Diary Chat Group

Watching his father walk away, Chen Ye truly felt helpless this time.

"You old hag, and you too, Gu Yue—just you wait! Once I get stronger, you're both finished!"

Though he said that, Chen Ye's face was full of helplessness. After all, there was nothing he could do about either of them right now.

School life was always the same, so the days flew by. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

At the elementary class graduation ceremony, the nine-year-old children were all crying their eyes out.

They hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.

"Waaah, there are several classes in the Intermediate Department. We might not see each other again!"

"You'll always be my good friend. I'll never forget you."

"Ah, no! Me too! I don't want to forget you either!"

Chen Ye glanced at the sobbing elementary schoolers. Two of them even tried to come hug him, but he refused them.

He turned his head slightly, looking toward the girl standing nearby.

Compared to three years ago, she had grown noticeably taller, but her expression remained cool and aloof.

Chen Ye, on the other hand, had changed a great deal over the past three years.

He strode forward and reached out to pat Gu Yue on the head.

The gesture was so sudden that even Gu Yue froze for a moment. She hurriedly knocked his hand away, then looked at him with a helpless expression.

After three years, most of the students still hadn't reached even one ring. Only a few exceptionally talented students had barely managed to reach the first ring.

But looking at Chen Ye standing before her, Gu Yue truly felt helpless.

Because she had followed the usual path of cultivation, she had only reached the Second Ring so far.

Chen Ye, however, had already reached the Three Rings and possessed three Blood Essence Soul Rings.

With the Soul Power of the Three Rings and a God-level Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon King, Chen Ye was no match for Gu Yue—unless she revealed the Silver Dragon King in her complete form.

At first, she could still rely on her combat skills and experience to keep Chen Ye on the back foot.

But ever since last year, the tables had turned, and Chen Ye had been the one bullying her.

"Keep your hands to yourself. 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 pressed her lips together and couldn't think of anything else to say.

Seeing the girl's frustrated expression, Chen Ye grinned. "All right, I'm off. See you in the Intermediate Class in two months."

"Mm... See you in two months." Gu Yue pursed her lips and was just about to turn away when she suddenly stopped.

She turned slightly toward Chen Ye. "Aren't we going to the Rising Spirit Platform tomorrow?"

"Yeah. I never said I wasn't going."

"Then why are you saying 'see you in two months'?" Gu Yue glared fiercely at Chen Ye, but all she could do was protest with her eyes.

There really wasn't much she could do about Chen Ye right now.

"So what? You won't even let me get a little sentimental?" Chen Ye blinked. Seeing how shameless he was, Gu Yue huffed and turned away.

Watching the girl leave, Chen Ye smiled. "Ah, I finally reached the Second Ring."

"This is so ridiculous it's ridiculous's own mother opening the door—ridiculous to the extreme. Whose Martial Soul system has two separate paths?"

Chen Ye muttered to himself. Only he knew how much he had struggled over the past three years.

For most people, improving their Martial Souls meant improving their strength at the same time, with both Martial Souls growing together.

But that wasn't how it worked for him. Or rather, his Chronospace Diary was different from other Martial Souls. He could only cultivate it slowly on his own.

Over the past three years, he had not only cultivated his Golden Dragon King Martial Soul to the Three Rings and obtained two more Golden Soul Rings, but also raised his Chronospace Diary to the Second Ring.

"I should be able to get a Soul Spirit today. I just haven't figured out who to give the three remaining slots to."

Chen Ye considered it, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He hadn't updated his diary lately, since it needed to focus on his own growth.

"After this round of diary distribution, I'll probably need to keep updating it."

Chen Family.

Chen Ye sat in his room, a brand-new Soul Spirit placed in front of him.

The Chen Family had obtained the Soul Spirit using a false identity. No one knew it had ended up with Chen Ye.

After all, on the surface, Chen Ye had a Golden Dragon King Martial Soul and had already reached the Three Rings. He had no need to install a Soul Spirit.

For the past three years, Chen Ye had been trying to downplay the outsiders' awareness of the Chronospace Diary.

After all, the Chronospace Diary was far too important. It was a crucial guarantee that would help Chen Ye grow stronger in the future.

Chen Ye stepped forward and picked up the Soul Spirit. It swayed slightly, and then the phantom image of a book merged into his mind.

The phantom book disappeared as it fused with the Chronospace Diary. New words appeared across its pages.

[The Chronospace Diary has met the requirements for its second distribution. Select the recipients: Leng Yaozhu, Mu Xi.]

[There are three more slots. Would you like to select recipients at random?]

"Can I distribute the diary a third time when I reach the Three Rings?"

[Each time the system upgrades, it awakens a new function. The next distribution will be available at the Fifth Ring.]

"So I have to wait until I reach the Five Rings before I can distribute it again? In that case, the three remaining slots are pretty important to me."

Chen Ye thought it over. If so, he definitely needed to reserve those three slots for specific people.

If the system randomly gave them to three unimportant female characters, he'd be losing out badly.

After thinking it over, Chen Ye decided to refuse the random selection and distribute the diary only to Mu Xi and Leng Yaozhu.

He had already raised Mu Xi's favorability to level four. Once he distributed the diary, he could get four draws right away and unlock the second Reward Pool.

Aside from that, though, he hadn't gained anything else. That was what made Chen Ye angriest.

He and Mu Xi had barely interacted outside of blacksmithing, yet her trust level toward him was already four.

But he had spent three years with Gu Yue, and her trust level toward him was still level zero.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry, but there was nothing he could do about this Silver Dragon King.

With the diary's latest distribution, Chen Ye could only hope that the second Reward Pool Mu Xi unlocked would give him something good.

After the diary distribution succeeded, Chen Ye could clearly sense that new connections had appeared within it. More words emerged across its pages.

[The Chronospace Diary is activating a special function: Diary Chat Group.]

[The seven female characters who have successfully joined the Chronospace Diary will appear under identity numbers 1 through 7.]

[The identities of the seven female characters are highly confidential. Apart from the owner, they will see only identity numbers when interacting with one another.]

[Current identity number order: Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui, Dai Yun'er, Mu Xi, Leng Yaozhu.]
