Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

On the second floor, Xiao Wu and the others in their room heard the commotion downstairs. They exchanged glances, confirming their expectations—trouble had indeed erupted.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Wu decided they should consult Brother Su Ming to avoid exposing any weaknesses in their facade.

The three of them then went to Su Ming's adjacent room. Xiao Wu knocked on the door but received no response even after a long wait. Unsure if he was cultivating or busy with something else, she hesitated to enter uninvited. It wouldn't have been an issue if she were alone, but with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing present, it felt inappropriate.

Suddenly, a thought struck Xiao Wu. With her enhanced spiritual power from the system, it should be simple to probe the room's interior. After all, trying wouldn't hurt.

She closed her eyes and released her spiritual power, sensing through the door.

Zhu Zhuqing, puzzled, asked, "Rongrong, what's Xiao Wu doing with her eyes closed?"

Having also undergone spiritual enhancements, Ning Rongrong could sense Xiao Wu's actions and explained, "Su Ming seems to be doing something inside. Xiao Wu is probably using her spiritual power to check on him."

She then teased, "Given their relationship, it wouldn't matter even if Su Ming was changing clothes and Xiao Wu saw him. But since he hasn't responded, he's probably cultivating—likely on the verge of a breakthrough!"

Moments later, Xiao Wu retracted her spiritual power and said seriously, "Brother Su Ming seems to be cultivating and is close to a breakthrough, likely advancing to level 44!"

Ning Rongrong chimed in, "Then we shouldn't bother with the commotion downstairs. This gives us a perfect excuse. Besides, guarding Su Ming is way better than going down to join the fight. That fatso and Dai Mubai are just asking for trouble—they can't even have a simple meal without provoking someone."

She added, "From what I know, Canghui Academy is a top-tier advanced soul master academy with powerful instructors. I've heard they even have a Soul Emperor who specializes in illusions, someone so formidable even higher-level Soul Sages hesitate to confront him!"

"Dai Mubai and the others must be crazy to not fear the teachers retaliating later!"

The other two nodded in agreement.

After all, Shrek Academy had initiated the provocation. Even if Canghui Academy's students and their instructor lost this skirmish, nothing stopped them from secretly seeking revenge later.

Half an hour later, Su Ming opened his door to find the three girls standing outside. Understanding their intentions, his heart warmed. Judging by the odds, trouble had likely broken out downstairs, but the three had stayed here to guard him, which made him feel quite grateful.

When the four of them went downstairs, they saw that parts of the hotel were damaged. Zhao Wuji and the others were sitting at a table, just about to eat.

Su Ming noticed that, apart from Tang San, both Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun bore visible injuries. Ma Hongjun, in particular, had a swollen face, making him appear even rounder.

After eating one of Oscar's sausages, Ma Hongjun rubbed his face and saw Su Ming and the others descending the stairs. He immediately grumbled, "Su Ming, didn't you hear the commotion downstairs? Why didn't you come help?"

Su Ming replied with a puzzled expression, "What happened? I suddenly felt on the verge of a breakthrough, so I stayed in my room to cultivate. They stayed behind to guard me."

Before Ma Hongjun could retort, Dai Mubai exclaimed in shock, "What? You broke through? So you're level 44 now?"

Su Ming nodded nonchalantly.

Zhao Wuji, who had been silent, was initially prepared to scold Su Ming for a lack of team spirit if he'd intentionally avoided the fight. However, hearing it was due to a breakthrough, his thoughts vanished, and he laughed heartily. "Excellent! Su Ming, your talent is truly unparalleled. To think you've already advanced shortly after enrolling!"

Tang San, meanwhile, remained silent. Although he had used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye to avoid injury, the battle had drained some of his soul power. More troubling was that his attacks—whether soul skills or hidden weapons—had been ineffective.

The enemy's lead instructor had activated a turtle-shell-like martial soul, rendering even his Dragon Beard Needles useless. Ordinary hidden weapons were completely ineffective. This realization filled Tang San with urgency. Once they returned from the Star Dou Forest, he resolved to acquire materials and craft a Zhuge Crossbow in seclusion.

At the same time, a hint of jealousy stirred in his heart. Why could Su Ming cultivate so quickly?

Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips and huffed, "Brother Su Ming's breakthrough is more important. What's a little scuffle downstairs? It's not like it involved us. And to think, the ones stirring trouble were you lot!"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes at Ma Hongjun. "Fatty, be honest—did you start this? Were you staring at some beauty and picked the wrong target?"

Ma Hongjun looked guilty, his gaze darting around as he remained silent.

Oscar quickly stepped in to explain, "Fatty might have ogled a bit, but he didn't cross any lines. It was the other side who struck first."

"Besides, the dean always says, 'A soul master who doesn't stir trouble isn't a good soul master.' This is all part of training. And since the opponents were from a soul master academy, it's not like they'd kill us—it's just a little beating at most."

Oscar's words sounded like criticism, but in reality, he was defending Ma Hongjun. After all, he emphasized that the other side started it and even quoted Flender to justify the incident.

Su Ming shot Oscar a disappointed glance. He knew full well what kind of person Ma Hongjun was. If Ma Hongjun hadn't provoked them with his words and ogled their female students, would there have been a conflict?

Ning Rongrong, skeptical, chimed in with a mocking tone, "Oh? Are you sure it wasn't you lot who provoked them first?"

"And that line from the dean—'A soul master who doesn't stir trouble isn't a good soul master'? What utter nonsense!"

"If you're so fond of stirring trouble, why don't you go pick a fight with a Titled Douluo instead? Let's see how brave you really are. In the end, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You wouldn't dare!"

"In our sect, plenty of soul masters achieve greatness without causing trouble. Flender's logic is absurd!"

Zhao Wuji's face darkened as he listened, feeling subtly attacked.
