Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 190 New Self-Created Soul Skill
Faced with Ye Guyi's question, Gu Yuena paused in her packing, then nodded slightly and uttered a few words in her cool and indifferent tone.

"Okay, I'm going home."

Ye Guyi became even more curious.

She blinked her bright, large eyes and pressed for an answer:

"Speaking of which, Gu Yue, I never knew where you were from?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Gu Yuena is always shrouded in mystery.

She was powerful, beautiful, and aloof, yet seemed to belong to no corner of this world.

Upon hearing Ye Guyi's question, Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly.

She raised her head, her deep purple eyes calmly looking at Ye Guyi, and slowly said:
"Hmm... I don't belong to any empire on the Douluo Continent."

"We... could be considered a reclusive sect."

She gave a half-true, half-false answer.

It doesn't belong to any human empire, that's the truth.

As for the "hidden sect," that was just an excuse made up on the spot to satisfy Ye Guyi's insatiable curiosity.

"Oh...so it's a hidden sect, alright."

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Guyi indeed stopped asking questions.

She may be naive, but she's not stupid.

She knew that there were indeed some unknown, ancient, and reclusive sects or families on the mainland.

They do not participate in worldly disputes and rarely have contact with the outside world.

Since the other party has gone into seclusion, they must not want outsiders to know too much about their sect.

She does have that much emotional intelligence.

Seeing Ye Guyi's obedient expression of sudden realization and her willingness to stop asking questions, Yin Chen almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He was secretly overjoyed.

'This little angel... was completely fooled by Gu Yue.'

'A hidden sect? That's not entirely wrong.'

'Isn't the Forbidden Land of the Star Dou Great Forest a "super sect" that has been passed down for millions of years, isolated from the world, and absolutely not belonging to any human empire?'

Gu Yuena's true identity is probably only known to herself and him, the transmigrator who has read the original script, in this Shrek Academy where hidden talents abound.

He, Gu Yuena, and Ye Guyi.

A transmigrator, a lurking master of soul beasts in the human world, and an angelic martial soul inheritor secretly nurtured by a former god.

The combination of the three of them is really interesting.

As night fell, Shrek City was ablaze with lights. The final gathering before departure came to a close in a lively and warm atmosphere.

Ye Guyi burped contentedly, the sadness of parting long since washed away by the delicious food.

The Lan sisters chattered excitedly, discussing where they would go for the holiday.

Gu Yuena remained quiet, but there seemed to be a softer light in her deep purple eyes than usual.

After escorting Ye Guyi and the Lan sisters back to their dormitory, Yin Chen and Gu Yuena walked side by side along the shore of Sea God Lake.

"I'm leaving."

Gu Yuena stopped in her tracks, her clear, cold voice echoing in the night.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Yin Chen nodded.

Gu Yuena didn't say anything more, but just gave him a deep look. Then, her figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Yin Chen stood alone, watching her leave, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

He did not return to his dormitory immediately.

He was leaving the academy tomorrow and embarking on his journey home, but before that, there was one important thing he needed to do.

He turned and walked in the exact opposite direction from the dormitory—that was where Shrek Academy's outer library was located.

Yin Chen's purpose for this trip is very clear.

He was going to borrow a few books to take back to Xingluo City to read.

Because he is currently conceiving a brand new self-created soul skill.

For this reason, he consulted Wang Yan, who was hailed as a master of theory.

He still remembers the look of shock and fervor on the face of Wang Yan, a teacher who was usually gentle and refined, when he told her his vague, preliminary ideas.

Wang Yan spent the entire afternoon repeatedly deducing and calculating with him.

Ultimately, Wang Yan came to a conclusion that even he found chilling.

"Yin Chen, your idea... is too crazy, and too ingenious."

Wang Yan's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"If, and I mean if, you can actually create this soul skill successfully, then its power, in theory, will absolutely not be inferior to any powerful offensive soul skill of the 100,000-year level."

There's not much I can do to help you.

Wang Yan finally spoke frankly.

"Because your thinking has exceeded the scope of conventional soul skill theory that I can understand, I can only give you some directional suggestions. The rest is up to you to find inspiration in the vast amount of knowledge and to explore and improve through repeated practice."

"Read more books."

Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder solemnly.

"Especially those ancient rare books about the essence of soul skills, the structure of soul power, and the origin of martial souls. Shrek Academy's library is one of the most valuable knowledge bases on the entire continent. Go there and find your answers."

It was because of Wang Yan's words that Yin Chen came to the library again before the holiday.

He walked along the stone path leading to the library, his mind replaying the concept of his self-created soul skill, refining every detail.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, several familiar voices came from not far ahead.

It's Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.

The three of them seemed to have just said goodbye to their friends and were returning to their dormitory together.

Upon seeing them, Yin Chen snapped out of his thoughts, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he greeted them.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao."

Upon hearing his voice, the three of them stopped and turned around at the same time.

"Monitor."

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao shouted almost in unison, their tone full of respect.

Even Wang Dong, who was always proud and arrogant, put away his unruly demeanor when he saw Yin Chen, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

He admired Yin Chen.

This admiration wasn't just because of Yin Chen's unfathomable strength and unparalleled prestige in the class.

An even more important reason lies in Yin Chen's attitude towards Huo Yuhao.

From the moment the classes were reassigned, Yin Chen never looked down on Huo Yuhao in the slightest, unlike the other students in the class, because of Huo Yuhao's mediocre ten-year soul ring and low cultivation level.

On the contrary, Wang Dong could sense that Yin Chen seemed to be paying more attention to Huo Yuhao.
