Of course, not everyone thought that way. Some women with more indifferent temperaments did not have such thoughts.

"Don't be envious. Rongrong, you're using a 2x Training Card right now, so don't waste it." After sighing, Xiao Wu remembered that the Cultivation Card only lasted one day and immediately told Ning Rongrong.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded. "Xiao Wu, what about you? Aren't you using yours now?"

"I'll use it later." Xiao Wu shook her head. Rongrong had already used hers, which had been a little rushed. Xiao Wu could wait until she had plenty of time before using hers.

"Alright, then I'll go back to my room first." Ning Rongrong immediately agreed.

She also knew that this Cultivation Card was something that could only be encountered by chance. She did not know whether there would still be one from tomorrow's sign-in, so she could not waste it.

Leaving aside what was happening with the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy, Qian Renxue in the Heaven Dou Empire's palace had roughly understood the matter of the Diary Instance. She immediately sent someone to contact Spirit Hall to verify whether it was true and whether that woman had received the Diary Instance just like she had.

"Was this world truly created by another world?" Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, watched the subordinate she had dispatched leave before slowly walking to the window and gazing into the distance.

When she had first obtained this Diary, she had been extremely surprised. After reading it, she had been even more skeptical.

However, after carefully exploring it, she now believed more than half of it, because she had also received a reward from the System Check-in.

She slowly extended her hand, and a golden card floated in her palm.

Her gaze fell upon it, where the words were clearly displayed—Spirit Fragment x1.

Spirit Fragment: Collect 10 fragments to gain an additional random Spirit. This item cannot be traded.

An additional Spirit—despite her excellent self-control, huge waves surged within her heart. She knew that woman possessed Twin Martial Souls.

She gently closed her delicate hand, and the golden card returned to the Diary Warehouse in Qian Renxue's mind. Looking at the dazzling scrolling banner, Qian Renxue murmured, "The world of Great Journey of the Young? Aside from the God Realm one ascends to, there are actually so many worlds? Wu Xing, I look forward to the day we meet..."

Given Qian Renxue's usual style, if someone like this had appeared, she would definitely have mobilized her forces to search the entire continent for Wu Xing. But after seeing his advice in the Diary, she chose to follow his wishes and leave him with a good impression.

With the Diary System, it would surely be no difficult matter for its owner to grow powerful. She only needed to wait quietly for him to come to her.

A Heaven-Defying Spirit

While the many women were exploring their Diary Instances, Wu Xing had no idea how long he had been walking, nor did he know whether he could find a human settlement by following this direction. Seeing that night was about to fall and towering trees still stood everywhere around him, he gradually slowed his rushing steps.

"It looks like I can only spend the night in the wilderness." Wu Xing looked around and sighed helplessly. He could not keep going. He had to rest and recover his strength, or his life might be in danger.

Along the way, he had realized that his current location was likely within a Spirit Beast Forest. After all, he had encountered no fewer than a dozen Spirit Beasts. Whenever he encountered one, he either hid or took a detour to avoid conflict.

When one truly fixed its eyes on him and could not be shaken off, he could only grit his teeth and fight. Fortunately, these Spirit Beasts were not very strong, and he could deal with them easily. Even so, he could not gamble with his life by traveling at night.

Moreover, after traveling nonstop and going an entire day without food or water, his stomach had begun to rumble with hunger. If he did not stop to rest, never mind whether he had enough stamina to leave the forest—he might starve to death first.

"This damn Diary System, it sent me here without even picking a better location." Wu Xing grumbled, venting his dissatisfaction before searching for a suitable campsite.

He carefully inspected the surroundings. Originally, Wu Xing had planned to see whether he could find a water source to quench his immediate thirst first, then hunt a few small animals to fill his stomach.

However, as he slowly approached in one direction, a patch of green mist suddenly appeared ahead, seeming to envelop the surrounding environment. It made him stop in his tracks.

"What is this?" Looking at the vast forest shrouded in green mist, Wu Xing frowned.

Clearly, there was probably something suspicious inside. The spreading green mist was likely meant to prevent other things from entering. He came to this conclusion because there were animal bones scattered all over the ground nearby.

The green mist was poisonous.

Wu Xing's expression grew slightly more serious, but he began considering whether he should go in and take a look.

He did not know whether these poisonous fumes had formed naturally or were man-made. If they were natural, then based on his knowledge of the Douluo anime, there should be some treasure inside. If they were man-made, then the owner of the poison mist probably did not want anyone approaching.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Wu Xing decided to take the risk. He was not particularly concerned about treasure. He hoped it was man-made, because that would make it easier for him to learn where he was.

As for whether he would offend the owner of this place, Wu Xing had his own considerations. With his familiarity with the plot, fooling a few natives should be easy. At the very least, he knew how to borrow someone else's name to intimidate others.

Of course, fierce Spirit Beasts were an exception. In that case, retreating was the best option.

With that thought, Wu Xing did not hesitate. Soul Power surged, and a black ring of light appeared beneath his feet—it was clearly a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

If any Soul Master saw this right now, their jaws would probably drop. Not only did the man before them have only one Spirit Ring, it was even a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

"First Soul Skill: Azure Wave Water Curtain."

With a soft chant, a transparent fish-like Spirit appeared behind Wu Xing. As the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flashed, a curtain of water poured down and enveloped his entire body, like the mage's magic shield from those one-hit-999 games in his previous life.

Wu Xing, surrounded by the water curtain, did not rush into the poisonous mist. Instead, he chanted again.

"First Soul Skill: Flame Shield."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the fish-like Spirit behind Wu Xing twisted violently, then transformed into the image of a Spirit Beast that spat molten lava. As the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flashed, another layer of protection covered Wu Xing.

The scene displayed on Wu Xing's body would have utterly confused any Soul Master on the continent. How could different Spirits appear on this guy?

Wu Xing had already grown accustomed to the changes in his Spirit. He had noticed it during his earlier fights with Spirit Beasts, and it had made him ecstatic.

His Heart of Origin was simply heaven-defying. Not only could it use any corresponding First Soul Skill, but it could also create a misconception for Soul Masters and even conceal his trump cards.

He could casually claim that his Spirit was anything, then use that Spirit's Soul Skill. Just imagine it: when he encountered Double Standard Tang San, he could disguise his Spirit as the Blue Silver Emperor. Your First Soul Skill was Entanglement? Mine was Entanglement too, except mine came from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. With the boost from the Spirit Ring's age, its power would be even greater.

You used the Clear Sky Hammer? I could use the Clear Sky Hammer too and make you doubt your entire life. Just imagining that scene was satisfying enough. He could not help wanting to give Tang San, who always talked about having a path to death, a good beating.

After releasing the Flame Shield, Wu Xing still did not feel safe enough. He continued releasing several more Soul Skills. Without exception, they were all defensive Soul Skills, and without exception, his Spirit kept changing. It could not be helped—after finally transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he cherished his life dearly.

After making all his preparations, Wu Xing's entire body seemed to emit a dazzling rainbow glow, as eye-catching as the flashy effects only big spenders had in games.

With several layers of defensive Soul Skills protecting him, Wu Xing cautiously approached the poisonous mist. When he discovered that the mist could not penetrate his tightly wrapped body, he finally strode boldly inside.

The mist was about ten meters thick. Wu Xing quickly passed through it, and the scene before him made his eyes light up slightly. The trees around him were far sparser than outside, greatly widening his field of vision. In the distance, he could see a mountain peak resembling a volcanic crater.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xing felt that the scenery looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment and connecting it with the poisonous mist, a thought flashed through his mind.

Could this be Sunset Forest? Could the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well be beneath the volcanic crater at the mountain peak?

The thought made Wu Xing's heart race. To verify his guess, he quickly rushed toward the distant summit.

When he reached the mountaintop and looked down, Wu Xing became completely excited. At the exact center below the volcanic crater was a hot spring divided into two colors, like a taiji symbol.

It really was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Wu Xing quickly leaped down along the steep rock wall and headed toward the center. The closer he got to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the brighter his eyes became, because Immortal Herbs in full bloom grew everywhere around it.

That meant Tang San had not yet been captured by Dugu Bo at this point in time.

Haha, this opportunity is mine now. Wu Xing laughed inwardly, unable to describe his delight. Although he had the Diary System and did not particularly care about Immortal Herbs, he was more than happy if he could steal Tang San's opportunity.

Tang San Takes the Blame

Good morning, beauties. Did you miss me? Haha, I'm guessing you definitely did.

After resting for a night, Wu Xing was full of energy. He had not expected that he would not suffer from insomnia because of transmigrating. After happily collecting all the Immortal Herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the Diary Warehouse, he opened the Diary and began writing cheerfully.

The moment Wu Xing finished writing the first line, the beauties holding Diary Instances in various places and worlds all received a notification at once.

The many women had already been very interested in Wu Xing. Upon hearing the notification in their minds, they all opened their Diary Instances. But when they saw the first line, every one of them spat in disdain.

This guy really had no shame. He was actually that narcissistic!

Although what he said was correct, what they were thinking was nothing like what he had described.

After silently spitting at him, the women continued reading. They could tell that the Diary Owner was in an extremely good mood.

You definitely don't know what kind of reward I got. If I told you, it would scare you to death!

What reward? What had this guy received that made him so happy?

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu tilted her head, feeling extremely curious.

At Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong sat before her dressing table, carefully reading the Diary Wu Xing had written today. Seeing his boastful tone, she smiled faintly. A man like this was obviously easy to control, without the slightest bit of scheming.

To Bibi Dong, this was very good news. As long as she met him, she had enough confidence to make him willingly work for her.

As for the reward Wu Xing claimed would scare her, Bibi Dong did not take it too seriously. Judging by the reward she had received from yesterday's Diary Check-in and the reward Nana had received, while they were both rare items, they were not exaggerated enough to frighten a Level 97 Titled Douluo like her.

Even the Realm Card obtained by Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal from the so-called world of Great Journey of the Young, had not scared her. At most, it had merely surprised her.

With that thought, Bibi Dong calmly continued reading. But in the next second, she understood that she had been wrong—and terribly wrong!

Hehe, what I got yesterday was a heaven-defying Spirit. But I won't reveal the information about this Spirit to you, lest you start coveting it.

But there's one thing I can tell you: the Spirit I obtained came with Innate Spirit Power Level 30.

So? Did that scare you? Haha.

What!

Innate Spirit Power Level 30!

How was that possible!!!

When they saw Innate Spirit Power Level 30, the women from other worlds did not react too strongly, as their cultivation systems differed. But for the women of Douluo Continent, it was like a bomb had been thrown into their minds!

Even the very few women who knew that Innate Full Soul Power was not limited to Level 10 widened their eyes in disbelief.

Innate Spirit Power Level 30? Wasn't the highest only Level 10? How could there be Level 30?

Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and the others were all watching the Diary in shock. They had cultivated painstakingly for countless days and months to reach the level of a Soul Elder, yet he awakened with Level 30 Soul Power!

Wasn't this cheating?! Diary System, I want to report this. Someone's using hacks.

Oh, so he's the Diary Owner. Then it's fine...

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bo Saixi far away on Sea God Island were equally shocked.

Only those who truly understood knew what Innate Spirit Power Level 30 meant. Take Soul Masters with Innate Spirit Power Level 10 and Level 9, for example. They differed by only one level, but as they cultivated over time, the gap between them would grow larger and larger, and their final achievements would be worlds apart.

A Soul Master with Innate Spirit Power Level 10 only needed to cultivate step by step to reach Spirit Saint within their lifetime with little difficulty. With better circumstances, even Soul Fighting Master or Titled Douluo was not impossible.

But for a Soul Master with only Innate Spirit Power Level 9, reaching Spirit Emperor was as difficult as ascending to heaven! This showed just how great the difference in Innate Spirit Power was. Talent was right there.

Qian Renxue, who had awakened with Innate Spirit Power Level 20, was known by everyone to be destined to become a Titled Douluo. It was merely a matter of time. If nothing unexpected happened, reaching the peak of the Douluo realm would be no problem for her, and she might even attempt the divine trials and ascend to the upper realm.

So what did Wu Xing's Innate Spirit Power Level 30 represent? It meant he could casually become a Titled Douluo. It meant he would not need long to catch up to them. It meant he was certain to ascend to the upper realm!

"No wonder you said that. It truly is astonishing." Qian Renxue sat at the desk in her study and sighed softly.

She did not feel jealous because Wu Xing's Innate Spirit Power Level 30 surpassed hers. Instead, she looked forward even more to the day she met Wu Xing. That day probably would not be far away.

Aside from the Lucky King Diary reward, I never expected my luck to be so good that I'd obtain some extra treasures. These treasures might not be that important to me, but to you, they're definitely priceless. Can you guess what they are?

Mm, they're Immortal Herbs—good things that can strengthen one's foundation, raise Soul Power Level, and even evolve one's Spirit.

Doesn't that sound amazing?

I think it's amazing too. You people actually don't know what Immortal Herbs are. Even very few Titled Douluo understand their wonderful uses, allowing Double Standard Tang San to benefit for nothing. It's absurd beyond belief.

I seriously suspect your skill trees are all messed up, or that you've collectively become stupid. Otherwise, how could not even Titled Douluo understand the value of something this good?

I'm not making things up. I have proof, because the mighty Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, had a treasure mountain and did not even realize it. He really ought to be dragged out and flicked in the crotch a hundred times. It's too humiliating for a Titled Douluo—his knowledge isn't even as good as some kid from his grandson's generation.

Uh, Dugu Yan, are you reading the Diary? If you are, please ignore the latter half of what I just said.

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan was secretly reading the Diary during an early theoretical class. Seeing this, she instinctively slammed her palm hard against the desk, stood up, and cursed, "Bastard!"

The sudden furious shout startled the instructor on the podium, who was holding a textbook and teaching. The book then fell to the floor. The students listening attentively nearly slipped from their chairs, while those sitting near Dugu Yan felt as if their eardrums were about to burst.

"Student Dugu Yan? Do you think there's something wrong with what I'm teaching?" After recovering, the instructor looked at Dugu Yan with displeasure and said angrily, "If you truly think there is something wrong with the teacher's lesson, you may state it directly instead of opening your mouth to curse people."

"Huh?" Hearing the teacher's angry rebuke, Dugu Yan finally came back to her senses. Her face reddened as she hurriedly explained, "Th-that, t-teacher, I... I wasn't cursing you. I... I was cursing... cursing..."

Because she was nervous, and because of the Diary Instance, Dugu Yan was temporarily at a loss for words. But seeing the teacher's suspicious gaze, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher, I was cursing Tang San. Yes, Tang San."

Tang San: ???

Taking Stock of Double Standard Tang San

Immortal Herbs? What Immortal Herbs?

Those Immortal Herbs could raise Soul Power Level? They could even evolve Spirits?

After hearing Wu Xing's explanation, the many women of Douluo all had their eyes gleaming as they revealed eager expressions. Even Bibi Dong was no exception. There were actually such heavenly treasures in the world, and she did not know about them?

If the Immortal Herbs truly had the effects Wu Xing described, then their value was absolutely immeasurable.

But now all these Immortal Herbs belong to me. I can't let that double-standard dog Tang San get them.

Speaking of that double-standard dog Tang San, beautiful Dong'er, you really have to thank me properly. It would be best if you offered yourself to me—I've solved an enormous problem for you.

Without the assistance of Immortal Herbs, I won't say anything else, but at the very least, Tang San won't grow so quickly.

You may find it strange. I'm a transmigrator who has only just arrived in Douluo Continent, unfamiliar with this place and its people, so why do I harbor such hostility toward Tang San? Let me tell you, that guy is a sanctimonious hypocrite.
