Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 156 Golden Generation

Although Tang San and Ning Fengzhi asked a lot of questions one after another, Catwoman didn't know most of them. She didn't even know where her village was. She was once found and captured after getting lost in the mountains.

The only thing she knew was that in that village, besides her, there were other people who had undergone such martial soul mutations and changes in their physical characteristics.

Ning Fengzhi said, "She can't even summon her martial spirit anymore. It must have merged with her body."

Tang San looked at the cat girl in front of him and said, "I once found some special soul guides in the cave in the Wumu Basin. Some wolf bandits were imprisoned in those soul guides."

"Wolf bandit?"

Tang San nodded and said, "Well, Wolf Bandits are special soul beasts born from a Demonic Wolf Soul Beast and a Human woman. However, in that cave, these Wolf Bandits all developed insectoid characteristics, as if they had been tortured. It's just that Wolf Bandits themselves don't have martial spirits, so I didn't think about it that way at the time."

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "During the Titled Douluo Conference, some spirit masters suspected that those insect-man spirit beasts might have only appeared recently. Now I suspect that some spirit masters are using some ancient spirit guide technology to conduct human experiments, fusing their martial spirits with their bodies, and thus giving birth to beings like Catwoman."

Xiao Wu looked at Catwoman with some pity and asked, "Why do you do this?"

Ning Fengzhi said, "Perhaps someone wants to imitate the effect of a hundred thousand year soul beast transforming into a human. After a hundred thousand year soul beast transforms into a human, it will possess talents that surpass those of ordinary soul masters. Not only will it have the cultivation speed and wisdom of a soul master, but it will also be born with soul bones, amazing physique, and rapid cultivation speed. Conversely, if a soul master can transform into a beast, without the need for a martial soul to possess the body and become a soul beast, then the soul master's strength will also be greatly improved, and there is even a chance to obtain the long lifespan of a soul beast."

"Who doesn't want immortality?"

A hundred thousand year old soul beast can transform into a human, but a Titled Douluo cannot transform into a beast and rebuild himself. A level seventy martial soul avatar is the same as a martial soul possession. Both consume soul power to temporarily transform oneself into a martial soul. More importantly, it is impossible to obtain the long lifespan of a soul beast.

Tang San nodded in agreement. If the cat girl in front of him was not born with zero soul power, but a soul master who could practice, then her physique would definitely be better than that of an ordinary person. However, this special variation had no martial soul, and it was unknown whether it could be attached to a soul ring.

After hearing what Ning Fengzhi said, Xiao Wu and Lan Yin's expressions changed slightly, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Not only has the mystery not been solved, but there are even more of them." Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"Perhaps if we follow the clues, we can find that village and discover who is conducting this spirit experiment. But I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Ning a lot. I'm just a kid and can't be of much help." Tang San simply waved his hands. The water was too deep and too dangerous. What could a four-ringed spirit master like him do?

Ning Fengzhi saw Tang San's expression and laughed, "Hahaha, that's natural. Even if the sky falls, it will be us, the older generation, who will hold it up. You and Rongrong are still young, so leave the rest of the matter to us to investigate."

Tang San didn't stay long after saying this. With the clue of Catwoman, Ning Fengzhi should be able to find something. He just needed to wait. Not long after, Bai Chenxiang also returned. It was obvious that she couldn't find anything either. After all, Ning Fengzhi had long been eyeing the Catwoman's auction and had arranged for the sect disciples to investigate her background.

"Young Sect Master, I'm sorry." Tang San waved his hand and said softly, "Ning Fengzhi is, after all, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He would never allow our Clear Sky School to get involved in this clue. If someone really can research the technology of fusing martial soul and body, it will completely revolutionize the martial soul world. How could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possibly let go of such a possibility? This matter is not for me to concern myself with. Inform the sect elders and the Sect Master about this and let them handle it."

Tang San muttered to himself, "I actually want to completely fuse my martial soul and body. Which madman came up with this idea? Will this fusion make me a soul master or a soul beast? Is this how insect people came about? I always feel like something is wrong."

Tang San shook his head and put these wild thoughts behind him. There were still too few clues now, so he could only wait for the sect elders and Ning Fengzhi to find out something.

Tang San had a premonition that he was only one step away from the truth, and he was almost able to connect all the clues.

After Tang San left the auction, Xiao Wu and the others naturally left as well.

Xiao Wu asked in a low voice: "Sister Yin, can human spirit masters transform into humans and start over like us hundred thousand year spirit beasts?"

If other people heard this, it would definitely cause an uproar, because it meant that Xiao Wu and Lan Yin were hundred thousand year old soul beasts transformed into humans!
Lan Yin shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The ability of a hundred thousand year old soul beast to transform into a human is a divine gift to soul beasts, a chance to change themselves. It's an ability only soul beasts possess. But now it seems that human soul masters have been researching. The incident in the Star Dou Great Forest may not be related to soul masters. I didn't expect them to be investigating the Zerg as well."

"Right now, the most important thing for us is the Continental Elite Spirit Master Competition. Only by winning can we have the opportunity to enter the Spirit Hall and find that person, the one called Bibi Dong. She might know the truth."

The next morning, Tang San and Bai Chenxiang, who knew nothing, set out to return to Wuhun City. Bai Chenxiang was now Tang San's errand boy, a servant, so he naturally followed him to Wuhun City. This made Bai Chenxiang much faster when running errands and shopping.

Wuhun City is located between the two empires, and Tiandou Imperial City is not too far from Wuhun City. Tiandou Imperial City is just outside the border of Tiandou Empire. At this time, Wuhun Academy is extremely lively because the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition will be held in half a year.

The Continental Elite Soul Master Competition was divided into three stages: preliminaries, promotions, and finals. Spirit Hall Academy had a quota of recommended students, allowing them to advance directly to the next round. However, this was actually more difficult to obtain than participating in the preliminaries, as there were simply too many students in the Spirit Hall Academy.

"Hey, who do you think can represent the academy this year?"

"Why ask? Just look up and see who are the top seven elite soul masters. That's who they are." The student from the Wuhun Academy pointed to the list in front of him, pointing to the seven people at the top.

"You don't understand, don't you? This list isn't definitive." A thin student objected, "Many students from the Holy Academy have been practicing in seclusion to prepare for the upcoming qualifying rounds. They've been hiding their abilities and haven't participated in the qualifying rounds. Aside from the top three of the Golden Generation, the other four positions aren't necessarily the ones on the current list."

When the words "Golden Generation" were mentioned, everyone looked at the three names at the top, swallowed their saliva, and said, "Do you think it's possible that a dark horse will suddenly emerge and dethrone the Golden Generation?"

　I'll catch up after waking up. I'm about to enter the stage of the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, and I'm stuck on the text.
