Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

She also possessed a level eight close-range soul tool, namely the Azure Flame Dragon Spear crafted by Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu.

However, from the perspective of soul guidance technology, the Azure Flame Dragon Spear was not even as refined as the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade that Dai Yueheng bought. It was only because Shrek Academy was rich and powerful that they used a large amount of top-grade rare metals to achieve the effect of "great strength and flying bricks".

In reality, the Azure Dragon Spear is far inferior to the Sword of Judgment in every aspect, and this is only the difference in terms of close-range soul tools.

The gaps in other areas will only widen and increase.

While Xian Lin'er was amazed by Ye Qing's turnaround, even considering him Shrek Academy's greatest genius in ten thousand years, the real reason for her appearance was the Sword of Judgment.

If things were just turning around, she could wait until the competition was over before going back to the academy to discuss it slowly.

But not the Sword of Judgment; she couldn't wait to get it.

"Oh." Ye Qing simply nodded, then tossed the Sword of Judgment to her. "Here you go. This sword will belong to your Soul Guidance Department from now on."

"Huh?" Xian Lin'er was stunned. She looked up at Ye Qing, who had no expression on his face, and was not sure what he was thinking for a moment.

"You really gave it to me?"

"Okay, here you go." Ye Qing nodded, then stood up and left the conference room, leaving the Sword of Judgment on the table.

It wasn't until Ye Qing left and the door closed that Xian Lin'er came to her senses. She quickly put the Sword of Judgment into her soul tool, her expression showing a hint of joy.

"Truly worthy of being Elder Mu's disciple, Junior Brother's strategic vision is truly admirable," Xian Lin'er said with admiration. "No wonder he possesses the attribute of ultimate light; even if Yan Shaozhe had another hundred years, he still wouldn't be able to learn this kind of character!"

……

"A Martial Soul system has an eight-petaled fairy orchid, and a Soul Guidance system has a sword of judgment." After leaving the conference room, Ye Qing went to the top floor alone, ordered a cocktail, and looked at the night view.

Are his things so easy to take?

There's no such thing as a free lunch; every gift comes with a hidden price. This was true of the resources and treatment Ye Qing received at Shrek Academy, and it's true of what he's giving back to Shrek now.

Although Ye Qing was reluctant to part with this big toy, to be honest, the Sword of Judgment could only be used as a toy, far less useful than his Eternal Spear. If he wanted to use a sword, he could just use Ice Extreme Unparalleled.

Since Xianlin'er wants it... let's just give it to her.

"The hype surrounding the Immortal Herb has died down considerably. After the competition ends, I'll get Old Deng a good one, and then we can go have some fun at the Holy Spirit Cult." Ye Qing took a sip of wine, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

When he was competing in the revival tournament, he only knew that he would travel to Douluo Continent, but he did not know that he would travel to Peerless Tang Sect.

In what situations should a revival match be played?

It's either the stage where Tang San jumped off the cliff, or the stage where Tang San was reborn after fighting five battles. Ye Qing originally thought he was going to the Spirit Hall era, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The Spirit Hall era is not like the Douluo Continent era, where as long as your spirit has a bit of evil, you are defined as an evil spirit master.

Since he was already there, Ye Qing had no way to travel back in time, so he could only settle down at Shrek Academy.

He silently kept track of every single resource Shrek used.

Now, his rewards far exceed the resources he used back then. He obtained the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone himself, and he also intercepted the Life Gold. With his talent, he could have received training from any faction that was no less than that from Shrek Academy.

It's nothing more than... investing.

White-eyed wolf?

Ye Qing doesn't consider herself an ingrate.

If Shrek Academy were truly treated as an academy, and the Eight-Petaled Orchid and the Sword of Judgment were the tuition fees he paid, there would naturally be fewer arguments.

That's an astronomical tuition fee.

However, there's still a bit of an explanation needed regarding Mu En and Ye Feng. Ye Feng is easy to talk to; Ye Qing originally intended to give him a single immortal herb, but he was too impatient and insisted on coming to him only after Mu En had already told him that he only had two immortal herbs.

In that situation, he had no way to take it out and could only use an eight-petaled orchid as a temporary substitute.

Given Ye Feng's age, would there be any difference between taking it a few years earlier or a few years later?

But it doesn't matter anymore. Since we're already planning to run away, we have the ability to protect ourselves and the ability to disguise ourselves. After giving Ye Feng a stalk of the immortal herb, no one can find him even if he leaves, so there's no need to worry about being forced.

With this competition over, he can leave Shrek Academy with a clear conscience and do what he wants. Whether he obtains his seventh spirit ring, causes trouble in the Holy Spirit Cult, or works on spirit armor with Ilex in the Sun Moon Empire, it's all up to him.

"Old Yi, you should remember my teacher, right?" After taking another sip of wine, Ye Qing used his mental power to establish a connection with Electrox in the Eye of Life.

“I remember, what is it?” Electrox asked.

"My teacher was once injured in a battle. Although he won the battle and his opponent died shortly afterward, he himself suffered irreversible injuries," Ye Qing explained slowly.

"His spine was broken, and he was originally going to die, but he had a Dragon Pill. With the help of the Dragon Pill, he broke through to level ninety-nine, but he was entangled by the malevolent energy in the Dragon Pill, and his soul is now riddled with holes."

"In this situation, if I were to separate a portion of the Gold of Life and integrate it into his body, would it be possible to heal his body and extend his lifespan?"

Electrolux remained silent for a while, pondering the possibility of this approach, before finally replying, "According to you, it's basically impossible. Damage to the soul cannot be healed by the Gold of Life. A broken spine can be reconnected under the influence of life force, but a soul severely injured by malevolent energy cannot be repaired."

"Is that so..." Ye Qing sighed.

Sure enough, Huo Yuhao in the original novel had tried it. The Life Gold could only temporarily fill Mu En's body, but like Tang Ya, who was rescued from the Holy Spirit Cult, Mu En's body would become like a sieve, unable to retain any life force.

Ye Qing originally wanted to repay Mu En's kindness in this way, after all, it was a life-saving grace, no less than Mu En's kindness in recognizing his talent.

such a pity……

“But then again,” Electrolux changed the subject, giving Ye Qing a surprise.

"Huh?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and almost spilled the wine.

“Others may not be able to help, but you are different. It is possible for you to heal your teacher,” Electrolux said with a slight smile, his words enigmatic.

Ye Qing's eyes lit up.

"Elaborate."

Chapter 209 The Grand Finals, Against Xingluo

"There really is a way to cure him?" Ye Qing's eyes widened.

“No, it can’t be cured, or rather, it can’t be completely cured.” Electrox denied it outright. “Simply using the Gold of Life is useless; it can only alleviate the symptoms. But your Light and Holy attributes can purify the malevolent energy. In that case, his biggest problem will naturally be solved.”

"Of course, after clearing away the malevolent energy, drawing on a portion of the power of the living metal might have a chance to heal his spine, but the damage to his soul is irreversible. If I were still in my prime, I could try to repair his soul, but you can see my current condition."

"I see..." Ye Qing nodded thoughtfully. "So, if I use the Gold of Life in conjunction with my abilities, it's possible to extend my teacher's life for a while, right?"

“Yes, conservatively speaking, it could extend his life by ten to twenty years, and he will no longer suffer from the pain of old injuries,” Electrolux said.

"There's no way to make it any longer. His soul can only last so long; physical health alone isn't enough to keep him alive."

enough.

Being able to extend Moon's life by a few years and spare him from the torment of the Dragon Core's malevolent energy is a way of repaying him for nurturing me.

Ye Qing no longer owes Shrek Academy any debt, but Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy, and Mu En is Mu En. Shrek Academy may not be grateful to Mu En, but Ye Qing should be grateful to him.

Moreover, following Electrolux's method, Ye Qing wouldn't even need to separate the Life Gold. He only needed Electrolux's help to extract a drop of liquid life essence from the solid Life Gold, and with his ultimate attribute, he could heal Mu En.

It wasn't a huge loss for him.

If we think about it further, there's a high probability that Mu En will give him the Dragon Pill. If we don't act now, once Mu En really falls, we won't even have a place to repay him.

……

Two days later.

It was still a gloomy, overcast day, with a few drops of light rain falling from the sky from time to time, but Xingluo Square was still packed with people.

There's no other reason than that today is the final match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, a royal showdown between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy. Even though it might rain heavily today, the audience still came here without hesitation.

Due to the large number of spectators, umbrellas were not allowed in the stands; as far as the eye could see, there were colorful raincoats everywhere, and the crowd was bustling with people.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, both teams entered their respective rest areas, awaiting the arrival of the finals.

Since she had already shown herself when she asked Ye Qing for the Sword of Judgment, Xian Lin'er no longer hid in the shadows pretending to be a hero. Instead, she sat with Ye Qing and the others in the rest area to witness Shrek Academy's reign as champion once again.

"Brother Ye Zi, Princess Jiu Jiu has been watching you the whole time. Could it be that you two..." Xu Sanshi's focus was still so unique. Everyone else was preparing for battle with serious expressions, but he was the only one paying attention to the beautiful woman, and he immediately noticed that Xu Jiu Jiu was staring at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing glanced at the kid, speechless: "Looks like you're pretty free. Since you're so relaxed, then you can stay offstage and watch the beauties. Xiao Xiao, you'll replace Xu Sanshi in the team battle later, any problem?"

"Huh? Me?" Xiao Xiao pointed to herself, then glanced at Xu Sanshi, her little face full of hesitation.

This is the final! It would be a lie to say she didn't want to go on stage. Even just showing her face and winning without lifting a finger would be a great honor!

Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically. He slid to Ye Qing and grabbed his leg, saying, "Brother Ye, I was wrong. I've begged you to let me go!"

"Heh, too late!" Ye Qing sneered. "It's the finals and you're still joking around? Then you can stay down there and have your fun!"

Xu Sanshi's face turned ashen, and he didn't laugh.

"Uh, Brother Yezi," Dai Yueheng leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Our team roster has already been submitted, and there's no way to change it at the last minute..."

"...Is that so?" Ye Qing was slightly taken aback.

He really didn't know that this happened.

Dai Yueheng nodded silently.

Xu Sanshi felt he was doing well again, hehe.

"Alright, don't make a move during the team battle later. Let this grinning, unserious guy get a beating first and experience the wickedness of the Soul Master world!" Ye Qing waved his hand. He wasn't taking revenge on Xu Sanshi for staring at him with a lewd look for so long.

He just wanted to correct this lewd sycophant, that's all!

"Sure, I have no objection!" Xu Sanshi's smile immediately shifted to Bei Bei's face. "This lickspittle should have been dealt with a long time ago. Ye Qing did a great job!"

"I have no objection either." Ma Xiaotao nodded calmly. She would never go against Ye Qing's arrangements; this was an essential quality of a qualified roast chicken.

“No objection.” Dai Yueheng raised his hand in agreement.

"I don't have any objection either!"
