Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 991 Becoming a Disciple of Yu Xiaogang – Dai Mubai
Yu Xiaogang had no doubts about Dai Mubai's explanation.

In the library and study of the Papal Palace in Wuhun City, there was only one rumor about the Evil-Eyed Saint King.

Although the legend of the Evil Eye Saint King originated from the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall had collected information on most of the martial spirits and spirit beasts on the continent over a period of time. Even if the Star Luo Empire's royal family concealed some information back then, it shouldn't be too far off.

“Master Yu, I didn’t pay much attention to this rumor when I was young, and my memory is now hazy. Could you tell me what you know so that I can see if there are any errors?” Dai Mubai wanted to learn the complete legend of the “Evil Eye Saint King” from Yu Xiaogang so that he could completely control that power.

Yu Xiaogang had no doubts and told him everything he knew, saying, "The Evil Eye Saint King is aloof and powerful. Your awakening must mean that you have some similar traits to him."

Dai Mubai seemed to realize that he had something in common with the Evil Eye Saint King—a lecherous and womanizing nature.

Moreover, after that, he discovered that the connection between his martial soul and Qingzhu Zhu had disappeared!

To be honest, Dai Mubai wasn't that hysterical. After all, he was a womanizer, and not having to give up the whole forest for one tree was just what he wanted!
Not to mention, he has now learned about the legend of the Evil Eye Saint King from Yu Xiaogang. As long as he can obtain its complete power, he will have the opportunity to not only reach the Title Douluo and Peerless Realm, but even the legendary Level 100!
No matter how powerful Zhou Qing is, can he compare to a god?

Although the cultivation philosophy displayed by Notting Academy and the Holy Soul Village under the leadership of the Red Society is indeed quite reasonable, having not personally witnessed Zhou Qing and Romantina's act of killing gods, and now having another path to rapid power, he would naturally choose the Evil Eye Saint King, which could make him stronger in a short time.

As long as it can quickly improve my strength, I don't care if I have to pay a certain price.

He wanted to prove to his father, Emperor Dai Tianran, that even without the Netherworld White Tiger, he was still the best candidate for the throne!
He also wanted to save face from Qingzhu Zhu!
"Teacher, please teach me how to cultivate!"

After much deliberation, Dai Mubai decided to take Yu Xiaogang as his master. Currently, Zhou Qing and the others might teach him personal cultivation, but the progress would definitely not be as fast as obtaining power from the Evil Eye Saint King.

The "Evil Eye Saint King" seems to be an alternative awakening of his own martial soul, one with him, which will surely make cultivation twice as effective.

More importantly, Yu Xiaogang had some knowledge of the Evil Eye Saint King, while Zhou Qing and the others, no matter how intelligent, probably had never even heard of the name Evil Eye Saint King.

At this point, a hint of relief appeared on Yu Xiaogang's lips.

Oscar is good, but he is ultimately a commoner with a somewhat mercenary air about him. Moreover, his martial soul is food-type, which is not suitable for him to become a battle soul master.

Zhou Qing of Notting Academy and the Red Society did propose a completely new classification of Soul Master professions, but Yu Xiaogang did not want his disciple to be limited to a support role.

Needless to say, within this system, food-type Soul Masters are completely unsuitable for participating in Soul Battle competitions.

Admittedly, Zhou Qing has ways to make support-type Soul Masters possess strong combat power, such as Ning Rongrong. However, Oscar is different from Ning Rongrong, who is backed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Oscar did not provide assistance in the establishment of the Crimson Society branch, so Zhou Qing does not need to repay any favors.

Even if Zhou Qingzhen were willing to teach Oscar some combat techniques, without a long period of fighting spirit to accumulate combat experience, it would be difficult for him to have strong combat power.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang himself believes that even within the original Soul Master system, food-type Soul Masters are not suitable for participating in Soul Battle competitions.

Healing and food-type Soul Masters, in war, are mostly relegated to logistical roles, with only a very small number engaging in direct combat with the enemy on the battlefield...
Therefore, having a Soul Master as a disciple would greatly increase his chances of regaining his reputation.

Moreover, he now has a certainty about the secret to becoming a god: faith is required!
The Evil Eye Saint King is related to the legendary divine beast, so if Dai Mubai wants to achieve the position of a god, he may also need to gather the faith of the masses!
As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai is simply the most suitable candidate!
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan supports the Heavenly Dou Empire, if he succeeds, the clan will surely forget his past and follow him to support the Star Luo Empire!
After all, the families and sects on the continent only supported the empire, but they were not its subjects. Unless absolutely necessary, the imperial family had no right to forcibly command the families and sects that supported the empire. More importantly, he saw the Crimson Society's ambitions and the Spirit Hall's recent actions—

Conquer Poseidon Island!
The mainland has been stable for nearly two hundred years, but undercurrents are already surging, and war may break out in a few years! At that time, the major powers may have to be reshuffled, and his choice to support the Star Luo Empire does not seem morally wrong! More importantly, as he meditates on his martial soul during cultivation, he also has an opportunity to break through.

Once they are able to cultivate, they naturally hope to break through to a higher realm, especially after learning about the prerequisites for becoming a god, they naturally want to give it a try.

Since Dai Mubai possesses the potential to awaken the Evil Eye Saint King, it would be good to let him try it out first, to explore the path forward for himself...
···
Day two.

Zhou Qing once again assigned training tasks to everyone, stating that Qingzhu, Zhu, and the others should not make any major changes within half a month.

Dai Mubai and the others still went to ask for autographs, but this time Zhou Qing asked them to get the autographs of Bu Yi and Xiao Lan.

And just like that, half a month passed quietly.

Dai Mubai and others have changed their behavior and way of doing things.

For example, among the disciples of the four lower sects, Feng Feng had a conversation with the elder of the Wind Sword Sect who came to Holy Soul Village in the past half month to seek cooperation in the soul tool industry. He was praised for his improved temperament and ability to shoulder great responsibilities.

Tuoba Wang and Xiang Ba also realized that their minds had become much sharper in the past half month.

Needless to say, Hu Yanli had already lived in Holy Soul Village for a period of time, but his experiences over the past half month could be described as "reviewing the old to learn the new".

Ma Hongjun and Oscar have also become more mature.

Therefore, Zhou Qing also guided the seven people in their cultivation direction based on the characteristics of their martial souls, which greatly improved their understanding of martial souls.

However, Zhou Qing also noticed the unusual nature of Dai Mubai's martial soul and advised, "Your martial soul has undergone some kind of mutation that can make you stronger, but my advice is not to rush it. Wait until you reach the Title Douluo level before trying to touch it, otherwise you will likely lose yourself."

Dai Mubai was startled, but quickly calmed down and said firmly, "Fortune favors the bold! I am absolutely capable of controlling the power originating from my martial soul."

"I've already explained the pros and cons to you, but you didn't listen. So don't blame me if you lose yourself in the future." It wasn't that Zhou Qing deliberately didn't teach Dai Mubai how to control the Evil Eye Saint King, but rather that the other party was neither his true disciple nor a student of Notting Academy, and couldn't afford the price for the plan to control the Evil Eye Saint King.

Of these fourteen people, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind Ning Rongrong provided practical assistance to the establishment of the Red Society in Xingdou Town. Therefore, he gave them some preferential treatment as a way of returning the favor.

The rest of the people—

Even with Qingzhu and Zhu, he treated them all the same, without giving them any special treatment.
