The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 29 On the Spirit Hall
"Never mind, just break all their legs."

Xing couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. The baseball bat appeared out of thin air in her hand and smashed towards the legs of the three men, sparks flying.

"Martial Soul Possession, Number One... Ah!!!"

The three men's resistance was as laughable as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In just a few breaths, their legs had been broken, and they were kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.

They were incredibly grateful that this 'silly' girl was naive enough; otherwise, Tianya and Lao'e's fifth leg would have been lost just like Bule's.

When Meng Huaifeng led the two to Xing, they saw Xing looting the three scoundrels of their spoils.

"Ah Xing, what are you doing? Robbery?" March 7 exclaimed in surprise. Had Xing gone astray in such a short time?
"Gentlemen, are you alright? I'm so sorry." Dan Heng apologetically helped Bu Le up.

"No, they weren't good people. They said they wanted to explore the mysteries of the human body with me," Xing said confidently, recounting how the three men had deceived her.

"What are the mysteries of the human body?" March 7th didn't understand at first.

Despite his aloof demeanor, Dan Heng is actually a bit of a closet pervert. He understood immediately and pushed Bu Le, whom he had just helped up, back to the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that they had already been beaten up by Xing, Dan Heng would have taken out the Strike Cloud and poked a few holes in them.

"Hand these three people over to the Spirit Hall," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Isn't the Spirit Hall a civilian organization? Why not hand it over to the government?" Dan Heng frowned.

"The government doesn't care about Soul Masters. If they were willing to join the government, they might even be made nobles," Meng Huaifeng scoffed.

Since Xing had broken the legs of the three men, it wouldn't be convenient to take them to the Spirit Hall. So, they simply knocked the three men unconscious. Meng Huaifeng carried one of them, and Dan Heng carried one in each hand, and they walked towards the Spirit Hall.

Along the way, Meng Huaifeng gave the three a detailed introduction to the Spirit Hall, from free Spirit Awakening to the distribution of Spirit Master subsidies, and the suppression of evil Spirit Masters.

"If it weren't for the deterrent effect of the Spirit Hall, the two great empires would have been completely ruined long ago," Meng Huaifeng remarked.

"If the Spirit Hall doesn't do Spirit Awakening, the various empires and kingdoms will. And the money for Spirit Master subsidies also comes from the two great empires. What is the Spirit Hall compared to that?" Perhaps the servants had been too lenient, for Old Goose, who had somehow woken up, interjected.

The Spirit Hall's main targets are disreputable Spirit Masters with questionable conduct. These three are clearly among those targeted, so naturally they have no goodwill towards the Spirit Hall.

"Heh. Who gave you permission to interrupt?"

Meng Huaifeng sneered twice and slapped the old goose unconscious again.

Dan Heng could obviously understand the key point: if it weren't for the Spirit Hall, would the two great empires have paid for this? Awakening a spirit would probably also require a fee.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, Huaifeng, you said before that the Spirit Hall is the villain, right?" Sanyueqi asked, puzzled.

"From the perspective of feudal nobles and Tang San, the Spirit Hall suppresses the empire and sects, extracting profits from them and distributing them to those peasants. They are definitely villains," Meng Huaifeng said, shrugging.

"So, such an excellent organization with ideals, benefits, actions, and popular support will be destroyed by the feudal nobles of this world in the future, together with the protagonist Tang San, and turned into villains?" Dan Heng believes that this is very inconsistent with the development of historical processes.

"There's nothing we can do; the gods above are biased and have interfered. The gods of this world need faith, and the more ignorant people are, the easier it is for them to develop faith. The gods won't allow this world to develop. The power of the individual surpasses that of the collective society," Meng Huaifeng said. If the star gods of the Collapse Iron World weren't all on their own destinies and didn't need faith, the Collapse Iron World could never have developed such a brilliant cosmic civilization.

"These gods are shameless," March 7 cursed.

"Can I beat them?" Xing asked eagerly.

"It doesn't matter, the Nameless One will take action. Now that we're here, in a few years, once the two worlds are connected, those corrupt gods will naturally be purged," Dan Heng comforted him.

"Was Tang San's spirit awakened by the Spirit Hall? Did he claim the benefits the Spirit Hall gives to low-level spirit masters?" March 7 asked curiously.

"Yes, I received them all, every single month without fail," Meng Huaifeng nodded in confirmation.

(￣_￣|||).

March 7th's expression was like this: recalling his two encounters with Tang San, he felt a chill: "It's better if we don't deal with that Tang San in the future."

For the next few days, the four of them spent their days wandering around Soto City and their nights going to the Great Arena to improve their combat experience.

Over the course of a few days, the four of them gained a deeper understanding of Douluo Continent and had a real sense of what Meng Huaifeng had told them.

While strolling around, the enthusiastic March 7th and Hoshi also received several requests from Soto City residents, earning a total of 137 Silver Soul Coins as a reward.

That's right, it's 137 Silver Soul Coins, which is just over one Gold Soul Coin.

This shows that the living standards of ordinary people and Soul Masters are worlds apart.

After participating in the Soul Battle again today, March 7 stretched and said, "We've pretty much seen all of Soto City. Shall we go somewhere else to play next? Suddenly, without the seven-day time limit, we have so much time. It's really a bit strange."

“The city we’re in now is just the main city of a kingdom. We should at least visit the capitals of the two great empires, and also Martial Soul City,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"It's not just about humans; ecology and species are also part of our exploration. The planets we've visited before were all explored by our predecessors, and their ecology and species are roughly recorded in the database, so we don't need to worry about them. But now that we're personally exploring a completely new planet, we need to be as comprehensive as possible," Dan Heng said.

"Huh? Is it that complicated? How did the predecessors manage to explore a completely new planet in seven days?" March 7 asked in surprise.

"It is said that there used to be more than one Star Train, and each train carried hundreds of nameless passengers. With so many nameless passengers, they could easily explore a normal planet in seven days by splitting up into groups of two or three according to their own preferences," Dan Heng explained.

“But there are only four of us now.” Xing held up four fingers.

“We have plenty of time this time, so there’s no rush. Let’s take it slow,” Dan Heng said.

"How about we head to Sunset Forest next? Let's see what's different about the spirit beasts in this world, and also witness how spirit masters absorb spirit rings," Meng Huaifeng said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He didn't like Tang San, the protagonist of this world, to begin with, let alone the fact that he had already made two enemies as soon as he arrived in this world. If he didn't kill him, couldn't he at least trip him up a bit?

After collecting the immortal herb, let's see if Tang San can still steal the spotlight at the Continental Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
