Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

To be honest, Mu En had seen everything that happened between the three of them, but he didn't know what to say. After all, it was the children's own choice. Even he, after bringing Zhang Lexuan back, rarely went fishing with Ye Qing anymore.

However, he never missed sending Ye Qing the Golden Tree tea every now and then.

Seeing that Ye Qing was able to awaken the 'Holy Tiger of Light' martial soul, Mu En was quite glad that he had done what he did. Perhaps it was because of the tea he gave Ye Qing that his martial soul was able to mutate to be so powerful.

"He might become a pillar of Shrek Academy in the future." This is Mu En's evaluation of Ye Qing, which means that in Mu En's eyes, Ye Qing's minimum future achievements will not be worse than Xuan Zi's.

Level 98.

This is Moon's lowest assessment of Ye Qing.

As long as Ye Qing develops steadily and doesn't go astray on his path of growth, he will surely become a strong person in the future.

In this way...

"Should I take him as my apprentice?" This thought suddenly popped into Moon's mind.

His own martial soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, and then he took in Yan Shaozhe, a disciple with the Martial Soul of the Phoenix of Light. Now he's taking in Ye Qing, a disciple with the Martial Soul of the Tiger of Light, and he's got the Dragon, Phoenix and Tiger all in one go!

Moreover, they are all of the Light attribute.

Since this idea had come to mind, Moon simply said it. After all, he was the Sea God Pavilion Master and the highest authority in Shrek Academy. He could do whatever he wanted without any scruples.

"Little Ye, would you like to become my disciple?" Mu En asked Ye Qing with a slight smile.

"?"

Ye Qing tilted his head, and a question mark appeared above his head.

Okay, okay, your great-great-grandson calls me brother, I call you teacher, and then I call you great-great-grandson, right? We each follow our own roles?

When Beibei sees me again, won't she have to respectfully call me "Great-Grandpa"?

Hmm, this sounds pretty good?

Of course, this idea is just a thought; it's impossible for me to say it out loud.

As for rejection, there was none. Over the years, Ye Qing had developed a very good impression of the old man, Mu En. He was kind, generous, and good at making money. In the original work, he was also portrayed as a wise and far-sighted elder.

If he could really become Mu En's apprentice, it would be a good choice. As the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En would definitely be able to provide him with the highest quality cultivation resources in the early stages.

Well, maybe after Mu En dies, I can inherit his position as the master of the Sea God Pavilion and sit in the main seat of the Sea God Pavilion, pointing fingers at Ye Feng.

However, Ye Qing didn't make the decision himself. He simply acted in a way that was most appropriate for his age, looking at Ye Feng with a bewildered and questioning gaze.

Anyway, Ye Feng definitely wouldn't refuse.

The old man froze on the spot, staring at Moon in shock, while the latter simply smiled and nodded, indicating that he was not joking.

then……

Ye Feng became even more excited.

Good heavens! This is double happiness! Not only has my grandson awakened such an awesome martial soul, but he has also been valued by Mu En, who wants to take him as a disciple. It's no exaggeration to say that he has risen to the top in one step!

How many Limit Douluo are there in Douluo Continent?

Even counting on one hand, you still feel like you have too many fingers.

Mu En is not only a Limit Douluo, but also the highest authority of Shrek Academy. If you really become his disciple, your backing is so strong that it's no problem to say that you have a rock-solid background!

Looking at me? Why are you still looking at me? Hurry up and agree!

Faced with Ye Qing's questioning gaze, Ye Feng kept giving him meaningful glances, feeling exasperated.

'Agree, agree quickly!'

This is truly a story of grandfatherly love and filial piety...

Ye Qingwei gave a barely perceptible twitch at the corner of his mouth, because he could guess how Ye Feng would react. In the eyes of these Shrek people, being able to be more deeply bound to Shrek was definitely a good thing.

The Shrek Academy members hold a status akin to Celestial Dragons in the Douluo Continent. Bearing the Shrek affiliation, they are superior to others wherever they go.

Moreover, in addition to bearing the Shrek Academy label, he also carries the labels of Sea God Pavilion Master and Limit Douluo disciple.

Ye Qing also honestly performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Chapter 12 The Apprenticeship Ceremony, the Arrogant Mu En

Mu En watched with a smile as Ye Qing completed the apprenticeship ceremony before stepping forward to help him up.

In the Douluo Continent, influenced by our ancestor who embraced the path of death, these powerful individuals are more or less mindful of proper etiquette, just like this apprenticeship ceremony.

If you don't bow properly, how can I know if you are truly sincere in becoming my disciple? How can I trust you to teach me all my skills?

Even old man Moon couldn't escape the custom and still took this kind of formal etiquette very seriously. However, Moon didn't do anything outrageous like 'kowtowing and becoming a disciple'.

Ye Qing didn't hear him mention any closed-door disciples; he would accept them as regular disciples.

Therefore, Ye Qing's apprenticeship ceremony consisted of offering tea and bowing, without any elaborate ceremony. Mu En didn't mind; as long as the etiquette was observed, the specific form was unimportant.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, didn't seem very satisfied.

As for why I'm not satisfied...

All I can say is that I understand everything.

But with Mu En right in front of him, Ye Feng couldn't say anything to Ye Qing, so he had no choice but to give up.

After Ye Qing finished becoming his apprentice, Mu En was clearly in a good mood. To put it simply, he had watched Ye Qing grow up. He was very gratified to have witnessed Ye Qing defy fate and become a top genius.

In his happiness, he became quite generous with his spending.

He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a warm and dazzling golden light appeared in front of Ye Qing. Enveloped in the light was an extremely complete right arm bone, which was as if it had been carved from crystal, without the slightest flaw.

"Hehe, since you've already become my disciple, I naturally have to give you a little something as a gift." Mu En chuckled as he pushed the soul bone in front of Ye Qing.

Ye Qing blinked and caught the right arm soul bone that was floating in the air.

As soon as he got his hands on the Soul Bone, a warm and familiar feeling emanated from it, and Ye Qing also had an urge to integrate it into his right arm.

This is a Soul Master's instinctive desire for Soul Bones.

“Little Ye, this soul bone is called Light of Demon Slayer. I obtained it when I was young. It comes from an extremely rare elemental soul beast.” Mu En patiently explained, “The soul skill it comes with must be an extremely powerful offensive soul skill. It should be a perfect match for your martial soul.”

Yes, this soul bone is the same Light-Breaking Demon that Mu En gave to Wang Dong to absorb in the original story. If Mu En hadn't already possessed a soul bone when he obtained it, he probably would have absorbed it himself.

The quality of a soul bone that even Moon was willing to absorb is naturally beyond question. Although the original work did not explicitly state the age of this soul bone, it is actually a top-grade soul bone with an age of up to 70,000 years.

If this Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone weren't of such high age and quality, how could Mu En, a Limit Douluo, have even considered absorbing it?

Mu En wouldn't even look at a regular soul bone!

In addition, Huo Yuhao, who also absorbed a soul bone at the same time, obtained an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone of extreme ice. How could he not take out a piece of similar quality?

However, Wang Dong was clearly not fortunate enough to receive this soul bone; it had already been given to Ye Qing by Mu En as a gift.

Mu En only introduced the various information about this soul bone, but didn't tell Ye Qing how precious it was. It's one thing to explain these things to a six-year-old child who has just awakened his martial soul, but whether he can understand them or not is another matter.

Later, Ye Qing understood the preciousness of this soul bone.

Yes, that's what Moon thought.

In fact, Ye Qing fully understood how powerful this soul bone was.

Don't be fooled by the fact that people in the second era of Douluo Continent often possess ferocious beasts, 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones. In reality, even Yan Shaozhe's ninth soul ring didn't reach the 100,000-year level, and the soul bones he possesses are most likely 10,000-year soul bones.

Even the dean of Shrek Academy can only use this configuration, let alone other titled Douluo.

Is a top-grade soul bone that's 70,000 years old not enough to show how generous Mu En is as a gift?

This apprenticeship was definitely worthwhile!

But this right arm bone...

Holding this precious object, Ye Qing was unsure whether to absorb it or not. If he did, he would lose his chance to obtain the dark gold dinosaur claw bear's right palm bone. The age of the bone was secondary.

The rule that spirit rings are judged by their age and spirit bones by their quality is practically a bible in the Douluo Continent.

If we really have to nitpick, an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul bone might not be as suitable for Ye Qing as this Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone. Perhaps this Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone can even improve his light attribute level.

The soul bones of elemental soul beasts greatly amplify their elemental attributes. Ye Qing's light attribute was already close to its limit, and after absorbing this Light-Breaking Demon, it's hard to say whether he might achieve a leap to the top and gain another limit attribute.

“It’s just that you can’t absorb it yet,” Moon said again.

"Although Soul Masters don't have a time limit for absorbing Soul Bones like they do for absorbing Soul Rings, this Light Demon-Slaying Soul Bone has never been absorbed by a Soul Master before. The Soul Power it contains is extremely vast, which you cannot digest in your current state."

Oh, that's okay.

Ye Qing rolled his eyes and tossed it to Ye Feng.

You should have said so earlier! You made me happy for nothing.

Mu En looked at his disciple, whose expression changed in an instant, with amusement. After pulling out a pile of books from who-knows-where, he handed them to Mu En and then leisurely left.

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony has now concluded.

Beibei originally wanted to talk to Ye Qing about things after his martial soul awakening, but after seeing the books in his hands, she silently followed Zhang Lexuan away. She had also read those books; they were all about martial soul cultivation and meditation techniques. Ye Qing, who had just awakened his martial soul, would inevitably have to spend a lot of time learning about martial soul knowledge.

Let's wait until Ye Qing is familiar with his martial spirit before we go play with him.

After everyone left, Ye Feng began to teach Ye Qing the knowledge in these books. Although the books were given by Mu En, this knowledge was not a secret in Shrek Academy. As long as you were a member of Shrek Academy, you could learn the contents of these books.

Ye Feng is an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and Ye Qing is the elder's grandson. The purity of their Celestial Dragon bloodline is self-evident, and they don't need to go through any so-called 'aptitude test'; they can start learning directly.
