But with the chance to leave, many people wouldn't linger for a moment, wishing they could use their hands as extra legs to run faster.
They were too eager to escape this so-called place of trouble that was Spirit Hall and breathe what they considered to be the air of freedom.
Bibi Dong and the Elders were somewhat displeased by this, but Chu Feng didn't care as long as his goal was achieved.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo still took the initiative to ask, "But many of the proposals and suggestions haven't been implemented yet. Are we just going to disperse like this?"
"A grand conference pulled together with such difficulty—they probably won't come back in the future," Ghost Douluo expressed his regret.
Bibi Dong was also slightly curious, so Chu Feng gave a curt reply: "The Dao follows nature."
"What does that mean?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
Qian Renxue stepped forward at this moment and smiled. "Since the system has changed, there's no need to interfere at all; karma will take its own course."
This made the topic seem increasingly high-level, leaving the others even more bewildered.
It seemed that everyone's full understanding of the investiture of the gods system still had a long and difficult road ahead.
However, in the following days, the changes in Douluo Continent completely subverted all imagination.
Based on the fundamental laws designed by Chu Feng, even though many people with ulterior motives tried to hide them, they still spread and created a butterfly effect.
As for the earth-shattering events of the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, they gradually became things of the past among the people.
This was also within Chu Feng's expectations because the people and Spirit Masters of the world were very willing to accept the standards of the investiture of the gods system.
Many people had already begun to throw themselves into the great tide of the era of cultivating to become immortals, which meant that privilege and social classes could no longer stop them.
Some could observe the stars and moons at a young age to explore the universe, possessing a Celestial Talent.
Some showed Spiritual Roots even in the womb with extraordinary spirit power, being a Child of Destiny.
Some could practice medicine to save the world through enlightenment, becoming a Skilled Hand of the Dao.
Some could have spiritual power at their side by seeking the Dao, rising rapidly with the hope of becoming an immortal.
The world's Spirits even integrated the mysteries of the immortals, with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, immortal beasts, and ferocious beasts all having a chance to awaken.
The upper and lower limits of the world's spirit rings were crossed once again, with various colors blooming; they were no longer exclusive to ordinary people.
Immortal-grade Spirit Bones, Douluo spells, self-created Spiritual Treasures, and legendary divine artifacts—all sorts of incredible things began to manifest in reality one by one as the entire Douluo Continent evolved... At the back mountain of Shrek Academy, Flender and Yu Xiaogang were urgently testing the Shrek Seven Devils.
Everything they had seen at the grand conference seven days ago had left them unable to eat or sleep recently, seeking only to cultivate.
"Speaking of which, if I hadn't disguised myself well, Bibi Dong would have discovered me. I didn't expect the power of Spirit Hall to be so terrifying already."
Five kilometers away, the Shrek Seven Devils hadn't returned from their running drills yet, so Yu Xiaogang started complaining out of boredom.
"Are you really that afraid of that Supreme Pontiff? I've seen you mentioning her constantly lately. However, that man named Chu Feng is indeed mysterious and unpredictable; it's hard to imagine his origin."
Flender pushed up the glasses that had slipped down his nose, a hint of a smile on his face.
Yu Xiaogang gave a soft snort and changed the subject. "On a serious note, the investiture of the gods system promoted by Spirit Hall always feels strange, yet many people seem to adapt to it very well."
"Isn't that right? I dug up an Immortal Herb in the back mountain yesterday. I'll see if I can grind it into a pill; if so, there might be an improvement."
It seemed Flender had adapted very well, as his tone was quite smooth while discussing this.
Yu Xiaogang stared at him for a moment and then shook his head. "Putting this system aside for now, what about the upcoming Soul Master Competition?"
Flender sighed. "Barring any accidents, they will soon all be Titled Douluo, but the standard for this competition is below level one hundred. It's indeed going to be difficult."
Not long after they finished talking, the laughter of Tang San and the other seven was already close at hand.
"Grandmaster, Dean, what are the goals for today? Running ten thousand kilometers only takes us about ten minutes now; it's no pressure at all."
Tang San spoke bluntly; his energy was indeed abundant, and he wasn't even out of breath after such a long distance.
This meant that the traditional Spirit Master education system was already outdated; now, Daoist courses such as Alchemy Class, Artifact Refinement Class, and Dao Enlightenment Class were emerging.
Flender naturally thought of this, so he had been very conflicted lately; how to improve the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils was a difficult problem.
"If it were before, we could still go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy for advanced studies, but now with all the strange occurrences across the continent, systematic learning probably won't work anymore."
Yu Xiaogang lamented, taking out his notebook as he spoke; the Spirit Master theories of this learning-loving Grandmaster were constantly being refined.
"If we can find a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land or a cultivation opportunity, we should be able to gain more strength in a short time."
But the problem was where to find them; everyone was at a loss.
"Leave this matter to me."
It was Tang Hao; he was wearing black cloth clothes and looked somewhat weathered.
"Why are you here?" Yu Xiaogang was a bit surprised.
According to the timeline of the original work, if Tang Hao faced Tang San now, it would be a direct showdown.
"Father?" Tang San was also somewhat at a loss.
He still remembered his father making him apprentice to Yu Xiaogang a few months ago, and he still had many questions. His father's sudden appearance now made him feel uneasy.
"You all know about the matters of the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, right?"
Tang Hao spoke with gritted teeth. His Elder brother Tang Xiao was dead, and not even one-tenth of the Clear Sky Sect remained; his heart was filled with hatred.
When Ning Rongrong heard this, her emotions also fluctuated wildly; after all, this young lady was currently the only survivor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Father, what exactly happened?" Tang San pressed.
Tang Hao continued, "Both you and I are members of the Clear Sky Sect. Your second Spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer inherited from the Sect. At this point, we can no longer sit still and wait for death."
It was indeed a direct showdown. Tang Hao really had no better choice; he could only place his hopes for revenge on Tang San.
He had always believed that Tang San's talent was excellent, and based on his current learning state, he was also the highest level among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San himself was somewhat dazed; this fact meant that his beautiful academy life was probably coming to an end.
The other six were also exceptionally indignant, as if they had invisibly labeled Spirit Hall as their greatest enemy.
"You should continue to participate in Spirit Hall's Soul Master Competition. I will give you special training in the coming days."
"I have traveled to many places in the world recently and discovered many lands of opportunity, and..."
Tang Hao stopped halfway through his sentence. He didn't seem to want his secrets discovered, even though he was facing Tang San.
Since many people were listening, he couldn't just shut up, so he made an excuse: "And I have friends helping me; I've learned a lot from them."
Tang San didn't take it in; instead, he said abruptly, "If I want to take full revenge, I wonder if I have to become a god to do it?"
