Chapter 356: Only Through Comparison Can Beauty Be Highlighted, Tang San Becomes the Continent's Public Enemy!
In the livestream room.
After the reasons behind the fall of the evil soul masters were shared, many people in the livestream felt a complex mix of emotions and for the first time realized the contribution of the Spirit Hall to Douluo Continent.
It was probably because the Spirit Hall had always maintained the order of Douluo Continent, making many people take it for granted.
Only now, after seeing the future development of Douluo Continent without the Spirit Hall, did everyone understand how much the Spirit Hall had contributed to the continent!
While everyone was processing these complex feelings, the livestream continued.
In the broadcast, after mentioning the Spirit Hall, Blood Baby prepared to lead the evil soul masters away.
Though Blood Baby claimed not to care about Shrek Academy, as a Soul Douluo, it didn't dare to confront Shrek Academy head-on.
Blood Baby had always practiced a strategy of moving quickly and not staying in one place for long.
After leading the group of evil soul masters out of the destroyed village, the illusory space suddenly darkened.
Then, a large red text appeared in front of everyone's eyes: One week later!
The camera then shifted, and once again, it was back at the destroyed village.
However, because the time had shifted to three days later, the village was almost completely destroyed. The collapsed houses were burned into blackened ruins.
The entire village had been reduced to rubble.
Finally, a group of people flew in from the distance.
These people were all men, with varying builds, but they all wore the same black uniforms with a badge on their chests. The badge depicted the head of a green monster with two antenna-like projections on top.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge immediately recognized the badge, identifying it as the symbol of a soul beast named Shrek.
Upon recognizing the creature represented by the badge, the identity of these people became clear.
These were likely the law enforcement team sent by Shrek Academy to check on the situation.
However, the problem was that Shrek Academy's law enforcement team arrived far too late!
The group led by Blood Baby had already been massacring the village for a week, and only now did Shrek Academy send their law enforcement team.
Had the Spirit Hall still been around, it would have taken less than a day for the nearest branch of the Spirit Hall to learn about the village massacre, and then quickly launch a manhunt for the evil soul masters, transmitting the information to the Spirit Hall's main headquarters.
Then the main hall would have immediately responded by sending powerful soul masters to track down the evil soul masters responsible for the massacre.
It must be said that no one had previously realized the magnitude of the Spirit Hall's contribution to Douluo Continent.
But after watching this livestream, everyone realized that even if a new power with a comparable position to the Spirit Hall appeared in the future, it would not be able to make the same level of contribution as the Spirit Hall had.
Many people couldn't help but feel grateful that the Spirit Hall hadn't been destroyed by someone like Tang San, who was both hypocritical and selfish.
However, most people never considered why Shrek Academy couldn't do what the Spirit Hall did.
But some, like Lin Yu, could understand.
As another top power on Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy, within the peerless Tang Sect, held a position not much inferior to that of the Spirit Hall during the Dou I era.
However, compared to the Spirit Hall, which could make both great empires fear, Shrek Academy could never develop to such a point.
The reason was simple. After the Spirit Hall era, the two great empires had deeply realized how dangerous it was to have an overpowered soul master force on Douluo Continent.
Therefore, after the destruction of the Spirit Hall, the two empires naturally worked together to prevent the emergence of a new "Spirit Hall."
Since the two great empires would not allow Shrek Academy to become a new Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy was unable to establish its own revenue streams or build branches across Douluo Continent.
Thus, Shrek Academy couldn't offer free martial soul awakenings for commoners like the Spirit Hall had.
Without being able to offer free martial soul awakenings, the two empires didn't need to provide soul master subsidies from the national treasury, as the Spirit Hall had done, to win over the hearts of commoners.
With the removal of soul master subsidies, the lives of common soul masters were undoubtedly greatly affected.
Moreover, without the Spirit Hall providing support for common soul masters and preventing soul masters from harming civilians, the nobility and soul master families would be free to oppress common soul masters and civilians, which eventually led to the rise of evil soul masters.
The rampant evil soul masters in Peerless Tang Sect was actually the result of multiple factors coming together.
But the most crucial one was undoubtedly the absence of the Spirit Hall and the lack of a new force to replace it in maintaining order on Douluo Continent.
And the livestream continued.
When the Shrek Academy law enforcement team arrived at the village, which had already been destroyed by Blood Baby and his group of evil soul masters, they found nothing.
Compared to the Spirit Hall, which recruited talents from across Douluo Continent and produced numerous powerful soul masters, the talent at Shrek Academy was clearly lacking.
Even though the law enforcement team from Shrek Academy arrived at the village, they still found nothing, and couldn't even track down Blood Baby and the other evil soul masters.
This made countless people in the livestream, including many commoners, feel incredibly frustrated.
Everyone acknowledged that Shrek Academy's law enforcement team had the right idea by trying to hunt down the evil soul masters, but they were utterly useless!
It was bad enough that they arrived so late, but they couldn't even track down the perpetrators. What was the point of them even showing up?
Seeing the chaotic future in the livestream and Shrek Academy's poor performance, despite its future potential to rival the Spirit Hall, countless soul masters, nobles, and commoners in the livestream began to recognize the Spirit Hall even more and grew even more resentful of Tang San.
Although they knew Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall because of his personal grudge with the Spirit Hall, people are inherently selfish.
If there had been no immediate negative consequences, everything would have been fine, but when people saw how Tang San's actions were hurting their own interests, many people began to resent him deeply, even those commoners who had previously felt disconnected from the matter now clenched their teeth in hatred toward Tang San.
After all, the village that was massacred in the livestream was made up of those same common people!
After watching the Blood Baby massacre the village, Tang San had clearly become the public enemy of the continent!
