Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

The next morning, the first thing Su Ming did after waking up was to use the Misfortune Talisman!

"System, will this Misfortune Talisman threaten someone's life?"

Ding, no, host. It will just cause some unpleasant events, hehe!

Su Ming: System, did you eat too many Soul Hall Elders or something?

"System, use the Misfortune Talisman on Yu Xiaogang!"

Having used the talisman, Su Ming no longer cared what would happen. Based on his guess, Yu Xiaogang would likely just face some unlucky incidents, nothing life-threatening.

Then, bright and early, Su Ming took Xiao Wu outside. She had no idea what he was up to.

When they arrived in front of a hotel, Xiao Wu was stunned. What was Su Ming trying to do?

Seeing Xiao Wu's startled expression, Su Ming chuckled, "Xiao Wu, come with me. I've got something big for you, something that will help with your training!"

'Something big?' Xiao Wu's heart raced. Should she agree, or hesitate for a moment before agreeing?

While she was overthinking, Su Ming led her into a room and brought out a large wooden barrel. After tipping the staff a bit, he asked them to fill it with water.

After taking the tip and filling the barrel, the staff member laughed slyly at Su Ming, saying, "Have fun, kid. Don't worry, the walls are soundproof."

The person then left, kindly closing the door behind him.

(Douluo World is way too mature...)

Su Ming was a bit embarrassed. What was that guy even talking about? They were just kids—only six years old! What could they possibly do at that age?

Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed red. It wasn't her fault for understanding so quickly; Su Ming's diary had warped her mind a bit, causing her imagination to run wild.

"Ow!" Xiao Wu rubbed her forehead, then looked at Su Ming with a pout. "Why'd you hit me?"

Su Ming teased her, "I hit you because of what you were thinking! What's going on in that little head of yours? Did you really think I'd do something to you?"

Xiao Wu thought: 'You call me your wife all the time in that creepy diary of yours—how can I not think that way?'

Then, Su Ming turned serious. "Xiao Wu, this gift will help you with your training, but you can't tell anyone about it!"

Xiao Wu nodded earnestly, which made her look unexpectedly adorable to Su Ming.

Su Ming then took out a bottle of low-grade body tempering solution from his storage and poured it into the barrel.

That's right, the "big gift" he was talking about was the body tempering solution. The remaining seven bottles were no longer useful to him, so why not give one to Xiao Wu? It'd raise her favor toward him—don't get any wrong ideas here!

"This is a body tempering solution. It will improve your physique. As for where I got it, don't ask." Su Ming explained.

Xiao Wu was surprised. She hadn't expected that this would be his "big gift"—she had imagined something entirely different. Immediately, she felt touched. "Why are you so good to me?"

Su Ming smiled. "Don't worry about it. I've got my reasons. You'll understand one day."

Su Ming thought: 'Heh, after using this body tempering solution, you'll be mine! Just making a little investment for the future.'

Xiao Wu, confused but trusting, nodded.

Su Ming continued, "Now, take off your clothes and get in."

"Oh, and one thing to note: this is your first time, so it'll hurt a bit at first. But once you get used to it, you'll feel really comfortable—kind of tingly."

Then Su Ming stepped to the side, leaving Xiao Wu to prepare and enter the barrel herself.

There was a partition between them, of course.

Besides, Xiao Wu hadn't developed at all yet—still a flat board—so there wasn't much to see, right?

Xiao Wu began to undress, feeling shy despite the partition. Though originally innocent, Su Ming's influence had changed her. Now she knew there was a difference between men and women.

She immersed herself in the milky-white liquid. At first, it felt nice—slightly sticky.

After a few seconds, something felt wrong.

"Ahh! It hurts!"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but cry out.

Su Ming shouted over, "Hang in there, Xiao Wu! Once your body absorbs the solution, you'll be able to handle higher-quality spirit rings!"

"I-I understand!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth through the pain.

Although she didn't absorb spirit rings like humans, a stronger body would allow her to form better spirit rings naturally!

While Xiao Wu absorbed the medicinal properties, Su Ming wasn't just idly waiting.

Instead, he began cultivating the mental power technique he had obtained from the system, Chaos Divine Grind Visualization, Douluo version.

In his spiritual space, a round grinding mill appeared—the Spirit Grindstone!

Su Ming took a deep breath and immediately threw his soul into it. Instantly, he felt the ecstasy of his soul being ground up and reformed!

"Ahhh!"

It was Su Ming's first time experiencing this kind of spiritual agony, and he couldn't help but scream. The pain was excruciating!

"What's wrong, Su Ming?"

Sweating profusely from the pain, Su Ming stammered, "N-nothing, just cultivating!"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized that Su Ming was probably training the spiritual power technique he received yesterday. Hearing his pained screams, it must be quite tough!

Compared to physical pain, spiritual suffering was far more tormenting!

Two and a half hours later.

The previously milky liquid in the barrel had become murky from the impurities Xiao Wu had expelled as her body improved.

After cleansing herself with fresh water, Xiao Wu emerged feeling refreshed.

Su Ming had long since stopped his own cultivation. The pain was unbearable—he had only managed to last ten minutes before giving up!

From what he could tell, with his current spiritual strength, he couldn't train every day. He needed to wait for his spirit to recover before continuing. Too frequent training might damage his mind—Su Ming had no intention of turning into a lunatic.

As his spiritual power grew, he would eventually be able to extend his training sessions and shorten the intervals between them.
