Chapter 68: No One Visits the Spirit Hall's Library
"Forget it, I can't control you, just be sure of yourself."
Ma Xiunuo sighed, his eyes fell on Zhou Qing again, and he invited him, "Your martial soul is the heart. I don't know how to cultivate this kind of martial soul, and what it can be cultivated into, but I still hope that you can really join the Spirit Hall. With your innate talent of full soul power, you will definitely be able to enter the holy land in the minds of all soul masters on the continent: Spirit City, and join the Spirit Hall Academy to study."
"Thank you, Grandpa Mashunuo, but I would like to think about it again." Zhou Qing politely declined Mashunuo's kindness.
Join Wuhun Palace?
No.
The three major forces on Douluo Continent, the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and the Spirit Hall, each have their own problems:
Tiandou Empire——
The royal family has big problems. Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and replaced the prince with a cat. The internal affairs must be very complicated. If you get involved before you have enough strength, you will only become a pawn.
When it comes to scheming and intrigue, Zhou Qing thinks he is no match for those politicians who have been immersed in officialdom for years, so it is better not to waste his brain...
Star Luo Empire——
The process of succession to the throne was too cruel.
Davis was stronger than Dai Mubai in every aspect, but he was not as familiar with Tang San as he was when he grew up in such a struggle environment. Zhou Qing also felt that the Xing Luo Empire's situation of almost everything serving the military was a bit close to JGism...
Spirit Hall——
The current Pope is Bibi Dong. Zhou Qing doesn't know how crazy this woman is... But unless the priests in the Temple of Worship intervene, this woman will most likely not listen to the advice of anyone weaker than her, except Yu Xiaogang.
In terms of the law of the jungle, the interior of Wuhun City must be more vividly reflected than the imperial capitals of the two empires. After all, it is a city where everyone is a soul master, and soul masters have always respected strength.
I went to the Spirit Hall, but with only one ring, I couldn't make any effective changes.
Unless you become a disciple of an elder and enter the real system of the Spirit Hall.
But in that case, it would be difficult to prevent oneself from being influenced and changed by the Spirit Hall's system.
Moreover, the nature of the Spirit Hall is similar to a religion...
The most important point is that he has not fully understood the specific situation of the three major forces in this real world. Therefore, before making a choice, it is better for him to be a free soul master for a period of time.
"A very mature child." Through the brief contact with Zhou Qing, Mashuno also had a simple understanding of him and did not force him.
Then, it was Tang San's turn to test his soul power.
His soul power level is level fourteen, infinitely close to level fifteen.
Ma Xiunuo opened his mouth again and said in surprise: "You two little guys from the Holy Soul Village are really amazing. You are another example of a soul master who has just broken through and has greatly improved his soul power... What soul beast's soul ring did you absorb?"
"Wolf's hair grass, about three to four hundred years old." Tang San told him.
"Blue Silver Grass, Wolf Hair Grass? They are indeed quite suitable." Mashu Nuo also invited Tang San, but Tang San also refused - he wanted to rebuild the Tang Sect in this world! Even surpass the Tang Sect!
How to join other forces?
Ma Xiunuo sighed, and his resentment towards Su Yuntao increased: "It's all that bastard's fault. He should have brought you back as soon as possible."
Finally, it was Xiao Wu’s turn to test her soul power.
Her spirit power was lower, only level 13. With Zhou Qing and Tang San as the two pearls, Xiao Wu, this rough jade, seemed less noticeable. Ma Xiunuo simply stamped her spirit certificate and returned it to Xiao Wu.
"No, grandpa, why don't you invite me to join the Spirit Hall?" Xiao Wu was a little dissatisfied and felt that Matthew Nuo treated her differently. Could it be because her spirit power was relatively low?
"Forehead···"
Ma Xiunuo thought that Xiao Wu was with Zhou Qing and Tang San, so he assumed in his heart that she would not agree, so he did not send out an invitation, but now -
"So, little girl, are you willing to truly join the Spirit Hall? With your innate full spirit power, you can definitely join the Spirit Hall Academy in Spirit City. Your teachers will be at least at the Spirit King level, and the Titled Douluo in the Elder Hall may also come to the academy to give lectures on a whim."
"I don't want to."
Xiao Wu directly denied it.
She hadn't wanted to join in the first place, but she felt that Matthew Nuo treated her differently and was trying to save face. Now that she knew that there would be Titled Douluo giving lectures at the Spirit Hall Academy, she didn't want to join even more.
She hasn't reached maturity yet. Studying in an academy where everyone is a spirit master and even Titled Douluo would occasionally hang out there, does she think her life is too long?
Mashuno was not angry at all, he laughed and said, "Cute little girl!"
"Grandpa Matthew, I want to ask, are there any books in this Spirit Hall?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Have."
Ma Xiunuo was surprised, but still said, "Outside the living room, on the second floor, is the library, but it does not lend books. Spirit masters who are not members of the Spirit Hall want to read books, they have to pay a fee, five bronze soul coins per hour."
"So expensive?" Xiao Wu was skeptical. "The library of Notting College is open to students for free."
“That’s different.”
Mashouno smiled and said, "Most of the books in the Notting College library can be bought on the market. Besides, who said that the Notting College library is free? You can read it because you have paid the fees. Work-study students complete the tasks assigned by the college and get paid, and part of the money is used to offset your tuition fees."
Zhou Qing understood that since he was not a student of Notting College, he could not access the information.
Moreover, Notting College is a soul master college. Even though it is a primary school, it is not a charity organization. It is impossible for it to provide free education to students. The required expenses must have been included in places that the working students are not aware of.
"The books in our Spirit Hall's library are mostly related to spirit master cultivation. Throughout the ages, since Notting City was established, many spirit masters who left Notting City would record their cultivation and adventure experiences and send them back. The Spirit Hall is responsible for collecting and organizing them."
"Among them, there is more information about soul beasts and even soul bones."
Speaking of soul bones, Mashunuo's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, but it was fleeting. "These materials were written by successive soul masters with their entire lives. Five bronze soul coins an hour is already very cost-effective. But there are many people like you who think it's too expensive..."
"Thank you, Grandpa Mashuno, for letting us know. We will come here often to read."
Zhou Qing thanked him, and he also understood one thing in his heart, that is, most civilian soul masters would never spend copper soul coins to look up information in the library of the Spirit Hall under normal circumstances. Only when they needed to upgrade their soul rings would a small number of soul masters choose to come to the Spirit Hall to look up information on soul beasts that they thought might be suitable for them.
After all, soul masters worship strength, not knowledge, and most soul masters who write biographies, except for those who truly want to conduct research, probably just want to leave more traces of their existence in the world.
