Chapter 296: The Root Cause of Jiang Nan Nan Selling Herself to Save Her Mother
The best candidate for the awakening ceremony?
Could Jiang Nan Nan be the one chosen?
In the live broadcast room, after hearing the exchange between the leader and elders of the Xuanming Sect, many were left with complex feelings.
Some were eager to see if Jiang Nan Nan would be chosen, while others didn't want her to be chosen.
However, the broadcast continued.
After introducing the situation of the Xuanming Sect, the camera shifted, and it focused on Jiang Nan Nan.
Jiang Nan Nan, following the address provided by Shrek Academy, had finally found the location of the Xuanming Sect.
Along the way, she had encountered an elder from the Xuanming Sect, who had learned of her intentions.
Upon hearing Jiang Nan Nan's story, the elder decided to take her to the Xuanming Sect.
According to Jiang Nan Nan's self-introduction, if she were telling the truth, then she was undoubtedly the perfect candidate for their Xuanming Sect's second martial soul awakening ceremony.
After taking Jiang Nan Nan to the Xuanming Sect, the sect confirmed her age and cultivation, concluding that she wasn't lying.
However, to be sure, the Xuanming Sect decided to let Jiang Nan Nan stay in the sect temporarily while they investigated her background.
The Xuanming Sect sent people to trace Jiang Nan Nan's origins and, after confirming her background through Shrek Academy, they learned that Jiang Nan Nan had come to them in search of the Xuanwu Divine Pill to save her sick mother. To repay them, she was willing to sell herself to the Xuanming Sect.
As a result, the Xuanming Sect gave Jiang Nan Nan the Xuanwu Divine Pill.
However, as the price, Jiang Nan Nan had to cooperate with Xu Sanshi in the second martial soul awakening ceremony, which would take place once Xu Sanshi turned fifteen.
Although Jiang Nan Nan felt sorrowful about this arrangement, she had no choice but to agree.
The scene shifted again.
Jiang Nan Nan, wearing a celebratory red robe, sat solemnly in a decorated room.
Outside the door, a tall young man, dressed in bright red clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was walking toward the room.
After that, the camera did not continue.
The camera then transitioned again to the outside of the Xuanming Sect.
Jiang Nan Nan, wearing a pink dress, walked out of the Xuanming Sect with an indifferent expression, heading toward the vast forest in front of her.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
The large blood-red characters appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
A cold voice rang in everyone's ears.
[The event for this broadcast has ended, and the Q&A begins now!]
[Question: What is the root cause of Jiang Nan Nan selling herself to save her mother?]
[Rewards for this Q&A: ]
[First place: Human: Three opportunities for martial soul evolution; Soul Beast: Three opportunities for bloodline evolution!]
[Second place: Human: One thousand-year celestial soul ring; Soul Beast: Thousand-year cultivation increase!]
[Third place: One Xuanwu Divine Pill!]
What! The first-place reward is three chances for martial soul evolution?
What! The first-place reward is three chances for bloodline evolution?
In the live broadcast room, upon seeing the rewards for the first-place winners, both the human Soul Masters and the Soul Beasts were astonished, filled with joy and desire.
When the rewards were announced, Tang San, who was in the Killing City, felt the same excitement.
However, besides coveting the first-place rewards, Tang San was also yearning for the second-place prize.
The reason was simple.
In the Killing City, there were no Soul Beasts to hunt.
Tang San's cultivation was nearly level forty.
But since there were no Soul Beasts to hunt in the Killing City, without any soul rings to absorb, even if Tang San reached level forty, he would not be able to break through to the Soul King level.
However, if he could win the second-place prize of a thousand-year celestial soul ring, that would be amazing!
But while Tang San was eager for the rewards, the question of this live broadcast's Q&A troubled everyone.
From the live broadcast, it seemed that the root cause of Jiang Nan Nan's decision to sell herself to save her mother was Shrek Academy's inaction.
However, from the previous live broadcasts that spanned six months, it was clear that the answer wouldn't be this simple.
So, what was the real cause?
As many people pondered the answer, Lin Yu was also thinking about the question.
In many previous live broadcast Q&As, whenever something bad happened, the culprit was often Tang San.
However, this time the question was different.
This time, the question didn't ask for the culprit but instead asked for the root cause of Jiang Nan Nan selling herself to save her mother.
On the surface, the answer seemed to be Shrek Academy's failure to act.
Not only did they refuse to help Jiang Nan Nan, but they also pushed her to sell herself to the Xuanming Sect.
But simply attributing the blame to Shrek Academy was a bit one-sided.
Because within Shrek Academy, while there were teachers like Zhou Yi who were arrogant, self-centered, and incapable of understanding the struggles of commoner Soul Masters, there were also responsible teachers.
The reason Jiang Nan Nan's pleas were ignored by Shrek Academy was mainly because of her low status as a commoner and because she was just a core disciple without enough status or value to be prioritized.
If it had been someone like Ma Xiaotao, or if Jiang Nan Nan had been one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, the result would have been completely different.
But Jiang Nan Nan was still an exceptional talent, and the fact that Shrek Academy saw her as having so little value was certainly problematic.
Not to mention, if Jiang Nan Nan were in Spirit Hall, and the Xuanwu Divine Pill was in the hands of the Immortal Palace...
Spirit Hall would absolutely have helped Jiang Nan Nan and purchased the Xuanwu Divine Pill from the Immortal Palace.
No one from Spirit Hall would dare to hide this matter and sell her off.
At the end of the day, Lin Yu believed that the root cause of this was the absence of Spirit Hall as the only commoner Soul Master force.
In Ultimate Douluo, commoner Soul Masters had already fallen to the bottom of the social ladder and had no voice.
No one would speak up for them, nor would anyone dare to.
For example, in Douluo I, the Shrek Seven Monsters like Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun could be considered commoner Soul Masters.
But in Douluo II, only Jiang Nan Nan was a commoner Soul Master; the others came from noble backgrounds.
Was this because there were no talented commoner Soul Masters?
No! Obviously not!
Lin Yu believed that the reason there were so few outstanding commoner Soul Masters in Ultimate Douluo was simply because there were no Soul Master subsidies, and commoner Soul Masters were struggling just to survive.
Moreover, without Spirit Hall, even in Shrek Academy, teachers like Zhou Yi existed. In other forces, the situation was even worse.
In this environment, commoner Soul Masters had almost no chance to rise up!
