Chapter 269 The Role of the Light and Dark Killing Field

The Light and Dark Killing Field was very useful for Miguel and Dagles. Before arriving in Douluo Continent, Miguel always thought that Soul Masters were really nothing special, since the Douluo Continent described from Tang San's perspective in the original work didn't seem to have many dangers.

However, as Miguel gained a deeper understanding of the Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, he discovered the darkness hidden beneath the surface of peace. Being a Soul Master is a dangerous profession; killing and death are its main themes. Furthermore, the Soul Master community is rife with desperate individuals, some of whom would rather die than live!

Although the Spirit Hall once had many corrupt officials who embezzled, abused their power, and disregarded human life, Miguel had to admit that the Spirit Hall played an extremely important role in the Douluo Continent.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall constantly pressing down on all Soul Masters, preventing the vast majority of them from acting rashly or wantonly slaughtering civilians, the common people of Douluo Continent would definitely be living in dire straits, with no guarantee of survival. After all, the laws of the two great empires, Tian Dou and Xing Luo, intentionally or unintentionally favor the nobility, that is, the Soul Masters.

Besides, the vast majority of soul masters in Douluo Continent are low-level soul masters whose cultivation cannot break through to the Soul Venerable level. These low-level soul masters are neither good enough for high-level positions nor good enough for low-level ones, and apart from the Spirit Hall, not many forces are willing to take them in.

The vast majority of low-level Soul Masters have virtually no life skills, and a large number of them are arrogant and unwilling to do what they consider lowly work. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall providing these low-level Soul Masters with a monthly salary to ensure their livelihood, no one would know what these people would do.

Although the Spirit Hall makes the continent appear peaceful overall, how could spirit masters, beings who wield extraordinary power, possibly live so peacefully? In human settlements, cities or rural areas are better off, as the Spirit Hall's suppression prevents many spirit masters from acting recklessly. However, in places like the Soul Hunting Forest, Sunset Forest, and Star Dou Great Forest, in addition to guarding against attacks from spirit beasts, one must also be wary of attacks from other spirit masters or even teammates.

To improve their chances of survival, most Soul Masters hone their killing skills, especially lower-level Soul Masters who lack sufficient Soul Power reserves. Combat skills are even more important for them, as a good skill can save their life at a crucial moment.

To put it bluntly, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament organized by the Spirit Hall is just a game of make-believe. It looks good on paper, but real soul master battles are actually very brutal. One careless move and you could lose your life.

Take the Spirit Hall as an example; its methods of training the younger generation of Soul Masters are undeniably cruel. Despite the Spirit Hall's suppression, there are still plenty of lawless outlaws on the continent.

The vast majority of fugitives are imprisoned after being captured alive. These blood-stained fugitives become whetstones for the Spirit Hall to hone the combat power of the younger generation.

But these desperate criminals were not lambs to the slaughter; they would stop at nothing to survive. Miguel had only been there for a day and had already been the target of various assassination attempts. If it weren't for Daglas's protection, Miguel might have died in those attacks long ago.

Although Miguel still wanted to go in to train and increase his combat experience, he was strongly stopped by Daglas and Father Luke. After all, Miguel's previous performance was too poor, and Miguel was also worried about his life, so in the end he had to give up.

Now that the Light and Dark Killing Fields are here, Miguel no longer has to worry about dying. After all, even if he dies in the Light and Dark Killing Fields, he will only lose a part of his spirit, which he can recover after resting for half a day.

Getting back to the main point, after investigating for a while, Miguel put the Light and Dark Killing Fields and the Forging Hammer out of his mind and immediately began to look into how to repair the Heaven's Gate. Upon seeing the repair details, Miguel frowned immediately.
