Xiao Wu's room.
Xiao Wu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt her soul power surging within her body.
[Yesterday's Diary Reading Rewards Issued]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by 1 level]
Xiao Wu opened her eyes, feeling the increasing soul power within her body. She was stunned for a moment, then happily rolled around on the bed.
"Level 30! I can get my third spirit ring now! Even faster than getting three!"
She sat up, summoned her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and felt the more solidified soul power, a bright smile appearing on her face.
"Yu Tiancheng, you're such a good person! I don't know who you are, but thank you!"
But as she laughed, her expression gradually became complicated, and her ears unconsciously drooped down a little.
She picked up the diary from beside her pillow again and flipped through its contents.
"The Soul Hunting Project... the destruction of the three upper sects... the Spirit Hall..."
As a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu originally didn't care about the struggles in the human world. She only wanted to avenge her mother and then live and cultivate peacefully with Tang San.
However, the information revealed in the diary made it impossible for her to ignore it.
The Spirit Hall, the organization that hunted down her mother, forcing her to flee the Star Dou Great Forest.
If what Yu Tiancheng said is true, and the Spirit Hall will become so powerful in the future that it will launch the so-called "Soul Hunting Plan".
"Will there come a day when their targets for soul hunting are no longer human sects, but..."
Xiao Wu bit her lip, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
She thought of Da Ming and Er Ming, and of her powerful soul beast friends in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"No, we can't let them become powerful!"
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
"This Yu Tiancheng knows the future, and he also wants to change those tragedies."
If he succeeds and the Spirit Hall's plan is thwarted, that would be a good thing for Da Ming and Er Ming.
She jumped out of bed and paced around the room, deep in thought.
"After a while, Shrek Academy should be moving to Heaven Dou City and merging with that Blue Tyrant Academy..."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She was about to meet Yu Tiancheng!
"I need to see for myself what kind of person you really are. If he's a good person and genuinely wants to fight against the Spirit Hall..."
Xiao Wu smiled again, a hint of slyness in her eyes, "Helping him is helping my brother, helping myself, and helping Da Ming and Er Ming!"
She carefully put the diary away and decided not to tell Tang San about it for the time being.
After all, the origin of the diary is too mysterious and too troublesome to explain.
"I'll get my third soul ring first, then I'll talk about getting stronger!" Xiao Wu encouraged herself with great enthusiasm.
"Yu Tiancheng, see you in Tiandou City!"
The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong opened her eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful pupils.
[Yesterday's Diary Reading Rewards Issued]
[Reward: First Soul Ring's age increased by 500 years]
Bibi Dong felt a shock as she sensed the changes in her first spirit ring.
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and one of the few Super Douluo on the entire continent, she knew all too well what it meant to increase the age of a spirit ring—something only a god could do!
Now, just by reading a diary entry, her first spirit ring has increased from 423 years to 923 years!
Increasing the age of a soul ring means that the power of soul skills will increase, soul power will become more solid, and even cultivation speed will improve.
"The power behind this diary is absolutely god-level!"
And it's not necessarily inferior to the Rakshasa God.
Bibi Dong looked at the diary beside her, her eyes becoming deep.
She initially thought the diary might be a conspiracy orchestrated by some force to disrupt the situation on the mainland.
But now it seems that things are far from that simple.
The power to freely increase the age of spirit rings...
"Yu Tiancheng, who exactly are you?"
"And what is the purpose of the entity behind you?"
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the devout believers praying in the Spirit Hall square.
"Knowing about the Soul Hunting Project, they want to change the future."
"interesting."
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Then let me see how far you can go."
"If your appearance could truly change some predetermined fate..."
A complex expression flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.
"But if you dare to hinder the Spirit Hall's unification cause."
Even if you have a god behind you, I will still slay that god!
She turned back to the throne, opened the diary, and read it again.
This time, she read it even more carefully.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and also Liu Erlong's nephew..."
"It seems we need to send someone to Tiandou City to take a look."
Outside the gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Yu Tiancheng carried a simple bag.
He glanced back at the place where he had lived for twelve years.
"Bye now."
"When I come back next time, I will make you all look at me in a completely new light."
He turned and embarked on his journey to Tiandou City.
To save time, he deliberately chose a shortcut—passing through the outer perimeter of the Starry Sky Forest.
Although it's dangerous, the presence of the Time-Space Ring allows for continuous replenishment of soul power, greatly increasing travel efficiency.
and...
"There are many spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Maybe I can break through level 20 on the way and directly obtain my second spirit ring."
"The second soul ring of the Time-Space Dragon Emperor Martial Soul must be at least a thousand-year-old soul beast."
He touched the map in his pocket to determine the direction.
"At this speed, if we travel at full speed, we can cross the outer perimeter in two days, and then reach Tiandou City in a few more days."
Wishing you a smooth journey.
At the same time, on the Shrek Academy playground.
Dean Flander stood before the crowd, his expression serious.
"Today's lesson is simple, but also very important." His sharp gaze swept over each student present.
"Each of you must eat at least one of the two types of sausages created by Oscar's soul power."
After he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the playground.
Oscar's sausages were effective, but the spell...
Ning Rongrong bit her lip, the words from the diary flashing through her mind.
If we can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can we talk about becoming stronger? How can we talk about protecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
She took a deep breath, was the first to step forward, and walked up to Oscar: "Give it to me."
Oscar looked at her with some surprise, but still uttered the embarrassing incantation: "I have a big sausage!"
A steaming hot sausage appeared in his hand.
Ning Rongrong closed her eyes, took the sausage, and took a big bite.
The taste is actually pretty good?
She opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them, then finished the rest of the food without hesitation, and took the small sausage, which she also devoured quickly.
The whole process was swift and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.
A hint of approval flashed in Flander's eyes: "Very good, Ning Rongrong, you've passed."
With Ning Rongrong taking the lead, the others followed suit.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu... everyone ate Oscar's sausage.
Xiao Wu muttered to herself as she ate, "Actually, it's quite delicious."
Finally, there's Zhu Zhuqing.
The girl, who always had a cold face, walked forward expressionlessly, took the sausage, and ate it in small bites but very quickly. She didn't hesitate at all during the whole process, and her eyes didn't even flicker.
It was as if she wasn't eating that sausage with the infamous curse, but ordinary food.
"Very good." Flander nodded with satisfaction. "You all passed today's lesson. This shows that you have initially acquired the trust required for a team."
He paused, his voice becoming serious: "Tomorrow, Teacher Zhao Wuji will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third spirit ring."
"Remember, the Star Dou Great Forest is not the Soul Hunting Forest outside Soto City. It is fraught with danger, with thousand-year-old soul beasts everywhere, and you might even encounter ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Everyone must follow orders."
Oscar rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Finally, I'm going to get my third spirit ring. I wonder what kind of spirit skill it will be."
Ning Rongrong was a little nervous, but thinking of the future mentioned in her diary, she became more determined. She clenched her fists and told herself: This is just the beginning, I must become stronger.
Xiao Wu was somewhat looking forward to it—returning to the Star Dou Great Forest felt like coming home.
Tang San patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao is here. We'll be fine."
Zhu Zhuqing stood silently to the side, her eyes resolute.
Get stronger, acquire spirit rings, and then... go to Heaven Dou City.
She already had a clear roadmap in her mind.
As night fell, the Shrek Academy students returned to their rooms to rest and recharge for their forest adventure the next day.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Yu Tiancheng stayed at a small town inn half a day's journey from the Star Dou Great Forest.
