At this moment, the entire arena fell silent, and the entire Star Luo City fell silent as well.
Everyone could feel the sorrow and lament in Su Yan's heart.
Ten Thousand Years ago versus now.
Once, Spirit Hall's branch halls were spread across the entire continent, representing the protection of the land and helping all people undergo Martial SoulAwakening.
Now, however, branch dens of Evil Soul Masters were everywhere, representing evil and death.
This stark contrast filled everyone's heart with immense sorrow; it truly was the difference between Heaven and Hell!
Su Yan seemed to have said nothing, not mentioning any of the deeds Tang San had done, yet it felt as if he had cursed Tang San's ancestors back eighteen generations.
No!
Su Yan didn't need to curse at all; everyone who heard his words was already cursing Tang San and Shrek in their hearts.
The trends of the world dictate that what has been united for long must divide, and what has been divided for long must unite.
You defeated Spirit Hall, and whether you were righteous or not, couldn't you fucking do something decent for once?
Even if you couldn't do better than when Spirit Hall was around, you should have at least maintained the status quo, shouldn't you?
And now?
The banners of Evil Soul Masters were planted across the entire continent, and before the Soul Master Tournament, over a thousand Evil Soul Masters could even gather in Star Luo City to commit evil.
That dog Tang San was acting like he was dead!
On the street.
A common vendor suddenly cursed aloud:
"Fuck Tang San's mother! What kind of dogshit Shrek is that? Number one academy under heaven my ass—aren't they just pure trash?"
Once someone took the lead, countless people began venting and hurling curses.
"Exactly! Bullshit about 'only accepting geniuses'—it's an academy of pure trash!"
"Damn it, if we'd known this would happen, Spirit Hall should have won Ten Thousand Years ago! Then we'd actually have a chance at Martial SoulAwakening."
"That dogshit academy is complete garbage. If anyone calls them the number one academy under heaven again, I'll fight them! Do they even deserve it?"
"Bah! Ten Thousand Years ago, there were no Evil Soul Masters, and now there are so many. What the Hell do those people even do all day?"
"I heard that bullshit academy only admits geniuses and looks down on commoners like us. To enter Shrek Academy, not only do you need top-tier talent, but you also need a recommendation letter from a city lord!"
"Fuck them, aren't they just bastards? Compared to Spirit Hall, which built branch halls across the whole continent to awaken everyone's Martial Soul and maintain order in the Soul Master world, Shrek can't even compare to a single strand of hair."
"Garbage!"
...
God Realm.
"Achoo!"
God-King Tang suddenly sneezed, a strange sensation welling up in his heart.
His sneeze immediately drew the attention of Douluo 2's Dai Mubai and the others.
Everyone looked at God-King Tang in confusion.
Pendant Wu asked, "Brother, did something happen?"
God-King Tang frowned in contemplation:
"I have a very strange feeling. Something bad is happening; there must be some trouble on the Douluo Continent."
With that said.
Following this feeling, God-King Tang secretly used his Divine Sense to observe Douluo Continent. As soon as his senses reached Star Luo City, he saw Su Yan showing off with his Dharma Idol.
However, just as God-King Tang tried to listen in on what was happening, he was immediately struck with a critical hit right to the face.
"Tang San, fuck your mother!"
"Pfft!"
In the God Realm, God-King Tang was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it!"
"Damn untouchables!"
"I will kill you! I will kill every last one of you!"
Pendant Wu and the others immediately grew tense.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Third Brother, what happened in the Lower Realm? Why are you so furious?"
God-King Tang gritted his teeth in fury and said, "That damn Su Yan! He is slandering me! He is slandering me in front of everyone in Star Luo City!"
Back at the tournament arena.
Everyone was currently feeling extremely displeased.
Honestly speaking!
The current Shrek Academy was actually not much different from the former Spirit Hall.
It was likewise an independent city that was not governed by any nation.
However.
The contributions they demonstrated were completely incomparable.
Of course.
That seemed to only be true for the general populace; for the great Clans of the various Empires, Shrek Academy suited their interests much better.
At this moment.
Huo Yuhao was also filled with confusion. Turning to Xuan Zi, he asked, "Elder Xuan, what do you think of what Lord Su Yan just said?"
Dai Yueheng and the others also looked at Xuan Zi with peculiar expressions.
Virtually all of these students had small or large Clans behind them. Strictly speaking, they were merely students of Shrek Academy, not people who truly belonged to Shrek Academy.
Therefore, they also wanted to hear Xuan Zi's thoughts after listening to Su Yan's speech.
Xuan Zi's expression was awkward, and he felt immensely uncomfortable inside.
Su Yan hadn't uttered a single profanity, nor had he fabricated a single detail; the general situation he described was identical to the history recorded in Shrek Academy.
Although Shrek Academy's history glorified Tang San's side, Spirit Hall's branch halls had indeed once covered the continent, AwakeningMartial Souls for all commoners and distributing stipends to all low-level Spirit Masters.
And during Spirit Hall's era, the concept of Evil Soul Masters did not even exist.
All of this was true!
Yet after Spirit Hall was destroyed and the Tang Sect and Shrek replaced it, things had gradually developed into the current state.
Especially with regard to Evil Soul Masters.
To put it plainly, the current Holy Spirit Cult was not weaker than Shrek Academy.
Damn it all!
Why did that bastard Huo Yuhao always have to bring up the most awkward topic every single time?
Xuan Zi glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao and said irritably, "I'll look at it with my eyes closed, how about that?"
"Sigh!"
Xuan Zi let out a sigh after speaking and said, "In our Shrek's history, it is recorded that Bibi Dong went mad and turned into a demon, and Spirit Hall harbored wild ambitions, launching a war that plunged the continent's people into misery."
"Thus, Sea GodTang San led the allied forces of the Two Great Empires, ultimately defeating the Martial Soul Empire and saving the continent's living beings."
"History is written by the victors. In our history, Spirit Hall's heinousness is practically no less than that of the current Holy Spirit Cult."
"When Spirit Hall existed, it truly was able to cover every single small village on the continent, helping those commoners awaken their Martial Souls. But the history books write that Spirit Hall had wild ambitions, doing so to win over commoner Spirit Masters to expand its own power."
"Furthermore, there indeed was no concept of Evil Soul Masters back then; whenever a Spirit Master committed evil, Spirit Hall would deal with it once reported. But history records that Spirit Hall ran rampant across the continent, and every Sect, large and small, in the Soul Master world suffered their oppression."
After hearing Xuan Zi's words, Huo Yuhao and the others fell into silence for a time.
They didn't fully understand, but in truth, Xuan Zi had already given a very objective and accurate answer.
In the eyes of the continent's commoners, Spirit Hall was the Spirit HallSu Yan described; but in the Soul Master world, Spirit Hall was the Spirit Hall recorded in history.
"Su Yan!"
Right at that moment, an enraged voice suddenly boomed from the heavens.
"Bastard!"
"You bastard, what on earth did you do to make the people of the entire Star Luo City curse me?! You despicable, shameless scoundrel!"
