Commoner Soul Master.
Quan Li was once a Commoner Soul Master.
However, the term 'Commoner Soul Master' is actually a pseudo-term.
The total number of Soul Masters on the entire continent is only over a hundred thousand.
Compared to the entire population, the number of Soul Masters accounts for a very small proportion.
Because of their scarcity and particularity, the moment they awaken their innate Soul Power, whether they are so-called noble Soul Masters or Commoner Soul Masters, they have already stood at the top of human society.

From this moment on, even if he was a commoner before, he will gain a new identity: Soul Master.
And Soul Master, in Douluo Continent, should be the term opposite to commoner.
Admittedly, on the continent, Soul Masters from poor backgrounds, because of the monopoly previously held by noble or royal Soul Masters, cannot obtain the same level of educational resources.
But this injustice is only inequality within the Soul Master world.
If we look at the entire human society, compared to the inequality within Soul Masters, the gap between Soul Masters and non-Soul Masters is truly shocking.
A Soul Master who basically does not engage in production and does not create value will receive a free subsidy from the state from the moment they advance to become a Soul Master.
Even a Soul Scholar who has not obtained a Soul Ring can receive a subsidy of one gold soul coin per month.
Dozens of copper soul coins can buy a boxed lunch with meat and vegetables, which can be converted into RMB in the original world, basically considering one copper soul coin equivalent to one yuan.
One gold soul coin = one hundred silver soul coins = ten thousand copper soul coins.
That is to say, a Soul Scholar can receive a free subsidy equivalent to 120,000 yuan a year.
And higher-level Soul Masters, Soul Grandmasters, their subsidies will be ten times higher than the previous realm.
That is million and 12 million respectively.
And among the hundred thousand Soul Masters, those in these three realms account for the vast majority. To supply Soul Masters in these three realms, whose number is at least more than five figures every year, the amount is completely astronomical.
But the money invested by the state and the Spirit Hall in Soul Masters does not fall from the sky.
In this feudal society where the level of productivity is only at the level of the Middle Ages in the previous life, where does so much money come from?
The answer is self-evident.
These funds must come from the lowest-level mortals, those ordinary people who failed to awaken their innate Soul Power and cannot cultivate.
Just like nobles are not born nobles, they all made considerable contributions at the beginning, so they were granted the privileged class.
However, with the development of human history, this small group of privileged classes began to become increasingly greedy, treating the power given by the people as their due right.
In this way, how could they think of repaying the country or the people?
Unlike the previous life, facing the oppression of the feudal system, fellow mortals, the oppressed, can also shed their blood and resist with their lives.
But in Douluo Continent, these bottom-level mortals not only have the mountain of feudalism pressing on them, but above them, there is also a mountain called Soul Master.
This mountain is too heavy, and even if mortals shed more blood, it is difficult to move it.
Just because the gap between Soul Masters and mortals is too great.
Take Dugu Bo as an example, if a Titled Douluo with poison attributes fights against an army of hundreds of thousands or millions of mortals, what will be the final result?
In Douluo Continent, the answer is simple.
That is Dugu Bo wins!
Such a despairing comparison is also the reason why there have been no major social changes in the history of the entire Douluo Continent for nearly a thousand years.
Among them, the Spirit Hall satisfied the emotions of the vast majority of ordinary people who were unwilling to continue to be oppressed, which is why it was able to rapidly expand its power under the noses of the two great empires and grow to its current state.
According to Quan Yi's observation, the Spirit Hall has indeed broken the monopoly and exclusive possession of martial soul awakening, opening up a channel for the struggling common people to rise.
However, ironically, these Soul Masters who awaken from commoners, at the moment of transforming into a privileged class, will abandon their status as commoners and instead become Soul Masters who exploit commoners.
What is even more terrifying is that this transformation starts at the age of six. Children at the age of six cannot work yet, so how can they remember the hardships of the common people?
On his journey across the continent, Quan Yi has seen countless dilapidated villages with various stone tablets erected in front of them, all engraved with the name of a certain Soul Master, or the title of a certain Soul Master level.
Soul Saint Village, Soul Emperor Village, Soul King Village...
These stone tablets must have incorporated the most simple expectations of the villagers.
However, Quan Yi rarely sees such villages becoming prosperous because a Soul Master came out of the village.
This cannot be blamed on them for being ruthless.
After all, the resources required for the growth of a Commoner Soul Master cannot be provided by a village.
Soul Masters who have been growing up in the Soul Master group since the age of six, especially Commoner Soul Masters, know best that even within the Soul Master world, the gap between Soul Masters can be even greater.
The small Soul Master world will form a more strict hierarchical order due to the level of martial souls, soul power level, and the configuration of soul rings.
In this small pyramid, Commoner Soul Masters must pay more resources and efforts if they want to continue climbing upwards.
At this stage, their own background not only cannot become a strong support, but may even become a burden that hinders them.
Under this realistic situation, the Spirit Hall, just like performing martial soul awakenings for commoners, once again throws olive branches to talented Commoner Soul Masters.
They use more massive resources to attract and cultivate Commoner Soul Masters who want to continue climbing upwards.
And these Soul Masters who are cultivated by the Spirit Hall will naturally be grateful to the Spirit Hall after they grow up.
When they become adults, with their horizons broadened, how can they look down on commoners? Even to prevent their Soul Master bloodline from being contaminated, they will only seek Soul Master partners.
In this way, Commoner Soul Masters will completely shed the title of commoner after a short generation of transformation.
The Spirit Hall is indeed very fair, especially to Soul Masters.
But, are they fair to commoners?
The answer must be no.
Without oppression, how can the people be grateful to the Spirit Hall?
Without a strict hierarchical pyramid, how can they continue to take for granted the exploitation of the surplus value of mortals to support the top Soul Masters?
If they abandon this strict order, face up to the contributions of the grassroots people, and place the people's status on an equal footing with Soul Masters, then Bibi Dong's papal authority, which is responded to by everyone, will collapse in an instant.
At that time, Soul Masters will no longer be the noblest profession on the entire continent, but will become the most despicable bloodsuckers.
In Spirit City, low-level Soul Masters are waiters, so what about commoners?
