Diary—Chapter 181: If I Were Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi Wouldn't Have Been Able to Jump Around for So Long!
[Given the unique nature of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Martial Soul, joining Spirit Hall would likely not result in any sanctions. They would only need to provide support from the rear during battles, and Spirit Hall's Soul Master group would be able to protect them very well.]
[And if Ning Fengzhi had been able to see the big picture earlier and make the most correct decision, then Ning Rongrong would not have ended up with Oscar later, and there would have been no so-called Martial Soul Fusion Skill.]
[Finally, Ning Rongrong and Oscar's ninth soul ring was both 100,000 years old, but they only had one Soul Skill, while the other Soul Skill was forcefully turned into the Resurrection Divine Light, which required the two of them to combine to use.]
[I don't believe there was no God's handiwork behind this. A tower and a sausage—could they have the compatibility to unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Resurrection Divine Light? Although it occupied a Soul Skill slot as a patch, it looked absurd no matter how you looked at it.]
[However, if Ning Fengzhi had decided to side with Spirit Hall, then Ning Rongrong would most likely not have had the chance to obtain the Immortal Herb, and consequently, she would not have been able to become a God. From this perspective, there were pros and cons, but who could have imagined that Ning Rongrong would eventually achieve a second-rank God Position?]
[Of course, since I am now a prince of the Star Luo Empire, it is naturally impossible for me to allow Spirit Hall to unify the continent. Wouldn't it be better for my Star Luo Empire to do it ourselves? After all, Spirit Hall's occupied area is not even one-third the size of my Star Luo Empire; it merely survives in the cracks on the edges of the Two Great Empires.]
Bibi Dong: …
Qian Renxue: …
Goodness, they knew Dai Yichen had such thoughts. Dai Yichen had a system, and they were all constrained by the system, unable to act against him. Could it be that the outcome would be Spirit Hall being swallowed by the Star Luo Empire instead?
Neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Renxue could accept this!
[Hmm, Spirit Hall's current territory seems a bit like the Sun Never Sets Empire in my previous life! Although Spirit Hall's territory is only a small piece, their branch halls are spread all over the continent. Even imperial main cities like Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City have branch halls, and Spirit Hall's power has continuously expanded because of these branch halls.]
[Otherwise, with Spirit Hall's occupied area, they would not be able to attract so many powerful Soul Masters. Apart from the main combat forces, the rest are distributed throughout the continent!]
All the girls: Sun Never Sets Empire?
It does seem to make sense!
However, Spirit Hall's power is only within the Douluo Continent; there are no "colonies" on other continents. So, for now, the Sun Never Sets Empire is still a bit of an exaggeration.
And when Dai Yichen thought of this, he also had an idea: he wanted to gradually dismantle Spirit Hall's influence in the various parts of the Empire.
The main reason Spirit Hall's branch halls could open in various towns throughout the Empire was that they were willing to provide free Martial Soul awakening services to common Soul Masters near those towns and issue Soul Master subsidies.
And this required a large sum of money. The imperial family initially only saw the short-term benefits to themselves, so they agreed.
But by the time they realized something was wrong, Spirit Hall's branch halls had already opened everywhere in the Empire, even in the main cities. And the bishop of the main city branch hall was a Soul Douluo powerhouse, who also possessed strong dominance. There were even Spirit Hall armies in the main city!
This was the most absurd part. How dare a mere Spirit Hall establish private armies in their empire, and even openly patrol!
This was, in fact, a provocation to the imperial family's prestige!
Didn't Dai Yutian and Emperor Xue Ye notice?
No, they noticed, but they were helpless.
Because once they acted, it would trigger a chain reaction, leading to many consequences they did not want to see!
However, would he, with his memories of his previous life, be afraid?
Not at all!
Because if he didn't make drastic changes soon, Spirit Hall would become fully established in a few years, as the establishment of branch halls was still ongoing!
If the Star Luo Empire were likened to a living organism, then the Spirit Hall Branch would be a parasite living within this organism.
Using the Empire's resources and recruiting the Empire's talents, this was undoubtedly a disguised form of bloodsucking!
Although without Spirit Hall, the imperial family would not have allocated funds—this is a fact!
But since he was now part of the imperial family, he naturally had to consider things from their perspective.
The first step: passive allocation of funds becoming active allocation!
He did not want to see talented common Soul Masters continue to flow into Spirit Hall's hands.
Passive allocation and active allocation— the amount of funds allocated would not change much. If active allocation removed Spirit Hall's expenses, then they would at most double it. This amount of money was nothing for the Empire to worry about. At worst, they could seize a few profligate nobles!
Oh no, that's not according to the rules. It should be... confiscation!
Gradually, Dai Yichen, who was taking a bath, slowly curled his lips, and the plan in his mind was gradually taking shape.
[After all, Ning Fengzhi was just too erratic. Other sects could still have a chance to start over if a Titled Douluo died, but if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lost a Titled Douluo, it would be over!]
[On the surface, Ning Fengzhi maintained a smooth attitude, wanting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to survive stably on this continent, but in reality, he had a heart that wanted to check and balance, constantly talking about the Upper Three Sects needing to unite.]
[But if something happened, wouldn't he be the first to run? The reason would be that he was a supporter, with no combat ability whatsoever, calculating everything. This was also a point that many people disliked about him.]
[After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was able to become one of the Upper Three Sects not by relying on Ning Fengzhi, but on Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo—two outsiders.]
[Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ranked last among the Upper Three Sects and only had Yu Yuanzhen as a Titled Douluo, their actions were generally very low-key. Except for Yu Xiaogang, their clan also quietly cultivated talents, with the main branch and sub-branches competing, and they hardly interfered in the Empire's affairs.]
[Ning Fengzhi, who had no strength and no courage—oh no, he did have a little courage, but he dreamed of becoming the number one sect, being so high-profile all day long. I don't know what he was thinking.]
[If I were Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff, seeing such a person constantly making noise under my nose, I would show him some color—for example, finding a way to kill Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. This way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would instantly fall from grace. A sect without a Titled Douluo is not worthy of being one of the Upper Three Sects!]
Ning Rongrong: …
Holy cow!
Don't do it, don't do it!
Ning Rongrong was startled by Dai Yichen's idea.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong with strange expressions, saying nothing.
[However, because Bibi Dong's ascension was illegitimate, the only Titled Douluo she could command was Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and her available manpower was severely insufficient. Otherwise, how could Ning Fengzhi have been so erratic for so long?]
