Vast Sea City.
As Gu Yuena and the other three reached this point, looks of anger appeared on their Faces.
Ridiculous.
They had wondered before why Liam liked to bash Tang San so much; it turns out this Tang San could actually be this shameless?
And such a double standard too!
After you take the Slaughter God Domain for yourself, you turn around and say such an evil place doesn't deserve to exist?
If the Slaughter City didn't deserve to exist, where would you have obtained the Slaughter God Domain from?
You probably destroyed it on purpose because you're afraid someone else might obtain the Slaughter God Domain in the future!
They could only say it was indeed very disgusting.
Spirit Hall.
Xiao Wu and the group were also dumbfounded.
Before, they only saw Liam joking about how some "Evil Spirit Beast already has a path to its own death," but without detailed context, they couldn't fully grasp it.
With this mention of the Slaughter City, they truly understood now.
Double standards.
The "Pure and Noble" Tang Buddha.
No lies detected.
The weight of the content in Liam's Diary is still rising!
Huo Wu looked at Liu Erlong and asked, "Aunt Erlong, have you ever been to the Slaughter City?"
"Tch."
Liu Erlong said crossly:
"I'm not crazy, why would I go to a hellhole like that?"
"But then again, the Slaughter City is indeed very evil. Cannibalism is normal there, and everyone inside is a vicious criminal."
"Without the suppression of Spirit Hall, those people would indeed wreak havoc on the continent."
Listening to Liu Erlong's words, everyone's expressions turned grim; they could hardly imagine what kind of Hell that place was.
Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue looked at Hu Liena and said:
"If I remember correctly, Liam wrote in his Diary before that you would later go to the Slaughter City to train because you lost to Tang San, right?"
Hu Liena nodded slightly. "Mm, but I definitely won't go now. Liam said that with him around, I don't need to push myself that hard."
"Heh."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at her. What are you showing off for?
He made promises to me too!
[Next, let's write about Spirit Hall's "bullying" behavior. The participants are Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire.]
[Spirit Hall: From now on, you two little brothers have to pay protection money every year. This money will be distributed to Soul Masters annually. Not paying is simply not giving Face to our Titled Douluos.]
[It's not that I want to say it this way, but just ask! If the two Great Empires wanted to give out subsidies themselves, are they brain-dead? Why would they give out money in the name of Spirit Hall?]
[Just use your brain for a second. If the two Great Empires truly wanted to give out subsidies, would they need to go through Spirit Hall's hands,]
[and let Spirit Hall play the good guy?]
[Of course, they're still giving them out in Douluo Continent 2 and douluo continent 3. Here, I can only cite a classic quote.]
["After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you, and they will raise your wages. This is not because they have found their conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because we were here. — Che Guevara"]
[Vast Sea City.]
Gu Yuena and the other three fell into deep thought upon seeing this sentence.
This sentence carried a lot of weight; they needed time to savor its meaning.
At the same time.
All the women who possessed a diary instance were also pondering this quote.
[I'll continue bashing Tang San. As a child, you took Spirit Hall's money and used the Spirit Awakening they provided, but when you grew up, you started calling Spirit Hall an evil force?]
[As expected of the "Pure and Noble" Tang Buddha. When you first went to the Clear Sky Sect and were weak, you were timid and said, "I've come to atone for my father's sins."]
[Then you went back to the Clear Sky Sect with overwhelming strength and said, "My father was not wrong; it was you who were wrong!"]
[Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with this specific thing. Personally, I think when I'm weak, I'll act humble, and when I'm strong, I'll act tough.]
[The problem is, you can't act all "Pure and Noble" while being a total hypocrite!]
On the other side.
On the way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh while sitting in the carriage:
"We are all just accidents; Tang San is the true love."
"No matter what Liam writes in the Diary, he can't seem to avoid writing about Tang San!"
Dugu Yan laughed and added:
"No."
"Yu Xiaogang is also a true love."
"Pfft."
Ning Rongrong burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Spirit City.
Liu Erlong and the group stared at each other blankly.
This is just ridiculous!
He said he was going to write about Spirit Hall, but he involuntarily started writing about Tang San again. He really does "love" him.
This is what true love looks like!
"What a pity,"
Huo Wu said, clicking her tongue.
"What's a pity?"
Xiao Wu asked with a curious Face.
Huo Wu said solemnly, "It's a pity that Yu Xiaogang has been missing from the Diary these past few days!"
Jiang Zhu thought for a moment and said:
"It's not a pity. Is Grandmaster not satisfied with level thirty? Think about it, there are several eras in Douluo, but Yu Xiaogang only exists in our era."
Hearing this, everyone thought she had a point!
[Oh right, there's one more thing about Spirit Hall that needs to be written.]
[Spirit Hall established branch halls in every city, and they captured Soul Beasts to establish Soul Hunting Forests for artificial breeding.]
[I have to say, this is quite good for both ordinary Soul Masters and the Soul Beast Clan.]
[By the era of Douluo Continent 2, the number of Soul Beasts had already significantly decreased. Although douluo continent 3 came up with some Spirit Pagoda to replace hunting, I'm just like, "Heh!"]
[Want a Spirit Soul? Pay up! A defective Spirit Soul costs thirty thousand each, and it's a random draw—you get what you get. No money? Why are you trying to be a Soul Master without money?
My Spirit Pagoda isn't a charity. Can you poor peasants just get lost and stop wasting our business time? Do you understand the value of a monopoly?]
[That's all for today's content. There's more that could be written, but I plan to go eat with Gu Yuena and the others first.]
[Let's leave it at that!]
[I can only say that what Spirit Hall did might not have been perfect, but without Spirit Hall, the continent would only get worse. This makes me think of another phrase — "Competitors are idiots!"]
[Ridiculous!]
[I didn't expect that even after coming to Douluo, the weight of this phrase would still be rising. Note: "Competitors" refers to peers or other factions.]
[Vast Sea City.]
Gu Yuena and the other three's Faces froze, shocked by the content of Liam's Diary. Even though Liam only mentioned it casually, they all caught it.
Spirit Pagoda?
Spirit Soul?
Replacing Soul Beasts?
Zi Ji and Bi Ji wanted to speak, but were stopped by a look from Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena could still keep her composure; after all, she was the soul beast co-lord.
Asking Liam now would not only expose them, but since Liam had no close ties to them, he would be even less likely to talk. This required a careful approach.
It would be best to seek help from Bibi Dong and the others next, but based on Liam's final words, that didn't seem like the most perfect solution either, did it?
On the other side.
Ning Rongrong was also incredibly amused to see those five Soul-piercing words.
The more Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong, the funnier she found it. She asked, "Rongrong, do you think there's a possibility that the 'Competitors' Liam mentioned includes the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Ah?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, scratching her head in conflict. "Does our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect count?"
"I don't think so!"
"I think Liam must have been talking about the two Great Empires."
Dugu Yan replied, "I don't see it that way."
"The two Great Empires are, the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects are, including Sea God Island and so on—they all are."
"As long as it's a governing power similar to Spirit Hall, it's a standard for Spirit Hall to be compared against, so they all count."
