Chapter 64 A Masterpiece
After the cooperation agreement was reached, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School demonstrated the efficiency of a top-tier sect, and the construction team quickly set off for the newly acquired land opposite the Tang Sect in Shrek City.
Construction of the Spirit Pagoda branch was launched immediately, and the somewhat dilapidated Tang Sect was also renovated as a sign of the alliance.
The outside world believed that this newly built site was merely a forward outpost.
After all, given the current state of the Spirit Pagoda, everyone would assume that it is an ancient organization that has been hidden for thousands of years and whose foundation is unfathomable. Its true headquarters should be located in a secluded mountain valley shrouded in mist, majestic and unapproachable to mortals.
However, only Huo Yutong and a few core members knew that the Spirit Pagoda was only officially established last month, and at present, the only human members were her and Xiao Xiao.
Even the badges were designed just last week. The blacksmith shops in Shrek City have been working at full capacity these past few days, and they've only managed to produce a few hundred badges. Meanwhile, the Spirit Pagoda has initially ordered a thousand badges.
Upon thinking of this, Tianmeng cried out in frustration within Huo Yutong's mental sea, her voice filled with grievance.
"It was clearly originally my idea to design this, the great Sister Tianmeng! My design is the masterpiece!"
Old Yi's was good, but it lacked something... a certain soul-stirring power!
In the real world, Huo Yutong's expression instantly became somewhat subtle, an awkward mix of wanting to laugh but holding it back.
She recalled the scene at that time.
At that moment, Tianmeng proudly held up a design drawing, and the design drawing had... a pattern that was hard to describe.
It's more like a distorted, abstract vortex radiating a dazzling, rainbow-like halo.
The lines twist, break, and recombine haphazardly, and the use of color is extremely bold. High-saturation fluorescent color blocks collide without any transition, as if a palette has been overturned and forcibly kneaded into an irregular geometric shape.
Some parts even flicker with spots resembling distorted electronic pixels, revealing an astonishing "postmodern" style that is completely detached from the classical aesthetics of Douluo Continent.
"Nonsense!" Hyotei's voice was filled with undisguised disgust and anger.
"Tianmeng! What kind of grotesque scribbles have you come up with, you idiot?!"
This thing deserves to be called design? It's just visually offensive!
"If we take this out, the enemy might be blinded by its ugliness before they even make a move!"
Almost simultaneously, Electrolux also exclaimed, "Absolutely absurd!"
If such aesthetically unappealing and mind-disturbing patterns were used as the symbol of my Spirit Pagoda, wouldn't it become a laughing stock for the world?
Tianmeng, you are punished by facing the wall for three days to reflect on what constitutes "proper conduct"!
Tianmeng tried to argue that "you don't understand beauty that transcends time," but she was refuted and left speechless, only able to curl up in a ball in grievance.
Crescent Moon added, "We cannot appreciate your art."
……
"Quiet down." Huo Yutong stepped forward, her clear voice silencing the noise.
"First of all, congratulations everyone on officially becoming a member of the Spirit Pagoda! From now on, we will be partners walking side by side."
Under Xiao Xiao's organization, the students who successfully joined registered their information in an orderly manner.
After registration was completed, Huo Yutong's expression turned solemn, and she began to announce the tower rules that she had previously discussed and drafted with Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji and other ferocious beasts and several seniors in the Sea of Spirit. The core of these rules was unity, loyalty, and prohibition of using the tower's resources to commit evil deeds.
Next came the most important ceremony – the distribution of badges representing the identities of members of the Spirit Pagoda.
"Next, we will distribute the insignia of our Spirit Pagoda," Huo Yutong said, flipping her palm to reveal an exquisite brooch.
The brooch is made of an unknown silver metal, with openwork spiral patterns symbolizing spiritual power. At the center is a tiny but radiant blue crystal, like a wise eye. The overall design is both ancient and mysterious, and full of streamlined beauty, revealing an artistic sense that transcends time.
"This badge was personally designed by Lord Electrolux, the Tower Master," Huo Yutong introduced, her tone filled with reverence.
The students stepped forward one after another, solemnly received the badges from Huo Yutong, and pinned them to their chests, their faces beaming with pride and a sense of belonging.
After distributing the badges, Huo Yutong's gaze swept over the young and energetic faces before her, knowing that the true inheritance was about to begin.
She raised her voice: "The badge is a symbol of identity, but the Spirit Tower can offer you far more than that."
Next, I will impart to you one of the core foundations of the Spirit Pagoda—a cultivation technique that can solidify your foundation, nurture your soul power, and even subtly enhance your spiritual strength.
Techniques that can directly enhance mental strength are extremely rare in the entire Douluo Continent, and their value is immeasurable.
The new members held their breath, their eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation.
The meditation method that Huo Yutong taught was naturally simplified and improved by Electrolux, making it very suitable for beginners to build a foundation.
She explained the incantation and the route of soul power circulation to everyone clearly, word by word, and personally demonstrated it.
The training ground was completely silent, save for Huo Yutong's clear and melodious explanation.
Everyone was completely focused, trying their best to memorize and understand this profound technique.
They understood that from this moment on, their life trajectories had been completely altered by their decision to join the Spirit Pagoda.
After the training method was taught, the training ground was not quiet. The new members either sat cross-legged or focused on comprehending the techniques, all working hard to practice the meditation methods they had just learned.
Huo Yutong stood quietly in front, her clear gaze sweeping across the entire room, taking in everyone's reactions. Xiao Xiao was also by her side; Xiao Xiao had been taught meditation techniques on the very day she joined.
She was gratified. The core value of this technique, which was led by Teacher Electrolux and "assisted" by Sister Tianmeng (although most of her suggestions were rejected in terms of aesthetics, it did have its unique aspects in terms of energy guidance), lies in this: to solidify the foundation, nurture the soul power, and subtly enhance spiritual power.
This is the true cornerstone of the Spirit Pagoda's future.
She recalled Electrolux's explanation. In the Douluo Continent, human children awaken their Martial Soul at the age of six, thus determining their life trajectory.
Those children with soul power embark on the path of soul masters, but their young bodies are too fragile. In the early stages, eight or nine out of ten soul powers they absorb are used to improve their physique and promote development.
This explains why children from Soul Master families are usually stronger than ordinary children, and also explains the common phenomenon that their Soul Power level increases abnormally slowly before the age of twelve.
After thousands of years of exploration, the martial spirit theory community has recognized the period from twelve to thirty years old as the "golden cultivation period" when the body and martial spirit gradually mature and cultivation is twice as effective. This is also the main reason why most soul masters choose to start a family and career after they turn thirty.
