People are writing diaries in Douluo, Bibi Dong is crazy about it

**Chapter 211: Five Years Passed**

Zhao Ling originally thought everything would settle peacefully after the previous events. However, he soon realized how wrong he was.

Xiao Wu, determined and persistent, kept pestering him with the same question: "When is it my turn?" Her unrelenting attitude left Zhao Ling exasperated and unable to escape her inquiries.

By the fifth day after his encounter with A Rou, Zhao Ling finally gave in and accepted Xiao Wu's advances.

Of course, Ah Yin and Liu Erlong, concerned for Xiao Wu's well-being, stayed close to provide emotional support and guidance. Their presence deeply moved Xiao Wu, especially during more challenging moments. This consideration, however, didn't stop Zhao Ling from revealing his beastly nature in private.

Both A Rou and Xiao Wu discovered something peculiar after becoming Zhao Ling's partners—the strange spell that had once bewitched them was gone. Instead, their hearts overflowed with love for him, leaving them unable to imagine life with any other man.

A Rou felt this shift most intensely. She had previously mourned her late husband, but now he seemed like a distant memory. Her emotions for him had faded, leaving her puzzled and even guilty. At times, she thought to herself, 'If my husband hadn't passed away, I might never have found true love with Zhao Ling.'

Sharing these feelings with Xiao Wu, A Rou was surprised to learn that Xiao Wu experienced something similar. Since becoming Zhao Ling's partner, her affection for her father had also waned, replaced entirely by her love for Zhao Ling and her familial bond with A Rou and Tang Wutong.

One day, as the two discussed their changed emotions, Zhao Ling happened to overhear. He was stunned, realizing the system's influence on the women around him. Even though the system had been optimized, its effects were still overwhelming.

'Not just Xiao Wu and A Rou,' he thought. 'Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, Dong'er, and Xi'er must feel the same way. I need to cherish them. If I ever abandon them, I'd be worse than a beast.'

From then on, Zhao Ling became gentler in his treatment of them. While his passion remained unrestrained in private, he was no longer as harsh in his interactions.

Five Years Later

In five years, Zhao Ling's soul power had grown from level 94 to 98. His first martial soul now boasted a configuration of three black and six red soul rings, enhanced through years of upgrades. His second martial soul's rings, supplied by the system, automatically advanced in strength alongside him, evolving into seven red rings and one orange-gold ring.

Despite his progress, the system withheld his final soul ring, preventing him from reaching level 99. While his spirit ring configuration was powerful for his level, Zhao Ling knew it wasn't as impressive compared to future protagonists like Tang Wulin or Lan Xuanyu.

However, in actual combat, Zhao Ling was confident he could defeat them. His advanced Wild Combat physique, upgraded from its intermediate state, granted him a fifteenfold boost in physical strength. Additionally, the system had granted him five high-level skills from fantasy worlds, ensuring he could face even gods from the Douluo God Realm—not at the God King level, of course.

Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and A Rou also experienced substantial growth in their powers, reaching levels 76, 74, and 72, respectively. Xiao Wu and Tang Wutong, with their extraordinary talents, saw even faster progress, thanks to the system's enhancements and the immortal herb pills Zhao Ling created.

The pills, crafted from a blend of rare and common herbs, boosted soul power by two to three levels per dose while improving overall aptitude. Over five years, Xiao Wu's soul power skyrocketed from level 37 to 66, while Tang Wutong leaped from level 25 to 63—a meteoric rise that left even A Rou, Ah Yin, and Liu Erlong envious.

Bibi Dong's strength also soared, reaching level 82, far exceeding her original trajectory. Zhao Ling had gifted her an immortal herb upon visiting her in Spirit City, greatly enhancing her abilities. With the additional aptitude boost from the system's diary copy, she was on the fast track to unprecedented power.

Meanwhile, Poseidon, now a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, remained stagnant in terms of strength. However, her intimacy with Zhao Ling steadily grew. Three months after Zhao Ling left her on Poseidon Island, she discovered she was pregnant.

To Zhao Ling's confusion, the child had been in Poseidon's womb for five years with no sign of birth. He couldn't help but worry, 'Could this child be like the heroine from 'Star X Change,' pregnant for 36,000 years? Surely not… right?'
