Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 87 Gu Yue: I have an older sister? ? ?

The group walked together toward the teaching building.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Gu Yuena had a sudden thought and decided to hide back in Ye Chenxing's mental sea.

After several attempts, there was no response, and Gu Yeqiu beside her began to look at her with strange eyes.

What's wrong, my lord? Why are you standing on your tiptoes?

Gu Yuena's attempt to escape failed, and her eyes twitched slightly as she stared intently at Ye Chenxing's back.

This guy actually unilaterally severed the connection between the Servant and the Spiritual Star Sea!

Ye Chenxing: The real and fake Gu Yuena are in the same frame, how could I let you get away in this situation?

With her escape route cut off, Gu Yuena could only sigh and resign herself to following.

To be honest, she really had a headache and didn't want to face her past self at all.

After all, there aren't many people in this world who can honestly face their own dark past.

Even a magnanimous person like Tang Buddha was immediately disarmed when Ye Chenxing brought up his dark history of stealing from the Tang Sect.

While chatting, Ye Chenxing and Xiao Hongchen had already arrived at the door of Class 1 classroom.

Ye Chenxing scanned the classroom but did not see the original Gu Yuena. Instead, Meng Hongchen was staring blankly at the torrential rain outside the window, her chin resting on her hand.

Meng Hongchen's melancholy... is no less than her brother's.

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, someone in the class shouted, and all the students looked up in unison.

"Holy crap! Boss Morningstar is back!"

"Boss, you've been missing for half a year. How come you've grown so much taller after all that seclusion?"

The once quiet classroom instantly erupted into chaos as a group of students swarmed forward.

Ye Chenxing smiled and casually replied with a few words before pushing through the crowd and walking straight to Meng Hongchen's side.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Meng Hongchen unconsciously stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

But the words caught in my throat.

She stared blankly at Ye Chenxing, the longing suppressed in her heart almost growing wildly like weeds, but when she thought of the chasm between them, the feeling of loss and uncertainty forced her emotions back down.

In the end, all the words I wanted to say were reduced to a slightly hurried greeting.

"You—you've emerged from seclusion."

Seeing the girl's hesitant expression, Ye Chenxing sighed. Considering her behavior before his seclusion and listening to Xiao Hongchen's complaints on the way, how could he not understand Meng Hongchen's current thoughts?

In a place like Douluo Continent where strength reigns supreme, the more top-tier a genius is like Meng Hongchen, the stronger their pride, and the more easily they are hurt by his extraordinary talent.

Moreover, his place in her heart was clearly more than just a friend and classmate.

Why are you so reserved in front of me? It's like I'm bullying you.

Ye Chenxing chuckled softly, naturally raised his hand, and ruffled Meng Hongchen's smooth red hair, saying gently, "Fourth ring in ten thousand years, even your brother has been surpassed by you. It's clear that you've worked very hard."

But I still can't catch up with you...

19

"even..

"7

At this point, Meng Hongchen looked up at Gu Yuena and Gu Yeqiu.

"I even feel like we're drifting further and further apart..."

'

"Who told you that our relationship would change because of our strength?"

Meng Hongchen raised his head blankly.

"If that's how you put it, with my talent, shouldn't I be destined to be alone for life? After all, there's no one on the entire continent who can compare to me, is there?"

This seemingly casual remark, however, seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly shattering the long-suppressed gloom in Meng Hongchen's heart.

All the self-doubt, feelings of unworthiness, and anxiety vanished in that moment.

Meng Hongchen's eyes were slightly red, tears welling up. She sniffed, fighting back the urge to cry, and chuckled softly, "How come after a year of seclusion, you're even more..."

""

"Even more?"

"It's nothing!"

Meng Hongchen's voice was slightly hoarse but filled with undisguised joy: "Actually—I have already broken through to the fifth level of Soul Master."

As she spoke, she took out a delicate and exquisite pendant from her storage soul tool.

"This is something I personally refined and forged using the fire attribute of my martial soul. It's the first level-five soul tool I've ever made, and its effect is to accelerate the soul power recovery speed of fire attribute soul masters—" Meng Hongchen gripped the pendant tightly, looked up at him, and her eyes gradually became firm. "Although it's only level five, it's still my first masterpiece, and I want to give it to you."

Looking at the pure expectation in the girl's eyes, Ye Chenxing's heart stirred slightly. He reached out and took the pendant, putting it around his neck in front of her, and said with a soft smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Seeing that he accepted it, Meng Hongchen finally felt relieved. She suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms and hugged Ye Chenxing tightly.

Ye Chenxing's body stiffened, clearly not expecting this sudden hug, but feeling the sincere emotions in his arms, he paused for a moment, and finally raised his arms to gently hug her back.

Just as this atmosphere was beginning to spread, two extremely unpleasant coughs suddenly came from the classroom doorway.

"Ahem!"

The pleasant atmosphere was instantly shattered. The two separated as if electrocuted, and when they turned around, they saw Lin Jiayi, the head of the teaching department, standing at the door, turning his head away and trying to pretend that he hadn't seen anything.

"Ahem, well—Your Highness Chenxing, you've emerged from seclusion." Lin Jiayi rubbed his hands awkwardly and said quickly, "Um, the Hall Master just told me to call Miss Meng, Young Master Xiao, and Gu Yeqiu to his office. Since Your Highness is here too, then—let's all go together!"

After saying that, the head of the teaching department slipped away and fled the classroom.

Meng Hongchen's already slightly flushed cheeks turned even redder, reaching her ears. She lowered her head and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Let's go."

Inside the office of the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen leaned back in a large leather chair, holding a test report that had just been handed to him. Looking at the data on it, he couldn't help but marvel.

"I really didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this—" Jing Hongchen raised his head and looked at the girl standing in front of the desk. His eyes were full of admiration. "Gu Yue, not only do you have such top-notch martial soul talent, but your speed of improvement in soul tool making is also so fast."

Gu Yue remained calm and bowed slightly: "You flatter me, Hall Master."

Hearing her say that, Jing Hongchen's smile widened, even showing a hint of emotion.

"Young people these days are becoming more and more humble. You and Prince Chenxing are both like that. Your talents in martial soul and soul tool are both exceptional, far surpassing ordinary people, yet you are neither arrogant nor impatient." He sighed and shook his head with a headache. "Unlike my good-for-nothing grandson, who is always so arrogant. If it weren't for you two, he would really be out of control."

Gu Yue followed up, saying, "Master, I've heard quite a few rumors about that Prince Ye in the academy these past few months. If those stories are true, then my talent in soul tools is completely incomparable to his."

"Especially the Star Tower, which he founded, showcases groundbreaking design ideas and core technologies that are truly breathtaking." Gu Yue paused, a hint of curiosity flashing in his deep eyes.

"I just wonder when he will finish his seclusion? If I have the chance, I would love to have a conversation with him in person."

When the Star Tower was mentioned, Jing Hongchen nodded repeatedly in deep agreement.

"Yes, the Star Tower that Morning Star created—" A complex mix of emotions and sighs appeared in Jing Hongchen's eyes. "I never expected that in just a few months, it could cause such a huge upheaval in the Sun and Moon Empire. Its current momentum is almost on par with my Mingde Hall."

Star Tower prioritizes civilian and auxiliary applications. Although it doesn't engage in lethal soul tools, every high-level soul master knows that Star Tower has the capability to manufacture devastating weapons if it can master that level of cutting-edge technology. They just don't want to do it.

If the Star Tower were willing to use sealed milk bottles, soul-guided machine tools, and solar and wind energy for warfare, then the original Douluo Three Kingdoms would immediately enter a countdown to destruction, and even Shrek Academy would be powerless to stop it.

For Soul Masters, who can resist the temptation to explore and research the next generation of technology? This is why so many high-level Soul Masters join the Star Tower one after another.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen felt a surge of emotion.

How long has it been? When they first met, the other party was just a genius prince with a special status, but now, Ye Chenxing has grown to the point where he can almost stand on equal footing with him.

Pulling himself back to reality, Jing Hongchen sighed, "That child has been in seclusion for nine months. He is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life. This time he has entered into deep meditation, which is a rare opportunity. The time he has spent in this state cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, not asking any further questions, but her lowered eyelids concealed the thoughts swirling in her eyes.

"Ye Chenxing—he's really something else."

After deciding to enter the human world, she first spent about two months getting acquainted with it and lying dormant.

If she had some doubts about Ye Chenxing's background at the beginning, she was now completely certain.

This Ye Chenxing is definitely closely related to the supreme god king of another world!

Did he receive some kind of inheritance? Or was he simply a reincarnation of a god-king who was rebuilding his power?

Regardless of the truth, it doesn't matter.

Importantly, she desperately needs such an ally right now.

Judging from Ye Chenxing's current actions, if we had to divide them into camps, even if the other side is not "lawful good," they are by no means the kind of evil person who would stop at nothing.

Although we don't know what the other party's ultimate purpose is in building the Star Tower and setting up the Douluo Continent, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The other party's position is obviously not in harmony with the God Realm that currently controls this plane.

Therefore, her primary task now is to establish contact with this Supreme God-King, engage in in-depth communication, and thereby secure sufficient survival benefits for the Soul Beast race.

Moreover, she was very confident that the other party would also need her help.

After all, there are five God-Kings in the God Realm! Even the Dragon God, who was so powerful back then, was ultimately defeated by their combined forces. How could Ye Chenxing possibly contend with the entire God Realm by himself?

Complementary strengths lead to mutual benefit!

Secretly marveling at her own astonishing wisdom in strategizing, a confident smile unconsciously appeared on Gu Yue's aloof and beautiful face.

Everything is under control!

"Knock knock knock—"

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Gu Yue's daydreaming.

Jing Hongchen suppressed her smile and called out, "Enter."

The office door was pushed open, and Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen walked in first, followed closely by the other four.

"Grandpa!" the brother and sister exclaimed in unison.

Jing Hongchen smiled and nodded, then looked at the four people behind him.

When he recognized the boy in the lead, his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward with delight: "Chenxing, you finally—"

He had only spoken halfway when Jing Hongchen abruptly stopped. He stopped abruptly, his smile turning into deep astonishment as he stared intently at Ye Chenxing's back.

Upon hearing the words "Morning Star," Gu Yue immediately became extremely alert.

She quickly adjusted her posture, put on what she considered her most approachable and perfect smile, and prepared to leave an excellent first impression on this potential ally.

At that moment, she was completely unaware that Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were staring intently at her, so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Gu Yue stepped forward with an impeccable smile: "Hello, Ye————"

Then, the smile on her face froze instantly.

When did a mirror appear at the doorway?

The thought flashed through Gu Yue's mind for only a second before she suddenly realized that it wasn't a mirror at all, but rather... That's right, at that very moment, the original Gu Yue and the Heroic Spirit Gu Yuena's gazes met.

The office fell into a deathly silence.

Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Gu Yeqiu, who had just entered, all turned their heads in unison, their eyes darting back and forth between Gu Yue by the desk and the silver-haired girl at the door, their eyes wide like copper bells.

Ye Chenxing remained expressionless, but subtly gave Gu Yuena behind her a look.

Gu Yuena's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Under the piercing stares of everyone in the room, she took a deep breath and could only steel herself as she stepped forward, managing to stammer out, "Sister, I've come to see you."

younger sister? !

These two words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Mirror Red Dust, Laughing Red Dust, and Dreaming Red Dust: She has an older sister?!

Gu Yeqiu suddenly turned to look at Gu Yue: "You have an older sister?!"

Gu Yue: I...I have an older sister? ??? ???

Seeing that things were about to get chaotic, Ye Chenxing put aside her spectator's mood and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Master, these sisters have been separated for a long time and must have a lot to talk about. Why don't you let them go next door and chat alone?"

Jing Hongchen suddenly came to her senses and nodded repeatedly, even stammering a little: "Okay—alright, you guys go next door."

Gu Yuena was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Gu Yue's hand and half-pulling him towards the outside.

Gu Yue's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water, and he stared intently at Gu Yuena, his eyes practically threatening to kill a dragon.

The two of them, each lost in their own thoughts, walked out of the office without saying a word.
