Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 210 Twin Martial Spirits
Upon hearing Yin Chen's voice, the head referee trembled violently.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The bone-chilling cold that permeated everything made even this powerful seventh-ring Soul Saint shiver.

He had an incredibly terrifying feeling. If that chill had been directed at him, even if he had activated his Martial Soul True Body immediately, he probably would have been frozen solid.

The best outcome would be to break free from the ice seal by relying on powerful soul energy.

But Yin Chen is only a Soul Master, yet he is already able to control a Soul Saint. What does that mean?
What kind of power was that? It wasn't just terrifying offensive power, but even more frightening was its unreasonable and absolute suppressive force.

It combines aggressive attack and control in the most perfect and violent way.

No wonder... no wonder he dared to call himself a strong offensive control type.

This year's freshmen from the School of Foreign Languages ​​have produced a truly extraordinary little monster.

The referee was inwardly turbulent, but outwardly maintained his professional demeanor.

He took a deep breath and, in a slightly hoarse voice, announced loudly towards the platform:
"Second Grade, Class One, Yin Chen, challenged the thousand-year-old soul beast, the Flaming Lion, and succeeded. His performance was... perfect."

He paused, glanced at the ice sculpture with a complicated expression, and then loudly announced his final verdict.

"The chief examiner and the judging panel unanimously decided that Yin Chen passed the assessment, with a final score of... 150 points."

That's right, 150 points.

The score announcement once again caused an uproar outside the arena.

On the high platform, Director Du Weilen timely picked up the megaphone, and his authoritative voice resounded throughout the entire venue:

"The assessment rules state that the maximum score for this assessment is not 100 points. The soul beasts that students choose to challenge are based on a hundred-year unit. For every hundred years of cultivation improvement, students will receive 10 base points. A thousand-year soul beast will receive 100 base points. In addition, the judging panel will give a maximum of 50 points for the student's performance in the battle. The two scores will be added together to determine the final score."

He paused, then cast an approving glance at Yin Chen in the arena:
"Student Yin Chen, you challenged the most difficult thousand-year-old soul beast and killed it instantly with lightning speed. The process was clean and efficient, without any delay, demonstrating perfect control over your own power. Your combat score is out of 50 points, for a total of 150 points."

Amidst Du Weiren's explanation and final pronouncement, Yin Chen stepped off the arena.

Wherever he went, all the trainees instinctively stepped aside to make way for him.

Their eyes were filled with awe.

Yin Chen ignored the stares and walked straight back to Class One's group.

He spotted Ye Guyi, who was still in a daze, at a glance. Her usually bright and spirited eyes were wide open, and her mouth was slightly agape, as if her worldview had been shattered.

Suddenly feeling playful, Yin Chen walked up to her, raised his hand, and made a celebratory high-five gesture.

Ye Guyi was still immersed in great shock. Almost instinctively, she subconsciously raised her hand and slapped Yin Chen's palm together with a crisp sound.

It wasn't until she felt a warm touch in her palm that she suddenly realized what was happening.

"wrong."

She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbed Yin Chen's arm, and loudly questioned him:

"Yin Chen, when did you acquire ice attributes? Have you been hiding something from us?!"

"It wouldn't be considered hiding it."

Yin Chen withdrew his hand and said with an innocent look on his face.

"My second martial soul is of the ice attribute."

"A second martial soul?!"

"Twin Martial Souls?!" These two words, like a depth charge, stirred up an even more terrifying uproar in the crowd that had just calmed down.

If the extreme ice just now was shocking, then the words "twin martial souls" brought horror.

"You...you...you actually have twin martial souls, and you said you weren't hiding it from us."

Ye Guyi pointed at Yin Chen, so angry that she could barely speak, feeling that she had been deceived.

"You didn't even ask."

Yin Chen shrugged, his expression utterly innocent.

"I……"

Ye Guyi was speechless, her pretty face turning bright red, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Yes, who would have thought that a classmate you spend every day with would be a genius with twin martial souls, one in a million?
This is completely outside the scope of what a normal person would ask.

"Brother Yin Chen, you have twin martial souls, how come we didn't know?"

The two sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, also gathered around, their faces filled with grievance and frustration.

They considered themselves Yin Chen's childhood sweethearts, the closest of friends, yet they were kept in the dark about such a big thing.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, on the other side of the crowd, shared the same thoughts.

Dai Huabin seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he was somewhat dazed.

He was also a classmate who grew up with Yin Chen. In the primary academy of the Star Luo Empire, he challenged this white-haired boy who always outshone him countless times, and without exception, he always ended up being defeated.

He always thought it was just because the other party's martial spirit was too strange.

He had never imagined, nor dared to imagine, that the other party actually possessed a hidden martial soul.

"That bastard...he really hid it well..."

Dai Huabin's lips trembled slightly, and his voice was so low that only he could hear it.

Originally, he still held onto a sliver of hope, believing that as long as he cultivated diligently, he would one day surpass Yin Chen and wash away the shame of the past.

But now, the words "twin martial souls" are like an insurmountable mountain, crashing down and crushing all his pride and hope to dust.

They were never a match to begin with, and now they've discovered that their opponent's trump cards are far more terrifying than they imagined. How can they possibly catch up? How can they possibly surpass them?

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped his heart.

Faced with the resentful glares from the twin sisters, Yin Chen simply smiled and reached out to ruffle their heads simultaneously, instantly turning their long, smooth blue hair into a messy bird's nest.

"There are many things you don't know."

He said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of intimacy and reassurance.

This action successfully provoked an even more indignant glare from the two sisters, as well as a coquettish complaint as they frantically tidied their hair.

Yin Chen's secret is far more complex than just having twin martial souls.

He has too many real secrets.

What he presents to the world is always just a tiny corner floating on the surface of the sea.

Even Princess Xu Jiujiu of Xingluo, who had already officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him, only knew the tip of the iceberg.
