Spirit City.
The Pope's Palace.
Hu Liena was also stunned.
Was she now just like her teacher Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, being pulled out to be insulted every now and then?
Forget it.
She had better go find Xie Yue quickly. With such a large organization like Spirit Hall, and even more things to do after unifying the continent, if she stayed busy like this, she wouldn't even become an Administrator by the finale!
Life is too hard for me.
"Someone, go call Xie Yue... and Yan here!"
[Number Nine: So this is the Top Merit Douluo; after a lifetime of hard work, she was ultimately defeated by someone snatching the top merit.]
[Liu Erlong: I finally understand now. Ling Yuan, you bastard, you have so many schemes. You set me up back then, and you set up that Old Woman too.]
[Hu Liena: When did Aunt Ling Yuan set my teacher up?]
[Bo Saixi: Bibi Dong originally thought that, aside from me reaching godhood as a guarantee, she would be the fastest in the Group Chat to become a god. She didn't expect that after a trip to Slaughter City, she would be quietly surpassed by her subordinate, Ling Yuan.]
[Zhu Zhuyun: This is the charm of the Top Merit Douluo—no flashy tricks, no showing off, just fiercely improving herself!]
[Ning Rongrong: Aunt Ling Yuan is truly clear-headed. In a Douluo Continent full of love brains, she's the only one who doesn't talk about any bullshit romance and just silently works on her career alone.]
[Ling Yuan: *Sigh*!]
[Ling Yuan: I regret it. What's the use of working hard for a lifetime? The final ending is still a tragic death. Looking back, it was all bitter days. A person should still live happily!]
[Tang Yuehua: I think you're right. How about the two of us swap?]
[Huo Wu: You want to use the status of an ordinary group member and Soul Master to exchange for Aunt Ling Yuan's Administrator status and God-level strength?]
[Ice Empress: Snow Empress, do you understand?]
[Snow Empress:???]
[Number Nine: Ice Empress, I have an idea for you. First, let Snow Empress give herself to Leon for free, and then you give yourself to Leon for free. That way, the two of you can be together forever.]
[Shui Yue'er: Fighting side by side!]
[Ning Rongrong: How do you know it's "side-by-side" fighting? When did you peek?]
[Dark Avenger: Hahaha!!]
[Dark Avenger: I don't know why, but whenever I see Number Nine and the others talk, I feel like laughing.]
[Leon: To conclude, Aunt Ling Yuan's ability to reach her current status and strength is enough proof of how hard she worked.]
[Leon: In fact, as I said just now, being an honest and hardworking beast of burden is actually useless. You need to know how to be slippery and play to people's preferences; that's how you rise faster and live better!]
[Leon: Of course, Aunt Ling Yuan wasn't a Titled Douluo by birth, and she didn't have any Family power supporting her. She could only rely on herself. Aunt Ling Yuan's story is still inspiring!]
[Number Nine: I'm feeling a bit emotional. Life! When you think Aunt Ling Yuan worked hard enough, you might as well think about Qian Renxue.]
[Qian Renxue:???]
[Zhang Lexuan: Why should we think about Qian Renxue?]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Aunt Ling Yuan spent her entire life's effort just to enter Spirit Hall and become an Elder, while Qian Renxue owned the entire Spirit Hall from the moment she was born.]
[Zhu Zhuyun: To say something heart-wrenching, Aunt Ling Yuan's life of hard work was just to go and be a beast of burden for Qian Renxue.]
[Everyone:???]
The entire Group Chat fell silent Instantly.
Everyone was made a bit depressed by the words of the Zhu sisters.
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: This is terrifying!]
[Bai Chenxiang: Such a hardworking Titled Douluo used all her life's effort to break through to Titled Douluo and enter Spirit Hall to become an Elder, only to end up rushing to be a beast of burden for Qian Renxue!]
[Ling Luochen: There's something even more infuriating!]
[Ning Rongrong: And Qian Renxue didn't even want it... She ran off to Heaven Dou City by herself to be an undercover agent. Isn't that infuriating?]
[Ye Guyi: So infuriating!]
[Liu Erlong: I want to hit her through the screen!]
[Qian Renxue:???]
[Red Dream Dust: And the worst part is you can't even beat her. Thinking about it is even more heart-wrenching.]
[Qian Renxue: I...]
[Number Nine: Don't say it yet. I know what you want to say: "I only wish I were born into an ordinary Family."]
[Jiang Nannan: I feel suffocated all of a sudden. If even Titled Douluos are like this, let alone us commoners, it's so hopeless!]
[Xiao Wu: Wait a minute, this doesn't seem right. When Leon and I were in Nuoding City, regarding those nobles who were born rich, Leon said, "Why should the efforts of three generations of their Family lose to your ten years of hard study?"]
[Ning Rongrong: That seems to make sense?]
[Bo Saixi: I don't understand. We don't have these things on Sea God Island.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: It should be.]
[Red Dream Dust: I also think Xiao Wu is right.]
[Leon: Silly Rabbit, I was teasing you. Why would it take three generations? One generation hitting a stroke of luck is enough to feed three generations.]
[Leon: Oh, wait! In a noble-slave society like Douluo Continent, it can feed many, many generations. Doesn't thinking about that make you even angrier?]
[Everyone:???]
[Milk Tea: Let's all have a cup of milk tea to calm down!]
[Milk Tea's Red Envelope...]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Ah~ So good! This is the taste. Little Princess, why don't you open a milk tea shop here too?]
[Xiao Wu: Open the shop by the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, right?]
However.
The others in the Group Chat felt even angrier as they drank their milk tea and thought about it.
Of course.
Most of them belonged to the nobility; it was just that from Ling Yuan's perspective, it was infuriating. They couldn't imagine the true despair of commoners.
Shrek Academy.
Leon and his group, each with a cup of milk tea, arrived at the spectator stands of the Freshman Competition.
With Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan leading the way, the surrounding academy Disciples quickly gave up the best viewing spots for them.
[Leon: So, Student Hu Liena, what is Spirit Hall going to do after unifying the continent? Is it just going to be the same as before?]
[Leon: If it's still the same as before, then why go to war and make sacrifices? What's the difference between having a Spirit Empire rule and the previous two great Empires?]
[Hu Liena:???]
[Leon: So, Student Ye Guyi, who is the continent's greatest enemy? Is it those Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult?]
[Leon: Just imagine, even if I were to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult right now, would the commoners live better lives? Would there be no more Evil Soul Masters in the future?]
[Ye Guyi:???]
[Leon: When Sister Pope was trying to persuade me back then, I said it was hard! She thought I was just content with pleasure, but it really is very, very difficult—as difficult as forming a Golden Core, as difficult as climbing to the blue sky!]
Leon drank the Mei Gongzi's milk tea, but it tasted like Dukang wine.
How to relieve sorrow? Only with Dukang wine.
