Diary Copy Chat Group

Ning Tian's bewilderment was only natural.

Most of the other women who had received copies of the diary had much the same thoughts. Of course, they had one more question than Ning Tian did.

Who was Aoyao?

[I could accept transmigrating into the Peerless Tang Sect era, but why did my innate soul power have to be only two and a half ranks? I admit I'm a hater, but isn't this punishment a bit much? Bro, I was wrong! I'll never trash you again!]

[Sigh... It's not like I'm Huo Gua, who could stumble across a million-year soul beast and get handed a cheat even with only rank-one innate soul power. Even if I wanted to steal his lucky break, I'm not a mental-attribute soul master!]

[All I can do is while away my days listening to songs in pleasure houses. It's not like I'm short on money, anyway. With a face like mine, maybe some beautiful soul master will throw herself at me one day. This is the lovesick continent, after all. Anything's possible.]

[Come to think of it, I've written so much already. This should be enough, right?]

[Woohoo! The beginner gift pack really does have a high drop rate! Hehe, that's all for today, then.]

Pah!

He actually wanted a beautiful soul master to throw herself at him?

Shameless jerk!

Ning Tian spat inwardly again, once more missing the point.

Who was Huo Gua?

And that million-year soul beast...

Did million-year soul beasts actually exist in this world?

Even if that million-year soul beast did exist, how would a lowly soul master like Aoyao, with only two and a half ranks of innate soul power, know about it?

Just how much of this diary... could she believe?

Before Ning Tian could process it all, a notification sounded in her mind, and a piece of jade resembling a soul tool appeared in her hand.

[Welcome to the Diary Copy Chat Group (13). All members must strictly observe the group rules.]

[Rule one: Group members must not disclose the existence of this group or the diary copies to anyone, including Aoyao. Violators will receive punishments ranging from lesser penalties (including but not limited to whipping, qi deviation, and the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart) to erasure.]

[Rule two: Group members must not harm Aoyao in any way, including but not limited to direct injury, instructing others to do so, or hiring assassins. Members must not slander Aoyao in this group. Violators will receive punishments ranging from lesser penalties (including but not limited to whipping, qi deviation, and the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart) to erasure.]

[Rule three: All group members should coexist harmoniously and work together to build a wonderful family.]

[Rule four: Aoyao will update his diary daily. The copy holder mentioned the most times in that day's diary will receive a reward. Rewards include but are not limited to increased soul power, increased soul ring age, soul bones, hundred thousand year soul rings, martial soul evolution, surviving a great tribulation, and god positions.]

[Rule five: The most active member in the chat group each day will receive the title "Chat-Spamming Dragon King" (deliberate spam is prohibited). The Chat-Spamming Dragon King may specify the general subject of the following day's entry.]

[Rule six: None yet (to be added).]

[Please enter your group nicknames now.]

What... was this thing?

Ning Tian looked at the little piece of jade in her hand in confusion.

Both the diary copy in her mind and this strange chat group were beyond her understanding. Her brain had completely stalled, and only the jade's faint glow brought her back to her senses.

[Proud Fire Phoenix: What the hell is this thing?]

Proud Fire Phoenix?

She had no idea who that was, but apparently they didn't have to use their real names in this chat group?

An idea struck Ning Tian, and she entered her group nickname.

[Reviving the Clan Starts With Me]

Immediately afterward, Ning Tian saw several rather odd group nicknames.

[I'm Really Not a Face-Con: Same question. Also, who are you all?]

[I Like Tiantian...: So, we all received that strange diary copy, right?]

[Where the Clouds Lie Deep: ...]

[Expert at Flute-Blowing and Cauldron-Smashing: Can someone explain what exactly is going on?]

[Stars Fall, Crown Arrives: It looks like we've all been brought together because of that person named Aoyao. Do any of you... know him?]

Amused by all these nicknames, Ning Tian quietly deleted her own rather serious one and entered a new one.

[The Pagoda's Got You Covered]

As she watched the screen fill with replies saying they didn't know him, Ning Tian suddenly realized she seemed to be the only person who knew Aoyao.

Although several people in the group had yet to speak, she might still be the only one!

Ning Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. If all of this was real, then as the only person who knew Aoyao, couldn't she get a head start on approaching him?

As long as she spent more time with Aoyao, surely he would write more about her in his diary?

She hadn't forgotten the rewards listed in the group rules.

Increased soul power, increased soul ring age, soul bones... and, most importantly, martial soul evolution!

If she could evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she could definitely lead the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan back to the glory it had enjoyed ten thousand years ago!

Restoring the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's former glory was Aoyao's bounden duty!

Ning Tian's breathing quickened. Abandoning the luggage she had been packing for Shrek Academy, she hurried out of her room.

The moment she stepped outside, however, a bewildered look crossed her face.

Where... did that guy Aoyao live again?

Naturally, Aoyao had no idea that the diary he had written had spawned multiple copies, much less that their owners had already formed a group behind his back.

At that moment, he was excitedly preparing to open his beginner gift pack.

A beginner gift pack with a hundredfold drop rate!

"Good luck comes, wishing you good luck~ Good luck brings joy and love~"

"Good luck comes, good luck to us~ Welcoming good fortune, prospering far and wide~"

With no background music available, Aoyao had to provide his own soundtrack, humming his sacred pack-opening song as he opened the beginner gift pack.

[Congratulations, host, on opening the beginner gift pack. A hundredfold critical bonus has been triggered!]

[Congratulations, host. You have received: a twenty-five-rank increase in soul power level, martial soul evolution, awakening of your hidden second martial soul, one thousand-year soul ring, two ten thousand year soul rings (harm-free version), and the Grand Mystery Scripture.]

[Grand Mystery Scripture: Integrates soul power and internal energy, bringing them to the realm of perfection. Every move forms a seamless whole, responding freely to your will. Opens all the meridians in your body and transforms your constitution, allowing soul power and internal energy to flow endlessly without barriers.]

[Rewards have been distributed...]

Holy shit!

I'm taking off!

That's the Grand Mystery Scripture!

A mighty cultivation art based on the twenty-four lines of Ode to Gallantry, encompassing swordsmanship, palm techniques, lightness arts, and internal cultivation before unifying them all! It completely transcended the boundaries of martial arts, aligning every casual move with profound principles and approaching the power of immortal cultivation!

Tang San took off with that trash Mysterious Heaven Skill. With my Grand Mystery Scripture, won't I be taking off twice over?

Compared to that final reward, the others almost seemed unworthy of mention.

Still, the twenty-five-rank soul power increase, martial soul evolution, awakening of his hidden second martial soul, and three soul rings were pretty good too.
