After he finished writing the last word, a gleam of light flashed across the diary.
[Ding! Today's diary entry has been generated. Copies are being distributed...] [Copy recipients: Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena.] [Rewards obtained: Free Attribute Points ×8, mental strength +15, spatial affinity +5.]
"Well, damn, aren't those Spirit Hall's three idiots?"
"Forget it, forget it. With the system here, they can't do anything to me anyway."
With that thought, Chen Mo put the matter out of his mind and added the eight free attribute points he had just obtained to his Soul Power.
Soul Power: level 45 → level 45 (experience increased) (Below level 30, every 2 points grant 1 level; at level 40, every 10 points grant 1 level; at level 50, every 15 points grant 1 level, and so on. The attribute point cost increases by five with each major realm.)
Chen Mo smiled in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, the heroines in various places had all received their diary copies.
Inside a dormitory at Nuoding Academy.
As Xiao Wu read the diary's contents, she grew more and more alarmed.
A fifteen-thousand-year fourth soul ring, an external soul bone, martial soul mutation, a level forty-five Soul Ancestor...
None of those were the point.
The point was that last line-"Such a cute rabbit, bullying..."
A rabbit? Xiao Wu's body instantly stiffened.
She was a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit who had taken human form. No one but her knew that.
How could this Chen Mo know she was a rabbit?!
Xiao Wu's hands began trembling, and the diary nearly fell to the floor.
"Chen Mo knows... he knows I'm a soul beast..."
"Will he come kill me, then?"
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring and soul bone are things every soul master dreams of obtaining."
"He's so strong, a level forty-five Soul Ancestor, and he even has a Titled Douluo backing him."
"If he comes to kill me, I won't be able to escape..."
The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to shiver.
"What do I do? What should I do?"
Xiao Wu sank into deep turmoil and fear.
Just then, a line of text suddenly appeared in the diary.
[System notice: Host, please rest assured. The diary's owner will never harm you.]
Xiao Wu froze.
She stared at the line, her eyes filled with confusion.
"He won't hurt me? He knows I'm a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, yet he won't hurt me?"
"Why?"
Xiao Wu's heart was full of questions, but that line gave her a little sense of security.
She took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and said,
"No matter what, at least he won't hurt me right now."
"When he comes to Nuoding City, I'll ask him myself."
Xiao Wu hid the diary and lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Inside Dugu Yan's room at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Yan looked at the diary with a silly smile on her face.
"Big Brother Chen Mo helped remove my poison today, and he even had me call him big brother." Dugu Yan hugged the diary. "Big Brother Chen Mo is amazing! A level forty-five Soul Ancestor, and he even has an external soul bone!"
Her eyes were full of admiration and dependence.
Inside Ning Rongrong's room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong looked at the diary, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Dandelion Clones? They parasitize other people to increase cultivation speed, and when he takes them back, he collects both principal and interest?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "Isn't that way too underhanded?"
"That Tang San is so pitiful."
"But... he said immortal herbs can let you become a god? Is that true?"
"And he's saving them for his future wives?"
Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly. "That bastard."
Though she cursed him aloud, Ning Rongrong was growing more and more curious about Chen Mo.
Inside Zhu Zhuqing's room in the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the diary, a gleam flashing through her eyes.
"An external soul bone... martial soul mutation... able to take root in other worlds..."
Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself, "Just what is this Chen Mo's background?"
Her interest in Chen Mo grew stronger and stronger.
Spirit Hall, the Supreme Pontiff's Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Chen Mo's diary, which had appeared out of thin air, her gaze grave.
Confident in her strength as a Titled Douluo, Bibi Dong opened the diary without fear.
"Born knowing things? Are there really people like that in this world?"
"Well, well, well. Tang Hao, to think you would be plotted against by a six-year-old child. All those decades of your life really have gone to the dogs."
"A fifteen-thousand-five-hundred-year fourth soul ring, an external soul bone, martial soul mutation, level forty-five at six years old..."
Bibi Dong murmured, "This child..."
Inside the study at the crown prince's residence in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue looked at Chen Mo's diary, which had appeared in her study, a hint of amusement flashing through her eyes.
Qian Renxue called, "Guards!"
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Did anyone enter the study while I was away just now?"
"Your Highness, I was stationed outside the door the entire time. No one entered the study."
"Then can you tell me why that dia- in my study..."
Danger! Danger! Danger!
Qian Renxue felt she might die if she said the word "diary," so she waved her hand and said,
"That's enough. You may leave!"
"Yes. I'll take my leave."
With that, the guard bowed and left.
Only after a while did Qian Renxue recover from that premonition of death.
"I'll see just who's playing ghosts and gods."
With that, she opened the diary.
"Blood can actually promote plant growth?"
"This Tang Hao is so ruthless..."
"Dandelion Clones... collecting Soul Power with both principal and interest..."
Qian Renxue smiled. "This person really is getting more and more interesting."
Inside Hu Liena's room at Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena looked at the diary that had suddenly appeared in the diary, her cheeks flushed and her heart racing.
"Wow, this little brother is so smart!"
"Saving them for his future wives..."
Hu Liena hugged the diary. "If... if only I could become one of his wives..."
Early the next morning, Chen Mo and Dugu Bo went to the secret chamber where Tang Hao was imprisoned.
The secret chamber lay deep within the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, surrounded by hard rock, with only one exit.
Tang Hao was chained to the wall, all four limbs pinned with Soul-Sealing Nails, his Soul Power completely sealed.
His face was pale and his eyes vacant. The once-mighty Clear Sky Douluo had now become a cripple.
Hearing footsteps, Tang Hao raised his head and saw Chen Mo and Dugu Bo.
"Chen Mo!" Fury erupted in Tang Hao's eyes. "You unfilial son! I raised you for six years, yet you joined forces with an outsider to harm me!"
Chen Mo merely chuckled and walked up to Tang Hao.
"Foster Father, don't get so worked up."
Chen Mo said calmly, "I came today because I'd like to borrow something from you."
"Borrow something?" Tang Hao snorted coldly. "What do you want?"
"The soul bones in your body," Chen Mo said bluntly.
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply, and then he burst into wild laughter.
