Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Su Ming revealed his martial soul and explained calmly, "As you can see, my martial soul is the Wood Element. The three of your hundred-thousand-year spirit rings are not suitable for me. Besides, Xiao Wu is now my family. No matter how much I need spirit rings, I would never harm her. Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Da Ming temporarily put aside his hostility. He decided to observe the situation further. Moreover, Su Ming was only a Spirit Ancestor with four rings, far from being a threat to him or Er Ming. While a twelve-year-old Spirit Ancestor was remarkable, it wasn't enough to pique Da Ming's concern.

Er Ming then recounted everything he had heard from Su Ming on their journey, leaving it to the more analytical Da Ming to determine the veracity of the claims and decide whether Su Ming could be trusted.

After a while, Da Ming looked at Su Ming in astonishment. This human claimed to have a method to resurrect Xiao Wu's mother—and Xiao Wu believed him!

Initially, Da Ming thought Su Ming was boasting. Resurrecting a soul beast or human was no easy feat. He had deliberated over it for years and come up with a barely feasible method, but it required harsh conditions that no one had ever attempted.

Yet, Su Ming's proposed method seemed far simpler, requiring only a corpse as a medium. However, Xiao Wu's mother's body had long been buried, leaving only bones.

Adding to the astonishment, Er Ming mentioned that Xiao Wu had just condensed a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring. This defied logic. According to the Spirit Master world's standard configurations, the fourth ring should typically peak at about five thousand years. All of this, apparently, was thanks to Su Ming.

With this information, Da Ming decided to listen to Su Ming's resurrection plan before making any decisions.

However, before discussing resurrection, Da Ming was particularly curious about Xiao Wu's ten-thousand-year fourth ring. How did Su Ming achieve such a feat?

He asked, "Human—no, Su Ming—can you explain how you helped Xiao Wu condense a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring?"

Su Ming replied evenly, "The key to condensing high-level spirit rings lies in whether one's body can endure them. Xiao Wu condensed her rings herself. Unlike us human Spirit Masters, who must resist the resentful remnants of a spirit beast's consciousness when absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring, Xiao Wu's enhanced physique naturally allowed her to condense higher-tier rings."

He continued, "Ordinary training alone wouldn't suffice. I developed a body-strengthening technique called the Spirit Power Refining Technique. It involves using one's spirit power to temper the body. The higher the quality of spirit power, the faster the process. Of course, this requires precise control over one's spirit power—a level of mastery Xiao Wu, as a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form, possesses without difficulty."

Of course, Su Ming wasn't about to reveal the system's existence to Da Ming and Er Ming. He attributed the technique to his own research—after all, no one could prove otherwise.

(Xiao Wu: I know the truth though…)

Da Ming was taken aback by Su Ming's explanation. While it sounded unconventional, it made sense when applied to someone like Xiao Wu. Her nature as a transformed spirit beast meant she faced no barriers in manipulating her spirit power.

But Su Ming? How could he accomplish such a feat?

As Da Ming saw it, Su Ming's spirit rings were obtained through hunting spirit beasts, and the lingering consciousness from those beasts would naturally hinder a human Spirit Master's control over their spirit power. The higher the rank, the greater the limitation.

Still, it seemed Su Ming had his own unique methods, and pressing him further would be inappropriate.

Observing Da Ming's reaction, Su Ming knew he had earned a small measure of trust—perhaps not much, but enough for now.

At this point, Er Ming chimed in, "Su Ming, why is your martial soul's spirit ring configuration still yellow, yellow, purple, purple? It's nothing like Xiao Wu's."

Since Da Ming was now addressing Su Ming by name, Er Ming followed suit, abandoning the term "human."

Su Ming exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu, and they both nodded. They deactivated the concealment on their spirit rings.

In an instant, the colors of their rings changed. Xiao Wu's rings shifted from yellow-yellow-purple-black to yellow-purple-purple-black.

This left Da Ming and Er Ming thoroughly stunned. Xiao Wu's concealment method had been flawless, even fooling them!

But what truly shocked them was Su Ming's spirit ring configuration, which transformed from yellow-yellow-purple-purple to black-black-black-black. This surpassed even Xiao Wu's absurd setup.

The two spirit beasts couldn't help but wonder if they had been secluded for too long, missing out on recent developments.

Even with the Spirit Power Refining Technique, Da Ming found it hard to believe that Su Ming's first ring could have absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit beast. Who would have facilitated such a feat? Clearly, Su Ming was hiding a deeper secret.

Still, as long as Xiao Wu was safe, Da Ming chose not to pry further. Observing Su Ming's attitude toward Xiao Wu, he didn't sense any ill intentions like coveting spirit rings or spirit bones. This bolstered Da Ming's trust slightly.

Finally, Da Ming asked, "Su Ming, you are indeed the most extraordinary human Spirit Master I've ever encountered. Although Er Ming and I cannot fully trust you yet, we're both curious about the method you claim can resurrect Xiao Wu's mother."

"If you can convince us, we'll acknowledge your relationship with Xiao Wu and set aside our hostility. Should you need our assistance in the future, we'll do our best to help, provided your claims are truthful."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu realized Da Ming had a favorable impression of Su Ming but wanted a concrete plan for her mother's resurrection.

However, Xiao Wu also understood that Su Ming currently lacked the ability to fulfill such a promise. Mere words might not convince Da Ming and Er Ming. Without access to Su Ming's diary, the two spirit beasts could never comprehend the full picture.

This thought left Xiao Wu feeling conflicted. Da Ming and Er Ming were her only remaining family, and she sincerely hoped they could accept Su Ming.
