Kapitel 73: Chapter 73: Xiao Wu: How Did I Get Hurt Again? Su Ming’s Delight, the Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting!

[Later, Ning Rongrong got so upset that she asked Tang San to kill Dai Mubai, offering the friendship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan as a reward. I can only say Ning Rongrong was thinking too much.]

[Tang San didn't know her well, and he was too proud to help her kill someone. Ultimately, this matter was left unresolved. Later, Ning Rongrong seemed to genuinely reflect on herself, realizing that outside of her clan's advantages, she had no reason to be arrogant at Shrek Academy. So, she stopped acting out and began to truly change!]

Ning Rongrong let out a sigh of relief after reading this. Thankfully, she had the ability to reflect and didn't continue down a self-destructive path. If she had kept going, even with her father and two grandfathers protecting her, she wouldn't have achieved much.

Furthermore, she realized that Dai Mubai, as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, still held some power despite fleeing to the Heaven Dou Empire. He could easily use underhanded tactics against her.

Her father, as the head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, would face a tough decision—either stand up for her by retaliating against Dai Mubai, or put the clan's interests first and let it go.

Ning Rongrong believed that, even if her father wanted to avenge her, he would prioritize the clan's future. However, her two grandfathers, who were more protective, might become enraged and directly kill Dai Mubai, putting the clan in great danger. After all, Dai Mubai was still a prince, and the royal family wouldn't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan get away with it for the sake of the empire's dignity.

Now more mature and thoughtful, Ning Rongrong could see the bigger picture.

Both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt relieved after reading about Ning Rongrong's eventual change of heart. Had she not changed, living with her might have been unbearable. They also realized that, given the system's nature, Ning Rongrong likely also possessed a diary, meaning the future events written here might not happen anymore.

Years of reading Su Ming's diary had likely taught Ning Rongrong much about her clan's future, including its destruction. She had probably devised plans to prevent that and had matured considerably.

Additionally, with shared secrets and goals, their relationship should be easier, possibly even fostering mutual encouragement and progress.

[I've written so much about Ning Rongrong's early days at Shrek that I've gone off-topic. Why can't I control my thoughts? I need to fix this bad habit!]

Ning Rongrong: No, please write more about me! Even if it's embarrassing, it helps me learn my weaknesses, and I get rewards! It's great, really!

[Let's return to Shrek Academy's entrance exam. In the original story, Tang San and the others were all above level 25, so they skipped the second and third rounds and went straight to the fourth. And the judge for the fourth round was none other than the Immovable King, Zhao Wuji!]

Upon hearing the name "Immovable King," Ning Rongrong immediately remembered who Zhao Wuji was. Isn't he the guy being hunted by the Spirit Hall? She didn't expect him to be hiding here as a teacher!

[Originally, the fourth round required Tang San and the others to team up and endure one incense stick's worth of time against Dai Mubai's attacks to pass.]

[If nothing had gone wrong, they would've easily passed this test. If Tang San had gone all out, Dai Mubai wouldn't have stood a chance. Plus, with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing supporting, along with Ning Rongrong's boosts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, their combined combat power would've overwhelmed Dai Mubai, a mere level 37 Soul Elder.]

[However, Zhao Wuji decided to change the rules and have them withstand his attacks instead. Zhao Wuji is a level 76 Soul Saint with the Martial Soul Vigorous Vajra Bear, while Tang San and the others weren't even at level 30 yet. They probably couldn't even break through his defense! It was ridiculous.]

[As expected, they failed the challenge. But given the circumstances, it was understandable, considering Zhao Wuji was taking advantage of his power.]

[Of course, there was a little twist—because how else could our protagonist Tang San show off his greatness?]

As Su Ming wrote this, the girls began to guess—was this related to the hint he had given Tang San earlier?

[During the battle against Zhao Wuji, Xiao Wu tried to use her second soul skill, Charm, on him. But Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable King, was far too powerful, and their mental power levels were vastly different. As a result, Xiao Wu was backlashed and fainted. I'll have to remind her tomorrow not to do anything reckless—I don't want to see her hurt again.]

Xiao Wu: Why is this happening to me again? I have a bad feeling... Am I going to get hurt again, only for Tang San to become all-powerful afterward?

[As I mentioned before, whenever Xiao Wu gets hurt, that's when Tang San starts going all out. If she doesn't get injured, it's like he can't fight properly. Sigh, it's frustrating.]

[Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San asked Zhu Zhuqing to take care of her, then demanded a rematch against Zhao Wuji, saying he'd face him alone for an incense stick's worth of time. It's honestly laughable. Why wait until now to go all out? If he thought he could fight Zhao Wuji, why not from the start? Does he always need Xiao Wu to get hurt before taking things seriously?]

[Even though Xiao Wu's injury might not have been part of Tang San's plan, this whole situation feels avoidable. We can't let Xiao Wu keep getting hurt for Tang San to fight at full strength. What if one day she's fatally wounded?]

[I get more frustrated the more I think about it! Injuries are inevitable in battle, so I need to do my best to protect Xiao Wu. The best way to prevent tragedy is to fight at full strength from the start!]

[Zhao Wuji was surprised by Tang San's challenge but agreed, likely curious to see how capable Tang San really was.]

[Once everything was ready, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, placed his hand on his soul tool, and prepared to unleash his hidden weapons. His cold gaze made Zhao Wuji feel a shiver of unease. The battle began.]

[Because Tang San's soul power was too low to break Zhao Wuji's defense, he relied heavily on hidden weapons, using them to strike at weak points. Combined with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand techniques, he pushed Zhao Wuji to use his fifth soul skill, which was impressive.]

The girls were shocked. They hadn't expected Tang San to have such power, forcing Zhao Wuji to use his fifth soul skill—even if Zhao Wuji wasn't going all out, it was still remarkable!

[Ultimately, it was Tang San's newly acquired Dragon Beard Needles that gave Zhao Wuji the most trouble. As I mentioned earlier, the Dragon Beard Needles are extremely effective against Zhao Wuji's type of defense.]

[Tang San timed his attack perfectly, firing several Dragon Beard Needles into Zhao Wuji's body. While the needles weren't miraculous enough to tear through his flesh completely, they still caused him a lot of pain.]

[In the end, Tang San won the fight.]

The girls were astonished. Tang San had managed to defeat a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji! Though there were mitigating factors, it was still something to be proud of.

[That's why I subtly hinted to Tang San today. I hope tomorrow, during the battle, he'll use his hidden weapons at the right time. With my Wood Release supporting him and me revealing a bit more of my strength, we should be able to defeat Zhao Wuji.]

[With Tang San showing his strength first, I can reveal some of mine without it seeming too suspicious. After that, Tang Hao can leave without worrying too much.]

[I don't want to outshine Tang San too much while Tang Hao is around. Although I've surpassed him significantly, I'm still within a reasonable range. After all, Tang San is supposed to be my friend.]

[Besides, Tang San has twin martial souls. Tang Hao probably believes that once Tang San masters the Clear Sky Hammer and awakens his Blue Silver Grass at level 50, he'll surpass me. That's probably Tang Hao's confidence in his son's potential.]

[Moreover, Tang San will need comrades to fight against the Spirit Hall in the future. That's why Tang Hao is looking for talented people to form a team with Tang San, and it worked. In the future, Tang San's group of seven would lead the charge against the Spirit Hall.]

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue furrowed their brows. So Tang Hao is already scheming to oppose the Spirit Hall, with Tang San's team as the main force? They realized they needed to act sooner rather than later, making preparations for the inevitable confrontation.

[Still, there's something I find odd. Why hasn't Tang Hao reacted to my close relationship with Xiao Wu? Wouldn't he want Xiao Wu to develop feelings for Tang San and then arrange for her to 'accidentally' sacrifice herself later?]

Xiao Wu: Su Ming, you're overthinking it! Please, system, keep Su Ming confused!

Su Ming casually asked the system, "System, do you know why?"

The system: ...

[Ding! Host, is it possible that Tang Hao plans to wait until Tang San reaches the Soul Douluo level before orchestrating Xiao Wu's death? Right now, Tang San's strength isn't there yet, so he's letting things play out. Maybe he expects you all to stay together for a while, growing closer, and only later would he take action.]

[That actually makes a lot of sense. If that's the case, I need to be extra cautious moving forward. I can't let Xiao Wu out of my sight, and even if she's far from me, I'll need to give her some Soul Douluo-level protective items.]

[After asking the system, I now think Tang Hao might wait until Tang San is stronger before targeting Xiao Wu. The system's reasoning makes sense.]

Xiao Wu: Well done, system!

The system: Hehe, the host is so easy to mislead.

Ah Yin: She still didn't fully believe that her Tang would go that far unless she saw it with her own eyes. She clung to a small hope that maybe Tang Hao wouldn't do it.

Soon, midnight arrived once more.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing today's diary entry and triggering a critical reward.]

[Rewards received: One Divine Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes of Truth, and the Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting.]

Su Ming: Holy! A critical reward! And these are incredible rewards!

The Divine Bestowed Soul Ring was self-explanatory, but he didn't need it right now, so he set it aside. The Fiery Eyes of Truth, allowing him to see through all illusions and perceive the truth, was perfect for complementing his Sharingan's abilities.

However, the most valuable reward to him was the Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting. The guide contained detailed instructions on creating various talismans, including space, transfer, explosion, and lightning talismans!

Each type of talisman required different materials, and the guide categorized them into nine levels, corresponding to the nine stages of a soul master—simple yet effective.

Su Ming believed that if talisman crafting spread across the Douluo Continent, it could spark a massive technological revolution, possibly even creating a new profession—talisman masters.

For now, though, he didn't plan to share the method of making talismans. It was one of his trump cards. The only downside was that he'd have to learn everything from scratch, so it would take some time and effort.

But Su Ming knew it was worth it—talismans were far superior to Tang San's hidden weapons!


Kapitel 74: Chapter 74: The Difficulty of Making Talismans, Ning Rongrong's Envy!

After receiving so many amazing rewards, Su Ming was eager to record everything.

[Amazing, absolutely amazing! I triggered a critical reward today!]

The girls were curious. What kind of reward could make Su Ming this excited? It seemed the diary hadn't provided any impressive rewards for a while, only giving vague and misleading ones over the past few days.

[There were three rewards in total. The first is the Divine Bestowed Soul Ring, which is incredibly useful, though I don't need it right now. I still haven't decided on the type of ability I want for my next soul ring.]

[Plus, while the Divine Bestowed Soul Ring grants the most suitable soul skill for the user, it may not always be the one I want. So, I'll keep it for now.]

Bibi Dong: The most suitable soul skill, and you're still not satisfied? Give it to me! I'd love to have one! This damn Rakshasa God hasn't even given me a single Divine Bestowed Soul Ring!

The other girls were equally frustrated and envious of Su Ming's casual attitude toward such a reward. If you don't want it, give it to us!

[The second reward is a skill called Fiery Eyes of Truth. It's a visual technique, though its effects are more limited. It allows me to see through all illusions and identify a soul beast's true form, even if it's taken human shape. Seeing through disguises like women dressed as men will be a breeze.]

[This ability is somewhat similar to Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, which also has those first two functions, but mine doesn't require cultivation. And unlike the Purple Demon Eye, I can easily see through someone's disguise.]

[The third reward is what I've been most excited about. I didn't expect the system to give it to me today!]

The girls speculated on what could have made Su Ming so thrilled.

[The third reward is a book called The Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting. It details how to make various talismans, divided into categories like attack, defense, and special types. For example, there's the space talisman, teleportation talisman, and defensive talisman.]

[However, even though I have this guide, I still need to learn how to craft the talismans myself. It's not like the system will just magically pour all the knowledge and skills into my head.]

[But that's okay! I'm not greedy. Having this guide is already a huge win. Really, I'm satisfied!]

The system: ...

The girls were stunned. The system is being this generous? They found it hard to believe. While the system hadn't handed Su Ming everything on a silver platter, just having the guide was already impressive.

If the system had done everything for him, it would've seemed too overpowered.

They had already noticed that the system didn't grant Su Ming overpowered rewards instantly. Even in the past, things like the Wood Elemental Scripture, the Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Technique, and Ling Bo Weaving Steps still required him to train and master them himself.

If the system had simply boosted his soul power or mental strength directly, Su Ming wouldn't have become a true master—he would've been just a puppet relying on his luck. They realized that the real value lay in the opportunities the system provided, not in shortcuts.

[I also checked the info on the Misfortune Talisman. It turns out that it's considered a high-level special talisman, which surprised me. I thought it would be pretty low-level since all it does is cause bad luck.]

The girls: ...

[But after thinking about it, the Misfortune Talisman affects a person's luck. Even if it doesn't kill someone outright, making someone unlucky involves complex processes and rare materials, which makes it challenging to craft.]

[The levels of talismans range from one to nine, corresponding to the nine stages of soul masters. The effect and power of each talisman depend on the materials used and the skill of the person making it. It's quite complex.]

[For example, a second-tier Explosive Talisman at its highest level would be as strong as the full-strength attack of a level 20 power-type soul master with the best soul ring configuration, excluding those who absorbed higher-level rings.]

The girls were shocked. These talismans seemed quite powerful, though it still depended on the creator's abilities.

Both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who had used talismans before, could deeply appreciate their practicality. Talismans were incredibly convenient and didn't consume soul power like soul skills. Zhu Zhuqing, for instance, wouldn't have reached the Heaven Dou Empire so easily without her space talisman, avoiding multiple assassination attempts.

Bibi Dong considered the larger implications. If these talismans were as powerful as Su Ming claimed, they could revolutionize the continent, potentially triggering a technological transformation!

After all, unlike soul rings, which limited how many abilities a soul master could have, talismans had no such restrictions.

However, Bibi Dong had a question: Could only soul masters use talismans, or could ordinary people use them too? If it were the latter, it would be a huge boon for non-soul masters.

Still, talismans would likely be expensive, making them out of reach for the common person. Bibi Dong decided to shelve these concerns for now. She believed that as the continent advanced, affordable self-defense tools would become available to all. She had faith in Su Ming to lead such innovations.

[But there's one immediate obstacle to making talismans—materials! Not to mention, the talisman paper itself is a problem. It's not just ordinary paper; it has to be of extremely high quality, or it will easily break during the crafting process.]

The girls realized that Su Ming wouldn't be producing talismans anytime soon. It seemed they would have to wait quite a while to see a finished product.

After writing this, Su Ming paused. He understood that learning to craft talismans was no easy feat, and gathering the necessary materials was a significant challenge.

However, he couldn't just sit around and do nothing. He decided to start by practicing drawing talisman patterns on ordinary paper. Each talisman had different symbols, and as the talismans increased in power, the symbols became more complex. He needed to familiarize himself with the process before attempting the real thing.

[Ding! Today's mentions of female leads: Xiao Wu, 18 times; Ning Rongrong, 25 times; Zhu Zhuqing, 5 times.]

[The most mentioned female lead today: Ning Rongrong.]

Ning Rongrong anxiously watched her diary. This was her second time receiving such a reward in six years. The first had been the Glazed Jade Pendant, which had been incredibly useful. She wondered what she'd get this time.

[Since Ning Rongrong was mentioned the most, a critical reward has been triggered: a 100,000-year left arm soul bone.]

Ning Rongrong couldn't hide her joy. She was thrilled! Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan wasn't lacking in soul bones, none had ever been this exceptional, and none had been suitable for her. But a 100,000-year soul bone—this was beyond amazing!

Carefully, she stored the soul bone in her soul tool. Now wasn't the time to absorb it.

The next day, Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy, which was located in the countryside. There was already a long line of people waiting to register.

Xiao Wu, seeing the academy's dilapidated appearance, immediately complained to Tang San, "Tang San, is this really the academy Grandmaster recommended? Look at it! It's falling apart!"

"Do you realize that because we trusted Grandmaster's words, Su Ming and I rejected every other invitation from the intermediate soul master academies? Grandmaster said this was an academy for monsters, but this?"

Su Ming, playing along, gave Tang San an expectant look, as if waiting for an explanation.

Tang San scratched his head awkwardly under Xiao Wu's accusations. It wasn't his fault! He hadn't expected the academy to look like this either. Compared to even Notting Academy, Shrek looked terrible. Could this place really attract talented students?

Despite his doubts, Tang San tried to reassure them, "Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe the facilities aren't great, but they could still have good resources. Otherwise, why would so many people be lining up to register?"

Seeing Tang San's optimism, Su Ming and Xiao Wu begrudgingly agreed to wait and see.

The three of them got in line, and Su Ming turned on his recording device, planning to document the entrance process. He also took a panoramic shot of the entire academy.

While filming, Su Ming looked around but didn't see Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing, guessing that they hadn't arrived yet.

The girls watching the live feed were immediately glued to the screen. They remembered that Su Ming had said he would be filming Shrek Academy today, and they were curious to see what the academy was really like.

Meanwhile, both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were not far from the academy and had already gotten a good look at it.

One word: shabby.

Two words: extremely shabby.

Three words: unbelievably shabby.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had been curious about what kind of academy could claim to only admit monsters, but now they were disappointed. Zhu Zhuqing even wondered what had motivated Dai Mubai to come here.

As they walked, their eyes met briefly as they glanced at their ethereal diaries. Each girl's diary had their name on it—one said "Ning Rongrong's Exclusive," and the other "Zhu Zhuqing's Exclusive."

Both knew each other's names from Su Ming's diary, but they hadn't known what each other looked like until now.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Ning Rongrong's gaze lingered a bit longer on Zhu Zhuqing's impressive figure before glancing down at her own.

Ning Rongrong: Unfair! Could this be what Su Ming meant by "can't see your toes, a beauty for sure"? She is really pretty, but...

She looked down again. Hmm, still can see my toes...

Ning Rongrong wondered what Zhu Zhuqing had eaten growing up. She was sure her diet had been excellent too, so why was her figure...?

Zhu Zhuqing noticed Ning Rongrong staring at her chest, then glancing at her own. Realizing what she was thinking, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red.

Even so, since they both owned diaries, they felt a sense of kinship—after all, they shared the same secret.

The mischievous Ning Rongrong took the lead, smiling, "Let's get acquainted. I'm Ning Rongrong."

Zhu Zhuqing responded calmly, "I'm Zhu Zhuqing."

They walked together, both watching Su Ming's live stream.

Suddenly, their diaries popped up a prompt:

[Ding! Another diary owner has been detected. Would you like to add them as a friend?]

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances and both accepted the friend request.

Now that they were friends, they could chat through their diaries. Convenient!

Ning Rongrong, being playful, couldn't resist asking, "Zhuqing, can you tell me how yours grew so much? I'm so jealous! Any tips?"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed, hesitating before answering quietly, "I just eat normally. I think it's related to my family's martial spirit. The women in my clan... well, they're all quite... um... developed. It's beyond my control."
