After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he wrote his fifth diary entry.
[Year X, month X, day X. Sunny.]
[Today's Soul Hunting was quite a haul.]
[Second Soul Ring: 4,200-year Soul Devouring Vine. Soul Skill: Vine Binding. Control + paralysis + recovery. Very strong.]
[Third Soul Ring: 9,500-year Ancient Tree of Life, with a remnant soul. Soul Skill: Life Blessing. Area healing + attribute boosts. Practically a divine tool for a team.]
[After absorbing three Soul Rings, my Soul Power went straight to level "forty."]
[Senior Dugu Bo was so shocked by me that he couldn't speak. Haha, that expression was so funny.]
[Oh, right, during the hunt, Dugu Bo only helped me injure the Soul Beasts. I delivered every finishing blow myself.]
[After all, you have to kill them yourself to absorb their Soul Rings. I know that much.]
[That Soul Devouring Vine still tried to resist after Dugu Bo injured it, but I easily dealt with it using Life Drain + Vine Binding.]
[The Ancient Tree of Life was harder to deal with. It had a remnant soul and was highly intelligent. It took me a lot of effort to kill it.]
[But in the end, I still blasted its trunk apart with my "self-created Soul Skill," the "Big Ball Rasengan." I even crushed its remnant soul.]
[Oh, right, I told Senior Dugu Bo I wanted a 15,000-year fourth Soul Ring. He was completely dumbfounded.]
[But he agreed in the end and said we'd continue tomorrow.]
[A 15,000-year fourth Soul Ring. Just thinking about it is exciting.]
[Once I've hunted down my fourth Soul Ring, I'll go to Nuoding Academy to find Xiao Wu.]
[Such a cute rabbit. I can't let Xiao San get her so easily. After all, Xiao San kept saying he couldn't use Soul Bone Skills, but what happened? He went straight to repeatedly activating Invincible Golden Body in a fight.]
[Oh, right, those two girls, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, should still be with their respective families now, shouldn't they?]
[Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is quite the tsundere. Oh, right, it seems she'll end up being won over by some sleazy sausage seller in the future.]
[Then there's Zhu Zhuqing, a noble from the Star Luo Empire. She should already have been promised to Dai Mubai as his fiancée.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a shame. Before long, Dai Mubai won't be able to stand the pressure his brother puts on him and will just grab his bucket and run.]
[What pitiful fates these three girls have! Sigh, forget it, forget it. Just wait for me to save you.]
As he finished writing the last word, a gleam of light flashed across the diary.
[Ding! Today's diary entry has been generated. Synchronizing content...] [Content synchronization recipients: Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing.] [Rewards obtained: free attribute points ×5, mental power +10, wood affinity +15.]
Chen Mo put the five free attribute points into Soul Power.
Soul Power: level 40 → level 40 (experience increased)
Chen Mo smiled in satisfaction, then brought up the system panel.
[System panel] [Protagonist: Chen Mo] [Age: 6] [Martial Soul: Divine Tree of Creation (quality: immortal-grade · evolvable)] [Innate Soul Power: level 20] [Current Soul Power: level 40+ (Soul Ancestor)] [The power of the first three Soul Rings has accumulated and will erupt upon obtaining the fourth Soul Ring.] [Soul Rings: First Soul Ring (1,000-year · Man-Eating Flower), Second Soul Ring (4,200-year · Soul Devouring Vine), Third Soul Ring (9,500-year · Ancient Tree of Life)] [Soul Skills:] [First Soul Skill: Life Drain (absorbs plant vitality and converts it into Soul Power; can absorb an enemy's vitality upon contact)] [Second Soul Skill: Vine Binding (summons Soul Devouring Vine tendrils to bind enemies, with added paralysis and recovery)] [Third Soul Skill: Life Blessing (area healing + 10% boost to all attributes, lasting fifteen minutes)] [Attributes: strength 35, agility 32, constitution 40, mental power 45] [Special constitution: ice and fire immunity, immunity to all poisons, Essence Gel body refinement] [Systems: Check-in System, Bond System, Diary Fabrication System] [Affection:] [Dugu Yan: 40 (curiosity + admiration)] [Xiao Wu: unknown (not yet met)] [Ning Rongrong: unknown (not yet met)] [Zhu Zhuqing: unknown (not yet met)] [Storage space: assorted immortal herbs (Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Aromatic Silk Beauty, etc.)...]
Chen Mo looked at the system panel and nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, at Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu was in the dormitory when she sensed the diary updating.
She immediately ran outside the dormitory and, only after making sure no one had noticed her, secretly opened the diary.
When she saw its contents, she froze.
"A 4,200-year second Soul Ring? A 9,500-year third Soul Ring?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened. "That guy actually did it?"
"And... he said he wants a 15,000-year fourth Soul Ring?" Xiao Wu covered her mouth. "Is he really not afraid of dying?"
"But... he said he'd come to Nuoding Academy to find me."
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly. "He said I'm cute, and he seems to be Tang San's older brother, too. Oh, right, should I treat Xiao San a little better?"
"Wait, Soul Bones!!!"
Xiao Wu's heart began to race.
Elsewhere, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan was asleep when the diary's contents updated.
It startled Dugu Yan out of her sound sleep, and she hurriedly picked up the diary to read it.
When she saw its contents, her eyes widened.
Even though Dugu Yan had already heard about it from her grandfather, seeing it again in the diary still shocked her.
"4,200 years... 9,500 years..." Dugu Yan murmured. "Chen Mo is so amazing!"
At the same time, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with admiration.
She felt that Chen Mo was the most amazing person she had ever met.
At the same time, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong was reading in her room when the diary appeared out of thin air before her.
"Has that Chen Mo's diary updated?" Ning Rongrong curiously picked up the diary and opened it.
When she saw its contents, she froze.
"A 4,200-year second Soul Ring?"
"A 9,500-year third Soul Ring?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "Is this guy insane?"
"Wasn't he joking before?"
"He actually dared to absorb Soul Rings that old?"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and said,
"Is he really not afraid of dying?"
"But... he said I'll be won over by some sleazy sausage seller in the future?"
Ning Rongrong's face instantly reddened. "That bastard! How dare he tease me! Who is that sleazy guy? There's no way I'd fall for some sausage seller!"
Although she cursed him aloud, Ning Rongrong grew more and more curious about Chen Mo.
Meanwhile, in the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing was cultivating when the diary appeared out of thin air before her.
Zhu Zhuqing picked up the diary and opened it.
When she saw its contents, an expression appeared on her icy face for the first time.
"A 9,500-year third Soul Ring... a 15,000-year fourth Soul Ring..." Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself. "Just who is this Chen Mo?"
"And... Dai Mubai?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. "Will Dai Mubai and I... really end up like that?"
For the first time, Zhu Zhuqing began to question her own life.
