In the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life, four 100,000-year-old soul beasts gathered together.
From left to right: Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, and Blue Silver Emperor.
"Aunt Rou, how did the first wave of attacks go?"
Azure Bull Python asked.
"Aww! (Yes, how is it now?)"
Titan Giant Ape also asked, though his tone was somewhat impatient.
"Ah Yin, then I'll trouble you!" Soft Bone Charming Rabbit said to Blue Silver Emperor.
Ah Yin nodded, raised her hand, and began communicating with her people.
A large amount of information flashed through her mind, and she quickly obtained the information she wanted.
She withdrew her right hand and slowly said, "The first wave of beast tides has been blocked by humans, and humans are now entering a buffer state."
"What? Humans blocked our first wave of attacks so quickly?!"
Azure Bull Python was somewhat surprised; had humans changed so much?!
"Then launch a second attack and let these despicable humans feel our wrath!"
Although it was acting under orders and knew it was for the ecological balance of the Star Dou Great Forest,
the thought of the humans' disgusting faces still filled it with rage!
Arou said softly, "Daming, no matter what happens, you need to stay calm!"
Titan Giant Ape: "Awooo! (Humans are despicable, we can't let them get away with this!)"
"Erming, I understand your feelings. Go and convey the mission of the attack!"
Arou looked at the Titan Giant Ape and let it leave.
"Sister Arou, why can't humans and soul beasts live in harmony?"
Ayin was puzzled, and this was a question she had been pondering for a long time.
As the Blue Silver Emperor, she possessed top-tier intelligence among soul beasts.
"As long as humans have the need to acquire soul rings, soul beasts and humans cannot truly achieve harmony!"
"In my lifetime, I may not see it!"
Arou understood very well that achieving this was extremely difficult!
Even the adults in the core circle couldn't accomplish this.
"These things aren't our concern. Let's focus on our mission!"
Arou smiled and looked towards the direction of the human city.
Not far from the four 100,000-year-old soul beasts, a Soft-Boned Rabbit was hopping and skipping about, amusing itself.
...
The second wave of soul beast attacks had arrived. Besides adding three powerful crossbows, the Spirit Hall also had Great Soul Masters armed with compound bows, ready for battle.
"I almost forgot, imbuing arrows with soul power significantly increases their power!"
"These Great Soul Masters...it seems my older brother was well-prepared!"
Looking at the aura of the thousand-year-old soul beasts in the distance, he shook his head slightly.
These guys are practically just cannon fodder!
"Fire—!"
At the command, a fierce whirring sound echoed from the city wall.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The thick, armor-piercing arrows, like arrows from hell, mercilessly reaped the lives of these soul beasts! Sizzle!
Sizzle! Sizzle!
A thousand-year-old Gale Wolf, its thigh pierced by an arrow, momentarily halted in motion, before being riddled with another arrow!
Similar scenes were playing out repeatedly, leaving many spirit beasts without even the chance to howl!
Those spirit beasts with exceptional defensive talents managed to withstand the attacks with difficulty.
However, this was the moment for the Grand Spirit Master archers to strike!

They nocked their arrows and drew their bows, imbuing the arrows with their soul power.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew out, pinning the 1200-year-old armored crocodile to the ground.
Then three more arrows struck, killing it!
With such close coordination, the soul beasts' attack was firmly halted before a defensive line!
No matter how hard they tried, this defensive line was like an insurmountable chasm!
"This is the significance of my research; at least in my field of vision, I haven't seen any casualties!"
Qian Yucheng was relatively satisfied with the current outcome of the battle.
Actually, this was only the situation in Wuhun City
…
The battle situation between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire was only slightly better than usual!
Those greedy nobles had replaced all the purchased arrows with fine iron arrowheads with the most ordinary bronze arrowheads!
This directly reduced the weapon's power by a level!
Seeing the soul beasts getting closer and closer to the city, the soldiers had no choice but to go out and meet them in battle!
After two rounds of attacks, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties!
And those noble generals, seeing the much better results than before, hurriedly reported the good news to their superiors!
How filthy and greedy!
These nobles all tacitly agreed that as long as the outcome was an improvement, the royal family wouldn't blame them!
In fact, the emperors of the two empires showed satisfaction after seeing the battle reports.
The soldiers' combat effectiveness had significantly improved, making it much easier to resist the beast tide.
This was excellent for maintaining the royal family's prestige!
As for those petty tricks, let them be as they please as long as they don't go too far!
Hypocritical benevolence and justice were on full display at this moment!
Those who truly stood up and spoke out had long been silenced!
This vicious cycle continued, and gradually, no one dared to stand up anymore.
For these people, the experience was: I once shouted, but gradually I fell silent...
At this moment, Qian Xunji, besides paying attention to the battle reports from Wuhun City, was also paying attention to the two empires' battles against the beast tide.
Looking at the news, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"Heh, these two empires, truly rotten to the core!"
"Do you really think your empires are supported by those nobles?!"
"Without those people, your so-called prosperity is nothing but bullshit!"
"At this crucial moment, you're still thinking of profiting from military spending!"
"With a bunch of vampires around you, your rule is doomed sooner or later!"
"Let you catch your breath for a while. The master of this continent will eventually belong to the Spirit Hall!"
A fanatical glint flashed across Qian Xunji's face, as if he could see a magnificent future!
The entire continent would be adorned with his Pope's statue, and the world would admire his magnificent figure!
What angels and gods?
Only the great Pope Qian Xunji, who saves people from suffering!
Gods cannot see their pain, but he can!
Gods haven't changed their lives, but he can!
The Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and the two empires are all his for the taking!
Having been Pope for so many years, he knows all too well the filth within!
There's no way around it; this is how the world is!
To stand at the top, you must learn this kind of filth!
This world is inherently a dirty game, and everyone is a dirty player!
If he wanted to dominate the scene, he had to resort to even dirtier methods and wipe out all his rivals!
Before becoming a Title Douluo, he could suppress himself.
But now that he was a Title Douluo, it was time to unleash his true nature!
He, Qian Xunji, was going to do something unprecedented and unparalleled!
That was to spread the glory of the Spirit Hall to every corner of the Douluo Continent!
