Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Chapter 48 The Domain of the Speedster

In the following days, the Foreign Languages ​​Department became extremely lively.

The time when Shrek Academy recruits students each year is the busiest time in Shrek City, with thousands of first-year students being enrolled each year.

Add to that the crowds of people who wanted to catch a glimpse of Shrek and come for sightseeing and excitement, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire outer courtyard was packed with people.

This is why Shrek Academy asks its students to help out; the teachers alone simply can't handle the workload.

However, Ye Qing didn't care much about how lively the outer academy was. After all, he had lived in Shrek Academy for almost ten years, and he had come to see the outer academy's admissions process in previous years.

To put it bluntly, it's just that kind of thing.

Compared to the noisy outside world, Ye Qing preferred to cultivate in the quiet dormitory.

Just like Li Zhiyi said, dormitory 234 is indeed very nice. After seeing the other dormitories, you can clearly feel that this dormitory has a larger space and a better environment.

Outside the window is a row of lush osmanthus trees; one can only imagine how fragrant this room will be when the osmanthus blossoms.

Moreover, the location is very sunny with plenty of light, making it a great place for a light-attribute soul master like Ye Qing.

Looking further afield, you can also see the shimmering Poseidon Lake.

Although the room facilities are all the same, standard Shrek-style frugality, besides two hard beds, there are only two medium-sized wardrobes and a table, and there is a bathroom without hot water on the balcony.

Ok……

Ye Qing commented that even the dormitories for employees who worked 996 hours a day in his previous life, like the ones who were just fixing screws, were better than this.

unbelievable.

However, Ye Qing didn't care much. As a light-attribute soul master, manipulating soul power to make his light generate heat was already a basic skill. Although it wasn't as convenient as for fire-attribute soul masters, heating water was still no problem.

Having access to the toilet and the ability to heat up cold water yourself means you don't have to go to the public bathhouse with other people or fight over the toilet with a bunch of others.

The conditions were a bit tough, but cultivation is the same everywhere.

Ye Qing could only sigh and then clean the dormitory first.

"Second Soul Skill, Holy Light Shuttle!" Ye Qing shouted, and three soul rings lit up on his body. Then, he transformed into a streak of light, holding a broom and moving around the dormitory like a god of war.

Countless afterimages flickered in the dormitory as Ye Qing casually swung the broom, sweeping away all the dust in the dormitory at extreme speed, eventually forming a small pile of trash at the doorway.

Ten seconds later, all the afterimages disappeared at the same time, and Ye Qing's true form appeared at the doorway.

After he stopped, his body swayed almost imperceptibly, and his face appeared somewhat pale.

"Hmm~ Not bad!" Looking at the small pile of dust in front of him, Ye Qing put down the broom with satisfaction.

As early as when he obtained the Soul Skill "Holy Light Shuttle", Ye Qing had thought of using the inertia of extreme speed to launch an attack.

At that time, however, his control over this soul skill was still relatively weak. He could only move in a straight line, and once he turned a corner, he would easily lose control, causing his direction to deviate.

This kind of rough control is definitely not good. Anyone can accelerate on a straight line, but being fast on a curve is what really matters.

From then on, Ye Qing had one more training goal: to accurately master the speed and angle of the Holy Light Shuttle so that he could perfectly control this skill.

He first accelerated at a straight-line speed, and then gradually sensed the changes in his soul skill during the movement. He went from not actively controlling it at the beginning, to subtle control, small-amplitude control, normal control, and complete control, gradually increasing his proficiency.

If he had just acquired this soul skill, he would never have allowed himself to move freely in the small dormitory room. He would have stepped on the gas and flown away long ago. How could he be leisurely strolling around while cleaning the room?

However, this perspective of a speedster actually made Ye Qing feel like he had transformed into 'Quicksilver' and 'The Flash'. In the realm of speedsters, it seemed that everything he saw was still.

However, truly entering the realm of speedsters requires an immense drain on mental energy.

His brain is not yet able to handle such a large influx of information.

Unlike true speedsters who slow down everything around them, making walking in the extreme speed realm indistinguishable from normal walking, Ye Qing accelerated himself. Everything around him remained the same; only he moved faster.

To keep your nerve reflexes up to the body’s maximum speed, how can you not consume a lot of mental energy?

Therefore, the longer he stays in the high-speed state, the greater the consumption of his mental energy. Receiving that massive amount of information can easily drain his mental energy.

This is equivalent to the difference between zero time and an instant in the world of a certain unorthodox university.

Cleaning the room took less than ten seconds, and Ye Qing's mental energy was already depleted. The Holy Light Shuttle did not consume much soul power, and could even be described as negligible.

However, this kind of extreme control and speed-enhancing soul skill, which allows one's senses to keep up with the changes around them, consumes a terrifying amount of mental energy.

"It still isn't lasting enough..." Feeling the dizziness constantly coming from his mind, Ye Qing shook his head helplessly.

The meticulous work of opening up his meridians was already constantly training his mental strength, making it comparable to that of a high-level Soul Emperor, but it still couldn't withstand such consumption.

The good news is that since Ye Qing can control the Holy Light Shuttle skill to this extent, he can now try to reduce his speed and use the 'Locomotive Crash'.

"The power is too great. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill someone or even kill myself. I'll wait until I have another chance to try it in the future."

After cleaning the dormitory, Ye Qing suppressed the dizziness of a mental emptiness in his mind, made his bed, and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

His mental energy could only recover slowly, and with his mental energy depleted, Ye Qing was unable to perform the meticulous work of opening up his meridians.

Now that things have come to this, let’s practice first.

The hidden meridians that have already been developed also need to be nurtured occasionally, otherwise they cannot be used for soul power cultivation. If they are not cared for normally, they will eventually block up on their own.

Ye Qing's slightly rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and he fell into a meditative state.

It wasn't until the sun was almost setting that the slight sound of the door opening startled Ye Qing from his meditative state. Thanks to Ye Feng's previous training in sneak attacks, which could only be described as thuggish, Ye Qing always maintained a certain level of vigilance.

The sound of the door opening wasn't loud, but it was enough to wake him up.

"Who?"

"Huh? Ye Qing?" The dormitory door opened, and Bei Bei's bewildered face appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

Beibei looked at Ye Qing with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at her dormitory key and dormitory room number.

"Dormitory 234, that's right!" Bei Bei scratched her head, a smile appearing on her face. "I didn't expect we'd be such a coincidence, being assigned to the same dormitory!"

Is that a coincidence?

Not necessarily...

They're all from the inner courtyard, and even the format of their recommendation letters is pretty much the same. As long as you encounter someone named Li Zhiyi, it's normal for them to arrange a good room for you because you're from the inner courtyard.

After all, that guy is quite good at judging people based on their abilities.

While it's quite a coincidence that we were assigned to the same dorm room, it's not something that's too surprising.

"Why are you so late?" Ye Qing asked.

When this topic was brought up, an unnatural look appeared on Beibei's otherwise refined face, which anyone who wasn't blind could see.

He's shy!

Ye Qing's eyes widened slightly. To be honest, even after knowing Bei Bei for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen such an expression on Bei Bei's face.

Outrageous!

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bei Bei was a little embarrassed and angry at Ye Qing's strange expression.

"What do you think? I saw you fawning over a girl from afar. What's wrong, are you smitten?" Ye Qing shrugged. "You don't think I didn't see it, do you? I'm just curious why it takes you so long to pick up a girl. You're only getting back to the dorm now."

"You...you saw everything?!" Beibei blinked, feeling embarrassed as if her secret had been exposed.

To be honest, Beibei didn't know why, but the moment she saw that girl, she was captivated, feeling that the girl's entire being was attracting her.

Her delicate fragility, travel-worn appearance; the allure of her every smile and gesture; the captivating fragrance of her hair; and her…

Well, I can't say anymore, or it'll get censored.

Anyway, Beibei wasn't exactly serious either.

As a teenage boy in puberty (?), it's normal for Beibei to feel attracted to beautiful girls his own age. But Beibei, this girl is no pushover...

Seeing Bei Bei's amused expression towards Chu Nan, Ye Qing knew that he had definitely been tricked.

The Ultimate Dragon-Binding Rope SSR version.

However, what does this have to do with Ye Qing? If he goes up and tells Bei Bei about this now, it might offend him and make him think that he has ulterior motives towards Tang Ya and wants to steal his girlfriend.

Ye Qing was too lazy to do something so thankless and exhausting.

His relationship with Beibei wasn't close enough to be life-or-death, so Beibei can do whatever she wants.

"As a friend, I wish you happiness." Ye Qing could only reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

Put aside your desire to help others and embrace a life of immorality!

"I feel like I've met my true love!" Encouraged by Ye Qing, Bei Bei opened up a lot and said with a look of longing, "I feel like she's the one destined for me. She attracts me from head to toe!"

"Ugh~" Ye Qing swallowed hard, suppressing the nausea churning in his stomach, and said against his conscience, "Ah, yes, yes, I trust your judgment!"

"You should pack your things first. It's getting late, I need to go eat."

To prevent Beibei from continuing to torment herself, Ye Qing chose to apply oil to the soles of her feet to moisturize them immediately.

Everyone says Douluo Continent is all about romance, but Bei Bei's behavior has completely shattered Ye Qing's preconceived notions about love in the series. This is practically a love triangle! And then there's Huo Yuhao, who's been leashed like a dog his whole life... this kind of love...

What the hell am I going to do?

"Hey, aren't you going to wait for me?" Beibei raised Erkang's hand, but only caught a glimpse of Ye Qing's fleeting back.

"Fine, if you don't want to wait for me, then don't wait for me. I need to hurry up and get my dorm ready. Maybe I'll run into Xiaoya at the cafeteria later~" Beibei had a very 'happy' smile on her face, and then she quickly started packing her things.
