Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Boom!

Within Spirit City, Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and others looked at the notification in silence. Except for Bibi Dong, who remained unfazed, the others couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness for Zhu Zhuqing. Dugu Yan, however, felt a hint of urgency, guessing that Zhu Zhuqing might have initiated last night's interaction with Su Ming. After all, with Su Ming and Xiao Wu out for days, it seemed unlikely he would immediately seek out Zhuqing upon his return.

The Next Morning

Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them, noticing a figure watching her closely. Blinking, she focused and found Su Ming's gaze locked onto her. Realizing she was unclothed, she instinctively pulled the blanket closer, hiding her face beneath it. "W-why are you staring at me?"

"Because you're beautiful," Su Ming said simply, his voice soft.

These four words made Zhuqing's cheeks flush. She still wasn't entirely used to opening up around him, feeling a shyness she couldn't shake. Noticing her discomfort, Su Ming smiled gently and decided to shift the conversation. "Today, I'm going to absorb my seventh spirit ring. Zhuqing, will you keep watch for me?"

With his current strength, there was no need for secrecy. Unlike before, where he had to set up a barrier to absorb a Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring, he could now do it openly. According to the system, this seventh spirit ring would initiate a major evolution of his martial soul. Su Ming was eager to show Spirit City just how formidable the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall truly was.

Su Ming took out a Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring from his spirit tool. Zhu Zhuqing, quickly dressed, looked at it curiously. "So, this is the Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring?"

"Exactly," Su Ming confirmed. "Once I begin absorbing it, stay alert for any disturbances. The reaction might be intense."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a serious expression. "Understood."

With that, Su Ming sat cross-legged, placed the Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring in front of him, and began the absorption. In Zhu Zhuqing's view, a white spirit ring appeared around him, only for it to swiftly shift to a deep red. The sudden transformation startled her. Though she knew the Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring would adjust to his capacity, changing instantly from white to red seemed overwhelming.

At that moment, Ah Yin emerged from Su Ming's spiritual space. The energy Su Ming was releasing felt too potent for Zhu Zhuqing to manage alone, and Ah Yin wanted to ensure his safety. After casting a calm glance at Zhuqing, she positioned herself nearby. Zhu Zhuqing, remembering yesterday's events, flushed slightly and kept her distance, feeling awkward.

Su Ming's rapid energy fluctuations soon caught the attention of Xiao Wu and others, who immediately headed to his room. Xiao Wu arrived first, followed closely by Bibi Dong. Sensing the presence of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Bibi Dong instantly deduced Su Ming was absorbing a Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring. As his mentor, she felt obligated to ensure his safety and, admittedly, was curious if the Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring was as extraordinary as Su Ming claimed.

Seeing so many gathered, Ah Yin suggested, "Only Bibi Dong, Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and I should stay here to give Su Ming space. The rest of you can guard outside."

Latecomers like Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling respected this advice and took positions outside. Within moments, Su Ming's red spirit ring took on a richer hue, gradually darkening toward orange.

"Orange?" Bibi Dong was astonished.

Ah Yin explained, "Once a spirit ring surpasses two hundred thousand years, it turns orange."

Dugu Bo, listening from outside, felt a wave of disbelief. "Are you saying that Su Ming's seventh spirit ring could reach two hundred thousand years? But I still don't understand how this works—where did he even obtain such a spirit ring?"

Zhu Zhuqing clarified, "Senior Dugu Bo, this is called the Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring. It adjusts both the ring's power and age according to the spirit master's physical ability. They say it's a blessing from the Goddess of Life."

The group fell silent, uncertain whether Zhuqing was exaggerating, yet awestruck by the transformation unfolding before them.

Behind Dugu Bo, Da Ming and Er Ming now understood why Su Ming had refrained from asking them to grant him a spirit ring. The Divine Bestowal Spirit Ring alone allowed him to surpass the hundred-thousand-year limit, making it unnecessary for him to seek additional rings.

Beside her, Bibi Dong spoke coldly to Ah Yin. "How high do you think Su Ming's seventh spirit ring will go?"

Ah Yin replied solemnly, "I can't say for sure, but seeing it shift to orange, I'd estimate it might reach two hundred fifty thousand years."

The others were stunned into silence, intently watching Su Ming's progression. Gradually, the seventh ring's color deepened to an intense, radiant orange, finally reaching three hundred thousand years.

Boom!

A powerful force erupted from Su Ming, emanating a spirit pressure typical of a four-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

Even Bibi Dong felt a faint sense of dread in the face of this overwhelming aura, mixed with envy.
