Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

"We give up!" Mingjing obediently raised her little hand.

The seven members of the main team watched as Ye Qing effortlessly won, defeating the sparring team that had beaten them more than ten times without ever winning once. Their expressions were incredibly varied.

Having fought the sparring team more than ten times and suffered repeated defeats, they were well aware of the strength of the seven members. Without a doubt, the sparring team was stronger than them in both raw strength and teamwork; otherwise, they would not have suffered repeated defeats.

The result was that this formidable team, which they had no chance against, was defeated by Ye Qing alone...

"The sparring team has conceded defeat. I hereby declare Ye Qing the winner of this Soul Battle!" Yan Shaozhe announced the result with a smile, and then said to Ye Qing, "Since you have proven your strength, then choose the regular team member you wish to replace."

"Of course, if the replaced team member has any other opinions, they can speak up. If they want to prove themselves by having a spirit battle with Ye Qing, that's fine too."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe, who had always believed that Ye Qing's target was his Chen Zifeng, immediately tensed up.

But Ye Qing didn't even glance at him. Instead, she looked at Yao Haoxuan, who was grinning broadly on the other side, and raised an eyebrow meaningfully: "Then I'll choose to replace Yao Haoxuan."

Yao Haoxuan: Huh?

Chen Zifeng was stunned, Yao Haoxuan was stunned, and everyone else on the main team was stunned.

"Why?" Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qing frowned slightly, his expression thoughtful, and said, "If I had to say why, it's because your martial soul ability is rather useless. I've seen some information about you before and know a bit about you."

This stemmed from curiosity about Yao Haoxuan's martial spirit.

Because the original novel never actually described what Yao Haoxuan's martial soul was; all that was known was that after releasing his martial soul, he would transform into a small giant with bulging muscles, and it was some kind of 'support and control type'.

In addition, this guy was the only one that the Grim Reaper had clearly killed, and he didn't have any chance to show up afterward. This meant that Ye Qing, who had read the original novel several times, didn't know what his martial soul was. That's why he couldn't resist his curiosity and went to Yan Shaozhe to ask for a copy of their information.

"Your martial soul is the War Giant, right? Its ability is to inspire teammates or weaken opponents with a roar. It also has relatively high physical strength and certain close combat capabilities," Ye Qing asked.

Yao Haoxuan nodded. His martial soul was the War Giant, which was classified as a beast martial soul. The War Giant was not a physical martial soul, but a humanoid martial soul somewhat like the Flame Lord of the Martial Soul Hall.

Although it resembles a human, it is not Yao Haoxuan himself, and therefore is not classified within the category of original martial soul.

"So your spirit isn't actually that useful to our team. Gongyang Mo is already good enough for support. While the Rainbow Dragon's support isn't as strong as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it's more durable and doesn't require the precise allocation of spirit power like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It can enhance everyone's attributes simultaneously. As for control, we already have Ling Luochen." Ye Qing shrugged. Although Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen, whom he mentioned, didn't directly respond to the topic, their eyes showed a hint of agreement.

Before Yao Haoxuan could even speak, Yan Shaozhe said, "But this would leave the team without a defensive-type Soul Master. With Gongyang Mo's assistance, Yao Haoxuan could, to some extent, fulfill the role of a defensive-type Soul Master."

Yao Haoxuan nodded repeatedly, expressing his appreciation for Dean Yan's wisdom and extraordinary insight.

He's useful too!

Ye Qing simply smiled, and after her soul rings lit up again, she waved her hand, casting a Holy Radiance Blessing on Ling Luochen, who was watching the drama unfold. She then raised an eyebrow at Xixi, who was also watching the drama unfold next to her.

"How about it, want to try and see if you can break through my shield?"

After exchanging glances with Ye Qing, Xi Xi looked at the golden light shield on Ling Luochen's body, nodded silently, and then activated her Lightning Leopard form, immediately beginning her signature Gua Sha technique.

Even though she used her fifth soul skill, with more than ten phantoms and her real body scraping against him, she still couldn't break the Holy Radiance Protection that Ye Qing had placed on Ling Luochen. After dispelling the martial soul possession, she looked at Ye Qing pantingly, her eyes full of speechlessness.

Why would a strong offensive type like you have such a cheesy shield-type soul skill?

Ye Qing simply smiled.

After condensing the soul core, his total soul power was already approaching that of a Super Douluo. The shield that had just been placed on Ling Luochen was less than 5% of his total soul power, and the Yin-Yang soul core had replenished it in just a few breaths.

Then Ye Qing spread his eight wings of holy light and cast a healing beam of holy light on Yang Jingjun. Yang Jingjun, who had been slightly injured by the electric shock, was fully restored in a second.

Xixi opened her mouth, her cute, chubby face full of confusion.

"How come you, a power-attack type Soul Master, can both cast shields and heal?"

"What are you saying? Is a spirit soul such an inconvenient thing? As a light-attribute spirit master, isn't it normal for me to cast a light shield and use light to heal? Don't think that just because I can be a defensive and healing spirit master, I can also be an agility-attack spirit master." Ye Qing's expression was somewhat displeased.

After his second spirit ring glowed slightly, Ye Qing's body flashed by and appeared behind Xi Xi in the blink of an eye, patting her shoulder.

The little leopard was so frightened that it immediately had a stress response.

In the end, Yao Haoxuan left dejectedly, while Chen Zifeng, who successfully stayed in the team, was overjoyed. Yao Haoxuan's previous grinning expression immediately returned to his own face.

Ye Qing glanced at Yao Haoxuan's thin, departing figure, her eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Hey bro, don't blame me for kicking you out, I'm saving you! You know, in the original story, after the zombie explosion, you almost had half your body blown off, and the zombie poison entered your body and you died on the spot.

Compared to life and death, competitions are nothing, right?

As the only guy in the original main team to die, Ye Qing still decided to save him, since there was no guarantee that Xuanzi wouldn't do something weird and kill him off again.

Let him just not go.

“Now that the team has been reorganized, the seven of you can continue training. However, when fighting against the sparring partners, Ye Qing is not allowed to use his fourth and fifth spirit rings, so as not to disrupt the training effect,” Yan Shaozhe said.

"?" Ye Qing was dumbfounded.

Good grief, sparring partner, sparring partner, what does sparring partner mean? Isn't it for improving teamwork and coordination in battle? But instead of training matches, they're putting on this show of restricting soul skills?

It feels like Yu Xiaogang is restricting Tang San. Tang San can't use the Eight Spider Lances or hidden weapons, and Ye Qing isn't allowed to use the fourth or fifth spirit ring, right?

Should I use the sixth one?

Ye Qing clicked her tongue: "Alright then."

Seeing Ye Qing's speechless expression, Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly: "Don't be dissatisfied. After all, we have all witnessed your strength. If you use your full strength, training and combat will not be effective."

"Of course, if you want to go all out, that's not impossible, but..."

Yan Shaozhe clapped his hands, and Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo stepped forward, smiling at Ye Qing.

"If you want to go all out, then put Le Xuan and Ruo Ruo on the field to replace the corresponding offensive and control positions in the sparring team."

With the addition of Ye Qing, a Soul King, the strength of the sparring team skyrocketed. Even the referee, who was banned from participating in the competition, personally stepped onto the field, demonstrating Yan Shaozhe's recognition of his junior brother.

One Soul Saint is not enough to restrain Ye Qing. Two Soul Saints, one for attack and one for control, are needed. Zhang Lexuan is fine, with a gentle and calm expression, but Han Ruoruo is somewhat expectant. Several years ago, she had thought about whether to take advantage of Ye Qing's young age and strike first.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Lexuan actually stole from her own post, which led her to tease Zhang Lexuan about it quite a bit afterward in order to cover up her sour feelings.

As sisters, Han Ruoruo naturally wouldn't have the idea of ​​competing with Zhang Lexuan for a man, but that didn't stop her from testing Ye Qing's abilities and seeing just how strong an extreme attribute genius with a super soul ring ratio really was.

Ye Qing did not refuse this arrangement.

"Let's go together then. I'll leave it to Le Xuan and Sister Ruo Ruo to give us some good training." Ye Qing smiled and then began to get to know the other six members of the main team better.

To become a strong team, teamwork is essential, and the first thing to do is to understand the abilities of your teammates.

After a year of getting to know each other, Ma Xiaotao and the others had already grasped the abilities of the others. Now, it was Ye Qing, the student who had joined the team, who needed to go through this process.

Zhang Lexuan also gathered the sparring partners together to discuss the upcoming training plan.

Looking at the two teams that had split into two groups, Yan Shaozhe nodded in satisfaction, then left the Soul Arena and flew towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Just now, he received a message from Moon that the Sea God Pavilion meeting was about to be held, and he was to return to the Sea God Pavilion immediately to attend the meeting.

Since the participating teams no longer needed Yan Shaozhe's attention, he naturally went to the Sea God Pavilion to attend the meeting.

When Yan Shaozhe arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, the tables in the hall were already full of people, except for his seat, which was still empty. Yan Shaozhe did not linger and quickly went to his seat.

At this Sea God Pavilion meeting, Mu En, unusually, did not watch silently from the shadows, but instead came to the main seat, after all, he was the one who convened this Sea God Pavilion meeting.

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe had returned to his place, Xuanzi began, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin this Sea God Pavilion meeting. Elder Mu, is there anything you need to arrange for this meeting?"

With Xuanzi's introduction, all the elders turned their attention to Mu En, who was sitting in the main seat.

"The reason for this meeting is still that little guy Ye Qing," Mu En said slowly in a hoarse voice after glancing at everyone.

"It's that little guy again. Ever since his martial spirit awakened, we old folks have gathered together several times because of him, haven't we?" Lin Huiqun couldn't help but laugh.

The other elders also turned their gaze to Ye Feng at the far end of the round table. Ye Feng had a proud look on his face, which made the other old guys feel a mixture of envy and speechlessness.

Why isn't my own child as promising?

Ye Feng looked at Mu En, his eyes questioning, "Elder Mu, what has my grandson done this time that requires discussion and voting at the Sea God Pavilion meeting?"

Yan Shaozhe, who had more contact with Ye Qing, also fell into deep thought. Apart from being out of contact for half a year, he didn't seem to have done anything out of line.

Could it be that... he discovered something unexpected during the six months he was out of contact?

Yan Shaozhe felt he had discovered the key point.

“Next, I have something very serious to say, so don’t panic,” Moon said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Elder Mu. We are elders of the Sea God Pavilion. We have received professional training. No matter what happens, we will never lose our composure!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Apart from the last seated Soul Saint Elder who joined the Sea God Pavilion through theoretical research, who among the rest wasn't a Title Douluo?

Even if Moon said that the Sun Moon Empire was going to launch a war tomorrow, they wouldn't panic at all.

However, Moon simply said one sentence:

"The miraculous herb has reappeared in the world!"

"Huh?!" Xuanzi, who had just confidently declared that she wouldn't panic, suddenly widened her eyes and stood up abruptly, knocking the chair she was sitting on to the ground.

Although the other elders weren't as exaggerated as Xuanzi, they still couldn't help but stare at each other with wide eyes, their expressions extremely interesting.

"Elder Mu... the immortal herb you mentioned, is it the kind of immortal herb that Tang San's ancestors took...?" Elder Zhang, who had the most theoretical knowledge, asked with trembling lips, his face full of uncontrollable joy.

These are divine herbs!

What they lack most in their theoretical work is practical experience, especially when it comes to miraculous herbs that only exist in ancient books. If they could see them with their own eyes, they would probably be willing to commit suicide.

Mu En nodded, took out the jade box Ye Qing had given him, and slowly opened it.
