Crossing Douluo: Three Gods in One

Chapter 136 What is Human Nature

Anyway, Zhang Tong feels that the relationship between humans and soul beasts should be peaceful. It is undeniable that humans will hunt beasts for food and clothing issues.

But those are beasts without any intelligence, not even soul beasts. They can only be called wild beasts. Those wild beasts only live for a few decades or even a few years!
But some animals have been practicing for thousands, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years. Do they have to sacrifice their lives just because humans want to practice?

If this is the case, then Zhang Tong would rather not practice. Having lost his loved ones, he knows that feeling.

Therefore, he will try his best to prevent these tragedies from happening more frequently.

Watching Zhang Tong and the mysterious soul that came out of his body communicating with the two water cloud demon snakes.

Shuiyueer mustered up her courage and ran over to her sister:

"Sister, are you okay?"

Looking at Shui Bing'er who was covered in wounds, Shui Yue'er asked.

"Yue'er, you're here, who is he?"

Shui Bing'er pointed at Zhang Tong and asked!
"Sister, I'm sorry. I fainted on the way and it was Dugu Qiubai who saved me!"

Shuiyueer said a little embarrassedly!

"Dugu Qiubai, he is the one who won the Soul Master Competition alone. The youngest elder of the Spirit Hall, the master of the Spirit Pagoda, Dugu Qiubai?"

That Soul Saint is still maintaining his spirit form! Hearing Dugu Qiubai's name, he suddenly asked excitedly!

"It turns out it was him..."

Shui Bing'er seemed to be in a trance as she murmured!
"Yes, it's me!"

Zhang Xin walked over and said to the Soul Saint:
"Collect the martial soul's true body!"

The Soul Saint didn't have much soul power to begin with. After hearing what Zhang Tong said, he also put away his martial soul and said:
"Thank you for saving us, Dugu... Elder!"

Zhang Tong ignored the Soul Saint and walked towards Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er saw Zhang Tong walking towards her and quickly lowered her head and said:

"Thank you……"

Zhang Tong asked directly:
"Who killed the 20,000-year-old soul beast?"

Shui Bing'er didn't expect Dugu Qiubai to ask this as his first question.

"I killed it. Yue'er's martial soul, the capybara, is suitable for pairing with this water cloud demon snake, so I killed the 20,000-year-old soul beast!"

The Soul Saint spoke! Then he said:
"I am the vice president of Tianshui College, and a level 76 Soul Saint."

Hearing this, Zhang Tong glanced at him and said calmly:
"Oh, Soul Saint, you seem to be very impressive, don't you? From what you said, this soul beast deserves to be killed by humans?"

The Vice Dean of the Water Academy that day, Hun Sheng, was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Dugu Qiubai asked him this, and then he said:
"Dugu... Elder, humans hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. This... has been the way since ancient times. This is the guidance of heaven..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tong roared:
"God damn it, old man, have you lived too long and your brain isn't that sharp? The intelligence of ten thousand year old spirit beasts is not inferior to that of humans. As a teacher in the academy, you should know this best!

If someone kills your son, will you be willing? Yes, humans have been hunting soul beasts since ancient times. Now someone has created a method to obtain soul rings without hunting soul beasts, but you are unwilling to use it and are still hunting soul beasts everywhere. What did the soul beasts do wrong? What did these two snakes do to provoke you before? Who are you to decide the life and death of these soul beasts? "

Faced with Zhang Tong's question after question, the Soul Saint was speechless and could not say a single word!
Shui Bing'er said:

"Dugu Qiubai, it's not that we don't want to use souls, but we have to join the Spirit Hall to obtain souls. We are already Viscounts of the Tiandou Empire..."

Zhang Tong asked back:

"Just because of a title, you can ignore the lives and deaths of other races? Do you still have royal laws? Do you still have laws?..."

For a moment, Shui Bing'er was speechless.

Seeing this, Zhang Tong sighed and asked:
"Who awakened your martial spirit?"

"Martial Soul Palace!"

Zhang Tong continued to ask:
"Who gave you the first subsidy after you awakened your martial spirit?"

"Martial Soul Palace!"

Zhang Tong sighed again and then said:

"The Spirit Hall provides free spiritual awakening for civilian children as young as six, provides subsidies to low-level spirit masters, and suppresses evil spirit masters across the continent. It is a civilian force that benefits all of humanity. The Angel Suppresses Evil Map is the belief of all spirit masters in the Spirit Hall.

What about the Tiandou Empire? The empire has a serious class system. Even if ordinary civilians awaken some excellent martial spirits, they are not qualified to go to school. Look at the Tiandou Royal Academy. Aren’t there many useless people? "

Zhang Tong paused and said:

"You don't want to join the Spirit Hall. This is your right. I can't force you to do anything. Putting aside the Spirit Hall, as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, every soul master's soul ring is a symbol of my Spirit Pagoda. When the Spirit Hall unifies the continent in the future, the soul system of my Spirit Pagoda will surely be popularized to all mankind!
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, you have reached a bottleneck and need spirit rings. I can make an exception and find suitable spirits for you, but as a price, I want you to never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall! You can choose not to help either side, but you cannot be an enemy of the Spirit Hall!
If you agree, I can immediately take you to obtain the soul fusion spirit ring. If you don't agree, given the relationship between the Tiandou Empire and the Wuhun Palace, a war is inevitable! I don't need to leave any chance for future enemies to survive!"

Zhang Tong finished speaking in one breath and glanced at the Red Mastiff. The Red Mastiff and the two Water Cloud Demon Snakes were still able to get along well. After all, they had a hundred thousand years of foundation.

However, the two snakes kept their eyes fixed on Shui Bing'er and the others.

Shui Bing'er looked at the terrifying appearance of the Water Cloud Demon Snake spitting out its tongue, and the person from the Royal Knights who was eaten and spit out before!
Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps because she was frightened to the point of peeing her pants, Shui Bing'er shivered involuntarily.

"If, if I am willing to join the Spirit Hall, will you let the Vice Dean and Yue'er go?"

Hearing her ask this, Zhang Tong knew that there was hope of recruiting Shui Bing'er, so Zhang Tong and Chi Ao played the good cop and the bad cop respectively.

While they were trying their best to persuade the Shuiyun Demon Snake, they were negotiating terms with Shui Bing'er and the others here.

"Shui Bing'er, you are still so kind. You use your own future to exchange for the chance of others' survival. Why can't you have such a heart towards the soul beasts? Their child was killed by the vice president of your Tianshui College. Do you think those two soul beasts will let him go?"

Zhang Tong asked Shui Bing'er with great interest!

Hearing this, the deputy dean looked at the two soul beasts, then looked at Zhang Tong, and immediately knelt down with a plop and begged for mercy:

"My lord, Elder Dugu, I will never hunt soul beasts again. I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and talk to the two soul beasts and let me live!"

"teacher……"

Shui Bing'er looked at the man kneeling in front of her begging for mercy and life. Was this still the vice president she knew? This was how these people acted when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Zhang Tong sighed helplessly and looked at the Water Cloud Demon Snake, still seeming to have some resentment:

"How about this, if you give up your cultivation, I will plead for you and let you live."
