Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Although she didn't know why Ye Qing suddenly became interested in watching the entrance exam for the Foreign Languages ​​Department, Zhang Lexuan didn't care. Even though she found it quite boring, as long as Ye Qing was around, she didn't find it boring.

Wang Dong was the first to go on stage, and Dai Huabin was the second. The latter's score was unremarkable, just like in the original story—145 points. But Wang Dong's score was a bit more interesting.

Perhaps because Xiao Xiao had provoked him earlier, he was even more eager to show off this time. His fighting style was flashy and unconventional. After scoring 140 points, he gave Ye Qing a provocative look before stepping off the stage.

'Why is he looking at me like that?' Ye Qing's eyes were naturally extremely sharp, and he clearly saw Wang Dong's slightly smug expression.

Then Ye Qing's expression immediately darkened, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: 'Good heavens, you actually dared to show hostility towards me! You little rascal, you've already courted death! Even if I don't kill you, I'll make you my most prized modified creation!'

Finally, under Ye Qing's watchful gaze, Huo Yuhao approached Zhou Yi and whispered something to her.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely be the next one to take the stage.

Ye Qing sat up slightly, intending to witness the moment when the chosen one of destiny put on a show. Zhang Lexuan, who had been watching him closely, immediately noticed the change in Ye Qing's attitude and followed his gaze to Huo Yuhao, who was taking the stage.

"Qing, you seem to be quite interested in this junior?" Zhang Lexuan asked softly.

"It's alright. As you know, Beibei joined the Tang Sect. This junior brother is the only disciple of the Tang Sect besides Beibei and Tang Ya. I've met him a few times," Ye Qing said casually.

Zhang Lexuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She knew that Ye Qing's reason for paying attention to Huo Yuhao was definitely not this, but if Ye Qing didn't say it, she wouldn't ask any more questions. What she needed to know would be known sooner or later.

"I choose a 100-year-old soul beast!" Huo Yuhao, located in the center of the beast fighting area, loudly announced his assessment period.

Ye Qing didn't look at the expressions of the others, but he was surprised. Huo Yuhao's choice of a hundred-year-old soul beast meant that he still wanted to use the method in the original work to simulate the aura of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast for intimidation tactics.

But Ice Emperor is gone. Where can he find the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Could it be that with Ice Emperor already taken away, there is still a 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion willing to sacrifice itself for him?

Ye Qing continued reading, knowing that the answer would eventually be revealed.

It's pointless for him to make wild guesses here on his own.

After Huo Yuhao insisted on choosing a hundred-year-old soul beast, a hundred-year-old wind wolf darted out of the passage, baring its teeth and letting out a low growl.

Immediately afterward, under Ye Qing's gaze, a blood-red glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a terrifying, oppressive aura emanated from his body, enveloping the entire fighting arena.

Two blood-red soul rings rose from his body one after the other. The cold, bloodthirsty, and frenzied aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast immediately frightened the wind wolf in front of Huo Yuhao so much that it lay on the ground, its eyes rolled back, and it lost control of its bladder and bowels.

"Two 100,000-year soul rings?" Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"It's fake, he's a spirit-type soul master." Ye Qing said with a smile, and at the same time, he also learned what Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was.

"The aura of a 100,000-year-old Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger." Snow Empress awoke from her slumber and looked out through Ye Qing's gaze. She immediately noticed the anomaly. "It's fake. The auras of these two soul rings are completely identical. It's impossible for two soul rings to have the same aura."

“Although these two spirit rings are fake, he really does have a 100,000-year spirit ring.” Ye Qing lowered his eyes, then took Zhang Lexuan’s hand and left the Beast Fighting Area.

The answer has already been obtained, so there's no need to dwell on it any longer.

The 100,000-year-old Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger, without a greater opportunity, would basically never reach the level of ultimate ice. Moreover, Ye Qing wanted to laugh a little, because the second martial soul that Huo Yuhao obtained was completely countered by him.

In terms of attributes, Ye Qing's ice attribute is close to god-level, something Huo Yuhao can't even begin to compare to. In terms of martial soul, Ye Qing's Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, which combines light and darkness, is equivalent to a dragon god among tiger-type soul beasts, something Huo Yuhao can only worship.

A bit humorous.

Now that it's confirmed, Huo Yuhao is no longer a threat. All that's left is to see if we can find an opportunity to steal some of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's essence.

However, some minor incidents occurred afterward.

After Gong Changlong, the person in charge of the Beast Fighting Area, came out, he, who had originally questioned whether the person who released the high-age spirit ring was Du Weilun, the dean of the outer academy, stopped Ye Qing and asked him if he had released a 100,000-year spirit ring in the Beast Fighting Area.

This indirectly led to several second-year students hearing the news that Ye Qing possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, and subsequently the entire second-year class knew about it.

Ye Qing stared at Gong Changlong with dead fish eyes and replied in a flat tone, "I am of the light attribute."

The aura of the 100,000-year soul ring that was just released was clearly of the ice attribute. This jerk actually came to ask him, a light attribute soul master, if he had released any soul ring aura. Ye Qing wanted to ask him if he had wasted all his Title Douluo cultivation on dogs.

And it's a Beastmaster Archer Longsword...

The Shrek team is really hard to evaluate. When they're working, they're extremely professional, but when they're not, they all look like temporary workers.

"Now I need to figure out how to release the sixth spirit ring." After returning to Seagod Island, Ye Qing locked himself in his room and fell into deep thought.

It was definitely not an option to obtain the spirit ring, as it would expose their secret as soon as they stepped outside. However, Ye Qing quickly came up with a very good idea.

"In this way, perhaps I'll be valued even more?" Ye Qing grinned, then went to the door to hang up the "Do Not Disturb" sign before returning to his room to begin meditating.

Not only that, he also used the Holy Light to create a shield that enveloped his entire room, preventing everyone from entering, but without blocking out his aura.

"Demon Tiger, I'm counting on your cooperation this time!" Ye Qing said to the soul of the six-winged demon tiger.

The six-winged demon tiger nodded and began a new round of Oscar-worthy performances with Ye Qing.

Chapter 177 The Gradually Transforming Master and Disciple

"It's been three days already, why hasn't he come out yet?" Chen Zifeng glanced at the golden shield enveloping Ye Qing's residence and shook his head helplessly.

Normally, how the inner court disciples cultivate is their own business. Except when they need to do inspection team tasks, they are not forced to be summoned. Otherwise, the students are free to arrange their own cultivation.

But Ye Qing is not in this category. As a member of the regular team, Ye Qing has to undergo training.

The day after Ye Qing started arranging the performance, Chen Zifeng came to find him. The team was still struggling to gather enough people for training. However, seeing that Ye Qing seemed to be in seclusion, he didn't disturb him and instead came to see him every day.

Just as Chen Zifeng was about to leave, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Ye Qing's room.

"Level 60? He broke through?" Chen Zifeng turned around abruptly, looking at Ye Qing's room with a face full of surprise. "I was wondering why this kid wasn't going out or participating in training. Turns out he was about to break through!"

Got it!

After all, this is a breakthrough from a bottleneck stage. Breaking through from level 59 to level 60 means that Ye Qing can add another soul ring and become a Soul Emperor.

This also means that their team has gained another Soul Emperor, and it is Ye Qing, a super genius who can absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring and whose combat power is comparable to that of a Soul Saint!

“He was already able to defeat Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Han. If he absorbs another 100,000-year soul ring, wouldn’t he be able to beat up Soul Douluo?” Chen Zifeng smiled bitterly. Ye Qing was younger than him, but their cultivation and combat power were worlds apart.

This is so discouraging.

But then Chen Zifeng realized something was wrong.

"Something seems off about this atmosphere?" Sensing the extremely oppressive atmosphere in Ye Qing's room, Chen Zifeng frowned, then immediately ran off to call for backup. He was just a gofer; these kinds of things had to be left to professionals.

Before long, Yan Shaozhe was shaken over by Chen Zifeng.

Ye Qing's affairs are considered extremely important at Shrek Academy, let alone matters related to cultivation.

"Dean Yan, what is Junior Brother Ye doing?" Chen Zifeng asked in confusion. He could only sense that the aura in Ye Qing's room seemed to be gradually increasing, but his own soul power fluctuations did not change.

This feeling is just so incredibly strange.

Yan Shaozhe didn't speak, but his expression was very solemn, even showing a hint of barely perceptible fear.

'This feeling... Soul Ring condensation?' Yan Shaozhe was almost scared out of his wits. His aura remained unchanged, but he was emitting an aura that was gradually increasing. Wasn't this the situation that only occurred when a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast condensed its soul ring?

But Yan Shaozhe quickly realized what was going on.

Ye Qing is a genuine human being. His parents were even Yan Shaozhe's students back then, and Yan Shaozhe even came to offer his blessings the year he was born.

If Ye Qing were a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, Mu En would have discovered it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now to expose it. Moreover, his previous soul rings were all obtained through hunting, so there is far too much evidence to prove that Ye Qing is human.

Regardless, Yan Shaozhe decided to deal with Chen Zifeng first.

"It's alright, you can go back now. I'll take care of things here." Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, signaling Chen Zifeng to leave, while he stood still, then looked at the golden tree and bowed slightly.

"Teacher, we need you to come and take a look at my junior brother's situation."

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Mu En walked out of the space with his cane and looked up slightly at Ye Qing's small building in front of him.

His first thought, like Yan Shaozhe's, was that Ye Qing was a transformed soul beast, but he quickly dismissed this idea and instead recalled another extremely secret history.

"Shao Zhe, do you still remember the Divine Examination?" Mu En asked in a hoarse voice.

“Of course.” Yan Shaozhe nodded. “Ancient books record that a divine position can only be obtained through inheritance, and the process of inheriting a divine position is called the divine test. The ancestors of the Seven Monsters all became gods in this way.”

"Divine test, divine test..." Yan Shaozhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Ye Qing's dormitory with a face full of fervor. "Teacher, do you mean... Junior Brother has passed the divine test and is now absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring?"

With Mu En's guidance, Yan Shaozhe quickly came up with something through the divine test.

That is a divinely bestowed soul ring.

According to records, the only way to obtain a soul ring besides hunting soul beasts or transforming into a soul beast is through divine bestowal.

Since Ye Qing's soul ring was not obtained through hunting, and he himself is not a transformed soul beast, the only remaining answer is that it was a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Under normal circumstances, even if Mu En and Yan Shaozhe had the wildest imaginations, they wouldn't be able to come up with the idea of ​​a divinely bestowed soul ring in a short time. However, Ye Qing had recently visited a treasure land called "Qiankun Wenqing Valley" and obtained two immortal herbs from it.

According to Ye Qing's description, there is even a manipulator in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

In this way, wouldn't it prove that Qiankun Wenqing Valley is most likely the place where gods pass on their inheritance, and that Ye Qing has gained the favor of the gods?

After all, Ye Qing is the most outstanding genius in Shrek Academy's history of ten thousand years. Mu En and Yan Shaozhe were not surprised at all that he could pass the Divine Test!

“That’s right. According to my guess, what Ye Qing is doing now is absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring.” Mu En looked at the room where Ye Qing was shrouded in a shield with a complicated expression. Then he waved his hand and covered up the pressure emanating from Ye Qing’s room.

Moon's feelings were indeed very complicated.

Ye Qing, as his disciple, actually kept such an important matter from him. He was completely unaware of Ye Qing's success in the Divine Trial. It was only through deduction that he learned the answer after Ye Qing absorbed the divinely bestowed soul ring.

But when he thought about how the eight-petaled fairy orchid that Ye Qing had given him had been divided up by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion without even his knowledge, Mu En's expression became somewhat gloomy.

Yes, several days have passed since the feast was divided up, and Xuanzi has already eaten the eight-petaled fairy orchid. Ye Qing doesn't even know about it yet.

Ye Feng originally intended to say something, but after obtaining the ninth-grade purple fungus, he was so overjoyed that he completely forgot.

In this case, it might not be a bad thing if Ye Qing didn't say it.

Moon is numb.
