Chapter 253 The Match Ends

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi cursed inwardly again, since everyone present knew that this so-called "master" was Yu Yuanzhen's son.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had just helped the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan solidify its position among the top three sects, and now they've caused this mess. Although it's not a big deal, and the Spirit Hall is very likely not to criticize it by name in the Spirit Daily, all the major and minor forces are involved now, and soon the entire spirit master world will know about this. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation will definitely suffer a significant blow.

Just as Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi were having a headache, Miguel said again: "Ever since the evil soul master Tang Hao joined forces with soul beasts to seriously injure himself and take over as Pope, many soul masters in the martial soul world have gradually lost their respect for the Spirit Hall. Some young soul masters even worship the evil soul master Tang Hao in various ways, and some even slander the Spirit Hall in various ways."

What impressed me most was when I had just awakened my Martial Soul and was on my way to our Martial Soul Temple with my fellow Martial Soul Awakeners, we saw a Great Soul Master coming to the Martial Soul Branch Hall to collect his monthly salary. He expressed his gratitude in various ways as he received his salary.

But later, when I went out to dinner with the deacons of the Spirit Hall, I ran into this Spirit Master. At that moment, he was spewing all sorts of vulgarities, slandering the Spirit Hall and complaining that our monthly salary was pitifully low. I was speechless. His ungrateful behavior was vividly displayed before my eyes.

After arriving at the Spirit Hall, through conversations with the people of Spirit City, they learned that some powerful figures, upon arriving in Spirit City, put on airs, acted recklessly, and completely disregarded the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, I reported this matter to the Elders' Council, and the elders unanimously agreed to my proposal. Although the Spirit Hall couldn't afford to spend a lot of money to investigate those ungrateful villains, it was still possible to ensure that all Soul Masters, except for Title Douluos, would bow to His Holiness the Pope.

Therefore, from now on, no matter who comes to Wuhun City, any Soul Master who has not reached the strength of a Title Douluo will need to kneel and pay homage to His Holiness the Pope.

On the mainland, almost all Soul Masters have received favors from the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall has always been committed to hunting down evil Soul Masters and protecting the peace of the mainland.

Therefore, bowing is the bare minimum when one sees His Holiness the Pope, the ruler of the Spirit Hall. Bowing to the Pope is a sign of respect for his power, for the position of Pope, for the Spirit Hall, and for all those within the Spirit Hall who protect the peace of the continent.

Regarding this final matter, all the Soul Masters from various factions on the Douluo Continent felt there was no problem with it.

The Spirit Hall has indeed made many contributions to the continent, and in recent years, the Spirit Hall has strictly investigated corruption, resulting in a clean and transparent political environment within the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, even before joining the major powers, many members of sects had received help from the Spirit Hall. For example, the Spirit Hall's monthly stipend for low-level spirit masters helped many commoner spirit masters through their weak periods, preventing them from signing various unequal treaties with so-called major powers and selling themselves to them for a little bit of cultivation resources when they were weak.

Bowing to the Pope was nothing to them; it was simply an expression of respect, regardless of their stance. The Spirit Hall's help to them was enough to warrant their bowing.

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen looked very grim. Although the Spirit Hall had not named them, they both knew that the powerful force Miguel was referring to was their two sects.

They themselves knew what kind of people their clansmen were. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a little better; most of the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were support-type Soul Masters, and their tempers were milder. As for the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, calling them arrogant would be an understatement. They had no idea where their confidence came from; they dared to act haughtily and give the people from the Spirit Hall a hard time.
