Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

After half an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo's body expelled a significant amount of impurities, and his body began to emit a golden glow. When he opened his eyes, excitement was clear on his face—this experience had yielded incredible gains!

As he rose to approach Su Ming and the others, they instinctively took a step back and covered their noses.

"Ahem, Yue Guan, you might want to check yourself…" Ghost Douluo remarked tactfully.

With a wave of their hands, Su Ming and Ah Yin quickly purified the grime from Chrysanthemum Douluo's body.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, how are you feeling now? I assume you've reached level 96 like Ghost Douluo. Did you notice any changes in your abilities?" Su Ming asked, curious.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, had not evolved like Ghost Douluo's. Su Ming wondered if the chrysanthemum could be harvested as an edible herb after absorbing the celestial plant's essence.

Eagerly, Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, "Yes, I finally broke through to level 96, and I gained a new ability. According to what you've told me before, my spirit is more suited to support-type or food-type paths, but due to past choices, I went the assault path. With all my spirit ring slots filled, I couldn't go back."

"However, as a result, I developed a special innate skill—each month, I can produce a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

"What?" Su Ming was astonished. "Is it identical to the original herb in effect?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face stiffened slightly. "Not quite that potent. At one per month, its effectiveness is about one-fifth of a true celestial herb. If an average soul master consumes it, they'll gain a minor boost in physique and talent, similar to a diluted version of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. To achieve full potency, it would take about a year."

After hearing his explanation, Su Ming nodded thoughtfully. "So, at a minimum, you produce a lesser chrysanthemum each month, but with time, the effect strengthens?"

"Exactly. I can also generate food-grade Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemums to restore soul power, stamina, and enhance defenses for soul masters."

Su Ming recognized the possibilities of this unexpected gift. "Then let's use the weaker chrysanthemums to reward those who contribute significantly to Spirit Hall."

Chrysanthemum Douluo readily agreed.

"So, should we head to the Breaking Clan next?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.

Su Ming nodded. "Yes, but it's already getting dark. Let's rest here tonight and set off in the morning."

By early morning, Xiao Wu had returned from Star Lake. Daming and Erming had heard about the spirit soul contract and were interested in becoming Su Ming's spirit souls. With Su Ming's current strength, their transformation would instantly propel him to level 70. They left it up to Su Ming to decide whether he wanted them to provide spirit rings.

Daming and Erming also felt that after such a long time in Star Dou Forest, life had grown somewhat dull, especially with Xiao Wu away. Xiao Wu had mentioned that as 100,000-year soul beasts, they could reconstitute their bodies after becoming spirit souls, so they wouldn't vanish.

Their decision wasn't solely to help Su Ming or protect Xiao Wu; they also had other motives. Knowing Su Ming had inherited a divine power, they saw an opportunity for potential immortality, joining Su Ming in the God Realm someday. Reaching a 200,000-year level would take them ages, and achieving it alone would require enduring a heavenly lightning tribulation, something they weren't entirely confident about.

Hearing Xiao Wu relay their reasoning, Su Ming considered the upcoming founding of the Spirit Empire, where Daming and Erming could be invaluable assets. When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left for Sea God Island, he could have Daming and Erming stay back to assist.

As for spirit rings, Su Ming opted to use bestowed spirit rings, as Daming and Erming's attributes didn't quite match his needs.

"Understood," Su Ming told Xiao Wu, then turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. "Now that you're one of us, there are things I won't keep from you. Follow me."

Xiao Wu observed the two quietly, trusting Su Ming's judgment. She had spent enough time with him to know they were trustworthy.

On the way to Star Lake, Su Ming briefly explained Xiao Wu's unique background to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Stunned, they looked at the smiling Xiao Wu in bewilderment. As Titled Douluo, they should have sensed her 100,000-year soul beast aura if she were one.

Su Ming merely reminded them, "Did you forget that Xiao Wu once consumed the Yearning Heartbroken Red?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, familiar with celestial herbs, speculated, "Could it be that the Yearning Heartbroken Red masked her aura? I've never heard of such an effect from a herb before. Remarkable."

Su Ming then added with a serious tone, "Let me be clear: if any of you harbor improper thoughts…"

Before Su Ming could finish, the two immediately vowed, "Rest assured. While we aren't saints, we do have principles."

Chrysanthemum Douluo added, "Besides, Xiao Wu is my disciple now. I still have a teacher's duty to uphold."
