Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong coldly stared at the rules laid out by the diary before her. Anyone with Soul Power more than ten levels higher than Dai Yichen was forbidden from approaching him?
What if she insisted on doing so?!
She had inherited the Rakshasa Godhood. Though her strength was currently suppressed, she was no pushover before this thing—whatever it was!
Yet the moment she took her first step, an inexplicable pressure descended upon her. Refusing to accept this, Bibi Dong slowly released nine soul rings and pushed her Soul Power to its limit.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly at the empty air. "Just a bit of pressure? Who exactly is putting on this act and playing tricks?!"
BOOM!
As soon as Bibi Dong spoke, an even more powerful Soul Power pressure crashed down upon her, shattering all eight of her soul rings!
Pfft!
Bibi Dong's face instantly turned deathly pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The agony of having nine soul rings shattered nearly made her pass out.
The Soul Power fluctuations produced on Bibi Dong's side also caught the attention of the guards outside.
"Your Holiness the Pope, has... has something happened?" the two guards outside the hall asked nervously.
Bibi Dong forcibly drew a breath and said coldly, "Nothing! I will be entering seclusion to cultivate for some time. Once the Chrysanthemum Ghost Elders return, have them come see me!"
"Yes!"
Though the two guards were doubtful, they did not dare disobey Your Holiness the Pope's orders and replied respectfully.
Bibi Dong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked into the empty air, a trace of fear rising in her heart.
Bibi Dong: I'm behaving now. Please spare me!
Fortunately, her soul rings had only shattered once and would recover after a few days. If they shattered several more times, they would be completely ruined.
The shattered soul rings were a minor matter. She had suffered backlash now, and she would likely need quite a while to recuperate.
At the same time, this filled her with awe toward this so-called system. What exactly was this thing, and why did she not have the slightest ability to resist it?
Dragging her heavily injured body, Bibi Dong headed toward the rear of the hall.
Fortunately, she had plenty of medicinal herbs that accelerated recovery from injuries, so there was no need to seek out a healing-type Soul Master. No one could be allowed to learn of this!
All sorts of things were happening across the continent, even on Sea God Island beyond the continent.
Some watched for entertainment, some were curious, and some were involved firsthand and wanted to learn more.
In any case, regardless of whether the contents recorded in the diary were true or false, they only needed to persist for a month to find out whether what the Diary System said was real.
As for Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, things were even simpler. The two of them were closest to Dai Yichen. As long as the diary mentioned them most often, either of them could verify whether it was true.
Star Luo Empire, Dai Yichen's Bedroom Palace.
At this moment, Dai Yichen was studying his Diary System, checking what good items the so-called points shop contained.
Low-Level Body Tempering Fluid: 100 points
500-Year XX Soul Bone: 1,000 points
1,000-Year XX Soul Bone: 10,000 points
10,000-Year XX Soul Bone: 100,000 points
Dai Yichen looked over the so-called points shop. There were quite a lot of items, and many were things he needed. What he really coveted were the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, but unfortunately, even a random piece started at no less than a million points.
The moment Dai Yichen saw that, he instantly wilted. He silently asked, System, aside from writing a diary every day, are there any other ways to earn points?
No.
Dai Yichen: Tsk, how long would it take him to accumulate enough points for one piece?
Still, he was only six years old, so there was no rush to obtain Soul Bones. Unless absolutely necessary, he would save these points and see in a few years whether he had enough.
In his view, the shop's items were secondary. What mattered most was what the system rewarded each day. As long as he kept writing, it was bound to produce something good eventually, right?
Next, Dai Yichen summoned his Martial Soul, the White Tiger Psychic Lock.
He had not had the chance to properly study it in the main hall just now.
After sensing it for a moment, he found that his Soul Power had directly risen to level fourteen due to his first soul ring. Not bad.
With his current Soul Power, he should be able to directly summon Tiger's Roar Flash. He could also use the Flash Spirit Art, though its power was likely determined by his current Soul Power and definitely would not compare to Feng Yao's.
Feng Yao: Jealous of my strength? I traded my brains for it.
Zhu Family.
After resting briefly, Dai Yichen arrived here under the old man's guidance.
After the Zhu Family servants announced his arrival, Dai Yichen soon saw two girls, one older and one younger, walk out wearing black-and-purple fitted outfits.
No—upon seeing Dai Yichen, Zhu Zhuqing immediately ran over and asked expectantly, "Brother Yichen, have you finished your Martial Soul Awakening?"
This was Zhu Zhuqing's first time acting. Her little heart pounded wildly, and she hardly dared look Dai Yichen in the eyes. Besides, she noticed that Brother Yichen seemed to have grown quite a bit taller?
Dai Yichen fell silent for a moment. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun said, "Younger Brother Yichen, don't stand outside. Let's go into the courtyard. I've already had someone prepare tea."
In the courtyard, Dai Yichen looked at Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to tease her a little, so he said, "Zhuqing, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
At his words, Zhu Zhuqing pouted, putting on a troubled expression as she glanced at her older sister.
Zhu Zhuyun smiled. "Younger Brother Yichen, stop teasing Zhuqing. Just look at her."
Zhu Zhuyun usually got along quite well with Dai Yichen, but they had rarely spent time alone together. After all, Zhu Zhuyun was now betrothed to Dai Weisi, so they had to avoid suspicion.
Dai Yichen said, "The bad news is that I didn't awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately panicked. "Ah? Then, Brother Yichen, does that mean I'll be promised to that Third Prince I've never even met?"
Dai Yichen stopped teasing her and continued, "The good news is that I have decent talent—Innate Full Soul Power. So Father Emperor agreed not to promise you to Third Brother. Instead, the two of us will compete fairly, and after you awaken your Martial Soul in a year, you can choose for yourself."
Compete fairly?
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face immediately flushed. She pursed her lips, lowered her head shyly, and murmured, "What do you mean, compete fairly...?"
Zhu Zhuqing had originally been focused on the words "Innate Full Soul Power," but after hearing what came next, her little head began to feel dizzy. Was she supposed to choose between Brother Yichen and the Third Prince?
Although Zhu Zhuyun was shocked by the Star Luo Emperor's decision, she quickly came back to her senses. Her eyes widened as she stared at Dai Yichen. "You said you have Innate Full Soul Power? Younger Brother Yichen, what Martial Soul did you awaken?"
In the history of the Star Luo Imperial Family, there had never been a prince with Innate Full Soul Power—not even one with Innate Soul Power Level Nine. Yet the Third Prince, Dai Mubai, having Innate Soul Power Level Eight was already considered exceptionally talented!
