Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 229 is a complete mess

The old men of the Sea God Pavilion are skilled at vying for power and profit, so they are naturally top-notch at playing mind games.

Ye Qing did not try to hide his actions, and anyone who was interested could easily understand what his actions meant.

The reason why the old men haven't taken any drastic actions yet is all because of Mu En. Ye Qing maintaining a master-disciple relationship with Mu En means that he is still a member of Shrek Academy. And in front of Mu En, who has recovered to his peak, they don't dare to do anything underhanded.

There's no doubt that they're dissatisfied.

Their answer was to cultivate Huo Yuhao. They were very dissatisfied with Ye Qing, who had become too independent, so they wanted to cultivate a more talented child to replace Ye Qing.

He has great potential and a promising future; more importantly, he is obedient!

As for Moon?

What else can he do but lie down and sunbathe and watch? He really thinks that extreme attributes can be achieved by absorbing soul rings? That's just too naive.

If the strength of the martial soul itself does not meet the requirements, even if you are killed by the soul-absorbing ring, you will not be able to transform your own attributes to the extreme. This kind of problem is easy to understand even with a knee. Otherwise, why has there only been three extreme attributes except for Ye Qing for thousands of years?

Why don't you take another look at him, Mu En?

With two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red spirit rings, isn't that awesome? With the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul, isn't that powerful? With a level 99 cultivation limit, isn't that superb? Now look at him, has Mu En transformed into the Ultimate Light yet?

Ye Qing's Holy Tiger of Light was originally a mutation, and he grew up bathed in the radiance of the Golden Tree and drinking tea made from Golden Tree leaves. Mu En was not surprised that he was able to transform to the extreme, because the essence of his mutated martial soul was strong enough.

Huo Yuhao's Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger...?

Moon's assessment was: there is hope, but not much; even if he succeeds, he will be far less successful than Ye Qing.

However, he did not stop the elders' actions. There was no need. He was a retired old man, why should he worry about those things all day? Moreover, after this incident, Moon even began to somewhat agree with Ye Qing's decision to cut ties with Shrek Academy.

Such a Shrek Academy is indeed a burden and a constraint for Ye Qing. If his disciple aspires to become a god, cutting ties with Shrek Academy would be the best choice.

He was bound to Shrek Academy out of responsibility, because there was nothing he could do. From the time of Yu Xiaogang, their lineage had been branded with Shrek's mark, and it was impossible to completely sever ties with them.

As long as he has this affection for Shrek Academy, Ye Qing will not watch it perish. That's enough. As long as the name Shrek Academy exists, Mu En will have lived up to the responsibility he bears.

As for the rest, the weary old man had no desire to get involved anymore.

I'm really tired.

After regaining his health, Moon wanted to live for himself for the remaining ten or twenty years of his life.

……

Huo Yuhao, who became the target of a power struggle among Shrek Academy's higher-ups, was unaware of the inside story. He thought that his talent had finally been recognized by Shrek Academy's higher-ups and was overjoyed.

As Shrek Academy's leadership began to allocate more resources to him, Huo Yuhao's recognition of Shrek Academy grew stronger. With Zhou Yifan and Yu by his side, and Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo above him, he began to regard Shrek Academy as his home.

At the Treasure Pavilion, he even used his red-level privileges to take a top-tier ice-attribute left arm soul bone, greatly enhancing his combat abilities.

It was as if he had become a winner in life overnight.

However, Huo Yuhao noticed that his roommate Wang Dong seemed to have changed. Although he used to be arrogant and aloof, he was still very easy to get along with when he was with people he knew well.

But since the competition ended not long ago, Wang Dong has become taciturn. It's no longer the same attitude he used to have—looking down on those around him and unwilling to communicate with others. Instead, it's a feeling of absent-mindedness, as if he doesn't care about anything anymore.

She even distanced herself from her roommate Huo Yuhao, and began to slowly resist contact with him.

Huo Yuhao was completely baffled.

He once asked Wang Dong if something had happened after he was kidnapped by the Grim Reaper that caused his personality to change, but Wang Dong just shook his head, denying the guess, and did not give an answer.

Huo Yuhao was at a loss as to why Wang Dong was so unresponsive. After several attempts to reason with him were met with indifference, he became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.

Damn it, I didn't do anything to you, so why are you giving me attitude and acting like a spoiled brat again? Did I owe you something or something?

Then the two started giving each other the cold shoulder. Of course, this was a one-sided cold war by Huo Yuhao. Wang Dong remained indifferent to everything, immersed in his own world.

Why is this happening?

Ultimately, it was Ye Qing's doing. Tang San cut off the soul too ruthlessly, severing half of it completely. He didn't want Wang Dong's true identity to know about him, wanting to use his most innocent side to trap the chosen one of destiny. At the same time, he wanted Wang Dong to always maintain unconditional obedience to him, so that his own daughter wouldn't turn into one of those three clowns—Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena—who were love-struck and betrayed him.

Therefore, in Wang Dong's heart, the image of this person whom she worshipped, revered, and obeyed unconditionally was very vague. Only when she was sewn into Tang Wutong would this image become Tang San.

That's where the problem lies.

Ye Qing's Holy Light effect was too damn overpowered. Coupled with his eight wings and temperament that resembled Tang San's, it instantly twisted the image in Wang Dong's mind into Ye Qing's appearance.

Since the competition ended, Wang Dong has been racking his brains trying to figure out why he had such an irresistible feeling for Ye Qing, and why Ye Qing's image was so deeply etched in his heart.

At first, she thought Ye Qing had used some kind of method to interfere with her mind, but after thinking about the mark between her eyebrows, that thought vanished.

It's nothing more than trust. As long as this mark is there, no one can interfere with his mind, not even Ye Qing.

So the image of Ye Qing in his mind wasn't the other party's methods, but rather his own...thoughts?

Wang Dong was startled.

He's handsome, strong, can cook, and gentle—he's practically flawless… but… hmm? Thinking about it this way, could it be that I've fallen for him?

Wang Dong, who was constantly engaged in internal struggles with himself, had no time to care about Huo Yuhao and the others, which led to the current stalemate.

In this world, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao do not have a spirit fusion skill, so the so-called shadow of the Goddess of Light is naturally gone. The dog leash hadn't even been properly put on before it went on strike.

Immediately afterwards, a wealthy young lady with an extravagant and extravagant personality also made her move!

In an instant, the outer courtyard was thrown into complete chaos.
