Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 56 Familiar Recipe

As Yin Chen listened to the introductions of the students in front of him, a slight doubt arose in his heart.

'Han Ruoruo? She's here to be the class advisor for the Foreign Languages ​​Department?'

He recalled carefully, and it seemed that this passage did not exist at this point in the original work.

'Could it be... another effect of my actions? Has the academy's teaching schedule changed as a result?'

Although he had some doubts, he did not delve into them, but instead focused more on the silver-haired girl who had not yet taken the stage.

Soon, it was her turn.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, the silver-haired girl calmly stood up and walked lightly to the podium.

After she stood still, her gaze calmly swept across the front of her. There was no tension or fear in her amethyst-like eyes, only a deep, tranquil stillness.

Her lips parted slightly, and a clear, melodious voice, like the flowing of an icy spring, rang out in the classroom, concise and to the point:

"Gu Yuena, Martial Soul: Silver Dragon, Level 35, Control-type Battle Soul Master."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire classroom fell into a deathly silence.

The name Gu Yuena, along with the Silver Dragon Martial Soul and the number 35, was like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's minds.

Which one of those who can enter Shrek Academy isn't a proud and arrogant genius?

But at this moment, all their pride seemed so pale, powerless, and vulnerable in the face of Gu Yuena's nonchalant self-introduction.

No one doubted that she was lying, because at Shrek Academy, such an easily exposed lie was meaningless.

Moreover, the calm and composed expression on the face of the homeroom teacher, Han Ruoruo, as if she had expected it, also confirmed the authenticity of the information.

At this moment, Yin Chen was far more shocked than his classmates.

But what shocked him most was not Gu Yuena's level 35 soul power, but the name "Gu Yuena" itself.

'Gu Yuena?! The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena?!'

Yin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, almost uncontrollably.

'Shouldn't she be resting and recuperating in the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest right now? How did she end up here? And even transformed into human form, becoming a freshman at Shrek Academy?!'

Silver hair and purple eyes, unparalleled beauty, silver dragon martial soul... all the features are a perfect match.

The aloof and noble young woman before him was none other than Gu Yuena, the Soul Beast Lord, the half-dragon god, and the Silver Dragon King, whom he knew.

Yin Chen's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, his mind a complete mess.

'It's one thing for Ye Guyi to appear early... but my butterfly flapping its wings is a bit too forceful! How did it manage to bring out this great god who's still 'casting' ahead of time?!'

This unexpected turn of events caught him completely off guard.

It seems that he is destined to stir up the waters of Shrek Academy into an increasingly murky place.

Looking at Gu Yuena on the podium with a calm expression, he felt a mix of emotions, including an unprecedented sense of vigilance and... a hint of indescribable excitement.

Following the sensation caused by Gu Yuena, the self-introductions continued.

When it was Ye Guyi's turn, she walked briskly to the podium, her voice clear and bright:

"Ye Guyi, Martial Soul, Holy Angel, Level 34, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Venerable."

"Holy Angel?!"

A suppressed gasp rose from the audience once again.

This martial spirit is so renowned; it's a legendary top-tier super martial spirit, possessing inherent divine and light attributes, and has practically become a legend on the continent.

Her level 34 soul power also demonstrated her undeniable talent. Everyone looked at Ye Guyi with amazement; this Class 6 of freshmen today was simply a gathering of monsters.

Finally, it was Yin Chen's turn, who was sitting in the back row.

He calmly stood up, walked to the front of the podium, and his gaze swept across the front of him with a calm expression.

"Yin Chen, Martial Soul: Ruler of Time, Level 38, Control-type Battle Soul Venerable."

"The Rule of Time?"

The unfamiliar name of this martial spirit left most students bewildered. They had never heard of it before and could not sense its strength from the name alone.

However, the number "thirty-eight" weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

It is taller than Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi.

Moreover, he is a control-type Soul Master, an eleven-year-old level thirty-eight control-type Soul Master.

What a terrifying concept this is!

The crowd, which had been somewhat agitated because of Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi, fell completely silent at this moment, their gazes toward Yin Chen filled with awe and disbelief.

At this point, all three Soul Masters of Class Six had made their appearance, standing like three towering mountains and instantly setting the tone for the class.

Class teacher Han Ruoruo walked forward with a satisfied smile on her face:
"Very good. It seems that our Class Six is ​​truly full of hidden talents. According to the academy's custom and the principle of respecting strength, the position of class monitor will be held by Yin Chen, the student with the highest cultivation level in our class."

Then, her gaze turned to Gu Yuena.

"Gu Yuena will serve as the vice class monitor. Does anyone have any objections to this?"

The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was awestruck by the strength of these three Soul Masters, and naturally no one objected to this decision.

In Douluo Continent, strength is the most fundamental principle, so it is perfectly reasonable for the two strongest individuals to serve as class leaders.

Yin Chen and Gu Yuena didn't say anything about it, which can be considered as tacit agreement.

However, just as Han Ruoruo was about to begin the formal lesson, an unusual commotion and noise came from outside the classroom window.

Yin Chen and the others subconsciously looked out the window—and saw a group of students wearing white freshman uniforms appearing in Shrek Square in front of the freshman teaching building. They were lined up in a not-so-neat line, and their faces showed obvious depression, reluctance, and even some resentment. They were running around the huge square.
"What...are they doing? Running?"

"This is only the first class, right? What's going on?"

Several students near the window couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their faces filled with curiosity and confusion.

Han Ruoruo also noticed the commotion outside the window. She walked to the window, glanced at it, then shook her head helplessly and sighed softly.

The teaching method of Ms. Zhou Yi, who is "renowned" in the School of Foreign Languages, is truly... unique.

Making such a big fuss for the first day of school, having the students run together, truly lives up to its reputation.

Yin Chen looked out the window at the "spectacle" scene, his lips twitching slightly, feeling utterly speechless.

'As expected... it's the same old recipe, the same old taste.'

He secretly thought.

'Thank goodness, thank goodness I wasn't assigned to the same class.'

He didn't want to become a "funny" for other students on the first day of school, running laps in the square under the scorching sun.

In comparison, being able to attend classes peacefully in the classroom and listen to Han Ruoruo's gentle and soft-spoken teachings is like heavenly treatment.
