Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 76 Famous Quotes
Xie Huanyue felt a strange suction force coming from the direction of Yin Chen's palm, and his defensive soul power seemed to be forcibly torn apart by something and surged toward that point.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable sharpness came over me.

"laugh--!"

With a soft sound, Xie Huanyue's thick skin and defensive soul power, which were strong enough to withstand the full force of a powerful offensive Soul Master, were easily sliced ​​open like a hot knife cutting through butter.

There was no blood, but the precise cut and the sharp pain that instantly broke through his defenses sent a chill down Xie Huanyue's spine.

His prized defense proved utterly ineffective against Yin Chen's bizarre energy blade.

You should know that he was confident he could withstand even an attack from the Soul Sect.

Yin Chen did not pursue, but instead flashed again. The wind of time transformed into countless tiny wind blades, which clung to Xie Huan Yue like a malignant tumor, constantly testing and cutting into his weak points in defense, forcing him to bring out the defensive power and flexibility of the Pipi Elephant Martial Soul to the extreme.

Xie Huanyue also gave it his all, charging, trampling, and waving his elephant trunk, using all his skills. Although he could never touch Yin Chen's clothes, his tenacious fighting spirit and solid defensive foundation were truly on full display.

This one-on-one contest lasted for several minutes and appeared extremely intense to outsiders. Xie Huanyue used all his skills, while Yin Chen calmly dealt with the situation by relying on his ability to foresee the future and his ability to control the winds of time.

Finally, just as Xie Huanyue's soul power was nearly exhausted and his movements became slightly sluggish, a glint of light flashed in Yin Chen's eyes.

He dodged another lunge, then instantly closed in, the dangerous transparent fluctuation at the edge of his palm reappearing—an overpressure air blade.

This time, the air blade stopped precisely half an inch in front of Xie Huanyue's throat, which was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The deadly cutting sensation and the suction of the air being torn apart made Xie Huanyue's whole body stiffen, rendering him unable to move.

"I lost."

Xie Huanyue said with a bittersweet yet relieved tone.

He tried his best.

Yin Chen dispelled the energy blade in his hand and nodded slightly: "You flatter me."

Almost at the same moment that Xie Huanyue conceded defeat, the dust settled instantly on the other side of the battlefield.

Gu Yuena flicked her silver dragon spear, sweeping the struggling Luo Tianlong out of the circle.

Ye Guyi unleashed a burst of holy light, delivering a succinct hand chop to Luo Tianba's sword arm. Under the impact of the holy energy, Luo Tianba groaned and flew backward, losing all fighting ability upon landing.

The battle is over.

Team Yin Chen has advanced to the semi-finals.

The referee announced the result loudly.

On the viewing platform, many teachers nodded slightly.

Although Xie Huanyue lost, his defensive capabilities and unwavering will in the face of powerful enemies clearly left a good impression on them.

The Yin Chen team's skillful, well-organized, and absolutely powerful strength left a deep impression on everyone.

After this match, they only need to win two more to secure the championship. Among their upcoming opponents, the only team with a Soul Master is Dai Huabin's team, a familiar foe.

At this moment, Dai Huabin, along with Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, walked straight up to Yin Chen.

His gaze was piercing, filled with undisguised fighting spirit, and he said in a deep voice, "Yin Chen, this time, I will not lose again."

Upon hearing this, Yin Chen's lips curved into a very faint smile, not as a mockery, but as a calm stemming from absolute confidence.

He suddenly recalled a line from his past life that resonated with his feelings, and with a touch of mischievousness, he said softly: "An enemy who is defeated by me is never considered an opponent by me."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone present, carrying an indescribable sense of detachment and arrogance.

I'll give you time to catch up.

He calmly looked at Dai Huabin, whose eyes had suddenly sharpened, and slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"Until you...disappear from sight."

The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.

Dai Huabin's face darkened visibly, turning ashen.

How come he never noticed before that Yin Chen was not only strong, but also incredibly skilled at pretending... no, at saying such things?

The disdain in those words stung him even more than direct mockery.

In stark contrast to him, Cui Yajie, the alluring and enchanting nine-tailed fox spirit master beside him, had her beautiful eyes light up with a sparkle. Her gaze fell directly on Yin Chen's calm yet handsome face, scrutinizing him with great interest.

Even Gu Yuena, who was standing next to Yin Chen, turned her head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes, as if she were re-evaluating this teammate who usually seemed gentle and composed.

Ye Guyi's eyes lit up, and she almost clapped her hands in her heart, feeling that these words were simply... exactly to her liking.

She has decided that if she has the opportunity in the future, she will "requisition" the copyright to this sentence.

Completely devastated by Yin Chen's seemingly casual yet weighty remark, Dai Huabin could only manage a cold snort through gritted teeth before turning away with a dark face and leaving without looking back.

Zhu Lu immediately followed, glancing back at Yin Chen with a complicated expression.

Before turning to leave, Cui Yajie paused slightly, glanced back at Yin Chen, and winked her left eye gently. Her eyes were full of charm and captivating allure.

"Hmph, vixen."

Upon seeing this, Ye Guyi immediately snorted coldly, her tone filled with undisguised displeasure.

Gu Yuena also frowned almost imperceptibly, a hint of coldness flashing in her clear purple eyes, clearly displeased with Cui Yajie's blatant and seductive behavior.

As for Yin Chen himself, he didn't show much reaction on his face.

Cui Yajie was indeed beautiful and charming, but for him, that was all.

Can anyone be as beautiful as Gu Yuena?
At dawn, the first rays of magnificent rosy light spread across the eastern horizon, announcing the start of a new day.

Yin Chen ate his breakfast at a leisurely pace, and then, as usual, meditated on his soul power for a while before setting off for the assessment area.

When he met up with Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi, he found that the audience seats were much more crowded and noisy than in the previous days.

It's no wonder that the teams that made it to the top four were all among the best of this year's freshmen, naturally attracting more attention.

When all twelve freshmen who made it to the final four stood in line, the appearance of a certain figure invigorated all the students.

Today's lottery draw was not conducted by Du Weilun, the Dean of Instruction of the Martial Soul Department of the Outer Academy, but by a middle-aged man dressed in simple white clothes, with a gentle and refined temperament and eyes as deep as the sea.

It was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Spirit Department of Shrek Academy, whom Yin Chen had met once before in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze swept gently across the entire room, lingering slightly on Gu Yuena, Ye Guyi, and Yin Chen.
