Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo eyeing the fragrant Mystical Angelica, Yang Wudi quickly stowed the herb away with a laugh. "Su Ming, you should have brought out this treasure sooner! If I'd seen it earlier, I might have joined you without a second thought," he said, chuckling. "You can't imagine how irresistible this Mystical Angelica is to someone passionate about alchemy."

Su Ming eyed Yang Wudi with some skepticism. "Senior Yang, I know its value well. But I doubt you would have joined just because I showed it to you. Be honest with yourself."

Yang Wudi smiled sheepishly, knowing Su Ming was right. If Su Ming had presented the angelica from the start, he would have been tempted, but his pride would still have held him back. Only after witnessing Su Ming's strength and realizing the loyalty of five Titled Douluos did he decide to follow Su Ming willingly.

Seeing Yang Wudi secure the Mystical Angelica, Chrysanthemum Douluo cast a wistful look at Su Ming, who sighed, giving in, "Elder Chrysanthemum, once we return, I'll have the Pope arrange a specialized Alchemy Hall, with Senior Yang as the leader and you as an honorary elder alongside Elder Poison."

"If you both have alchemy skills, you can work together to develop strength-enhancing pills for Spirit Masters," Su Ming continued. "And you can share the Mystical Angelica."

Yang Wudi laughed heartily, agreeing without hesitation. "Perfect! It's about time I had access to such an herb—it's been years of searching. With this, my abilities can finally advance," he said, excitement radiating from his voice.

After taking a moment to regain his composure, Yang Wudi asked, "Where are we headed next?"

Su Ming considered it. "I'm still deciding between the Defense Clan and the Speed Clan. Any suggestions?"

Yang Wudi nodded. "If I were you, I'd go to the Defense Clan. We received word from the Strength Clan, and I had planned to meet with the Defense Clan to discuss it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo added, "Geographically, the Defense Clan is in between the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan. Visiting them first is logical now that the Strength Clan's leader has passed."

"Very well," Su Ming decided. "Our next stop is the Defense Clan. Senior Yang, I'll need your help negotiating. I'm not sure how their leader might react."

Yang Wudi patted his chest in reassurance. "Don't worry. I'm close to the Speed Clan's chief, but I also have a solid relationship with Old Rhino, the Defense Clan's leader. I'll vouch for you."

Reflecting on the Defense Clan's background, Su Ming thought back to the clan leader, Niu Gao. In the original story, he had a fierce temper but wasn't as combative as the others, and he initially opposed joining Tang San's Tang Sect, only relenting due to peer pressure and bias against the Spirit Hall. Now that Su Ming had secured Yang Wudi's loyalty, he was confident the others would follow.

Without delay, Yang Wudi left his clan members behind to join Su Ming's group, swiftly traveling toward the Defense Clan. After two days, they arrived at the clan's large estate. Su Ming chuckled upon seeing its fortified gates, similar to those of the Strength Clan, but with a plaque reading "Defense" above.

During their travels, Su Ming had been documenting his journey, streaming live to his friends and supporters. This not only helped strengthen his followers' morale but also provided an opportunity for him to check in on his girlfriends, some of whom were yet to be his official partners. He fully intended to win them over eventually.

He'd also gained some significant rewards from his streams—fifty spirit-powered soul guns and several bestowed spirit rings, which he suspected were intended to attract the Speed Clan. Known for their speed but lacking in offensive power, the Speed Clan's leader, Bai He, had once shown interest in Tang San's crossbow. The soul-powered guns in Su Ming's possession were far more powerful, with continuous use as long as the user's spirit power held up.

Noticing Su Ming's thoughtful expression, Yang Wudi explained, "The four clans' architecture was all designed by the Defense Clan, so they look similar."

As Su Ming took in the Defense Clan's robust gate, he considered its strategic potential. The clan's expertise in construction could be invaluable for establishing four subsidiary halls within the Spirit Hall—one each for Forging, Defense, Speed, and Alchemy, all designed by the Defense Clan.

Furthermore, once the Spirit Hall was established as an empire, he planned to deploy Spirit Masters to distant areas to oversee construction and development. The Defense Clan's skills could be crucial to that endeavor.

Just then, two burly men standing guard recognized Yang Wudi and approached with deference. "Welcome, esteemed Leader Yang! The Defense Clan welcomes the Power Clan's presence," they greeted.
