Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Ye Qing found that no matter how he looked at her for a long time, he felt that this princess was gracefully waltzing on his XP.

There was no emotion whatsoever, only bitterness.

Xu Jiujiu was indeed very familiar with the layout of the rooms at Xinghuang Hotel. At this moment, she was sitting at the tea table, which Ye Qing had not used for a week since he checked into the room, and was making tea with elegant and proper manners.

The morning sun streamed through the French windows, casting a golden glow on Xu Jiujiu's body. The rising steam from the kettle added a hazy beauty to her pretty face. Every movement she made was so perfect, so fluid and graceful.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we be eating breakfast at this time? Isn't it too early to make tea now?" Ye Qing opened his mouth and uttered the essential question.

After a long pause, the faint smile on her face froze, and she turned her head to look at Ye Qing expressionlessly.

She felt like she might be sick, otherwise how could she believe that this guy with zero emotional intelligence could become her good friend?

"Ahem, actually, having some morning tea is quite nice. If you add some pastries, it will be even better." Ye Qing sat down opposite Xu Jiujiu as if nothing had happened, took out a few boxes from his soul tool, and acted as if he wasn't the one who had just said such a jarring thing.

"Would you like to try some? These are my favorite osmanthus cake and red date cake. They may not be as good as the ones used in your palace, but they still taste pretty good."

Ye Qing opened the box and placed the pastries in front of Xu Jiujiu. The refreshing fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted from the pastries, mingling with the tea aroma that already filled the air.

He really liked osmanthus flowers; their fragrance always made him feel happy. That's why he was so pleased when he saw an osmanthus tree by the window of dormitory room 234.

Ye Qing's 'remedy' finally brought back the smile that had been gone for a long time, and the tea he had brewed was handed to Ye Qing.

Neither of them mentioned yesterday's events; instead, they ate pastries and drank tea while chatting harmoniously.

The conversation mostly revolved around Star City, discussing local customs, delicious food, and interesting toys or pretty clothes...

Xu Jiujiu was in high spirits, as if she had endless things to talk about.

But as the conversation went on, the topic shifted to other things.

"By the way, Ye Xuan, which country are you from? Are you from our Star Luo Empire?" Xu Jiujiu asked curiously.

“Yes, the Star Luo Empire.” Ye Qing nodded.

Before Ye Feng entered Shrek Academy, he was a citizen of the Star Luo Empire. Shrek Academy is not a country, so even if he entered Shrek Academy, it would not change the fact that Ye Feng was a citizen of the Star Luo Empire.

As Ye Feng's grandson, it's perfectly reasonable for Ye Qing to claim he's from the Star Luo Empire.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's reply, Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes brightened even more.

People from the Star Luo Empire are great!

Although she didn't really care which country Ye Qing was from, as long as he wasn't from the Sun Moon Empire, it was fine. But if he was from their Star Luo Empire, that would be even better.

"I'm just passing through Xingluo City this time, and I'll be leaving soon," Ye Qing said.

"Ah? So soon?" Xu Jiujiu's tone was tinged with reluctance.

"Just like you said when we met this time, as long as we are destined, we will meet again in the future." Ye Qing said with a light smile, "I can't live in Star Luo City forever. Soul Masters should strive to be strong. My goal is to become a top expert."

"When are you leaving? I'll see you off."

"Afternoon."

……

Looking at the Star Luo City gradually shrinking behind him, Ye Qing took a deep breath. His second soul ring suddenly lit up, a black light flashed by, leaving only his afterimage before slowly disappearing from sight.

High in the sky, someone seemed to sigh.

Ye Qing, who had already left, was unaware that a Title Douluo, Lao Deng, was trying to follow him, only to end up getting a mouthful of exhaust fumes. At this moment, he was rapidly approaching the Star Dou Great Forest.

In order to obtain the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, he stayed in Star Luo City for eight days. Next, he planned to spend twenty days searching for Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest and one day absorbing a Soul Ring.

If he cannot find a suitable soul beast in the next twenty days, he will have no choice but to return home.

"I hope my luck is good enough!" Ye Qing looked at the vast primeval forest in the distance and, without stopping, charged into it while maintaining his Evil God Charge state.

The speed at which the evil god charged forward was so great that even a titled Douluo would be caught off guard; what could a mere flying soul beast do to him?

Just barge in and you'll be fine.

Chapter 70 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

This is an ancient, enormous tree that has stood in this forest for hundreds of years. Its thick trunk is so large that even five people working together might not be able to encircle it.

Under the influence of soul power, it even became a soul beast.

On this day, it was basking in the sunlight and photosynthesizing as usual when suddenly a black streak of light flashed by.

next second...

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, a hole more than two meters wide burst open in its thick trunk. The violent impact caused the tree to collapse to the ground, unable to withstand the force.

Tree: You mua!

A pale yellow spirit ring gradually appeared on the collapsed tree stump, while the black light that had just flashed by returned and transformed into Ye Qing's figure.

He had been in the Star Dou Great Forest for three days. During these three days, Ye Qing had not found any high-age soul beasts that met his hunting standards. So, while searching for soul beast targets, he was also fulfilling a plan he had come up with earlier.

The locomotive collided.

The Evil God's Charge is easier to control than the Holy Light Shuttle. And since he wasn't at Shrek Academy at the moment, and the Star Dou Great Forest was sparsely populated, it was the perfect time for him to work on his Light Speed ​​Elbow Strike.

"Have you ever been elbowed by someone with bare elbows?" Ye Qing asked.

Then some trees in the Star Dou Great Forest suffered an undeserved disaster.

For example, this tree, which was a hundred-year-old soul beast, was cut in half and died on the spot by Ye Qing's light-speed elbow strike.

Of course, Ye Qing, who was not yet proficient in this ability, was also not having an easy time.

"Hiss..." He looked down at his elbow, which was visibly swelling and turning red, took a deep breath, and then spread his Wings of Light to use his soul skill to heal himself.

But this injury was already considered mild. When Ye Qing successfully unleashed the light-speed elbow strike for the first time, he almost thought his hand was going to break because he couldn't control his strength. After he stopped, the entire skin on his elbow was torn off.

It was only thanks to the protection of an 80,000-year-old top-grade soul bone in his right hand that he was able to break his bones with the force of that impact.

The second time, because the consequences of the first time were too severe, Ye Qing's speed was not increased and the impact force was too weak. As a result, he crashed into the tree and was almost turned into a hedgehog by the tree trunk fibers.

Compared to those two times, this time was much better.

After all, this was the result of numerous experiments, and Ye Qing was already very satisfied.

"Fortunately, I didn't test this soul skill back then because I was in Shrek Academy. Even my current physical strength can't withstand it. I guess I would have had to start my life over from scratch back then." After healing the injury to his right elbow, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced back at the outer area behind him, then transformed into a black streak of light and headed deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

The outer area has been explored to a great extent, and Ye Qing was just trying his luck, but he knew that finding a 70,000-year-old soul beast in the outer area was virtually impossible. Let alone the outer area, even the mixed area further ahead would be difficult.

To hunt down a high-quality spirit ring, he might have to sneak into the core area, where powerful spirit beasts reside.

As for extremely inauspicious places...

Forget it. Ye Qing hasn't lived enough yet and wants to live a few more years. He has no interest in becoming food for Di Tian and other ferocious beasts.

Over the next seven days, Ye Qing traversed the mixed zone. Thanks to the extreme speed of the Evil God's charge, even when Ye Qing was discovered by many powerful soul beasts while searching for them, he was able to escape easily.

This ability to move at incredible speeds by transforming the body into elements is, in some ways, truly unfair.

Unless Ye Qing accidentally stumbles into the talent domain of some powerful soul beast, or is forcibly suppressed by the soul beast's soul power without preparation, preventing him from entering the elemental state, he would never have been caught.

However, both of these scenarios are highly unlikely.

Soul beasts cannot activate their talent domains all the time. By the time a soul beast is about to activate its talent domain, Ye Qing has already run away. Soul beasts that can possess domains must either have extremely strong bloodlines or extremely high cultivation levels.

If these two types of soul beasts are not Ye Qing's targets, he will run away on the spot. If they are his targets, he will not alert them, but will hide in the shadows as the sixth man and wait for the right opportunity to give them an elbow strike.

Where would they find the opportunity to unleash their talents?

After searching the mixed zone for another week, Ye Qingren was completely exhausted.

He had found 70,000-year-old soul beasts before, but they were all very common soul beasts and did not have the four attributes of time, space, wind, and thunder that he was looking for.

Ye Qing had found one 70,000-year-old soul beast with both light and dark attributes, but his light and dark attributes had already reached their peak, so getting the soul rings from these two soul beasts would be almost not cost-effective.

Spacetime attribute is one thing, since these two attributes are considered higher-level attributes, so it's normal for them to be a bit rare.

But what about wind and thunder?

Have all the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest died out? We can't even find a 70,000-year-old wind and thunder attribute spirit beast!

Ye Qing sat among the branches of a lush tree, concealing himself, and munched on the fruit in his hand with a gleam in his eyes.

To be honest, being alone in the Star Dou Great Forest is really scary, especially since Ye Qing is now deep in the mixed zone. With his level 40 Soul Master cultivation, almost any Soul Beast here has the power to ambush and kill him.

Needless to say, the core area, which is even deeper inside, can even contain 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is not something he can easily mess with, which is why Ye Qing has never stepped into the core area. Without teammates, he avoids going in if possible.

"Do we really have to go in?" Ye Qing put down the fruit in his hand, his expression uncertain as he looked at the deeper core area.

The Evil God's Charge is not omnipotent. Before encountering a soul beast that can counter this ability, he can indeed move freely in and out of the Star Dou Great Forest. However, if he encounters a soul beast that can restrict his movements, he will be a lamb to the slaughter.

"Damn it, let's do it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. At worst, we'll just run away the moment we realize something's wrong!" Ye Qing gritted his teeth, then suppressed his aura as much as possible, poked his head out from the treetop, and prepared to venture into the core area for a risky adventure.

then……

A dazzling golden light appeared before his eyes.

It was an extremely beautiful lion, its fur displaying a gradient of gold and red, its four claws like dragons, each stepping on a wisp of golden flame, and the skin beneath its fur seemed to be covered by a layer of fine scales.

The most striking feature is its third eye on its forehead, an eye that seems to see through everything in the world and foresee the trajectory of fate.
