Night fell, and Lin Chen's diary entry finally came to an end.
Even so, the five people who owned diaries had stirred up quite a commotion!
"..."
At the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Academy, Qian Ling'er had already finished reading half the entry.
She went back over the shocking revelations in the diary.
Since he wants to go to the Star Dou Forest tomorrow to hunt a fourth soul ring, and he's currently staying in Heaven Dou City...
Qian Ling'er's beautiful eyes turned cold as she rubbed the edge of the diary with her fingertips.
Or perhaps he's a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family Academy had connections with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek Academy, and several other soul master academies.
Looks like I'll have to make someone investigate tomorrow.
Qian Ling'er immediately thought of tomorrow.
There are soul beasts in the sunset forest near Heaven Dou City, but if he wants to hunt a soul beast worthy of his strength, the Star Dou Forest is definitely his best choice!
Looks like he'll be spending most of tomorrow in the Star Dou Forest.
Qian Ling'er's expression grew solemn.
"Elder Ling Yuan!"
Two figures appeared in the shadows like ghosts, waiting for orders.
"Young miss."
"Take two people with you. One of you will stay in Heaven Dou City. Keep an eye on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow morning."
Qian Ling'er paused, then continued in a low voice, "As for the other one, head to the Star Dou Forest ahead of time."
"If you run into any members of the Shrek team from Heaven Dou City, observe the situation and report everything back to me!"
"..."
In the Martial Soul City, the Pope's Palace.
Bi Biyao sat at her desk, silently staring at the diary.
She was wondering whether she should believe the diary's author—or perhaps its owner.
The author was a transmigrator who could predict the future!
"Twelve years old, level forty, a Zhu Xian Sword Martial Soul..."
Bi Biyao murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the diary.
Even though she was a gifted innate full-rank Martial Soul user, at the same age, she still seemed unable to completely outshine this young man.
Fourth soul ring...
The Star Dou Forest!
A faint smile tugged at Bi Biyao's lips. Since the other party was after a fourth soul ring, the Star Dou Forest would be the perfect place to meet him.
"Ling Yuan."
Bi Biyao's cool voice echoed through the vast, empty hall.
"This subordinate is here." A graceful woman stepped forward, her manner full of respect. She was Ling Yuan, one of the seven Title Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall.
"Head to the Star Dou Forest at once. Tomorrow, find the Shrek team entering the forest to hunt soul beasts."
Bi Biyao's gaze darkened.
"If you discover that a member of the team has a martial soul with a sword spirit..."
"Stay hidden and follow them. If there's an opportunity, bring him back to the Martial Soul Hall. Kill the others, but don't harm the young man's life."
She desperately wanted to know more about that so-called transmigrator.
What exactly did he know?
Could he even know her own future?
At the same time, inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Lin Chen had no idea that he had already become the subject of a spirited discussion among the two women.
His spiritual power surged as he closed the diary.
At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst before him.
"Ding—!"
[First diary entry complete. Five diary owners have finished reading. Same-day reward unlocked!]
[Host's completion rate: 100%]
[Reward unlocked: First soul ring's age increased from 800 years to 2,000 years!]
[Reward unlocked: Second soul ring's age increased from 2,000 years to 5,000 years!]
"Whoa!"
Lin Chen felt a warm yet scorching surge of energy wash through his entire body.
He hurriedly sat down cross-legged. His scattered white spiritual power gathered into a gentle current.
"Whoosh—!"
His sword intent quivered, releasing a brilliant golden light.
The black color of his first soul ring faded, transforming into a deep purple. His second soul ring shone even brighter, its purple hue deepening as black patterns appeared across it.
Purple, purple, purple!
"Three purple soul rings? The diary's rewards are unbelievable!"
Lin Chen felt the attributes of his soul rings surging back into him. His strength had increased by at least a whole stage!
His Zhu Xian Sword Intent had grown stronger still. It seemed that all it took was a single thought for him to sense the spatial element around him.
"Hmm..."
The sword intent thrummed, reflecting Lin Chen's excited gaze.
Just for finishing the first entry, I got a reward like this! It'd be worth staying up all night to write the diary!
I wonder what reward I'll get if I hit 100% completion tonight... Could it be another reward like this?
Lin Chen rose to his feet, utterly satisfied, a smile spreading across his face.
The next morning, golden sunlight fell over the vast training grounds of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Qin Ming was already waiting there. He stood with his usual elegant, confident air.
Behind him, Cheng Weining, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng, and the others had all gathered.
They were all waiting for Lin Chen.
"Captain, good morning!"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and waved. But when her gaze fell on Lin Chen, she couldn't help but blush.
She knew that today Lin Chen's strength would make yet another breakthrough.
The sword intent surrounding him was even more terrifying!
I wonder what level Captain reached this time...
Zhu Zhuqing muttered under her breath. Yu Tianheng and the others felt much the same.
Their captain...
He was truly a monster beyond compare!
Lin Chen came to a stop beside Cheng Weining. The two exchanged a glance and smiled.
"That's enough. Let's go. We're heading out to the Star Dou Forest."
Qin Ming smiled and waved.
"Lin Chen's model spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring."
"Of course, I need you to cooperate with him. We won't interfere while he's hunting. I won't make a move."
Qin Ming looked seriously at the group.
"Yes!" The group answered in unison, then headed out of the academy.
Meanwhile, in the city of Suotuo, a similar scene unfolded inside Shrek Academy.
"Awesome! I just broke through level thirty. I'm going to be the first food-type Soul Elder in our academy!"
Flender pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on his nose, unable to hide his pride.
"Good, good! You'll represent the academy. You'll let those little brats in the Star Dou Forest see what you can do."
Zhao Wuji twisted his neck, his joints cracking. "Don't worry, boss. Leave that little brat to me."
Ning Rongrong stood at the very back of the crowd, her slender fingers curling slightly.
The Star Dou Forest?
Could the owner of that diary be there too?
A hint of worry stirred in her heart.
"The Star Dou Forest... Maybe he'll be there."
Mi Ruoxi stood off to the side, secretly observing Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. She fretted inwardly.
Look at how Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu are acting...
They don't look like they own a diary, do they? Then again, our academy doesn't have one either.
Mi Ruoxi couldn't quite make sense of it and stopped thinking about it.
That was all she could do.
Two Shrek teams set off in different directions, both heading toward the ancient and dangerous Star Dou Forest...
And, of course, one of them had been dispatched by Qian Ling'er and Bi Biyao to hunt down the transmigrator.
