Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

……

After the freshman assessment ended, Ye Qing unsurprisingly became a core disciple and, as a powerful attack-type Soul Master, became the class monitor of Class 1 after the class division.

Just like every year.

Of the thousand new students in this cohort, only one-third remained, and they were divided into three classes.

The offensive and control types are in Class 1.

The agility-based and defense-based classes are in Class Two.

The support and food departments are in Class 3.

The unwanted trash is in the fourth class's hodgepodge.

Beibei, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan all became Ye Qing's classmates. However, the first two were busy dating, and Ye Qing was not interested in her. So, there were no major incidents in the days that followed.

Time passes day by day.

Aside from occasionally giving the lazybones in the class a little challenge and establishing his authority as class monitor during the Soul Fighting course, Ye Qing spent the rest of his time either cultivating or opening up hidden meridians.

So he didn't even notice that Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi were entangled together again.

What a fated match!

Is this the bond between Nan and Lei?! (Tears welling up)

The uneventful eight months came to a slow end, and Ye Qing welcomed her first vacation after starting school.

The more you open up the hidden meridians, the more troublesome it becomes. In these eight months, Ye Qing only took six months to completely open up the hidden meridians in his left arm, and his soul power level rose to level forty.

But the hidden veins in his legs that followed proved to be a major challenge for him.

The meridians in the thighs are inherently more complex than those in the arms, and Ye Qing's legs do not have any attached soul bones. This means that he can only explore inch by inch with his spiritual power and soul power to find those hidden meridians that have not been developed.

This process is like trying to straighten out a completely tangled ball of yarn; someone with less patience would probably have burned out long ago.

Ye Qing also had a touch of red warmth.

He originally thought that since it had taken nine months for the hidden meridians in his left arm to heal, the hidden meridians in his legs would probably be in the same condition. But it turned out that he was too young.

After two whole months, the development of the hidden meridian in the right leg was less than one-fifth of the way through the entire leg. Although some of this time was spent searching for the meridian because he didn't know its location, the speed was still outrageously slow.

"Since things have come to this, let's break through first," Ye Qing sighed.

This time, Ye Qing didn't plan to let Ye Feng obtain the soul ring for him; he planned to hunt for souls himself.

The hidden meridians in his left and right arms were fully opened, which greatly increased his physical strength. Normally, after a Soul Emperor absorbs a 20,000-year Soul Ring for his sixth Soul Ring, he can absorb a 30,000 to 50,000-year Soul Ring for his seventh Soul Ring.

However, Ye Qing's fourth soul ring has a lifespan of at least 70,000 years.

Besides the extremely high base stats of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul, the boost brought about by the opening of the hidden meridians also played a significant role.

That's why people from the Body Sect absorb spirit rings that are always beyond the limit.

Developing one's own potential provides an extremely high boost to a Soul Master, especially for cultivators in the Soul Master system who have high attack and low defense and cannot even regenerate severed limbs. Developing one's physical potential is far more effective than cultivation systems in other worlds.

If the Light of Demon Breaker hadn't grown, Ye Qing definitely wouldn't have dared to acquire a spirit ring himself. A 70,000-year-old spirit beast is already equivalent to a Soul Master with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo; how could a Soul Venerable like him dare to mess with it?

In those eight months, Ye Qing not only mastered the Eight-Point Light Wheel, but also created the Failure Humiliation Ray.

With the speedster's domain that allows him to traverse through holy light, he can use the eight-part light wheel to attack the eyes and throat of a soul beast, making it possible to kill a 70,000-year-old soul beast single-handedly.

The saying that soul power level doesn't represent everything couldn't be more fitting for Ye Qing.

His combat strength is far beyond what can be measured by his rank.

After the holiday, Ye Qing returned to Seagod Island, asked Ye Feng for 500,000 gold soul coins, and then packed his bags and left Shrek Academy. Don't ask how Ye Feng agreed, because Bei Bei and Tang Ya also went out for their honeymoon.

Since Bei Bei has run away, Ye Qing, who is stronger than Bei Bei, will naturally not face any obstacles.

However, Old Deng secretly assigned Ye Qing a Soul Saint as a bodyguard to protect him, but Ye Qing then vanished without a trace with a single Holy Light dash.

LOL, what good is a Soul Saint? He can't even smell Ye Zi's exhaust fumes.

Then Ye Qing went off to have some fun.

The first stop was not directly to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest, but rather headed towards Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire. Ye Qing had long coveted the Soul Devouring Carving Blade.

Now that I've finally escaped Shrek Academy, of course I have to get my hands on this amazing item as soon as possible!

After fusing with the metal of life, one can not only become an invincible cockroach, but also have a lifespan greatly increased, even without becoming a god, one can have a lifespan of ten thousand years!

Ye Qing desperately needs this.

Chapter 60 Using the alias Ye Xuan

After leaving Shrek City, Ye Qing sped along the direction of Star Luo City and landed in a secluded spot.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Ye Qing instantly withdrew the aura of light from his body, and instead, an extremely dark and evil aura surged from the depths of his body, with the two forms of light and darkness constantly switching on his body.

The deep black color spread from the roots of his hair, eventually turning his full head of platinum blonde hair into a deep black, with only the strand of black hair on his forehead turning gold.

Just by looking at this hairstyle, it looks exactly like Di Tian's. Di Tian also has black hair and a strand of golden hair on his forehead.

After the transformation was completed, a phantom image of a giant tiger quietly flashed behind Ye Qing. The tiger had no patterns on its body, its fur was deep black, it had a pair of black wings growing on its back, and its tail was curled up like a scorpion's tail.

What is most striking about it is its pair of scarlet eyes.

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and his originally azure blue eyes turned into a scarlet color like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"This transformation was so much faster?" Ye Qing looked at his hands, which were now several shades lighter than before, with some surprise. He then took out a mirror and looked at his appearance. His original bright and dignified demeanor had become quite sinister, and his eyes and brows carried a hint of arrogance.

The Pure and Innocent Dark Version!

When Ye Qing was testing the conversion before, he hadn't even obtained his first soul ring yet. That conversion took him a full hour, and the back-and-forth conversion took two hours. In addition, the testing time took another hour.

So after that, Ye Qing never tried to change his form at Shrek Academy, because it would be too easy to be exposed.

It wasn't until several years later that Ye Qing, wanting to cause trouble, activated his demonic possession state, transforming himself into another person.

This conversion took only five minutes.

"Could it be that as my cultivation level increases, the conversion time will become shorter and shorter, until eventually I can make a seamless conversion, even merging light and darkness, and uniting good and evil?" Ye Qing couldn't help but think of this.

His own Holy Radiance Celestial Tiger was originally the light side of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its various attributes were divided into two forms, probably so that he could better withstand its power.

It's important to know that the strength of a martial soul that a soul master can withstand is limited. Normally, the strongest martial soul a soul master can awaken innately is the Holy Dragon level martial soul.

That is, people like Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

Even the ultimate martial soul is something that a normal soul master cannot withstand.

The original work once said that the three Soul Masters with the ultimate attributes in history also had descendants, and the descendants did indeed inherit their Martial Souls, but their strength was greatly reduced, and they directly lost their original ultimate attributes.

Ye Qing's ability to possess a dual-form martial soul that combines ultimate holiness and ultimate evil from the very beginning has already reached the limit that he can withstand at his age.

At that time, he had not yet obtained a spirit ring, and his physical strength was pitifully low. If he wanted to convert his extreme attribute into another completely opposite attribute without harming himself, he could only spend a lot of time slowly converting it.

Now things are different. His fourth spirit ring can even withstand a 70,000-year spirit ring, and his body's ability to withstand attributes has greatly improved, so the conversion speed is naturally faster.

Once he becomes stronger, seamlessly switching forms, or even fusing the two forms, is not a pipe dream, but a foreseeable future.

Ye Qing needs to grow, and so does his martial soul. Each time he acquires a soul ring, it is a way to nourish his martial soul.

Therefore, he will have to be very careful in choosing his fourth spirit ring.

"The Light attribute is already sufficient, so let's choose another attribute for the fourth soul ring," Ye Qing pondered silently.

Evil, holiness, light and darkness, time and space, wind and thunder.

"For the fourth spirit ring, the first choice is time and space, and the second choice is wind and lightning! It doesn't matter if we can't reach the ultimate wind and ultimate lightning in the end, but the time and space attribute must be maximized!"

Ye Qing hadn't forgotten that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also had a move called Iron Man One-on-One Arena. He hadn't acquired this ability yet, and the most likely reason was that his body couldn't withstand the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger evolving to that level of strength.

It's also possible that his time and space abilities are still far from sufficient, and he needs to reach a certain level before he can unlock this ability.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wasn't born with all its abilities. It needed to devour a large number of other soul beasts to grow stronger and reach the standard required to use these skills before it could become its complete form.

Ye Qing is the same.

He hasn't even developed his innate domain yet, but it should be soon. Except for certain special martial souls, most martial souls with innate domains awaken at the Soul King level and reach their maximum potential at the Soul Saint level.

He estimated that he would be able to possess a talent domain after obtaining his fourth spirit ring.

After all, his spirit rings were far too advanced, enough to awaken his talent domain one spirit ring ahead of schedule.

After deciding on his fourth soul ring, Ye Qing stopped thinking, changed into a black robe, and changed his hairstyle. Apart from his facial features still vaguely resembling his original features, he looked like a completely different person.

Even if Beibei stood in front of him, she probably wouldn't recognize him without taking some time to identify him.

“Since we’re going to use an alias, we naturally need to come up with a name.” Ye Qing stroked his chin, deep in thought. “How about Ye Hei? No, no, that name has too much karma.”

"Then let's call him—Ye Xuan!"

Ye Qing chuckled, and three spirit rings lit up on his body. Then, with Qingxi's help, he transformed the three spirit rings (yellow, purple, and black) into four spirit rings (yellow, purple, purple, and black).

After Qingxi's cultivation reached the five-thousand-year stage, she naturally comprehended the innate skill of her Light Elf race: light control. In addition, her relationship with Ye Qing was close, so Ye Qing could also use her ability to disguise his soul ring.

Of course, it was just a disguise. Below the title Douluo level, it was basically impossible to tell the difference. If a title Douluo carefully sensed it with their spiritual power, Ye Qing's clumsy disguise would definitely be useless.

Unless Qingxi can be upgraded to the level of ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years, this disguise will not be able to fool those powerful individuals.

But it's enough.
