Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

As for other opportunities outside the Myriad Years of Profound Ice Cave, Ye Qing either hasn't matured yet, or the time hasn't come. All he can do is wait silently.

Cultivation... and more cultivation.

After all eight meridians were opened, Ye Qing's cultivation speed was countless times faster than before. However, the drawbacks of the complete fusion of his martial soul also became apparent. Because he possessed too many extreme attributes, this power was directly reflected in his daily cultivation.

Even though he could use the Ice and Fire Body Refinement and the residual medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and could also draw on the life force of the Life Gold to assist in his cultivation, it would still take him five months to advance one level.

"No wonder the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger chose to cultivate by hunting and devouring other soul beasts. Even with so many treasures to aid me, my cultivation speed is still so slow. Wouldn't others be able to advance one level every year?"

Five months had passed since Ye Qing broke through to level 56. Feeling the soul power within his body, he shook his head speechlessly.

"Electra, when are you finally coming? This is too inefficient at extracting life essence..." Ye Qing looked at the life carving knife in his hand and couldn't help but grind his teeth. If he had already integrated the life carving knife into his body by now, his speed of extracting life essence for cultivation would definitely be much faster.

It is estimated that they can directly solve the problem of the difficulty in cultivating ultimate attributes. It takes three or four months, or even one or two months, to advance one level. In half a year, one can reach the Soul Emperor level in no time.

However, given the precedent of the golden hawksbill turtle, Ye Qing would never dare to swallow it directly.

With Bi Ji by his side at all times, Ye Qing didn't dare to actually devour soul beasts like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

I'm so conflicted...

Mu En did not discover his cultivation level. Under the multiple concealments of the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale, his flawless golden body, and the boundless spiritual power of the Vast Ocean, no one discovered his true cultivation level.

Speaking of Moon...

He has another thing to worry about now.

Chapter 111 Moon is furious, Beibei is devastated

Although life is tough, we still have to live it.

One step ahead leads to another.

Ye Qing has already achieved a wonderful start that others can hardly match, thanks to his talent and memories of his past life. By the time Huo Yuhao appears, he will be close to becoming a Soul Emperor.

With his precognitive memories of the plot, even if various butterfly effects occur in the future, Ye Qing will definitely be able to stay ahead of everyone else.

Even though the restrictions around him prevented him from unleashing the darkness within him and increasing his strength at will, it might not be such a bad thing.

The allure of a beautiful woman is alluring, but isn't the enhancement of one's abilities also an allure?

Ye Qing didn't want to be controlled by his lower body, so he asked Bi Ji to broaden her horizons and not lose her sense of proportion and rationality because of women. How similar this is to the current situation?

One is the body's instinct, and the other is the martial spirit's instinct.

Ye Qing could choose not to resist his body's instincts and live a decadent life surrounded by women. He could also choose not to resist the instincts of his martial soul and become the greatest and most evil evil soul master in the Douluo Continent, looking at everyone as if they were nothing more than bread rolls.

But he won't do that.

Ye Qing may be shameless, cunning, and manipulative, but he will never be without principles.

Except when facing Tang San.

Therefore, no matter how slow and tedious the cultivation was, Ye Qing still silently endured it. Perhaps it was a test from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, or perhaps it was a test he put on himself.

"I'm the one who corrupts others, how could I possibly corrupt myself!"

"If I couldn't even overcome these things as an ordinary person in my past life, how could I become a true strongman!"

……

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and the third-grade studies have finally come to an end.

Just as Ye Qing had guessed last year, Bei Bei, that rascal, really did only break through level 40 by the end of his third year. This was only because he was eager for his fourth spirit ring, so he put more effort into his cultivation. Otherwise, he would probably still be at level 39.

After successfully breaking through to level 40, Beibei couldn't wait to go find Moon.

Then came Good Friday, the day of suffering for Moon.

With a grim expression, he withdrew his withered right hand from Beibei's head, looking at his great-great-grandson with eyes full of disappointment. He had thought that Beibei might be bad, but he never expected him to be this bad!

He enjoyed the same resources as Ye Qing from a young age. Even though his talent was far inferior to Ye Qing's, Ye Qing's cultivation difficulty was countless times higher than his!

Two years ago, Ye Qing had already obtained his fourth spirit ring. Two years later, even though he had the ultimate martial spirit, Mu En still believed that with his disciple's talent, he might be close to reaching the level of a Soul King.

And what about Beibei?

He possessed a top-tier martial spirit and top-tier cultivation speed, yet he broke through to the Soul Master realm two years later than Ye Qing.

You should know that he awakened his martial soul half a year earlier than Ye Qing!

More importantly, after Moon's examination, he discovered that Bei Bei completely lacked the mental strength to resist the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. In other words, although his body was strong enough to withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring, his mental strength was far from sufficient.

His fourth spirit ring can only absorb spirit rings that are nine thousand years old!

Even a slight difference can lead to a huge error. A 9999-year soul ring is still several times worse than a true 10,000-year soul ring. It not only lacks the tempering effect of soul shock on a soul master's mental strength, but also lacks the effective physical enhancement of a 10,000-year soul ring.

Moon was disappointed.

But he didn't show it. He forced a smile and said in a flat tone, "It seems you've been cultivating very hard these past two years. I'll have someone take you to get your fourth spirit ring. You can go back now."

"Ancestor, can my fourth soul ring absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring?" Bei Bei looked at Mu En, her tone filled with hope.

Even though he's given up, he still wants to reach the fourth ring, even though he's been stuck there for ages.

Upon hearing Beibei's words, Mu En's forced smile vanished instantly, and he said expressionlessly, "Your mental strength is insufficient; you can only absorb nine thousand years' worth."

After saying that, Moon disappeared.

Without comparison, there is no difference. If Ye Qing hadn't been there to set an example, and Bei Bei's fourth soul ring could absorb a nine-thousand-year soul ring, Mu En would at least be very gratified, if not overjoyed.

But then look at Ye Qing...

Other people absorbed a spirit ring that was nearly seven thousand years old with their second spirit ring, and their third and fourth spirit rings were twenty thousand years and thirty thousand years respectively, but you couldn't even absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring with your fourth spirit ring!

Even if Beibei was stupid, he could see that Mu En was disappointed in him. The light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he sat down on the ground with a limp body.

"Nine thousand years...nine thousand years!" Bei Bei smiled bitterly, let out a hysterical growl, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

The fist that slammed into the ground was bleeding, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the frustration and anguish in Beibei's heart.

There's nothing you can do; you reap what you sow.

Ultimately, with Yan Shaozhe's help, Bei Bei successfully obtained her fourth soul ring, a Thunder Dragon Beast with 9,000 years and 300 years of cultivation, and acquired the soul skill Thunder Dragon Head.

Because the age of this spirit ring was high enough, Bei Bei also increased his spirit power by two and a half levels, but he couldn't be happy at all. Every time he saw the noble and lustrous purple light on his fourth spirit ring, a strong sense of shame and frustration surrounded him like an abyss.

To others, he was a true prodigy, the second most hated male on the "List of Men Who Deserve to Be Killed," but only Beibei himself knew the truth.

He lost miserably.

……

Ye Qing naturally knew about Bei Bei absorbing the fourth soul ring after nine thousand years, since it wasn't a secret to their group.

As Bei Bei's roommate, Ye Qing had witnessed his despondency and silence, but she didn't comment on it. As the saying goes, everyone chooses their own path. He chose to neglect his cultivation for the sake of dating, so this outcome was to be expected.

After a year of dedicated cultivation, Ye Qing's soul power level had only increased from level 55 to level 57.5, but he felt that his heart had completely calmed down.

While remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you may be beyond your capabilities, maintaining composure in the face of change is certainly achievable.

During this year's holiday, Ye Qing, as usual, went to Xingluo City under the alias Ye Xuan to meet his Princess Jiujiu. Because of this once-a-year meeting, Ye Qing inexplicably thought of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's meeting on the Magpie Bridge.

After he told this story to Xu Jiujiu, Princess Jiujiu almost gave herself to him on the spot.

If Ye Qing hadn't understood, he probably would have kept Xu Jiujiu in Xingluo City as a prince consort after he had taken advantage of her, and this princess might have really been completely taken advantage of by him.

Chapter 112 Come on, let's take down this soul ring!

After stabilizing the situation for a long time, Ye Qing did not stay in Xingluo City for too long. He took the opportunity to check on the current situation of our protagonist before returning directly to Shrek Academy.

The main character, of course, is Huo Gua.

He's almost eleven years old, with a soul power level of over eight. His father doesn't like his mother's sacrifices, and he's treated like a lackey in the Duke's mansion.

Oh no, not like a lackey. He was a lackey in the Duke's mansion, worse than an ox or a horse. Anyone could come and trample on him. He was even worse than a loser on the street.

"Judging from the plot, next year will be the time when Huo Yuhao's three-year term ends and the Dragon King returns, right?" Ye Qing pondered.

Because he had been scheming against Beibei for the past few years, they actually entered Shrek Academy a year earlier. As for why Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan also entered a year earlier, we can only ask if someone in heaven interfered.

Originally, Bei Bei met Huo Yuhao during her third-grade vacation, but it turned into a fourth-grade vacation.

That means... there's still one year left.

"But what about Zhang Lexuan? In the original story, she was supposed to experience an attack by a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and Xuanzi would make great contributions to the Holy Spirit Sect, right?" Ye Qing was a little confused. To confirm this, he would go to see Zhang Lexuan every few days for the past year.

It wasn't to win over Zhang Lexuan, but to showcase his 100,000-year-old fifth soul ring in a reasonable way.

Ye Qing planned to go with Zhang Lexuan on this soul hunt. Since Xuanzi was bound to mess things up, he could use the excuse of helping them buy time to lure the 100,000-year-old soul beast over, and then have Biji deal with the unlucky kid. He could also take the opportunity to show off his 100,000-year-old soul ring.

Ye Qing: In order to prevent Sister Le Xuan from getting hurt, I decided to lure away the 100,000-year-old soul beast to buy them time. But this 100,000-year-old soul beast was too weak. It collapsed before I even exerted any effort.

Yes, that's how you get a 100,000-year spirit ring.

perfect!

Naturally, Ye Qing also needed to pay attention to Zhang Lexuan's movements. As a result, he went to see Zhang Lexuan more than ten times in the past year, and on average, he would go to the inner courtyard to have a meal and go shopping with her every month. However, he never heard from her about any Soul Hunting Plan in the inner courtyard.

More importantly, Zhang Lexuan's soul power level is clearly only level 73!

She's still far from being an eight-ring Soul Douluo. How did she absorb that 100,000-year Soul Ring in the original story?

"Does a Soul Master have to reach a bottleneck before they can absorb a Soul Ring?" So, Ye Qing found Mu En and asked this question.
