Chapter 227 Chapter 272-273 The Influence of the Soul Master Guild
On the way back to Notting College, Tang San and his three companions were very happy.
Even the puzzled Tang Weiwei, after seeing Tang San's strange entanglement skill, was briefly puzzled.
It was replaced by the joy of becoming a soul master.
I subconsciously felt that it was destiny for the three giegies to acquire the entanglement skill.
In the carriage, Yu Xiaogang explained to the two of them in detail their respective soul skills and martial soul development paths, and then reminded them: "Since you have obtained the soul ring, when you two arrive in Notting City, remember to go to the Martial Soul Hall and the Soul Master Guild."
"Why go to the Spirit Hall? Haven't we already awakened our spirits? And the Spirit Master Guild, isn't that where we receive missions?"
Tang San asked doubtfully.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with what he thought was wisdom. "It's not about awakening martial spirits, but about getting identified as a spirit master. One is to test your spirit power, and the other is to receive a spirit master subsidy. This way, you don't have to continue working as part-time students, and you can spend more time practicing."
"As for the Soul Master Guild, you can just go there and register as a mercenary. The Soul Master Guild will recommend you some suitable tasks based on your martial spirits and cultivation. This will help hone your skills. Secondly, you can also earn a good commission. The most important thing is that when you become a mercenary of the Soul Master Guild, you can remain free and be protected by the Soul Master Guild from illegal infringement. In other words, as long as you don't commit a crime, even the princes and nobles will not dare to touch you."
Hearing that there are so many benefits to registering spirit masters and mercenaries with the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild, Tang San showed a faint smile on his face, "It seems that the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild are not as bad as imagined."
"Humph, it's all just buying people's hearts. The subsidies issued by the Spirit Hall are all funded by the two empires. As for the Soul Master Guild, it's just a means for that hypocritical president to enslave the soul masters of the world."
Hearing Tang San talking about the advantages of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild, Yu Xiaogang instinctively frowned and snorted coldly.
You know, over the years, he has been badly harmed by the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild.
Needless to say, the Spirit Hall framed him for stealing the Spirit Hall's secrets, causing him to be mistakenly considered a traitor by the family and even expelled from the family. In the end, not only did he suffer eight years of imprisonment, but he also cut off his descendants. It was simply too much to describe.
Even though Qian Xunji was beaten to death by his idol Haotian Douluo, this still could not offset the guilt of the Spirit Hall.
The Soul Master Guild is even more abominable.
Not only did they destroy his Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, they even specifically named him as a negative example in the Soul Master Training Manual.
As a result, he didn't dare to reveal his real name for more than ten years.
But the world is still deceived by the Soul Master Guild, and they all think that the damn president is the savior, and they are bought off with a little favor.
Absolutely stupid.
After hearing this, Tang Weiwei was no longer surprised. After all, Yu Xiaogang had been instilling in her the evil theories of the Spirit Hall and the Soul Master Guild over the years.
Tang Weiwei was too lazy to care about this.
She just needs to concentrate on being the group's favorite and follow the footsteps of the three giegies.
But Tang San frowned, "Then the royal families of the two empires won't care?"
Because his uncle Tang Hao had not allowed him to have any contact with the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild since he was a child, he had always been resistant to the two major forces. At this moment, the only good impression he had left towards the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild was instantly wiped out.
According to his thinking, the Spirit Hall was overstepping its authority and committing rebellion by using this method.
The Soul Master Guild is even more abominable.
The rules of the Soul Master Guild are actually placed above the laws of the empire. Isn't this equivalent to a country within a country, and in disguised form of undermining the two empires?
"How can we manage it? The current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is just a puppet supported by the Soul Master Guild. Although the Xing Luo Empire is not like that, they are afraid that the Soul Master Guild will join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to start a war, so they choose to let it go. They are no different from puppets."
With a sneer, Yu Xiaogang speculated with the maximum conspiracy theory.
You know what, he actually guessed it right.
But the coachman who had been driving for them couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled the reins suddenly and the carriage braked suddenly. Yu Xiaogang, Tang San and Tang Weiwei, the master and apprentice, were dizzy because they didn't react quickly enough.
"Driver, what's going on? Did something happen ahead?"
Yu Xiaogang felt annoyed, but in order to maintain his image as a master in front of his disciples, he suppressed his anger, lifted the door curtain and asked.
"Get down from here. I don't want to do business with you anymore."
The driver was a middle-aged man who looked honest and simple. But at this moment, the anger on his face could no longer be concealed.
Yu Xiaoan thought she had heard it wrongly, "Are you crazy?"
"I don't want to say it again. You and that ugly guy inside, get off the horse."
The driver refused to give in.
Tang San, who was sitting in the carriage, sneered, "How come you took the money and kicked us off before we even got halfway? Do you think there is such a cheap thing in the world? What can you do if we don't get off?"
While speaking, the silent arrows in Tang San's sleeves were already ready to be fired. The driver in front of him was actually cheating and deceiving, he was simply seeking death.
"Not bad, I'll return all your money. Get off the bus. If you don't want to get off, then just stay here. I have plenty of time anyway."
The driver said this without thinking twice and took out his purse and threw it to them as if it were garbage.
"You are looking for death." The driver in front of him was just an ordinary person. Tang San was confident that he could kill him with the silent sleeve arrow without his teacher and Weiwei knowing.
In this way, without evidence, no one can trace him.
What's more, even if there is evidence, he is already far away from the Soul Hunting Forest Simulation City. He can simply erase the evidence after killing the other party, and he doesn't have to worry about the teacher and Weiwei betraying him afterwards.
"Why, you want to take action? I hope you think it through before you do anything." The coachman said, pointing to the side of the carriage, where there was an ice-blue flag with a huge snowflake on it. On the side of the snowflake, you could vaguely see four egg-sized regular script characters of the Soul Master Guild and a line of numbers.
This is the unique symbol of the Soul Master Guild.
Yu Xiaogang naturally knew this, and hurried to stop Tang San, "Xiao San, don't be impulsive. This coachman is also a mercenary of the Soul Master Guild and is protected by the Soul Master Guild. Once something happens to him, the people of the Soul Master Guild can easily find the murderer through the last point where the carriage appeared. In the past, almost none of those who attacked the Soul Master Guild mercenaries escaped pursuit." After these words came out, Tang San became even angrier.
No wonder the teacher and father... Oh no, the teacher and uncle hate the Soul Master Guild so much that even a mere coachman can rely on the power of the Soul Master Guild to bully others. It is simply outrageous.
At this moment, Tang Weiwei, who had been sitting in the carriage, spoke up. Having lived in the 21st century in her previous life, she habitually raised her "legal weapon" and said, "Even if you want to drive us away, you have to tell us which law we have violated. It seems that according to traffic regulations, driving people off the carriage without reason is an illegal act."
"Who said I was going to kick you off the bus? I was kicking those two out. Look at them. They eat my food but don't do anything else. They eat when they pick up the bowl and curse when they put it down. They are such ungrateful bastards. I won't do business with them."
The driver retorted.
"You'd better make your point clear today."
At this time, Tang San's anger had accumulated to the extreme. If the other party did not explain clearly, he would make the other party bleed within five steps, even at the risk of being tracked down by the Spirit Master Guild.
Tang Weiwei echoed, "Yes, how can you slander others for no reason?"
"Okay, I'll explain it to you today." The driver first looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Just now I heard them calling you teacher, but look at what you teach. I won't talk about those weird and wrong theories."
"Even an ordinary person like me who has only received a few years of compulsory education and is not a spirit master knows that when an animal spirit absorbs a plant spirit ring, it will produce spirit ring rejection. You actually let a child with a Gale Wolf spirit absorb a plant spirit ring that is nearly 500 years old."
"Boy, if I'm not mistaken, you almost exploded and died when you absorbed this spirit ring. You are lucky." This sentence was said to Tang San.
It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Tang San was stunned, because what the other party said was right, he almost exploded and died.
"And the power of your spirit skills isn't that great. Maybe you don't feel it now, but when you grow into a higher-level spirit master, you will know how much it limits you."
But the driver's next words made Tang San sneer. It was simply ridiculous for a person who didn't even have spirit power to dare to make judgments.
Are all the mercenaries in the Soul Master Guild so arrogant?
No, rather than being arrogant, it’s more like a mixed bag.
In contrast, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened. Having read the Soul Master Training Manual and even been studying it, he naturally knew about soul ring rejection.
It was just because it contradicted his theory of martial soul mimicry that he had subconsciously ignored it. Now that the other party brought it up, he felt as if his theory was being questioned.
It made him very uncomfortable.
If the other party was not a mercenary from the Soul Master Guild, and he had finally received two extremely talented disciples, he would have unleashed Luo San Pao and killed the other party with one fart.
The driver ignored Tang San and continued to say to Yu Xiaogang: "I don't care how you mislead the disciples. It's your business. But you just slandered the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild, which is very infuriating."
"You just said that the Spirit Hall's subsidies for spirit masters are paid by the two empires. Then let me ask you, where does the empire's money come from? It comes from ordinary people like us. It is collected from ordinary people like us. As the saying goes, take from the people and use it for the people. If there is no Spirit Hall, will the empire still provide subsidies for spirit masters? Will anyone awaken spirits for ordinary people? Can you still accept this ugly boy as your disciple?"
"This" driver's question made Yu Xiaogang feel troubled, because he had never thought about these things.
His impression of the Spirit Hall was limited to the fact that the Spirit Hall wronged him, made him suffer eight years in prison, and castrated him.
It makes him unable to be a man.
The driver gave an affirmative answer, "The answer is no. Even an ordinary person like me who cannot receive soul master subsidies understands this simple truth, but you know nothing about it. Do you not know, or are you deliberately distorting the facts? I'm afraid you are from an aristocratic family. Because the Spirit Hall issues soul master subsidies, it allows ordinary people to rise up, which infringes on the interests of you noble masters."
"This is not a reason for the Spirit Hall to interfere in other people's affairs." Seeing Yu Xiaoang being humiliated, Tang San, who was Yu Xiaoang's disciple, retorted on Yu Xiaoang's behalf.
Tang Weiwei was naturally on the same front as San Giegie, "Yes, the Spirit Hall clearly has evil ambitions, intending to overthrow the two empires and unify the continent."
The driver looked at the two with disdain and snorted, "If that's the case, then you can just hate the Spirit Hall. Because the Spirit Hall has affected the interests of the nobles, you are inclined to the nobles and are willing to be their dogs, which is understandable. By the way, don't take the spirit master subsidy. Otherwise, you will enjoy the preferential policies of the Spirit Hall while picking up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to curse. Don't you think it's shameless?"
"You" Tang Weiwei was speechless, while Tang San became angry and embarrassed.
The driver looked at Yu Xiaogang again, "Also, you just said that the Soul Master Guild issued tasks to mercenaries in order to enslave all the soul masters in the world? Well, let me ask you, did the Soul Master Guild force anyone to register as a mercenary? And did it force anyone to complete the task? On the contrary, not only did the soul masters show their value and gain respect, but they also received generous rewards. Even ordinary people like us benefited a lot. Every poor family that was willing to work hard had their lives improved and no longer had to suffer bullying."
"And a treacherous villain like you, who enjoys the benefits brought by the Soul Master Guild while slandering it, I have never seen someone as shameless as you."
After he finished speaking, the driver's mouth was already spitting out saliva.
"You...you are unreasonable."
The driver's simple words almost drove Yu Xiaogang crazy.
Out of breath.
After uttering these words, his entire face flushed red. He simply glanced away and jumped off the carriage. Without even calling Tang San and Tang Weiwei, he ran away without even looking back.
It was just like when a person escaped from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan alone.
Tang San and Tang Weiwei looked at each other. God knows how much Tang San wanted to shoot the arrow in his sleeve.
But considering that the other party has the protection of the Soul Master Guild, if it is really as Yu Xiaogang said, we will track it down to the end.
That's definitely not worth it.
After careful consideration, Tang San finally chose to give up killing the opponent.
But he completely hated the Soul Master Guild.
Before leaving, he also took away the purse that the driver dropped on the ground. There must be more than just their fares in it, but also the driver's own earnings, which he considered as interest from the other party.
