Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Of course, in general, if such a large-scale conflict of forces occurs in the city, the city defense army will definitely try to stop it to avoid affecting and harming other people in the city.

But the Tang Clan is different.

The Iron Blood Sect, which attacked the Tang Clan, had communicated with the city lord of Tiandou City several months ago and reached an agreement. Without the city lord's approval, how could the Iron Blood Sect have so easily dealt with the Tang Clan?

The reason why the city lord of Tiandou City nodded was quite simple.

There are only two words: taxation.

Because the Avalanche Emperor promised the Tang Clan a lot of beneficial regulations, one of which was to permanently exempt the Tang Clan from taxes. This included not only land taxes, but all of the Tang Clan's activities in Tian Dou City would be exempt from taxes.

The Tang Sect can even exploit loopholes in certain regulations to leech off the Heaven Dou City.

More importantly, they've done this kind of thing quite often, especially after the Tang Clan declined and their lives became increasingly difficult, mostly relying on sucking the blood of the Heavenly Dou City to survive.

Tang Sect: Without our ancestor Tang San, your Heaven Dou Empire would have been destroyed by the Spirit Hall. Our ancestor saved you, so what's wrong with you offering us some benefits now?

Which city lord could tolerate these hooligans?

Now that the Iron Blood Sect has stepped forward as a pioneer, the city lord of Tiandou City couldn't be happier and immediately opened the door for them.

This way, we can both use others to kill the Tang Clan thugs and ensure that we can get this portion of tax revenue from the Iron Blood Sect in the future, killing two birds with one stone.

Neither the Iron Blood Sect nor the City Lord's Mansion discovered the little girl who had escaped from the Tang Sect.

Tangya.

"Xiaoya, run!"

"Xiaoya, live on!"

"Xiaoya, you must rebuild the Tang Clan!"

"It's all up to you..."

With a heart full of hatred, Tang Ya headed towards Shrek Academy.

Interestingly, the Tang Clan's massacre occurred a full year earlier than the original timeline.

……

When Ye Qing saw Bei Bei again, he was accompanied by a timid little girl with blue hair. Although she was only about ten years old, as a Soul Master, she looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Although she looked somewhat disheveled, it couldn't hide the girl's beautiful figure and her delicate, blossoming face.

Well, apart from not wearing a ponytail, Tang Ya is not much different from what Ye Qing imagined.

Sigh, this little brother has indeed been bound by the Dragon-Binding Rope.

Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.

You've already become so strong, and even Zhang Lexuan couldn't shake your unwavering determination to cultivate. So why can't you control yourself when you see the Dragon Binding Rope?

Wait, something seems off...

Ye Qing frowned, keenly sensing that Tang Ya seemed to possess a subtle yet captivating charm that could effortlessly stir people's hearts. Even he himself felt an irresistible urge to look at Tang Ya.

If he didn't possess the ultimate talent of light and darkness, and had similar abilities, he wouldn't have been able to perceive this strange feeling.

"Holy crap, something's up!" Ye Qingju's eyes tightened, and she quickly looked away.

Sure enough, when Tang Ya disappeared from his sight, the feeling that tugged at his heartstrings weakened considerably. Most people might have been unable to resist looking at Tang Ya again because of this feeling, just like Bei Bei, who was now bound by the Dragon Binding Rope.

But Ye Qing, who was already on guard, naturally wouldn't fall for it.

"Okay, okay, I see."

He said that Zhang Lexuan smelled so good and had always been by Beibei's side. Beibei even said, "Sister Lexuan, when you grow up, will you marry me?" So how could she be so infatuated with Tang Ya later on?

Sure enough, that scoundrel already had his tricks up his sleeve.

'But the Tang Clan is, after all, my creation. How can I bear to watch it disappear like this?'

These were said by that scoundrel himself. It's perfectly normal and reasonable for him to use some tricks to get a few people to help him rebuild the Tang Clan.

"Damn it, I was just relegated to the outer courtyard and I've already run into this mess." Ye Qing cursed inwardly, realizing for the first time how difficult the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect dungeon was.

Chapter 47 Registration, Prestige

Normally, with the God of Destruction watching over him, Tang San during the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of Tang San should have been hiding in the God Realm and developing steadily.

Ye Qing had been trapped in this misconception for a long time, and even after nearly ten years in this world, he had never faced Tang San's methods directly, still thinking that Tang San couldn't really do much.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll realize that this thing is pure nonsense.

Did Tang San interfere with the Douluo Continent openly and secretly during his time in the Peerless Tang Sect?

First, he had Dai Mubai pull Huo Yun'er's soul up from the underworld to revive her. Then, he used the power of the Sea God to create a 100% compatible martial soul fusion skill between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, whose martial souls were completely unrelated.

Then came the auspicious beast incident, the ice and fire Yin-Yang Well incident, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley incident, the Tang Wutong stitching incident, the chastity lock sealing incident, and even the agreement he secretly reached with Ju Zi.

"I warned you never to reveal this secret." This was Tang San's explicit statement to Ju Zi, proving that he had met with Ju Zi and even threatened her before Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Yunhan was his son.

So many cases have long proven that Tang San made numerous plans for the Douluo Continent right under the nose of the God of Destruction.

Now, having another little trick up one's sleeve to deal with Tang Ya is perfectly normal.

Those are just the methods that are on the surface and not written in the plot. Apart from Tang San, probably no one knows how many more unrevealed conspiracies there are. This is the real world, not the original novel that follows the script exactly.

Tang San, this newly born Dongxi, is a living, breathing old man. If he senses anything amiss, he might make other arrangements at any time.

After figuring these things out, Ye Qing couldn't help but turn pale.

Great, the difficulty of the dungeon has increased again.

Fortunately, Tang Ya has Bei Bei to help him draw the BOSS's aggro. After the two of them confirm their relationship, this pitfall will probably no longer be in front of Ye Qing.

"Let's take it one step at a time," was all Ye Qing could say.

After glancing back at Bei Bei, who was showing concern for Tang Ya, Ye Qing twitched his lips, quickly moved far away, and went to the registration desk. He then placed his recommendation letter, which bore the red Shrek badge of the inner academy, in front of the senior student registering the students.

As members of Shrek Academy, Ye Qing and Bei Bei didn't need to get recommendation letters from the main city to enroll in the outer academy. They could simply ask their mentor, Old Deng, to get them a recommendation letter for the inner academy of Shrek Academy, which would be more effective than any recommendation letter from the main city.

The senior student, who was struggling to earn credits by helping register students' information, was immediately filled with respect upon seeing this red Shrek logo.

Before accepting this task, they consulted their respective teachers about the different forms of recommendation letters among the major empires to avoid anyone trying to cheat their way through, since it wasn't unheard of for someone to have tried to exploit loopholes before.

And the recommendation letters, which were unique to the inner court, were the focus of their attention.

If the recommendation letter bears the red Shrek badge, it means that the person was either recommended by a current student in the Inner Academy or is a descendant of a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.

Both of them commanded his utmost respect.

After all, this is the inner courtyard.

"Hello junior, the recommendation letter is correct. Here is your dormitory key. The class assignment information will be released in a week. You can find out which class you've been assigned to by going to the bulletin board at Poseidon Square then." The senior in the purple school uniform explained earnestly, and handed over a set of keys.

There was a small tag hanging on the key, and the number on the tag was 234.

The number for this dormitory room is quite auspicious.

"Junior, this dormitory is one of the better ones on the second floor, with a good location and facilities." Seeing Ye Qing looking at the tag on the key with curiosity, the senior in purple first glanced around discreetly, then explained in a low voice.

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully: "I see. Then thank you for your kindness, senior. My name is Ye Qing, and I am very happy to meet you."

The senior in purple chuckled and shook hands with Ye Qing's outstretched hand: "Haha, it's all an arrangement by the academy! My name is Li Zhiyi. If you have any trouble in the outer academy, you can come find me!"

"Then please take good care of me, Senior Li."

"Let's look out for each other, haha..."

……

"That's quite interesting." As Ye Qing walked towards the dormitory building, he recalled Li Zhiyi's words and a smile appeared on his lips.

Just as he had guessed, after four thousand years of development, Shrek Academy's outer courtyard had long since changed its nature, basically becoming a place for gilding and making friends, much like the Moon Pavilion that Tang Yuehua created ten thousand years ago.

Even their essence is similar.

Yuexuan only accepts disciples from noble families. As for the outer academy, given that it requires a recommendation letter from the main city, it is virtually impossible for commoners to obtain it, except for noble disciples.

Aside from a few good city lords who genuinely care about the people and are willing to discover geniuses among the commoners and send them to Shrek Academy for training, how many commoners can successfully obtain a recommendation letter from the main city?

Oh no, judging from the situation during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, without the Spirit Hall allowing free Spirit Awakening across the entire continent, it's a different story whether ordinary people can even awaken their Spirits.

Therefore, those who can enter the Foreign Languages ​​Department all have some kind of background. It is more like a platform for gilding one's resume and exchanging ideas than a college. The higher-ups at Shrek Academy don't really pay much attention to the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Unless a genius truly emerges in the outer academy, enough to alarm them.

Mu En and Ye Feng probably chose to send Ye Qing to study at the outer academy with this in mind. They have already groomed Ye Qing to be the future leader of Shrek Academy, so he naturally cannot be too aloof.

To build your own team and advance from the outer academy to the inner academy, you must achieve high enough results in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament and accumulate enough prestige.

Just like Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan was more than six years older than Ye Qing and Bei Bei. At this time, she was seventeen years old, but her soul power level had reached level sixty-one, and she had already entered the inner academy based on her own strength.

This year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament was led by Zhang Lexuan as the team captain to participate in the Douling Empire.

Without Huo Yuhao causing trouble, the Soul Emperor was already a top player in the Soul Battle Tournament. With six Soul King teammates, the Shrek team could basically sweep aside other teams and become the final champion.

It was through these gradual accumulations that Zhang Lexuan eventually became the respected senior sister of everyone in the inner courtyard.

If Ye Qing wants to accumulate enough prestige, he must also build his reputation step by step, just like Zhang Lexuan. The outer academy is where his fame began.
