Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

I am Chao, the Supreme Elder!

No, the Supreme Elder should be me, Nightmare Douluo. This should be Xuanzi, the Gluttonous Douluo, a double agent of both the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy.

"Having cultivated for half a lifetime, I have finally reached my limit." Xuanzi's tone was tinged with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or regret).

The elders who had just flown into the air and were about to congratulate Xuanzi on his breakthrough were stunned, their faces blank and speechless.

If you weren't such a glutton who only knows how to eat, drink, and poop all day long, your martial spirit strength would have reached its limit long ago.

My family is numb.

Mu En was also there, but he didn't say anything. He just glanced at Xuan Zi, left a sentence, and then left.

“Now that Xuanzi has broken through his limit, let Xuanzi take over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master. I am tired and need to rest well in the future.”

He didn't care whether the other elders agreed or not. Anyway, since the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid incident, Mu En had completely stopped caring about the affairs of Shrek Academy. Whether he passed on the position of Sea God Pavilion Master or not, it made no difference.

Once the news gets out, it means the burden has truly been lifted.

Moon was already thinking about how he would spend his retirement. While envisioning his retirement, he also missed his most talented and outstanding disciple.

Ye Qing.

"That little guy has been gone for three or four years. I wonder how he's doing now. He hasn't even come back to visit this old man." Moon shook his head with a wry smile.

The others looked at the spot where Moon had disappeared, opened their mouths as if to say something to persuade him to stay, but in the end they didn't say anything more.

Yan Shaozhe and the other elders of Mu En's faction understood very well how tired Mu En had been these past few years. Now that Shrek Academy had another person to take the lead, it was actually a good thing for Mu En to be able to take off his burden and rest.

Besides, Moon has only stepped down as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, not left Shrek Academy. They can still ask Moon if there's anything they're unsure about.

The only difference is that the person in charge of the Sea God Pavilion has changed from Mu En to Xuan Zi.

As for Xuanzi...

He bowed deeply in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion and said firmly, "Don't worry, Elder Mu, I will fulfill my responsibilities as the head of the Sea God Pavilion."

Xuanzi still respected Mu En. He formed cliques simply because he was too eager to improve and break through his limits. This did not mean that he did not respect Mu En, his senior uncle.

If it weren't for his inability to break through his limits, Mu En would have long wanted to pass on the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to him. However, Xuan Zi himself was not ambitious enough and was not cut out to be a hermit, so it has been delayed until now.

This incident is one of the biggest events that have happened at Shrek Academy in recent years.

The first is that Mu En's injuries have healed, and he has returned to his peak condition, while his lifespan has been extended. The second is that Xuan Zi has broken through his limits and taken over the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

However, only the higher-ups at Shrek Academy know about these things. No one is qualified to know about this unless they have reached a certain level of cultivation or have a close relationship with the higher-ups at Shrek Academy.

The news that Xuanzi had broken through his limits and become the master of the Sea God Pavilion gradually became known to the high-ranking officials of the other four great empires.

Shrek Academy remains the number one academy on the continent.

Chapter 266 Shrek Academy's Two Limits

When Ye Qing returned to Shrek Academy, the outer courtyard was still in session.

Since breaking through to the Soul Master level and gaining some self-protection ability, Ye Qing has become increasingly indifferent to attending classes.

Perhaps ordinary geniuses can learn how to better cultivate their martial souls and enhance their combat skills under the tutelage of Shrek Academy, thus becoming the Shrek elites in the eyes of other soul masters.

But for Ye Qing, Shrek Academy was just a platform for his stable development in the early stages. The help that Shrek Academy provided was something that many other forces could offer.

He only stayed at Shrek Academy because he transmigrated and became a Celestial Dragon.

Returning to the academy, Ye Qing didn't feel like he was returning home in glory, or rather, he didn't have the concept of a hometown at all. All he had done was to become stronger and to fight against the biggest force behind Douluo Continent.

If he hadn't wanted to come back to participate in the Sea God's Fate event, to eat some melons and show off, he would probably have already returned to the Sun Moon Empire and started forging his soul armor with the help of the Holy Spirit Cult's resources.

The existence of Lilith represents the success of the Soul Ring and Soul Bone Pattern, and also verifies the conjecture that the core magic array is equivalent to the Soul Ring skill. Ye Qing now only needs to think about how to divide a large magic array into thirteen parts and inscribe them on different parts of the Soul Armor.

After the inscription is completed, the soul armor parts need to be connected to form a large-scale amplification soul skill, amplifying the soul master himself and completing the initial creation of the battle armor.

The first step is to create the battle armor, and the second step is to try to connect and form the soul bone armor, so that the soul bones in the whole body can resonate and fuse to form the second piece of the soul armor puzzle.

The final and most important step is to fuse the battle armor with the soul bone armor, making them a single unit and ultimately completing the soul armor.

Of course, Ye Qing, who had been busy for several years, did want to relax.

We'll talk about developing the Soul Armor after the Sea God's Fate event ends.

Hopefully, he can get it before the Mingdu Soul Fighting Tournament starts. It's overpowered equipment for the third playthrough. If he gets it during the second playthrough of the Soul Fighting Tournament, Ye Qing doesn't even dare to imagine how many eyeballs would fall out of the eyes of those Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire.

The number of eyeballs that fell out could probably cause a downpour, right?

Ye Qing walked around the campus with a smile on her face and a relaxed expression.

These days, there are definitely no acquaintances of his in the outer courtyard, and probably not many people would recognize him. So it would be better to go directly into the inner courtyard and see if there are any acquaintances he can show off to.

He first went to the freshman dormitory building to see if a Limit Douluo had randomly spawned downstairs.

But after Mu En recovered from his injuries, he didn't seem to be as keen on sunbathing, so Ye Qing didn't find Mu En downstairs in the freshman dormitory building.

Instead, he encountered Ye Qing's former homeroom teacher.

"Ye... Ye Qing?" Xue Cai's mouth opened slightly as she tentatively called out.

"Oh, it's Teacher Xue!" Ye Qing waved and greeted her.

Years have passed, and Xue Cai remains the same as before—a gentle and cheerful older sister who has hardly changed. She was Ye Qing's homeroom teacher for three or four years, so Ye Qing naturally remembers her.

On the contrary, Ye Qing received too many opportunities after entering the inner courtyard, which made his figure, height and appearance even more perfect and impeccable.

If Xue Cai hadn't had such a deep impression of this genius student, she wouldn't have dared to recognize that the person in front of her was Ye Qing.

"It's been years, and you've gotten even more handsome! Back then, you captivated a whole bunch of female students from the outer academy. Now, do you get confessions every single day?" Xue Cai smiled, her tone slightly teasing.

She hadn't forgotten that back then, every time she went to class, there was a pile of love letters almost as high as her calves next to Ye Qing's desk, and girls would always get distracted by looking at him during class.

As the homeroom teacher, she was quite helpless.

She wanted to reprimand the distracted female students, but she also felt that someone as outstanding as Ye Qing would probably be deeply attracted to her if she were still young. Since she herself couldn't do it, how could she reprimand these students?

In the end, we could only pretend we didn't see it.

"Teacher Xue, you're mistaken." Ye Qing shrugged. "I've been busy cultivating these past few years and haven't had time to spread my charm. How could anyone find me?"

"Busy cultivating?" Xue Cai's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "Would you mind revealing your cultivation level? Have you reached the Soul Saint realm?"

Five years ago, Ye Qing's cultivation level was already at the fifth ring. Now that five years have passed, according to Ye Qing, he has been busy cultivating these past few years, so he must be at least a Soul Saint by now, right?

A Soul Saint under the age of twenty!

But Ye Qing didn't say it outright, instead smiling mysteriously: "You'll know my current cultivation level in a few days."

Xue Cai nodded knowingly.

She has been teaching at Shrek Academy for over ten years and is quite familiar with all of Shrek Academy's activities. Ye Qing said she would find out in a few days, which is nothing more than the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event in eight days.

That's interesting.

"Okay, I'll come to see your performance. Don't disappoint me." Xue Cai blinked and left with a big smile.

She still had to go to class, otherwise she would have liked to chat a bit more with this student she hadn't seen for years. Moreover, Xue Cai had a guess in her mind: Ye Qing hadn't directly admitted that he was a Soul Saint, so did that mean...?

He's already a Contra player?

If it were anyone else, Xue Cai certainly wouldn't dare to make such a bold guess, but this person is Ye Qing, and whatever happens to him is reasonable.

After all, the fifth spirit ring takes 100,000 years!

Xue Cai couldn't wait to see how Ye Qing, with eight rings, would rampage through the Sea God's Fate.

"Goodbye, teacher." Ye Qing smiled and took off after Xue Cai left, flying towards Seagod Island.

He built an ice palace on the last Poseidon Island. Should he build one on this Poseidon Island as well?

Forget it, let's not provoke those old fogies. Although Ye Qing isn't afraid now, Dong Qianqiu and Lilith are enough for him to rampage across the entire Douluo Continent, there's a ghost in the Golden Tree.

It wouldn't be fun if we attracted the ghosts.

"As for now... let's go see Old Deng first, and give him the soul bone we got from Di Tian back then, so he won't forget about it again in a few days." Ye Qing twirled the storage ring on his finger, and then flashed into the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard.

As he stood on the ground, a figure appeared on both his left and right sides.

“You’re back.” Moon smiled and nodded at him.

"Good lad, I almost didn't detect your presence. You truly are a little monster who's been outrageous since childhood." Xuanzi clicked his tongue and looked at Ye Qing with the eyes of someone looking at a ghost.

Shrek Academy, two Limit Douluo.

Chapter 267 Some brothers, yes!

"Teacher, Elder Xuan." Ye Qing greeted the two with a smile.

Xuanzi looked Ye Qing up and down, his surprised eyes filled with a hint of seriousness: "Young Ye, what is your cultivation level now? Why can I even feel a strong sense of threat from you?"

As long as you advance to the Limit Douluo level, you will receive the legendary "One Strike of the Other," which means that no matter how well the opponent hides, the Limit Douluo will be able to sense the threat from the shadows.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao developed PTSD because of Long Xiaoyao's ability as the Limit Douluo.

Xuanzi wasn't lying. If he hadn't sensed an inexplicable sense of threat in the academy, he wouldn't have even been able to detect Ye Qing's presence.

Truly, this is the worst possible performance ever...

"I was lucky to reach the Eighth Ring Road." Ye Qing flicked the corner of his clothes; it was just a little bit of weathering, nothing to mention.
