Aoyao's results after his martial soul awakening were far from ideal.
Although his ancestor had once been a clan-guarding Douluo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, a mighty Level 98 Super Douluo, something had unfortunately gone wrong in the generations that followed. Whether their ancestral feng shui had gone awry or something else was to blame, their martial souls had mutated generation after generation-and for the worse. None had inherited that clan-guarding Douluo's powerful martial soul, the Spirit-Binding Pearl.
By the time the lineage reached his generation, Aoyao's martial soul had become an utterly ordinary bead.
More precisely, it was a small, ordinary bead, no different from a glass marble. Its colors were too dull even for playing marbles.
His now-worthless martial soul also left Aoyao with a pitiful innate soul power of just two and a half levels.
Fortunately, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan possessed wealth to rival a nation. As a descendant of a clan-guarding Douluo who had rendered illustrious service to the clan, he had been treated with all the kindness and generosity they could offer. At the very least, they had given him a comfortable life.
Even after two stretches of two and a half years, plus another year, Aoyao's soul power level was still a pitiful ten. But with his substantial family assets and the care of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he could still live very well.
He had thought his entire life would pass in such uneventful peace, until one day, a strange diary suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Congratulations! The host has obtained the Wish-Come-True Diary. Simply keep writing diary entries to receive generous rewards, with sky-high drop rates! If you're a bro, come write a diary!]
Sensing the gleaming golden diary in his mind, Aoyao sank into thought.
The Wish-Come-True Diary?
That name... really couldn't get much more slapdash.
But with that pitch afterward, are you sure this isn't a diary endorsed by Nick "Zha Zha" Cheung?
Every cell in Aoyao's body resisted it, for a simple reason-he was not actually a native of this world, but a transmigrator. Before his transmigration, when he was still in elementary school, a gentle, considerate landlady had lived next door. After his young self wrote about her in his diary, his family inexplicably moved away, and he never saw that gentle landlady again.
Only later, once he had grown up, did he realize what that diary had cost him.
So...
Not even a dog would write this diary!
[Write your first diary entry to receive a beginner's gift pack. Opening the beginner's gift pack is guaranteed to trigger a hundredfold critical bonus!]
A guaranteed hundredfold critical bonus?
Aoyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Thanks to the influence of a certain old scoundrel surnamed Ma, he was unwilling to try his luck even with a ninety-nine percent chance.
But a guaranteed trigger... maybe it really was worth a try?
Write it! A diary was exactly what he was going to write!
With a thought, Aoyao immediately began scribbling away in the diary in his mind.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
A somewhat luxurious room.
Ning Tian, the only daughter of the current clan leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, was packing her luggage. Her long platinum-blonde hair fell loose down her back, and even a simple, plain white dress could not conceal her graceful figure.
Her exquisite features, smooth, fair skin, and slender, shapely legs gave the young girl an elegant, poised appearance.
Although Ning Tian had yet to fully blossom, she already had countless suitors within the clan. Wu Feng would drive most of them away with a sharp rebuke, but what troubled Ning Tian even more was that her mother seemed to have begun considering a partner for her.
The descendants of those clan-guarding Douluo had all displayed considerable talent and might become very powerful Soul Masters in the future, but Ning Tian did not want to settle on a partner so early.
Or rather, there was no one she had feelings for.
That was why she had chosen to attend Shrek Academy. First, she wanted to put her mother's plans on hold for a while; second, she wanted to see the academy where geniuses emerged in droves.
It would be even better if she could find someone she liked at Shrek Academy.
At that thought, Ning Tian's hands sped up considerably as she packed.
But the next instant, bewilderment appeared in Ning Tian's eyes-a glittering golden... diary had abruptly appeared in her mind?
There seemed to be writing on its cover, too. In large letters, it read... "Copy of Aoyao's Diary (Ning Tian's Exclusive Edition)."
Aoyao's diary?
What was that?
After a brief moment of panic, Ning Tian quickly regained her composure. Her delicate brows drew together slightly as she began to consider it seriously.
She seemed to have some impression of Aoyao... he was apparently the descendant of a Level 98 clan-guarding Douluo from several hundred years ago in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Ever since his martial soul awakening had produced a mutated trash martial soul, he had barely made his presence felt.
She had never had any dealings with Aoyao, either.
Why had his diary appeared in my mind?
Puzzled, Ning Tian opened the diary with a thought.
[Nothing to do today, so off to the pleasure quarter to listen to songs.]
[Since this is a diary, naturally I should record my day-to-day life. Nothing wrong with that, right? So this counts as a diary entry, doesn't it?]
[Let me see what's in the beginner's gift pack!]
[What do you mean, my diary is just a laundry list and needs some substance? Does this diary have no understanding of human nature?]
At the very first sentence, Ning Tian's cheeks flushed faintly, and she could not help inwardly spitting out the word lecher.
She had intended to stop reading the diary outright, but the words "beginner's gift pack" that followed caught her attention. After considerable hesitation, Ning Tian continued reading.
[Fine, I'll write something with substance. I'll just treat it as a chance to vent.]
[I'm certain I transmigrated because Heaven was jealous of how handsome I am. Oh, right, "too handsome" is absolutely not an exaggeration. After all, the gentle, considerate landlady next door certified that when I was still in elementary school.]
[Let me reiterate: this is not bragging.]
[But transmigration is one thing-why did you have to send me to the Douluo Continent?! And during the Peerless Tang Sect era, when God King Tang blots out the sky with one hand, no less... isn't this screwing me over?]
Was Aoyao... really handsome?
Ning Tian froze briefly, then tried hard to recall him.
As far as she remembered, Aoyao had always kept to himself and rarely appeared in public within the clan. But quite a few disciples had indeed praised his looks, so perhaps he really was not lying.
No, no... that was entirely the wrong thing to focus on!
Ning Tian shook her head repeatedly and turned her attention to those key words.
Transmigration... God King Tang... Peerless Tang Sect?
A trace of bewilderment crossed Ning Tian's face.
She knew about the Tang Sect. Before the Sun Moon Continent brought advanced Soul Tools, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had always been a loyal customer and partner of the Tang Sect. But after those advanced Soul Tools appeared, the Tang Sect gradually declined, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan ended their partnership as well.
The Tang Sect had now fallen into utter ruin, with none of its former splendor as the continent's foremost sect remaining.
Peerless Tang Sect... could the Tang Sect rise again?
