Thanks to the system, Bo Saixi now has a way to cultivate her spirit power, but enhancing her spiritual strength is another matter entirely since she doesn't possess a method for cultivating mental power.
Her current high level of spiritual power is merely a byproduct of her formidable soul power rank, allowing her spiritual abilities to naturally grow stronger. And yet, she wishes for a spiritual cultivation method—nothing extravagant, just something.
Bo Saixi sighed. She knew that without Su Ming's generosity, her wish for a mental cultivation technique would likely go unfulfilled.
Diary Entry: "With everything that's happened, Qian Renxue and I have become friends, at least for now. She even asked if I had any suggestions regarding her undercover work."
Diary Entry: "To be honest, I don't have much to add. As long as she doesn't behave as recklessly as in the original story, she should be fine. The reason Tang San could thwart her plans in the original was due to extensive support."
Diary Entry: "But this time, Tang San's trajectory has shifted significantly due to my influence. Without connections to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan or Dugu Bo, and after being dismissed from Lanba Academy, he has no ties to Liu Erlong either."
Diary Entry: "Now, instead of assisting Qian Renxue, Tang San's closest connection is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, given his attendance at Thunderclap Academy. So, the greatest threat to Qian Renxue is not Tang San, but the fourth prince, Xue Beng."
Diary Entry: "Though Xue Beng poses no immediate threat to Qian Renxue, he's like a venomous snake lying in wait. Should he find an opening, he won't hesitate to strike. After his brothers' deaths, Xue Xing reminded him of their poisoning, prompting Xue Beng to start playing the part of a depraved prince."
Diary Entry: "Qian Renxue's reasoning was understandable: only she and Xue Beng remained. If he also died, Emperor Xue Ye would be outraged and launch an investigation that could expose her."
Diary Entry: "But leaving Xue Beng alive is still risky, especially when Qian Renxue's methods rely solely on poison, which practically invites suspicion. She could be more discreet, maybe even enlist Ghost Douluo's help for a quiet assassination. Or better yet, let Xue Beng die a scandalous death in bed with a woman and a high-ranking official present!"
Diary Entry: "If Xue Beng were dead, Emperor Xue Ye wouldn't have a suitable successor. Any remaining princes are either incompetent or too young. The closest candidate would be his ambitious younger brother, Prince Xue Xing."
Diary Entry: "Xue Beng's survival is largely thanks to Xue Xing's counsel and scheming, guiding him through every step to avoid detection. Had Xue Beng not met Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, his 'waste prince' act might have been more convincing. Still, it's hard to believe he wasn't at least somewhat genuine in his misdeeds, like terrorizing commoners, frequenting brothels, and colluding with nobles."
Diary Entry: "In the original, Emperor Xue Ye even named Tang San as the Duke of Blue Tyrant after Qian Renxue's plan was foiled. The title granted Tang San authority second only to the emperor, even surpassing Ning Fengzhi."
Diary Entry: "To show sincerity, Emperor Xue Ye gifted Tang San the empire's prized artifact, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This artifact was pivotal for Tang San, ultimately facilitating his acceptance as Sea God and granting him the Sea God's Nine Trials on Sea God Island."
Diary Entry: "If only Emperor Xue Ye had known of the shroud's potential! Lacking recognition of the Sea God's will within it, he likely saw it as a mere treasure, and thus bestowed it upon Tang San. Would he die peacefully knowing his gift helped Tang San achieve divine power? Ha!"
Upon reading Su Ming's mention of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Bo Saixi's spirit stirred with intrigue.

Bo Saixi felt a powerful urge to leave Sea God Island, to reclaim the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Empire. It wasn't for her own aspirations to godhood—after all, as High Priestess, she couldn't inherit the Sea God position. It was simply a matter of the artifact rightfully belonging to Sea God Island, though somehow it had slipped away.
Unbeknownst to her, even without the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San would still have a high chance of obtaining and passing the Sea God's Nine Trials. In the original story, when Tang San reached the seventh trial and removed the Sea God Trident, he barely succeeded because the shroud's Sea God consciousness had already dissipated to protect him. This made wielding the trident much harder afterward, but he still achieved it. Without divine intervention, Su Ming could hardly believe Tang San would pass.
If Bo Saixi knew of the favoritism Tang San received, would she still feel the same loyalty to the Sea God? She would never imagine that her revered Sea God would bend so many rules to aid Tang San.
Diary Entry: "I'll definitely remind Qian Renxue about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Although she's only Heaven Dou's crown prince, making it hard to acquire, she should do everything she can to prevent Tang San from claiming it. It doesn't matter if I don't have it myself—I have no interest in the Sea God's inheritance anyway."
Diary Entry: "Even if Renxue can't claim it herself, just knowing where it's kept could allow Ghost Douluo to snatch it. With his concealment abilities, Heaven Dou's palace shouldn't be much of an obstacle. It's not that I underestimate the Heaven Dou Royal Family, but a Rank 95 Titled Douluo like Ghost Douluo is beyond their defenses."
Reading this, Qian Renxue thought Su Ming had a point. If the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was linked to Tang San's divine destiny, she had to obtain it at all costs. Still, she worried that even if the shroud was out of Tang San's reach, he might still find his way to Sea God Island by sheer fate, where he could receive the Sea God's legacy regardless.
Diary Entry: "Renxue and I have now established a friendship. As for her becoming my partner, well… maybe that's aiming a little high. Gotta know my limits!"
Diary Entry: "Once the tournament ends, I'll find a way to join Spirit Hall. Honestly, the main reason I came to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was to meet Qian Renxue, with Dugu Bo as a secondary reason, and the tournament was just a convenient benefit."
Diary Entry: "For the tournament alone, I could've joined any academy—Tianshui Academy, for example, wouldn't have been a bad choice. Tianshui's team, the 'Tianshui Girls,' are all beauties. Even without expecting victory, the scenery alone would have made it worthwhile!"
The female protagonists reading this had mixed reactions. Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu from Tianshui Academy couldn't help but wish Su Ming had chosen their school. If he were part of their academy, they would have had ample opportunities to get to know him, not to mention extra rewards for team cooperation. Shui Yue'er, particularly taken by Su Ming's looks, was mildly disappointed but happy to see he at least appreciated their team's appeal.
Diary Entry: "As for using the academy's resources and later joining Spirit Hall—is that betrayal? Personally, I don't think so."
Diary Entry: "The academy's resources are barely necessary for us. With support from her clan, Ning Rongrong hardly needs academy provisions anyway; Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan resources are far superior."
Diary Entry: "I'll compete in the tournament and aim to bring honor to Heaven Dou Academy. Achieving first place with them is a contribution, considering their real ability would only take them to the quarter-finals."
Many of the other readers weren't surprised by Su Ming's confidence; knowing his true strength, winning the tournament felt as simple as taking candy from a baby.
