Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda branch.

The top-floor office was dim, and a woman sat quietly in a chair.

One hand propped up her head, and her face bore a rare trace of fatigue:

"Qiangu Dongfeng, oh, Qiangu Dongfeng. Although I despise Shrek and that ungrateful man Yun Ming..."

"But Shrek was the one that raised me, after all. How could I possibly join your filthy plan?"

A trace of fatigue showed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, but what showed even more was helplessness.

The entire Spirit Pagoda had already unanimously decided to target Shrek Academy. Although she was the Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, there was nothing she could do.

After all, the actual ruler of the entire Spirit Pagoda was the Qiangu Family.

Her eyes were somewhat weary at that moment. Hearing Shrek's name made her think of that heartless and cold man.

The two of them clearly had feelings for each other, yet he had chosen that green-tea woman without the slightest hesitation.

Leng Yaozhu gently rubbed her temples. She suddenly thought of her cheap disciple, who swayed before her every day with a grin on his face.

When she thought of those two disciples of hers, the fatigue in Leng Yaozhu's eyes faded somewhat.

But just then, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face filled with disbelief.

Leng Yaozhu quietly gazed at her Spirit Sea. A diary had suddenly appeared within it.

The diary flipped slightly. Apart from the diary's rules, it contained the first entry, as well as a description of Chen Ye.

"What is this? How did it suddenly appear in my mind? It knows the past and present, and even the future? Something that can predict the future?"

A flicker passed through Leng Yaozhu's eyes. Her face was filled with disbelief, but she did not harbor the slightest suspicion.

After all, as an Extreme Douluo equipped with Four-Word Battle Armor, she was already equivalent to a Quasi God.

"To place this diary in my mind without being noticed by me... Its owner must be an extremely terrifying existence."

"And if this diary is ownerless, then it should be the legendary Super Artifact."

Leng Yaozhu thought about it, but had no intention of touching it. She merely observed the diary quietly, then saw its newest option.

"Diary Chat Group. All diary holders can communicate inside it. This is rather interesting."

A flicker passed through Leng Yaozhu's eyes as she opened the Diary Chat Group page.

On the other side, at the Chen Family, Chen Ye looked at the prompt on the Chronospace Diary in surprise.

[Your trust level with Leng Yaozhu has reached level four. Congratulations, you have obtained four draw attempts.]

"Was she really that easy to convince? Then again, it makes sense. She's an Extreme Douluo, so anything that can enter her mind must belong to a god."

"But she's only an Extreme Douluo. She doesn't have the same level of insight as Gu Yue, so it's perfectly normal for her to trust the Chronospace Diary."

Chen Ye thought about it, but he could not stop a smile from appearing on his face. He had directly obtained eight draw attempts.

Six were from the first Reward Pool, and the other two were from the second Reward Pool.

At that moment, the second Reward Pool in his mind had officially opened as well.

After opening the second Reward Pool, Chen Ye glanced over it, a trace of curiosity appearing in his eyes.

That was because the second Reward Pool was completely different from the first.

The first Reward Pool had at least revealed what its golden reward was, whereas the second Reward Pool had five golden rewards, all of which were question marks.

Chen Ye felt somewhat helpless when he saw this, but it went without saying that the golden rewards had to be good things.

"The golden reward in the first Reward Pool lets me choose a top-tier Martial Soul. That was the second golden reward. Is it possible that I can choose a God-level Martial Soul?"

"Now that it's confirmed that Gu Yue sealed the Silver Dragon King's power, I should be able to choose the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul."

"If I fuse the two Martial Souls then, I might be able to directly obtain the Dragon God Martial Soul."

A flicker passed through Chen Ye's eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to open the first six draws first.

The wheel appeared, then began to shake. As the pointer continued to wobble, the first three pointers quickly stopped.

Two of them landed on white rewards, while one landed on a yellow reward. The fourth pointer then stopped on a purple reward.

The fifth pointer stopped on a red reward.

As for the final, sixth pointer, it landed directly on the golden reward amid Chen Ye's astonished gaze.

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a one-thousand-year increase in Soul Ring Age. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a one-thousand-year increase in Soul Ring Age. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Mysterious Water Pill.] [Congratulations, Host, you have obtained ten thousand years of Soul Ring Age. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a random Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from the red reward.] [Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the golden reward: an opportunity to choose one top-tier Martial Soul.]

Chen Ye looked at the system's final notification, and his eyes instantly lit up.

A new line appeared as the diary flipped. As long as he filled in the Martial Soul he wanted, he could obtain it directly.

But when it was time to choose, Chen Ye hesitated. "I currently possess the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, and the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul is renowned for its power and dominance."

"So my Second Martial Soul should preferably be a weapon-type Martial Soul. It could both serve me and assist me in killing enemies."

"But the Chronospace Diary is too important. I need to conceal it completely."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ye would have chosen a weapon-type Martial Soul. After all, pairing one with the Golden Dragon King's terrifying power would be the perfect solution.

The problem was that since he wanted to conceal the Chronospace Diary, he had to find a decent Martial Soul.

Chen Ye knew of many top-tier Martial Souls, and every one of them had been used by a powerhouse who dominated an entire region.

However, he could obtain all of them again from future Reward Pools. The main purpose this time was still to conceal the Chronospace Diary.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Ye finally chose to look through his family's Family Compendium.

As a top-tier family, the Chen Family's inherited Martial Soul, the Myriad Mountains and Rivers Map, could likewise be considered a top-tier Martial Soul.

Moreover, the Myriad Mountains and Rivers Map possessed extremely powerful offensive abilities, as well as extremely powerful control abilities. It could be considered both a Power Attack System and a control-type Martial Soul.

Unfortunately, Chen Ye had no use for the thing. No matter how powerful this Martial Soul was, it could not compare to the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul.

Rather than choose a useless Martial Soul that would offer him little improvement, he might as well find a way to obtain a different kind of Martial Soul.

Apart from normally existing Martial Souls, there was another type of Martial Soul: Mutated Martial Souls.

Chen Ye went through all the powerhouses who had ever appeared in the family records.

It was not until more than a thousand years ago that he found an existence that suited his needs rather well.

That person's Martial Soul was called the Myriad Swords Diagram. It was a top-tier Martial Soul, but also the weakest among top-tier Martial Souls.

That was because this Martial Soul needed to be paired with a sword-type divine artifact, or with a sword-type Second Martial Soul.

This Martial Soul itself had very weak offensive abilities, but it could conceal a sword-type Martial Soul within it and greatly increase its power.

This Martial Soul was useless to anyone, but not to Chen Ye.

With the draw system, he could choose another Martial Soul in the future.

The Seven Kill Sword, Heavenly Frost Sword, Affectionate Sword, Ruthless Sword, Stargod Sword... All of these could be used by him and concealed within the diagram.
