Chapter 107 The Duties of the Spirit Hall
The other two major powers have survived to this day and developed into the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. Naturally, they have also inherited this agreement and need to assume this part of the responsibility.
In the past, the monthly allowance for Soul Masters was shared equally by the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
While this funding was a burden for the two great empires, it was not without potential profit; otherwise, they would not have voluntarily contributed it.
In Douluo Continent, awakening a martial soul requires a massive amount of resources.
Whether it's the awakening stone needed for the awakening ceremony, the materials for inscribing the magic array, or the soul power crystal for testing innate soul power, they are all extremely rare and expensive resources.
In addition, the Soul Master who presides over the awakening ceremony is also indispensable.
To awaken martial souls for all children over the age of six across the entire continent, the number of soul masters needed would be enormous.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, only the Spirit Hall meets both of these criteria, and only the Spirit Hall has the capability and is willing to awaken martial souls for the general public free of charge.
The two great empires do not have the capacity to awaken martial spirits on a large scale for ordinary people, and even if they did, they would not do so.
After all, the two empires were a combination of interests between the royal family and the nobility, and in their eyes, there was only profit.
From the perspective of the two great empires, rather than wasting enormous resources on such a counterproductive endeavor, it would be better to provide monthly payments to Soul Masters according to the agreement, letting the Spirit Hall be the sucker.
In any case, the total number of Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent, even if you add them all up, doesn't exceed six figures.
Although Soul Masters below level 30 are the most numerous, the total monthly Soul Master payments required by the two empires over the course of a year amount to just over ten million gold coins.
This sum of money is a drop in the ocean compared to the massive fiscal revenues of the two great empires.
For both empires, the burden of paying monthly fees to Soul Masters is actually more beneficial than harmful.
First, the royal families of the two great empires can gain the support of commoner soul masters, making their rule more stable.
Secondly, the two empires can gain the right to recruit civilians and share the awakened martial spirits of civilian soul masters equally with the Spirit Hall, so that not all civilian soul masters will turn to the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, the monthly payment for Soul Masters is not only a great welfare policy, but also a win-win situation.
If the Spirit Hall weren't just a pure spirit master force with insufficient financial resources, and if its founder, the Angel God, hadn't had little desire for land, population, or wealth, but only wanted to gather faith to achieve godhood and ascend to the divine realm...
Otherwise, the entire Douluo Continent would have long been under the control of the Spirit Hall.
There's no point in having the other two forces; the current Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires simply don't exist anymore.
Even with insufficient financial resources, the Spirit Hall still chose to allow ordinary people to awaken their spirits for free.
For the two great empires, the Spirit Hall only required them to provide monthly stipends for low-level commoner spirit masters, and the free awakening of commoner spirit masters was divided equally among the three parties.
Otherwise, why would the two great empires gain the favor of commoner soul masters?
There won't even be a single hair.
This is nothing like what that fame-seeking, useless master Yu Xiaogang said, that the Spirit Hall overstepped its bounds and used funds provided by the two great empires just to win people's hearts.
The monthly allowance for Soul Masters is clearly a benefit that the Spirit Hall fought for for the vast majority of ordinary Soul Masters.
In his mouth, however, it became the achievement of the two great empires and the fault of the Spirit Hall.
As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Yu Xiaogang was a true member of the aristocracy, enjoying a life of luxury from a young age and having no shortage of cultivation resources.
Considering his cultivation level of a level 29 Great Soul Master, wasn't it achieved by consuming a large amount of family resources and forcibly piling it up?
If he were a commoner Soul Master with only 0.5 level innate Soul Power, would he have the ability to cultivate to the level 29 Great Soul Master?
That's impossible. With his aptitude, there's no way he could break through level nineteen, let alone level twenty-nine.
Even though he was expelled from his clan, the useless master had no worries about food, clothing, or gold soul coins to spend. This was a privilege that ordinary soul masters could never enjoy.
You should know that in Douluo Continent, one gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a whole year.
Yu Xiaogang could easily pull out a soul tool belt from his person and give it to that bastard Tang San.
That's a soul tool.
In the Douluo Continent, soul tools are extremely precious items; how could a commoner soul master possibly possess one?
It is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, what right does Yu Xiaogang, a member of the aristocratic class, have to criticize the Spirit Hall? He is merely deliberately smearing the Spirit Hall out of hatred in his heart.
The Spirit Hall has never publicly stated that the money paid by these Soul Masters each month comes from the Spirit Hall.
Of course, the Spirit Hall wouldn't deliberately promote the two great empires.
After all, although the three forces maintain a peaceful coexistence on the surface, they are secretly vying for power, wary of each other, and regard each other as competitors.
We all have the same goal, we're all cut from the same cloth, so why is the Spirit Hall so hateful and evil?
At the very least, the Spirit Hall has made it possible for all commoners to awaken their spirits for free.
The manpower and resources spent were no less than, and in some cases far exceeded, the financial resources spent by the two great empires.
It's important to understand that the Spirit Hall exists for much more than just providing free spirit awakening services to all civilians.
It is also responsible for cleaning up evil spirits throughout the continent.
For example, the evil spirit master.
Why are there so few evil soul masters in Douluo Continent these days?
It was because of the Spirit Hall's relentless pursuit and extermination, killing almost everyone they saw.
This means that evil spirit masters have no place to survive in the Douluo Continent.
Those evil spirit masters who want to survive have only two choices:
You can either hide in the shadows, becoming a shadowy rat that never sees the light of day, or choose to enter the killing city and never come out again.
Otherwise, if the Spirit Hall discovers their whereabouts, they will surely face punishment and extermination.
In addition, the Spirit Hall is also responsible for maintaining order in the Spirit Master world and apprehending Spirit Masters who commit crimes without cause.
A typical example of this is Zhao Wuji from Shrek Academy.
He was wanted by the Spirit Hall for causing trouble and affecting ordinary people.
The value of the responsibilities undertaken by the Spirit Hall far exceeds the value of the funds paid by the two great empires.
Furthermore, although the money for the monthly Soul Master's contribution comes from the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo, where does that empire's money come from?
Ultimately, it all comes down to the exploitation of ordinary people.
In that case, the Spirit Hall demanded that the two great empires contribute funds to subsidize commoner spirit masters at lower levels.
Isn't this precisely what it means to take from the people and use for the people?
Why not?!
And that bastard Tang San, he received six years' worth of Soul Master monthly stipends from the Spirit Hall, yet he showed absolutely no gratitude.
Receiving the monthly Soul Master allowance from the Spirit Hall at least saved him from continuing to be a work-study student, improved his life, and saved him countless hours of cultivation time.
It's one thing that Tang San, that scoundrel, doesn't show any gratitude, but the Spirit Hall won't say anything about it either.
However, due to his personal grudge, he claimed that everyone from the Spirit Hall was his enemy and that he would mercilessly exterminate them.
This kind of person is simply utterly awful.
