Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Wood Release, Yamato or Hashirama?
Su Ming sat down to summarize his thoughts on the rewards he had received.
[Why do I say that?] It's mainly because the technique "Wood Scripture" compresses one's soul power, making it more refined and of higher quality. This will inevitably slow down the level-up process of soul power. Therefore, while it claims to increase cultivation speed by ten times, realistically, even if the overall speed increases by two or three times, it's already quite good!**
The women following Su Ming's diary also began to understand his point. Although they didn't know much about the concept of "soul power quality," they now realized the importance of it. They had always followed traditional methods handed down through generations and lacked any specific techniques to enhance the quality of their soul power like Su Ming had.
[Still, improving the quality of my soul power is exactly what I want to see. In Naruto, the real power doesn't lie in the Wood Release itself, but rather the more chakra you pour into it, the stronger it becomes. Chakra in that world is equivalent to soul power here!]
[Enhancing the quality of my soul power is essentially like increasing its total amount. I definitely don't want my Wood Release to be as weak as Yamato's, merely good for environmental landscaping. I want something as strong and cool as Hashirama's!]
[In Naruto, fans often compare Yamato with Hashirama, mocking Yamato for being only able to plant trees while Hashirama's Wood Release was incredibly powerful, capable of summoning giant wood constructs and mythical beasts!]
Although the women weren't familiar with the world of Naruto or the figures like Hashirama and Yamato, they understood the principle behind what Su Ming was saying. The effectiveness of the Wood Release depends on the quality and quantity of soul power, meaning a strong soul power could make it a devastating weapon, while a weak one would leave it no better than a gardening tool.
Bibi Dong, being thoughtful, speculated that Su Ming's upcoming soul rings would likely focus on enhancing his soul power's attributes. To maximize the strength of his Wood Release, he would need a soul ring that could enhance the resilience and toughness of his techniques. Thus, it was clear that the first few soul rings Su Ming attached would primarily serve to bolster his martial spirit's abilities.
After all, with many Wood Release techniques at his disposal and a cultivation method that improves his control over soul power, Su Ming wouldn't need soul rings to grant him additional soul skills. He had no intention of relegating his Wood Release to mere forestry work!
[Overall, today's rewards were quite impressive. I only wish the rewards could be this good every time. I still haven't figured out how the diary chooses rewards, though. I wonder if they are randomized?]
Feeling content after finishing his diary entry, Su Ming went to sleep. However, Xiao Wu, still full of excitement, stayed up thinking. After all, she had been mentioned most frequently in today's diary, and with two live broadcasts today, she couldn't wait to see what rewards she might receive!
The other women were also eagerly anticipating their own rewards.
[The person whose name was mentioned the most in today's diary is: Xiao Wu]
[Reward: Leg Martial Technique - Wind God Legs]
[Wind God Legs: This leg technique excels in speed and allows for multiple consecutive strikes.]
[Do you wish to reveal your reward?]
Xiao Wu: No.
[Xiao Wu has chosen to hide her reward.]
Even though the others were curious about what reward Xiao Wu had received, they respected her choice to keep it hidden.
As for Xiao Wu herself, she was thrilled with the Wind God Legs technique. It suited her perfectly. With her natural agility and reliance on leg-based combat, the technique would enhance her strengths. Although her soft skills, which focused on using her flexibility in close combat, had grown less appealing to her against male opponents, leg techniques like this were a perfect fit.
The Wind God Legs allowed her to launch a flurry of rapid strikes, which could pair well with her signature Eight-Stage Throwing move. With this technique, she might even manage more than eight stages of attack!
The only downside was that the combo couldn't be interrupted, or she'd risk exposing herself to counterattacks. But Xiao Wu wasn't worried. Her physical flexibility gave her an edge, ensuring she could maintain her flow. Plus, most defense-type Soul Masters, who might withstand her strikes, were too slow to interrupt her attacks anyway, making this move practically unbeatable against them.
With Xiao Wu's reward given, it was time for the rewards from today's live broadcast!
[Su Ming conducted two live broadcasts today. All heroines who watched both in their entirety will receive a downgraded random reward!]
[Note: Regardless of how many broadcasts Su Ming conducts in a day, heroines can only receive one downgraded reward per day.]
Seeing this new rule, the heroines were a bit disappointed. They had hoped to get a reward for each broadcast.
[Congratulations Xiao Wu! You have received a Soul Tool (bracelet-shaped) with a storage space of 100 cubic meters. It cannot store living things.]
Xiao Wu found this reward quite satisfactory. While the storage capacity couldn't compare to Su Ming's soul tool, it was still incredibly useful for her needs.
Meanwhile, over at the Spirit Hall…
Bibi Dong stared at her reward in astonishment before breaking into a smile of pure joy.
[Congratulations Bibi Dong! You have received a Soul Avatar Transformation Card. This card allows you to reshape your Martial Soul Avatar into any form you desire without changing its abilities. The change is permanent!]
This reward was perfect for her! Bibi Dong had always been self-conscious about the appearance of her Martial Soul Avatar, which turned her lower body into that of a grotesque spider while her upper body remained human. She found the transformation hideous and rarely used it unless absolutely necessary.
Those few who had witnessed her Martial Soul Avatar had not lived to tell the tale.
This card, which allowed her to change her Martial Soul Avatar into a more elegant form, was nothing short of miraculous!
With excitement, Bibi Dong immediately used the card. Her body began to shimmer as silver threads of webbing wrapped around her, forming a beautiful silver gown that draped elegantly over her. She now looked stunning, her previous grotesque form replaced by something far more graceful and regal.
Her powers remained unchanged, but her appearance was now one she could be proud of.
Beside her, Hu Liena was speechless. Her teacher had never looked so breathtakingly beautiful!
