Why did Teacher Wang bring us to the auction house? Huo Yuhao was a little confused, and Wang Yan explained to them.
Turning around, Wang Yan faced the crowd and said,""Although you didn't see the other academies 'competitions, you're still in the same league. However, I must tell everyone that this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Tournament is already very different from before. The difference was that there were already very few pure Spirit Master academies nowadays. All the academies were developing toward the integration of soul masters and soul masters.”
"Fuse?" Bebe frowned slightly."Teacher Wang, how do I fuse them?"”
"There are many ways to fuse. Their simplest method was to work hard to nurture the academy's Spirit Masters and then purchase spirit tools to equip them. They only needed to know how to operate a soul device. Even if their control over soul devices was not as exquisite as a soul master's, it could still enhance their combat effectiveness. Pure soul masters were becoming rarer and rarer.”
"Almost every Spirit Master Academy's participating students are equipped with spirit tools. It was especially so for some of the academies that were sufficiently powerful. They had also established their own soul guidance system. Not only were there soul instructors in their teams, but they had also customized soul devices for the other soul master students, greatly increasing their overall strength. Let me give you a simple example. For example, what would happen if an agility-type soul master like Nan Nan was able to use a soul device that could increase her speed freely? At the same time, she could equip herself with some life-saving defensive soul devices to counter her weakness in defense. Wouldn't that allow her to unleash her full strength without any misgivings?”
"I didn't expect that five years later, the changes would be so great. In fact, to be precise, this situation had already begun decades ago. It's just that at that time, the vast majority of academies were proud of themselves as Spirit Master academies, just like us, and would feel that using spirit tools lowered their status. But as time passed, academies that used soul devices in the previous years of the competition had already obtained more and more good results. This was constantly changing the mindset of other soul master academies. I just didn't expect it to explode in our competition. According to my observation, more than eighty percent of the participating academies that passed the first round of the elimination matches are equipped with soul devices. Moreover, with this experience, it was likely that all the academies would be equipped with soul devices in the next tournament.”Xu Sanshi frowned,"They forgot the glory of the soul masters." Shouldn't our soul masters 'battles be pure? The ability cultivated by oneself was the most reliable and trustworthy. Soul tools are external objects after all."
"You're right, of course. I can tell you with certainty that San Shi's idea is shared by the vast majority of our academy's higher-ups. It's precisely because of this that he's been restricting the academy's soul guidance department's development. However, after observing this year's competition, I have to say that this crucial point has reached a point where it cannot be left unchanged, and it cannot be delayed. After the competition ends, I will immediately raise this point to the academy.”
"Soul devices have become soul-like weapons. This is a product of the evolution of the times. If we don't follow the pace of the times, we will be eliminated one day. Our Shrek Academy has a rich heritage, but how long can we squander it? You will be the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters. I hope to start by changing you. So, I brought you here. Coincidentally, there's a soul tool auction in this auction house today. I hope you can set an example for the academy. "Of course, I won't force you, and I can't force you. If anyone is unwilling, you can go back now.”Wang Yan's eyes were slightly perturbed after he finished speaking. He naturally understood how deeply rooted the soul master tradition was in Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy's soul guidance system had been established for many years, but it had always been completely suppressed by the martial soul system. It had never truly developed.
The martial soul system inner court disciples were the elites among the elites, but what about the soul guidance system? There were also inner court disciples in the soul guidance faculty. However, those inner court disciples were mediocre after graduation. They were still capable of creating a reputation for Shrek Academy's soul guidance faculty on the continent. This was because of the pressure of tradition! The suppression of this tradition had already become the greatest obstacle restricting Shrek Academy's progress.
Bebe and the others were all silent, all of them in deep thought.
"Let's stand to the side first." Wang Yan led the crowd to the side of the auction hall so that they wouldn't hinder the other guests who came to participate in the auction.
Wang Yan took a deep breath and said,""I know that each of you will have different thoughts. However, the vast majority of them resisted. In that case, I'll say two more things. Why are we in such a predicament in the competition? It was because there was a leak when we were carrying out the surveillance mission. The main team members are either dead or injured, which is why you reserve teams are pushed up. But have you ever thought about it? What if they were equipped with soul devices? What kind of situation would that be?"
"The seven members of the main selection team are all at the Soul King rank or above. In other words, they can at least be equipped with rank-5 or even rank-6 soul devices. Let's take an extreme example. What if each of them had a defensive soul device? After all, each of them was powerful enough to fight. What they needed more was to defend themselves. Caitou, you're a top student in the soul guidance system and also Fan Yu's disciple. Tell us, if they had a defensive soul device on them during the corpse explosion, would the outcome have been different?”
Everyone was moved by his words. That's right! If he had a defensive soul device with him, perhaps that tragedy would not have happened. If that was the case, how could this year's competition have put them in such a situation?
Wang Yan took a deep breath and said," You've all seen the effects of soul devices. How about a flying soul device? Without it, would you have been able to complete the surveillance mission in such a short time before coming here? In order to maximize their flying speed, even our academy's Elder Xuan, who is at the top of the pyramid, has borrowed a flying soul device. I can tell you that the flying soul device Elder Xuan uses is merely a rank-8 soul device. That's also the best soul tool reserve in our academy at present. Then, what about the higher rank-9 and rank-10 soul devices?”
"Moreover, I can also reveal to you that Elder Xuan's cultivation is definitely more terrifying than most of you can imagine. His Martial Soul was called the Taotie Divine Ox. It was an extremely rare and special Martial Soul. It could also be said to be a variant Martial Soul. The flaw of this kind of martial soul was that one had to constantly eat and drink. Eating and drinking itself was a kind of cultivation. However, Elder Xuan's cultivation base had already reached rank-98. He was the Title Taotie's Hyper Title Douluo. In the entire continent, in a one-on-one situation, there was almost no one more powerful than him.”
Even though everyone had a very high estimation of Elder Xuan's cultivation, when Wang Yan said the number ninety-eight, the seven of them gasped in unison. What kind of concept was ninety-eight?!
"A few hundred years ago. I dare to say that Elder Xuan is already close to an invincible existence. However, was this the case today?”Wang Yan continued," I can tell everyone with certainty that Elder Xuan is still almost invincible in a one-on-one battle. However, the Sun Moon Empire had several powerful rank-9 soul masters who could contend with Elder Xuan and even threaten his life. A top-notch soul master. It was also an extremely terrifying existence. Their completely different fighting style allowed them to use all their spirit abilities to increase their spirit power strength. Then, he would launch an attack with his tyrannical soul device. Moreover, don't forget that rank-9 soul masters aren't the limit of a soul master. Once a rank-10 soul master appeared in the Sun Moon Empire in the future…Then, how should we face them?"
At this point, Wang Yan's emotions were already a little agitated." There's one more thing. Perhaps it won't be too much of a problem in your generation. However, with the development of the times, the problem I discovered will definitely affect all soul masters. That is a soul beast."
"Soul beasts?" Wang Yan's sudden words had no beginning or end. Everyone was puzzled.
Wang Yan nodded vigorously and said,""I'm talking about the number of soul beasts. You've all learned it in the academy. Soul beasts have existed on our Douluo Continent since ancient times. Moreover, many years ago, there were no humans on the continent. It can be said that our continent is completely a world of soul beasts. It could even be said that…We humans evolved from soul beasts, and we are intelligent soul beasts.”
"As time passed, about hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago, we humans began to appear. In the beginning, we humans were still very weak and could only become food for soul beasts. However, since we humans exist, there is a reason for our existence. Although our physical strength is weak, we also have a strong place, that is, our reproductive ability and learning ability.”
"With the evolution of the times, our human intelligence was gradually developed. And our powerful reproductive ability also allowed us to survive as food for the soul beasts. When we humans have developed to the point where our intelligence can be compared to top-notch soul beasts, we will be able to defeat them. The continent began to undergo earth-shattering changes.”
"We humans began to use our intelligence to create tools, traps, and weapons. He used the time and place to fight against the soul beasts. We learned how to cooperate, how to concentrate our numbers to attack a single soul beast. Gradually, we began to have the ability to hunt soul beasts, and no longer just become prey for soul beasts. Our food began to become rich, and humans also began to gradually grow.”
"After the evolution of intelligence, another change came from the appearance of soul masters. When the first human with innate full spirit power accidentally drew a spirit ring from a killed spirit beast into his body. A soul master was born. After thousands, tens of thousands of years of change and research, we humans have finally gradually grasped the techniques to become Spirit Masters. And our population began to increase rapidly. Wisdom allowed us humans to understand how to build, and we began to have our own homes and cities. The number and strength of the soul masters also began to increase.”
"The soul beasts are still powerful, but they are gradually unable to pose much of a threat in front of our intelligence and learning talent. Finally, we humans ruled the continent. And soul masters have become the most powerful and important occupation for us humans.”
Although Wang Yan described the entire process of human evolution in a very simple way, he did mention a few major changes. At this point, he suddenly changed the topic.
"But, children. You might never have thought about the changes that soul beasts would undergo with the development of mankind.”
"That's right, soul beasts have probably existed for tens of millions of years. The number of soul masters in our human race is still one in a thousand. However, we've always been nibbling away at the spirit beasts 'living space, increasing our spirit rings by killing them. More and more high grade soul beasts are being hunted by us. Just like how you all have thousand-year soul rings now. That was something that would only appear after a soul beast cultivated for a thousand years. And the number of these high-grade soul beasts was similarly limited!”
"Ten thousand years ago, on the continent, the overall strength of the soul beasts still surpassed us humans. But today, ten thousand years later, I can say with certainty that the soul beasts 'overall strength is no longer comparable to ours. Because too many high grade spirit beasts have become our spirit rings. Then, let me ask you, what about after another ten thousand years? What would the continent become in another ten thousand years? Can he still casually go into the soul beast forest to hunt soul beasts like us? I can give you a definite answer. In another ten thousand years, even a ten year spirit ring will become a luxury. The soul beasts 'final destination can only be kept in captivity by us humans, becoming complete vassals.”
"At that time, it's very likely that all Spirit Masters can only attach ten year spirit rings to their bodies. Even a hundred year spirit ring will become an unreachable existence. At that time, what should we rely on to increase our strength? Soul devices would certainly become the source of mankind's true strength after the era developed. This was the inevitable phenomenon of the evolution of the times. I can't change this process, and neither can you. What you need to do now is to accept reality. In the future, our descendants will only be stronger than us with soul devices. And you are now at a critical moment in the changing era. Only by perfectly fusing your soul devices with your own abilities can you become sufficiently powerful. It won't be eliminated by the times."
Wang Yan's words had been stuck in his heart for more than a day or two. Now that he said it, it was deafening for Huo Yuhao and the others. Everyone was deeply shocked.
"Teacher Wang, are you done? If you're done, bring us to the auction house! To be honest, this is my first time here, so I'm quite nervous!”Huo Yuhao was eager to try, not shaken by the words just now. Ten Fragrance, who was behind him, also nodded. It seemed that she was also very interested in this auction!
Wang Yan looked at them in surprise." Didn't you hear what I just said?”
"Oh! I heard it!"
"Then why…"
"Teacher Wang, then I would like to ask, since you said that soul beasts will go extinct, what about humans? Will it also go extinct?"
"What are you talking about!"
"It's nothing! He was just lamenting. In the face of nature, in the end, humans, no, even gods! It was just a drop in the ocean. It was really too small! Even though you're right to consider the long term, who knows what will happen to the Douluo Continent after ten thousand years? At least for a thirteen-year-old kid like me, it's too long! Forget it!"
" You…" Wang Yan could tell that this guy was acting like he didn't care about this at all! However, he was right. He was still a 'child'. He shouldn't have considered this matter at all!
As for Wang Dong, he was a little disgusted by this matter. He did not go in with them and went straight back to the tavern…
After that, Huo Yuhao and the others entered the auction. Wang Yan bought Huo Yuhao a 'milk bottle' that could recover his soul power. Huo Yuhao didn't want it, but he still accepted it. After all, it was a gift from someone else. He couldn't possibly reject it! He watched as the soul devices were auctioned off one after another!!! He could not help but feel a little tired. Just as he was about to leave, an auction item caught his attention...
In his mind, a familiar figure who had never spoken before finally said the first sentence,
" Metal of Life!!"
