Back to Su Ming.

After Su Ming won and saw Tang San leave alone, he did not care in the slightest. If not for Tang Hao, he would have given Tang San a proper tormenting.

Then Su Ming stopped the recording and began writing in his diary.

That match with Tang San just now was truly satisfying. Tang San opened with Mother's Embrace, so of course I couldn't fall behind. I gave him a little binding move too, and I didn't even use a Soul Skill. I completely stunned Tang San, hahaha!

All the women: Su Ming, you're really awful. You killed the man and stabbed his heart!

I think Tang San must be feeling terrible right now. He must have taken a huge blow and will probably go ask Yu Xiaogang to analyze it.

If I'm not mistaken, Yu Xiaogang will definitely tell Tang San to focus on raising his own level and leave Self-Created Soul Skills for later. After all, high-quality Soul Skills are not so easily created on one's own!

There were quite a few Self-Created Soul Skills in this world, but many of them were not even as powerful as the Soul Skills granted by Soul Rings. Compared with spending time increasing one's own level, their cost-effectiveness was far too low. So if Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that, he would not exactly be wrong!

After all, Yu Xiaogang believed that Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power while I was only Level Seven Innate. My cultivation speed definitely could not compare to Tang San's. Sooner or later, Tang San would widen the gap between us. There was no need to care about a temporary defeat. Maybe my existence could even motivate Tang San's growth!

But Yu Xiaogang could never imagine that my future rate of improvement would definitely be faster than Tang San's. Besides, my Wood Style still had plenty of powerful moves. The Wood Style: Silent Binding Kill and Wood Style: Four Pillars Prison I used today were only relatively low-level Wood Style techniques.

Come to think of it, these two Wood Style moves seemed to be Yamato's signature techniques. I still could not use high-level Wood Style like Clumsy Thousand Hands.

This made the women even more curious about the Wood Style techniques Su Ming would use in the future. The two moves he had used today were already quite powerful, so what about higher-level Wood Style...

Soon, another day passed, and the thrilling midnight arrived!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing today's diary. You have received the reward: "Soul Power Body Refining Technique."

Holy shit!

Today was another lucky day! The reward was actually the Body Tempering Technique he had been yearning for!

Su Ming immediately looked over the annotations for this technique.

"Soul Power Body Refining Technique"—as the name implied, it used one's own Soul Power to temper the meridians, bones, and other parts within the body. The higher the quality of the Soul Power, the better the tempering effect. If supplemented with external items, the effect would be even greater.

Note: Tempering the body with Soul Power is extremely dangerous. One must have exceptionally skillful control over one's own Soul Power before attempting it!

Seeing this note, Su Ming felt that this Body Tempering Technique had been prepared specifically for him. Cultivating it was extremely dangerous for others, but it was different for him!

His control over Soul Power was already quite good, and after cultivating the Soul Power Guidance Technique before, he could now freely control his own Soul Power!

Hmm?

Soul Power Guidance Technique?

Su Ming asked in his heart, "System, did you arrange this on purpose? How could it be such a coincidence? Before receiving a Body Tempering Technique, I first received the Soul Power Guidance Technique, which can improve my control over my own Soul Power?"

Ding! What is the Host talking about? How could the system possibly understand? All rewards are random and have nothing to do with the system. Hehehe!

Su Ming: ...

Su Ming was speechless. In any case, he did not believe the system's words. It had definitely done this on purpose!

Forget it, as long as it benefited him. Then Su Ming began recording the reward he had obtained today.

Hahaha, today I got lucky again. After such a long time, the system's rewards had finally stopped being talismans, snacks, drinks, maid outfits, stockings, and things like that.

It started off strong. What Su Ming said at first was fairly normal, so why had some improper things suddenly slipped in there? Maid outfits, stockings, and the like—bah!

As Xiao Wu read this, her face reddened slightly. Su Ming had never made her wear any maid outfit before. If Brother Su Ming wanted her to wear one, should she agree, or symbolically refuse first?

How troubling!

Today, the system actually rewarded me with a body-tempering technique, the Soul Power Body Refining Technique. It does not require any external resources. As long as you can freely wield your own Soul Power, you can use it to temper your meridians, bones, and other parts of your body. For me, this is not difficult at all. I have long been able to wield my own Soul Power freely!

This Body Forging Technique has quite broad applicability. It can improve one's physical constitution without requiring additional resources. Of course, there is one prerequisite: one must be able to wield one's own Soul Power freely!

But the vast majority of people cannot control Soul Power as if they were controlling their own hands and feet. I remember a saying: although Soul Rings grant Soul Masters powerful Soul Skills, they also restrict Soul Masters, reducing their control over their own Soul Power!

The women were rather curious when they saw this. There was actually such a theory!

After all, Soul Rings retained a tiny trace of the Soul Beast's consciousness from before its death. Under normal circumstances, these Soul Beasts would instinctively obstruct the Soul Master, because the two were enemies. This reduced the Soul Master's control over their own Soul Power. Of course, Soul Bones were the same!

This situation was difficult to resolve unless the Soul Master became a god, or the Soul Beast bore no hostility toward the Soul Master. But both were difficult to achieve!

The female leads with relatively high Soul Power Levels nodded slightly at what Su Ming wrote, agreeing inwardly. Every time they absorbed a Soul Ring, they needed a period of time before they could completely overcome that discomfort. Otherwise, their Soul Skills could easily lose control!

As for those two situations above, Tang San had actually accomplished both in the original story. Tang San ultimately attained godhood, and the Soul Rings and Soul Bones on his body naturally improved along with him. They would no longer harbor resentment toward Tang San as they had before!

The most noteworthy example was Tang San's External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances. It evolved step by step alongside Tang San and ultimately became a complete part of his body. After Tang San became a god, the Eight Spider Lances also evolved into a divine artifact, completing its own transformation!

Of everything Su Ming wrote, Bibi Dong felt it most deeply. After all, she was currently advancing toward that stage. During this process, her External Soul Bone had evolved many times as well, though it was still some distance away from one hundred thousand years. At present, it only had a flight skill. Although it could multiply her speed, it was still somewhat useless and lacked any offensive power.

As for the other situation, Xiao Wu had to be mentioned.

Xiao Wu cried out, "Why does this involve me again?!"

She immediately had a bad feeling.
