Ning Rongrong Wants to Become Stronger, Zhu Zhuqing Awakens

The palace doors closed.

Bibi Dong then looked at the black notebook by her hand.

[Yu Tiancheng's Diary Copy (Bibi Dong Exclusive)]

"Yu Tiancheng... someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family?"

Because of a certain person, she was extremely sensitive to the surname Yu.

She opened the diary and quickly skimmed the rules and content.

When she saw the words "transmigration" and "system," a flicker of doubt passed through her eyes.

When she saw "Time Dragon Emperor Martial Soul awakened, God-tier Quality," another flicker of interest appeared.

When she saw "Soul Hunting Plan in five years"—

Bibi Dong's fingers tightened slightly.

"Soul Hunting Plan..."

She was indeed planning some things, but the specific timing and details were known only to a few.

This Yu Tiancheng... how could he know?

As for the later parts about Shrek Academy and such, Bibi Dong had no idea why he would write those things.

She closed the diary, leaned back on her throne, and sank into thought.

"Knowing the future... wanting to change it..."

"Yu Tiancheng, just who are you?"

"Will your appearance... disrupt my plans?"

She looked toward the palace exterior, her gaze icy.

"No matter who you are..."

"If you dare to obstruct the Martial Soul Hall's progress..."

"Then there's only one option... elimination."

Heavenly Son Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's Bedchamber.

Qian Renxue was reviewing memorials when her brush suddenly paused.

A black notebook appeared on her desk.

Her gaze sharpened, and she instinctively wanted to call out Pufferfish and Snake Lance, the two Titled Douluo.

But after careful inspection, she found it was merely a simple diary.

Not even a trace of soul power fluctuation.

"How did it appear?"

She looked around—doors and windows tightly shut, guards strict.

To deliver something to her so silently...

Qian Renxue opened the notebook cover.

[Yu Tiancheng's Diary Copy (Qian Renxue Exclusive)]

"Yu Tiancheng... interesting."

She quickly browsed the content, and when she saw "God-Tier Martial Soul" and "Soul Hunting Plan," a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has a genius with a God-Tier Martial Soul, and the family doesn't even know?"

"That woman Bibi Dong moves fast."

She closed the notebook and leaned back in her chair.

"Yu Tiancheng, knowing so many secrets..."

"Friend or foe?"

She looked out the window, her gaze deep.

"It seems... I'll need to find a chance to meet you."

"But first, I need to confirm just how much truth there is in what you wrote in this diary."

The next morning, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Collateral Branch Courtyard.

Yu Tiancheng was jolted awake from his sleep by the system notification.

[Ding! Yesterday's diary settlement complete]

[Base reward: Soul power increased by 3 levels]

[Bonus reward: Storage Soul Tool Time-Space Ring (100 cubic meters, slowly auto-recovers soul power)]

Yu Tiancheng looked at the silver ring that had suddenly appeared in his hand, his eyes lighting up.

"Level 18, just one step away from Level 20!"

"And a storage ring that can restore soul power... so practical!"

He immediately channeled his soul power, stowing his luggage and valuables into the ring. A gentle stream of soul power also slowly flowed into his body from the ring—slow, but continuous.

"With this, I can recover soul power even while traveling. Much more efficient."

Feeling the surging 18th-level soul power within him, his confidence soared.

"Setting out today, destination Heaven Dou City!"

At the same time, other holders of the diary copies also received their reading rewards.

Blue Tyrant Academy, Principal's Office.

Liu Erlong was cultivating when she suddenly felt her soul power increase.

[Ding! Yesterday's diary reading reward distributed]

[Reward: Soul power increased by one level]

[Because you were the person most frequently mentioned in yesterday's diary entry]

[Bonus reward: Thousand-Year Left Arm Soul Bone—Power of the Red Dragon (Fire attribute boost, compatible with Martial Soul)]

Liu Erlong opened her eyes, staring at the crimson soul bone that had suddenly appeared in her hand, an incredulous gleam flashing in her gaze.

"A soul bone! A real soul bone!"

She carefully touched the warm, smooth surface of the soul bone, sensing the blazing energy within it, her heart pounding wildly.

As a Soul Saint, she knew all too well how precious a soul bone was—even in a powerhouse like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, fewer than ten strong individuals possessed one!

And now, just by reading a diary entry, she had obtained such a rare treasure?

"Tiancheng, what exactly is the origin of the diary you wrote?"

She recalled the line from Yu Tiancheng's diary:

"Aunt Liu Erlong, you take care of yourself."

Her eye sockets instantly reddened.

"From today on, Aunt will become stronger—strong enough to protect you, to protect everyone at Blue Tyrant Academy."

She pressed the soul bone against her left arm. A crimson radiance bloomed as the bone slowly fused into her limb. A scorching energy coursed through her body, and her soul power rose by yet another small notch.

"This soul bone alone can boost my combat power by at least thirty percent at the same level."

Liu Erlong clenched her fist, feeling the vast power within her.

"No matter what lies behind this diary..."

"Aunt will watch over you."

Shrek Academy, Girls' Dormitory.

Ning Rongrong was jolted awake from sleep by a surge in soul power.

[Yesterday's diary reading reward distributed]

[Reward: Soul power increased by 1 level]

"Huh? I leveled up?"

Ning Rongrong sat up, sensing the growth in her soul power. At first confused, she then thought of something and quickly pulled the black diary out from under her pillow.

"Could it really be because of this?"

She opened the diary and reread it. This time, her mindset was completely different.

If yesterday she had been half-doubting, thinking it might be some kind of prank or Illusion Technique, then now—the tangible increase in soul power forced her to believe it: this diary was real!

"Yu Tiancheng, do you really know the future?"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly as she recalled the line from the diary:

"The Soul Hunting Plan five years from now... the Upper Three Sects... not many will survive."

If this was truly real...

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Father, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa..."

She dared not think further.

She had always been the pampered little princess, cultivating only half-heartedly, taking three days off for every two days of work.

But now, for the first time, she felt a sense of urgency.

"No, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

Ning Rongrong gripped the notebook tightly, a resolute light in her eyes that had never been there before.

"I have to get stronger. I have to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"When Shrek Academy moves to Heaven Dou City, I will definitely find you!"

"No matter the cost, I will learn more about the future from you."

Another girls' dormitory.

Zhu Zhuqing felt her soul power grow as she cultivated.

She opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"It's that diary..."

"If... if this diary is real."

"If Yu Tiancheng truly knows the future and truly wants to change it."

She sensed the denser soul power within her body and clenched her fists.

Since childhood, her life had been a destined tragedy—either defeat Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun alongside Dai Mubai to become the emperor and empress of the Star Luo Empire, or fail, have her soul power crippled, and be imprisoned until death.

She had never had the right to choose.

But now...

"Yu Tiancheng, you've given me a possibility."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned utterly resolute.

No matter what lies behind this diary, no matter the cost.

As long as you can grant me a way out, let me escape this damned fate...

"I, Zhu Zhuqing, pledge my life to you!"
