Same as before.
Although Yue Guan and Gui Mei took over the night watch, Su Chen remained sitting outside, waiting for his rewards.
So did Yan.
He was also sitting outside, waiting for a meteor to make a wish...
Ding![Diary: Recording a beautiful life in another world.]
[Distributing rewards…]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: All spirit ring ages increased by 1000 years.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a random reward: Nine Yang Divine Skill.]
[Nine Yang Divine Skill: Once mastered, internal energy regenerates extremely quickly and endlessly. Even basic martial arts moves can unleash immense power. Its defensive abilities are unmatched, automatically forming a protective body that reflects external attacks, making one nearly invincible. It is also a healing holy manual and grants immunity to all poisons.]
"Huh?"
Seeing the system rewards, Su Chen was stunned... The Nine Yang Divine Skill was certainly powerful—self-healing, poison immunity, and an internal energy blue buff? That was like giving wings to a tiger!
But that first reward though?
All spirit rings increased by 1000 years.System, are you freaking kidding me?Do you even know what you're doing?!I feel personally attacked!I'm a Level 15 Spirit Master. I only have one spirit ring!This is straight-up bullying!Damn it!
Su Chen gritted his teeth in frustration and immediately swore to work harder and become a Titled Douluo.
Thankfully…
The Nine Yang Divine Skill came at the perfect time. If he really had to fight Dugu Bo soon, taking him down would be a piece of cake.
A century of Nine Yang Divine Skill, and I ask you, Dugu Bo…Is your poison… fully cooked?
In that moment, realization struck him like a divine epiphany.
Su Chen crossed his legs and began cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill. This powerful internal technique was now his blue buff—it could be used not only for martial arts but also to recover spirit power rapidly.
External cheat +1.
Yan, originally waiting for a meteor to make a wish, saw Su Chen meditating nearby and sneered a bit.
Everyone else is asleep and you're cultivating?Trying to act all strong and hardworking with your Level 15 spirit power?Fine!I'll keep my eyes on you tonight and see how long you can keep this act up.Don't think you can show off in front of Nana!
In the distance—
Yue Guan squinted his eyes, quietly watching Su Chen meditate, a trace of doubt on his face as he muttered:
"Why does this kid have such a powerful force inside him?"
Gui Mei stepped out beside him, his expression serious:
"It's probably some kind of self-created spirit technique cultivation. He's not as simple as he appears."
Yue Guan nodded slightly, saying nothing more. Both he and Gui Mei could sense it—there was a powerful force within Su Chen.
Something Yan couldn't see.
Inside the tent—
Hu Liena peeked her head out, watching Su Chen curiously. She muttered in her heart:"Did he get another reward? Is he cultivating again?"
"Hmph! My reward should be coming too."
[Instance rewards distributing…]
[Congratulations to Bibi Dong: Most mentions in the diary, reward: All spirit ring ages increased by 1000 years.]
[Congratulations to Tang Yuehua: Randomly selected from diary mentions, reward: Spirit power increased by one level.]
[Congratulations to Qian Renxue: Selected as lucky viewer, can define the diary theme once.]
Hu Liena: ???
Hu Liena was completely stunned—watching Su Chen cultivate while the instance rewards appeared in her mind, and she didn't get picked? She was numb.
So frustrating!
Tang Yuehua only showed up in the diary once, how did she get picked?
What kind of dogshit luck is that?
Wait a minute…
Qian Renxue also has a diary instance…Doesn't that mean all of Su Chen's roasting of her and the teacher was seen by Qian Renxue?
She was done for.
She was now facing full-blown social death.
Spirit Hall – Pope's Bedchamber
Bibi Dong sat on her bed in a thin nightgown, holding a glass of red wine, a faint smile on her face.
Just as she was about to take a sip—
Upon hearing the diary reward, she froze, and the wine trickled down her lips, staining her snow-white chest… What a waste!
"Every ring increased by 1000 years… I have sixteen spirit rings…"
"That means, if I get rewards for 100 consecutive days, all my spirit rings on both spirits will surpass 100,000 years?"
"At that point, no one in this world could match me."
Bibi Dong's delicate hands trembled in excitement, gripping the wine glass so hard that it shattered instantly.
"Su Chen, Su Chen… I can hardly wait. Don't let me down!"
Hmm?
Just as Bibi Dong was getting excited, she noticed the other two rewards, and her face darkened again.
She had a diary instance too…
Wait, hold on!
Bibi Dong suddenly clenched her teeth, her expression pained—not only did she see that Qian Renxue had a diary instance, but that she had become… the lucky viewer!
Damn it!
An ominous premonition overwhelmed her. Bibi Dong dashed toward the door, only to stop in her tracks… She wouldn't make it to Heaven Dou in time.
Defeated, Bibi Dong staggered back to her bed and collapsed powerlessly.
Yesterday, Yu Xiaogang had been publicly exposed by Su Chen because of a theme submitted by Liu Erlong, and now the power of defining the theme had fallen to Qian Renxue.
Her eyes were complicated as she muttered to herself:
"She's going to find out after all…"
Yue Pavilion
Tang Yuehua leapt from her bed, excited like a 100-pound child. Her usual noble lady vibe was gone—because honestly? She was just too thrilled.
Thanks to her mutated spirit,
Tang Yuehua's martial spirit had transformed into the Ruyi Ring, and her spirit power was stuck at Level 9, never able to break through. But now… she was at Level 10.
She clenched her small fists, eyes brimming with tears:"Su Chen… Thank you, thank you!"
In Douluo Continent, power is everything.
Although she had long come to terms with her limits, how could she truly let go of that obsession?
Crown Prince's Mansion
Qian Renxue muttered to herself:
"Teacher Yuehua really is lucky. She can finally become a Spirit Master now."
"Lucky viewer, huh? Didn't think I'd hit the jackpot this soon."
Just like Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue couldn't sleep anymore. She stood at the window, gazing up at the moonlit sky.
"She has a diary instance too… Heh."
Qian Renxue smiled bitterly and shook her head. Seeing that woman also had a diary instance pulled her deep into memory.
The first time she called her "Mom," the response was a look of utter disgust. No matter how hard she tried afterward, she never received an ounce of maternal love.
That day, to prove herself, she resolutely left for the Heaven Dou Empire to begin a mission that would last 20 years.
At the time, she was just nine years old. Her father was dead, her mother didn't love her, and she was exiled far from home.
Countless dark nights passed where she cried alone, until she had no more tears left to shed.
...
Snapping back from the memories, Qian Renxue's beautiful face was already streaked with tears—truly a heartbreaking sight.
She whispered:
"Why didn't you ever love me?""Why?""I was just a child too… I wanted your affection. Why did you always hate me so much?"
