Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Xiao Wu leapt up and threw herself into Su Ming's arms, her face radiant with excitement. "Brother, I did it!" she exclaimed.

Su Ming gently patted her head and asked, "Xiao Wu, tell me quickly—what's the effect of your fourth soul ring?"

If Su Ming's guess was correct, Xiao Wu's fourth soul skill was likely still Invincible Golden Body, but the duration had likely increased significantly. This was a remarkable life-saving ability, capable of blocking attacks below the godly level!

Xiao Wu beamed as she explained, "Brother, my fourth soul skill follows the same path as my mother's. It's called Invincible Golden Body. Once activated, I'm invincible for ten seconds and can use it five times a day!"

"The duration is much longer than my mom's. Her Invincible Golden Body only lasts for three seconds and can only be used three times a day."

"But that's expected since my fourth soul ring is a ten-thousand-year soul ring. From what I can sense, it's about 15,000 years old."

Though a bit surprised, Su Ming found it reasonable.

What caught Su Ming off guard wasn't the age of Xiao Wu's fourth soul ring being 15,000 years. That was understandable. The system's soul power forging technique tempered the body internally using soul power, and the higher the quality of the soul power, the faster the improvement.

As a 100,000-year soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu's precision and efficiency in using soul power far surpassed ordinary people. Although she couldn't compare to Su Ming, she was already exceptionally gifted. A 15,000-year soul ring was within reason.

What astonished Su Ming was the qualitative leap in Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body after becoming a ten-thousand-year soul skill. He hadn't expected such a drastic improvement!

The original three-second invincibility was already a game-changer. Now it lasted ten seconds and could be used five times daily. With this, one could accomplish so much—it truly lived up to the potential of a ten-thousand-year soul ring!

Su Ming couldn't help but wonder, if Xiao Wu's soul ring evolved to a 100,000-year level or higher in the future, what unimaginable effects would it bring?

And if Xiao Wu ascended to godhood, transforming her soul skill into a divine skill, and her soul ring age further increased, just how many levels of divine attacks could this skill withstand?

These thoughts filled Su Ming with curiosity, but for Xiao Wu, such speculations were still distant dreams.

At this moment, Er Ming had stopped in his tracks, utterly stunned by the sheer brilliance of Xiao Wu's fourth soul ring.

"Is this even something a person can achieve?" he murmured to himself.

Wait—no. Xiao Wu wasn't entirely human yet, but even so, it seemed impossible!

"Sister Xiao Wu, your fourth soul ring… is it really ten-thousand-year? Or 15,000 years? How did you manage that?" Er Ming stammered, his words clumsy with disbelief.

Xiao Wu and Su Ming exchanged a knowing smile. Xiao Wu said confidently, "Of course, it's all thanks to Brother Su Ming. Now you understand why I trust him so much, right? As long as Brother Su Ming promises something, he'll always make it happen!"

Er Ming remained stubborn. "Sister Xiao Wu, while I'm amazed by your ten-thousand-year fourth ring, I still don't believe Su Ming can resurrect your mother. The difficulty levels aren't even close!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu grew a little annoyed and was about to retort when Su Ming stopped her. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiao Wu, it's enough that you trust me. As for Er Ming, he just doesn't know me well enough yet. Once we reach Star Lake, we'll give both Da Ming and Er Ming a proper demonstration."

Xiao Wu tilted her head in confusion. "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Su Ming responded mysteriously, "When we get to Star Lake, the two of us can shed some of our disguises. I want to meet your brothers as my true self."

Disguises? Xiao Wu froze momentarily, then understood. Su Ming was planning to reveal his real self to her brothers, which deeply moved her. This gesture showed his trust in her and her family. It also demonstrated his desire for Da Ming and Er Ming's approval.

After all, Su Ming was currently just a Soul Elder at level 44. No matter how strong his hidden cards were, he couldn't possibly match two 100,000-year soul beasts. Without raw power to earn their respect, he had to rely on other means. Xiao Wu's thoughts swirled with emotions.

Su Ming, for his part, did have this intention. Furthermore, Da Ming and Er Ming, being soul beasts, rarely interacted with human Soul Masters and harbored inherent hostility towards them. With Xiao Wu by his side and their close bond, Er Ming had refrained from acting rashly. Had it been someone else…

What Su Ming didn't realize was that this move of his had touched Xiao Wu deeply. She saw it as proof of his unwavering trust in her and her family.

Of course, knowing the storyline, Su Ming trusted Da Ming and Er Ming's true natures. While they might have behaved questionably later due to their association with Tang San, Su Ming largely attributed those actions to Tang San's influence.

Er Ming, snapping out of his amazement, resumed his quick pace toward Star Lake. Though curious about Su Ming's so-called disguise, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, Su Ming was undeniably a Soul Elder. It wasn't like removing his disguise would transform him into a Titled Douluo capable of defeating them, right?

As they moved forward, Su Ming casually asked, "Xiao Wu, since your fourth soul ring is ten-thousand-year, you must be at level 42 now, right?"

Xiao Wu smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm already at level 42 and a half!"

Su Ming wasn't surprised. After all, in the original storyline, Tang San reached level 42 after absorbing the ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider.

With Xiao Wu now at level 42, Su Ming started planning for her fifth soul ring. When Xiao Wu reached level 50, her next soul ring should be the same as in the original. However, he felt it wasn't particularly practical and was determined to help her choose a more effective skill.

Feigning curiosity, he asked, "Xiao Wu, you mentioned earlier that you're following your mother's path. What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Wu, knowing Su Ming was merely pretending to be curious, chuckled softly. Who could know her better than Su Ming?

Still, she played along, explaining, "Brother, by following my mother's path, I mean that the four soul rings I've condensed so far are identical to hers, including the skills. Of course, there are minor differences due to the age of the rings, like the Invincible Golden Body."

Her explanation was precisely what Su Ming had expected. It also conveniently led into his next thoughts.
