Diary System—Chapter 69: Dai Yichen: How did the two of them appear here? Butterfly effect?
A few days later, school started.
Zhu Zhuqing entered the first grade of junior college, while Dai Yichen skipped a grade and jumped to the sixth grade of junior college.
He planned to stay in the junior college for another year. With Zhuqing's current talent and the blessing of the Nine Yin Manual's Internal Strength cultivation method, she should be able to enter the intermediate college alongside him in a year.
"Yichen, we'll see you after class. I will work hard this year to catch up with you!" Zhu Zhuqing said confidently. She had finally entered the age of cultivation.
Dai Yichen smiled and pinched her soft cheek, which seemed very intimate to onlookers. Many people knew that they were the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire and the third daughter of the Zhu family. Considering their talents, the Imperial family might grant them marriage soon, so they didn't make a fuss.
However, they were mistaken. Not to mention whether Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for him exceeded mere friendship, he didn't want to be bound by such an engagement. He preferred to let things develop naturally.
Girls: Haha, we won't believe your lies.
In class, Dai Yichen looked at the girl with purple hair and green eyes in front of him and couldn't help but feel slightly startled. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling!
How did the two of them appear here?
Don't ask how he recognized them; they looked almost identical to how he had seen them in his previous life.
The head teacher smiled and said to the two, "Introduce yourselves to the class."
Dugu Yan first scanned the classroom. Finally, her gaze fell upon Dai Yichen, her eyes lighting up slightly. So handsome!
This was her first impression, which was different from how she viewed him while watching the video in the diary. The real person seemed even more handsome or cooler than the one in the video, exuding a certain sharpness.
"My name is Dugu Yan. I transferred from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and my martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Please give me your guidance."
Ye Lingling's face remained relatively calm, yet it did not conceal her stunning beauty. She spoke in a cold tone. "My name is Ye Lingling, my martial soul is the Nine Heart Flowering Apple, and I come from the same academy as Dugu Yan."
The head teacher noticed Dugu Yan's interest and realized why she wanted to join this class.
"Dugu Yan, you can sit next to him." The head teacher pointed to the empty seat next to Dai Yichen.
Ye Lingling sat on the other side, very close to Dai Yichen, with an aisle in between.
Dai Yichen: …
Dugu Yan smiled internally and casually sat down next to Dai Yichen. She greeted him with a smile, saying, "Hello."
Dai Yichen replied politely, "Hello, my name is Dai Yichen. Please give me your guidance."
Although Dai Yichen stated his name calmly, if one looked closely, one would notice his eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing a hint of confusion.
He originally wanted to ask Dugu Yan why she had suddenly transferred from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. This was different from the original story, but he considered that since they had only just met, they weren't familiar enough yet.
However, Dugu Yan's next words made him understand.
"I've heard of you, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Imperial Family, blessed with innate full soul power, a mutated martial soul, and rapid improvement in cultivation. I'm very curious." Dugu Yan leaned slightly closer to Dai Yichen and whispered.
Butterfly effect!
He understood!
System: No, you don't understand.
Dai Yichen nodded lightly, but he had already started writing in his diary. This shocked him—or perhaps it was a pleasant surprise!
[Today is the first day of school. I met two unexpected people in class. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling have transferred from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. They said it was because I caught her attention. Has my charm reached this level?]
Girls: …
Dugu Yan looked at him strangely. Strictly speaking, Dai Yichen wasn't wrong; he was indeed quite charming and not narcissistic.
His appearance, ability, talent, etc., were the best she had ever seen. Of course, the most important point was that Dai Yichen would likely be able to help her and her grandfather detoxify in the future.
She came there with that goal in mind, but she also wanted to let things develop naturally. She didn't want to be overly utilitarian, just hoping to become friends with Dai Yichen.
Being overly utilitarian might cause him to dislike her and lead her to lose herself. She thought of herself as not being that kind of person. Coming here was also giving her a chance to reconnect.
The other girls were taken aback. Is it really okay for you to transfer so openly?
For the first time, they wished their cultivation levels were a bit lower—low enough for the gap between themselves and Dai Yichen to be within ten levels.
But this was just a thought. Many of them came from different factions in the Heaven Dou Empire, making transfer difficult. For example, the academies where Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were enrolled wouldn't allow them to transfer easily.
When Zhu Zhuqing saw this, she couldn't help but pout, feeling a wave of jealousy in her heart.
[And the reason why Ye Lingling also transferred here is likely that she has a close relationship with Dugu Yan. She transferred to accompany her. I have to thank Dugu Yan for bringing a contemporary soul master with a Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul from the Heaven Dou Empire for me.]
[The Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul can be compared to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul as it possesses robust healing abilities. However, it shares the same defect as the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul: it is passed down through one lineage, allowing only one person in each generation to have this martial soul.]
[After school, I must mention this to my father and arrange the best resources for training. It is said that if the Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul reaches its peak, it can restore someone as long as they still have a breath. Unfortunately, the defects of her martial soul are too significant. This plane does not permit large numbers of soul masters with such martial souls; otherwise, they would serve as mobile healing packs.]
[This defect is not like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul, which can be resolved with just one immortal herb. Instead, it involves the plane's rules. The common understanding of martial soul inheritance implies inheriting the higher quality martial soul of the parents; the Nine Heart Flowering Apple martial soul contradicts this rule. Without plane suppression, it cannot occur.]
[To address this issue, I must wait until I reach level 100 to see if the system has other solutions. It's a shame that Ye Lingling, who possesses such a powerful spirit, plays only a minor role in the original work.]
[However, this is quite normal. Ye Lingling's training speed is completely inferior to that of the protagonist group, and the special nature of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple "Regeneration of flesh and bones, and bringing death back to life with a single breath" cannot be fully utilized. If Ye Lingling cultivates her martial soul to the level of Title Douluo and restricts the healing ability to one person, even if that person's arm is broken or their heart is pierced, as long as their head remains, they could regrow a new arm or heart and recover instantly!]
