As the thirteenth livestream approached, all the noble families and spirit master factions in the human world began their preparations. Meanwhile, the fierce beasts in the Star Dou Forest were also on high alert, arranging the numerous books they had collected from humans over the years neatly before them.
Unfortunately, among these fierce beasts, only Di Tian and Bi Ji understood human writing. The others were completely illiterate. Despite having obtained many books from fallen spirit masters, their utility was shockingly low.
On this day, to prepare for the livestream, Gu Yue Na did not continue extracting Lin Yu's bloodline power. Lin Yu chose not to stay in Gu Yue Na's small space. Instead, he sat quietly by the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest, awaiting the start of the livestream.
Not far from Lin Yu were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
Finally, as the clock struck ten, an invisible force swept across the entire Douluo Continent. Everyone and all ten-thousand-year soul beasts were momentarily blinded.
When their vision cleared, they found themselves once again in the dark and profound illusory space, resembling a starry cosmos.
At the same time, an illusory screen appeared before everyone, and information began to flash rapidly across it.
However, this time was different.
Instead of the usual appearances of Dai Tianfeng, Ning Fengzhi, and the Snowy Night Emperor on the illusory screen, it was now populated by a series of common people, repeatedly voicing the same complaint according to a fixed template.
[Wang Er Gou: I, Wang Er Gou, believe there is a problem with the live stream's reward mechanism. Rewards should not be given only to the first person to answer correctly; at least three people should be rewarded! This is my complaint!]
[Lin Shan: I, Lin Shan, think there is an issue with the livestream's reward system. It shouldn't only reward the first person to answer correctly; at least three people should be rewarded! This is my complaint!]
[Zhang Tie Gun: I, Zhang Tie Gun, believe there's a problem with the livestream's reward system. Rewards should not be given solely to the first correct answer; at least three should be rewarded! This is my complaint!]
…
The illusory screen was quickly overwhelmed with these template complaints.
Lin Yu wasn't surprised. During the last livestream, everyone had learned from Ning Fengzhi's inquiries that if more than half of the people complained about a certain issue, it would be reviewed. If found unfair, an optimization plan would be formed to address it, often leading to upgrades that corrected the problem.
While the majority of spirit masters and nobles had supported Ning Fengzhi's proposal, the vast majority of Douluo Continent's population consisted of commoners. In the previous month, these noble families and spirit master factions had likely done their best to influence the surrounding commoners to voice their complaints during this livestream.
As the illusory screen continued to display the complaints, it eventually shifted, and the illusory space transformed into a bustling city, full of people and traffic.
The camera panned to reveal a grand dome-like building in the busy streets.
Everyone recognized it immediately: the Spirit Hall! More precisely, it was a branch of the Spirit Hall within the city.
The livestream continued, moving inside the Spirit Hall branch, where martial soul awakenings were taking place.
In front of several Spirit Hall deacons, long lines of boys and girls stood waiting. Under the guidance of the deacons, these boys and girls underwent martial soul awakenings, revealing a variety of martial souls.
Among them were tool martial souls—everything from the useless Blue Silver Grass, wooden sticks, sickles, and hoes to more useful ones like iron rods, daggers, iron swords, and hammers.
Of course, there were also beast martial souls. Unlike tool martial souls, the chances of awakening a beast martial soul with spirit power were much higher. Those who awakened martial souls like chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits sometimes had spirit power, while others did not. However, fierce beasts with martial souls, such as wolves, tigers, and leopards, almost always possessed spirit power, enabling them to become spirit masters.
In contrast, soul beast-type beast martial souls, like the Mando Snake, the Human Face Demon Spider, and the Wind Baboon, not only had spirit power but usually possessed spirit power levels exceeding rank three, making them even more formidable.
The martial soul awakenings at the Spirit Hall branch concluded quickly, but the livestream continued.
The camera then shifted to a spirit master academy where martial soul awakenings were also in progress. Here, many more soul beast-type beast martial souls appeared among the awakened, as many participants were children of the academy's teachers.
After the martial soul awakenings at the academy, the live stream moved to another location—a magnificent estate. Inside the estate, a splendidly dressed middle-aged man was preparing to guide a group of boys and girls through their martial soul awakenings.
When the middle-aged man summoned his martial soul, members of the Evil Eye White Tiger family, including Dai Tianfeng and Davis, were shocked to see that his martial soul was the Evil Eye White Tiger.
Under the middle-aged man's guidance, the group of boys and girls began their martial soul awakenings. Most awakened the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, while a few did not. One child's martial soul underwent a mutation, merging with the Evil Eye, but did not display the Evil Eye's characteristics and had only rank one innate spirit power. This was a severe and undesirable mutation.
The livestream continued with several more martial soul awakenings from different locations.
Finally, the screen froze, and a line of crimson text appeared before everyone, accompanied by a cold voice:
[The event has ended. The Q&A session begins now!]
[Question: How many types of martial souls are there?]
[Reward for this Q&A: Human side: Random martial soul x1 / Soul beast side: Random ability x1!]
