"If you don't work hard, when you encounter danger, no one will save you, even if I establish a deep friendship with you in the future, and will save you, you have to hold on until I get there, right?"

Tang San said a reason that Xiao Wu could not refute.

But Xiao Wu suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you are still fascinated by my cute appearance."

"Everyone has a love of beauty, unless they have psychological problems, otherwise no one will ignore the existence of cuteness." Tang San said the truth, "But you don't think that I will always protect you, you are not strong, if you die, I will at most put some fruits in front of your tomb on holidays, as a memorial."

"Humph!" Xiao Wu snorted, "Sharp tongue."

Tang San did not comment.

At least, he had made it clear to Xiao Wu the pros and cons.

And Xiao Wu did listen a little bit.

A hundred thousand-year-old soul beast that has transformed, is like a blank sheet of paper, even if it really lived for a hundred thousand years, but in the unchanging environment of the Star Dou Great Forest, even if it gave birth to wisdom, how much knowledge would it have?

Coming to human society, at first it had the habits of a soul beast, but later it slowly communicated with humans, and met what kind of people, and developed what kind of personality.

Xiao Wu was indeed a genius among geniuses, and learned very quickly, as long as she was willing to learn, that is, willing to use her brain... I guess most of the hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts that have transformed are like this.

But it takes time to change the habits of a soul beast that has lived for a hundred thousand years.

On the way to the restaurant, Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "By the way, you haven't told me about the top three sects yet, I was busy practicing climbing trees before."

Tang San said, "The forces of the Douluo Continent can be called one hall, two empires, top three sects, and bottom four sects."

"One hall, that is, the Spirit Hall, which has a branch hall in every city of Douluo Continent, and even in villages, but the Spirit Hall in the village is just a stone house, and there is no Spirit Hall manager, and the village head is responsible for arranging cleaning and repairs every month."

"This is an organization similar to religious belief, and all members are soul masters, recruiting soul masters from all over the continent, and also giving each soul master gold soul coins."

"Soul master, one per month; great soul master, ten per month; soul sovereign, one hundred per month."

Xiao Wu was surprised and said, "Is the Spirit Hall a good person?"

"At the beginning, when it was just established, it might be, but after thousands of years of development, it may not be, after all, a big power develops for a long time, and there are always worms born inside." Tang San said objectively, "But, the Spirit Hall's basic guarantee for civilian soul masters is pretty good, no matter what interests are involved in this, at least we ate it in our mouths, right?"

Xiao Wu nodded and asked, "Soul sovereign one hundred per month, is soul sect one thousand?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and shook his head, "Zero."

"Ah?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled, "Why not give it anymore?"

"Ordinary people awaken their souls, if they can cultivate, cultivate to the soul sect, at least twenty years old and up, twenty years old, already an adult, have to be self-reliant, don't you want to continue to freeload?" Tang San rolled his eyes, "The Spirit Hall is to cultivate soul masters, not to do charity, if you want to continue to get money, you can only join the Spirit Hall."

"Also, if a soul master is over forty years old and has not reached the soul sect, the Spirit Hall will also stop giving subsidies."

"After all, they are forty years old, middle-aged, and their bodies begin to age, if they don't have a chance to change their destiny, they definitely can't break through, don't they want to provide for these people's retirement?"

Xiao Wu nodded frequently, feeling that Tang San made sense, and also had a little bit of goodwill towards the Spirit Hall.   

"Next, it is the two empires, Heavenly Dou and Star Luo, currently there are only these two empires on the continent, and the other duchies, kingdoms, independent cities and the like, are mostly affiliated to these two empires, and there are more kingdoms and duchies in the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Tang San paused, and continued to say.

"The soul of the Heavenly Dou royal family is the swan. According to the existing records, if they have not been modified by anyone, or deliberately concealed, then there has never been a Title Douluo in their royal family. They govern the country mainly by enfeoffing the nobles, allowing the nobles of various kingdoms and duchies to be autonomous, and thus achieving balance."

"The Star Luo Empire, the royal family's inherited soul is the white tiger. The people in its territory are fierce and brave. If the records in the book are correct, and nothing major has happened to the Star Luo Empire in these years, then if you go there, you can often see fights happening."

"However, it is also because of this atmosphere that the competition in the royal family is extremely fierce, similar to raising gu, only the strongest one can become the emperor, and the one who fails in the competition, just one word: death. And the successive Star Luo emperors, even if they did not meet the conditions for competition, were basically Soul Douluo or Title Douluo level existences."

"The top three sects are the Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Among them, the Haotian Sect's ancestral soul is the Haotian Hammer, which is said to be mutated from the forging hammer. It follows the extreme path, and all the skills brought by the soul rings are related to strength, but not the kind of soul skills that only increase strength, not the ultimate path. However, this sect offended the Spirit Hall, and had its backbone broken, and is currently sealed in the mountains, and it is difficult to see the Haotian Sect disciples in the outside world."

"Next, it is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, an auxiliary type soul, following the balanced path, or rather, they can only follow the balanced path."

Xiao Wu puzzled: "Why?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul has seven layers, and can only add seven soul rings. Except for the soul body, the first six soul skills are all amplifications, namely: strength, speed, defense, attribute, soul power, attack. No matter which kind of soul beast is hunted, the soul skill obtained will only be one of these six. The soul master who possesses this soul can adjust the order of amplification according to his own situation."

Tang San sighed, "This is also the peculiar feature of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul, because the amplification is too powerful, causing them to only be able to cultivate to the 79th level, and without special circumstances, it is impossible to reach the Soul Douluo level."

"However, because of its powerful amplification ability, it has a great effect on Title Douluo, so many Title Douluo will sell face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Their sect has a large industry, selling all kinds of luxury goods, as well as life-type soul devices, following the high-end route, ordinary people can't afford it."

At this point, Tang San paused, thinking about how to describe the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"The last Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, although crowned with the name of the top three sects, in my opinion, is more like a family."

"Their soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a true dragon species, and their bloodline requirements are far higher than the other two. They intermarry and marry, and their selection of the other half requires that they be dragon-related, at least have something to do with dragons, otherwise they will be strongly opposed by the high-levels of the family... If they really like the other half whose soul is not a dragon species, they can only sneak around, and can't be open and aboveboard."

"Otherwise, it would set a bad precedent, and the people in the family would see it and do the same, and the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul might be lost, or cause the bloodline of the offspring to be impure."

This is also Tang San's reasonable inference from the words and phrases related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that he saw in the books in the Spirit Hall - in order to ensure the stable inheritance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul.

Perhaps the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not understand genetics, but they summed up some truths and conclusions from thousands of years of experience.

This is also why Liu Erlong's talent was obviously good, but she could only be a bastard, and her father Yu Luomian did not give her the surname "Yu", and he might not have even taken her back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After all, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's age difference should not be big, at least not more than ten years old, otherwise the two of them would not be able to form the Golden Iron Triangle with Flender.

The conditions for the Star Luo Empire's throne to be unable to compete -

It was impossible for every generation to have two "Dark Demon Evil God Tigers" born.

Soul fusion, not any white tiger soul and Dark Demon Evil God Cat soul can do, otherwise soul fusion skills would not be so rare, Zhu family and Dai family would have enough to dominate the entire Douluo Continent in two or three hundred years, and the Spirit Hall would not be able to suppress them.
