Nuoding Academy.
Lin Yuan could not be bothered with the battle between Tang Hao and the others outside the city. There was no need to think about it—Tang Hao had surely been driven back.
In the Original Work, Tang the Runner truly lived up to his name. He only had the power for a single strike.
At the very least, that was the case when he was injured.
The hidden injuries within his body simply could not support a second strike. Otherwise, he would no longer be able to suppress them completely.
Today, like Xiao Wu, he cultivated step by step as usual.
As for Tang San, he went straight to Yu Xiaogang.
Since he had taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, Tang San rarely attended the classes arranged by the academy. He used that time for Yu Xiaogang's one-on-one lessons instead.
Over the past few days, after Yu Xiaogang had recovered from his injuries, he had hinted that he hoped Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu would take him as their teacher as well.
But Lin Yuan simply did not respond.
Take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher?
What a joke!
He would rather attend class and read books in the library to fill in the gaps in his knowledge than take a teacher.
Still, if Yu Xiaogang was willing to teach him how to judge the age of Soul Beasts, he would gladly accept it.
Leaving aside whether Yu Xiaogang's other Theoretical knowledge was correct, he really did know a thing or two about judging a Soul Beast's approximate age.
First, one needed to recognize the Soul Beast and understand its Habits and so on before estimating its age.
That required the support of an enormous body of knowledge.
After all, there were countless kinds of Soul Beasts. Memorizing them one by one would take an incredible amount of time.
In the Original Work, Even If Dragon Duke and Snake Granny had misjudged that Man Faced Demon Spider. If Meng Yiran had absorbed it, she really would have exploded and died.
Zero O'Clock.
[ Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing Today's Diary. Reward obtained: ] [ Encyclopedia of Spirit Beasts ] [ Note: It contains information on every Soul Beast in Douluo Continent, including but not limited to: age assessment, the possible Soul Skills produced by Soul Rings, living habits, and more. ] [ Special effect: While reading this book, the Host will gain the "Eidetic Memory" and "Comprehension" BUFFs. All knowledge will automatically be imprinted in the mind and mastered instantly! ]
Lin Yuan was quite excited when he saw the reward he had received today.
That morning, he had been thinking that Yu Xiaogang had some skill when it came to judging the age of Soul Beasts.
Then that very night, the system had delivered exactly what he needed right to his door.
At that moment, he could clearly see a floating book within his spiritual world.
The book was not thick, but with a thought from Lin Yuan—
Rustle, rustle, rustle—!
The pages turned, and an endless flood of information surged into his memories.
The weakness of a ten-year Wind Baboon, the patterns on a hundred-year Mandala Snake...
In just an instant.
Lin Yuan felt that his understanding of Soul Beasts had gone from that of a complete novice to grandmaster level!
"Awesome!
It really is Eidetic Memory and Comprehension!
With this, unless a class at Nuoding Academy is necessary, he felt that he would not need to attend it anymore.
[ Ding, there are four Diary Copy holders mentioned in today's diary. The one with the highest relevance is Ning Rongrong (hidden). ] [ Critical Reward triggered! ] (Trust Level has reached 60%) [ Congratulations, reward one obtained: Mental Power Secret Art—Glazed Clarity Method ] [ Congratulations, reward two obtained: Movement Martial Skill—Wind Spirit Steps ]
The next second.
A cool energy flowed into Ning Rongrong's forehead.
Countless profound principles regarding Spiritual Power cultivation slowly unfolded within her mind.
"Glazed Clarity Method..."
Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and carefully contemplated it.
This Cultivation Method was practically tailor-made for Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters!
This method was divided into three stages:
Initial stage: Glazed Microscopic Observation: It could clearly detect the rate at which her teammates consumed Soul Power, their physical condition, and more.
Intermediate stage: Clarity Shielding: Spiritual Power would condense into a glazed shield, granting immunity to most low- and mid-level Mental Control skills, such as Bewitchment and Mental Disarray.
High-level: Eternal Glazed Treasure: Spiritual Power would spread out to form a transparent domain with a diameter of one hundred meters...
Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly. The initial stage of this Cultivation Method was quite suitable for combining with her clan's Heart Separation Control.
Once she reached the intermediate stage, she would possess a Spiritual Power shield and gain some ability for Self-preservation.
"What a pity. This Cultivation Method leans toward support and defense. It does not record any offensive Spiritual Power techniques. I wonder if I'll be able to create one myself once my Spiritual Power becomes strong enough."
"As for these Wind Spirit Steps, now this is a real escape technique! It is completely incomparable to Shrek's so-called running! Look at that—that's the difference!"
Ning Rongrong was now filled with endless fantasies about the future.
Before obtaining the Diary Copy, she had felt that no matter how hard she cultivated, things would stay about the same.
After all, the flaw of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was right there.
Cultivating early or late made no difference.
She only needed to cultivate the Mind-Distraction Control Secret Art well before her Soul Power reached Soul Sage.
And the surprises continued.
Today marked the seventh day since the women had obtained their Diary Copies, so there was a Guaranteed Reward.
[ Ding! As all of you have held Diary Copies for seven days, the "Seven-Day Check-in" Guaranteed Reward has been triggered! ] [ Distributing rewards... ] [ Ning Rongrong: Spiritual Power cultivation talent slightly increased (with the Cultivation Method, twice the result with half the effort). ] [ Xiao Wu: Leg meridian toughness slightly increased (Shadowless Kick power bonus). ] [ Qian Renxue: Soul Power purity slightly increased (Angel Soul Power becomes even purer). ] [ Bibi Dong: Soul Resistance slightly increased (resistance to Rakshasa Evil Thoughts enhanced). ] [...]
As the Guaranteed Rewards were distributed, Ning Rongrong found that she had gained a deeper understanding of this eye-training method. If she began cultivating it now, her introductory progress should be much faster.
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, found that her mind seemed to have cleared somewhat. Her resistance to Rakshasa Evil Thoughts had indeed increased.
What Bibi Dong did not know was that perhaps because of this, she would gradually become more normal instead of being as crazed as she had been in the Original Work.
She had thought today's rewards had ended there, but then the system chimed again.
[ Ding, you have possessed Diary Copies for some time now. Considering that the Diary Copy holders are scattered about, which is not conducive to everyone getting to know one another— ] [ A new feature is now enabled! ] [ Anonymous Diary Chat Group! ]
Whoosh!
Everyone's diary interface instantly changed.
A translucent chat window appeared on the right side of the page, which had previously contained only plain text.
[ System prompt: Would you like to join the Chat Group? ] [ Note: To protect the privacy of all holders, you may customize a Virtual Nickname when joining the group and may also hide your real identity. ] [ Within the group, you may speak freely, exchange intelligence, and even trade items! ]
At that moment.
Whether it was the lofty Pope Bibi Dong, or the hidden Crown Prince Qian Renxue.
Or the proud Little Princess Ning Rongrong, the innocent Xiao Wu, the cold and beautiful sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing...
Their breathing caught.
