Just as Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, a thick stack of Materials appeared out of thin air on the table.
She said nothing more, merely waving her right hand casually, and the stack of Materials scattered like a flock of startled white birds, tracing smooth arcs through the conference room.
The papers did not fly about in disarray; each document landed precisely in front of the participants, not one more or less, exactly one for each person.
Leng Yaozhu offered no explanation, simply saying, "Everyone, please finish reading these Materials first."
The attendees had originally been speculating in their hearts about the intention behind Leng Yaozhu's actions, but seeing her demeanor now, their doubts were suppressed; she was clearly prepared, and extremely well-prepared at that.
This only made everyone more curious: what kind of information could make Leng Yaozhu so certain, certain enough to believe that after reading it, they would agree to let Huo Yuhao, a seven-ring Spirit Saint, succeed to the position of Spirit Envoy?
They each lowered their heads and opened the Materials in front of them.
For a time, only the sound of turning pages remained in the large conference room.
At first, everyone's expressions were different.
Some were indifferent, some were scrutinizing, and some even appeared somewhat dismissive.
But as they read more pages, the frequency of the page-turning sounds in the conference room began to change; the speed of turning pages slowed down.
Some lingered on a certain page for a long time, hesitant to turn it; others looked back repeatedly, as if confirming they hadn't misread anything.
Then, the first person raised their head.
It was a middle-aged councilor, known for being steady, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with undisguised shock.
He looked at Leng Yaozhu, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he made no sound and lowered his head to read again.
Subsequently, more and more people raised their heads.
Their expressions varied, but that shock was the common underlying theme.
Afterward, these high-ranking powerhouses couldn't help but make a "hissing" sound; it was the sound of gasping in extreme surprise!
"Vice Tower Master Leng, is the content in here... all true?"
After everyone finished reading the Materials, Xu Shengqun, one of the four Spirit Envoys, was the first to speak.
His voice was not loud, but it carried an irrepressible urgency, his burning gaze fixed on Leng Yaozhu, as if waiting for a definitive answer.
Xu Shengqun had always been neutral in the Spirit Pagoda, judging matters solely on his own assessment, and rarely taking sides in factional struggles.
Therefore, his asking this question showed that he had been moved by the content in the documents.
Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly at him: "Naturally, it is true. Yuhao has been researching this technology for many years, and it has already undergone repeated experimental verification. Spirit Soul Legacy Technology can indeed be realized."
As her words landed, a low commotion broke out in the conference room, and several councilors exchanged glances.
Some quick-witted people couldn't help but recall something: three years ago, Huo Yuhao had applied for an independent laboratory.
At the time, this matter hadn't attracted much attention; most people just thought it was a child messing around and didn't take it to heart, and no one paid much attention to what happened in that laboratory later.
But now it seemed that Huo Yuhao wasn't just messing around; it was likely that this Genius youth had really researched something extraordinary.
As everyone knew, the birth of the soul spirit system was indeed a revolution in the Spirit Master's world, but it was not without its flaws.
Although Spirit Souls had replaced spirit rings, they faced the same problem: Spirit Souls were also consumables.
However, the Spirit Soul Legacy Technology proposed by Huo Yuhao had bluntly broken this common knowledge.
The core of this technology was the ability to extract Spirit Souls from a Spirit Master's body once again.
The extracted Spirit Soul would not dissipate and could be fused again with a new Spirit Master.
In this way, Spirit Souls were no longer "disposable" resources, but became wealth that could be passed down from generation to generation.
This technology was named "Spirit Soul Legacy Technology," a name that lived up to its reality.
And the reason Huo Yuhao was able to produce such a mature proposal in just a few short years was naturally due to the guidance of Electrolux behind the scenes.
After all, the initial Spirit Soul Fusion methods were all developed based on the magic of the Holy Demon Continent, and for Electrolux, researching methods to undo Spirit Soul bindings was not difficult at all.
It wasn't that the Spirit Pagoda hadn't researched the matter of undoing Spirit Soul bindings, but they had never succeeded.
Therefore, the unveiling of this technology naturally brought immense shock to everyone present.
A problem that generations of Spirit Pagoda researchers hadn't solved had actually been solved by this youth, Huo Yuhao.
In their minds, they couldn't help but think of the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, the creator of the soul spirit system, that god-ascended Spirit Ice Douluo!
The same name, the same appearance, the same Spirit—they had to wonder if there was truly something special about this disciple of Leng Yaozhu.
The rumors that Huo Yuhao was of the Spirit Ice Bloodline had already been circulating within the Spirit Pagoda, and now it seemed they were likely not without basis!
Qiangu Dongfeng looked down at the Materials in his hands, the calm smile on his face having completely vanished.
His gaze swept over the text line by line, but his complexion sank bit by bit, becoming so dark it could almost drip water.
He never expected that Leng Yaozhu would still be hiding such a trump card.
Spirit Soul Legacy Technology—this could no longer be summarized by the words "technical Breakthrough"; this was a key achievement capable of redefining the strategic value of the soul spirit system, and calling it a major contribution would not be an exaggeration at all.
But the problem was that there was only one position for Spirit Envoy, and now Huo Yuhao and Qiangu Zhangting had become direct competitors.
Qiangu Dongfeng's calculations were completely disrupted by this sudden blow; he had to re-evaluate the situation and was also quickly thinking about how to turn the tide.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then an invisible message was quietly sent to the ears of the Fist Emperor Douluo, Damo.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was no longer the quiet one from before; many people could no longer restrain themselves and began asking Leng Yaozhu for more details about the Spirit Soul Legacy Technology.
Most people's expressions were filled with shock and excitement, and right in the midst of this heated discussion, a loud voice suddenly interjected, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"The main business of our Spirit Pagoda is Spirit Souls. If Spirit Souls can truly be passed down from generation to generation, wouldn't the Spirit Masters' reliance on the Spirit Pagoda be greatly reduced?"
Damo sat in the middle of the conference table, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression grave.
His gaze swept across everyone present, and he continued unhurriedly: "Once a Spirit Master has a Spirit Soul inherited from their Clan, they no longer need to come to the Spirit Pagoda to purchase new Spirit Souls."
"In the long run, the Spirit Pagoda's business scale will only continue to shrink."
"So, this technology may look like progress, but it might not necessarily be a good thing for us."
As soon as these words were spoken, the heated discussion in the conference room immediately quieted down.
Many people's previously excited expressions gradually subsided, and their brows began to furrow slightly.
Some nodded in thought, others whispered opinions to their neighbors, and all wore thoughtful expressions.
It had to be said that Damo's words were not without reason.
The reason the Spirit Pagoda was able to rise rapidly was because of the exclusive business of Spirit Souls.
If Spirit Masters wanted to obtain Spirit Souls, they had to come to the Spirit Pagoda; there was no other place.
But if Spirit Souls could truly be passed down from generation to generation, it would mean that some large families and large Sects could satisfy their own Spirit Soul needs through internal circulation and would no longer need to come to the Spirit Pagoda to purchase them.
In this way, the Spirit Pagoda's revenue, influence, and strategic value would all suffer an impact that could not be ignored.
