Bibi Dong thought about Su Ming's ability to resurrect Ah Rou or perhaps the possibility of obtaining a revival-related reward.
Even though she knew Su Ming's Rinnegan had the power to resurrect, she was certain there must be some sort of side effect, as resurrection was too powerful an ability. There was no point in thinking about it too much now. All she could do was avoid using Ah Rou's spirit ring and spirit bone to preserve Ah Rou's soul as much as possible. Fortunately, Ah Rou was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, so her soul was strong enough to not dissipate easily.
Meanwhile, after finishing lunch, Su Ming and Xiao Wu returned to Notting Academy.
They went to a quiet, secluded spot because Su Ming wanted to test the power of his martial spirit and experiment with some basic Wood Release techniques. He asked Xiao Wu to help him assess the strength of his abilities.
Su Ming said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, I want to test the power of my martial spirit, and I have some self-created spirit skills I'd like to try out. Can you help me gauge their power?"
Xiao Wu thought to herself, 'You're sure these are self-created skills and not just system-gifted Wood Release techniques?' Though inwardly skeptical, she nodded, interested in seeing how her own Wind God Leg technique would fare. She had started practicing it that morning and, although not fully mastered, it was ready for a test.
Once they were ready, Su Ming thought for a moment and decided which Wood Release technique to use.
Recalling the hand signs used by Senju Hashirama, he clasped his hands together and called out, "Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"
Xiao Wu was surprised. Was Wood Release really that simple? Just clasping hands and shouting? How bizarre!
In the next moment, wooden pillars rose from the ground and curved around to form a circular shield, protecting Su Ming.
Su Ming assessed the consumption of his spirit power. It had taken about a third of his total spirit power to create the Wood Locking Wall. And this was with a normal casting—he hadn't even infused extra spirit power to strengthen it. It became clear that his current spirit power quality and quantity still had room for improvement. If the basic Wood Locking Wall used up a third of his spirit power, there was no point in even trying more advanced techniques like Wood Release: Tree Bind Flourish. That would likely drain him completely.
Su Ming wanted his Wood Release to be as powerful as Senju Hashirama's, not like Yamato's, which was only useful for landscaping and construction.
Pushing those thoughts aside, Su Ming emerged from the shield and said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, try attacking this shield to see how strong its defense is."
Xiao Wu, eager to test its durability, quickly gathered her strength and attacked the Wood Locking Wall with her legs in rapid succession.
On her first kick, the wall didn't budge. The second kick caused a slight crack, and by the third kick, the wall was covered in cracks. It wasn't until her fourth kick that the wall shattered completely.
Su Ming was satisfied. It took four kicks from Xiao Wu to break through, and considering that she likely had already absorbed her first spirit ring, her physical attributes would have been enhanced. For the Wood Locking Wall to withstand multiple strikes was a good sign. With time, as he compressed and improved his spirit power, its defense should only grow stronger.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was dissatisfied with her own performance. Her kicks were progressively stronger, and even at level 11, it had taken four kicks to break through the wall. She resolved to train harder with her Wind God Leg technique so that next time, she could shatter the shield in a single strike.
Still, Xiao Wu couldn't help but marvel at the power of Wood Release. The shield was made of wood, yet its defense was remarkably strong!
If only Xiao Wu knew that this technique was one of the most basic Wood Release defensive techniques—what would she think then?
With the defensive technique tested, Su Ming moved on to an offensive, or rather, control-type technique. Given that he had two-thirds of his spirit power left, he chose something simpler.
Turning to Xiao Wu, he said, "I'm going to try a control skill now. Stand still and see if you can break free."
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
"Wood Release: Silent Strangling Binding!" Su Ming clasped his hands together, and a flurry of branches shot from his hand toward Xiao Wu, quickly wrapping around her and binding her tightly.
Su Ming checked his spirit power consumption—about a quarter had been used up, which was acceptable.
"Xiao Wu, try breaking out of it."
Xiao Wu struggled with all her strength but couldn't budge. The branches wrapped tightly around her, restricting her movements.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Su Ming released the Wood Release technique. He thought to himself that this was a far better control skill than Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Binding.
With enough control over his martial spirit, he could easily perform such bindings without needing to waste a spirit ring slot for it. Su Ming inwardly criticized Tang San's first spirit skill, which was just a basic entangling ability from a 400-year-old Datura Snake, with a slight paralyzing effect. This skill was practically useless against higher-level spirit masters, yet Yu Xiaogang considered it decent—a waste of a spirit skill slot!
After being freed from the binding, Xiao Wu bounced back to Su Ming's side, exclaiming, "Su Ming, your self-created spirit skills are amazing!"
"And you haven't even absorbed your first spirit ring yet. Once you do, these skills will probably get even stronger!"
Su Ming nodded, satisfied with the results. While his tests had gone well, there was still much room for improvement if he wanted his Wood Release to rival Hashirama's.
Lastly, Su Ming wanted to test the healing properties of his Wood Release. Shortly after his martial spirit awakened, he realized it had a passive ability: healing.
Without hesitation, Su Ming bit his lip and cut his palm with a wooden spike, ignoring the pain.
Xiao Wu, shocked, cried out, "Su Ming, what are you doing? Why would you hurt yourself like that?"
Su Ming explained, "My martial spirit has healing abilities, so I wanted to test how effective they are."
Xiao Wu hadn't realized that Su Ming's martial spirit had passive healing capabilities. Impressed, she watched as Su Ming activated the healing effect of his Wood Release. In less than a second, the cut on his hand closed up completely, using minimal spirit power.
Su Ming was deep in thought. The passive healing ability of the wood element seemed quite decent for now.
He guessed that the healing power of the wood element probably worked by consuming an amount of spirit power proportional to the amount of injury healed, somewhat similar to the Nine Heart Begonia martial spirit.
However, since healing was only a passive ability of the wood element, its current effectiveness was definitely not on par with Nine Heart Begonia. Once Su Ming's spirit power level increased, it might evolve to the point of being able to heal himself without hand signs, just like Senju Hashirama!
Afterward, Su Ming and Xiao Wu temporarily parted ways to focus on their respective training.
Su Ming found it strange. When had Xiao Wu become so dedicated to training?
Shaking his head, Su Ming headed outside the academy. He wanted to test the effects of the low-grade body refining liquid, but it wasn't appropriate to do so within the academy, so he decided to rent a room in town.
Su Ming bought a large wooden tub for bathing, then checked into a hotel, tipping the staff to help fill the tub with water.
Once everything was ready, Su Ming poured one bottle of the body refining liquid into the water, which immediately turned milky white.
He then undressed and soaked in the tub. His body tingled slightly, with a bit of stinging pain, but it was still bearable.
Su Ming speculated that the body refining liquid wouldn't have a huge effect on him since his body had already been strengthened once before. The low-grade liquid might not be potent enough.
Since he didn't have any special body refining techniques, his body had to absorb the liquid on its own, wasting some of the medicinal effects and taking longer.
But Su Ming had a solution. He began circulating his Wood Sutra technique while soaking, allowing him to refine his body and cultivate spirit power simultaneously.
Time passed, and by the end of the afternoon, Su Ming had used up three bottles of the refining liquid. The remaining seven bottles no longer had any noticeable effect on him.
Su Ming had initially expected more from the body refining liquid, but now he realized that, being "low-grade," it wasn't very potent. Still, he estimated that with his current physical condition, he could probably absorb a 2,000-year spirit ring without issue.
After cleaning up, Su Ming returned to Notting Academy.
With Tang San still away, Su Ming felt a bit bored. He had been hoping to find a reason to spar with him. With no other options, he decided to continue cultivating.
Finally, midnight arrived—the moment everyone had been waiting for.
All the female characters fought off their drowsiness, eager to see what reward Su Ming would receive. They suspected that today's reward would go to Bibi Dong, assuming she was also a diary holder.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary entry. Reward: Mental Technique "Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method" (Douluo version), One Misfortune Talisman, 10 bottles of Fat House Happy Water]
Whoa!
Su Ming was thrilled—his luck today was incredible! He had drawn a mental technique, meaning his Sharingan could now begin serious cultivation.
If he remembered correctly, this technique was quite formidable, though the "Douluo version" made things interesting. His Wood Release was also a Douluo version, indicating that the original versions were too powerful for this world to handle.
Curious, Su Ming checked the descriptions of the three rewards.
[Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method (Douluo version)]: A spiritual cultivation technique from Yuan Zun, adapted for the Douluo world by the system. It involves using a mental millstone to grind and reconstruct the soul, enhancing mental strength.
[Misfortune Talisman]: Mentally designate a target, causing something unfortunate to happen to them. Use with caution—muhaha!
[Fat House Happy Water]: A carbonated drink. You'll want a bottle—trust me.
Su Ming thought to himself that although the mental cultivation method was powerful, it would be quite torturous to practice. Couldn't the system have granted him a more conventional technique? But, having it was better than nothing. Pain was just part of the process.
After opening and drinking one of the "Fat House Happy Waters" (which was refreshingly chilled), Su Ming burped in satisfaction. "Ahh, that's the stuff!" he said. He had missed this kind of soda—there was nothing like it in this world.
With the rewards claimed, Su Ming decided to record today's diary entry.
[Today's rewards were extremely lucky—another day of supreme luck! I received a mental cultivation technique, the "Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method." This technique originally comes from a much stronger world, but it's been modified by the system to suit this world. The original technique would've been too much for the Douluo world to handle.]
The female characters were shocked and envious. They hadn't expected Su Ming to receive such a powerful mental cultivation technique. In the Douluo world, there were no mental cultivation methods. Mental strength could only be enhanced through raising spirit power levels or by absorbing a spirit bone. Now, with this technique, it would be much easier for Su Ming to strengthen his mental abilities.
Xiao Wu was especially excited. Su Ming would soon be able to cultivate his mental strength, and it wouldn't be long before his Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan. The day her mother could be revived didn't seem far off.
However, Xiao Wu wasn't sure how to repay Su Ming. The diary had given her rewards, and Su Ming had even expressed his desire to help revive her mother. She couldn't think of anything valuable enough to offer in return.
She remembered how Su Ming had initially called her his wife when he first received the diary. The thought made her blush. Did this mean she really had to become Su Ming's wife? Su Ming was handsome, strong, and mysterious, so marrying him didn't seem too bad, right?
The only downside was that Su Ming seemed a bit of a pervert and was likely to be involved with more than one woman in the future.
If Su Ming knew what she was thinking, he'd probably respond, "Don't slander me! I only act like a pervert with my wife. I won't even look at anyone else!"
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong also felt a sense of hope. Soon, Ah Rou would be able to return to life.
The diary updated once more.
[Though the mental cultivation method is powerful, it's not easy to practice. The technique involves a mental millstone in your spiritual space that grinds and reconstructs the soul, breaking it down and rebuilding it to enhance mental strength!]
