Crossing Douluo: Three Gods in One

Chapter 58 The Way of Heaven
Shui Bing'er was stunned. She didn't expect that Dugu Qiubai would ask her this! After a long while, she said:
"When our soul power reaches a certain level, we need to absorb soul rings to continue practicing. To absorb soul rings, we have to hunt soul beasts. This is inevitable! My soul rings were also obtained by hunting soul beasts. Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Tong looked at her and said:

"You are a kind girl. In your last move at Tianshui Academy, you didn't think about defeating me, but about letting me go away! You are really kind! I wonder if you also have such a kind heart towards soul beasts?"

After listening to Zhang Tong, Shui Bing'er was silent for a while. Although she didn't understand why Dugu Qiubai asked her this, she still told her past:
"When I first obtained the spirit ring, I looked at the severely injured spirit beast! In my hand was the sharp blade that could decide its life or death! I didn't want to kill it, but the teacher's urging words rang in my ears. I mustered up the courage and stabbed the spirit beast with all my strength!

I still remember the look in the soul beast's eyes before it died! It was begging me, begging me to let it go and give it a chance to live! But the teacher said that it is natural for humans to hunt soul beasts! Don't have any psychological burden! Humans obtain soul rings under the guidance of heaven! What we humans do! Is what heaven wants us to do!"

After listening to this, Zhang Tong sighed and asked:

"So you're saying that soul beasts deserve to be hunted? Soul beasts clearly didn't do anything, so are they being hunted just because human soul masters want to improve their cultivation?"

What is this? Shui Bing'er was stunned again. From the meaning of these words, it seemed as if this Dugu Qiubai was not a human being!
"I don't know if the soul beasts deserve it, but we humans have been hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings for tens of thousands of years! Sometimes, I also think that this seems to be a skill given to us by God. We have no choice, either not to practice, or to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings and continue to practice!"

Shui Bing'er said with emotion! Zhang Tong continued to ask:
"If one day, a soul beast appeared that even we humans, the Titled Douluo, could not defeat, and it wanted to destroy us humans, do you think it was reasonable?"

"This……"

Shui Bing'er was silent. She came here just to be curious about why Dugu Qiubai didn't use his martial spirit and why he was so obsessed with the competition! She never thought that Dugu Qiubai would talk to her about the relationship between soul beasts and humans!

Shui Bing'er had never thought about this! In the past, he followed the teachings of his elders and hunted soul beasts to improve his strength!

"In addition to natural cultivation, soul beasts can also rely on powerful soul masters who devour humans to improve their cultivation. In simple terms, soul beasts need to eat humans to strengthen their strength. Do you think this is okay?"

Zhang Tong asked the dazed Shui Bing'er!

Shui Bing'er said subconsciously:
"How is this possible!"

"Then why can humans hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings when they improve their strength!"

Zhang Tong asked back:

"This world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak. A long time ago, soul beasts were powerful and humans were weak, so they were often invaded by soul beasts. These were the mistakes soul beasts made, and I don't deny it! But after humans became powerful, they were not satisfied with their own safety, and instead hunted soul beasts to obtain soul rings and soul bones."

Shui Bing'er was silent. She understood that everything Zhang Tong said was correct. The right and wrong between humans and soul beasts were no longer judged by right and wrong, but by the strength of one's body.

After a long silence, Shui Bing'er said:

"I don't know why this world wants us humans to hunt soul beasts. Maybe this is God's will. God is guiding us to do this!"

Zhang Tong said slowly:

"God's will? If the will of this world is wrong, will you still follow its guidance? If you think about the rules of this Douluo world carefully, isn't it just like a large soul beast harvesting slaughterhouse? The creation of a world with such rules is nothing more than an attempt to weaken the strength of soul beasts through this means!"

Shui Bing'er sighed and said:
"This... Sigh... What can we do if we don't follow God's will? Can we really go against God's will?"

Zhang Tong smiled and said:

"Don't you want to know if I'm competing just for the sake of competing? I'm telling you now, I want to prove to the world that the laws of nature in this world are distorted and wrong! I want to defy the will of heaven and change my fate!"

When Shui Bing'er heard what Zhang Tong said, she just smiled and said nothing!

"What? You don't believe it?"

Zhang Tong asked!
"Haha, changing your fate against the will of heaven, this is a bit unrealistic! I have never thought about your so-called changing your fate against the will of heaven!"

Shui Bing'er sighed!

"I know you don't believe it!"

As he spoke, a soul ring slowly rose under Zhang Tong's feet!
"This is……"

Shui Bing'er on the side widened her eyes and looked at the red soul ring in front of her with an incredible look!
"How can this be……"

This opened her eyes. Zhang Tong also retracted his soul ring and said:

"Nothing is impossible in this world! The laws of nature in this world are wrong! One day, I will overthrow this false law of nature! Let soul beasts and humans coexist peacefully! That day will not be too far away..."

Zhang Tong said this, straightened his clothes, and then strode out of the rest area!
At this moment, Shui Bing'er was still standing there in a daze!

"How is this possible? The book says that the red spirit ring is a legendary one hundred thousand years old! How is this possible??"

Shui Bing'er slapped herself to make sure she was not dreaming, and then returned to her academy!
……

Shrek Academy!
Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice:

"Many teams have yet to reveal their trump cards in this qualifying tournament! In the next month, you need to step up your training! Don't let up at all! Get ready for the qualifying tournament. There are fourteen teams in total, many of them are strong, and the requirements for individual strength are extremely high!"

"Hongjun, Mubai, Xiaowu, and Zhuqing, the four of you will definitely play in the promotion competition! Tailong, Jingling, and Huangyuan should be there! So next, I will arrange for Teacher Erlong to train you! In addition, Rong Rong, Oscar, and Jiangzhu cannot relax in their training."

These people fought in a row with their heads slightly lowered!
The opponents in this year's qualifying round are all unexpectedly strong.

None of the five elemental academies are easy targets, especially Tianshui Academy, which crushed them directly in the penultimate game.

Among them there is also a most powerful opponent: Dugu Qiubai.

Although they did not choose to fight Dugu Qiubai in the qualifiers, the same situation was also faced by the Kamikaze Team.

But we will definitely meet in the qualifying rounds and the finals.

Liu Erlong's charming smile seemed like a devil's smile in everyone's eyes, making everyone wail in their hearts.

……

In a month's time, Zhang Tong's actual soul power has reached level 30, and he has unlocked his soul power at level 19!
Meanwhile at Shrek Academy, Tang San and Ning Rongrong practiced distraction control together and barely reached the second level!
At this time, Zhang Tong didn't know what level he had reached in distraction control, but he had his hands, feet and mouth.

Draw five different shapes at the same time. That's a hungry tiger eating a lamb - so easy!
