Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Even after living at Shrek Academy for six or seven years, Ye Qing still found it difficult to shake off his prejudice against the school from the original story. Consequently, he remained wary of Shrek and everyone at Shrek.

"Since you don't like Shrek like this, then wait until you become stronger in the future and transform Shrek into the kind of Shrek you like."

Ye Qing quickly immersed himself in meditation and recovered his soul power.

Chapter 35 The Target: A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring

Ye Qing was cultivating on a tree branch, while Bei Bei in the Sea God Pavilion was also awakened from her coma by a ray of bright soul power from Mu En.

As soon as he woke up, Beibei instinctively covered the back of his head. The intense pain still lingered, making him feel a little dizzy.

"Ye Qing, you have no sportsmanship, you actually launched a sneak attack!" Bei Bei muttered under her breath while rubbing her head.

"No one greets you during a battle; if you lose, you lose." Moon smiled helplessly.

Hearing Moon's words, Beibei finally realized that he was in the Sea God Pavilion. He looked at Moon and said defiantly, "So what if I lost? I don't believe I will always lose to him. One day I will surpass him!"

If this happened to a college student, they would probably just give up after being beaten like that.

But Beibei is still at an age where he's headstrong, and what Moon worried about didn't happen; he still has a strong fighting spirit.

"Hehe, that's right. As long as you persevere, success will eventually come." Moon smiled gently and patted Beibei's head.

"You two are both unparalleled geniuses. Take Ye Qing as your role model. Even if you can't catch up with him in the end, when you look back, you will have already set yourself apart from other people your age."

"Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is losing the motivation to move forward after failure and stopping there."

In Douluo Continent, eight years old is already quite old. Bei Bei understood the gist of Mu En's words and nodded firmly in front of him: "I understand, Ancestor. I will not give up. You must also have faith in me. We are both born with full soul power. I am no worse than Ye Qing!"

Even with innate full soul power, there are differences...

Moon sighed inwardly, but maintained an encouraging smile on his face.

……

Despite the feeling of helplessness after being instantly defeated by Ye Qing, Bei Bei did not succumb to despair. He firmly kept his promise to Mu En and began cultivating with an even more diligent attitude than before.

In order to catch up with Ye Qing, he gave up almost all his leisure time and devoted himself to cultivation.

With the abundant resources of Shrek Academy, the gap in soul power between Ye Qing and Bei Bei is indeed gradually narrowing.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Leaving aside the fact that Ye Qing, unlike Bei Bei, doesn't have all his time to cultivate, just considering the external soul bone of the Wings of Light on his body, the Light-Breaking Demon Right Arm Bone that is slowly increasing in age, and the light spirit that accompanies him, they are all major consumers of soul power.

Even though he still has no shortage of resources, his cultivation speed is definitely not as fast as before.

Ye Qing felt as if he had entered the soul power compression stage after level 30 ahead of time. Although the soul power in his body was becoming stronger every day, it took a long time for his level to increase by one level.

Really helpless.

Two years later.

At the age of ten, Beibei successfully advanced from level twenty-two to level thirty with a cultivation speed of one level every three months.

Ye Qing was a bit slower, taking almost five months to advance one level. Originally, his cultivation level was three levels higher than Bei Bei's, but he broke through to the Soul Venerable stage almost at the same time as Bei Bei.

Beibei reached level one at three months old.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, takes more than four months, almost five months, to advance one level.

Besides the three powerful entities that consume his soul power, Ye Qing's inability to focus on cultivation like Bei Bei is also a major reason, and perhaps the existence of dual extreme attributes is also a factor.

Having only one ultimate attribute will greatly slow down your cultivation speed. Who knows if cultivating two ultimate attributes will be even more difficult?

There has never been a person with dual extreme attributes in history, and Ye Qing doesn't even have a single example to refer to.

Of course, the slow pace of cultivation brings improvements in other areas.

A year ago, Mu En approved Ye Qing's entry into the Fear Dragon Training Chamber to hone his mental strength. After a year and a half of various training, his mental strength was already extremely close to that of a Soul King, and ordinary training methods were no longer useful.

That's why I directly converted it into the more effective Fear Dragon Training Room.

As for why Ye Qing wasn't sent to the Fear Dragon Training Chamber from the beginning, the reason is quite simple.

The training room, composed of 1,001 skulls of the Fear Demon, was so mentally oppressive that no child who had not yet grown up could withstand it. Forget about training it; it might even turn him into an idiot from the mental shock.

It was only when Ye Qing's spiritual power approached the Soul King level that Mu En allowed him to enter the Fear Demon Dragon Training Chamber.

In addition to training his mental strength under the mental pressure of the Fear Dragon every day, Ye Qing also uses many treasures to enhance his mental strength in conjunction with his training.

In a full year, Ye Qing's mental strength went from near the Soul King level to the level of an ordinary Soul Emperor. This rate of increase left Mu En speechless. After testing his physical strength, the final conclusion was...

Ye Qing's third spirit ring is enough to absorb a spirit ring of 20,000 years.

This lifespan is even two thousand years longer than the sixth soul ring of an ordinary Soul Emperor. The limit for a Soul Emperor is only a twenty-thousand-year soul ring.

And this is only Ye Qing's third soul ring.

"What kind of monster have we raised?" This was the common question in the minds of all the elders in the Sea God Pavilion.

Is it really possible for a Soul Master to have such a high Soul Ring ratio, exceeding the standard?

A normal Soul Master can absorb at most one thousand-year Soul Ring as their third Soul Ring, but Ye Qing's third Soul Ring age is more than twenty times that of an ordinary Soul Master.

In contrast, consider Beibei.

Although he had also reached the Soul Master level, and his second soul ring was a purple thousand-year soul ring, after testing, his third soul ring could only withstand a maximum of about four thousand years.

Compared to Ye Qing's 22,000 years, it is indeed insignificant.

"Elder Mu, what kind of spirit beast should Qing'er choose for her third spirit ring?" Ye Feng asked Mu En respectfully in the Sea God Pavilion.

When it comes to cultivating Soul Masters with the Light attribute, Ye Feng can't even come close to Mu En. When it comes to Soul Ring combinations, asking Mu En is definitely the right thing to do.

But Mu En was also pondering this question at the moment, because there were really not many top-level soul beasts with the light attribute. Ye Qing's first two soul rings were taken from the light unicorn and the light elf, respectively, both of which were soul beasts with top-level light attribute bloodlines.

His third spirit ring naturally couldn't be inferior to the previous two spirit beasts.

It can't be too far off.

Moreover, Ye Qing already has enough support abilities; what he lacks most now is a powerful attack soul skill specifically for offensive soul masters. As a result, the number of soul beasts he can choose from is even smaller.

After much deliberation, Moon finally focused his attention on a particular figure.

"I'll choose this for my third spirit ring!"

Chapter 36 Soul Ring Acquired

Ye Qing's light attribute has reached its limit, and adding another light attribute soul ring now would not be very beneficial. There are very few light attribute soul beasts that can reach the top level of bloodline.

Moon's meaning was quite clear.

As the king of the forest, the tiger needs to be strong in close combat in addition to elemental attacks. Furthermore, Ye Qing has the skill "Holy Light Shuttle," making it difficult for him to create distance. Therefore, enhancing his close combat ability is also very necessary.

Just like the White Tiger Martial Soul inherited by the Xingluo Dai family, their clan are all born warriors.

"For Qing'er's third soul ring, let's choose a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. This time, I will personally hunt a soul beast for Qing'er!" Mu En said in a deep voice.

In terms of close combat ability, apart from True Dragon Soul Beasts, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stands out. And since it is unknown how many True Dragon Soul Beasts are in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is definitely easier to find than True Dragon Soul Beasts.

As for the light attribute spirit ring, once Ye Qing's physical strength reaches the required level, directly absorbing a 100,000-year light attribute spirit ring would yield much greater benefits than absorbing one now.

Mu En had high expectations for Ye Qing and didn't want him to have any shortcomings.

Choosing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for the third spirit ring is just right. Whether it's gaining the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's terrifying attack power or its defensive amplification ability, it can greatly enhance Ye Qing's close combat ability.

The ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is basically able to go toe-to-toe with ordinary Title Douluo. Although it will eventually be killed by the Title Douluo, its last stand is still fierce.

For this reason, Moon decided to take action himself.

He hadn't made a move in a long time, but for the sake of this disciple who had reached the pinnacle, Mu En didn't mind going out for a walk.

"Elder Mu, you..." Ye Feng's tone was half joy and half worry.

Although no one in the Sea God Pavilion knew the specifics of Mu En's physical condition or how much longer he could live, everyone knew that Mu En was seriously injured and would soon die.

While Ye Feng was happy to have Mu En, a powerful expert, help Ye Qing hunt for spirit rings, he was also worried about Mu En's health.

"It's alright, the old man can still move around a bit." Mu En saw Ye Feng's worry and waved his hand with a smile.

If we don't start moving around now, our health will deteriorate in a couple of years, and then we won't be able to walk at all...

And this is indeed the case.

When an ordinary person is seriously ill, the closer they get to the end of their life, the more difficult it becomes for them to move around, and eventually even lifting their hand becomes difficult.

Mu En is the same. In the past few years, his soul has not been completely destroyed by the dragon pill's malevolent energy, and he can still go fishing with Ye Qing. In a few more years, he will basically not want to do anything except sunbathe.

When Ye Qing learned that it was actually Mu En who had taken him to hunt for spirit rings, he was quite surprised.

But Moon didn't give him much time to think. Ye Qing felt a sudden dizziness, and the scenery in front of him changed from Shrek Academy to a forest.

It would probably only take... a few breaths?

The spatial power of Limit Douluo...

Seeing Ye Qing's shocked expression, Mu En simply smiled and didn't explain the idea behind this ability to him. Ye Qing hadn't even obtained his third spirit ring yet, and was still far from becoming a Limit Douluo. Telling him this now would only add unnecessary distractions and make him overly ambitious.

Next, Mu En showed Ye Qing what a Limit Douluo was like.

The vast Starry Sky Forest was like a backyard garden to Mu En. Every time he lifted his foot and landed, he would be in a new location. With a sweep of his mental energy, he could examine an entire area.

It's almost impossible for a normal Soul Hunting team to encounter a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but Moon found three Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears in just one hour.
