masters exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with confusion.
In their understanding, a soul spirit ultimately came from a spirit beast.
And a single spirit beast could only give a soul master one soul ring, which was a fundamental truth that had never changed on Douluo Continent.
Ling Yun's statement completely overturned their understanding.
"Of course not. That's the special feature of a soul spirit. For example, this 100,000-year-level Radiant Divine Bird soul spirit can provide a soul master with four 100,000-year soul rings."
"As for soul rings below 100,000 years, the soul spirit can give the soul master three or even two, and the number of soul rings is uncertain."
Ling Yun's tone was mysterious and serious as she spoke, word by word.
"With this, a soul master would only need to obtain a few soul spirits throughout their life, and they would successfully acquire their nine soul rings."
Her words were like a bomb, causing a huge upheaval in everyone's hearts.
Emperor Tian immediately stood up, his face filled with shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This was truly unbelievable!
To think that just one soul spirit could provide multiple soul rings. This meant that in the future, the chances of humans hunting spirit beasts would drastically decrease, and the Spirit Beast Clan would finally have a chance to recuperate.
This was an unimaginable advantage for the Spirit Beast Clan.
Perhaps this could truly change the difficult situation of the Spirit Beast Clan on Douluo Continent.
"It seems that the appearance of the soul spirit may indeed change the current situation of Douluo Continent, and the relationship between spirit beasts and soul masters will undergo some subtle changes,"
Bi Ji's pupils flashed with a moment of shock, but she quickly calmed herself, realizing the tremendous impact the appearance of the soul spirit would have on Douluo Continent.
She was both excited and worried—excited that the Spirit Beast Clan might get a chance to turn things around.
But worried that the future situation was full of uncertainties!
No one could predict the chain reaction that the appearance of the soul spirit would trigger.
"Forget whether this soul spirit is real or not. We must secure it. We'll take it back for our leader to study and see if there are any other secrets hidden within it!"
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Tian spoke with great seriousness.
In his mind, the matter of the soul spirit concerned the future of the Spirit Beast Clan, and there was no room for carelessness.
He absolutely could not allow this precious soul spirit to fall into the hands of any human soul master.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Multiple soul rings can be obtained?"
"This 100,000-year-level Radiant Divine Bird soul spirit can give a soul master four 100,000-year soul rings?"
Yan Shaozhe, upon hearing Ling Yun's explanation, combined it with his previous knowledge of 100,000-year soul rings, and an absurd yet thrilling idea began to form in his mind.
Four 100,000-year soul rings!
All that was needed was one 100,000-year soul spirit to obtain them. It sounded like a stroke of luck, as if heaven had dropped an opportunity into their lap.
He couldn't help but imagine what kind of terrifying power a soul master would have if they possessed four 100,000-year soul rings.
What kind of magnificent achievements would they have in the future?
"If this 100,000-year soul spirit can give four 100,000-year soul rings to a soul master, does that mean a soul master would have to contract this soul spirit when they're a Soul Emperor?"
"That's clearly not something an ordinary soul master can achieve."
Xian Lin'er frowned slightly, sharing her opinion.
"It seems that the 100,000-year soul spirit is practically made for dual martial soul possessors."
She knew very well that absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring as a sixth soul ring was incredibly difficult. For a regular soul master, it was nearly impossible.
However, for a dual martial soul possessor, this was a golden opportunity.
If the first martial soul was cultivated to the Title Douluo level, the second martial soul could acquire two 100,000-year soul spirits, thus obtaining eight 100,000-year soul rings.
This kind of power would be enough to intimidate the entire Douluo Continent.
"We must secure this 100,000-year soul spirit. No matter the cost, Shrek Academy must seize this opportunity. No one knows how long it will be before another soul spirit like this is born on Douluo Continent."
Elder Xuan's breath quickened, his eyes filled with determination.
He decisively made up his mind to secure the soul spirit, no matter the cost.
In his eyes, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Shrek Academy.
If they missed it, they might never get such a chance again.
Other forces shared the same thought. They were all rolling up their sleeves, their eyes full of determination to win.
The atmosphere in the hall was electrified. It felt as though everyone was on the brink of a fierce confrontation over this soul spirit.
The entire auction hall had become a powder keg, ready to explode at any spark.
