Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

"Anyway, with Le Xuan watching, she'll help you even if you can't avoid it. Just focus on the battle." Ye Qing said casually, and then his second soul ring flashed slightly before his figure disappeared into the air.

Before Han Ruoruo could react, a warm, large hand gently gripped her neck, making her scalp tingle and causing the hairs on her body to stand on end under the stimulation of the threat.

"Otherwise... you'll end up like you now, not even knowing when you'll lose your life." Ye Qing whispered in Han Ruoruo's ear in a cold, deep voice.

"I surrender!" Han Ruoruo immediately stopped giggling and obediently gave a French military salute.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is that teleportation?"

"No, it's just soon." Ye Qing turned around and smiled, then raised an eyebrow at Zhang Lexuan. "Lexuan, it's your turn, okay?"

……

In the end, the regular team naturally won, but there was absolutely no teamwork in this training match; it was entirely Ye Qing showing off by himself.

After Ye Qing eliminated Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan, he easily eliminated the other five members of the sparring team. However, on the main team, Xixi was also eliminated, and Chen Zifeng didn't have much soul power left.

If Ye Qing comes back later, he will definitely be eliminated.

Overall, apart from Ye Qing's rampage, only Ma Xiaotao was holding her own. The others were at a complete disadvantage, but this was mainly due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels; their teamwork was secondary.

After another training match, it got dark. Ye Qing and Yan Shaozhe arrived quite late, so today's training was temporarily over.

After having dinner with Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, Ye Qing returned to his dormitory. To his surprise, the dormitory, which rarely had any visitors, was now wide open.

It’s Ye Feng.

At the Sea God Pavilion meeting, he originally wanted to use his identity as Ye Qing's grandfather to compete with Xuan Zi and Song Yunzhi for the ownership of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, but unsurprisingly, he was eliminated by the two sides working together.

Unable to contain his rage, he naturally couldn't help but vent his frustrations to Ye Qing.

He was probably complaining about why Ye Qing hadn't given him the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid directly, but instead handed it over to the academy. Ye Qing maintained a smile on the surface, but sighed inwardly.

My own adoptive grandfather...

"I don't have any more celestial-grade herbs, but I still have this ninth-grade purple ganoderma." Ye Qing's smile remained unchanged as he took out the ninth-grade purple ganoderma and handed it to Ye Feng, then casually sent him back.

“Immortal herbs only have the greatest effect when taken when you are young. At your cultivation level and age, there is not much difference in effect between the ninth-grade purple ganoderma and that eight-petaled immortal orchid. It will be no problem to help you break through to level ninety-five.” Ye Qing sighed, his expression very helpless.

"You're my grandfather, how could I possibly forget you?"

"Haha, he truly is my precious grandson!" Ye Feng took the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma and ran off without waiting.

Ye Qing smiled slightly as she approached the door, closed it, and then turned back into her room to cultivate.

After two more days of team training, the day of the start of school finally arrived. Although whether school started or not had little to do with Ye Qing and other inner court disciples, there was a good show to watch today!

Starting from the second year, the first day of school in the Foreign Languages ​​Department is always an entrance exam. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao put on a big show during the entrance exam.

Having developed to this level, Ye Qing naturally wouldn't see Huo Yuhao as a threat, and basically didn't bother to pay attention to how he lived. However, Ye Qing was still very curious about what Huo Yuhao had gained from his trip to the far north.

With both Ice and Snow Emperors already taken away by him, what kind of second martial soul could Huo Yuhao possibly obtain?

Will he still try to show off during the college entrance exam?

With the intention of watching a good show, Ye Qing led Zhang Lexuan to the outer courtyard.

But before heading to the fighting arena, Ye Qing noticed a very familiar-looking person.

He was tall and wore a black school uniform from the outer academy. He had medium-length blue-purple hair, a refined and gentle face, and a faint but powerful aura about him.

It’s Beibei.

However, Beibei looked very dejected at the moment, with bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Ye Qing could easily figure out why he was exhibiting these symptoms; it was simply because Tang Ya had dropped out of school. The original Tang Ya had left without saying goodbye when Bei Bei and the others went to participate in the competition.

However, Tang Ya may have dropped out of school because she did not meet the requirements for entering sixth grade.

The standard for advancement to higher education in sixth grade is four rings. At the same age, it was already surprising that Tang Ya could advance to the high-level Soul Venerable Ye Qing. It would be virtually impossible for her to advance to the Soul Master level unless she used her devouring ability.

So it's highly likely that Tang Ya left without saying goodbye after spending a romantic holiday with Bei Bei, which is why Bei Bei is acting like this.

"Bei, it's been so long, why are you so diaper-prone?"

Chapter 175 Happy New Year’s Day

When Beibei looked up, she saw Ye Qing with a beaming smile, and Zhang Lexuan, who was holding his arm and looked as gentle and quiet as a young wife.

"Ye Qing, Sister Le Xuan." Bei Bei forced a smile onto her bitter face and greeted the two of them.

He was engrossed in playing dating games with Tang Ya and often went out to Shrek City with her. Except for Seagod Island, which Tang Ya was not allowed to visit, their footprints were almost everywhere in Shrek Academy.

On the few occasions when Ye Qing went out with Zhang Lexuan, she happened to run into them a few times, so Bei Bei, who already knew about Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan's relationship, wasn't surprised at all.

However, his girlfriend is now nowhere to be found, while Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan are still in love, which suddenly made the atmosphere at the scene somewhat dramatic.

"Why do you look like that? Could it be that Tang Ya failed to advance to the Soul Master level and didn't meet this year's admission standards?" Ye Qing asked.

This is called asking a question you already know the answer to.

Beibei opened her mouth, then nodded with a bitter expression: "Xiaoya's cultivation level is only level thirty-eight, which is not enough to meet the requirements for entering the sixth grade, so she has to leave the academy. She's probably already in Tiandou City by now."

"No way, you're really letting her go back?" Ye Qing was completely dumbfounded.

If you say Tang Ya ran away on her own with Bei Bei on her back, that's one thing, since she didn't know the truth and there was really nothing she could do. But you knew the truth and still let her go back to Tian Dou City alone. Didn't you know that the enemy who caused the destruction of the Tang Clan was in Tian Dou City?

“I… I can’t persuade her…” Beibei looked dejected.

"Awesome." Ye Qing gave a thumbs up.

The Holy Spirit Church's saintess will eventually return to her rightful place.

I didn't bother chatting with Emo's Beibei. A large group of second-year students in yellow school uniforms had already gathered outside the Colosseum in the distance. Watching the show was the priority.

"They went in the direction of... the Beast Fighting Zone?" Bei Bei frowned in confusion as she looked in the direction Ye Qing and the other person had left. "Today is the day of the second-year entrance exam, right? What is Ye Qing doing in the Beast Fighting Zone?"

"Speaking of which, Yuhao is also taking his entrance exam today. Alas, Xiaoya has already left. Now, Yuhao is the only Tang Sect disciple left at Shrek Academy. Since things have come to this, let's go and take a look."

Beibei shook her head, finally remembering Huo Yuhao, the Tang Sect junior brother who was neither loved by his uncle nor his grandmother. She got up and followed Ye Qing and the other person not far behind.

Ye Qing, who was walking in front, naturally noticed that Bei Bei had followed, but he didn't care much. Instead, he focused his attention on what was ahead. Even though there were crowds blocking his view, he saw two people confronting each other on the innermost side before parting on bad terms.

'Is it the bet between Huo Gua and Dai Huabin?' Ye Qing stroked his chin thoughtfully, then laughed.

It's good to have a betting game!

The fact that there was a betting game meant that Huo Gua was going to play some tricks, and if he played tricks, he would inevitably expose his gains in the far north, and Ye Qing would naturally know what he had done in the far north during his vacation.

That's what he came here to do today.

Spectators were allowed to watch the entrance exams, but basically no inner court disciples would be so idle as to watch the second-year outer court students' entrance exams. Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan's red school uniforms naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Wow, look! Red school uniforms, they're senior students from the inner academy!" Someone in the crowd spotted Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan and immediately exclaimed, their face flushed with excitement.

Upon hearing this, those who had just been watching Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin's gambling game immediately turned their attention to Ye Qing and Dai Huabin, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration.

In Shrek Academy, inner court disciples are synonymous with genius and power. Opportunities to see an inner court disciple in person are extremely rare. Ye Qing's handsome appearance has captivated a large number of naive girls, while Zhang Lexuan's gentle and quiet demeanor has made her the object of many boys' admiration.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Dai Huabin, that arrogant guy, had a face full of 'I can take his place' arrogance, but Ye Qing didn't even glance at him. Instead, she waved warmly to the children in the two classes.

"Junior students, cultivate diligently. I'll be waiting for you in the inner courtyard."

Faced with the admiring gazes of his younger schoolmates, he certainly didn't mind showing off in front of everyone. It wouldn't take much effort and would satisfy his emotional needs, so why not?

Sure enough, after Ye Qing said those words, more than a hundred people from both classes cheered loudly as they watched Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan walk into the fighting area.

"Yuhao, what do you think these two senior students from the inner academy are doing in the Beast Fighting Area? They're not here to watch our entrance exam, are they?" Xiao Xiao's face was flushed with excitement.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Huo Yuhao finally snapped out of his daze.

Already fueled by his hatred for the Duke's mansion due to the bet with Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao's thirst for power reached its peak upon seeing the radiant and captivating Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan.

'If I had their combined strength, could I take revenge on the Duke's mansion? Would no one dare to underestimate me then?'

"Probably. The Beast Fighting Area is not open to the public today; it's only for us to take the entrance exam. Unless these two senior students have other tasks in the Beast Fighting Area, they can only come to watch." Huo Yuhao forced a smile.

"Tch, they're just two inner court disciples. I'll be able to get into the inner court sooner or later." Seeing Huo Yuhao's somewhat unpleasant expression, Wang Dong frowned and said, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

Xiao Xiao opened her mouth, her expression showing some doubt: "But Wang Dong, the future is the future. Whether you can enter the inner academy in the future or not, you are only a second-year student now. They are still inner academy disciples and are stronger than you. Don't you need to maintain the proper respect for the strong?"

"A strong person?" Wang Dong snorted coldly. Back in the Haotian Sect, even Soul Douluo and Title Douluo had to treat him with utmost respect. These were just two inner court disciples.

Still reverence?

"Alright, stop being so temperamental, let's go in." Huo Yuhao tugged at Wang Dong's sleeve and pulled him into the fighting area.

Xiao Xiao sighed and silently decided that she should keep a certain distance from Wang Dong in the future. He may be handsome and have a strong background, but just because he can cause trouble doesn't mean that she can handle it.

It would be ridiculous if he ended up getting dragged into this mess one day; he could just walk away unscathed, while you became the one attracting hatred.

She's attracted to good looks, but she's not stupid.

Moreover, after a year of getting to know each other, Xiao Xiao realized that there was basically no possibility between Wang Dong and her, so maintaining a certain distance from him shouldn't be a bad thing.

Chapter 176 Best Actor Performance

As the students from both classes entered the fighting area in an orderly fashion, Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan, taking advantage of their privilege as inner court disciples, had already secured seats in the audience with the best view.

Ye Qing looked at the students from the two classes below with great interest, occasionally fixing his gaze on Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class One. Every time he saw Zhou Yi's old woman face, Ye Qing's eyes would become a little strange.

Zhang Lexuan sat quietly beside him.
