Watching his Old Man walk away, Chen Ye truly felt helpless this time.
"Old woman, and Gu Yue, you two just wait for me! Wait until I get stronger!"
Even as he said this, Chen Ye's face was full of resignation, since he was currently powerless against those two.
School life was always the same routine, so time passed quickly—three years flew by in an instant.
At the graduation ceremony for the Elementary Department, nine-year-old children were all crying miserably.
They hugged each other, faces streaked with tears.
"Boo-hoo, the Intermediate Department has several classes. We might not see each other again."
"You'll always be my best friend. I won't forget you."
"Ah, no! Me too! I don't want to forget you either!"
Watching these Elementary School Students wailing, Chen Ye swept his gaze over them. Two tried to come hug him, but he refused.
He turned his head slightly to look at the girl standing nearby.
Compared to three years ago, she had grown noticeably taller, but her brows and eyes were still cold and distant.
However, compared to three years ago, Chen Ye had changed a lot.
He strode forward and directly reached out to pat Gu Yue on the head.
This move was so sudden that even Gu Yue was startled. She quickly knocked his hand away, but when her eyes met his, there was a hint of helplessness.
In three years, most students hadn't even reached One Ring. A few talented ones barely managed to hit One Ring.
But looking at Chen Ye in front of her, Gu Yue was truly at a loss.
Because she had followed the normal cultivation path, she was only at Two Rings.
Yet Chen Ye had already reached Three Rings, possessing three Blood Essence Soul Rings.
With three rings of soul power plus a God-level Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon King, unless Gu Yue revealed the Silver Dragon King's complete form, she simply couldn't beat Chen Ye.
At first, she could still rely on her combat skills and foundation to suppress him.
But since last year, it had turned into her being bullied by Chen Ye.
"Take your hand off me. Touch me again, and I'll beat you up."
"What's wrong, Senior Sister Gu Yue? Want to fight me again? Forgot who got beaten up by me yesterday?"
"You... you bastard!" Gu Yue glared fiercely at Chen Ye, but she bit her lip and couldn't say anything else.
Seeing the girl's defeated expression, Chen Ye grinned, a smile on his face. "Alright, I'm leaving. See you in the Intermediate Department in two months."
"Mm... see you in two months." Gu Yue bit her lip and was about to turn away, but suddenly stopped.
She tilted her head to look at Chen Ye. "Aren't we going into the Rising Spirit Platform tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I didn't say I wasn't going."
"Then what 'see you in two months' nonsense!" Gu Yue shot Chen Ye a fierce glare, but that was all she could do to protest.
Against Chen Ye, she was truly helpless now.
"So what? Can't a guy be sentimental?" Chen Ye blinked. Seeing his shameless face, Gu Yue huffed and turned away.
Watching the girl leave, Chen Ye smiled. "Ah, finally reached Two Rings."
"This is ridiculous—Gate of Opening's absurdity brought home. Who else has a martial soul system split into two types?"
Chen Ye muttered to himself. The hardships of these three years were known only to him.
Normal people improved their martial souls together, raising both at the same time.
But not him. Or rather, his Chronospace Diary was different from other martial souls—it could only be cultivated slowly by himself.
In three years, he had not only trained the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul to Three Rings, gaining two other golden soul rings, but also cultivated the Chronospace Diary to Two Rings.
"Today I should be able to get a soul spirit. But I really haven't decided on the remaining three allocation slots."
As Chen Ye thought, hesitation flickered in his eyes. He hadn't updated his diary recently, since it needed to focus on his own growth.
"After this allocation, I should probably continue updating the diary."
Chen Family.
Chen Ye sat in his room, a brand-new soul spirit placed before him.
This was a soul spirit obtained by the Chen Family using a fake identity. No one knew it had come to Chen Ye.
After all, on the surface, Chen Ye possessed the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul and had already reached Three Rings, so he didn't need to install a soul spirit.
Over these three years, Chen Ye had been downplaying outsiders' awareness of the Chronospace Diary.
Because the Chronospace Diary was far too important—it was the key guarantee for Chen Ye's future growth.
Chen Ye stepped forward gently, picked up the soul spirit. It swayed slightly, and then a phantom of a scroll merged into his mind.
The scroll phantom vanished, absorbed by the Chronospace Diary. On the diary, new text appeared.
[The Chronospace Diary has reached the second allocation standard. Do you wish to select the second allocation slots: Leng Yaozhu, Mu Xi.]
[There are still three slots remaining. Should random selection be conducted?]
"Is it that when I reach Three Rings, I can make a third diary drop?"
[Each time the system levels up, a new function awakens. The next drop will occur at the fifth level-up.]
"So you're saying I need to wait until Five Rings before I can make a new drop? That means the remaining three slots are still very important to me."
Chen Ye's face carried a contemplative expression. In that case, these three slots would definitely have to be assigned to fixed targets.
If by chance these three slots were randomly given to three unimportant female characters, he would be at a huge loss.
So after thinking it over, Chen Ye chose to refuse and only conducted diary drops for Mu Xi and Leng Yaozhu.
During this time, he had already raised Mu Xi's favor to Level 4. After the diary drop, he could directly obtain four chances to draw and unlock the second Reward Pool.
But aside from that, he had gained nothing else—this was what angered Chen Ye the most.
He and Mu Xi had no extra contact beyond forging sessions, yet her trust level toward him was already Level 4.
But he had spent three years with Gu Yue, and her trust level toward him was still Level 0.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry, but there was nothing Chen Ye could do about this Silver Dragon King.
With this drop, Chen Ye could only hope that the second Reward Pool granted by Mu Xi would yield something good.
After the diary drop succeeded, Chen Ye could clearly sense that some new connections had appeared within the diary, and at the same time, new words surfaced in it.
[The Chronospace Diary is activating a special function: Diary Chat Group.]
[The seven female characters currently successfully added to the Chronospace Diary will appear with identity numbers 1 through 7.]
[The identities of the seven female characters are highly confidential. Except for the owner, all they see of each other are identity numbers.]
[Current identity number order: Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui, Dai Yun'er, Mu Xi, Leng Yaozhu.]
