Nuoding City, Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
The afternoon sun was somewhat glaring as it shone over the bustling academy gates.
A young man dressed in a fitted black outfit idly tossed a Copper Soul Coin in his hand as he headed toward the Teaching Office.
He looked to be around six years old, yet he was tall and slender, far surpassing children his age.
What drew the most attention, however, were his eyes.
Deep within his pupils, two pupils seemed to overlap faintly, their divine light restrained, giving off an eerie yet noble air.
But in the blink of an eye, they returned to normal.
Double Pupils!
"Tsk, so this is Nuoding Academy? It doesn't look like much."
Lin Yuan curled his lip.
As a Transmigrator from Blue Star, he knew all too well what kind of place this was.
This was where the dream of Douluo Continent began, and where that hypocrite later known as "Buddha Tang" had first risen to prominence.
When Lin Yuan watched the anime in his previous life, he had always looked down on Tang San's shameless double standards.
Lin Yuan knew that everyone had double standards sometimes, but Tang San's were downright revolting.
So you got all the benefits, and you got to preach all the principles too?
Fortunately, heaven had eyes and allowed him, Lin Yuan, to transmigrate here.
Though he had started out as an orphan and had been picked up and raised by the Old Village Chief from neighboring Baishi Village.
But none of that mattered.
What mattered was that Lin Yuan had begun with the best possible hand!
A month ago, at the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony.
Transmigrators came and went, but Su Yuntao remained.
That legendary Blind Douluo had arrived right on schedule.
Lin Yuan still remembered Su Yuntao's utterly inexperienced expression.
When that entirely pitch-black spear, radiating terrifying Killing Aura, appeared in Lin Yuan's hand, the temperature throughout the Spirit Hall Branch had dropped to freezing.
The God-Slaying Spear!
It was said to be the greatest killing treasure beneath the Heavenly Dao!
Although it was not the God-Slaying Spear's True Form and was merely a Martial Soul, the might it emitted was already so terrifying!
Then came the expected Innate Full Soul Power.
Su Yuntao's eyes had turned green with excitement.
He grabbed Lin Yuan by the shoulders and refused to let go, insisting on dragging him into Spirit Hall.
"Child, you're a genius! A true genius!"
"Join Spirit Hall, and His Holiness the Pope will surely take you as her personal disciple!"
To be honest, Lin Yuan had indeed wavered at the time.
After all, aside from being forcibly hit with Reduced intelligence later on, Spirit Hall was at the very top of the continent in terms of resources and beautiful women... cough, cough, in terms of resources and foundation.
And with one's worldview following one's looks, who could refuse Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue?
This was Romance Continent, after all. If one truly examined it, aside from supporting characters with little screen time like Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling, who had not been ruined, everyone else had more or less gone wrong.
But after calming down and thinking it over, Lin Yuan realized something was off.
The God-Slaying Spear specialized in ultimate slaughter.
Bibi Dong was currently being eroded by the Rakshasa God's lingering will, and her mind was not very clear to begin with.
What if the Killing Aura of his Martial Soul had some strange chemical reaction with the Rakshasa God's lingering will and made her even crazier?
The risk was too great!
Just as Lin Yuan was hesitating.
The Golden Finger that had been six years late finally came online.
[Ding! Detected that the Host is facing a choice.] [Diary Fabrication System loaded.] [Activation conditions: Refuse to join Spirit Hall and enroll at Nuoding Academy.]
Well then!
If the system said so, what was there left to choose?
Thus, under Su Yuntao's "Are you stupid?" stare, Lin Yuan righteously refused Spirit Hall's recruitment.
His reason was exceptionally moving:
"Master, if I go too far from home, I'll miss it. I can't bear to leave Grandpa Village Chief either. I still want to attend a nearby Low-level Soul Master Academy first. If fate allows, I'll go serve Spirit Hall in the future."
His words left Su Yuntao completely bewildered. In the end, he could only leave behind a certificate in bitter regret, turning back every few steps as he departed.
To avoid drawing attention, Lin Yuan had even deliberately given his Martial Soul a slightly more low-key name—the Soul Slaying Spear.
As for those Double Pupils?
Su Yuntao had not noticed anything unusual at all.
Blind Douluo truly lived up to his name!
But it was not entirely his fault. After all, Soul Masters of this era still had only primitive knowledge of True Form Martial Souls.
His thoughts returned to the present.
Lin Yuan had now completed his enrollment procedures and was heading toward the Seventh Dormitory.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully enrolling at Nuoding Academy. The Diary Fabrication System has officially bound itself!] [This system is dedicated to assisting the Host in becoming the supreme being of the continent.] [The Host need only record—or fabricate—entries in a diary every day to receive generous rewards.] [Rewards include, but are not limited to: Soul Bones, God-Bestowed Soul Rings, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Peerless Cultivation Methods, and more.]
Listening to the mechanical voice in his mind, Lin Yuan's lips curled upward slightly.
Writing a diary made him stronger?
He knew this setup!
In web novels from his previous life, systems like this were the pinnacle of the Freebie Stream.
There was no need to fight for his life, no need to complete missions or grovel like a simp.
He only needed to move his pen—or use his thoughts—and he could level up while lying down.
Who writes a diary like a decent person?
Lin Yuan mocked inwardly.
Shameless!
Yet his expression showed not the slightest awareness of shame. The corner of his mouth was raised so high that he could barely suppress it!
Then the system's next prompt left even Lin Yuan somewhat stunned.
[Ding! Special notice: The diaries written by the Host will generate Exclusive Copies, which will be randomly distributed to certain people on Douluo Continent.] [Those who possess a copy will be able to read the Host's diary entries simultaneously.] [The first page of the diary is the User Manual. Please take note, Host.]
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "666, System, you're not even pretending anymore."
[One: When the Host writes the first character in the diary, preset diary copies will be activated and distributed to certain people on the continent.]
Lin Yuan: I bet the people who receive the copies will definitely all be people I know.
[Two: After Diary Copies are distributed, the Host will gain the Character Binding function. By successfully binding a Diary Copy owner, the Host may randomly obtain one of that person's innate abilities, including Soul Skills, Mental Skills, special talents, and so on.] [Binding may be used once per month. If the target does not possess a Diary Copy, the binding will fail. Unused binding attempts cannot accumulate.]
Lin Yuan: Well, System, you want me to guess who has Diary Copies too? Interesting.
But what if they were given to someone like Bo Saixi or the Silver Dragon King? They were far beyond his reach—where was he supposed to go to bind them?
And as for obtaining one of the abilities of someone who possessed a Diary Copy after successfully binding them?
Other than the Soul Skills they possessed, such as Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation.
The only things Lin Yuan could think of were Ning Rongrong's Ring Fusion Talent, the Mind-Distraction Control Secret Art, and Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Divine Power. There did not seem to be much else.
Moreover, the Douluo world's system was incredibly rigid. All abilities relied on Martial Souls and Soul Rings, and Self-Created Soul Skills were pitifully rare.
Unlike other Fantasy Worlds, where one could use a Cultivation Method or skill immediately after obtaining it.
This place emphasized "compatibility."
In summary, this Binding Function was a bit useless. It felt more like the system was playing a prank.
