Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

At that moment, Su Ming looked around, confirming there was no longer any invisible energy attacking him. He found it somewhat uninteresting—after all, the Sea God's Light was just a test left by the Sea God, and at most, it was at a demigod level.

This climb wasn't really about reaching the top but rather demonstrating the details and dangers of the trial to Xiao Wu and the others. With a step, Su Ming returned to the first stair.

"Brother, that was amazing! So, when we climb, we really can't use attack-type spirit abilities, or it'll trigger the defensive power of the sacred land. But you even neutralized the energy!" Xiao Wu and the others looked at him with admiring gazes.

"You… really neutralized the attack left by the Sea God?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked, barely able to believe it.

After becoming a Titled Douluo, he had tried to climb these stairs himself—only to be severely injured every time by the rebound of his own attacks.

Su Ming replied calmly, "You saw it yourself. There's nothing extraordinary about it."

He then turned to the girls and reminded them, "But don't try attacking lightly. You saw how dangerous it was. Without strength at the demigod level or higher, it's best not to attempt it."

The girls blinked at him: Dangerous? We didn't think so—it was just too cool!

"All right, it's your turn to try now. Start without using any support-type spirit abilities. Only use them if you reach your limit; it's important to know where your boundaries are," Su Ming encouraged.

Sea Horse Douluo, concerned, spoke up, "Su Ming, this trial might not be much to you, but for your teammates, it's incredibly tough. Especially Ning Rongrong—she needs to reach the six hundredth step! You climbed three hundred in a single bound; be honest, do you think she can manage that?"

He wasn't underestimating Ning Rongrong; he was just stating a fact. Six hundred steps—back then, even Lady Bo Saixi couldn't achieve that!

"Rongrong, do you think you can do it?" Su Ming asked, looking at Ning Rongrong intently instead of answering Sea Horse Douluo.

Ning Rongrong nodded with determination. "I believe I can make it in the end!"

She felt confident, largely thanks to the body-strengthening technique Su Ming had taught her. She knew that, besides Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, Su Ming had quietly shared this rare skill with everyone here. Although she didn't understand why he'd include Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Hu Liena—people he wasn't especially close to—she guessed he had no other choice. Su Ming had probably anticipated the Sea God wouldn't let them pass the trials easily.

Her hunch was half right; he also shared the technique with Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Hu Liena because they, like Ning Rongrong, also had access to his diary entries.

As for Bai Chenxiang, although she didn't have the diary, it didn't mean he couldn't give her the technique. He respected her spirit and promised her grandfather, Bai He, to watch over her. After all, he couldn't just stand by if she struggled with the trial.

Even so, they'd only recently started the technique, so its effects wouldn't show yet. It'd be best to stretch out their yearlong timeline for this trial since the remaining tasks could be completed more quickly.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's unwavering confidence, Sea Horse Douluo sighed. "All right, but you'll understand once you're climbing how unrealistic that is."

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing went first, racing up the steps, reaching fifty steps in no time and still going strong. Eventually, they reached the three hundredth step, the same level as Su Ming. Zhu Zhuqing felt her body start to weigh her down, near her limit, while Xiao Wu stopped at the four hundred fiftieth step, with some strength still left.

This wasn't surprising—Xiao Wu had been training with Su Ming the longest and was the first to learn the body-strengthening technique, so her result didn't shock him.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, on the other hand, were stunned. These two were also prodigies, with Xiao Wu surpassing even Su Ming!

And the surprises didn't end there. Ning Rongrong reached four hundred steps, surpassing Zhu Zhuqing, who specialized in agility and speed.

"Are you sure this Ning Rongrong is a support-type spirit master?" Sea Horse Douluo asked, pointing at her in disbelief.

Su Ming laughed. "Yes. What's surprising about that? My Rongrong just has a unique physique."

Unique physique? The guardians were skeptical; unique didn't explain her extraordinary strength. They started to suspect Su Ming had provided his teammates with some special method, seeing them climb so high.

Unexpectedly, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the others stalled at around thirty to fifty steps. The guardians were puzzled—had they guessed wrong?

As for Bai Chenxiang, the weakest and purely agility-type spirit master, she only managed twenty-five steps. Watching her companions climb higher and higher, she felt a surge of reluctance. She gritted her teeth and pushed herself to take a few more steps, determined not to be a burden.

Just one more step drenched her in sweat, her back slightly hunched under the pressure. Her legs quivered, and despite her determination, she collapsed on the twenty-seventh step, the force rebounding her into the air, ready to fall into the lake.

"Not good! She's in danger if she falls in!" Sea Horse Douluo exclaimed, prepared to intervene.

Before he could, Su Ming appeared beside Bai Chenxiang, catching her in his arms and bringing her safely back to the ground.

"Why push yourself so hard?" Su Ming asked gently. "You're the youngest among us, and with the technique I gave you, a year of training will be enough to pass."
