Du Weilun was frightened by Xiao Qiang's soul system and broke out in cold sweats. The reason why the nobles were so powerful was because of their innate martial souls and their monopoly on acquired soul rings.

The first soul ring, the hundred-year soul ring, requires your family to have some money and to know some soul masters. This stage is not so bad, and it is a stage that ordinary people can get, as long as your family is relatively wealthy.

To have a thousand-year soul ring as the third soul ring, you need to be from a minor noble family. Only if there is a soul king-level strongman in the family, will the third soul ring have the feasibility of a thousand years.

As for the ten thousand year spirit ring, you need to have a relationship with a middle or even great noble to obtain it.

Normally, commoners cannot have any connection with middle-class nobles or even great nobles. The only way for them to have any connection with great nobles is to sell themselves as slaves in their homes.

Soul masters with ordinary talents go to the families of small and medium-sized nobles to sell themselves as slaves in order to obtain hundred-year and thousand-year soul rings. Soul masters with higher talents can go to the families of large nobles to sell themselves as slaves in exchange for ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Excluding those with particularly high talents, if a soul master wants to cultivate and have a better soul ring, he either has to have a powerful soul master at home and be born into a noble family, or he can only choose to go to the noble family and beg for food on his knees.

This is the rule that has been adhered to in Douluo Continent for thousands of years. If you want to become strong, you must either be born into a noble family or have a relationship with a noble family. There is no other way.

There are people who are proud and don't want to kneel, but the ratio of one white, two yellow and three purple spirit rings is enough to make a person who has the potential to become a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo stuck in the Soul Saint realm for life and unable to break through.

The innate martial spirit determines most of it, and the acquired spirit rings are blocked by the great nobles. The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. This has been the unchanging rule in Douluo Continent for thousands of years, but now this rule is about to be broken.

It is not difficult to say that there is no need for collateral, as long as you reach level ten, you can borrow money from the Soul Palace to buy a hundred-year soul ring. The hundred-year soul ring only persecutes the interests of the lower-level nobles. Shrek was not there to protect the interests of the lower nobles from the beginning.

Shrek also didn't care much about the Millennium Soul, because the Millennium Soul also only meant the interests of the minor nobles. After reaching level 30, one could take out a loan to buy a Millennium Soul. The Three Thousand Year Level Soul Ring also represented the minor nobles.

But the problem is that the Soul Palace even sells the ten thousand year old souls that ordinary soul masters or small noble families can sell themselves.

A ten thousand year soul means a ten thousand year soul ring, and the souls that the Soul Palace wants to sell are twenty thousand year level souls, and this twenty thousand year level soul can be absorbed by the fifth soul ring.

A ten thousand year soul can produce four ten thousand year soul rings. When a soul master fuses a twenty thousand year soul ring when he is at the fifth soul ring, then this soul ring is extremely good, even better than imagination.

The sixth soul ring is also a 20,000-year soul ring. This soul ring is still a good one. Even in Shrek, not everyone has a 20,000-year sixth soul ring.

The seventh soul ring is indeed a little lacking, but with the foundation of the first two 20,000-year soul rings, the overall strength of the soul master is not bad. Three 20,000-year soul rings are enough to make it possible to become an eight-ring soul douluo.

The 20,000-year-old eighth soul ring was indeed not as good as it could be, but first of all, the Soul Palace did not say that higher-level souls could not be purchased. Secondly, a soul master who could use a 20,000-year-old soul ring as the eighth soul ring was doomed to find it difficult to even reach level 82.

The Soul Palace's sale of souls gave those people, who originally had to kneel down and beg for food from the great nobles, the right to choose.

When souls that are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years old can go to the Soul Palace to take out loans to purchase soul rings, soul masters from ordinary families, even if they don't have any powerful elders or wealthy families, don't need to beg for mercy from the great nobles in order to get a better soul ring.

It won't be long before even an ordinary soul master in the Sun-Moon Empire will be able to rival the great nobles of the original Douluo Kingdoms in terms of soul ring cultivation resources. But soul rings are the most important thing for soul masters. Excluding some special opportunities, everything else is secondary compared to soul rings. Once this level of resources is obtained by all the people of the Sun-Moon Empire, the original Douluo Kingdoms will be in great danger.

"This Soul Hall is even more outrageous than the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago!"

"No, this matter must be reported to the principal. No, it must be reported to Poseidon Pavilion. Xiao Xiao, you and the others will take a look. I want to report all this to Poseidon Pavilion."

Du Weilun's entire body was soaked with cold sweat. He was no longer just worried about Shrek. This technology, which could bring the soul rings of all soul masters, whether great nobles, small nobles, or commoners, to the same level, was something Shrek absolutely could not tolerate.

He had to use Shrek's power to put pressure on the Sun-Moon Empire. Even if he couldn't stop the Soul Palace's sale of souls, he at least had to find a way to get some particularly powerful souls to be exclusively supplied to Shrek.

Souls are something that can change the soul world. Even if he doesn't belong to Shrek, he must at least be restricted by Shrek.

Du Weilun quickly contacted Poseidon Pavilion and reported everything he knew to them.

After hearing what Du Weilun said, Poseidon Pavilion was stunned. They had never thought about things like souls before.

If Du Weilun had not assured them again and again that everything he saw was real and was definitely not an illusion brought about by simulated soul skills, and that things like souls would be promoted throughout the Sun-Moon Empire and that it would not be long before they received reliable news, they would never have believed that the Sun-Moon Empire could create souls.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Tell me, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Moon sat at the first seat of Poseidon Pavilion and convened this Poseidon Pavilion meeting.

"Mr. Mu, the so-called soul, that thing is unlikely, we have received all the things in the Spirit Hall, and we have searched through all the classics, but we can't find any records about souls."

"Now is not the time to have no records. The information Du Weilun passed on is almost impossible to be wrong. What I want is a solution, not a study of whether this matter is possible."

"Mr. Mu, this..."

"Just say whatever you want to say, whether it's right or wrong, it's better than wasting time here."

"Yes, Mr. Mu, what I mean is... how about letting Xiao Xiao go to the Soul Palace as an undercover agent?"

I found out while writing that in Douluo Dalu 3, only the Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City has the saying that the top souls can rush to the tower. This logic is consistent with what I deduced.
