Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Guilt? Compensation? Taking sides?

Who knows? But at least I've repaid some of the resources I got from Shrek Academy. When I run out of materials for battle armor in a couple of years and have to go to the Sun Moon Empire to buy them for free, I'll get some Mingdetang specialties back. That way, I'll have repaid Shrek Academy's kindness enough.

Without that burden, there's no question of ingratitude anymore. All the debts have been repaid, and all that's left is to make Shrek my Shrek.

Don't say that repaying the debt of raising is as simple as it seems. A single immortal herb plus the soul guide technology blueprints from Mingde Hall should be enough to repay the debt. Ye Qing has been solving his own problems since his fourth soul ring. The resources Shrek Academy has used on Ye Qing are probably not even enough to exchange for a 100,000-year soul bone.

He's done everything he could, so how can he be considered an ingrate? Besides, Ye Qing didn't 'betray' Shrek Academy; he just wanted to be in charge.

"And then there's my cheap grandfather..." Ye Qing stretched after cleaning the tea set, rubbing his temples with a slight headache.

There's no need to worry about Ye Feng's stance. You can tell from the fact that Old Deng came to complain about the immortal herb that he might not be that loyal to Shrek Academy.

It's him...

Ye Qing originally wanted to give him a magical herb, since he was, after all, her grandfather.

To be honest, before Ye Qing awakened his martial soul, he really felt like he was looking at Tang Hao. Before he was six years old, Ye Feng really didn't care about him much. He probably thought that even if Ye Qing's incomplete soul was healed, it would still be weak and he wouldn't be able to awaken any powerful martial soul. This also resulted in Ye Qing not having much affection for Ye Feng.

It's hard to say how much of the reason Ye Feng tried to cure his soul problem was due to the fear of the Ye family line dying out. If Ye Qing hadn't had his own special abilities, Ye Feng would probably have just treated him as a seed-laying machine for the Ye family.

Ye Qing understood all of this.

However, he still intended to give Ye Feng a magical herb. Regardless of his motives, it is true that he did his best for Ye Qing.

There was no other way; he had to wait a few years until the hype surrounding the eight-petaled orchid had died down. This eight-petaled orchid was related to his separation from Shrek, so this plan had to be carried out.

Who knew that Ye Feng couldn't even wait a few years, and Ye Qing couldn't explain his plans to him, so he could only give him a Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma.

Interpersonal relationships.

"so troublesome……"

But he did manage to release his sixth spirit ring eventually, so he could start showing off in the Spirit Battle Tournament a little over a month later, just to release the frustration in his heart.

Chapter 180 This is truly a generous gift

While Ye Qing was stirring up trouble in the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard was not peaceful either.

First there was Xiao Xiao with twin martial souls, then Huo Yuhao with twin martial souls. Even though the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid caused a great stir, Huo Yuhao's exposed Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger second martial soul still attracted the attention of some people.

For example, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo.

It was only because of Ye Qing's presence, and because Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was not the ultimate ice, that Yan Shaozhe did not pay as much attention to him as in the original work, nor did it escalate to the point of the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

Moreover, Yan Shaozhe was originally racking his brains about what gift to give Ye Qing, but Qian Duoduo delivered himself to his door, allowing Yan Shaozhe to make a hefty profit by taking a lot of rare metals from the Soul Guidance System, as well as a set of Level 7 flying Soul Guidance Device, Soul Guidance Shield, and three invincible shields.

It was all given to Ye Qing.

All because of what Ye Qing had said to Mu En, he wanted to learn more about soul tools. Yan Shaozhe kept it in mind, so he got a bunch from Qian Duoduo and gave them to him as a gift.

I was generous on one of the rare occasions, even though it wasn't his stuff I used.

Ye Qing naturally accepted it, after all, it was what he deserved. Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had been suppressed to the point that it was barely showing, so wasn't this the reward Ye Qing deserved?

The generous gift Yan Shaozhe gave him was worth several million gold soul coins; it was truly a generous gift.

As the first month of school began, Ye Qing arrived at the Soul Arena as usual for his daily, albeit optional, team training. However, the sparring partners were not there today; instead, Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao were chatting about something.

Upon seeing Ye Qing arrive, Yan Shaozhe nodded to him: "There's only one month left until the start of the competition. You don't need to continue fighting with the sparring team for the rest of the month. Now that everyone is here, let's head to the outer academy and meet the little guys from the reserve team."

"For the next month, you will be responsible for training the young guys in the reserve team, helping them develop teamwork and enhance their combat capabilities."

The selection of the reserve team was naturally over, and it was Yan Shaozhe who personally selected them. Xuanzi was still in seclusion because he had taken the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, so only Dean Yan Shaozhe was left to take charge.

Although Yan Shaozhe is also unreliable, he is still somewhat more reliable than Xuanzi.

Instead of using a chaotic selection process, he had his core disciples form their own teams, with the winning team ultimately advancing to the final competition.

Although the final result was still the same seven people from the original story, the others accepted their defeat wholeheartedly, unlike when Xuanzi presided over the event, when almost everyone complained.

When Ye Qing and the others arrived at the outer courtyard, the reserve team members had not yet arrived, and Yan Shaozhe did not restrict them in any way, so they chatted among themselves.

"Brother Ye, are you going to help out when you teach the juniors from the Foreign Languages ​​Department later?" Chen Zifeng leaned over and asked in a low voice.

After Ye Qing revealed his 100,000-year sixth soul ring, Ma Xiaotao handed over the position of captain of the regular team to him. With two 100,000-year soul rings, he became the undisputed leader of the regular team.

Even Dai Yueheng would respectfully address Ye Qing as "Brother Ye."

After all, it's not a big deal to lower your stance a bit when you can build a good relationship with a genius like Ye Qing, especially for a duke's son like Dai Yueheng. Moreover, in this world where strength is paramount, if you can't beat someone, you have to bow down to them.

It was no big deal; none of them had any objections, and they all addressed Ye Qing as Brother Ye.

"What's wrong, Old Chen? Are you itching to get your hands dirty?" Ye Qing glanced at Chen Zifeng and asked with a forced smile.

"Want me to play with you for a bit?"

"No, no, I'm just being a know-it-all." Chen Zifeng shook his head like a rattle drum. "But I'm still looking forward to seeing how good the juniors from the Foreign Languages ​​Department are, since they'll be my teammates later."

"People are quite curious too," Gongyang Mo said, joining in the fun.

Dai Yueheng remained silent, standing thoughtfully beside the group, wondering if his foolish younger brother might be a member of the reserve team.

"No need to be curious anymore, they've already arrived." Ling Luochen said in a cool tone, looking towards the entrance of the Soul Arena.

At Ling Luochen's prompting, everyone turned their attention to the entrance.

There were seven people in total: two boys in black school uniforms, two boys and a girl in purple school uniforms, and three boys and a girl in yellow school uniforms.

Huo Yuhao and his group of seven also spotted the seven people standing in the center of the arena at a glance. They were all wearing matching red school suits, and their expressions varied, but without exception, they were all handsome men and beautiful women.

Even though Xixi's looks are relatively ordinary, she still appears pretty and charming.

"Hey Bei, we meet again." Ye Qing grinned and waved to Bei Bei, who had transformed into a melancholic handsome guy.

"Hello to all the junior students from the outer academy. I am Ye Qing, a student from the inner academy, and also the captain of this year's Shrek Seven Devils."

After Ye Qing finished introducing herself, Ma Xiaotao also gave a detached self-introduction: "Inner Courtyard, Ma Xiaotao."

“Inner Courtyard, Dai Yueheng.” Dai Yueheng’s gaze remained fixed on Huo Yuhao. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with this junior with bright eyes.

But when I think about it specifically, I can't remember anything.

Instead, Huo Yuhao, who was being stared at by Dai Yueheng, unconsciously gritted his teeth and clenched his fists slightly.

"Inner Courtyard, Gongyang Mo..."

"..."

After Ye Qing and the other six finished introducing themselves, it was the turn of the seven students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Beibei glanced speechlessly at Ye Qing, who was all smiles, before speaking softly, "Beibei, sixth-year student in the outer academy and captain of the reserve team."

"Sixth grade, Foreign Languages ​​Department, Xu Sanshi." Xu Sanshi was still the same as before. Even with Jiang Nannan right next to him, he dared to look at the three girls on the main team.

But the moment he saw Ma Xiaotao, this bastard stood at attention, his carefree face instantly filled with terror.

Before Ye Qing helped Ma Xiaotao purify the evil fire, it was Xu Sanshi who suffered the most. Ma Xiaotao violently injected him with the Phoenix Evil Fire, and every time he was suppressed, it felt like a layer of skin was being peeled off.

"Jiang Nannan, fifth grade, Foreign Languages ​​Department." Jiang Nannan, with her blonde hair and gentle voice, immediately caught Chen Zifeng's attention with her stunningly beautiful face.

"Soul Guidance Department, He Caitou." Nige makes a dazzling entrance.

"Huo Yuhao, second-year student of the Foreign Languages ​​Department."

"Wang Dong, second-year student in the School of Foreign Languages."

"Xiao Xiao, second year of the Foreign Languages ​​Department."

After the self-introductions, Ye Qing clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Dean Yan won't concern himself with what happens next, so let's have a good, exhilarating battle to strengthen our bond!"

Chapter 181 Xuanzi fails to break through the limit!

As the captain of the main team, Ye Qing naturally had to step forward to take charge.

Yan Shaozhe was slightly more reliable than Xuanzi, but not by much. After the regular team and the reserve team met, he simply ran away.

As the dean of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe was extremely busy, and he had great trust in Ye Qing and the others' Soul Master qualities and knowledge as inner court disciples.

Instructing the outer disciples is a piece of cake.

Moreover, with Ye Qing around, they were sure to win this competition. Yan Shaozhe didn't even bother to care about Ye Qing's inconsistent training schedule, and he simply let him do whatever he wanted with the reserve team training.

Then he completely relinquished control.

Of course, Ye Qing didn't plan to do anything fancy. He just wanted to stick to the traditional interleaved combat style. This interleaved style could not only cultivate the combat skills of the reserve team, but also allow the main team and the reserve team to get to know each other better.

However, with Ye Qing around, Huo Yuhao couldn't stand out on his own. Although his shared mental detection ability was bugged, it was practically useless in the face of true strength.

Ye Qing tried, but after he activated the Extreme Speed ​​Domain, Huo Yuhao's mental detection was completely useless against him. The extreme speed was beyond Huo Yuhao's ability to react. Huo Yuhao wanted to catch Ye Qing's movements within the range of his mental detection.

Ye Qing raised his hands, forming a pair of pincers: "I don't accept disciples or mounts. Brother Lao, you still have to train. Come challenge me again when your mental strength catches up with mine."

Therefore, in training matches between the regular team and the reserve team, whoever was on Ye Qing's team would win, and there's not much to say about the process.

During the training, Ye Qing noticed that Tang Xiaoxiannv's hostility towards him seemed to have lessened compared to before in the Soul Arena. After checking his ultimate talent and confirming that the Holy Light was not activated, Ye Qing still didn't know what Tang Xiaoxiannv was up to.

He didn't bother to pay attention.

Because something even more explosive has happened!

"what!!!"
