Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

The last person who could absorb spirit rings beyond the limit was Ye Qing. In the eyes of the old guard at Shrek Academy, Ye Qing did not have any ultimate attributes at the beginning. It was only by absorbing high-quality, high-limit spirit rings that he developed his ultimate attributes.

After Huo Yuhao demonstrated such talent, they all agreed that Huo Yuhao was very likely to become the second Ye Qing.

No, he might be even stronger than Ye Qing.

After all, Ye Qing doesn't possess 'twin martial souls'.

If Huo Yuhao's second martial soul were cultivated into the ultimate ice, with his talent for twin martial souls, he might very well surpass Ye Qing and become an even more powerful soul master!

It doesn't matter if the first spirit's spirit ring age can't keep up, since it's a mental attribute anyway and can't be improved to the extreme. But the second spirit can! In their view, if they can cultivate a Ye Qing with an extreme attribute, they can cultivate a second Huo Yuhao with an extreme attribute!

Therefore, after Huo Yuhao absorbed his third spirit ring, the overconfident old guys at Shrek Academy shifted their focus of training to Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, the Sea God Pavilion unanimously recommended Yan Shaozhe, the eloquent and highly respected Dean of Shrek Academy, to do ideological work with Huo Yuhao.

Ye Qing rebelled. Not only did he conceal his ability to heal Mu En's injuries from them, but he also left without saying goodbye and even attempted to sever ties with Shrek Academy.

One lesson like this is enough; Huo Yuhao must be firmly tied to Shrek Academy!

Chapter 229 A Mess

The old men of the Sea God Pavilion are skilled at vying for power and profit, so they are naturally top-notch at playing mind games.

Ye Qing did not try to hide his actions, and anyone who was interested could easily figure out what his actions meant.

The reason why the old men haven't taken any drastic actions yet is all because of Moon. Ye Qing's master-disciple relationship with Moon means that he is still a member of Shrek Academy. And in front of Moon, who has recovered to his peak, they don't dare to do anything underhanded.

There's no doubt that they're dissatisfied.

Their answer was to cultivate Huo Yuhao. They were very dissatisfied with Ye Qing, who had become too independent, so they wanted to cultivate a more talented child to replace Ye Qing.

He has great potential and a promising future; more importantly, he is obedient!

As for Moon?

What else can he do but lie down and sunbathe and watch? He really thinks that extreme attributes can be achieved by absorbing soul rings? That's just too naive.

If the strength of the martial soul itself does not meet the requirements, even if you are killed by the soul-absorbing ring, you will not be able to transform your own attributes to the extreme. This kind of problem is easy to understand even with a knee. Otherwise, why have there only been three extreme attributes except for Ye Qing over the past ten thousand years?

Why don't you take another look at him, Mu En?

With two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red spirit rings, isn't that awesome? With the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul, isn't that powerful? With a level 99 cultivation limit, isn't that superb? Now look at him, has Mu En transformed into the Ultimate Light yet?

Ye Qing's Holy Tiger of Light was originally a mutation, and he grew up bathed in the radiance of the Golden Tree and drinking tea made from Golden Tree leaves. Mu En was not surprised that he was able to transform to the extreme, because the essence of his mutated martial soul was strong enough.

Huo Yuhao's Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger...?

Moon's assessment was: there is hope, but not much; even if he succeeds, he will be far less successful than Ye Qing.

However, he did not stop the elders' actions. There was no need. He was a retired old man, why should he worry about those things all day? Moreover, after this incident, Moon even began to somewhat agree with Ye Qing's decision to cut ties with Shrek Academy.

Such a Shrek Academy is indeed a burden and a constraint for Ye Qing. If his disciple aspires to become a god, cutting ties with Shrek Academy would be the best choice.

He was bound to Shrek Academy out of responsibility, because there was nothing he could do. From the time of Yu Xiaogang, their lineage had been branded with Shrek's mark, and it was impossible to completely sever ties with them.

As long as he has this affection for Shrek Academy, Ye Qing will not watch it perish. That's enough. As long as the name Shrek Academy exists, Mu En will have lived up to the responsibility he bears.

As for the rest, the weary old man had no desire to get involved anymore.

Really tired.

After regaining his health, Moon wanted to live for himself for the remaining ten or twenty years of his life.

……

Huo Yuhao, who became the target of a power struggle among Shrek Academy's higher-ups, was unaware of the inside story. He thought that his talent had finally been recognized by Shrek Academy's higher-ups and was overjoyed.

As Shrek Academy's leadership began to allocate more resources to him, Huo Yuhao's recognition of Shrek Academy grew stronger. With Zhou Yifan and Yu by his side, and Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo above him, he began to regard Shrek Academy as his home.

At the Treasure Pavilion, he even used his red-level privileges to take a top-tier ice-attribute left arm soul bone, greatly enhancing his combat abilities.

It was as if he had become a winner in life overnight.

However, Huo Yuhao noticed that his roommate Wang Dong seemed to have changed. Although he used to be arrogant and aloof, he was still very easy to get along with when he was with people he knew well.

But since the competition ended not long ago, Wang Dong has become taciturn. It's no longer the same attitude he used to have—looking down on those around him and unwilling to communicate with others. Instead, it's a feeling of absent-mindedness, as if he doesn't care about anything anymore.

She even distanced herself from her roommate Huo Yuhao, and began to slowly resist contact with him.

Huo Yuhao was completely baffled.

He once asked Wang Dong if something had happened after he was abducted by the Grim Reaper that caused his personality to change, but Wang Dong just shook his head, denying the guess, and did not give an answer.

Huo Yuhao was at a loss as to why Wang Dong was so unresponsive. After several attempts to reason with him were met with indifference, he became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.

Damn it, I didn't do anything to you, so why are you giving me attitude and acting like a spoiled brat again? Did I owe you something or what?

Then the two started giving each other the cold shoulder. Of course, this was a one-sided cold war by Huo Yuhao. Wang Dong remained indifferent to everything and immersed himself in his own world.

Why is this happening?

Ultimately, it was Ye Qing's doing. Tang San cut off the soul too ruthlessly, severing half of it completely. He didn't want Wang Dong's true identity to know about him, wanting to use his most innocent side to trap the chosen one of destiny. At the same time, he wanted Wang Dong to always maintain unconditional obedience to him, so that his own daughter wouldn't turn into one of those three clowns—Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena—who were love-struck and betrayed him.

Therefore, in Wang Dong's heart, the image of this person whom she worshipped, revered, and obeyed unconditionally was very vague. Only when she was sewn into Tang Wutong would this image become Tang San.

The problem arises here.

Ye Qing's Holy Light effect was too damn overpowered. Coupled with his eight wings and temperament that resembled Tang San's, it instantly twisted the image in Wang Dong's mind into Ye Qing's appearance.

Since the competition ended, Wang Dong has been racking his brains trying to figure out why he had such an irresistible feeling for Ye Qing, and why Ye Qing's image was so deeply etched in his heart.

At first, she thought Ye Qing had used some kind of trick to interfere with her mind, but after thinking about the mark between her eyebrows, that thought vanished.

It's nothing more than trust. As long as this mark is there, no one can interfere with his mind, not even Ye Qing.

So the image of Ye Qing in his mind wasn't the other party's methods, but rather his own...thoughts?

Wang Dong was startled.

He's handsome, strong, can cook, gentle, and has almost no flaws... but... hmm? Thinking about it this way, could it be that I've fallen for him?

Wang Dong, who was constantly engaged in internal struggles with himself, had no time to care about Huo Yuhao and the others, which led to the current stalemate.

In this world, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao do not have a spirit fusion skill, so the so-called shadow of the Goddess of Light is naturally gone. The dog leash hadn't even been properly put on before it went on strike.

Immediately afterwards, a wealthy young lady with an extravagant and generous personality also made her move!

In an instant, the outer courtyard was thrown into complete chaos.

Chapter 230 A Young Man's Dilemma with a Rich Woman

At this point in time, who in the entire Shrek Academy is most qualified to be called a "little rich girl"?

the answer is--

Ning Tian, ​​the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

To reiterate, Tang San is not human; his own power on the Douluo Continent is thriving. On the surface, he has Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, and in the shadows, he has the hidden sect Haotian Sect and the Chen family, the Sea God family that received a portion of the Sea God's blessing from him.

Some might think it's inappropriate to blame Shrek Academy on Tang San's subordinates, but Shrek Academy was indeed collecting faith for Tang San, right? And all the Sea God Pavilion Masters throughout history sacrificed themselves to the Golden Tree to help Ah Yin seize the Source of Life, right?

Although the Sea God Pavilion Masters who made the sacrifices were unaware of the implications of their actions, it is a fact that they unwittingly became Tang San's allies.

Moreover, the highest-ranking group in Shrek Academy has already been called the Sea God Pavilion. Is there any problem with attributing this force to Tang San?

That's incredibly reasonable.

In contrast, consider the strength of the other Shrek Seven Devils.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun did not establish any power. Ma Hongjun even had a descendant named Ma Xiaotao because Bai Chenxiang failed to ascend. However, Ma Xiaotao was affected by a succubus and never married, which caused the lineage to be broken. Oscar, on the other hand, never had any lineage.

The other three are Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who are nobles of Xingluo. The Baihu lineage has fallen into decline and abdicated, becoming dukes. The Zhu family has always been a vassal of the Dai family, barely surviving.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was even worse off; all they got was the title of Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and nothing else, making their lives increasingly difficult.

Now even the young sect leader, Ning Tian, ​​has to personally go out and snag a rich man. In order to revitalize the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, these people have always been unscrupulous. The young sect leader's marriage is nothing compared to this.

Seeing Tang San, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, gaining more and more influence on the continent, while their own Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which clearly had two god ancestors who were also the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, was now struggling to even pass on their legacy.

Therefore, the current sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School simply sent Ning Tian to Shrek Academy, hoping to find a piece of the pie there.

Ning Tian has a particularly keen eye.

Actually, before Shrek Academy had even planned to focus on cultivating Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian had already set her sights on him. Originally, Ning Tian's target was Ye Qing, but from her perspective, it was basically impossible for her to lure Ye Qing, a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

So she set her sights on another unremarkable person, Huo Yuhao.

Ning Tian was also a core disciple and participated in the reserve team selection competition. Although Huo Yuhao's performance was unremarkable when he officially participated in the competition and he didn't even make a move, his performance in the selection competition was still outstanding.

Especially twin martial souls.

After the selection competition ended, Ning Tian began to get closer to Huo Yuhao intentionally or unintentionally. At first, he just created chance encounters and greeted him a few times, and naturally they gradually became familiar with each other.

Ning Tian was an expert in fishing, and after only a few encounters, she had a basic understanding of Huo Yuhao's personality.

She is somewhat sensitive and insecure, and harbors fantasies about certain aspects of life.

In conclusion: If he's not exceptionally talented, then he's just a complete loser.

This version of Huo Yuhao didn't actually meet Ning Tian's criteria for a partner. Her ideal match was someone like Ye Qing, a spirited and admired genius. But Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, perfectly fit the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's standards because he was easy to control!

If you just pay a little attention to him, Huo Yuhao will come running over eagerly.

Ning Tian, ​​who was getting to know Huo Yuhao better, immediately noticed the change in his cultivation resources. Her heart tightened slightly. She didn't know what had happened or why Shrek Academy had suddenly started to focus on cultivating Huo Yuhao.
