Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

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're truly sincere in becoming my disciple? How can I trust you with 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 having to "kowtow and become an apprentice".

Ye Qing didn't hear him mention any closed-door disciples; he just accepted 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 those who know, know.

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. He had practically watched Ye Qing grow up, and 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, and 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, which 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, possibly have the idea of ​​absorbing it?

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

In addition, Huo Yuhao, who also absorbed the soul bone, 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 or anything like that. It's one thing if a six-year-old child who has just awakened his martial soul doesn't understand these things.

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 possessed were 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 at your current level."

Oh, that's okay.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

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 the so-called "aptitude test" to start learning directly.

As an elder, Ye Feng's knowledge of these things is more than enough to teach Ye Qing. What Mu En wants to teach is more profound knowledge of soul masters, such as creating soul skills, soul core condensation, and how to forge one's own path.

Of course, I wouldn't waste my time on such trivial matters.

"My dear grandson, martial spirit is a power that we humans are born with. Everyone can awaken their martial spirit at the age of six. Some people do not awaken it at the age of six, but are stimulated to awaken it through various subsequent events."

"This is our martial spirit."
