I Can't Stop!

"But there's one more thing I think you need to keep in mind." Ye Feng interrupted Ye Qing's thoughts.

"What is it?" Ye Qing asked in confusion.

Ye Feng's voice grew solemn. "Grandson, do you know why almost no Soul Master organization has ever managed to tame a Soul Beast to serve as its guardian?"

"Even Super Douluos and Limit Douluos only live for a few short centuries. Everyone has their moments of glory, and countless organizations rise and fall. Sometimes, once a generation's experts die and no worthy successors emerge, the organization vanishes like smoke."

"All they would need to do is tame a Soul Beast over fifty thousand years old. With its long lifespan and formidable strength, it could carry them through a brief decline until their next genius matured. Yet no organization has ever succeeded. Do you know why?"

Ye Qing fell silent for a moment.

Although Ye Feng had not spelled it out, he already had a good idea of what his grandfather would say next, and what he was really trying to tell him.

Sure enough, Ye Feng's next words confirmed his guess.

"Soul Beasts are Soul Beasts, not humans. We Soul Masters need to obtain Soul Rings to grow stronger, and the stronger a Soul Beast is, the more intelligent it becomes. No Soul Beast can tolerate protecting an organization that constantly hunts down its own kind. That hatred is etched into its bloodline."

"Even if you can tame one for a time, after a Soul Beast raised by an organization sees more and more Soul Rings, the hatred toward Soul Masters in its bloodline will awaken sooner or later. There have been cases where an organization tamed a Soul Beast, only to be wiped out by it instead." Ye Feng patted Ye Qing's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Those not of our kind must have different hearts. Perhaps it can live in harmony with you now, but once it sees you hunting other Soul Beasts and absorbing their Soul Rings, can you guarantee it won't turn on you?"

It can't trust you as it does now forever. You must be prepared for its hatred toward Soul Masters to awaken, and for it to turn on you in the end!

That was what Ye Feng wanted to tell Ye Qing.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what I'm doing," Ye Qing said softly, stroking his right arm.

"As long as you understand what I mean. All right, since you've obtained your Soul Ring, let's head straight back to the academy." Ye Feng smiled, then continued in a more excited tone, "Let's hurry and tell Mu En the good news that you've developed ultimate light. He'll be delighted!"

Clearly, Ye Feng did not know how Ye Qing's ultimate talent worked. With Light of the Holy Hall present, the Little Light Spirit, which absorbed Ye Qing's Soul Power every day, would only grow more attached to him.

As long as he did not abuse or torment it, what did killing a few Soul Beasts matter?

Even if he asked it to help him kill Soul Beasts, it probably would not hesitate at all. In its eyes, it would simply be hunting alongside its partner.

Ye Feng probably thought his words had upset Ye Qing, so he changed the subject, hoping to lighten the mood by talking about something else.

Ye Qing went along with him.

With an old geezer, it was best to stroke the fur the right way.

On the way back to Shrek, Ye Qing also gave a rough description of the skill he had obtained from his second Soul Ring.

Contrary to his hopes, Ye Qing's second Soul Skill was still not an offensive skill, nor was it even an enhancement skill. Instead, an ability of the light spirit that barely even qualified as a skill had become his second Soul Skill.

Holy Light Shuttle.

As its name suggested, this Soul Skill allowed Ye Qing to turn his body into light elements and then move at the speed of light. It was the same ability the light spirit used to vanish in the blink of an eye, and its lifesaving potential was practically maxed out.

Most importantly, since this was an ability the light spirit could use effortlessly, it did not consume much of Ye Qing's Soul Power. Every second of movement consumed only one percent of his Soul Power.

Although this "speed of light" could not possibly reach the three hundred thousand kilometers per second of actual light, it was still terrifyingly fast.

Ye Qing gave it a quick test.

In the blink of an eye, once he activated Holy Light Shuttle, he left Ye Feng so far behind that his grandfather could not even smell his exhaust.

Unless restraints had been set up beforehand, even a Titled Douluo would be unable to catch him...

Of his two Soul Skills, each was more absurd than the last. His first Soul Skill was godlike in single combat, while his second was godlike for survival. With one skill to shield him and another to flee, he would be very difficult to kill unless his opponent had more than five Soul Rings over him.

This time, Ye Feng was completely reassured.

Previously, his greatest fear had been that his beloved grandson, whose talent was peerless, would be snuffed out before he could mature. That worry had reached its peak after Ye Qing developed the ultimate light attribute.

After all, no ultimate attribute had appeared on the Douluo Continent for four thousand years.

And neither Ye Feng nor anyone at Shrek knew anything about Su Tong, who possessed the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul in the original story. Thus, Ye Feng believed his grandson was the only person in four thousand years to possess an ultimate attribute.

A genius like this...

Whatever else could be said, although the people of Shrek Academy were arrogant and looked down on everyone, they knew exactly how many enemies they had made.

Even setting aside the hostile Sun Moon Empire, plenty of people and organizations in the Douluo Three Kingdoms disliked Shrek. To maintain its radiant, noble image, Shrek could not simply wipe them out, and could only give them a warning from time to time under the banner of the Inspection Corps.

Under these circumstances, there was no telling whether those organizations would make a move against Ye Qing.

They would not want to see Shrek produce another Limit Douluo with an ultimate attribute.

Experts at the level of Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo would be watched by Shrek and unable to attack Ye Qing, but what about Soul Saints and Soul Emperors? Even a Soul King was beyond what Ye Qing could handle at this point.

Previously, Ye Feng had worried that he could not watch over Ye Qing at every moment, fretting over threats that might arise.

Now, he had no such worries at all.

Once Holy Light Shuttle was activated, Ye Qing would practically be unable to die even if he wanted to.

Unlike someone stuck in a rigid mindset who saw Holy Light Shuttle as merely a movement skill for running away, Ye Qing, rebellious as he was, began scheming up some outrageous maneuvers.

Although this was the Douluo Continent, basic laws of physics still applied. For example, someone falling from the sky would fall to their death, and gravity would cause their falling speed to increase.

Since the laws of physics worked here...

Why couldn't Holy Light Shuttle be used as an offensive skill?

The faster the speed, the greater the potential energy. With Holy Light Shuttle's incredible movement speed, what would happen if he crashed into someone while moving?

Could Ye Qing adjust Holy Light Shuttle's speed, making his elemental state slightly less complete and slowing himself down a little, so that he could attack others while moving?
