Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 82 Showdown, Blatant Lies

"You're actually from Shrek Academy?" Brigitte's surprised voice rang in Ye Qing's mind. "No wonder your talent is so outstanding. It turns out you're from Shrek Academy. That's not surprising at all."

"Wait a minute, if you're from Shrek Academy, why did you go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone? Where are your superiors?!"

Brigitte felt like her CPU had burned out, with countless formulas and conjectures constantly surfacing in her mind.

Bi Ji has never seen a Soul Master with talent as good as Ye Qing in all her years of life. How could a normal Soul Master dare to absorb a 60,000-year-old Thunder Hell Vine with his fourth Soul Ring? More importantly, how could he dare to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone and set his sights on a 70,000-year-old Soul Beast?

How could such a talented person be carelessly protected and left to hunt souls alone?

Brigitte said she didn't understand.

Given Ye Qing's talent, it's almost certain that he'll become a Limit Douluo in the future. Following this logic, shouldn't such a genius be carefully protected, and at least be accompanied by a Title Douluo whose strength rivals that of the Crimson King when he goes out?

It's somewhat ironic that they don't even have a guardian for the power of the Crimson One.

"There are some things I don't want others to know," Ye Qing's calm words rang in Bi Ji's ears.

Brigitte laughed: "It seems your relationship with Shrek Academy isn't as harmonious as I imagined. I think I understand why you were willing to help our Star Dou Great Forest."

Brigitte wasn't stupid; she quickly figured it out. Although she didn't understand the schemes and tricks of the human world, she could tell what was going on.

Ye Qing was wary!

He was on guard against Shrek Academy, or rather, on guard against certain people or things at Shrek!

Despite being from Shrek Academy, Ye Qing harbors suspicions towards them. It's no wonder he doesn't reject cooperating with the Star Dou Great Forest, as he also needs allies and assistance.

Given that Ye Qing had to complete the Soul Hunting task alone, their ability to provide him with high-quality Soul Rings was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Walking through the Shrek Academy campus, Ye Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing Brigitte's words: "Wasn't the reason I agreed to cooperate with you because of you?"

"Huh? I..." Brigitte was stunned, and her pretty face immediately turned hot.

"I understand why the Star Dou Great Forest would use you as a bridge for communication, and I don't object to it because your sincerity is truly evident." Ye Qing said calmly, having come to understand after this period of reflection.

The Star Dou Great Forest has really shown great sincerity, offering three 100,000-year soul rings and three 100,000-year soul bones right off the bat, and even giving him Bi Ji, the strongest support character in Douluo Continent, as his wife.

After investing so much, isn't it normal to worry about losing everything?

Moreover, the person they sent to monitor him was none other than Brigitte, whom they originally intended to give to him as a wife. With Brigitte serving as a bridge for communication, Ye Qing wouldn't be too averse to it.

Given all this, what else could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

If it were a nobody, they'd just give you a whole dog training package...

However, he really doesn't like beating around the bush, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. In that sense, Brigitte and he could even be considered a political marriage, so there was even less need to hide it.

"Because you are indeed very good—gentle, kind, beautiful, and powerful. And to be honest, I don't really have any prejudice against the soul beast race. Hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings is just to make myself stronger. This is the rule of Douluo Continent."

Brigitte remained silent.

"No wonder you were able to defy fate." Brigitte sighed softly. "Indeed, my mission is to be your partner and a bridge for you to communicate with the soul beast race, because we believe that you are very likely to become a god in the future, and the probability of that is very high."

"The Soul Beast race has been declining day by day. Under the targeting of a certain human god, our situation has become extremely difficult. If you can become a god, our race's situation will be greatly reversed and we will no longer be in such a predicament."

Now that things have come to this, Bi Ji no longer hides anything. Just as Di Tian would openly discuss how he would arrange things for Huo Yuhao after defeating him and continue to pass on his fortune to Xing Dou, Bi Ji also made no attempt to conceal her intentions.

Open and honest.

But coincidentally, Ye Qing liked this kind of showdown; scheming and backstabbing were too tiring.

He smiled slightly: "Then I wish us a harmonious coexistence in the future. Having accepted the benefits of your Star Dou Great Forest, if I become a god in the future, I will fulfill your requests."

It turns out that these ferocious beasts had long understood that a god was targeting them. After all, Di Tian and the others, who had not appeared in the eyes of the world for countless millennia, were exposed one after another after Tang San became a god.

Saving the life of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the main plot, but having Ye Qing save the Star Dou Great Forest is the more important, underlying plot.

No wonder they sent Brigitte out; if they hadn't sent a high-profile wife, Ye Qing wouldn't have bothered with their mess.

"Okay." A single word from Brigitte, tinged with a smile, echoed in Ye Qing's mind before his connection with her was severed.

Because we've arrived at the new student dormitory building.

Ye Qing stepped forward in a few strides and bowed to the old man on the recliner: "Teacher."

Mu En opened his eyes, looked at Ye Qing, and his eyes clearly showed a hint of surprise: "You broke through?"

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

"Yes, teacher, I was lucky enough to encounter a decent soul beast during my travels, which allowed me to break through to the Soul Master level," Ye Qing said with a smile.

But Moon's expression was somewhat serious: "What kind of soul beast is it? What is the age limit of its soul rings?"

They went to great lengths to help Ye Qing absorb his first three spirit rings at an extraordinary level, not so that he could waste his talent by randomly absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth spirit ring!

"Don't worry, teacher, it's a good soul ring." Ye Qing blinked and said calmly, "It's a 30,000-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse, a top-tier light-attribute soul beast. Its soul skill is called Holy Light Thunder Prison, which releases light and lightning to cause a wide-range, all-encompassing attack."

Holy Light Thunder Prison, a variant of Thunderous Hell Vine Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison, is transformed into Light Thunder by fusing Ye Qing's Holy Light Soul Power. Once he pushes the lightning attribute to its limit, it may become both Light Thunder Prison and Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison.

"A 30,000-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse..." Mu En breathed a sigh of relief. Although the age was a bit short, the quality was indeed very good.

This is Beibei's seventh spirit ring!

"But why would it be a Thunder variant?" Moon frowned.

"Because its attribute is a mutated Lightning, which is much stronger than a normal Heavenly Dragon Horse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have absorbed its soul ring," Ye Qing said with a smile.

Anyway... it's all made up.
