Top-Tier Martial Soul

Eastsea City, Spirit Pagoda branch.

The top-floor office was dimly lit, a woman sitting quietly in her chair.

She propped her head with one hand, a rare weariness on her face:

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

"But Shrek raised me after all. How could I ever join your filthy scheme?"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes carried a trace of fatigue, but even more helplessness.

The entire Spirit Pagoda had unanimously decided to target Shrek Academy. As Deputy Tower Master, she was powerless to stop it.

After all, the true rulers of the entire Spirit Pagoda were the Qiangu Family.

Her gaze was tired now. Mentioning Shrek brought to mind that cold, heartless man.

There had clearly been feelings between them, yet he had unhesitatingly chosen that Green Tea.

Leng Yaozhu gently rubbed her brow. Then she suddenly thought of her cheap disciple, who bounced around in front of her every day with a grin.

Thinking of her two disciples, the weariness in Leng Yaozhu's eyes eased a little.

But at that moment, her pupils abruptly contracted, disbelief spreading across her face.

Leng Yaozhu stared quietly into her Spirit Sea. A diary had suddenly appeared within it.

The diary flipped lightly, revealing not only its rules but also the content of its first entry, along with a description of Chen Ye.

"What is this? How did it suddenly appear in my mind? Something that knows past and future? An object that can predict the future?"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered. Her face showed disbelief, but no suspicion.

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

"To place this diary in my mind without me noticing? The holder of this diary must be a terrifying existence."

"And if this diary has no owner, then it must be a legendary Super Artifact."

Leng Yaozhu thought to herself but made no move to touch it. She simply observed the diary quietly, then saw its newest option.

"A Diary Chat Group, where all diary holders can communicate. That's rather interesting."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered, and she tapped into the Diary Chat Group page.

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

[Leng Yaozhu's trust level toward you has reached Level 4. Congratulations, you have received four draw chances.]

"That easy to convince? I suppose it makes sense—she's an Extreme Douluo. Anything that can enter her mind must belong to a god."

"But she's only an Extreme Douluo, without Gu Yue's level of insight. So it's natural for her to trust the Chronospace Diary."

Chen Ye thought to himself, but couldn't help a smile spreading across his face. He had directly gained eight draw chances.

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

At that moment, the second Reward Pool in his mind officially unlocked.

Opening the second pool, Chen Ye glanced at it with curiosity.

Because this second pool was completely different from the first.

The first pool at least revealed what the gold rewards were, but this second pool had five gold rewards—all marked with question marks.

Seeing this, Chen Ye felt a bit helpless, but he didn't need to be told that the gold rewards were definitely good stuff.

"The gold reward from the first pool lets me choose a top-tier Martial Soul. That's the second gold reward. Could I choose a God-level Martial Soul?"

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

"Then, by fusing the two Martial Souls, I might directly obtain the Dragon God Martial Soul."

Chen Ye's eyes flickered, but after hesitating, he chose to spin the first pool six times first.

The roulette wheel appeared and began to spin. As the indicator wobbled, the first three markers stopped quickly.

Two were white rewards, one was yellow. The fourth marker landed on a purple reward.

The fifth marker stopped on a red reward.

And the sixth and final marker, to Chen Ye's astonishment, landed directly on a gold reward.

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a 1,000-year Soul Ring Age increase. Congratulations, Host. You have received a 1,000-year Soul Ring Age increase. Congratulations, Host. You have received one Mysterious Water Pill.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a 10,000-year Soul Ring Age increase. Congratulations, Host. You have received a red reward: a random Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a gold reward: the chance to choose one top-tier Martial Soul.]

Chen Ye stared at the final system notification, his eyes lighting up instantly.

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

But when it came time to choose, Chen Ye hesitated: "I currently have the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, which is known for its strength and dominance."

"So my Second Martial Soul should preferably be a Tool Martial Soul—one I can both use and rely on to aid me in battle."

"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 a weapon soul with the Golden Dragon King's terrifying power was the most perfect solution.

But the problem was, since he wanted to hide the Chronospace Diary, he needed to find a martial soul that was roughly equivalent.

Chen Ye knew of many top-tier martial souls, each one wielded by a powerhouse who dominated their domain.

Yet all of these could be obtained again later from the Reward Pool; this time, his main goal was still to conceal the Chronospace Diary.

After thinking it over for a long time, Chen Ye decided to flip through his family's Family Compendium.

As a top-tier clan, the Chen Family's inherited martial soul, the Myriad Mountains and Rivers Map, was also considered a top-tier martial soul.

Moreover, the Myriad Mountains and Rivers Map possessed not only extremely strong offensive capabilities but also formidable control abilities, making it both an attack-type and control-type martial soul.

However, this thing was useless to Chen Ye. No matter how strong this martial soul was, it couldn't compare to the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul.

Rather than take a useless martial soul that offered little improvement, he might as well find a way to obtain something a bit different.

Aside from normal martial souls, there was another type: the mutated martial soul.

Chen Ye scoured the entire Family Compendium for every powerhouse that had ever appeared.

It wasn't until over a thousand years ago that he finally found one that suited his needs.

That person's martial soul was called the Myriad Swords Diagram. It was a top-tier martial soul, but the weakest among them.

Because this martial soul required either a sword-type divine artifact or a sword-type second martial soul to coordinate with it.

The martial soul itself had very weak offensive power, but it could conceal sword-type martial souls within it, greatly amplifying their might.

To anyone else, this martial soul was a complete waste—except for Chen Ye.

With his lottery system, he could choose his martial soul again.

Seven Kill Sword, Skyfrost Sword, Affectionate Sword, Ruthless Sword, Star God Sword... all of these could be used by him, hidden within the diagram.
