None of Them Are Good Pies

Although Tang Ya desperately wanted to use this opportunity to make an impression on Ao Yao, perhaps even getting him to write her name in his diary a few more times, the situation had escalated to the point where Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were heading to the Soul Fighting Platform. She had no choice but to follow behind Bei Bei.

On the way to the Soul Fighting Platform, Tang Ya couldn't help but lean in close to Huo Yuhao: "Little Yuhao, help Bei Bei later using your Spiritual Detection. What is the maximum range of your Spiritual Detection?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was slightly startled, but he answered honestly: "It's about a hundred meters right now."

Tang Ya's eyes brightened slightly, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Excellent, then victory is assured."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately hesitated.

Does this feel... perhaps not quite right?

Seeming to notice the hesitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Tang Ya looked at him with a sense of "why can't you be better": "The only reason Bei Bei is going to the Soul Fighting Platform with that guy Xu Sanshi is entirely because of you!"

Because of me?

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes wide in confusion.

Even if this whole matter was sparked by his grilled fish, the subsequent development of heading to the Soul Fighting Platform shouldn't be entirely my fault, right?

"Why do you think Bei Bei insisted on using a Mysterious Water Pill as the wager? This Mysterious Water Pill is meant for you!"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao truly didn't understand, Tang Ya patiently explained: "The Mysterious Water Pill is a truly miraculous medicine; it is said that only the sect Xu Sanshi belongs to can refine it."

"The reason the Mysterious Water Pill is called miraculous is that during its refinement, one must use the essence blood of over a dozen water-attribute soul beasts and dozens of water-attribute plants, all combined through a special formula."

"The Mysterious Water Pill itself is not only highly nourishing and capable of increasing soul power, but its medicinal properties are also very mild, allowing soul masters of any level to absorb its effects easily. For soul masters below level 20, it can increase their soul power by at least one level. But its most precious quality isn't that; it's the effect of cleansing the marrow and renewing the body."

"When we bathe, we wash away the dirt on the surface of our bodies, but the Mysterious Water Pill cleanses the impurities from within. This pill is effective for anyone. For soul masters with exceptional talent, it serves more as a boost or the icing on the cake."

"But for those with ordinary talent, it is like providing fuel in snowy weather. It expels internal impurities and nourishes the meridians. A single Mysterious Water Pill can help an ordinary soul master increase their potential by an amount equivalent to one level of innate soul power. In other words, if your innate soul power was only level one when your martial soul awakened, after taking a Mysterious Water Pill, it would become level two. This is a fundamental change in talent and constitution."

Increasing soul power, cleansing the marrow and renewing the body.

Huo Yuhao's breathing suddenly became rapid.

One must know, his innate soul power was only level one!

In other words, this wasn't just a pill that could increase his soul power; it was a pill that could improve his very talent!

Such a precious pill, and Senior Brother Bei Bei actually wanted to give it to me?

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

I'll do it!

Although using his Spiritual Detection to help Senior Brother Bei Bei cheat was somewhat unethical, the pill was simply too tempting. He could only apologize to Xu Sanshi in his heart.

"A soul fight between two senior students... Ao Yao, who do you think will win?"

Ning Tian watched Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who had already stepped onto the platform, with interest and asked subconsciously.

"I think it should be that senior named Bei Bei."

Ao Yao replied casually, but his attention had actually been on Huo Yuhao the entire time.

Huo Yuhao's choice was exactly as he had expected.

Although Tang Ya was the one who proposed the cheating, the executor was Huo Yuhao, and such behavior was, in the end, contemptible.

[Tsk... Huo Yuhao really decided to use his Spiritual Detection to cheat. I mean, cheating in a sparring match between academy students is really quite unethical, isn't it?]

[And if I remember correctly, this guy Huo Yuhao also cheated during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.]

[It's only because he's the protagonist that this behavior is rationalized; if he were a side character, he'd be getting flamed for it.]

[I wonder, if I went over to stop Huo Yuhao now, would he feel ashamed? Hmm... he probably would, but stopping this guy is too much effort.]

[After all, the gap between Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi is negligible; it wouldn't be a surprise whoever wins or loses. If I go to stop Huo Yuhao now and cause Bei Bei to lose the fight and fail to win the Mysterious Water Pill, it would definitely be a blow to Huo Yuhao.]

[Even though I can block Tang San's perception now, interfering with Huo Yuhao is still likely to invite unnecessary trouble.]

Ao Yao decided to drop the "savior" complex and respect the fate of others.

Anyway, a guy like Xu Sanshi who can even get lost while visiting other sects isn't exactly a saint either.

Of course, the most important point is that he isn't a saint himself.

If it were someone else who hated evil with a passion, they might have gone up to stop it, but he was simply too lazy to go out of his way.

[The diary entry for today should end here. I hope the reward for today is decent.]

As the last sentence fell, the pleasant system notification sound rang in Ao Yao's mind once again.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day of diary entries. Rewards are being distributed randomly...]

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for triggering a tenfold critical hit! Soul power increased by two levels, all soul ring ages increased by 10,000 years, personal Martial Soul Fusion Skill Light of Primordial Chaos, one 100,000-year soul ring, and one 100,000-year Wisdom Skull (originating from 400,000 years).]

A 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, one of each?

And there's also a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that uses my own two martial souls?

Not bad, not bad at all.

After several days of mediocre rewards, his luck had finally returned a little.

The only pity was that he couldn't use that hundred-thousand-year soul ring just yet. Under the continuous daily rewards from the diary, his soul power had already reached level forty-seven, still a bit away from level fifty.

However, at this rate, writing the diary for another two days should be just about enough.

[Today's diary entry has ended, system calculating...]

[Congratulations to Jiang Nannan for appearing most frequently in the diary. Rewards obtained: soul power increased by two levels, one Black Tortoise Divine Pill (produced by the Dark Nether Sect, used for healing the body), one Mysterious Clarity Pill (produced by Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er of the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall, used for nourishing the body and curing chronic ailments). Rewards are being distributed... Rewards have been distributed.]

[Today's group chat activity has met the target, the Water Spraying Dragon King has been generated. Congratulations to Moon Ma for becoming the Water Spraying Dragon King; you may specify the content of the next diary entry.]

What is this...

Looking at the two medicinal pills that had suddenly appeared in her hands, Jiang Nannan was slightly stunned.
