Effects of the Misfortune Talisman (Two-in-One)
Su Ming suddenly noticed that Xiao Wu's eyes were red and asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Why are your eyes so red?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Wu was immediately startled. You're the one who caused this.
"No, I just accidentally bit my tongue while eating. It hurts a little."
Su Ming said gently, "Eat slowly. No one's going to fight you for it."
"Mm."
After eating, the two of them went off to cultivate separately.
Although they had become brother and sister, they could not stay together all the time. Besides, at this stage, they were only brother and sister.
Su Ming planned to give Xiao Wu a bottle of Body Tempering Fluid every day. Once she used them all up, her physique would improve greatly.
Now, Su Ming already had cultivation techniques and a Spiritual Power technique. All he lacked was a Body Tempering Technique. He wondered when he would finally get lucky.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was midnight again.
Su Ming looked excitedly at the Diary before him. Come on, give me an awesome reward!
Ding. Congratulations, Host, for completing today's diary. Reward obtained: Automatic Refrigerator, Happy Chips x10, Cooking Mastery.
Su Ming: Nice, System. You've got some nerve!
Su Ming was dumbfounded. Had the rewards from the past few days been so good that they had used up all his luck? What kind of rewards were these today?!
Out of these three rewards, only Cooking Mastery was somewhat useful. He could use it in the wilderness in the future. The other two were completely ordinary items!
They were useful, but not by much. (The System could not possibly give top-tier items every day. There would still be ordinary things sometimes.)
Su Ming kept comforting himself. It's fine, it's fine. This is just an accident!
Then, he began recording today's rewards.
Today's rewards were simply hard to put into words. I don't know if the techniques I drew over the past few days used up all my luck, but I actually got a refrigerator, ten bags of chips, and Cooking Mastery. Of the three, only Cooking Mastery is somewhat useful.
The other two things can only be called ordinary. Though I haven't had chips in a long time, and I do kind of miss them.
As for the refrigerator, Douluo at this time doesn't seem to have refrigerators yet. Its only use is for storing drinks and food.
It just so happens that I can put the unfinished Happy Soda for Otakus inside. It isn't cold anymore. I have a feeling that I'll definitely draw other food items from the System in the future!
I'm starting to suspect that I accidentally used that Misfortune Talisman on myself. Otherwise, why would my luck be this bad?!
The women were also somewhat stunned. They had not expected that the Diary's rewards would not all be powerful things. There could be ordinary items too. Still, that made more sense to them.
Ding. Today's female leads mentioned by Su Ming: Xiao Wu, 24 times; Ah Yin, 14 times. Today's most-mentioned female lead: Xiao Wu. Reward obtained: Three-Day Beginner Card for "Wind God Leg."
When they saw that Xiao Wu was once again the most-mentioned female lead, the others had gone numb. There was nothing they could do about it. Xiao Wu had appeared early, after all, and today's reward was not bad either.
Xiao Wu was delighted inside. Great! This way, her Wind God Leg would soon reach the beginner level. When the time came, she could see whether she could combine it with her Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw and make it even more powerful!
Very quickly, six days passed.
During those six days, Su Ming took Xiao Wu to a hotel every day.
Don't get the wrong idea. They were only going there to use the Body Tempering Fluid for cultivation.
Su Ming did not idle around either. While Xiao Wu tempered her body, he cultivated the Wood Scripture and continuously compressed his Soul Power. As for his Spiritual Power cultivation, after his previously cultivated Spiritual Power became more solid, about five days passed, and his Spiritual Power had improved considerably.
Although cultivating Spiritual Power was quite painful, the results were good.
Yet during those six days, Su Ming was deeply disappointed. Every day after writing his diary, he received nothing good at all—only food, drinks, and Gold Soul Coins. It was ridiculous!
Nor were the female leads' names mentioned often in the Diary. Xiao Wu was mentioned a few times, but the rewards she received were not much either.
This made the female leads speculate whether the more often Su Ming mentioned their names, the greater the chance of obtaining top-tier rewards. The same might apply to them as well—simply coming in first was not enough. The more times they were mentioned, the better the quality of their rewards!
That day, Su Ming saw Tang San and Yu Xiaogang return from the Soul Hunting Forest. Tang San should have obtained his First Spirit Ring.
What was strange, however, was that Yu Xiaogang was covered in blood and had been carried back by others. Could this be the effect of the Misfortune Talisman? Was it really this powerful?!
He had thought it would merely bring some misfortune and bad luck. He would find a chance to ask Tang San what had happened. The Misfortune Talisman was terrifying indeed!
Su Ming quickly stepped forward and asked Tang San what had happened and why Yu Xiaogang had been carried back.
Tang San frowned and said, "Teacher and I searched the Soul Hunting Forest for several days before finally finding a Soul Beast suitable for me—a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake."
"But Teacher's Martial Soul was no match for that Mandala Snake, so we could only run. The Mandala Snake was too fast, though. Teacher had his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, cover our escape, but Luo Sanpao was no match for it and was bitten by the Mandala Snake!"
"Because Luo Sanpao and Teacher are one, Teacher was poisoned too. In the end, he ran out of strength, and we were gradually caught up to. Later, Teacher passed out."
At that point, Tang San paused before saying quietly, "You know my physical skills are pretty good, and I also created my own soul skill. In the end, I slowly wore the Mandala Snake to death."
Su Ming: You didn't slowly wear it to death. You killed the Mandala Snake with Hidden Weapons, didn't you?
Then Tang San said awkwardly, "During my fight with the Mandala Snake, Teacher was caught up in the battle. The Mandala Snake spat venom at us. I dodged it, but Teacher was unconscious and got hit directly. And the place he was hit was especially awkward!"
As he spoke, Tang San pointed to the area below Su Ming's stomach. "That spot was hit by the venom. I'm afraid it can't be saved."
Su Ming thought to himself, Looks like the Misfortune Talisman worked. I just didn't expect it to cripple Yu Xiaogang down there. In the original story, even though Yu Xiaogang lost consciousness, he wasn't caught up in the battle. Who would have thought that this time, that spot would be attacked by sheer coincidence? Tsk, tsk.
Then Su Ming asked, "Who are the people who carried Master back?"
Tang San answered, "They were also going to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain Soul Rings. The one leading them happened to be a teacher from our academy. We happened to run into them, and that teacher knew Teacher was a friend of the dean, so he brought him back."
Su Ming continued, "Did you absorb your Soul Ring?"
Tang San nodded. "They left one teacher behind to wait while I absorbed the Soul Ring. The others planned to carry Teacher out first and see whether the dean could find someone to treat him."
"When they saw that my First Spirit Ring was going to absorb a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake, they all advised me not to do it. After all, my Martial Soul is the plant-type Blue Silver Grass, and they were afraid there would be a conflict. But I trusted Teacher's theory, so I absorbed it anyway."
Su Ming asked doubtfully, "Since you stayed behind to absorb the Soul Ring, how did you come back with them?"
Tang San looked a little embarrassed. "Originally, I thought absorbing the Soul Ring would take quite a while, but unexpectedly, I finished absorbing it in one minute. So I hurried after them and caught up."
After saying that, Tang San followed the teacher to find the dean and see whether he had any way to preserve Teacher's Kunkun. In Tang San's view, unless there was some great opportunity, even if that part could be preserved, it would still be useless.
Su Ming shook his head. Just as the System's note had said, the Misfortune Talisman truly had to be used carefully. One careless mistake, and Kunkun would be gone. Sigh, heh heh.
Since something this major had happened, he naturally had to record it in his diary. The rewards he had received these past few days had all been poor. He hoped today's reward would be better.
Today, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang returned from the Soul Hunting Forest. Tang San successfully obtained his Soul Ring, but Yu Xiaogang had a little accident.
That first line in the Diary immediately stirred the women's curiosity. What had happened to Yu Xiaogang? Was it caused by Su Ming using the Misfortune Talisman on him earlier?
Let's talk about Tang San first. His First Spirit Ring was indeed the four-hundred-year Mandala Snake Soul Ring, and he finished absorbing it in one minute. This also showed how strong Tang San's physique was. In truth, his First Spirit Ring could have exceeded the 423-year Soul Ring age limit.
After all, Tang San had trained his body from a young age and cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the martial arts of the Tang Sect. His physical condition was certainly far superior to ordinary people's. He could have tried absorbing a Soul Ring of around six hundred years, but Yu Xiaogang believed that a Soul Master's limit for absorbing a First Spirit Ring could never exceed 423 years, so he chose a Soul Ring of around four hundred years.
If Yu Xiaogang had tested Tang San's physical condition first, he might have discovered how different Tang San's physique was. But he was far too confident in his own theories!
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang was only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Luo Sanpao's two soul skills were both farting skills with almost no offensive power, yet he dared to take Tang San hunting for a Soul Ring and even wanted to hunt a Mandala Snake around four hundred years old. He could only be said to be far too arrogant!
In the end, if not for Tang San's own special traits, both of them would probably have been eaten by that Mandala Snake!
Other than Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, the other female leads were all extremely shocked. Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul could only fart? That was too absurd!
