The Great Douluo Hall, Heaven Dou City.
A young man stood atop the ruined palace of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, his body radiating a terrifying aura. At that moment, he slowly opened his clear eyes.
The source of that aura was actually a youth.
His entire body was surging with power, and his clothes fluttered violently.
His spirit power had already reached Rank Forty-Two, and at that moment, he had successfully broken through.
"Old Ghost, you've broken through to the Soul Emperor realm... That's too frightening."
Before anyone could react, countless young men and women cried out in shock. Their mental calculations were different, but all were filled with the same astonishment.
"Ghost, he's already reached Rank Forty-Two?"
"Has he actually broken through to the Soul Emperor realm?"
Yu Tianheng's ancient expression was filled with solemnity as he watched the young man whose entire body was surging with spirit power. He was even stronger than before.
As for his current spirit power, it had already reached Rank Thirty-Nine.
"His talent is terrifying." The orphaned Ghost Leopard said with a grim expression.
The young man before them was Lin Fan.
Six years ago, he had crossed over to Douluo Continent. After awakening his martial soul, he had obtained innate full spirit power.
From that moment onward—
He had relied on himself to enter Heaven Dou City, rising through the ranks and breaking the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's only quota restriction for civilians to enroll.
Because of this, he had met Qin Ming.
In the end, under Qin Ming's protection, he had joined the imperial team. Now, he had already become the captain of this group of people.
Lin Fan's talent—
Even Yu Tianheng could not help feeling astonished.
As for the power he possessed, it was not the desolate and barren sort. Based on the aura it emitted, it was clearly close to the peak.
What was even more terrifying was that his spirit power was actually enough to tear the void apart. It was faintly close to the strongest spirit power.
"Ha—!"
Lin Fan withdrew his aura. The members of the team raised their heads and looked toward the crowd.
"Captain, you... broke through to Rank Forty?"
At that moment, the Ghost Leopard hurriedly asked.
"Mm. I've successfully broken through. I'm only one rank away from Rank Forty-One." Lin Fan smiled.
"Looks like Qin Lao really had to personally take action. Otherwise, I would have lost to you by a little." Yu Tianheng's smile contained a trace of bitterness.
Yu Tianheng's smile was filled with helplessness and hardship.
At first, he had been unwilling to submit to Lin Fan. However, since Lin Fan's strength now far surpassed his, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Lin Fan laughed and exchanged a few words with the others before returning alone to his residence. He felt the gentle moonlight shining on his body.
Lin Fan was somewhat absent-minded.
"Now that I've broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, some matters can finally begin."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment.
What he referred to naturally included the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the treasures within it, and the abilities of the Ghost Leopard's martial soul. His martial soul was also terrifyingly powerful.
"In other words, the Slaughter City is also a place worth visiting."
Just as Lin Fan was lost in thought, a sudden, unusual sound rang out in the courtyard.
[Host's system has successfully upgraded!]
[The Douluo Daily system has successfully upgraded. As long as the host publishes one daily entry, he may draw a reward.]
[The daily entries will unlock female characters from Douluo Continent in sequence. Once the host completes an entry, he will receive an additional reward.]
[If the daily entry changes the original fate trajectory, all parties will receive a generous reward.]
[Daily entries are not restricted to the original story's plot. The host may freely describe the lives of the characters involved, or beautify them.]
"Daily entries... can really draw rewards?"
Lin Fan was stunned. He hurriedly immersed his consciousness into the sea of spirit.
As expected, he saw an unfamiliar, exceptionally distinctive book. It radiated golden light and appeared in his mind.
"It really is..."
Lin Fan inhaled sharply.
Using his consciousness, he opened the book and saw four large characters written on it: Douluo Daily. The current owner was Lin Fan, and the remaining content was blank.
But his perception of the daily was real.
It seemed that as long as he used his spiritual power to construct the content, he could complete it directly.
[Current number of female characters unlocked by the Douluo Daily: Five]
[Female-character completion progress: 90%. The host will immediately receive a generous reward, including increased spirit-power limits, special spirit rings, heavenly treasures, and so on.]
Lin Fan: "Huh?"
"Could it be that my five female characters are the ones who made him lose his dignity?"
However, regarding these five female characters, Lin Fan did not know their identities. Still, what he had received before was fortunate.
The host also did not know his own identity.
"Since the daily can really provide rewards, then I'll work hard at writing."
"I'll directly write a certain section of the original text!"
"System, display the daily. I'll begin updating it."
The next moment, the system's prompt sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
[Douluo Daily has finished loading! The host may begin creating the daily. Anyone who possesses the Douluo Daily may synchronize and read it.]
"..."
Lin Fan was stunned. Unless his face had really been gathered into a single copy of the Douluo Daily—
He would probably still have to obtain it first.
"Sure enough... I'll really be able to receive my own daily..."
"..."
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, in a magnificent room.
A thousand-year-old soul beast was playing with her golden hair, which shone brightly beneath the moonlight.
Her jade-like legs were lightly swaying.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the golden light in her eyes flashed.
Her cold gaze instantly landed on a Douluo Daily that had appeared on a nearby table.
"What?"
Qian Renxue's heart was filled with alarm.
She had always trusted Xue Qinghe. She had never allowed anyone to place anything beside her, yet someone had actually managed to silently place something in her room.
Could it be—
Her identity had already been exposed?
She carefully climbed onto the table, picked up the daily, and examined the places that differed from ordinary books. However, the four characters "Douluo Daily" immediately aroused her curiosity.
"Daily? Whose daily is this?"
The daily did not contain any fluctuations of spirit power.
Nor did it resemble any kind of weapon.
Qian Renxue slowly lowered her guard. She opened the cover of the daily, uncertain whether it was intentional, and could not help feeling that the writing within was somewhat familiar.
But the text contained extremely strange characters.
"Eh..."
The existence of this object had already exceeded Qian Renxue's understanding. Moreover, it was someone else's daily. Why had it appeared in her room?
Could the host know her identity?
What was even stranger was that the first page of the daily was filled with an unfamiliar text.
[Douluo Daily: You are one of the five female characters whose names have been unlocked by the Douluo Daily. You possess the authority to read the Douluo Daily.]
[The existence of the Douluo Daily may allow anyone who possesses it to transcend their fate. Otherwise, it will attract the attention of the gods.]
[In addition, if you interact with other people who possess the Douluo Daily, you may receive special rewards from the Douluo Daily and alter your destined path.]
[The Douluo Daily's rules are absolute and cannot be challenged.]
"..."
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
This mysterious method—could it truly be an existence surpassing even the gods of Douluo?
The words themselves—
They were formed out of thin air, and they contained spirit power. There were even fluctuations of mental energy.
"Is this trying to tell me that the Douluo Daily is the daily of that mysterious person?"
Qian Renxue immediately understood.
But—
The daily entry had already ended. There was nothing particularly interesting in it. She had only learned a little about other people's daily lives.
But what did "destined path" mean?
"Could it be... this is the original plot?"
