People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 96 96. Will the free awakening of martial spirit make you betray your faith?

"Sister Xiaoya, the relationship between the Sky Soul Empire and Shrek Academy is a little delicate right now. For the sake of the overall situation, don't cause trouble at this critical juncture. We will need them to fight against the Sun Moon Empire in the future."

Under Huo Yuhao's strong persuasion, Tang Ya decided to keep this grudge in mind first, and then come back to settle the score with Sun Ling when Mingdu is captured!
As a fangirl of Sea God Tang San, Tang Ya was not convinced. She directly used the power of the leader of Tang Sect and ordered Bei Bei to turn the car around and head to Soto City, the birthplace of Shrek Academy.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Tang Ya, everyone could only follow her wishes. Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi were also a little curious. In their previous lives, they were used to hearing praises for Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion, and Poseidon Tang San. In this life... they wanted to hear more about the reputation of Poseidon Pavilion among the people. Was it as bad as Sun Ling said? If Poseidon Pavilion wasn't doing well enough, they could change it after they took over.

Just like that, with Beibei driving, the eight-member Tang Sect team rode a hand tractor towards the heart of the Tianhun Empire. After spending two full days, they finally saw the city wall of Soto City.

The crowd did not enter the city, but came to the ruins of Shrek Academy outside Soto City.

In the huge Shrek Academy (village), there was only an old man holding a broom and sweeping the dust in the village.

Tang Ya stepped forward, snatched the broom from the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Shrek Academy is so big, how long will it take you to clean it by yourself? Come, let us help you clean."

As she spoke, Tang Ya winked at the group of seven behind her. The seven understood and quickly took out various cleaning tools to clean Shrek Academy (Village).

The ground in the village is paved with high-quality stones, so it is not difficult to clean. It took less than half an hour and the whole village looked brand new.

Tang Ya then returned to the old man and asked the question in her mind, "Grandpa, why are you the only one cleaning? Where are the other village guards?"

After the demise of the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy moved into the Spirit City. In order to highlight the merits of Shrek Academy, Xue Beng renovated the ruins of Shrek Academy in Soto City. The villagers who originally lived in this village served as "village guards" to maintain all facilities of the Shrek Academy ruins. Every quarter, the Tiandou Empire would allocate a sum of money as funds to maintain the Shrek Academy ruins.

At the beginning, these village guards lived a good life. Although this batch of funds was deducted at various levels and it was an astronomical figure for these villagers who had never seen the world, every household lived a prosperous life with this batch of funds.

Later, Xue Beng died in his forties due to excessive indulgence. After his successor came to power, the funds were reduced again and again, and finally stopped at that time. The Soto City Lord's Mansion gave these village defenders one gold soul coin every month.

Seeing that they could no longer eat the emperor's food, these village defenders had no choice but to pick up their hoes again and return to a self-sufficient life.

Later, the Tiandou Empire split, and these village defenders no longer received even the monthly reward of one gold soul coin.

Of course, Tang Ya was not aware of this. She just thought that for a full ten thousand years, the government had not stopped paying the salaries of these village guards.

The old man said calmly, "Her Royal Highness has set up a farmers' association, with a soul master of civilian origin serving as the village chief. While managing the internal affairs of the village, he will also awaken the martial souls for villagers of the appropriate age for free."

"Our village is not covered by the farmers' association. All 156 people in the village, except me, have moved out."

Hearing this, Tang Ya took a deep breath and cursed: "It is your blessing to be the village guardian of the old site of Shrek Academy. In order to awaken your martial spirit for free, you actually chose to betray your faith. You are clearly a group of ungrateful wolves." "Ginger-eyed wolves? Haha, hahaha..."

The old man said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my grandson has awakened a very powerful martial soul, which seems to be the martial soul of the original body or something, and it is innately full of soul power. He was directly brought back to the sect by the adults of the original body sect. It is said that he has the potential to be a Titled Douluo."

"My Liu family has been commoners for generations, but we are able to produce a spirit master in this generation, and a spirit master who may become a Titled Douluo in the future. This is considered an honor to our family."

As he spoke, the gray-haired old man actually started crying without caring about his image.

“With my grandson’s talent, he is fully capable of bringing an old man like me to the Body Sect to enjoy a better life, but I rejected him directly… For ten thousand years, our village has guarded the old site of Shrek Academy. I wanted to use the last few years of my life to stand guard for the last time, but what I got in return was the slander from you, the spokespersons for the Sea God!”

"What's the use of faith? Did Shrek Academy and Poseidon Pavilion awaken our martial spirits for free and give my grandson a chance to become a spirit master?"

"With the way you guys are behaving, Shrek Academy...will be finished sooner or later!"

"You... are so outrageous!" Tang Ya said gritting her teeth.

Sun Ling was fine, he was a soul master after all, for the sake of the overall situation, she could just curse at him, she endured it, but who was this old, rotten civilian?
Tang Ya couldn't hold back, and five vines condensed from blue silver grass spread out, tearing the old man in front of her into pieces.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lian's eyes became more profound. In a foreign country, Tang Ya openly killed an old man who disliked Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek Academy. Is this... the Tang Clan's style?
What does this have to do with ordinary people? The hustle and bustle is all for profit. If anyone is to blame, it should be Vina who set up a farmers' association and plundered what belonged to the sea god...

wrong!

It's obvious that Shrek Academy and Poseidon Pavilion didn't do well enough, so what did Vina do wrong? She just wanted to make her country stronger. Don't you, Tang Ya, look for the reasons in yourself instead of blaming others for betraying their beliefs?

Alas! If she hadn't spent enough effort on Tang Sect, she would have left Tang Sect when she returned to Shrek City!

He was just an ordinary civilian, so killing him was fine. But the people of the Tang Sect felt that the Tianhun officials would hold them accountable for a dead old man.

After dragging the old man's body to the mass grave, the eight members of the Tang Sect left Soto City on a hand tractor. Their next stop was the hometown of the Sea God Tang San - Shenhun Village.

When they arrived at the Soul Village, people were queuing up to awaken their martial spirits, and they didn't show any good looks to the Tang Sect Eight. After many setbacks, they stopped traveling and started looking for the treasure according to the route of the treasure map.
