Chapter 111: Virtual Learning Space, Talisman Practice

Now that Bo Saixi knew some of the contents of the diary, she felt an urge to visit the mainland and observe Su Ming and Tang San in secret. If Tang San was still able to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as in the original story, she was determined to intercept it beforehand.

However, due to the rules of the diary, she was prohibited from leaving Seagod Island prematurely. She had no choice but to wait for that moment to arrive, which would take a few years. For now, she could only place her hopes on Su Ming.

Bo Saixi had one more question: could other people really not see this diary?

She then walked out of the temple and saw the seven Seagod Island Pillar Guardians waiting outside. Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward and asked, "My lady, is something the matter?"

Bo Saixi began to speak, "Can any of you see this diary—"

But just as she was about to say the last word, an overwhelming pressure surged toward her, locking onto her with a deadly killing intent. She knew that if she uttered another word, she might be struck down on the spot.

She quickly bit her lip and said instead, "It's nothing. I just had a feeling and wanted to check if there were any abnormalities on Seagod Island. You may all leave."

Although the seven Pillar Guardians were puzzled, they dared not defy Bo Saixi's orders. Since she said there was nothing wrong, they trusted that the situation wasn't serious. After all, her strength was at the pinnacle of the continent at Level 99, and only two others could rival her.

Even those two wouldn't stand a chance against her on Seagod Island.

[Alright, that's enough for today's diary entry. Hopefully, I'll get a decent reward!]

After finishing his diary for the day, Su Ming sat cross-legged and began his daily training, starting with his Soul Power Forging Technique—a practice he never skipped.

His body was already very strong, and he had increased his capacity for spirit rings up to 50,000 years. By the time he reached Level 50, he could absorb spirit rings of at least 100,000 years, as his physical fitness was improving every moment.

The effect of the Soul Power Forging Technique depended on the quality of one's soul power. The higher the quality, the better the body strengthening effect. Su Ming wasn't sure if this technique had a limit, but for now, he hadn't encountered one.

After finishing his soul power training, Su Ming moved on to cultivating his spiritual power. He only practiced this every few days, as spiritual power required time to recover after each session to avoid causing problems.

If he had a treasure to restore his spiritual power, he could train even faster. But in this world, such treasures were rare, and few people actively cultivated their spiritual power. Most relied on their soul power to indirectly improve it.

Su Ming's Sharingan had already evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan. However, thanks to the system, the usual side effects of the Mangekyō were eliminated, giving him the abilities of the Eternal Mangekyō. Because of this, advancing to the Rinnegan would take a long time.

Typically, the evolution should go from the base Sharingan to the Mangekyō, and only then to the Eternal Mangekyō. But due to the system, these two steps were combined, making the progression slower.

Nevertheless, Su Ming was content. He could now use the Mangekyō without the risk of going blind, which was enough for him. Moreover, he had awakened the dual Kamui ability, one of the reasons he was confident in facing a Title Douluo.

With Kamui's space-manipulating powers, as long as his spiritual power was strong enough, no soul master could land a hit on him. If he was ever in danger, he could hide in the Kamui dimension.

Kamui was the innate ability that came with his Mangekyō Sharingan, but according to the system, he could learn other Mangekyō techniques like Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. However, for that, he would need a special "learning device," which was luck-based and could only be obtained as a reward.

Although Su Ming was interested in learning other ocular techniques, he knew it required good fortune. For now, with the Kamui space for defense and Susanoo for offense, he felt well-equipped.

At midnight, the system notification sounded.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing today's diary. You have been rewarded with: Virtual Learning Space.]

Virtual Learning Space?

Su Ming's eyes lit up. From the name alone, it sounded like a valuable reward!

[Virtual Learning Space: A space where the host can practice creating talismans with all the necessary materials provided for practice. The materials are virtual and only for training purposes. The host will need to gather real materials to create talismans in the physical world.]

As expected, this was a great reward!

He had been wondering where to practice talisman creation, knowing that with his current skill level, practicing with real materials would cost him a fortune. Buying large quantities of materials would also attract unwanted attention, and it wasn't the right time for that yet.

But now, with the Virtual Learning Space, he could practice whenever he had free time without worrying about costs!

In fact, Su Ming wasn't most interested in offensive or defensive talismans but in special ones like space talismans, teleportation talismans, and summoning talismans. These would be far more useful to him, given that he didn't lack in attack or defense.

Still, even the offensive and defensive talismans he created could be useful to others for protection. And since practicing in the virtual space didn't cost him anything, he could make plenty of these for his friends.

When the time came to make talismans in the real world, he could purchase materials at major auction houses or ask Ning Rongrong's father to help him acquire them. The allure of talismans would be hard to resist, as they were great life-saving tools.

Though talismans were single-use, unlike Tang San's reusable hidden weapons, their versatility made up for that. Moreover, as soul tools gained popularity over time, hidden weapons would become obsolete, but talismans would remain relevant.

Excited, Su Ming couldn't wait to explore this new space.

Soon, he felt his spiritual body enter the Virtual Learning Space while his physical body remained sitting in a meditative pose, giving the appearance of training to anyone who might see him.

If there were any disturbances outside, he could instantly return.

Inside the learning space, everything was void except for a table and chair before him. On the table were practice talisman papers, and with a thought, Su Ming summoned various materials for talisman creation. It was incredibly convenient!
