Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

Su Ming soon arrived at his assigned dormitory at Nuoding Academy—Dorm 7!

Dorm 7 was the dorm for work-study students. With Su Ming's current wealth, he could easily afford a private room by paying a bit more, but he chose not to.

Firstly, because Xiao Wu would likely still be assigned to Dorm 7, and secondly, because of Tang San.

Both he and Tang San came from the same village, Holy Soul Village, and they weren't supposed to be wealthy. If he suddenly upgraded to a single room, Tang San might start questioning where his money came from, and why someone so rich would take a work-study spot meant for poorer students.

Su Ming didn't want to provoke any conflict with Tang San at this stage. It wasn't that he feared Tang San's hidden weapons—those were still relatively primitive, and Su Ming could easily dodge them or even defeat Tang San. What he truly feared was Tang Hao, who lurked in the shadows. Su Ming wasn't strong enough yet to contend with a Title Douluo. A simple pressure from someone of Tang Hao's level would leave him utterly immobilized.

For now, Su Ming's main goal was to continue writing in his diary and receive his daily rewards. Of course, his soul power training and practice with Wood Release techniques remained a priority—he couldn't afford to grow complacent just because he had a system.

With the system's support and his own hard work, he was confident in improving his strength rapidly. After all, he didn't know when a confrontation with Tang San might arise in the future, so he needed to be fully prepared!

Plus, there was one more crucial reason: He couldn't allow Xiao Wu and Tang San to sleep in the same bed for six whole years!

Since he was now part of the Douluo world, all those beauties that were supposed to be involved with Tang San would have no connection to him!

Xiao Wu, in particular, was actually quite easy to win over. Despite being a 100,000-year soul beast, she had grown up in the core region of Star Dou Forest under the protection of her mother and Da Ming and Er Ming, making her somewhat naive and simple.

The door to Dorm 7 opened.

As soon as Su Ming entered, he immediately caught the attention of the other students in the dorm.

They all paused, and then one of them stood up and said, "You must be the new work-study student this year. Well, we have a tradition here. Let's have a fight!"

Su Ming guessed this person was probably Wang Sheng, but he still smiled politely and asked, "It's our first meeting. My name is Su Ming. May I ask your name? And why do we need to fight?"

Wang Sheng, noticing Su Ming's polite demeanor, replied, "My name is Wang Sheng. I'm the current leader of Dorm 7, which means I'm the head of our dorm. We have a rule here: every newcomer must fight the dorm leader. If you win, you become the new leader of Dorm 7."

He continued, "The reason we decide the dorm leader this way is simple: as work-study students, we need a strong leader to protect us from the noble students."

Su Ming nodded in understanding. It seemed that the main antagonist among the noble students was a character named Xiao Chenyu, the son of Nuoding City's lord. In the original story, Tang San had a conflict with them shortly after entering the academy.

Eventually, Tang San defeated Xiao Chenyu, and Xiao Wu became the new boss of Nuoding Academy.

Su Ming thought about it for a moment and agreed. Becoming the leader of Dorm 7 had its advantages.

Firstly, he'd gain a few followers like Wang Sheng and the others. While their strength was lacking, they could still run errands. Secondly, as the leader, he would have a legitimate reason to spar with Tang San, testing his current abilities and getting a sense of Tang San's strength.

Moreover, Su Ming had gained mastery over martial arts from the system but hadn't yet had a chance to practice it. He could use Wang Sheng as a warm-up!

Wang Sheng: "I should thank you, huh?!"

The two then prepared for the fight, and Su Ming said, "Come on, you attack first. Otherwise, you won't get a chance."

Wang Sheng snorted coldly, "Arrogant!"

He quickly charged at Su Ming, aiming a punch at his stomach.

"Go for it, boss!"

"Come on, you got this!"

The other students in Dorm 7 were all cheering for Wang Sheng, hoping he'd teach this arrogant new guy a lesson. Wang Sheng seemed well-liked, judging from their support.

However, Su Ming thought to himself: Too bad, you're about to get a new boss.

Calmly, Su Ming sidestepped Wang Sheng's punch, grabbed his arm, bent slightly, and with a swift motion, threw Wang Sheng over his shoulder!

Thud!

Wang Sheng landed hard on the ground.

Cough, cough.

Su Ming helped him up and said, "Looks like I won."

Wang Sheng was astonished by Su Ming's agility and strength. Is this really a student who just awakened his martial soul? How can his physical abilities surpass mine, someone who's had years of training?

Holding his chest from the impact, Wang Sheng asked, "Su Ming, what's your innate soul power level? And what martial soul did you awaken? Your physical strength is unbelievable!"

Wang Sheng's question mirrored the curiosity of the other students.

When martial souls awaken, they typically provide a slight feedback of energy to the soul master's body. While this feedback is minimal, those with higher innate soul power receive more benefits, especially beast martial soul users, who experience an increase in physical strength.

With nothing to hide, Su Ming answered honestly, "My martial soul is the Wood Element, and I have an innate soul power of seven!"

The entire dorm was stunned. A soul power level of seven? That was a genius-level talent! No wonder he was so strong!

Wang Sheng admitted defeat and said to the others, "From now on, Su Ming is the new leader of Dorm 7. Say hello to your new boss!"

Wang Sheng took the lead and called out, "Greetings, boss!"

"Greetings, boss!"

"Greetings, boss!"

Su Ming, experiencing being called "boss" for the first time, couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Being the leader wasn't half bad!

He then made a promise to the group, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let any of those nobles bully you!"

Now that he was the leader, it was time to take on the responsibility. Besides, he wasn't afraid of minor characters like Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu was only an 11th-level Soul Master with a 10-year soul ring. Su Ming, even without a soul ring yet, wouldn't have any trouble dealing with him!

Still, Su Ming wanted to find a time to test his current mastery of Wood Release techniques. He needed to see what level of jutsu he could use and how much soul power and mental energy it would consume. Hopefully, the system would reward him with a spiritual cultivation method. Otherwise, raising his mental energy would be a slow process.

At the moment, Su Ming had only two ideas for increasing his spiritual power:

The first was to secretly copy Tang San's Purple Demon Eye technique with his Sharingan and use it to absorb the morning's purple energy, cultivating his mental state.

The second method involved obtaining a soul bone that enhanced mental strength, but that was far beyond his current reach.
