So This Was the Cheat I Got for Losing My Xuanji Armor?

The two-hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring emerged, and Duoduo's eyes widened in astonishment.

The soul ring Xiao Ge had obtained through his own efforts had raised his soul power. His current soul power was already at rank twenty-eight, but he had only acquired a two-hundred-year soul ring. Compared with Duoduo's thousand-year soul ring, it was practically worthless.

Xiao Ge had forgotten that Wang Dongliu was just like her—she had also gained a thousand years of cultivation for her soul ring!

Without her help, Xiao Ge might well have been swallowed by the Scarlet Flame Toad.

Huo Yuhao was just as stunned, but she showed no sign of being shocked. Her martial soul was attached to her, and at the same time the enormous dragon turtle appeared, a yellow soul ring rose beneath her feet.

The yellow soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet was a thousand years old, while his soul power was still far behind. His martial soul couldn't possibly control a dragon turtle, so the result was only to be expected.

He sighed. Huo Yuhao was about to be attacked, and Duoduo, frantic with worry, could no longer hold back. Seven-colored light shimmered in her palm, and the three soul rings behind her lit up as well.

"Seven-colored light: first, increase strength; second, increase speed; third, increase attack power!"

The three purple soul rings behind her looked especially dazzling.

The smile vanished from Xiao Ge's face. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then drew in a sharp breath.

Duoduo's soul-ring ratio was downright absurd!

The other day, when they'd gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Duoduo hunt for a soul ring, Xiao Ge had been so distracted by other things—or perhaps the forest had been dim at the time—that he hadn't paid much attention to her soul rings.

But now, the three purple soul rings gleamed unmistakably before his eyes!

Xiao Ge's mind raced.

The first two soul rings Wang Dongliu had obtained had changed. He could still come up with a reason for that: Wang Dongliu was part of Tang San's daughter's body, so some strange transformation wasn't entirely impossible.

But Duoduo? No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't explain it.

Even if his arrival had caused a butterfly effect, surely it couldn't have led to Duoduo's soul rings becoming so ridiculous?

Just his arrival had made Duoduo's first two soul rings both surpass a thousand years. And now all three were purple—could she have directly gained three thousand-year soul rings?

Wait, had he unwittingly gotten involved in some plan to steal the Goddess of Luck's divine position? Had Duoduo's soul rings grown so powerful because she'd seen through the divine examination?

That was simply too far-fetched. Even a dog wouldn't believe it!

Then what was the real reason her soul-ring ratio was so absurd...?

Could it be that his daily log system didn't just reward him with cheats, but could also give Duoduo cheats?

Xiao Ge's expression froze.

Given how much he'd changed things, that was probably the most reasonable explanation.

He couldn't help wondering: if Duoduo's soul rings had changed because of him, could she see his daily logs, too?

Xiao Ge suddenly remembered the one and only daily log he'd written in his previous life. He had lost that log along with the gentle, elegant girl who'd once shared his dorm room...

I promised her I wouldn't keep a daily log.

Oh, right.

I couldn't tell her about the daily logs, either.

Without the daily log system, he'd still be a congenital soul power rank eight-and-a-half, a nobody with a trashy Glass Spirit martial soul.

The daily logs seemed to be... They made him feel as though someone could see what he wrote, stirring a vague sense of embarrassment.

Xiao Ge couldn't help taking a deep breath. A trace of suspicion crept into his eyes as he looked at Duoduo.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao was also thinking over what she'd just learned. She had no idea that Duoduo's heart was already in turmoil.

[The owner of the secondary daily log, Duoduo, has seen Xiao Ge write in his daily log for the first time. The daily-log mechanism has been triggered. This instance of Xiao Ge's daily log does not contain any information about him being a transmigrator. Reward granted...]

[Duoduo has received a cheat: soul-ring evolution.]

[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Its maximum cultivation limit has increased to rank eighty-nine.]

Duoduo stared blankly ahead, her eyes filling with bewilderment.

She looked down at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her palm, somewhat nervously. The seven layers, which had originally glittered like dazzling jewels, had lost the light at the top. In its place was a layer of gray, like a layer of ash had covered it.

Wang Dongliu and Xiao Ge, who had been fighting, stopped in unison. Their eyes flickered with shock.

Their reactions were a little different, of course. Xiao Ge immediately dispelled the martial soul attached to him and hurried over to Duoduo. He opened his mouth as if to say something, then didn't know what to say, and could only gaze at her gently. Wang Dongliu felt a little sympathy for Duoduo, but she was also on alert.

Could Duoduo's soul-ring changes really have been caused by Xiao Ge's daily logs?

When Huo Yuhao, who had just muttered that Duoduo was a fool, blurted out that Duoduo was a cheater, all the doubts in Duoduo's mind were confirmed. That was why she knew Xiao Ge's secret.

A martial soul's evolution was a major event. It couldn't be taken lightly.

So that was it... She'd have to be more careful from now on.

As for why she'd aroused Xiao Ge's suspicions, Wang Dongliu suspected that it might have something to do with her identity.

She didn't like admitting that she was part of Tang San's daughter, of course, but having that identity attached to her soul rings was at least a convenient excuse she could use to explain things.

From now on, she'd have to pay more attention, so Xiao Ge wouldn't see through her. She didn't want to end up like Duoduo.

As long as Duoduo could condense a drop of ice liquid from her palm, even in front of Xiao Ge, whose martial soul had a fiery disposition, her hand remained completely unaffected.

She really did feel like crying.

The reason she'd first approached Xiao Ge was to get his help evolving her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so she could revive her ancestors' former glory and restore the clan's reputation!

But now, her martial soul had evolved before she'd even asked.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had originally been limited to rank seventy-nine. With this change, the highest rank she could reach was now eighty-nine. Did that mean her martial soul itself couldn't possess the power of a rank-ninety Titled Douluo?

So the cheat I got was for losing my Xuanji armor?
