Chapter 3: First Diary Entry, Critical Reward! Sharingan!

Moreover, his martial spirit had evolved into the Ultimate Wood attribute, meaning his wood-element martial spirit had become much stronger. It could now suppress all plant-type martial spirits, exerting considerable dominance over most plant-based abilities!

It might even suppress Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which carries the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Today was definitely the happiest day since Su Ming regained his memories. A beginner's gift pack had completely transformed his talent, and to top it off, as long as he wrote in his diary daily, he'd receive different rewards.

Speaking of writing in the diary, he hadn't even started today's entry yet. With a thought, a black diary appeared before Su Ming.

"System, can others see the diary when it appears in front of me?"

[Ding, don't worry, host. No one else can see it.]

Su Ming nodded in satisfaction. That's a relief.

He flipped open the diary with his thoughts, lying on the bed, pondering how to start writing.

Then it occurred to him: since no one else could see the diary, he could write whatever he wanted.

[My name is Su Ming. I've transmigrated—no, I should say I've been reborn in the world of Douluo Dalu, a fictional universe, and I've suddenly regained the memories of my previous life.]

The moment Su Ming wrote this first sentence, certain female protagonists in Douluo Dalu also saw the contents of the diary.

In the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu, who was about to head out, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

A black diary appeared before her, with the words "Xiao Wu's Exclusive" written on it.

Just as she was puzzled about why this diary had appeared, it started flipping pages on its own!

When she read the first sentence, she was shaken to her core. Who is this Su Ming? Why did he claim this world is from a novel? And what exactly is a novel?

Just this one sentence left Xiao Wu filled with questions.

She wasn't alone. The other female protagonists who had diaries had similar thoughts.

The diary updated again.

[Not only that, but I also have a diary-writing system! The system's beginner pack made my wood-element martial spirit evolve into the Ultimate Wood attribute, and my innate soul power increased from level 7 to level 10!]

[Tomorrow, I'll be going to Nuoding Academy with Grandpa Jack. I'll also finally meet my darling Xiao Wu! I wonder if my dear Xiao Wu will be the same as she's described in the novel.]

[I can't wait for tomorrow. I really want to meet Xiao Wu, though right now she's still a little loli. But, man, those legs are something to look forward to in the future! I wonder if she's as violent as in the original novel.]

While Xiao Wu was shocked by the transformation Su Ming had gained from the beginner pack and wondered whether the diary was real, her face turned bright red at being called his 'wife' in the diary!

Blushing furiously, Xiao Wu muttered, "Su Ming, you perverted scoundrel! How can you call me your wife? And I'm not violent at all!"

Since she planned to enter the human world anyway, she decided to check out this so-called Nuoding Academy and see what kind of person this Su Ming really was.

Though he called her his wife in the diary, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel curious about him.

She continued to read the diary's updates.

[I wonder if tomorrow it will just be me and Grandpa Jack going to Nuoding Academy, or if Tang San will come along too.]

[Tang San, the child of destiny in this world. According to the original path, the only work-study spot from Holy Soul Village should belong to him. But since I've taken it, will he still be able to attend Nuoding Academy?]

[Ah, well. It's not my problem. I have no good feelings toward this hypocrite Tang San anyway!]

[Speaking of which, let me talk a bit about Tang San's father, Tang Hao. Tang Hao is from the Clear Sky Clan but fell in love with Ah Yin, a 100,000-year spirit beast who took human form. During her pregnancy, Ah Yin was discovered and hunted by Spirit Hall.]

[In the end, Ah Yin had no choice but to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, becoming his ninth spirit ring. But the story didn't end there.]

[Though Tang Hao escaped, the Clear Sky Clan was targeted by Spirit Hall because of his actions, forcing them to shut their gates.]

[Later, when Tang Hao noticed his son's talent, he wanted Tang San to return to the Clear Sky Clan and apologize.]

[Honestly, it's no big deal. It was Tang Hao's fault. In this world, humans and spirit beasts are natural enemies. Spirit Hall hunting spirit beasts wasn't wrong. Tang Hao could fall in love with Ah Yin, but how can he blame Spirit Hall when he couldn't protect her? His actions even dragged down the Clear Sky Clan!]

[If I were in his place, and I didn't have a system, I would've taken my spirit beast partner to a secluded area to wait for her to reach her human form. Or, I would've hidden her spirit beast aura. Wouldn't that avoid detection? After all, who wouldn't be tempted by a 100,000-year spirit ring and bone?]

[At first, Tang San did apologize to the Clear Sky Clan when he was weak. But later, when he grew stronger, he openly confronted the elders and claimed his father was never wrong!]

[Is this the worldview of a normal person?]

[When weak, he apologized. But when strong, he acted like his father did no wrong!]

In the back mountain of Holy Soul Village, a Blue Silver Grass with blue-gold patterns swayed.

This was the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, after her sacrifice.

She was also one of the diary owners, and when she saw her son Tang San mentioned in the diary, she focused on it with interest.

After all, Su Ming had regained the memories of his past life and knew everything about the future in Douluo Dalu. He must know how Tang San's life turned out.

But when Su Ming called Tang San a hypocrite, Ah Yin couldn't believe it. Her body trembled, wanting to know what happened next.

As she read on, learning about Tang San's changing attitude towards the Clear Sky Clan, Ah Yin cried out in disbelief. This couldn't be her son! Was this how Tang Hao raised him all these years?

The other women who had diaries had once been somewhat intrigued by Tang San, the so-called child of destiny. But upon reading about these events, they felt their perception of him shatter. How could someone like that be called the child of destiny?

Their feelings towards Tang San turned from curiosity to dislike, even disgust!

Among them, Xiao Wu felt this change most deeply. After all, she was also a 100,000-year spirit beast, and her mother had been killed by Spirit Hall.

She had never imagined that Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo. If Tang San attended Nuoding Academy, would his father secretly follow him, potentially exposing her identity as a spirit beast?

Now, Xiao Wu hesitated about going to Nuoding Academy.

She turned back to the diary. Hurry up and update! I need to know if Tang Hao follows him or not!

As if responding to her wishes, the diary updated again.

[I feel so bad for my dear Ah Yin! How could she have a hypocrite son like Tang San? Tang Hao wasn't much of a man either. He wasn't even as good-looking as me! How did Ah Yin ever fall for him?]

[When Ah Yin was pregnant, instead of hiding her in the Star Dou Forest or some remote place, Tang Hao took her near Spirit Hall! No wonder her identity as a spirit beast was exposed. It's hard not to question his choices!]

[Anyway, that's enough for today's diary. I'm really looking forward to tonight's reward!]

The women reading the diary screamed in frustration. What a cliffhanger! Why did you stop there?

At the same time, they were curious about what reward Su Ming would receive tonight.

In the cave, Ah Yin's heart sank, feeling like it had skipped a beat. This couldn't be true. Hao wasn't like that!

Her body shook violently as if she wanted to run to Tang Hao right now and confront him!

But no matter how hard Ah Yin tried, she couldn't move an inch.

Finally, Su Ming made it to midnight.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the first diary entry! You've triggered a critical reward: One Tomoe Sharingan (growth potential), and 1,000 gold soul coins.]

"Sharingan? Whoa, this reward is awesome!"

But there was something he needed to clarify first: "System, how do I upgrade and grow the Sharingan? Is it the same as in Naruto? Does it have any side effects?"

[Ding, host, after system optimization, the Sharingan can grow by increasing your mental power. It can even evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan, with no side effects at all!]

Hearing this, Su Ming was over the moon. A side-effect-free Sharingan? Incredible! If he lay low for a while and combined it with his wood release, he could summon Susanoo on top of a Wood Golem. No one in this world would stand a chance against him!
