The diary continued updating.
[The world I came from before crossing over was pretty exciting. Unlike Tang San's world, I had endless games to play, endless novels to read, endless videos to watch, and... endless work to do.]
[Hah!]
[My world wasn't all that great, either. Those damn capitalists were just like the nobles in this world, forever squeezing the common people.]
[All right, back to writing about transmigrators.]
[As a transmigrator, you also get a Golden Finger cheat. Without one, how are we supposed to show off and pick up girls? My Golden Finger is this diary. Tang San's, for example, is the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. It lets him cultivate inner strength and make Hidden Weapons... Wait?]
[Tang San's Buddha Fury Tang Lotus can kill a Titled Douluo, and Guanyin Tear can even pierce the heart of Qian Renxue after she becomes the Angel God. Holy crap! As I write this, I suddenly realize I can make Hidden Weapons too!]
[One Saltpeter, Two Sulfur, Three Charcoal. Make a little Gunpowder and you're done for.]
[Buddha Fury Tang Lotus is a fragmentation grenade, while Guanyin Tear must be condensed from one's own energy and fired as a concentrated point.]
[Concentrating and purifying Gunpowder? I know a hell of a lot more than Tang San, that ancient guy. Douluo Continent also has plenty of special metals. Collect some to make throwing Hand Grenades, then use more to build a shotgun. One shot, one Titled Douluo?]
[It's not that the Godly Zhuge Crossbow is unaffordable; shotguns are just more cost-effective. Five-Star General MacArthur once said: "When Mr. Su Chen brings out a big black tube, the age of Hidden Weapons will come to an end."]
Su Chen stopped writing there and climbed off Hu Liena's lap, his face written all over with bewilderment.
Ridiculous!
This might actually work...
Hu Liena also gave Su Chen a strange look. She couldn't make heads or tails of Hidden Weapons or Gunpowder, but when she thought of Su Chen writing that one shot could take out a whole group of Titled Douluo, it sounded utterly absurd.
Would one shot really be enough for Titled Douluo like Chrysanthemum Grandpa and Ghost Grandpa?
What kind of blade was a blade? The Golden Ring Broadsword. What kind of sword was a sword? The Moon-Closing Light-Shaming Sword.
What kind of gun was a gun?
"Three Origins Into One!"
As Hu Liena stood there, utterly confused, a ball of energy the size of a leather ball suddenly condensed in Su Chen's hand. The pressure radiating from it was terrifying.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were instantly shocked, staring at Su Chen in disbelief.
"What is that?"
"A Self-Created Soul Skill?"
Su Chen dispersed the energy with a flick of his hand, then nodded.
"More or less. It's a Self-Created Soul Skill, but it's not complete yet. Once I finish refining it, it'll be powerful."
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's face was grave.
"One Saltpeter, Two Sulfur, Three Charcoal. Hidden Weapons, Gunpowder, Hand Grenades..."
She murmured the words for a long while... Anyone who didn't know better might have thought she was reciting them so fluently because she was preparing for an exam.
But this wasn't her area of expertise!
She could think about it all day and still not figure out what those things were.
"Someone!"
"Pass down my order!"
"Starting today, Spirit Hall will begin collecting special metals and secretly investigating what saltpeter and sulfur are. Anyone who knows will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins."
Bibi Dong felt a little panicked. Su Chen's previous diary entries hadn't included many details, so she'd assumed this so-called Tang San was nothing special.
Today, she'd seen the details:
Buddha Fury Tang Lotus could kill a Titled Douluo.
Guanyin Tear could even pierce Xiao Xue after she became the Angel God.
It was truly shocking. No wonder Tang San was a transmigrator. Hidden Weapons really were terrifying!
Crown Prince Mansion.
Qian Renxue's head was buzzing...
I'll become the Angel God in the future?
And then...
After I become the Angel God, Tang San will use a Hidden Weapon to pierce my heart?
If not for the mystery surrounding Su Chen, Qian Renxue would never have believed it in a million years. What level was the Angel God supposed to be?
If I become a god and can still have my heart pierced by some so-called Hidden Weapon, what's the point of becoming one?
And yet...
Qian Renxue couldn't help believing it. Could even the Angel God lose to Tang San?
Transmigrator.
Terrifying indeed!
This really had the little angel sweating bullets.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were dumbfounded.
The contents of today's diary had completely upended their outlook on life, the world, and their values...
Ye Lingling said timidly:
"Yanzi, why don't you take your grandfather and go hide somewhere?"
Dugu Yan's expression darkened, and she sounded unconvinced.
"That bastard!"
"But he only just thought of it today. He still hasn't made any Hidden Weapons, right?"
Ye Lingling gave a helpless smile. "But haven't you noticed how mysterious and powerful these transmigrators are? Even Tang San can slay a god, let alone someone even stronger, like Su Chen."
"I..."
Dugu Yan lost her nerve, her voice small and aggrieved. "That hateful bastard! I don't even know him. Why does he have to bully me? Damn it! Damn it! I hate him so much!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's voice broke into tears.
Seeing her best friend so upset, Ye Lingling gently put an arm around her and comforted her.
"Yanzi, things aren't as bad as they seem. Su Chen doesn't seem to mean you any harm. We can just swallow our pride and avoid provoking him."
Dugu Yan nodded uneasily, but she still couldn't accept it!
There was no way he could beat her grandfather, a Titled Douluo, right?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
He might be a transmigrator, but he'd only awakened three months ago and had barely reached level ten. He definitely wasn't a match for Grandpa.
Time flew by.
Before long, afternoon arrived.
Dugu Yan grew even more anxious, unable to sit still.
Dugu Bo had been accompanying his granddaughter all afternoon, and his anger kept rising... Just which bastard had upset his granddaughter? Once he found out, he'd give him a good thrashing!
Heaven Dou City.
Martial Soul Hall Branch.
The Spirit Hall branch stood out in bustling Heaven Dou City. Its buildings were done in dark colors, and the main hall was imposing and grand, with a symmetrical design. Four ten-meter-high pillars supported the front entrance. Everyone who passed by couldn't help feeling how insignificant they were.
At the very top of the main hall, the roof came to a point, raising the building to nearly thirty meters. It naturally towered over the low buildings around it.
As soon as Su Chen and the others arrived, a number of people came out to greet them. Platinum Bishop Salas hurried over at top speed and stepped forward to bow.
"Salas, Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou City branch of Spirit Hall, pays his respects to Miss Hu Liena and the two esteemed elders."
"We didn't know you would be visiting today, honored guests, and failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive us."
Though Hu Liena wasn't the Holy Maiden yet, she held a high position in Spirit Hall as Pope Bibi Dong's disciple.
As for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, there was no need to say more. They were both Titled Douluo and elders, and their status was extremely distinguished.
