Douluo Continent: Who says evil soul masters can't achieve sainthood through merit?

She lowered her voice and reminded him, "Beibei, that evil spirit master's spirit ring is almost finished absorbing. If we continue fighting, it might be disadvantageous for us."

Beibei also looked in Li Qing's direction, weighing her options in her mind.

Although he didn't believe Li Qing could turn the tide of the battle alone, the eerie aura of destruction did make him wary.

With the added assistance of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, the outcome of a true life-or-death battle would be unpredictable.

"it is good."

Beibei finally nodded, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, and decided, "Let's go."

He looked at Ye Guyi again, his voice as cold as a knife: "Shrek Academy will remember this. I want to see if the owner of the Holy Angel Martial Soul can protect him."

After saying that, he took Tang Ya's hand, and the two quickly retreated, disappearing into the shadows of the forest in a few leaps.

Ye Guyi did not pursue.

She withdrew her martial spirit, her wings dissipated, and she swayed, almost falling over.

Huo Yuhao quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Sister Ye, are you alright?"

"fine."

Ye Guyi waved her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "It just took a lot of energy."

She looked in Li Qing's direction and found that he was still sitting cross-legged, but the white light on his body had almost completely subsided, leaving only faint golden patterns flowing under his skin.

"He's almost done," Ye Guyi said softly.

Huo Yuhao also looked at Li Qing, his eyes filled with awe.

Although he didn't participate much in the battle just now, he still felt how strong Bei Bei and Tang Ya were.

Li Qing's ability to maintain his awareness of the outside world while absorbing a spirit ring demonstrates a composure far beyond that of ordinary people.

The two stood guard beside Li Qing, waiting quietly.

As night deepened, the stars twinkled in the sky.

The forest returned to calm, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the low growls of spirit beasts in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky suddenly changed.

Thick, dark clouds gathered without warning in the once-silent night sky.

Lightning streaked through the clouds, emitting a deep rumble.

The air became oppressive, as if something was tearing space apart.

"What's going on?" Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky nervously.

Ye Guyi also became alert, sensing an extremely eerie aura.

That wasn't soul power, nor spiritual power, nor any known energy; it was more like... a power from another world.

Just as the two were filled with surprise and doubt, a gray light tore through the clouds and descended from the sky!

The light was incredibly pure, yet it gave off a cold, deathly feeling, as if death itself were present.

It disregarded all physical rules, piercing straight through the clouds, trees, and earth, and finally—

It entered Huo Yuhao's body.

"Ah!" Huo Yuhao let out a short exclamation, his whole body frozen on the spot, his eyes wide open.

Ye Guyi was shocked and was about to step forward to check when she saw a faint gray halo appear on Huo Yuhao's body.

Strange runes could be faintly seen flowing within the halo, each rune exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is..." Ye Guyi felt relieved after sensing that there was no malice in the gray light, and was replaced by curiosity and doubt.

Could it be the legacy of some deity?

No way, what blind deity would be interested in Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao remained frozen in that position for a full ten breaths.

Then, the gray halo slowly receded and eventually disappeared completely from his body.

He blinked, his gaze shifting from blank to clear.

"I...I just..." he murmured, seemingly confused about what had happened.

"Are you alright?" Ye Guyi asked with concern.

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just... I feel like there's something extra in my head, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."

Ye Guyi frowned deeply.

The gray light was too strange, completely beyond her comprehension.

But judging from Huo Yuhao's appearance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him; on the contrary, it was as if he had received some kind of inheritance.

"Let's ask Li Qing when he wakes up," she finally said.

Time continued to pass.

As the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Li Qing finally made a move.

The white light around him completely dissipated, and the golden patterns also disappeared into his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils even more profound than before, as if they could see through people's hearts.

He stood up, his movements calm and fluid.

A black lotus of destruction appeared above his head, slowly rotating and emanating a chilling aura of destruction. Immediately afterwards, five spirit rings rose from beneath his feet—

Purple, purple, black, black, red.

When that blood-red spirit ring appeared, the air in the entire forest seemed to freeze.

A 100,000-year soul ring!

Ye Guyi gasped. Although she had expected it, seeing it with her own eyes still shocked her.

Moreover, it's not just the 100,000-year spirit rings; Li Qing's spirit ring ratio has completely broken common sense—the first two are 1,000-year rings, the third and fourth are 10,000-year rings, and the fifth is a 100,000-year ring!

That's simply impossible!

Huo Yuhao's mouth gaped open, unable to utter a single word.

He had just obtained his first hundred-year spirit ring and was still excited about it, while the person in front of him already possessed a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

Feeling the surging power within him, Li Qing smiled with satisfaction.

The sacrifice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm not only gave him a million-year soul ring, but more importantly, it elevated his physical attributes to an unprecedented level, enabling him to withstand the terrifying energy of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"Congratulations," Ye Guyi said sincerely.

Li Qing looked at her, noticing her pale face and the traces of blood at the corner of her mouth, and frowned slightly: "Has someone been here just now?"

"Two students from Shrek Academy..."

Ye Guyi briefly recounted what had happened and replied, "They misunderstood you as an evil spirit master and attacked you, but they've already left."

Li Qing nodded without asking any further questions, and simply placed her palm gently on Ye Guyi's shoulder.

A gentle power flowed into her body, rapidly repairing her injuries.

"Thank you," Ye Guyi said softly, feeling her soul power rapidly recovering within her body.

"I should be saying that!"

Li Qing withdrew his hand, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Have you finished absorbing it too?"

"Um!"

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously and replied, "I obtained a soul skill called 'Mental Detection.' And..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Just now, a gray light descended from the sky and entered my body."

A knowing glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

As expected, Electrolux still chose Huo Yuhao.

This is normal; Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul is indeed more compatible with necromancy.

In addition, the will of Douluo Star is also helping.

That's your opportunity.

Li Qing didn't say much, but reminded him, "Consider it carefully; it will benefit you."

He looked up at the sky, where the sun was rising above the horizon, its golden rays bathing the forest.

A new path has begun!
