Soul Land: Live Quiz, The Whole World is Exposed by Me

In conclusion, after pondering deeply on the root cause of Jiang Nannan's desperate actions—selling herself to save her mother—Lin Yu ultimately arrived at an answer. The reason, he believed, lay in the world of the Peerless Tang Sect, where no faction existed to support or protect ordinary Spirit Masters. There was simply no one to speak for them, resulting in the rampant mistreatment of commoners.

In Douluo Dalu I, for example, ordinary Spirit Masters had a reliable backing in the Spirit Hall. To gain the loyalty of commoner Spirit Masters, the Spirit Hall would act on their behalf, ensuring a degree of protection and justice. Because of this, powerful clans and influential Spirit Master families dared not oppress commoners excessively, as commoners could always seek refuge under the Spirit Hall.

However, in the Peerless Tang Sect, the Spirit Hall no longer exists. While Shrek Academy may have seemed like a replacement, it only inherited the Spirit Hall's prestigious status, not its responsibilities. Shrek Academy couldn't fulfill the Spirit Hall's role, such as awakening spirits free of charge for the common people or maintaining order within the Spirit Master world.

Perhaps, in the beginning, Shrek Academy had intended to follow in the Spirit Hall's footsteps. Yet, over time, it gradually abandoned that responsibility. Without the Spirit Hall providing free spirit awakenings for all, Shrek Academy's society became increasingly stratified, with commoner Spirit Masters overshadowed and suppressed by well-established Spirit Master families.

As a result, the entire Douluo Continent's commoner Spirit Masters had been silenced, deprived of their voice and power.

Ah, I can't help but miss the Spirit Hall…

With the answer clearly in mind, Lin Yu quickly posted it on the virtual screen:

[Lin Yu]: The root cause of Jiang Nannan's tragic situation lies in the lack of a powerful faction willing to stand up for ordinary Spirit Masters. Without anyone to support or speak for them, commoners can be bullied at will.

After sharing his answer, Lin Yu awaited the chatroom's response. Being the system's chosen host, Lin Yu was not only exempt from penalties for up to three incorrect answers but could also know if his answer was correct in advance. Soon enough, the system's icy voice echoed in his mind:

"Congratulations, Host! You answered correctly!"

Seeing that his answer was, indeed, the right one, Lin Yu's face lit up with satisfaction. However, since rewards would be granted to the first three correct responders rather than just the first, he still had a plan. Lin Yu immediately transmitted the answer to his Shangqing clone, who was currently in the City of Slaughter.

Now, the clone wasn't there to compete for rewards. Instead, Lin Yu aimed to have Bi Luo answer next, ensuring she could obtain the second prize, a Ten Thousand Year Heaven-Blessed Spirit Ring, and offer it to Tang San, strengthening the bond between Bi Luo and Tang San. Simultaneously, this set the stage for Lin Yu's plan to outmaneuver Yu Xiaogang.

Following the plan, Shangqing Lin Yu promptly used telepathy to relay the answer to Bi Luo:

"The reason behind Jiang Nannan's predicament is the lack of a force to support commoner Spirit Masters and uphold justice, leaving them vulnerable to oppression. Go, answer quickly!"

After receiving the answer, Bi Luo hesitated for a moment but quickly responded in the chat:

[Bi Luo]: The root cause of Jiang Nannan's tragic situation lies in the absence of a force willing to stand up for ordinary Spirit Masters, allowing the privileged to exploit and harm them!

Just moments after Lin Yu's answer, Bi Luo's response appeared. The other forces in the live stream, realizing the first reward was likely lost, were immediately on edge. With Bi Luo's answer up, panic ensued as many scrambled to submit their guesses, even if they were unsure.

Within seconds, a flood of answers appeared on the virtual screen:

[Dugu Bo]: The core reason for Jiang Nannan's suffering is the lack of a faction to represent commoner Spirit Masters, leaving them vulnerable to abuse!

[Spirit Hall - Lin Luo]: The tragedy stems from the absence of a faction like the Spirit Hall to speak for commoners!

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan - Ning Feng]: Shrek Academy's internal corruption caused Jiang Nannan's situation!

…

As the ten responder slots filled quickly, the answering session ended.

Shortly after, the system evaluated the first ten responses. As a line of blood-red text emerged before everyone's eyes, the chilling voice of the livestream echoed in their ears:
