Chapter 297 Zhu Zhuqing Settles the Karma
"This...how is this possible! 100,000-year spirit rings! They're all 100,000-year spirit rings!"
On the Soul Arena, the audience's eyes widened in disbelief as they watched the red halos gradually emerge around the members of the Spirit Pagoda team. Each halo radiated a dazzling light, the unique crimson glow of a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring, representing the pinnacle of a Soul Master's strength.
The atmosphere in the entire arena was instantly ignited, and the audience was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"Is there no law? Is there no justice? The Spirit Pagoda Academy has really gone too far." Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
The Spirit Pagoda actually equipped all its team members with 100,000-year spirit rings, which is unprecedented in history.
Looking at the three 100,000-year spirit rings on Zhu Zhuqing's body, Zhu Zhuyun felt utterly hopeless. She knew that she was no match for Zhu Zhuqing, neither in terms of the quality of the spirit rings nor in terms of spirit power level.
Although there were fourteen people on the field, everyone tacitly reserved the arena for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun. They knew that this battle belonged to these two female soul masters, and everyone else was just a supporting character.
The audience held their breath, watching every move on the field intently.
When Zhu Zhuqing's spirit appeared, it startled everyone again.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast appeared on the field, and with the cooperation of Zhu Zhuqing's soul spirit, the battle quickly ended. Zhu Zhuqing won with an overwhelming advantage, while Zhu Zhuyun ended the competition in disappointment. She knew that the gap between herself and Zhu Zhuqing could not be bridged by simple efforts.
"Zhu Qing, how did you become so strong?"
Zhu Zhuyun slumped onto the field, her face filled with dejection. Her eyes were filled with confusion, surprise, and an undisguised fear.
She couldn't believe that she had been defeated by her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuyun's mind was already filled with all the possible consequences of her defeat, and those consequences sent chills down her spine.
"I won..."
'
Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of Zhu Zhuyun, muttering to herself.
She herself was surprised that the victory came so easily.
Despite winning the competition, Zhu Zhuqing did not feel the joy she had expected. Her heart was filled with the relief of letting go of her obsession. She knew that from now on, the Xingluo Zhu family, the Xingluo Empire, and she, Zhu Zhuqing, would have no further connection. She had completely severed all ties with her family.
Zhu Zhuyun had expected Zhu Zhuqing to take the opportunity to humiliate her, but Zhu Zhuqing simply helped her up gently, then looked at her with a cold gaze and calmly said, "Go back and tell them that I, Zhu Zhuqing, am now a member of the Spirit Hall, and have no further connection with the Star Luo Empire or the Zhu family. I sever all ties with the Zhu family!"
"What...what did you say?!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Zhu Zhuyun's face showed an expression of disbelief. What had she just said? She wanted to leave the Xingluo Zhu family!
How could this be? Zhu Zhuqing clearly won, yet she wants to withdraw from the competition. To Zhu Zhuyun, this was simply incomprehensible.
"Why? I don't understand... You really aren't interested in the throne?" Zhu Zhuyun's voice trembled slightly; she couldn't accept this fact.
Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied, "I have already found my love and have my own friends."
""
Her eyes were filled with determination and satisfaction, as if she had found the most important thing in her life.
"The position of Empress of the Star Luo Empire is no different from roadside trash to me. I just pick it up casually and then throw it in the trash can anyway." Zhu Zhuqing's words revealed a kind of indifference and disdain for power.
After saying these words, Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Spirit Pagoda team and nestled tightly in Huo Yuhao's arms.
Huo Yuhao, the man who was more important to her than the throne.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Huo Yuhao's happy appearance, Zhu Zhuyun's gaze was very complicated.
Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions: relief, because she finally understood her sister's choice; joy, because she saw her sister had found her happiness; jealousy, because she also hoped that she could have that kind of happiness; and finally, all that remained in her heart was the most sincere blessing.
Perhaps she also loved her younger sister, but unfortunately, being in the Zhu family meant she had no choice in what she did! The rules of the Zhu family and the expectations of the clan weighed heavily on her shoulders like a mountain, preventing her from freely choosing her own life like Zhu Zhuqing.
Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun never met her own Huo Yuhao; she could only be her own Huo Yuhao.
She must be strong, independent, and shoulder the responsibilities and missions entrusted to her by her family.
She knew that her life path would be different from her sister's, and she had to find her place in the vortex of power, even if it meant giving up some of her personal happiness and desires.
"I declare the Spirit Pagoda Academy the victor!"
As the host's passionate and powerful voice echoed throughout the arena, the entire venue seemed to be enveloped in a tremendous joy.
In the audience, people stood up and burst into thunderous applause and cheers, as if they were about to lift the roof off.
The audience members present were unaware of the complex struggles within the Zhu family; all they knew was that they had witnessed a spectacular duel.
The host didn't let the enthusiasm cool down; he quickly adjusted the atmosphere and began to educate all the Soul Masters present about the Soul Spirit system.
"As everyone knows, the traditional way to obtain spirit rings is by hunting spirit beasts, but today, I'm going to tell you about a brand new concept—the spirit system!"
The host's voice was tinged with excitement as he began to explain in detail how the system worked and the changes it brought about.
"In this system, a soul beast can provide multiple soul rings, and this process does not require hunting soul beasts. It only requires establishing a connection with the soul beast through a special method," he continued, his voice filled with disbelief and admiration.
Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in excitement. They whispered amongst themselves, their eyes wide with shock and curiosity. They could hardly believe that such a wondrous thing existed in the world.
"A single spirit beast can provide multiple spirit rings without needing to hunt it down... How is this possible?!" someone exclaimed, their voice filled with doubt and astonishment.
"Moreover, it's incredible that soul beasts can actually assist in battle after transforming into soul spirits!" another audience member added excitedly, his voice filled with disbelief and excitement.
"Where can we get these spirits?" someone in the crowd asked, eager to know how to access this magical system.
Faced with a barrage of questions from the audience, the host appeared somewhat embarrassed. He wiped the sweat from his brow, took a deep breath, and spoke again: "Please be patient, everyone. After the Soul Master Competition concludes, there will be a special newspaper announcement regarding Soul Spirits. Now, please be quiet for a moment, and let's continue to enjoy the exciting Soul Master Competition!"
The host's voice rang out again, attempting to draw the audience's attention back to the competition. Nevertheless, a seed of curiosity and anticipation had been planted in the hearts of the viewers regarding the Soul Spirit system; they knew that this entirely new system would completely change their understanding of the Soul Master world.
