Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Zhao Wuji never expected that after being captured, Xiao Wu not only emerged unscathed but also broke through to level 40 and absorbed a spirit ring beyond her level. It was truly baffling!

Shaking his head, Zhao Wuji decided not to dwell on it. The trip, except for Ma Hongjun, had turned out surprisingly smooth overall. Now that the group was still lingering in the outskirts, they needed to hurry back.

He said, "Since Tang San has finished absorbing his spirit ring, and Su Ming and Xiao Wu are safe, let's quickly return and find Fatty and the others. Although they're hiding in the outer perimeter, it's not entirely safe. If another powerful spirit beast shows up, it could spell trouble!"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others nodded in agreement. They had to hurry, especially considering Fatty's injuries wouldn't tolerate much delay.

Meanwhile, Oscar, whose spirit power had been replenished, promptly created several Flying Mushroom Sausages.

Off to the side, Xiao Wu softly suggested, "Brother, why don't you summon the Wooden Dragon? It's more comfortable to ride and doesn't have a time limit."

Since Xiao Wu had asked, Su Ming naturally obliged. With a light tap of his toe, a massive Wooden Dragon soared into the air.

Pulling Xiao Wu along, Su Ming leapt onto the dragon's head and called to the group, "The two of us won't need the sausages. Riding our dragon is more comfortable. How about you?"

The group exchanged glances. Was there even a choice? Of course, they would ride the Wooden Dragon! Not only was it faster and more comfortable, but it also offered automatic defense in case of an attack.

With a resigned smile, Oscar joined the others in hopping onto the dragon.

Before long, the group reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. Spotting them from a distance, Ning Rongrong sensed familiar spirit energy and quickly ran out. Sure enough, it was Su Ming and Xiao Wu!

She waved excitedly, shouting, "You're back, Su Ming, Xiao Wu!"

As they dismounted and the Wooden Dragon dissipated, Xiao Wu rushed forward to embrace Ning Rongrong tightly.

From Xiao Wu and Su Ming's interactions, Ning Rongrong picked up on a subtle change in their relationship. She couldn't pinpoint what it was—perhaps it was a woman's intuition. She decided she would ask Xiao Wu about it later.

Zhao Wuji interrupted, "Where are Zhuqing and Fatty? We should leave as soon as possible."

Ning Rongrong hesitated before replying, "Teacher Zhao, that might be difficult. Zhuqing is about to break through; it's a critical moment for her."

"As for Ma Hongjun, he's resting in that bush over there," she added, pointing in the direction.

The group followed her gaze. Sure enough, Ma Hongjun was lying there, while Zhu Zhuqing's body radiated spirit energy, signaling her imminent breakthrough.

Zhao Wuji sighed. There was no helping it—they'd have to wait until morning. Surely their luck wouldn't be so bad as to encounter another powerful spirit beast after the Titan Giant Ape.

Half an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing finally completed her breakthrough, reaching level 36 and officially surpassing her three-years-older fiancé, Dai Mubai!

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing outpace him in cultivation, Dai Mubai felt a pang of frustration. Determined, he silently vowed to train harder once they returned.

Meanwhile, Tang San reflected on Xiao Wu's earlier comment. Even if he had absorbed a spirit ring beyond his level, his spirit power was still the lowest among the new students. But so what? Once he returned, he would focus on creating the Zhuge Crossbow and mastering other Tang Sect techniques. His strength wouldn't remain at the bottom for long!

Midnight.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing today's diary entry. Reward: Combat Training Space.]

[Combat Training Space: Similar to the Virtual Learning Space, the Host can engage in real battle simulations within. The opponent can be chosen by the Host, and the other rules will be explained once the space is activated!]

Reading the reward description, Su Ming felt satisfied. It was just what he needed to compensate for his lack of combat experience. Sparring with Er Ming was merely a display of strength and didn't help improve his practical skills.

To truly grow, one needed life-or-death battles—dangerous fights that honed instinct and resilience. With this space, where death wasn't real, he could push his limits fearlessly.

[Ding!]

[Noticed Host made a 'breakthrough' today. Congratulations! As a bonus, the system awards you the title: 'Golden Stamina Warrior.' This title is permanent. Keep up the good work, kekeke!]

Su Ming:...

"Hey, system, I lasted two whole hours earlier! Who are you mocking? Get lost!"

Furious, Su Ming mentally shouted at the system, which refused to respond further.

Doubts crept into Su Ming's mind—was the system watching him and Xiao Wu during that moment?

Su Ming: "System, you weren't..."

"Ding! Host, don't slander this system. I have no interest in your trivial human activities. This system is noble beyond measure!"

Catching onto the key word, Su Ming asked, "We humans? System, I've wanted to ask—what exactly are you?"

"Ding! The Host currently lacks the authority to know. I can only reveal that I am an advanced artificial intelligence created by a higher entity—not the rudimentary ones you knew in your previous life. Those don't even compare to me!"

Su Ming sighed. It was clear the system had an ego. But just who was capable of creating such a sophisticated AI?

System: "Host, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally find out."

On the other side, the women read the diary entry. While they didn't expect any rewards this time, participating still mattered.

[Ding!]

[Today's mentioned female leads: Xiao Wu (15 times), Zhu Zhuqing (2 times), Ning Rongrong (5 times), Liu Erlong (1 time).]

[The female lead mentioned most: Xiao Wu. Reward: Power Mastery.]
